Nowadays, countries are eager to get more electric cars on the road because moving away from gas-powered vehicles is vital to fighting climate change. China says that most new vehicles sold by 2035 will be electric. The United Kingdom will ban new gas-powered cars in 2030. One of the world’s major automakers, General Motors (GM), announced that it would stop selling gas-powered cars by 2035.

The key to an electric future is batteries. Automakers are racing to pack the most energy into the smallest one. The lithium-ion battery is what powers our mobile devices, which can be recharged again and again. Making these batteries has an environmental cost. Lithium is taken from the earth, like the oil used to make gasoline. But the long-term cost is much smaller. “Once you burn gasoline, you can’t recycle it,” says Jessika Trancik, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “But when you use up a battery, you can still recycle the material.”

It’s up to governments to make electric cars accessible to everyone. National policies can help. In the United States, an electric Chevy Volt costs about $35,000. Trancik says charging stations must also be made widely available. As part of an effort to fight climate change, America plans to build half a million of them in the US by 2030. She hopes enough charging stations will be built soon. “It’s important to put chargers where many different people can have access to them,” she says. “Not just wealthier people.”

Last year, almost 5% of approximately 67 million new cars sold worldwide were electric. For Venkat Viswanathan, a professor of mechanical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, green electricity is part of the solution to climate change, and electric cars are just the beginning. He sees a future of solar-powered homes and electric flying cars. “Soon, a plug-in vehicle might be as cheap as a gas-powered car. It is now abundantly clear that electric is the future,” he says. “It will be a totally new world.”

24. Which word best describes Trancik’s attitude to the lithium-ion battery?

A. Conservative. B. Skeptical. C. Positive. D. Disapproving.

25. What does Trancik indicate about charging stations in Paragraph 3?

A. They should come down in price. B. They may be unfairly laid out.

C. Enough of them have been built. D. They favor more ordinary people.

26. What can be inferred from Viswanathan?

A. Gas-powered cars will be cheaper. B. Green electricity will be widely used.

C. The price of batteries will drop sharply. D. Electric vehicles will beat climate change.

27. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Charging Stations Are Needed B. Vehicles Have Clean Options

C. Climate Change Fuels Electricity D. Our Cars Are Going Electric

Sleep with your pet? “In general, it is a very good thing for animals to sleep with their owners.” said Dr. Dan a marble, the chief officer of North American Veterinary Community. Pets who share their owners' bed tend to have a higher trust level and a tighter bond with the humans in their lives. It's a big display of trust on their part. “Dogs and cats who are more closely bonded with their humans get additional health benefits, including increase in beneficial feel-good hormones.” she added.

Let's turn to you. “Animals may move or bark and sleep in dogs (and cats) is not continuous and they may get up and walk on the bed, stepping on people. All of these activities will fragment your sleep.” said Dr. Vsevolod Polotsky at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. These “microawakenings,” which can happen without your awareness, are destructive because they pull you out of deep sleep and they have been associated with the release of the stress hormone, cortisol, which can make sleep even worse.

However, recent studies have shown that pets in the bedroom could be beneficial for some of us. “People with depression or anxiety may benefit from that because the pet is a big pillow, a big blanket which decrease their anxiety.” said sleep specialist Dr. Ram Dasgupta, an assistant professor from University of Southern California. Data showed over half of pet owners allowed their pet to sleep in the bedroom—and the majority found their pet “not interruptive or even beneficial to sleep.”

Despite the new science, we still need to think twice about bringing our dogs, cats or indoor pigs into our beds. If you are one of the millions of people who suffer from asthma, allergies or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, sleeping with a fur ball could become a nightmare. And there are some pets that you should never invite to bed and a lot of them have very specific health and safety requirements.

28. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?

A. Human's trust in pets.

B. Impacts of keeping pets.

C. pets' close relationship with humans.

D. Benefits for pets sleeping with humans.

29. What does the underlined word “fragment” mean in paragraph 2?

A. Sweep away. B. Make up for.

C. Break into pieces. D. Contribute to.

30. How can sleeping with pets help according to Dr. Ram Dasgupta?

A. Relieve pressure. B. Boost creativity.

C. Feel confident. D. Avoid anxiety.

31. What ' the author's advice on sleeping with pets?

A. Better safe than sorry. B. Love me, love my dog.

C. Pets cure more than doctors. D. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

D

Under the background of the slow growth of its total population to 1.44 billion, China has seen a sharp rise in older adults over the past decade, solidifying the country’s rapidly aging pattern, the latest national census (人口普查) data shows. The population on the Chinese mainland increased by an average of 0.53 percent annually during the past 10 years to 1.41 billion, compared with an annual growth rate of 0.57 percent from 2000 to 2010, according to the 7th national census published by the National Bureau of Statistics.

“The growth of the total population has slowed down but remains at a steady pace,” Ning Jizhe, head of the bureau, said at a news conference. “Based on trends in recent years, China’s population will grow at an increasingly slow rate in the future while remaining above 1.4 billion.” The increasing elderly population has become a defining feature of the past decade.

Ning said an aging society will set the tone for China's population structure for a long time, presenting challenges and opportunities. “A graying population will pile pressure on supply of labor force and social services, as well as adding to families’ elderly care burden. But more elderly people could also motivate consumption of products and services targeting this age group, and advance the development of some technologies,” he said.

Ning added that those between the ages of 60 and 69, who are equipped with knowledge, experience and skills and are generally in good health, make up nearly 56 percent of all older adults. “Their potential to continue making contributions to society and playing a constructive role is big,” he responded to a question on the outlook for raising the retirement age and carrying out other potential measures aimed at addressing the aging trend. Some population economists also said the latest number and proportion (比例) of elderly are largely within predictions, and the aging trend will continue for a long time.

32. What does the 7th national census data show?

A. The aging population of China has risen rapidly.

B. The annual growth rate has increased by 0.04%.

C. The annual growth rate was 0.57% during the past 10 years.

D. The total population of Chinese mainland increased to 1.44 billion.

33. What does Ning Jizhe say about the growth of graying population?

A. It is beyond predictions. B. It brings few advantages.

C. It has sharply slowed down. D. It will increase pressure on family.

34. What is Ning Jizhe’s attitude to the graying population?

A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Negative.

35. What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A. The aging trend brings problems

B. An aging society presents opportunities

C. China’s population gets old as growth slows

D. Measures are to be taken to tackle the aging trend

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When I was a kid about twelve years old, I had a lot of freckles(雀斑). I had reached the age when I had begun to really look at myself in the mirror, and I was overwhelmed. Apparently my mother was too, because sometimes she’d look at me and shake her head.

I had a cousin whose name was Janette Elizabeth. She looked exactly like her name sounds because she had a flawless peaches-and-cream complexion (肤色). I couldn’t help comparing myself with her and thinking that my life would be a lot different if I had beautiful skin too.

And then, in the back pages of Janette Elizabeth’s magazine, I found the answer: an advertisement for freckle-remover cream. I knew that I could afford it if I saved my money, and I did. The ad assured me that the product would work well. For three weeks I went to the mailbox every day precisely at the time the mail was delivered. I knew that if someone else in my family got the mail, I would never hear the end of it. There was no way that they would let me open the box in private.

Three weeks later, my package finally came. I went to my room with it, sat on the edge of my bed, and opened it. I was sure that I was looking at a miracle. When I got up the next morning, I applied the cream all over my body. Then I took my hoe (锄头) and went with my brother and cousins to hoe the field, where I got rid of some tiger lilies (虎百合), seemingly ugly with black and small spots.

The sun was so strong that even my face started to bum. By the end of the day, when I came back to the house, my family, knowing nothing about the freckle-remover cream, began to say things like “I’ve never seen you with that many freckles before.” When I saw myself in the mirror, I found my freckles even darker and clearer. I dissolved into tears and hid in the bathroom.

【67题答案】

【答案】My mother called me to the dinner table, but I ignored her. When she came to the bathroom door and demanded that I come out and have a meal, I burst out of the door, tears streaming down my cheeks. Before she stopped me, I stormed into my room and slammed the door shut behind me. Looking into the mirror, I saw a girl with more and darker freckles on the face instead of peaches-and-cream complexion. Only then did I realize that the cream had a reverse effect when wearing it in the sun. I threw myself down on the bed and sobbed.

After what seemed a century, I heard a gentle knock on my bedroom’s door. Hesitating for a moment, with puffy eyes and still wet cheeks, I shuffled across the room to open the door. At the door stood my mother and Janette with a big bunch of tiger lilies, which were covered with black spots but amazingly beautiful. I stared at them in stunned surprise, not knowing what to say. My mother held me in her warm embrace. “There are all kinds of flowers, and they are all beautiful and sweet,” said she. Hearing this, and smelling the fragrance of the tiger lilies, the freckles on my face seemed to have magically faded.
