* Cycling to your stop or station helps to reduce your carbon footprint.
* The cost of buying and maintaining a bicycle is around 1% of the cost of buying and maintaining a car.
* It provides an opportunity to socialize with people in your local community.
* Cycling provides commuters (通勤者) with economical and efficient access to public transport services. On average, 10 times more households are within cycling distance of public transport than they are within walking distance.
Taking your bike on the train
You can take your bike on the train on weekdays, except during the following peak times:
* 7 a.m.-9:30 a.m. towards the CBD (Central Business District);
* 3 p.m.-6:30 p. m. outwards from the CBD;
* at any time during weekends and public holidays.

Elizabeth discussed it with her family. Her family supported her. However, all the medical colleges refused her except Geneva Medical College in New York. When she graduated from Geneva Medical College in 1849, she became the first woman in America to earn the M. D. degree. She was not offered many opportunities as a young female physician, she opened her own office 2 years later. Her younger sister Dr. Emily Blackwell, joined her in 1856. Together with Dr. Marie Zakrzewska, they opened the New York Infirmary(医院) for Women and Children in 1857. After establishing the infirmary. Elizabeth Blackwell went on a year-long lecture tour of Great Britain. Her lectures and personal example inspired more women to take up medicine as a profession.
When the American Civil War broke out, the Blackwell sisters aided in nursing efforts. After the end of the war, Elizabeth Blackwell carried out a plan that she had developed together with her friend Florence Nightingale while in England. She opened the Women’s Medical College with her sister. This college was operated under her sister’s management. She moved to England the next year. There, she helped to organize the National Health Society and she founded the London School of Medicine for Women.

If you’re homeless and looking for a temporary shelter in Hawaii’s capital, expect a visit from a robotic police dog that will scan your eyes to make sure you don’t have a fever. That’s just one of the ways public safety agencies are starting to use Spot, a new robot that runs around with quick movement.
The police officials experimenting with the four-legged machines say they’re just another tool to keep emergency responders out of harm’s way as they search for dangers.
Joseph O’Neal, an officer of the Honolulu Police Department, said the robot has protected officers, shelter staff and residents by scanning body temperatures between mealtimes at a shelter where homeless people could quarantine(隔离) and get tested for COVID-19.The robot is also used to remotely interview individuals who have tested positive.
The company that makes the robots, Boston Dynamics, says it’s trying to do a good job of explaining to the public and its customers what Spot can and cannot do. “One of the most difficult tasks is accurately explaining the state of the technology to people who have never had personal experience with it,” said Michael Perry, vice president of the company.
There are roughly 500 Spot robots now in the wild. Perry said they’re commonly used by companies to check dangerous areas. Spot is also used to monitor construction sites, mines and factories, equipped with whatever sensor is needed for the job.
It’s still mostly controlled by humans, though all they have to do is tell it which direction to go and it can climb stairs or cross over rough areas. It can also operate autonomously, but only if it’s already memorized a road and there aren’t too many surprise obstacles(障碍). “The first value that most people see in the robot is taking a person out of a dangerous situation,” Perry said.
7. What do police officials use Spot robots do?
A. Treat patients’ fever. B. Find out patients’ eye problems.
C. Protect homeless people. D. Take people’s body temperature.
8. What’s the company’s big challenge?
A. How to describe the technology. B. How to win its customers’ trust.
C. How to promote Spot robots. D. How to produce more Spot robots.
9. What can we infer about Spot robots from the last paragraph?
A. They can plan their own road easily. B. They can choose direction themselves.
C. They can overcome many obstacles. D. They can remember a familiar road.
【答案】7. D 8. A 9. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款新型的机器人Spot。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“If you’re homeless and looking for a temporary shelter in Hawaii’s capital, expect a visit from a robotic police dog that will scan your eyes to make sure you don’t have a fever. That’s just one of the ways public safety agencies are starting to use Spot, a new robot that runs around with quick movement.(如果你无家可归，正在夏威夷的首府寻找临时住所，那么就等着机器人警犬来拜访吧，它会扫描你的眼睛，以确保你没有发烧。这只是公共安全机构开始使用Spot的方式之一。Spot是一种新型机器人，可以快速移动。)”可知，警察使用Spot机器人来量体温。故选D。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““One of the most difficult tasks is accurately explaining the state of the technology to people who have never had personal experience with it,” said Michael Perry, vice president of the company. (该公司副总裁迈克尔·佩里说，“最困难的任务之一是向从未亲身体验过这项技术的人准确解释这项技术的状态。”)”可知，公司面临的最大挑战是如何描述该技术。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It can also operate autonomously, but only if it’s already memorized a road and there aren’t too many surprise obstacles(障碍). (它也可以自动运行，但前提是它已经记住了一条路，没有太多的意外障碍。)”可推断， Spot机器人能记得一条熟悉的路。故选D。

Commercial airlines alone contribute around 3 percent of total global carbon emissions. But the industry is actively looking for green solutions in the form of sustainable(可持续发展的) airline fuel, and in one case, that fuel may have had a previous life as your household food waste. In a study released this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers detail a method of transforming food waste into sustainable airline fuel.
Biomass(生物质), such as animal and food waste, can be transformed into biofuels, which are renewable liquid fuels made from organic matter. Derek Vardon, a senior research engineer at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), says that their fuel worked as a mixture of 90 percent conventional petrol airline fuel and 10 percent alternative airline fuel required by the industry currently. They also show they could push it to a 70/30 mixture with more time and testing available.
Major companies are eager to participate in sustainable airline fuel because some sustainable solutions, such as battery-operated commercial planes, just aren’t possible yet with current battery technology. A battery-powered plane would be too heavy to fly long distances, so fuel that works in the same way as the fuel we have is a simpler way to trade out emission-heavy fossil fuels.
Vardon says that because the wet waste used in the process would normally go to a landfill (垃圾填埋场) and break down to release greenhouse gases, the process of making and using sustainable airline fuel could actually have a negative carbon footprint when scaled up.
Commercial airlines are also on board to find an affordable and sustainable solution to the carbon-intensive process of air travel. Airlines are looking to hit aggressive sustainability goals by 2050, including decreasing net carbon dioxide emissions by 50 percent.
10. Which of the following is used for sustainable airline power?
A. Biomass. B. Liquid fuel
C. Battery power. D. Fossil fuel.
11. Why are commercial planes still fuel-powered?
A. Biofuel proves less costly and easier to produce.
B. It’s convenient to create the proper fuel mixture.
C. Biofuel is environmentally friendly and sustainable.
D. Fuel-powered planes are likely to travel lighter and farther.
12. What does the underlined phrase “on board” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Taking off. B. Participating in.
C. Holding a meeting. D. Appearing on stage.
13. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Alternative Energy to Fossil Fuel.
B. How to Get Fossil Fuel Sustainable.
C. Changing Food Waste into Airplane Fuel.
D. How to Decrease Carbon Dioxide Emissions.
【答案】10. A 11. D 12. B 13. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在本周发表在《美国国家科学院院刊》上的一项研究：将食物垃圾转化为可持续航空燃料，该燃料有望给未来客机带来动力。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“In a study released this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers detail a method of transforming food waste into sustainable airline fuel.( 在本周发表在《美国国家科学院院刊》上的一项研究中，研究人员详细介绍了一种将食物垃圾转化为可持续航空燃料的方法。)”和第二段第一句“Biomass(生物质), such as animal and food waste, can be transformed into biofuels, which are renewable liquid fuels made from organic matter. (生物质，如动物和食物垃圾，可以转化为生物燃料，这是一种由有机物制成的可再生液体燃料。)”可知，生物质可以被转化为航空燃料。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“A battery-powered plane would be too heavy to fly long distances, so fuel that works in the same way as the fuel we have is a simpler way to trade out emission-heavy fossil fuels.( 电池驱动的飞机太重，无法飞很远的距离，因此，与我们现有的燃料工作原理相同的燃料，是一种更简单的方式，可以取代高排放的化石燃料。)”可知目前飞机仍然是燃料驱动的原因是，与电池驱动相比，燃料驱动的飞机更加轻便、飞得更远。故选D项。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段最后一句“ Airlines are looking to hit aggressive sustainability goals by 2050, including decreasing net carbon dioxide emissions by 50 percent.(航空公司希望在2050年前达到积极的可持续发展目标，包括将二氧化碳净排放量减少50%。)”可知划线单词意为“（商业航空公司也）参与（寻找一种负担得、可起的持续的解决方案）”，on board意为“参与”。故选B项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“In a study released this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers detail a method of transforming food waste into sustainable airline fuel.(在本周发表在《美国国家科学院院刊》上的一项研究中，研究人员详细介绍了一种将食物垃圾转化为可持续航空燃料的方法。)”结合全文可知，文章主要讲述了研究人员正在努力将食物垃圾转化为可持续的航空燃料。所以C项“Changing Food Waste into Airplane Fuel.(把食物垃圾变成飞机燃料)”作标题能概括全文主旨。故选C项。

Get into a group bigger than two and you get butterflies in your stomach. Staff meetings at work are difficult. And parties are the worst.
You’re not alone. Social anxiety affects an estimated 15 million Americans. Here are some tips to help you better navigate the social world:
For formal situations: Plan and prepare what you want to say
Know you want to get your point heard at that big meeting? Plan and prepare. While the gold standard seems to be able to react quickly, it’s fine to know what you want to say in advance. ____14____ . Have notes in front of you in case you are nervous.
For casual situations: Prepare
Party coming up? Like the staff meeting, be prepared. ____15____. Even if you worry that your story may seem out of place, try to make it fit: If you don’t know what to say on a particular topic, spin it back to what you do know. For example, your question about the economy brings me back to climate change; what you said reminds me of the time I ...
____16____
The problem with listening to what your anxious mind is telling you is that it works: If you skip the staff meeting or the party, you will feel less anxious, but this is only feeding the dragon and will make those anxious circuits in your brain stronger. ____17____. Over time, this will expand your comfort zone.
Take baby steps
Decide to go to the party and tell yourself you will stay for a half-hour and then see how you feel. Think of this less as some command performance and more as an experiment in expanding your social world. Baby steps like these are fine – it’s about learning to fight your emotions by moving forward. ____18____.
A. Don’t listen to your anxiety
B. With practice, it will become easier
C. Step forward and speak up in spite of it
D. However, this is not the best way to socialize
E. Map out a couple of stories that you feel comfortable sharing
F. The solution to any anxiety is to run toward it, not away from it
G. Write out your speech, however long or short, and practice ahead of time
【答案】14. G 15. E 16. A 17. F 18. B

55. 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。
It was probably her giggling(咯咯笑) that drew my attention. English reading really wasn’t that funny as far as I knew.
It was early May and I was facing a class of sixteen kids. Though I had almost three years of teaching, this particular sixth grade class had pushed me to the limits of my patience far too many times, and I couldn’t wait to wave goodbye to them for the summer.
I had kept away from the ideal of my first year of teaching. That first year I’d covered up the small hole in the window with an inspirational poster. I’d decorated the walls with pictures of famous universities. I told the kids daily that they always had something worth struggling for. Together we would work hard and make something of their lives.
The problem, of course, was that my ideals kept being defeated by reality. Not just the reality of troubled families. I was also faced with the basic reality of the twelve- and thirteen-year-old mind. The universal mind, “You can’t make me!”
And now I was faced with a giggle when I should have had only full attention. Walking over to the young peacebreaker, I asked for the note she had in her hands. Frozen, she refused to give it to me. I waited, all attention in the room on the quiet battle between teacher and student. When she finally handed it over, saying, “Okay, but I didn’t draw it,” which showed this wasn’t just an ordinary note being passed.
After getting the class going on an English reading test, I finally had a chance to look through it. It was a hand-drawn picture of me, eyes monitoring widely, teeth blackened, and the words “I’m stupid” coming out of my mouth. There was no doubt about who it was supposed to be.
I managed to fold up the picture calmly. My mind, however, was working angrily and wanting to criticize some students on the scene. I figured I knew the two most likely candidates for drawing the picture. Maybe it was high time that I did it!
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Thankfully, calmness returned to my mind.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Looking over the notes later, I realized I was too strict with them.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Thankfully, calmness returned to my mind. Suppressing my pride, I showed them the picture. The whole class was silent as I told them how hurtful this was for a teacher. Struggling to control my emotion, I demanded there must be a reason behind for such a picture and that now was their chance to tell me anything they needed to tell me. Asking them to get out of paper and write silently, I sniffled in the back of the classroom.
Looking over the notes later, I realized I was too strict with them. Where I thought I was driving them to success, I was actually driving them away. After class, the girl walked up, handing me a card embarrassedly. One side of the card was sincere regret for the ugly joke while the other side the appeal for forgiveness. I was deeply moved. Meanwhile, a great sense of guilt arose for being too harsh. After all, students appreciate being appreciated, for teachers’ encouragement is their best motivating force.
