For Schultz, a 77-year-old man, this is a chance of a lifetime. Schultz is part of a group of around 50 Germans who are on a bus journey along the ancient Silk Road.

  Speaking of his journey, he says, "I have been deeply interested in the Silk Road since I was a child, but now I finally have a chance to experience it."

   The two-month bus journey will take the group through Germany, Russia, and other 4 European countries. They will then enter China from the country's western part. It will be an unforgettable memory for them.

   Nearly half of the 13,000-kilometer trip will be inside China. From Xinjiang in the west to Shanghai in the east, the German visitors will see more than 20 Chinese cities. "We have managed the trip of the Silk Road for around 10 years. An increasing number of people, not only from German-speaking countries, have been joining us," says Liu Guoqiang from China Tours.

   Almost 26 million foreigners traveled to China in 2015, and about 5 million of them were from Europe. Beijing, Xi'an, Shanghai and the Yangtze River are traditional Chinese travel destinations for European tourists. Speaking of where he wants to go, Schultz says, "Compared with modern cities, the culture in western China attracts（吸引）me more."

   As Shi Xiang, head of the China Tours, says, "Being a new brand to attract foreign visitors, the Silk Road is good for people to know more about China, especially the northwestern part of the country."

A．By car. B．By train. C．By bus.       D．By subway.

34. Which is the best title for this passage?

C．Silk Road: A new way to learn about China

D．Silk Road: A better chance to see modern cities

   Have you ever made something to solve a problem? If you have, you're an inventor. Inventors often make things to solve problems. These things are called inventions. Some inventions are new things while other inventions make old things better.

   About half a million kids invent things each year and some kids even sell their inventions. A six-year-old girl didn't like cleaning the spoon she used to feed her cats, so she invented a spoon that cats can eat! A young inventor from Houston made a ramp（活动坡梯） for wheelchair users, which can be carried in a bag on a wheelchair.

   Sometimes one inventor makes more than one thing. For example, one young girl invented a bell that rings when a baby opens a drawer. This girl also made it easier to use certain tools. She made a new handle（把手） for cleaners.

   Some families have more than one inventor. One girl invented the Kiddie Stool. It is a stool which is fixed to a door and can be carried in the bag when it is not used. Later her sister made something she called the Happy Hands. She filled gloves with sand which could be used to put on the top of some papers to stop them from moving.

   How do inventors come up with new ideas? They listen to people complain about problems and that is how they find things that need to be improved. Look around, listen to people, and you might find a problem you can solve, too!

35. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?  

A．Inventors can be young or old.

B．Some inventors make many things.

C．Some families have more than one inventor.

D．Inventors are people who solve problems with inventions.

36. How many inventions are mentioned in total?  

A．2. B．4. C．6. D．7.

37. Which of the following is TRUE about the last paragraph?   

A．Kids often complain about problems.

B．Everyone needs to listen to others.

C．It is difficult to be an inventor.

D．Problems in daily life help inventor decide what to make.

    Maybe we three were the most unlucky graduates in our school history. I'll never forget the day when we had our graduation ceremony (毕业典礼) .

    I was known for being careless. I often fell down for no reason. Since I fell off the stage (舞台) during my primary graduation ceremony, my family bet that I would fall down again during my next graduation ceremony. The day came so quickly. This time, I proudly made it through the whole ceremony without falling. But I knocked over the whole backdrop (背景板) used to take pictures . I felt so embarrassed (尴尬的) the whole morning.

    My friend Julia was even more embarrassed. When she together with all the graduates was sitting quietly in the hall at eight in the morning, she didn't expect her father to come to attend her ceremony because he was really busy then. The hall was very quiet and you could even hear a pin (针) drop on the ground. When all of a sudden, out of the silence, she heard "Hey, Julia!" Everyone in the hall looked behind and found Julia's father, with a camera in his hand, smiling at her!

    Tiffany was the most beautiful girl of us three. She loved all kinds of dresses. On that day, she dressed herself beautifully and wanted to have some beautiful photos. Unluckily, it was one of the windiest days of our life. The wind blew her beautiful dress up in front of the whole graduate class! She didn't know whether to cry or to laugh.

38. The writer was very___________ in her daily life.   

A．careless B．careful C．friendly D．lazy

39. Julia's father ___________at the graduation ceremony.

C．took pictures for her D．dropped a pin on the ground

40. This story happened on a ___________morning.

41. Tiffany was embarrassed because ___________that day.   

A．she fell off the stage B．she didn't have beautiful dresses

C．her dress was blown up D．her photos weren't unforgettable

42. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?  

A．The girls weren't in the same school.

B．The writer knocked over the backdrop.

C．Julia knew that her father would come.

D．Tiffany loved all kinds of shoes.

 A team of researchers at ETH Zurich has the perfect long-lasting solution to our fog problem. They have developed a very thin and gold-based transparent coating（涂层）that can convert（转换）sunlight into heat, which can be applied to glass and other surfaces to prevent them from fogging.

The special coating is developed using titanium oxide and gold particles. It selectively absorbs infrared radiations（红外线照射）from the sunlight and creates a heating effect that is powerful enough to keep fog away from the surface of an object. The coating basically employs heat to stop fogging. The coating absorbs a large part of the infrared radiation, which causes it to heat up — by up to 8℃.

Gold might be expensive, but the researchers stress that their coating requires so little that the material costs remain low. Their coating is produced with standardized and readily scalable methods, all cost-effectively. However, although this product can work at very low levels of solar irradiation, it does rely on（依赖） a certain amount of light.

The researchers will develop the coating further for other applications. In the process, they will examine whether other metals work just as well as gold. There is no need to fear, however, this would cause a car or a building to heat up more in the summer. The researchers have already filed a patent. Hopefully, this groundbreaking product will soon be available on the market.

43. How does the new coating work to remove fog? 

  A. By reflecting part of sunlight selectively.

  B. By keeping cool air away from the object.

  C. By creating a thin film of water on the surface.

  D. By absorbing infrared radiations to heat the coating.

44. What is the limitation(局限) of the new coating? 

  A. It is considerably expensive.

  B. It depends on sunlight to work.

  C. It takes too much time to produce.

  D. It is difficult to clean and maintain.

45. What do the researchers plan to do next? 

  A. Apply for a patent for the invention.

  B. Develop the product for more practical uses.

  C. Explore the environmental impact of the coating.

  D. Seek a cheaper material as an alternative to gold.
