Every April I am trubled by the same cncern that spring might nt ccur this year. The landscape lks dull, with hills, sky and frest appearing grey. My spirits ebb, as they did during an April snwfall when I first came t Maine. “Just wait,” a neighbur advised. “Yu’ll wake up ne mrning and spring will just be here.”
And lk, n 3 May that year I awke t a green s amazing as t be almst electric, as if spring were simply a matter f flipping a switch. Hills, sky and frest revealed their purples, blues and greens. Leaves had unflded and daffdils were fighting their way heavenward.
Then there was the ld apple tree. It sits n an undevelped lt in my neighburhd. It belngs t n ne and therefre t everyne. The tree’s dark twisted branches stretch ut in unpruned(未经修剪的) abandn. Each spring it blssms s freely that the air becmes filled with the scent f apple.
Until last year, I thught I was the nly ne aware f this tree. And then ne day, in a bit f spring madness, I set ut t remve a few disrderly branches. N sner had I arrived under the tree than neighburs pened their windws and stepped nt their prches(门廊；走廊). These were peple I barely knew and seldm spke t, but it was as if I had cme uninvited int their persnal gardens.
My mbile-hme neighbur was the first t speak. “Yu’re nt cutting it dwn, are yu?” she asked anxiusly. Anther neighbur frwned as I cut ff a branch. “Dn’t kill it, nw,” he warned. Sn half the neighburhd had jined me under the apple tree. It struck me that I had lived there fr five years and nly nw was learning these peple’s names, what they did fr a living and hw they passed the winter. It was as if the ld apple tree was gathering us under its branches fr the purpse f bth acquaintanceship (相识的人/熟人)and shared wnder. I culdn’t help recalling Rbert Frst’s wrds:
The trees that have it in their pent-up(被压抑的) buds
T darken nature and be summer wds
One thaw(解冻/关系的缓和) led t anther. Just the ther day I saw ne f my neighburs at the lcal stre. He remarked hw this recent winter had been especially lng and cmplained f nt having seen r spken at length t anyne in ur neighburhd. And then, he lked at me and said, “We need t prune(修剪) that apple tree again.”
24. By saying that “my spirits ebb” in paragraph 1, the authr means that __________.
A. he feels relievedB. he is tired
C. he is surprisedD. he feels blue
25. The apple tree mentined in the passage is mst likely t __________.
A. be appealing nly t the authr
B. have been abandned by its riginal wner
C. be regarded as a delight in the neighburhd
D. have been neglected by everyne in the cmmunity
26. Accrding t paragraph 4, why did the neighburs pen their windws and step nt their prches?
A. They wanted t get t knw the authr.
B. They were cncerned abut the safety f the tree.
C. They wanted t prevent the authr frm pruning the tree.
D. They were surprised that smene unknwn was pruning the tree.
27. It can be inferred that the authr’s neighbur mentined in the last paragraph mst cared abut __________.
A. when spring wuld arriveB. hw t pass the lng winter
C. the pruning f the apple treeD. the neighburhd gathering
C
Reading can be a scial activity. Think f the peple wh belng t bk grups. They chse bks t read and then meet t discuss them. Nw, the website Bk Crssing.cm turns the page n the traditinal idea f a bk grup.
Members g n the site and register (登记) the bks they wn and wuld like t share. Bk Crssing prvides an identificatin number (识别码) t stick inside the bk. Then the persn leaves it in a public place, hping that the bk will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader wh finds it.
Bruce Pedersn, the managing directr f Bk Crssing, says, “The tw things that change yur life are the peple yu meet and bks yu read. Bk Crssing cmbines bth.”
Members leave bks n park benches and buses, in train statins and cffee shps. Whever finds their bk will g t the site and recrd where they fund it.
Peple wh find a bk can als leave a jurnal entry describing what they thught f it. E— mails are then sent t the BkCrssers t keep them updated abut where their bks have been fund. Bruce Pedersn says the idea is fr peple nt t be selfish by keeping a bk t gather dust n a shelf at hme.
Bk Crssing is part f a trend (趋势) amng peple wh want t get back t the “real” and nt the virtual (虚拟).The site nw has mre than ne millin members in mre than ne hundred thirty—five cuntries.
28. Why des the authr mentin bk grups in the first paragraph?
A. T explain what they are.
B. T intrduce Bk Crssing.
C. T stress the imprtance f reading.
D. T encurage readers t share their ideas.
29. What des the underlined wrd “it” in Paragraph 2 refer t?
A. An adventure.B. A public place.
C. The bk.D. The identificatin number.
30. What will a Bk Crsser d with a bk after reading it?
A. Keep it safe in his bkcase.B. Mail it back t its wner.
CMeet ther readers t discuss it.D. Pass it n t anther reader.
31. What’s peple’s attitude twards “Bk Crssing”?
A. Negative B. indifferent C. DubtfulD. favrable
D
Nt unlike the wings f airplanes, the blades（叶片） f wind turbines（涡轮机） need t be kept ice-free in rder t functin prperly. Scientists have nw develped an inexpensive methd f using drnes（无人机） t apply an ec-friendly anti-icing cating(涂层) t thse blades.
If t much ice builds up n wind turbine blades, they will turn mre slwly, prducing less energy. What’s mre, if an equal amunt f ice isn’t present n all three blades, the turbine’s balance may be thrwn ff, leading t increased wear and pssibly even disastrus failure.
There are anti-icing heating systems that can be built int the blades, but these may be beynd the financial means f many wind farm（风电场） peratrs. The same can be said fr using helicpters t apply ice-preventin chemicals.
Seeking a mre ecnmical but still effective alternative, scientists frm tw branches f Germany’s Fraunhfer research grup recently started lking t drnes. The research prject is knwn as “TURBO: Temprary cating by means f drnes—Icing prtectin f wind turbines as a case study”.
In the current versin f the resulting system, a hexacpter drne is equipped with a small pump that delivers anti-icing liquid. The liquid is sprayed（喷洒） at high pressure—which is just 0．3 mm wide—prducing tiny drplets with a diameter f 100 micrmeters.
Using this setup, the drne has successfully been used t apply catings f the drplets nt the edges f wind turbine blades, even at wind speeds f up t 35 km/h（22 mph）. Once slidified（固化/凝固）, thse catings prevent ice frmatin fr several weeks befre a fresh cating is applied.
The scientists are nw seeking industry partners t help cmmercialize9(商业化) the TURBO technlgy. It culd als find use in the maintenance(维护) f pwer lines, the upper levels f tall buildings, r ther things that are difficult t reach by cnventinal means.
32．What is paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A．Prblems caused by icing.B．The prcess f ice frmatin.
C．Disasters brught abut by drnes.D．The functin f wind turbines.
33．Which wrd can best describe anti-icing heating systems?
A．Ineffective.B．Unnecessary.C．Expensive.D．Dangerus.
34．What can we learn abut the TURBO technlgy frm the last paragraph?
A．It has a wider range f applicatins.
B．It is a relatively traditinal apprach.
C．It can slve the prblem nce and fr all（一劳永逸）.
D．It is mre cstly than using ice-preventin chemicals.
35．What is the best title fr the text?
A．The Advantages f Using Wind Energy
B．Drnes Prtect Wind Turbines Frm Icing
C．Wind Turbines Remve Ice n Their Own
D．A Majr Breakthrugh in Drne Technlgy

Every April I am trubled by the same cncern that spring might nt ccur this year. The landscape lks dull, with hills, sky and frest appearing grey. My spirits ebb, as they did during an April snwfall when I first came t Maine. “Just wait,” a neighbur advised. “Yu’ll wake up ne mrning and spring will just be here.”
And lk, n 3 May that year I awke t a green s amazing as t be almst electric, as if spring were simply a matter f flipping a switch. Hills, sky and frest revealed their purples, blues and greens. Leaves had unflded and daffdils were fighting their way heavenward.
Then there was the ld apple tree. It sits n an undevelped lt in my neighburhd. It belngs t n ne and therefre t everyne. The tree’s dark twisted branches stretch ut in unpruned(未经修剪的) abandn. Each spring it blssms s freely that the air becmes filled with the scent f apple.
Until last year, I thught I was the nly ne aware f this tree. And then ne day, in a bit f spring madness, I set ut t remve a few disrderly branches. N sner had I arrived under the tree than neighburs pened their windws and stepped nt their prches(门廊；走廊). These were peple I barely knew and seldm spke t, but it was as if I had cme uninvited int their persnal gardens.
My mbile-hme neighbur was the first t speak. “Yu’re nt cutting it dwn, are yu?” she asked anxiusly. Anther neighbur frwned as I cut ff a branch. “Dn’t kill it, nw,” he warned. Sn half the neighburhd had jined me under the apple tree. It struck me that I had lived there fr five years and nly nw was learning these peple’s names, what they did fr a living and hw they passed the winter. It was as if the ld apple tree was gathering us under its branches fr the purpse f bth acquaintanceship (相识的人/熟人)and shared wnder. I culdn’t help recalling Rbert Frst’s wrds:
The trees that have it in their pent-up(被压抑的) buds
T darken nature and be summer wds
One thaw(解冻/关系的缓和) led t anther. Just the ther day I saw ne f my neighburs at the lcal stre. He remarked hw this recent winter had been especially lng and cmplained f nt having seen r spken at length t anyne in ur neighburhd. And then, he lked at me and said, “We need t prune(修剪) that apple tree again.”
24. By saying that “my spirits ebb” in paragraph 1, the authr means that __________.
A. he feels relievedB. he is tired
C. he is surprisedD. he feels blue
25. The apple tree mentined in the passage is mst likely t __________.
A. be appealing nly t the authr
B. have been abandned by its riginal wner
C. be regarded as a delight in the neighburhd
D. have been neglected by everyne in the cmmunity
26. Accrding t paragraph 4, why did the neighburs pen their windws and step nt their prches?
A. They wanted t get t knw the authr.
B. They were cncerned abut the safety f the tree.
C. They wanted t prevent the authr frm pruning the tree.
D. They were surprised that smene unknwn was pruning the tree.
27. It can be inferred that the authr’s neighbur mentined in the last paragraph mst cared abut __________.
A. when spring wuld arriveB. hw t pass the lng winter

Reading can be a scial activity. Think f the peple wh belng t bk grups. They chse bks t read and then meet t discuss them. Nw, the website Bk Crssing.cm turns the page n the traditinal idea f a bk grup.
Members g n the site and register (登记) the bks they wn and wuld like t share. Bk Crssing prvides an identificatin number (识别码) t stick inside the bk. Then the persn leaves it in a public place, hping that the bk will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader wh finds it.
Bruce Pedersn, the managing directr f Bk Crssing, says, “The tw things that change yur life are the peple yu meet and bks yu read. Bk Crssing cmbines bth.”
Members leave bks n park benches and buses, in train statins and cffee shps. Whever finds their bk will g t the site and recrd where they fund it.
Peple wh find a bk can als leave a jurnal entry describing what they thught f it. E— mails are then sent t the BkCrssers t keep them updated abut where their bks have been fund. Bruce Pedersn says the idea is fr peple nt t be selfish by keeping a bk t gather dust n a shelf at hme.
Bk Crssing is part f a trend (趋势) amng peple wh want t get back t the “real” and nt the virtual (虚拟).The site nw has mre than ne millin members in mre than ne hundred thirty—five cuntries.

Nt unlike the wings f airplanes, the blades（叶片） f wind turbines（涡轮机） need t be kept ice-free in rder t functin prperly. Scientists have nw develped an inexpensive methd f using drnes（无人机） t apply an ec-friendly anti-icing cating(涂层) t thse blades.
If t much ice builds up n wind turbine blades, they will turn mre slwly, prducing less energy. What’s mre, if an equal amunt f ice isn’t present n all three blades, the turbine’s balance may be thrwn ff, leading t increased wear and pssibly even disastrus failure.
There are anti-icing heating systems that can be built int the blades, but these may be beynd the financial means f many wind farm（风电场） peratrs. The same can be said fr using helicpters t apply ice-preventin chemicals.
Seeking a mre ecnmical but still effective alternative, scientists frm tw branches f Germany’s Fraunhfer research grup recently started lking t drnes. The research prject is knwn as “TURBO: Temprary cating by means f drnes—Icing prtectin f wind turbines as a case study”.
In the current versin f the resulting system, a hexacpter drne is equipped with a small pump that delivers anti-icing liquid. The liquid is sprayed（喷洒） at high pressure—which is just 0．3 mm wide—prducing tiny drplets with a diameter f 100 micrmeters.
Using this setup, the drne has successfully been used t apply catings f the drplets nt the edges f wind turbine blades, even at wind speeds f up t 35 km/h（22 mph）. Once slidified（固化/凝固）, thse catings prevent ice frmatin fr several weeks befre a fresh cating is applied.
The scientists are nw seeking industry partners t help cmmercialize9(商业化) the TURBO technlgy. It culd als find use in the maintenance(维护) f pwer lines, the upper levels f tall buildings, r ther things that are difficult t reach by cnventinal means.
32．What is paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A．Prblems caused by icing.B．The prcess f ice frmatin.
C．Disasters brught abut by drnes.D．The functin f wind turbines.
33．Which wrd can best describe anti-icing heating systems?
A．Ineffective.B．Unnecessary.C．Expensive.D．Dangerus.
34．What can we learn abut the TURBO technlgy frm the last paragraph?
A．It has a wider range f applicatins.
B．It is a relatively traditinal apprach.
C．It can slve the prblem nce and fr all（一劳永逸）.
D．It is mre cstly than using ice-preventin chemicals.
35．What is the best title fr the text?
A．The Advantages f Using Wind Energy
B．Drnes Prtect Wind Turbines Frm Icing
C．Wind Turbines Remve Ice n Their Own
D．A Majr Breakthrugh in Drne Technlgy
