Discover the Canadian Rockies by rail and car. Enjoy two days aboard the scenic Rocky Mountaineer, combined with the freedom to discover fantastic Banff National Park in your spare time by rental car.

One afternoon, while staying with friends at their house there, my husband and I decided to go for a walk along the traffic-free country road in the area. We met a beautiful Golden Retriever. He seemed exceptionally friendly so we stopped to play with him, throwing a stick which he retrieved (取回) several times happily. When we continued our walk, he followed us. I couldn’t deny that we were enjoying his company.

After about twenty minutes, we found ourselves walking along a dirt road in an unfamiliar area. One house, almost hidden by tall trees, seemed somehow strange. I wanted to get as far away from that place as possible.

Just then, the door to the house opened and five dogs rushed out, barking as they ran toward us. I felt terrified and couldn’t move. All of a sudden, our new friend appeared between the dogs and us. He faced them-all five of them-barking and baring his teeth. I was amazed to see the attacking dogs stop in their tracks ten feet away from him. Our protector held them there while we escaped.

At a safe distance, we looked back and saw the five dogs heading back toward their house. But the Golden Retriever was nowhere in sight. I felt an ache in my heart; I missed our friend already.

With a feeling of emptiness, we made our way back to the house, hoping the whole way that we would see him again. But it was not to be.

When I told our friend about the encounter, her eyes flew wide open as she exclaimed, “It was an angel!”

To this day I have no doubt, a four-legged angel protected us.

24．While meeting the house hidden by tall trees, the author may feel _________.

A．curious B．frightened C．peaceful D．excited

25．Which of the words can NOT be used to describe the Golden Retriever?

A．Loyal. B．Brave. C．Cruel. D．Lovely.

26．What is the best title for the text?

A．A Romantic Walk B．A Beautiful Encounter

C．A Four-Legged Angel D．A Terrible Experience

27．Which of the following can be used as a quotation under the title?

A．May the ford answer you when you are in trouble, may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. —Psalm

B．Sweat cleanses from the inside. It comes from places a shower will never reach. —George Sheehan

C．Grow old with me! The best is yet to be. —Robert Browning

D．There’s a lot more to being a woman than being a mother, but there’s a hell of a lot more to being a mother than most people suspect. —Roseanne Barr

C

How would you go without your smartphone? For many of us, our smartphone is the first and last thing we look at every day. We depend on it to perform a number of tasks and connect with our friends and family. But have we become addicted to our phones?

Certainly, the inventor of the first mobile phone, American engineer Martin Cooper, thinks we might be. In a BBC interview, he suggested people quit scrolling （刷屏） and “get a life”. But of course, once we start scrolling or watching videos, we just can't kick the habit. Psychologist Jean Twenge says we feel regret for “checking our phone again and again if we're waiting for a text or getting really into social media then kind of, looking up and realizing that an hour has passed.”

But does it matter if we make the most of this technology? Possibly, because like medicine,the problem appears when it is withdrawn. A study from King's College London found young people couldn't control the amount of time they spend on their phone. Such behaviour means that people become “anxious” or “upset” if they are not allowed to be on the phone continuously,which can cause anxiety and mental health problems.

Interestingly, another study by the London School of Economics Science suggests we don't just look at our phones when we receive text or email messages. The people they studied felt an automatic（自动的）

need to check their phone， just as a smoker would light a cigarette.

One solution could be an app that rewards （奖励） students for time spent away from their phones. Another choice is changing your smartphone to a dumb phone that has none of the things that turn your attention away. But mainly, perhaps, we just need to look up more and reconnect with the real world!

28. What is Martin Cooper's attitude to focusing on smartphones?

A. Uncaring.        B. Doubtful.          C. Unclear.        D. Unacceptable.

29.What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. Stopped.           B. Increased.         C. Offered.         D. Saved.

30.What is the author's key suggestion in the last paragraph?

A. Concentrate on studies.           B. Get a reward for offline time.

C. Buy a new smartphone.           D. Contact with the real world.

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

A. Benefits from Smartphones             B. Addiction to Smartphones

C. Development of Smartphones           D. Disadvantages of Smartphones

D

Which is better for Earth: an electric or gas-powered vehicle? The answer to this question might seem blindingly obvious. Of course electric cars must be better for the environment, because they don’t give off greenhouse gases as people drive. However, electric vehicles (EVs) aren’t perfect, and they come with their own set of polluting problems. Their batteries require a large amount of energy to produce.

Battery production is just one part of an electric car’s life span. A study looked at the entire life cycle of an EV’s emissions(排放)，from mining the metals for the batteries to producing the electricity needed to power them, and then compared this with the average emissions of a gas-powered vehicle. The team found that when EVs are charged with coal-powered electricity, they’re actually worse for the environment than gas-powered cars.

“Only when connected to the clean energy do EVs have an advantage over the gas-powered cars on a greenhouse gas basis,” said Colin Sheppard, an expert in energy and transportation systems. That’s why more and more countries are decreasing the power supply from coal. In China, the national grid is improving with more efforts in renewable energy. For example, it has twice as much wind energy capacity as the U.S. and it builds more solar panels per year than any other countries.

Sheppard has modelled a future in which all cars are electric. “We want to understand what it might be like if all passenger vehicles were electrified.” The model suggests that if all vehicles in the U.S. were electric, greenhouse-gas emissions would be 46% less every year. This reduction could be increased even further if those vehicles were using a technique known as “smart charging” in which cars are recharged at chosen times (often at night) to reduce the cost of electricity.

In short, it’s far easier to argue for buying an EV than a gas-powered vehicle. But what about the cost? Aren’t electric vehicles too expensive for most people?

32. In which case do EVs get more heavy-polluted than gas-powered cars?

A. Being powered only by batteries.     B. Using coal-powered electricity.

C. Starting to give off greenhouse gases.    D. Replacing gas-powered vehicles entirely.

33. How does Sheppard’s model show the reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions?

A. With a discussion.  B. With an examination.

C. With a comparison.  D. With a questionnaire.

34. What can be inferred from the text?

A. China is making advances in renewable energy.

B. Compared with gas-powered cars, EVs are at an advantage.

C. There is still room for the development of EVs.

D. It’s not a challenge to choose between EVs and gas-powered cars.

35. What might the paragraph following the passage be about?

A. Inventing green gas-powered vehicles.   B. Developing environment-friendly grids.

C. Getting rid of fossil energy like coal and oil.  D. Making electric vehicles more affordable.
