Ever since the 19th century, people's search for improved ways of producing electricity has never stopped. Now a UK company has developed a new kind of floor. It is very special. There is a system that can produce a certain amount of electricity very cheaply using the energy from footsteps. When people step on this special floor, electricity is produced.

The inventor of the floor came up with the idea when he was a student and worked in an energy business. The business asked him to find ways to power up street lights in the city center using the energy from the sun, but it soon became clear that this might not work because many city centers don't get enough sunlight because of tall buildings. Then he thought of a better plan.

Why not use the energy produced by people who walk past the street instead? The right technology could be used to convert this energy into electricity—right under people's feet.

The floor could actually be very efficient （效率高的）. This is especially true when it is used in very busy areas. And the reason is that a lot of energy is produced simply because of large numbers of people walking across the floor.

The floor can have other uses too, such as recording how many people visit a particular（特定的） place at particular times. This kind of information is very useful for certain people. For example, shop owners near the place would be interested in knowing what time of the day they have the highest customer numbers.

The technology was created out of a hope of making energy that is untouchable closer to people. The business also said it tried to find a way for people to further their understanding of problems of climate change and sustainability（可持续性）.

23. What is special about the new kind of floor?

A. It can be used in many busy areas in cities.

B. It depends on sunlight to produce electricity.

C. It can provide customers' shopping information.

D. It produces electricity with the energy from footsteps

24. Many city centers fail to get enough sunlight because ________.

A. the buildings are tall              B. the skies aren't clear

C. the traffic is always busy           D. the environment is polluted

25. We can learn from the passage that ________.

A. it is really difficult to produce electricity by using sunlight

B. the use of the floor may help solve the problem of climate change

C. the more people walk on the floor, the more electricity can be produced

D. the floor could be of little help to the shop owners near the street using it

26. The best title for the passage is ________.

A. A Creative Business              B. A Talented Inventor

C. A Discussion on Sunlight          D. A New Way of Producing Electricity P

D

“No freedom summer holiday” has become a popular topic on Weibo, as parents begin spending much time and money planning their children's holiday. It has been a similar topic these years, when “Having

30, 000 yuan a month cannot afford the summer holiday” also becomes popular online.

According to a survey, parents in big cities are ready to spend on their children's education during the break.

“I feel much more stressed during the summer holiday than on normal school days since I need to plan different activities for my children. A study tour costs 35, 000 yuan for a kid and there are also classes which are necessary for kids,” said Chan Lee, a 40-year-old mother of two primary school children.

Sending children on overseas tours has also become an important part of the break. Almost everyone in Chan's children's classes has joined a summer study tour. They wanted to experience an overseas educational environment, culture, and language through meeting people, visiting famous universities and sightseeing.

Cheng Guowei, a manager of a study tour center based in Shanghai, said parents care about their children's education. “Nearly 95% of our participants（参与者） are students, and most of them are primary and middle school kids. Yet this market is also very competitive（有竞争力的）, as there are many similar centers targeting the parents,” he said.

Yin Jianli is a writer. She is interested in family and education topics. She said it was unnecessary to plan too many activities for children during the summer holidays. “Parents are not helping their children. They are just doing it to cut down their own worry,” she said. Many parents thought they could buy their children a better education, “But actually a summer holiday should be a time for rest and play, not study,” she said.

27. The word “stressed” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.

A. bored B. worried C. relaxed D. excited

28. From the passage, we know ________.

A. all parents are ready to spend on their children's education

B. Cheng Guowei thinks most kids are interested in study tours

C. overseas tours can only help students to study a foreign language

D. parents spend much time and money during the summer holiday

29. Yin Jianli may agree that ________.

A. a summer holiday is a time for kids to study hard

B. parents could buy their children a better education

C. parents should plan more activities for their kids' holiday

D. a summer holiday is a time for kids to relax themselves

30. What can you infer（推断） from the passage?

A. It's important for kids to take a study tour.

B. Primary students are too young to take a tour.

C. Most children have less free time in summer vacation.

D. Many tour centers provide study tours for parents.

Motuo lies in the south of the Himalayas in Tibet. It is known as the “Natural Museum of Tibet”. It is home to different kinds of mountains, rivers, waterfalls, plants and animals. Its special location（位置）makes it a beautiful place, but at the same time, one of the hardest places to reach. It was the last county（县）in China without a highway.

The construction（建设） of the highway to Motuo started in the 1960s. However, it was not completed until over 50 years later. In 2013, the Motuo Highway was finally opened. The highway is 117 kilometers long. To make it safer, the two-way highway is open in only one direction every other day. Although it doesn't seem like a very well-built highway, it is still considered a big project. Why is that?

In this area, earthquakes and heavy rains happen very often. There could be falling rocks or even landslides. People must build many walls and nets to protect the highway. Another challenge is the snow.

Large amounts of snow can sometimes destroy forests, rocks and roads. As a result, the construction of the highway to Motuo was stopped several times. To solve this problem, people built a tunnel（隧道） that goes through the snowy mountain area. Finally Motuo is no longer shut off to the world.

The highway is not only a way to connect Motuo to the outside world, but also a great chance for us to see how our country takes care of people in the far mountain areas. At the same time, it teaches us the Chinese spirit of “never giving up”.

51. When did the construction of the highway to Motuo start ?

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

52. How long is the highway?
