Fr Cruz, wh grew up in Peru’s muntainus regin f Cuzc, fg represents a massive pprtunity. As a by, he had t hike fr mre than an hur every day acrss rugh hills t cllect water frm the nearest surce. But ver time, he realized that during the rainy seasn, drps f water wuld gather in the large leaves f banana trees. One day, he and his father built a canal system with the leaves t cllect water. He mved t Lima at the age f 25.
Shcked by the water shrtages and expensive water supply that sme f the city’s prest residents were suffering, Cruz set up EI Mvimient Peruans sin Agua in 2005．The idea was t deply the methd he learned in his hmetwn n a larger, better-adapted scale, which wuld prvide free, independently surced and easily accessible water t thse wh needed it mst. He began installing（安装） a traditinal fg catcher mdel develped in the 1980s. The nnprfit prvided the materials fr free, and the cmmunity built the infrastructure（基础设施）themselves.
At the highest pint f Ls Tres Miradres, there is a curius set f large structures that is like a fleet f ships in the sky. They are s-called “fg catchers”. The 40 fg catchers there prvide enugh water fr 180 families, whether t bathe, clean, drink （after being filtered at hme） r t irrigate crps n small garden patches.
Supprters believe that fg catchers have the ptential t imprve water supply fr cmmunities arund the wrld amid ever-challenging cnditins. German researcher Lummerich says, “They are cheap, easy t cnstruct. In a wrld searching fr water supply systems, it is ne imprtant apprach that can make an essential difference lcally. It culd make the difference between having water and nt having water available.” There are sme issues, hwever. Fr ne, fg catchers require space, which is nt always easy t cme by in cities. At the same time, fg catchers must be prperly cleaned and maintained t stay effective. Mst crucially, apprpriate climate cnditins are required. Fg isn’t everywhere.
24．Why did Cruz set up EI Mvimient Peruans sin Agua in 2005?
A．T raise mney fr the prest residents.B．T cnstruct the infrastructure fr the city.
C．T build a canal system fr his hmetwn.D．T ffer water t peple wh need it badly.
25．What des the underlined wrd “deply” in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A．Emply.B．Abandn.C．Design.D．Explre.
26．What is the prblem with fg catchers in urban areas?
A．High expenses.B．Public ppsitin.C．Technical faults.D．Space limitatin.
27．Which f the fllwing wuld be a suitable title fr the text?
A．A practical applicatin f fg catchers in citiesB．The develpment f a climate rganizatin
C．A creative methd f imprving water supplyD．The imprtance f infrastructure cnstructin

Hw ften in yur busy life when faced with an issue r a prblem d yu cnsider subtractin（减法）?
Every day, with big and small challenges, we ignre a basic way t make things better. We are great at adding t ur “t ds”, but we dn’t cnsider “stp-dings”. We cllect new-and-imprved ideas, but dn’t delete the utdated nes.
D yur reslutins mre ften start with “I shuld d mre f…” than with “I shuld d less f…”? D yu add new rules in yur husehld r wrkplace mre ften than yu take rules away? In ur striving t imprve ur lives, ur wrk and ur sciety, we verwhelmingly add.
Leidy Kltz’s Leg bridge test, with tw supprt twers f differing heights, fund that almst everyne added a Leg brick t the shrter twer, rather than remving a brick frm the lnger twer. The valid subtractin slutin prduced a strnger utcme.
Why d we ignre the ptin t subtract frm what is already there? Why d we fail t use subtractin as a way t change things?
Firstly, behaviural science suggests that ur brains are wired t ignre subtractin. Initial studies shw that ur mental shrtcuts have a preference fr adding when slving prblem. We are tricked by ur mindset.
Further, we have a tendency t think additin r subtractin; hwever, they can be cmplementary（互补的） ways t make changes.
S we ignre subtractin because it is ften harder t think f. Mrever, even when we d manage t think f it, subtracting can be harder t perfrm.
In chemistry, valency（化合价） refers t an elemental frce that is nt necessarily visible but helps explain the elements’ behaviur. Psychlgical valency is the inner attractiveness r strng dislike f smething. There is a negative valency arund subtracting. Even the wrd subtractin has a negative valency.
Subtractin is the act f getting t less but it is nt the same as ding less. Getting t less ften means ding, r at least thinking, mre. In yur pursuit f success and happiness I encurage yu t vercme the tendency t ignre subtractin. Subtracting can be delightful!
28．What d peple usually d when faced with prblems in life?
A．Adpt subtractin.B．Stp ding things.
C．Add new rules.D．Abandn utdated ideas.
29．Hw did the authr prve his viewpint?
A．By cmparing examples.B．By cnducing a survey.
C．By analyzing statistics.D．By citing a typical test.
30．What causes peple t ignre the ptin f subtractin?
A．Initial fixed mindset.B．Resistance t change.
C．Flexible mental desire.D．Expectatin fr success.
31．What des the authr intend t d in the last paragraph?
A．State pssible reasns.B．Offer valuable advice.
C．Give sme warnings.D．Prvide useful prf.
D
Underwater travel is difficult and dangerus, but many peple have reasns t stay deep under the cean. Sldiers in submarines travel lng distances underwater. Cmpanies lking fr il and ther resurces stay underwater, t. Humans have cme up with a few designs f vehicles t mve arund under the cean. But what if there was a better way t travel?
Hilary Bart-Smith, an engineer at the University f Virginia, thinks a vehicle that travels like a man ta ray wuld be able t perate fr lng perids at sea as if it were a living rganism. Manta rays, a type f cartilaginus （软骨的） fish, can grw up t 29 feet lng, which are fund thrughut the wrld in trpical, subtrpical, and temperate waters. Manta rays are sme f the mst efficient swimmers in the cean. Different frm animals and peple pushing against water in rder t swim, the man ta ray swims by mving thrugh the water with wing-like mvements f their fins（鳍）. Efficiency means using less energy t mve farther and causing less pllutin.
Bart-Smith and ther engineers at the University f Virginia had t find ut what man ta rays lked like n the inside t better understand hw they mve. They tk x-rays t find ut hw a man ta ray’s fins are built. They fund that a web f cartilage, which is the same kind f material that yur ears and nse are made frm, stretches acrss each fin.
Once the engineers knew hw a man ta ray’s fin was cnstructed, they culd build ne f their wn. They made a lng rw f metal struts with many hinges t imitate the man ta ray’s web f cartilage, acting like yur finger, which can bend as ne lng line, r bend in many places t make a curve. The engineers put their design inside a flexible cver, shaped like a man ta ray’s fin. Then they tested it in the university swimming pl. They were happy t see that it swam just like a man ta ray in the cean.
Engineers and scientists are still learning and experimenting with hw t imitate these amazing animals. Perhaps smeday engineers will be able t build man ta ray rbts that are big enugh t transprt peple. Fr nw, engineers study their mvement and learn frm the mst efficient swimmers in the cean.
32．Why des the authr raise a questin in the first paragraph?
A．T lead t the main tpic.B．T ask fr a crrect answer.
C．T suggest explring the sea.D．T summarize peple’s views.
33．What can we learn abut a man ta ray?
A It can grw at least 29 feet lng.B．It swims with much less energy.
C．It can inhabit all kinds f waters.D．It swims by pushing against water.
34．What can we infer frm the research?
A．The engineers failed t build a man ta ray’s fin.B．Artificial “man ta rays” remain t be imprved.
C．The experiments were carried ut in the cean.D．Vehicles like man ta rays have been put int use.
35．What is the authr’s attitude twards the prject?
A．Unclear.B．Dubtful.C．Negative.D．Optimistic.

And as I grew lder, I remembered thse experiences and what my dad was always telling me, and it just stuck with me, and became part f my subcnscius（潜意识）—that I was a great writer. I always did well in all my classes because I had this cnfidence. I didn’t like all subjects particularly. but I gt gd grades. I was pretty self-assured in my abilities as a student. Then, fast frward t my freshman year f high schl. By this time, I had started t even ut（相等）with the rest f my peers, in terms f intelligence.

Fr Cruz, wh grew up in Peru’s muntainus regin f Cuzc, fg represents a massive pprtunity. As a by, he had t hike fr mre than an hur every day acrss rugh hills t cllect water frm the nearest surce. But ver time, he realized that during the rainy seasn, drps f water wuld gather in the large leaves f banana trees. One day, he and his father built a canal system with the leaves t cllect water. He mved t Lima at the age f 25.
Shcked by the water shrtages and expensive water supply that sme f the city’s prest residents were suffering, Cruz set up EI Mvimient Peruans sin Agua in 2005．The idea was t deply the methd he learned in his hmetwn n a larger, better-adapted scale, which wuld prvide free, independently surced and easily accessible water t thse wh needed it mst. He began installing（安装） a traditinal fg catcher mdel develped in the 1980s. The nnprfit prvided the materials fr free, and the cmmunity built the infrastructure（基础设施）themselves.
At the highest pint f Ls Tres Miradres, there is a curius set f large structures that is like a fleet f ships in the sky. They are s-called “fg catchers”. The 40 fg catchers there prvide enugh water fr 180 families, whether t bathe, clean, drink （after being filtered at hme） r t irrigate crps n small garden patches.
Supprters believe that fg catchers have the ptential t imprve water supply fr cmmunities arund the wrld amid ever-challenging cnditins. German researcher Lummerich says, “They are cheap, easy t cnstruct. In a wrld searching fr water supply systems, it is ne imprtant apprach that can make an essential difference lcally. It culd make the difference between having water and nt having water available.” There are sme issues, hwever. Fr ne, fg catchers require space, which is nt always easy t cme by in cities. At the same time, fg catchers must be prperly cleaned and maintained t stay effective. Mst crucially, apprpriate climate cnditins are required. Fg isn’t everywhere.
24．Why did Cruz set up EI Mvimient Peruans sin Agua in 2005?
A．T raise mney fr the prest residents.B．T cnstruct the infrastructure fr the city.
C．T build a canal system fr his hmetwn.D．T ffer water t peple wh need it badly.
25．What des the underlined wrd “deply” in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A．Emply.B．Abandn.C．Design.D．Explre.
26．What is the prblem with fg catchers in urban areas?
A．High expenses.B．Public ppsitin.C．Technical faults.D．Space limitatin.
27．Which f the fllwing wuld be a suitable title fr the text?
A．A practical applicatin f fg catchers in citiesB．The develpment f a climate rganizatin
C．A creative methd f imprving water supplyD．The imprtance f infrastructure cnstructin

Hw ften in yur busy life when faced with an issue r a prblem d yu cnsider subtractin（减法）?
Every day, with big and small challenges, we ignre a basic way t make things better. We are great at adding t ur “t ds”, but we dn’t cnsider “stp-dings”. We cllect new-and-imprved ideas, but dn’t delete the utdated nes.
D yur reslutins mre ften start with “I shuld d mre f…” than with “I shuld d less f…”? D yu add new rules in yur husehld r wrkplace mre ften than yu take rules away? In ur striving t imprve ur lives, ur wrk and ur sciety, we verwhelmingly add.
Leidy Kltz’s Leg bridge test, with tw supprt twers f differing heights, fund that almst everyne added a Leg brick t the shrter twer, rather than remving a brick frm the lnger twer. The valid subtractin slutin prduced a strnger utcme.
Why d we ignre the ptin t subtract frm what is already there? Why d we fail t use subtractin as a way t change things?
Firstly, behaviural science suggests that ur brains are wired t ignre subtractin. Initial studies shw that ur mental shrtcuts have a preference fr adding when slving prblem. We are tricked by ur mindset.
Further, we have a tendency t think additin r subtractin; hwever, they can be cmplementary（互补的） ways t make changes.
S we ignre subtractin because it is ften harder t think f. Mrever, even when we d manage t think f it, subtracting can be harder t perfrm.
In chemistry, valency（化合价） refers t an elemental frce that is nt necessarily visible but helps explain the elements’ behaviur. Psychlgical valency is the inner attractiveness r strng dislike f smething. There is a negative valency arund subtracting. Even the wrd subtractin has a negative valency.
Subtractin is the act f getting t less but it is nt the same as ding less. Getting t less ften means ding, r at least thinking, mre. In yur pursuit f success and happiness I encurage yu t vercme the tendency t ignre subtractin. Subtracting can be delightful!
28．What d peple usually d when faced with prblems in life?
A．Adpt subtractin.B．Stp ding things.
C．Add new rules.D．Abandn utdated ideas.
29．Hw did the authr prve his viewpint?
A．By cmparing examples.B．By cnducing a survey.
C．By analyzing statistics.D．By citing a typical test.
30．What causes peple t ignre the ptin f subtractin?
A．Initial fixed mindset.B．Resistance t change.
C．Flexible mental desire.D．Expectatin fr success.
31．What des the authr intend t d in the last paragraph?
A．State pssible reasns.B．Offer valuable advice.

Underwater travel is difficult and dangerus, but many peple have reasns t stay deep under the cean. Sldiers in submarines travel lng distances underwater. Cmpanies lking fr il and ther resurces stay underwater, t. Humans have cme up with a few designs f vehicles t mve arund under the cean. But what if there was a better way t travel?
Hilary Bart-Smith, an engineer at the University f Virginia, thinks a vehicle that travels like a man ta ray wuld be able t perate fr lng perids at sea as if it were a living rganism. Manta rays, a type f cartilaginus （软骨的） fish, can grw up t 29 feet lng, which are fund thrughut the wrld in trpical, subtrpical, and temperate waters. Manta rays are sme f the mst efficient swimmers in the cean. Different frm animals and peple pushing against water in rder t swim, the man ta ray swims by mving thrugh the water with wing-like mvements f their fins（鳍）. Efficiency means using less energy t mve farther and causing less pllutin.
Bart-Smith and ther engineers at the University f Virginia had t find ut what man ta rays lked like n the inside t better understand hw they mve. They tk x-rays t find ut hw a man ta ray’s fins are built. They fund that a web f cartilage, which is the same kind f material that yur ears and nse are made frm, stretches acrss each fin.
Once the engineers knew hw a man ta ray’s fin was cnstructed, they culd build ne f their wn. They made a lng rw f metal struts with many hinges t imitate the man ta ray’s web f cartilage, acting like yur finger, which can bend as ne lng line, r bend in many places t make a curve. The engineers put their design inside a flexible cver, shaped like a man ta ray’s fin. Then they tested it in the university swimming pl. They were happy t see that it swam just like a man ta ray in the cean.
Engineers and scientists are still learning and experimenting with hw t imitate these amazing animals. Perhaps smeday engineers will be able t build man ta ray rbts that are big enugh t transprt peple. Fr nw, engineers study their mvement and learn frm the mst efficient swimmers in the cean.
32．Why des the authr raise a questin in the first paragraph?
A．T lead t the main tpic.B．T ask fr a crrect answer.
C．T suggest explring the sea.D．T summarize peple’s views.
33．What can we learn abut a man ta ray?
A It can grw at least 29 feet lng.B．It swims with much less energy.
C．It can inhabit all kinds f waters.D．It swims by pushing against water.
34．What can we infer frm the research?
A．The engineers failed t build a man ta ray’s fin.B．Artificial “man ta rays” remain t be imprved.
C．The experiments were carried ut in the cean.D．Vehicles like man ta rays have been put int use.
35．What is the authr’s attitude twards the prject?
A．Unclear.B．Dubtful.C．Negative.D．Optimistic.

My writing career started when I was in elementary schl, where there were varius writing cntests thrughut the years.

Then I’d cme hme, shw my parents and my dad wuld say, “Yu did such a great jb, hney! Ww, yu must be a great writer!” I was prbably a better writer in 5th grade than my average cunterparts（同等的人） at the time. I even went t the special advanced classes fr the “gifted” kids fr a few years.
And as I grew lder, I remembered thse experiences and what my dad was always telling me, and it just stuck with me, and became part f my subcnscius（潜意识）—that I was a great writer. I always did well in all my classes because I had this cnfidence. I didn’t like all subjects particularly. but I gt gd grades. I was pretty self-assured in my abilities as a student. Then, fast frward t my freshman year f high schl. By this time, I had started t even ut（相等）with the rest f my peers, in terms f intelligence.
