A butterfly-shaped island in the central Aegean hpes t becme Greece's -first-carbn-free turist destinatin. Under a deal with the gvernment, Vlkswagen, a carmaker, has dnatcd several new electric vehicles fr use by Astypalea's public services; it will sell thers at cs t price t its 1,200 year-rund residents.In return, the gvernment has ffered mre financial assistance fr islanders t buy electric cars and will build a slar and wind-fuelled pwer plant t replace plluting generatrs.
Unlike ther nearby islands, Astypale a is nt cnnected t Greece's electricity prviders. With nly 3,000rms fr visitrs in small htels r flats, turism is still lw-key. Many residents make a living the ld-fashined way: raising gats, keeping bees and fishing. The island was selected fr Vlkswagen's experiment after Niks Kmineas, the g-ahead mayr, cntacted the transprt ministry fr help in finding an electric bus t try ut n its rugh rads.
Mst islanders sund keen n the prject. Mr Kmineas expects the number f private cars n Astypalea t fall by a third ver the next five years. Its residents, he says, will get arund n electric minibuses, which will be free, linked t a mbile-phne app and available rund the clck.
Sme bservers smell green washing in the prject, Abi d fr a slar park that wuld generate half the island's electricity within three years will nt get under way befre the turist seasn ends. A single wind-fuelled engine will be set up nly in 2026, assuming the licensing prcess ges smthly. That is nt nrmally the case in the Aegean, where islanders wrry that turists will g else where if the view is spiled by an engine 200 meters high. And even then, the slar and wind-fulled pwer unit is planned t cver nly abut80% f summer demand. But it is a start.
24. Why has the deal been signed?
A. T cntrl car prices.B. T help generate electricity.
C. T prmte public transprt.D. T build a zer-carbn island.
25. What makes Astypale a different frm ther nearby islands?

C. It is a crwded turist destinatin.D. It has varius gats, bees and fishes.
26. What can be inferred frm the text?
A. The experiment will cme t nthing.
B. There are barriers in cnducting the prject.
C. Green turism will becme a trend in Greece.
D. The islanders are unwilling t change their lifestyle.

There are sme 7,000 languages spken wrldwide, each unique, using different sunds, vcabularies and structures. Charles the Great said:“T have a secnd language is t have a secnd sul.”This begs the questin:Des the language we speak shape wh we are? As it turns ut, yes.
In scieties such as the United States r Western Eurpe, self-expressin and language exactness are valued. Asian cultures, n the ther hand, prefer an indirect frm f cmmunicatin. Wrds like“perhaps”and“maybe” are used mre than “yes” r“n”. Americanism takes an infrmal apprach t cmmunicatin.Therefpe, it's OK t refer t a stranger r the bss as“yu”. Hwever, the Thai language has 12 frms f the same prnun, chsing ne depends n status(身份). In this way, languages are essential in leading any culture, be that ur wn r therwise.
Peple wh speak different languages ntice different things, depending n the cnstructs f their mther tngue. Take an accident. In English, it's OK t say:“She brke the glass.”But in a language like Spanish,yu'd prbably g with:“The, glass, brke.” The same incident prduces tw different respnses. English speakers will remember wh’s at fault, because their language asks them t, while Spanish speakers are mre likely t remember it was an accident. This has real cnsequences, especially when it cmes t crime and punishment.
Prfessr Jim Cummins has written extensively n mther tngues. Fr Cumminds, the strnger ur hme language, the easier it is fr us t learn thers. Of curse, research als shws that being bilingual(双语的)gives peple many advantages in life. Linguist Julien Leyre writes that learning anther language develps ur ability t“understand the men tal wrld f anther persn, based n the language they use, and hw that wrld is different frm ur wn.”
Our mther tngue is central t hw we think, what we knw and wh we are. Like us, languages are living things that change ver time and must be cared fr t survive. By ding s, we prtect nt just the linguistic structures r vcabularies we use, but the culture, knwledge and pwer behind them.
28. Why des the authr mentin“Americanism”and“the Thai language” in Paragraph 2?
A. T tell the cultural differences between them.
B. T indicate a language is a guide t a culture.
C. T stress American expressins are infrmal.
D. T reveal a language is assciated with status.
29. Hw will English speakers react t an accident?
A. They will seek blame. B. They will punish thers.
C. They will avid respnsibility. D. They will draw a lessn frm it.
30. What des Julien Leyre think abut bilinguals?
A. They enjy a mre clrful life. B. They can remain mentally healthy.
C. They find it easier t lear n a language. D. They can gain insight int thers' minds.
31. Which ne can be the best title fr the text?
A. Hw d languages differ? B. Will yur language be extinct?
C. Why des ur mther tngue matter? D. Shuld we speak a secnd language?

Lk arund n yur next plan e trip. The iPad is the new pacifier(安抚奶嘴) fr babies. Schl-aged children read stries n smartphnes. Their parents read n Kindles r skim a lng list f email and news feeds.An invisible, game-changing transfrmatin links everyne in this picture: the neurnal circuit(神经元回路)that underlies(成为,的基础), the brain's ability t read is rapidly changing. Our imprtant “deep reading prcesses may be under theat as we mve further int the new digital-based ways f reading.
We knw frm research that the reading circuit is nt given t human beings like it is with visin r language; it needs an envirnment t develp. Further, it will adap t t that envirnment's requirements. If the envirnment advantages the reading prcesses that are fast, and well-suited fr large amunts f infrmatin.like the current digital-based reading, s will the reading circuit. As a result, less attentin and time will be given t slwer, time-demanding deep reading prcesses.
Increasing reprt s frm educatrs and researchers in psychlgy and the humaniti es prve this. English literature schlar and teacher Mark Edmundsn describes hw many cllege students actively avid the classic literature f the 19th and 20th centuries because they n lnger have the patience t read lnger, denser, mre difficult texts. We shuld be cncerned with what may underlie students’“cgnitive impatience”: the ptential inability f large numbers f students t read with a level f critical analysis enugh t cmprehend(理解) the cmplexity f thught and argument fund in mre demanding texts.
Ziming Liu frm San Jse State University has cnducted a series f studies which indicate that the“new nrm", in reading is skimming. Many readers nw use an F r Z pa ttern when reading in which they sample the first line and then wrd-spt thrugh the rest f the text. When the reading brain skims like this, it desn't have time t grasp cmplexity, t understand thers'feelings, t be aware f beauty, and t create thughts f the reader's wn.
Karin Littau and Andrew Piper have nted anther aspect: pnysicality. They stress that the sense f tuch in print reading adds an imprtant part t infrmatin, t wrds, and a kind f spatial“thereness”fr text. AsPiper ntes, human beings need a knwledge f where they are in time and space that allws them t return t things and learn frm re-examinatin—what he calls the“recurrence(再现)”. The imprtance f recurrence fr bth yung and lder readers invlves the ability t g back, t check and evaluate ne's understanding f a text. The questin, then, is what happens t cmprehensin when ur yuth skim n a screen whse lack f spa tial thereness discurages“lking back”.
32. What is Paragraph2m ainly abut?
A. What affects peple's reading prcess.
B. Why deep reading is imprtant t peple.
C. Why peple nw prefer digital reading.
D. What will happen t ur brain when we read.
33. What des the authr want t stress abut the cllege students?
A. Their lack f attentiveness.B. Their lack f reading techniques.
C. Their inability t understand the cmplexity.D. Their ignrance f varius frms f literature.
34. What can we knw abut the F r Z pattern accrding t Paragraph 4?
A. It affects the way peple skim.B. It encurages peple t read mre.
C. It becmes ppular amng the yuth.D. It limits peple's thinking develpment.
35. What can we learn frm the last paragraph?
A. Reading physical bks helps us cmprehend a text better.
B. Techniques shuld be suited fr different reading materials.
C. A reading space can help us be mre attentive.
D. It is imprtant t use all senses t learn.

36 We have this experience nt nly when we make mistakes but als when we perfrm well .

It was a lazy Sunday mrning, the type f day that getting ut f bed requires an effrt. When Marilyn andI entered the kitchen, Lri was already at the table ding her hmewrk. Seeing us cming, she, suddenly, std and faced me,“Why are there mre pictures f Lisa than there are f me?” she asked. Lisa is ur lder daughter.
I stared back. nt understanding the questin. Lri turned and left the rm. Caught ff-guard by the questin, I lked at Marilyn.“Are there mre pictures f Lisa than f Lri?”Marilyn shrugged and raised her eyebrws in a mtin f puzzlement.“Are yu aware that there are mre pictures f Lisa than Lri?”I added.
Marilyn said,“I've never cunted them. I dn't knw.”
Marilyn's answer was the same as my thughts,“I hadn't realized that there was any significant difference.Nw why wuld Lri ask such a questin?” I asked.
Marilyn just shk her head and stared back at me. After a few minutes f thught she said, “When Lisa was brn, yu were taking phtgraphs. Yu hardly went anywhere withut a camera. When Lri was brn,yu were invlved in clred slides(幻灯片). There must be hundreds f slides f Lri smewhere in the huse that Lri has never seen r desn't remember.”
After digesting Marilyn's remarks, I agreed.“After Lri leaves, we'll lk fr thse slides. Wh knws,we may find mre slides f Lri than pictures f Lisa,”I jked.
Later that afternn, when we were alne, we went int the basement where we had stred the bxes that we had brught frm ur previus hme. It wasn't lng befre we discvered the trays f slides, and fr the rest f the afternn we lked at each tray, pinting ut thse slides that highlighted Lri.
“What are yu ging t d?”Marilyn asked.
“It's her birthday in a few weeks,”I said,“We'll select abut ne hundred slides with Lri and cnvert them int pictures, put them int an album and give t her as a gift . I dn't knw if the album will answer her questin, but at least she'll knw that we care enugh t find her an answer.”
