17、 Michigan and shot to Chittles home. Was it because of a fire or a child climbing too high to a dangerous place? Rather, it was for helping make a dream come true. Outdoor activities and a slow pace of life are a mainstay in this rural town. When people were unable to leave the community, Scott Chit
18、tle decided they needed a safe place to come together and something joyful during the winter months. And what is a better outdoor activity to get people outside than ice skating?To fulfil his dream, Chittle downloaded instructions on how to build an ice rink and then ordered a 3, 000 square foot wat
19、erproof cloth and some wood to create walls online. It took 12 fire trucks to get enough water to fill the plot. It took a little time and some neighborly persuasion as Chittle went door to door to convince people to come to see his creation, and soon Chittles backyard ice rink became a Manton hot s
20、pot. Children were skating and shooting, a fire was burning, and hot chocolate was steaming in to-go cups. “When things were tough, it was a place, ” says Chittles neighbor Audrey Hooker. “It was fantastic because we just came together and became calm and happy instead of concerned. But the goodwill
21、 didnt stop with Chittle. When the community heard how much money he used to make this project happen, everyone stepped forward. A fundraiser brought in about $1, 300, and letters flooded to Chittles home stuffed with cash. “Almost 30 complete strangers knocked on my door to just shake my hand and s
22、ay thank you, most of them handing me money as well and three asking for a hug,” says Chittle. “This has been a community thing. Its more than me. I want to show the rest of the world what a little effort and the best intentions can do.”24. Why did fire trucks come to Manton?A. To deal with an emerg
23、ency. B. To send water to the community. C. To ensure peoples safety in the town. D. To help with Chittle building the ice rink. 25. What did Chittle do to carry out his project?A. Persuade his neighbors to make donations. B. Purchase a piece of land behind his house. C. Turn to the Internet for tip
24、s and materials. D. Research the popular lifestyles in Manton. 26. How did the ice rink affect the community?A. It made the community popular in Mantan. B. It slowed down the pace of the residents life. C. It offered people there comfort and company. D. It inspired the residents to do outdoor activi
25、ties. 27. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. Everyone could make a difference to society. B. Chittle received acts of kindness from others. C. The community got better due to the ice rink. D. Chittle had goodwill to the whole community. CA vast majority of people usually
26、 argue that cycling can make a significant contribution to our world. In reality, there is a gap between desired and actual numbers. In Germany, for instance, only 20% of the everyday short-distance trips are covered by bicycle. When enquiring about the causes, researchers found one point repeatedly
27、 tops the list: the perceived or potential risk on the bike routes used. Increasing the share of cycling trips thus depends crucially on well-developed bike paths. However, designing efficient bike path networks is a complex task that involves balancing a variety of limitations while meeting overall
28、 demand. In addition, many districts are confronted with a shortage of funds available for improving the infrastructure. Researchers propose a new approach to generating efficient bike path networks. This considers demand distribution and the route option of cyclists based on preferences for secure
29、outings. Typically, minimizing the travel distance is far from the solely goal. Aspects such as attractiveness of a route are also taken into account. Under real conditions, a bike path network is created by constantly adding bike paths to more streets. This time, researchers start with an ideal, co
30、mplex network, in which all streets in a city are equipped with a bike path. In a virtual process, they gradually remove less used bike path sections from this network. The route selection of cyclists is continuously updated. Thus, a series of bike path networks is created and is always adapted to t
31、he current usage. Each stage of it corresponds to a variant that could be carried out with less financial support. We illustrate the applicability of this demand-driven planning for crowded urban areas of Dresden and Hamburg,” explains researcher Christoph Steinacker. “We are approaching a real-life
32、 issue here using the theoretic toolbox of network dynamics and compare efficient bike path networks under different conditions.”28. Why do people rarely cycle?A. They think of cycling as inefficient. B. They usually take long-distance trips. C. Theyre concerned about the security. D. Theyre unable
33、to find special bike roads. 29. What is a challenge for good bike path networks?A. Tight budgets. B. Complex routes. C. Maximized travel distance. D. Decreasing cycling demand. 30. What can be learned about the planning put forward by researchers?A. It will be updated once in a while. B. It is contr
34、ary to the real-life design. C. It ensures every street has a bike path. D. It serves as a model for other districts. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Good Planning Gets the Bike RollingB. A good Network Benefits More PeopleC. Cycling Paths Change Crowded Urban AreasD. A
35、New Concept Contributes to a Better WorldDResearchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst （UMass Amherst） recently announced that they have figured out how to engineer a biofilm （生物膜） that harvests the energy in evaporation （蒸 发） and changes it to electricity. This biofilm, which was announce
36、d in Nature Communications, has the potential to revolutionize the world of wearable electronics, powering everything from personal medical sensors to personal electronics. “This is a very exciting technology, says Liu Xiaomeng, a graduate student in electrical and computer engineering in UMass Amhe
37、rsts College of Engineering and the papers lead author. It generates real green energy, and unlike other so-called green-energy sources, its production is totally green. That is because this biofilm which is a sheet of bacterial cells and as thin as a sheet of paper is produced naturally by an engin
38、eered version of the bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens. G sulfurreducens is known to produce electricity and has been used previously in “microbial batteries” to power electrical equipment. But such batteries require that G sulfurreducens be properly cared for and fed a constant diet. By contrast,
39、this new biofilm, which can supply as much energy as a comparably sized battery, works continuously, because it is dead. And because it is dead, it doesnt need to be fed. The secret behind this new biofilm is that it makes energy from the moisture （水分） on your skin. While we daily read stories about
40、 solar power, at least 50% of the solar energy reaching the earth goes toward evaporating water. “This is a huge, undiscovered source of energy,” says Yao Jun, professor of electrical and computer engineering at UMass Amherst, and the papers one senior author. Since the surface of our skin is consta
41、ntly moist with sweat, the biofilm can “plug into” it and change the energy locked in evaporation into sufficient energy to power small equipment. “Our next step is to increase the size of our film to power more intelligent wearable electronics,” says Yao, and Liu points out that one of the goals is
42、 to power entire electronic systems, rather than single equipment. 32. Which of the following can biofilm do according to the first paragraph?A. Update wearable electronics. B. Get power from evaporation. C. Supply energy to microbial batteries. D. Transform the way of generating electricity. 33. Wh
43、at is the advantage of the biofilm compared with “microbial batteries”?A. It is comparatively thinner. B. It is environmentally friendly. C. It adopts a rare energy source. D. It decreases the cost in usage. 34. How does the biofilm power small devices?A. By interacting with solar power. B. By makin
44、g electricity out of sweat. C. By gaining energy from electronic system. D. By employing water to generate electricity. 35. Which of the following best describes the biofilm?A. Intelligent. B. Flexible. C. Delicate. D. Promising. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分）读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
45、Whether it is the flu or any of the other cold-like viruses rising in winter, it seems that stuffy noses and sore throats are common symptoms. You may have noticed, however, that your cold seems to get better or worse depending on the time of day. _36_Then, they partially clear up throughout the day
46、, only to get worse once more as you get to bed. Why does this happen?Currently, the leading idea is that symptom severity is linked to our circadian rhythm （昼夜节 律）. The circadian rhythm is very important for daily cellular processes and can be affected by the amount of sleep and light we get each d
47、ay. _37_While resting, the body uses the downtime to recover. _38_This also applies when you are ill the body floods the blood with white blood cells called leukocytes, resulting in an immune response against diseases and the immune system fighting infection. This, therefore, explains why our cold s
48、ymptoms get worse as we settle down for a nights sleep. Cells infected by viruses are attracted to the local area and killed, causing soreness in the affected tissues, and mucus （鼻 涕） floods the nose to join the fight. _39_ You wake up feeling like death due to the battle happening within. _40_The first is simply gravity. When you lie down, your mucus
