            • 1. Getting electricity has always been a problem for the 173people living in Nuevo Saposoa,a small village in Peru,South America.However,things went from bad to worse in March 2015after heavy rains damaged the only power cables in the area.The villagers were forced to use oil lamps,which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.
              Luckily,researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima,Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution.They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil,both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies.The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.
              While that may sound amazing and even impossible,the science behind the ides is quite simple.As plants create their food (using the sun's energy,water and chemicals from the soil),they also produce waste which they return to the soil.Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons-the building blocks of electrical energy.The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamp's batteries for later use.The researchers say a single charge can power a 50-watt Led light for two hours-enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.
              The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015.So far,they have been a huge success!Elmer Ramirez,the UT professor who invented the lamp,believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people,especially small rainforest communities,42% of whom have no electricity.

              C.They are difficult to repair and produce little light

            • 2. "In this life,what did you miss?"
              The wife asked the husband when she was 25.Despondently (沮丧地),the husband replied,"I missed a new job chance."
              When she was 35,the husband angrily told her that he had just missed the bus.
              At the age of 45,the husband sadly said,"I missed the chance seeing my close relative before his last breath."

            • 3. On May 23,Shenzhen introduced tough new rules in order to discourage the"Chinese style of crossing the road".Chinese people"cross roads without thinking about traffic lights,so long as they are part of a crowd",said a post on Sina Weibo.A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour,more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang,Hebei.
              Many people say that they jaywalk(乱穿马路) became the red light lasts too long,Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University.The team did research on people's waiting times at different road crossings for three years.They found that Chinese people would wait for 70to 90 seconds before they lost their patience."people are likely to ignore(忽视) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear."said Ni Ying,a member of the research team.
              However,a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that people jaywalk mainly became they disregard(忽视) rules."I always obey traffic rules.Time is important but safety should come first,"someone wrote on his Weibo.Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers.In Singapore,the maximum can be three months in prison.Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions,too.For example,the first three months in jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang.But calling on people to respect rules is more important.To completely solve the problem,everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules.

              61.Which of the following is the"Chinese style of crossing in the road"?    
              A.To wait for the traffic light to turn green
              B.To cross a road carefully

              62.What does the phrase"The team"in paragraph 2 refer to?    
              A.A CCTV news program           
              B.Aresearch group at Tongji University
              C.A post on Sina Weibo
              63.How long will Chinese people wait for to cross the road before they lose patience?    
              A.Lets than one minute      
              B.About five minutes
              C.Less than one and a half minutes
              64.Why do you people jaywalk according to the survey on Sina Weibo?    
              A.Because people don't pay much attention to rules
              B.Because the red light lasts too long
              C.Because there are too many people on the road
              65.What does the writer advise us to solve the program of jaywalking?    
              A.Punish the jaywalkers              
              B.Disregard the traffic rules

            • 5. In summer,it's common on the street to see many Chinese women holding parasols1 to protect themselves from the sun.But when Amy,an exchange student in Beijing from the US,first saw this,she found it strange,even impossible to understand.She wrote on her blog,"Unlike Chinese women,American women like to put on their tank tops and sunglassed during summer.If you walk around an American college campus2,you will probably see girls out on the grassy fields reading,but they really hope to get a head start on their summer tan3."
              This may be caused by the different standards of beauty between the US and China.Many Americans don't want white skin.They would rather be tanned.Amy also wrote,"Having darker skin is so popular that many women and men will pay for fake4 tans so that they can keep their sun-kissed appearance during the winter months,too."
              Why do they like tanned skin?Michelle Louis reported in her research,"The process of tanning can help make people's skin smooth and hide marks."She further explained,"Tans make people's skin appear healthier and make them appear thinner than when they have pale skin."
              Perhaps there is no real ideal standard of beauty.In different cultures and at different times of history,the standards change.On Amy's blog,she also gave two examples.Some women carried parasols around trying to keep their white skin in the US 150 years ago.During the Tang Dynasty in China,heavy women were thought attractive.But now,Chinese women prefer to be slim.
              In a word,different standards of beauty should be respected.People may grow up with only one idea of what beauty is,but it doesn't mean that it's necessarily the correct or the best idea.
              New words:
              1.parasol n.umbrella used to protect people from the sun 阳伞
              2.campus n.grounds of a school,college or university 校园
              3.tan n.the brown colour of sun-kissed skin 晒成的棕褐色
              v.become brown by the sun晒成棕褐色,晒黑
              4.fake adj.not real 假的

              29.What did Michelle Louis report in her research?    
              A.Many Chinese prefer white skin to tanned skin.
              B.Darker skin is popular among American women and men.
              C.Tans make people's skin appear healthier and make them look thinner.
              D.Some women would like to keep their skin white in the US 150 years ago.
              30.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?    
              A.People in the US like to have tanned skin only in hot summer.
              B.American college girls read non the grass because they want to be tanned
              C.Many Chinese women carry parasols to protect themselves from the sun
              D.Amy thought trying to keep white skin with parasols seemed strange at first
              31.The writer really wants to tell us    
              A.we should respect different standards of beauty
              B.the standards of beauty change at different times
              C.different countries have different standards of beauty
              D.it's commen for people to have only one idea of beauty.
