It requires membership status.BI must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books. There was n

17、ot one night that I dont remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was deeply touched by the wonderful way the words sounded. I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I cant believe whats printed in the newspaper this morning,” made me want to grab it out of her

18、hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading. This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It see

19、med an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself

20、 telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed. Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make As on my tests. Sometimes, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didnt enjoy this type

21、 of reading because I thought anything abstract (抽象的) left too much room for argument. Now that Im growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter a wonderful and mysteri

22、ous world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I dont have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax. Were taught to read because its necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is an impo

23、rtant part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire (渴望) to keep learning. And Ive found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless.24.Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of moms hands？A. She wanted mom to read the news to her.B.

The Pleasure of Reading B. Growing Up

26、with ReadingC. The Magic of Reading D. Reading Makes a Full ManCA new concept vehicle, Pod was introduced by Toyota and Sony at the Tokyo motor show. The car is intended as a four-wheeled friend. It aims to provide affection, sympathy and encouragement. Like a dog welcoming its master, the car sits

27、up, wags its tail and recognizes its owners presence using hydraulics (液壓裝置) and a multi-coloured LED display panel (引擎) across the front. While on the road, the car constantly monitors the drivers mood with pulse and sweat (汗) sensors on the joystick (操縱桿). Cameras fixed on the eyes keep watch for

28、any sigh of drowsiness. If a driver appears to be losing his or her cool, Pod will display warnings, play soft music and blow cold air at the face. Drivers are shaken awake with loud music and a shaking chair.To improve driving skills, Pod uses a comparison to score drivers, offer advice and rank al

29、l Pod owners. Toyota states that the car will eventually be able to learn its owners likes and dislikes by monitoring passenger conversations. If the car hears a favorite song being discussed, it will download the track from the Internet and play it without being asked. It will also recommend (推薦) r

30、estaurants that might suit the drivers taste and take photographs of passengers when they sound particularly happy.In keeping with the moodiness that is the cars main selling point, Pod expresses a form of road anger. If a driver brakes or swerves (急轉(zhuǎn)彎) suddenly, the LED panel shows an angry red and

31、 the tail rises at the back.Anger is one of the cars ten “emotional states”. Another is sadnessa blue front with tear-shaped lights seemingly dropping from headlightswhich appears after a flat tyre or when gas is low.“We wanted to show that the cars can be cheerful and entertaining,” said Yasunori S

32、akamoto, part of the Toyota design team. Mr Sakamoto said Toyota has no plans to put Pod on the market. Sad, really.28. The underlined word “drowsiness” in Paragraph 2 means _.A. fear B. boredom C. excitement D. sleepiness29. According to the text, Pod can _.A. rank the restaurant nearby B. recommen

33、d a song to passengerC. have a conversation with drivers D. test the drivers driving skills30.

34、 music31. What is the authors attitude towards Pod?A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Negative. D. Curious.DThe Canadian government announced a plan to ban single-use plastics as early as 2022. As someone who performs research on plastic pollution, I see this as a positive step forward. However, I wonde

35、r whether it will go far enough. Some people may feel that this announcement is simply a “feel-good measure” and a distraction from bigger problems such as the climate disaster. The truth of the matter is that plastic pollution and the climate disaster are signs of the same disease. As much as 8% of

36、 global oil goes directly to plastic productiona figure that doesnt include the transportation of single-use plastics to global markets, the energy used to transport plastics to landfills and the energy used to sort or recycle things. In the past years, some bans have actually resulted in an increas

37、e in other forms of waste. For example, paper bags may be seen as a sustainable (可持續(xù)的) choice since, unlike plastics, paper breaks down in the environment. However, a paper bag has a carbon footprint three times that of a plastic bag and is still “single-use” just as much as a plastic bag is.Adoptin

38、g (采用) a science-based method, which the government has promised, will ensure the ways of using single-use plastics are more sustainable. Im, however, concerned about the announcement because “as early as 2022” is very different from “by 2022”, which has a strict timeline. If were truly going to car

39、ry out an effective ban on single-use plastics, our government will need to spend a large amount of money on innovation (改革) and research into sustainable materials and our waste treatment system to prevent plastics from going into our oceans or landfills. So the question remains: is this announceme

40、nt simply smoke and mirrors, to hide a lack of determined action on both plastic waste and the climate disaster, or is this a real effort that will be carried out to stop the production of single-use plastics? We will have to wait and see.32. How does the author feel about Canadas new plan? A. She i

41、s more excited than worried. B. She never believes in Canada. C. She considers it a great success. D. She has mixed feelings about it.33. The purpose of Paragraph 3 is to_. A. stress paper bags are sustainable materials B. explain paper bags are greener than plastics C. prove some measures are unsat

42、isfactory D. show paper bags are no different from plastics 34.Which aspect of the announcement makes the author concerned? A. Its coming a little too late. B. Its lacking scientific support. C. Its having no strict timeline. D. Its appearing far from practical.35. What is mainly talked about in the

43、 text? A. Canadas efforts to reduce the use of plastics. B. The authors views on Canadas single-use plastic ban. C. Reasons for the authors criticism of Canadas new plan. D. Similarities between plastic pollution and the climate disaster.第二節(jié) (共5小題；每小題1.5分，滿分7.5分) 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文中的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為
