B
There is a famous story about British poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. He was writing a poem when he was interrupted by a knock at the door.
This was an age before telephones. Someone was delivering a message. When Coleridge got back to his poem, he had lost his inspiration. His poetic mood had been broken by the knock on his door. His unfinished poem, which could otherwise have been a masterpiece, would now never be more than a little piece.
This story tells how unexpected communication can destroy an important thought, which brings us to the cell phone.
The most common complaint about cell phones is that people talk on them to the annoyance of people around them. But more damaging may be the cell phone’s interruption of our thoughts.
We have already entered a golden age of little white lies about our cell phones, and this is by and large (大体上) a healthy, protective development. “I didn’t hear it ring” or “I didn’t realize my phone had shut off” are among the lies we tell to give ourselves space where we’re beyond reach.
The notion of being unreachable is not a new concept—we have “Do Not Disturb” sign on the doors of hotel rooms. So why must we feel guilty when it comes to cell phones Why must we apologize if we decide to shut off the phone for a while
Now time alone, or a conversation with someone next to us which cannot be interrupted by a phone, is something to be cherished. Even cell phone devotees（信徒）, myself usually included, can’t help at times wanting to throw their phones away, or curse(咒骂) the day they were invented.
But we don’t and won’t, and there really is no need. All that’s required to take back our private time is a general social recognition that we have the right to it. In other words, we have to develop a healthy contempt (轻视)for the rings of our own phones.
A cell phone call deserves no greater priority than a random word from the person next to us，though the call on my cell phone may be the one-in-a-million from Steven Spielberg—who has finally read my novel and wants to make it his next movie. But most likely it is not, and I’m better off thinking about the idea I just had for a new story, or the slice of pizza I’ll eat for lunch.
4. What is the point of the anecdote about the poet Coleridge in the first three paragraphs
A. To emphasize the disadvantage of not having a cell phone.
B. To encourage readers to read the works of this poet.
C. To show how important inspiration is to a poet.
D. To direct readers’ attention to the main topic.
5. What does the writer think about people telling “white lies” about their cell phones
A. It is a way of signaling that you don’t like the caller.
B. It is basically a good way to protect one’s privacy.
C. We should feel guilty when we can’t tell the truth.
D. It is natural to tell lies about small things.
6. According to the author, what is the most annoying problem caused by cell phones
A. Cell phones interrupt people’s private time.
B. With cell phones it is no longer possible to be unreachable.
C. People feel guilty when they are not able to answer their cell phones.
D. People get so obsessed with the cell phone rings that they fail to notice anything else.
7. What does the last paragraph imply
A. Never let cell phones disturb your life too much.
B. A person who calls us from afar deserves more of our attention.
C. Steven Spielberg once called the author to talk about the author’s novel.
D. You should always finish your lunch before you answer a call on the cell phone.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了现代社会里人们越来越受到手机的干扰。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“This story tells how unexpected communication can destroy an important thought，which brings us to the cellphone.”（这个故事告诉我们，意外的交流是如何摧毁一个重要的思想的，而这个也发生在手机上。）可知，前三段关于诗人柯勒律治的轶事是为了把读者的注意力引向主题。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。从第五段的句子“We have already entered a golden age of little white lies about our cellphones, and this is by and large a healthy, protective development.”（我们已经进入了一个关于手机的善意小谎言的黄金时代，总的来说，这是一种健康的、保护性的发展。）可知“善意的谎言”是自我保护隐私的方法。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。从第四段的句子“But more damaging may be the cellphone’s disruption (中断) of our thoughts.”（但更有害的可能是手机干扰了我们的思维）可知手机最大的问题是手机打扰了我们的私人时间。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。从文章的最后一段“A cell phone call deserves no greater priority than a random word from the person next to us，though the call on my cell phone may be the one-in-a-million from Steven Spielberg—who has finally read my novel and wants to make it his next movie.But most likely it is not, and I’m better off thinking about the idea I just had for a new story, or the slice of pizza I’ll eat for lunch.”（虽然我手机上的电话可能是史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格（Steven Spielberg）百万分之一的电话，他终于读了我的小说，并想把它拍成他的下一部电影，但手机并不比我们旁边的人随便说一句话更重要。但很可能不是，我最好还是想想我刚想出的新故事，或者我午餐要吃的那块比萨饼）可以推断出我们不能被手机打扰太多。故选A。
C
Dr. Donald Sadoway at MIT started his own battery company with the hope of changing the world's energy future．It's a dramatic endorsement（支持）for a technology most people think about only when their smartphone goes dark．But Sadoway isn't alone in boasting about energy storage as a missing link to a cleaner, more efficient, and more equitable energy future．
Scientists and engineers have long believed in the promise of batteries to change the world．Advanced batteries are moving out of specialized markets and creeping into the mainstream, signaling a tipping point for forward-looking technologies such as electric cars and rooftop solar propels．
The ubiquitous（无所不在的）battery has already come a long way, of course．For better or worse, batteries make possible our mobile-first．lifestyles, our screen culture, our increasingly globalized world．Still, as impressive as all this is, it may be trivial compared with what comes next．Having already enabled a communications revolution, the battery is now poised to transform just about everything else．
The wireless age is expanding to include not just our phones, tablets, and laptops, but also our cars, homes, and even whole communities．In emerging economies, rural communities are bypassing the wires and wooden poles that spread power．Instead, some in Africa and Asia are seeing their first light bulbs illuminated by the power of sunlight stored in batteries．
Today, energy storage is a $33 billion global industry that generates nearly 100 gigawatt-hours of electricity per year．By the end of the decade, it's expected to be worth over 50 billion dollars and generate 160 gigawatt-hours, enough to attract the attention of major companies that might not otherwise be interested in a decidedly pedestrian technology．Even utility companies, which have long viewed batteries and alternative forms of energy as a threat, are learning to embrace the technologies as enabling rather than disrupting．
Today's battery breakthroughs come as the world looks to expand modern energy access to the billion or so people without it, while also cutting back on fuels that warm the planet．Those simultaneous challenges appear less overwhelming with increasingly better answers to a centuries-old question: how to make power portable．
To be sure, the battery still has a long way to go before the nightly recharge completely replaces the weekly trip to the gas station．A battery-powered world comes with its own risks, too．What happens to the centralized electric grid, which took decades and billions of dollars to build, as more and more people become "prosumers," who produce and consume their own energy on site
No one knows which——if any——battery technology will ultimately dominate, but one thing remains clear．The future of energy is in how we store it．
8. What does Dr. Sadoway think of energy storage
A. It involves the application of sophisticated technology．
B. It is the direction energy development should follow．
C. It will prove to be a profitable business．
D. It is a technology benefiting everyone．
9. What is most likely to happen when advanced batteries become widely used
A. Mobile-first lifestyles will become popular．
B. The globalization process will speed up．
C. Communications will take more diverse forms．
D. The world will undergo revolutionary changes．
10. In some rural communities of emerging economies, people have begun to _______________．
A. find digital devices simply indispensable
B. communicate primarily by mobile phone
C. light their homes with stored solar energy
D. distribute power with wires and wooden poles
11. What does the author imply about the centralized electric grid
A. It might become a thing of the past．
B. It might turn out to be a "prosumer"．
C. It will be easier to operate and maintain．
D. It will have to be completely transformed．
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章对未来能源的使用和储存方式进行了说明。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Dr. Donald Sadoway at MIT started his own battery company with the hope of changing the world's energy future．”（麻省理工学院的Donald Sadoway博士创办了自己的电池公司，希望能改变世界能源的未来。）可知，Sadoway博士认为能量储存是能源发展应该遵循的方向。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Having already enabled a communications revolution, the battery is now poised to transform just about everything else．”（电池已经引发了一场通信革命，现在它正准备改变一切。）可知，当先进的电池被广泛使用时，世界将发生革命性的变化，故选D。
3.细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Instead, some in Africa and Asia are seeing their first light bulbs illuminated by the power of sunlight stored in batteries．”（相反，非洲和亚洲的一些人看到他们的第一个灯泡是用储存在电池里的太阳光照明的。）可知，在一些新兴经济体的农村社区，人们已经开始用储存的太阳能为他们的家照明。故选C。
4.推理判断题。根据倒第二段最后一句What happens to the centralized electric grid, which took decades and billions of dollars to build, as more and more people become "prosumers," who produce and consume their own energy on site （随着越来越多的人成为“生产者”，即在现场生产和消费自己的能源，花了几十年和数十亿美元建造的集中式电网会发生什么 ）可知，人们慢慢地就不需要集中式电网了。集中式电网会成为过去。故选A。
D
This November, I encourage the people of Arkansas to vote NO on a referendum（公投） to abolish the state’s motorcycle helmet law. The state’s current helmet law saves hundreds of lives per year, and it is senseless that people should be injured or killed merely because they are too vain to wear a helmet. Furthermore, helmet laws help to reduce public expenses on health care and have even been shown to prevent motorcycle theft. For these reasons, the citizens of Arkansas must oppose this referendum.
One hardly needs to appeal to statistics to show that helmets protect motorcyclists against injury or death. For those who are skeptical, however, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) calculates that in an accident helmets reduce the likelihood of fatal injury by 29%. If motorcyclists wish to protect themselves against injury and death, they should wear a helmet whenever they ride.
Many opponents of the helmet law agree that helmets save motorcyclists’ lives, but insist that the decision to wear a helmet should be left to the individual rider. Perhaps this argument would be valid if motorcyclists were the only ones negatively affected by their decision, but this is not the case. A 2002 study by the NHTSA concluded that only about half of all injured motorcyclists were properly insured, which means many of these riders likely relied on public funds to subsidize（补贴） their healthcare costs. If the citizens of Arkansas choose to abolish the helmet law, we can expect these costs to rise significantly, and at a time when our state is in a financial crisis.
Helmet laws can also help reduce motorcycle theft. Few thieves think to bring a helmet with them when they steal a motorcycle, which makes them much easier for police to spot. In addition to making it easier to catch motorcycle thieves and recover stolen bikes, evidence shows that helmet laws can stop motorcycle theft from happening in the first place. After Texas passed a statewide helmet law, cities there saw rates of motorcycle theft drop by up to 44%. A drop in the rates of motorcycle theft directly reduces law enforcement expenses related to this crime, which is another benefit to all citizens.
Opponents of the helmet law offer two main arguments. First, the law’s detractors（诽谤者）argue that properly educating riders is the best way to avoid accidents. I agree entirely; all motorcycle riders should be properly educated and should ride their bikes responsibly. Some accidents, however, are unavoidable, and as I have argued, helmets significantly reduce health care expenses associated with all accidents. Second, opponents argue that helmet laws infringe on their personal freedom. Again, I agree that the government should avoid limiting individual choice whenever possible, but as I have shown, the decision to wear a helmet does not affect only the rider, so this issue is not a simple matter of individual liberty. The government must not allow a few individuals to make society bear the burden of their irresponsible choices.
In a perfect world, helmet laws would not be necessary because all riders would wear them voluntarily. However, we do not live in a perfect world. Therefore we must require motorcyclists to make this socially responsible decision.
12. Which of the following would provide the strongest proof for the author’s claims
A. Helmet laws will unavoidably damage riders’ personal freedom.
B. Automobiles are a much more common target for theft than motorcycles.
C. 80% of motorcyclists wear a helmet even when not required to do so by law.
D. Healthcare costs related to motorcycle injuries will largely increase without the helmet law.
13. The main purpose of paragraph 5 is to ______.
A. expose the logical flaws in opponents’ arguments
B. stress that the helmet law violate human rights.
C. prove that the author shares common ground with opponents of the law
D. emphasize the importance of rider education in preventing motorcycle accidents
14. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined “infringe on” in Paragraph 5
A. obtain B. abolish
C. restrict D. release
15. Which could be the best title for the passage
A. Say No to helmet laws.
B. Laws limits people’s freedom.
C. Wearing helmets reduces health care expenses.
D. Vote No on the referendum to abolish helmet laws.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文，论述了作者为什么反对废除摩托车头盔法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。定位文章第一段的“Furthermore, helmet laws help to reduce public expenses on health care and have even been shown to prevent motorcycle theft”（此外，头盔法有助于减少公共保健开支，甚至可以防止摩托车失窃）可知可以为作者的主张提供最有力的证据是D选项Healthcare costs related to motorcycle injuries will largely increase without the helmet law（如果没有头盔法，与摩托车受伤相关的医疗费用将大幅增加），故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段首句“Opponents of the helmet law offer two main arguments”（头盔法的反对者提出了两个主要论点）可知，第五段的主题内容是阐述了反对头盔法者的两个观点，而这两个观点的后面都接上了作者的反驳观点。注意虽然作者也对部分观点表示同意，但这篇文章是议论文，一切都要从论点出发，这里的同意是为了更好地反驳。故选A。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第5段的“Again, I agree that the government should avoid limiting individual choice whenever possible”（我再次同意政府应该尽可能避免限制个人选择）可知，infringe on的意思和limit相近，也就是意为“限制”，即restrict，故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“This November, I encourage the people of Arkansas to vote NO on a referendum（公投） to abolish the state’s motorcycle helmet law”（今年11月，我鼓励阿肯色州人民就废除该州摩托车头盔法的全民公投投反对票）可知，作者支持头盔法，本文主要讲的是对废除头盔法的全民公投投反对票，因此排除AB。C选项仅仅是作者论据的一部分，不全面，因此最好的题目是D项Vote No on the referendum to abolish helmet laws，故选D。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了由于受疫情的影响，美国各地学生的学习成绩有所下降。各学校根据此情况正在做出调整，给学生更少的作业。
【36题详解】
考查时态。句意：美国各学区报告称，自疫情爆发以来，不及格学生的数量比平时高出许多倍。设空处为宾语从句的谓语动词，根据从句的时间状语since the pandemic broke out可知应用现在完成时，the number of修饰名词作主语，谓语用单数形式。故填has risen。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在他的学校，10月底38%的学生不及格，而平时只有8%。句中已有谓语动词were falling，且空处无连词，故应用非谓语形式，compare与逻辑主语38 percent of grades in late October 之间为被动关系，应用过去分词，作状语。故填compared。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：教育工作者认为这种变化有很多原因。设空处是句子的主语，应将educate变为其名词形式，位于句首，首字母大写，根据语境可知，教育者不止一位，因此用复数形式，故填Educators。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：在家学习的学生经常完全错过作业。所给词修饰动词miss，在句子中充当状语，应用其副词形式。故填completely。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意：互联网的可用性有限或没有有效建立，使得完成和上传作业变得困难。分析可知，此处应用形容词作表语，结合句意表示“有限的”应用limited。故填limited。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：互联网的可用性有限或没有有效建立，使得完成和上传作业变得困难。分析句子可知，此处是作句子的状语，表示自然而然的结果，应用现在分词形式。故填making。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：而那些没有亲眼见到学生的老师，就没有多少办法知道谁在落后。这是个定语从句，先行词teacher指人，从句中缺少主语，应用关系代词who/that引导。故填who/that。
【43题详解】
考查比较级。句意：而那些没有亲眼见到学生的老师，就没有多少办法知道谁在落后。原文前面句子说网络问题使得学生完成学业任务有困难，这句又提到在上一句的基础上，有些老师的问题使得学生学习的方式更加少，因此，使用few的比较级。故填fewer。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：不及格的人数在全国各地的各个地区都有所增加。increase in的意思为“在.......方面增长”，为固定搭配，此处指“成绩下降方面数据的增长”，故填in。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：教师们被要求少布置作业，并被敦促寻找不同教学方法。并列连词and用来连接属于同一层次并具有相司句法功能的短语或句子，文中instructed to give less homework 和 urged to find different way of teaching是相同句法功能句，为并列关系，应用并列连词and连接。故填and。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A light knock on the door brought me from my kitchen. Because we had just moved into the neighborhood, I couldn’t imagine who it would be. Opening the door, an old man stood there, who was dressed in dirty clothing and wearing dirty rubber boots. His hand hung a plastic bag.
“Can I help you ” I asked.
“Would you like to buy some fresh garden vegetables ” His blue eyes were hopeful.
“Are they from your garden ” I looked inside his plastic bag and saw some carrots with soil.
“Yes,” his voice was soft. “And I can get some apples from a tree in my yard. Would you like some of those, too ”
My heart softened, and I wondered if he was badly in need of money. With a sigh, I said, “Please step inside and I’ll get my money.”
The next day, he knocked at our door again. This time, my little four-year-old daughter got there first. “Oh, hello. Would you like to come in for some tea ” Without a second thought, the old man stepped inside and held out a broken basket with several apples. “From my tree,” he said, removing a worn cap. “You might like to make a pie.”
The three of us sat at the kitchen table and drank our tea. It was obvious that my daughter liked hosting a visitor in her never-ending questions. “What is your name Where do you live Why are your clothes so dirty ”
The homeless-looking man laughed as he answered each question. His name was Mr. Locket and he lived around the corner. His wife had passed away several years ago, and his children all lived far away. He was lonely. His need for company had sent him door to door selling fruit and vegetables. Ours was the only door opened to him that day.
注意：1. 续写词数应为100左右；
2. 开头已给出。
Paragraph 1:
When he finished the tea, he said he had to go home and promised to return the next day.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Several years later, a small envelope was delivered to our home—a letter from the old man’s daughter.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
When he finished the tea, he said he had to go home and promised to return the next day. My daughter excitedly waited for his next visit and made full preparations. As the old man visited us the next day, he was amazed by all of the preparations for him, including apple pies. His eyes were filled with tears. We became friends, and my daughter and I enjoyed the company the old visitor offered us. But before long, he had to move to live with his daughter and we hadn’t seen him ever since.
Paragraph 2:
Several years later, a small envelope was delivered to our home—a letter from the old man’s daughter. She informed us that our dear old friend had passed away and sent us another letter written by the old man, which said, “Thank you for all your kindnesses to an old man. When I was lonely, you took me in. When I was badly in need of a family, you accepted me. My last few years are filled with happiness because of you.”
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Mr. Locket的妻子几年前去世了，他的子女都离得远，他一个人孤独地生活，为了排解孤独他上门向邻居推销自己种的蔬菜和水果。作者刚刚搬来这个社区，Mr. Locket敲响了她家的门，并且请他进门，第二天他再来时还请他喝了茶，作者一家是唯一给他开门的邻居。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“喝完茶后，他说他得回家，并答应第二天再来。”可知，第一段可描写作者和女儿之后和Locket先生的相处过程，作者的女儿非常喜欢他，后来老人搬去与女儿同住，他们失去了联系。
②由第二段首句内容“几年后，一个小信封送到了我们家——一封老人女儿的信。”可知，第二段可描写老人女儿信中的内容，信中提到Locket先生给作者写了封信，信里感谢作者的陪伴。
2.续写线索：Locket先生来作者家——作者及女儿和Locket先生成朋友——失去联系——收到老人女儿来信——信中老人感谢作者

There is a famous story about British poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. He was writing a poem when he was interrupted by a knock at the door.
This was an age before telephones. Someone was delivering a message. When Coleridge got back to his poem, he had lost his inspiration. His poetic mood had been broken by the knock on his door. His unfinished poem, which could otherwise have been a masterpiece, would now never be more than a little piece.
This story tells how unexpected communication can destroy an important thought, which brings us to the cell phone.
The most common complaint about cell phones is that people talk on them to the annoyance of people around them. But more damaging may be the cell phone’s interruption of our thoughts.
We have already entered a golden age of little white lies about our cell phones, and this is by and large (大体上) a healthy, protective development. “I didn’t hear it ring” or “I didn’t realize my phone had shut off” are among the lies we tell to give ourselves space where we’re beyond reach.
The notion of being unreachable is not a new concept—we have “Do Not Disturb” sign on the doors of hotel rooms. So why must we feel guilty when it comes to cell phones Why must we apologize if we decide to shut off the phone for a while
Now time alone, or a conversation with someone next to us which cannot be interrupted by a phone, is something to be cherished. Even cell phone devotees（信徒）, myself usually included, can’t help at times wanting to throw their phones away, or curse(咒骂) the day they were invented.
But we don’t and won’t, and there really is no need. All that’s required to take back our private time is a general social recognition that we have the right to it. In other words, we have to develop a healthy contempt (轻视)for the rings of our own phones.
A cell phone call deserves no greater priority than a random word from the person next to us，though the call on my cell phone may be the one-in-a-million from Steven Spielberg—who has finally read my novel and wants to make it his next movie. But most likely it is not, and I’m better off thinking about the idea I just had for a new story, or the slice of pizza I’ll eat for lunch.
4. What is the point of the anecdote about the poet Coleridge in the first three paragraphs
A. To emphasize the disadvantage of not having a cell phone.
B. To encourage readers to read the works of this poet.
C. To show how important inspiration is to a poet.
D. To direct readers’ attention to the main topic.
5. What does the writer think about people telling “white lies” about their cell phones
A It is a way of signaling that you don’t like the caller.
B. It is basically a good way to protect one’s privacy.
C. We should feel guilty when we can’t tell the truth.
D. It is natural to tell lies about small things.
6. According to the author, what is the most annoying problem caused by cell phones
A. Cell phones interrupt people’s private time.
B. With cell phones it is no longer possible to be unreachable.
C. People feel guilty when they are not able to answer their cell phones.
D. People get so obsessed with the cell phone rings that they fail to notice anything else.
7. What does the last paragraph imply
A. Never let cell phones disturb your life too much.
B. A person who calls us from afar deserves more of our attention.
C. Steven Spielberg once called the author to talk about the author’s novel.
D. You should always finish your lunch before you answer a call on the cell phone.
C
Dr. Donald Sadoway at MIT started his own battery company with the hope of changing the world's energy future．It's a dramatic endorsement（支持）for a technology most people think about only when their smartphone goes dark．But Sadoway isn't alone in boasting about energy storage as a missing link to a cleaner, more efficient, and more equitable energy future．
Scientists and engineers have long believed in the promise of batteries to change the world．Advanced batteries are moving out of specialized markets and creeping into the mainstream, signaling a tipping point for forward-looking technologies such as electric cars and rooftop solar propels．
The ubiquitous（无所不在的）battery has already come a long way, of course．For better or worse, batteries make possible our mobile-first．lifestyles, our screen culture, our increasingly globalized world．Still, as impressive as all this is, it may be trivial compared with what comes next．Having already enabled a communications revolution, the battery is now poised to transform just about everything else．
The wireless age is expanding to include not just our phones, tablets, and laptops, but also our cars, homes, and even whole communities．In emerging economies, rural communities are bypassing the wires and wooden poles that spread power．Instead, some in Africa and Asia are seeing their first light bulbs illuminated by the power of sunlight stored in batteries．
Today, energy storage is a $33 billion global industry that generates nearly 100 gigawatt-hours of electricity per year．By the end of the decade, it's expected to be worth over 50 billion dollars and generate 160 gigawatt-hours, enough to attract the attention of major companies that might not otherwise be interested in a decidedly pedestrian technology．Even utility companies, which have long viewed batteries and alternative forms of energy as a threat, are learning to embrace the technologies as enabling rather than disrupting．
Today's battery breakthroughs come as the world looks to expand modern energy access to the billion or so people without it, while also cutting back on fuels that warm the planet．Those simultaneous challenges appear less overwhelming with increasingly better answers to a centuries-old question: how to make power portable．
To be sure the battery still has a long way to go before the nightly recharge completely replaces the weekly trip to the gas station．A battery-powered world comes with its own risks, too．What happens to the centralized electric grid, which took decades and billions of dollars to build, as more and more people become "prosumers," who produce and consume their own energy on site
No one knows which——if any——battery technology will ultimately dominate, but one thing remains clear．The future of energy is in how we store it．
8. What does Dr. Sadoway think of energy storage
A. It involves the application of sophisticated technology．
B. It is the direction energy development should follow．

This November, I encourage the people of Arkansas to vote NO on a referendum（公投） to abolish the state’s motorcycle helmet law. The state’s current helmet law saves hundreds of lives per year, and it is senseless that people should be injured or killed merely because they are too vain to wear a helmet. Furthermore, helmet laws help to reduce public expenses on health care and have even been shown to prevent motorcycle theft. For these reasons, the citizens of Arkansas must oppose this referendum.
One hardly needs to appeal to statistics to show that helmets protect motorcyclists against injury or death. For those who are skeptical, however, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) calculates that in an accident helmets reduce the likelihood of fatal injury by 29%. If motorcyclists wish to protect themselves against injury and death, they should wear a helmet whenever they ride.
Many opponents of the helmet law agree that helmets save motorcyclists’ lives, but insist that the decision to wear a helmet should be left to the individual rider. Perhaps this argument would be valid if motorcyclists were the only ones negatively affected by their decision, but this is not the case. A 2002 study by the NHTSA concluded that only about half of all injured motorcyclists were properly insured, which means many of these riders likely relied on public funds to subsidize（补贴） their healthcare costs. If the citizens of Arkansas choose to abolish the helmet law, we can expect these costs to rise significantly, and at a time when our state is in a financial crisis.
Helmet laws can also help reduce motorcycle theft. Few thieves think to bring a helmet with them when they steal a motorcycle, which makes them much easier for police to spot. In addition to making it easier to catch motorcycle thieves and recover stolen bikes, evidence shows that helmet laws can stop motorcycle theft from happening in the first place. After Texas passed a statewide helmet law, cities there saw rates of motorcycle theft drop by up to 44%. A drop in the rates of motorcycle theft directly reduces law enforcement expenses related to this crime, which is another benefit to all citizens.
Opponents of the helmet law offer two main arguments. First, the law’s detractors（诽谤者）argue that properly educating riders is the best way to avoid accidents. I agree entirely; all motorcycle riders should be properly educated and should ride their bikes responsibly. Some accidents, however, are unavoidable, and as I have argued, helmets significantly reduce health care expenses associated with all accidents. Second, opponents argue that helmet laws infringe on their personal freedom. Again, I agree that the government should avoid limiting individual choice whenever possible, but as I have shown, the decision to wear a helmet does not affect only the rider, so this issue is not a simple matter of individual liberty. The government must not allow a few individuals to make society bear the burden of their irresponsible choices.
In a perfect world, helmet laws would not be necessary because all riders would wear them voluntarily. However, we do not live in a perfect world. Therefore we must require motorcyclists to make this socially responsible decision.
12. Which of the following would provide the strongest proof for the author’s claims
A. Helmet laws will unavoidably damage riders’ personal freedom.
B. Automobiles are a much more common target for theft than motorcycles.
C. 80% of motorcyclists wear a helmet even when not required to do so by law.
D. Healthcare costs related to motorcycle injuries will largely increase without the helmet law.
13. The main purpose of paragraph 5 is to ______.
A. expose the logical flaws in opponents’ arguments
B. stress that the helmet law violate human rights.
C. prove that the author shares common ground with opponents of the law
D. emphasize the importance of rider education in preventing motorcycle accidents
14. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined “infringe on” in Paragraph 5
A. obtain B. abolish
C. restrict D. release
15. Which could be the best title for the passage
A. Say No to helmet laws.
B. Laws limits people’s freedom.
C. Wearing helmets reduces health care expenses.
D. Vote No on the referendum to abolish helmet laws.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A light knock on the door brought me from my kitchen. Because we had just moved into the neighborhood, I couldn’t imagine who it would be. Opening the door, an old man stood there, who was dressed in dirty clothing and wearing dirty rubber boots. His hand hung a plastic bag.
“Can I help you ” I asked.
“Would you like to buy some fresh garden vegetables ” His blue eyes were hopeful.
“Are they from your garden ” I looked inside his plastic bag and saw some carrots with soil.
“Yes,” his voice was soft. “And I can get some apples from a tree in my yard. Would you like some of those, too ”
My heart softened, and I wondered if he was badly in need of money. With a sigh, I said, “Please step inside and I’ll get my money.”
The next day, he knocked at our door again. This time, my little four-year-old daughter got there first. “Oh, hello. Would you like to come in for some tea ” Without a second thought, the old man stepped inside and held out a broken basket with several apples. “From my tree,” he said, removing a worn cap. “You might like to make a pie.”
The three of us sat at the kitchen table and drank our tea. It was obvious that my daughter liked hosting a visitor in her never-ending questions. “What is your name Where do you live Why are your clothes so dirty ”
The homeless-looking man laughed as he answered each question. His name was Mr. Locket and he lived around the corner. His wife had passed away several years ago, and his children all lived far away. He was lonely. His need for company had sent him door to door selling fruit and vegetables. Ours was the only door opened to him that day.
注意：1. 续写词数应为100左右；
2. 开头已给出。
Paragraph 1:
When he finished the tea, he said he had to go home and promised to return the next day.

Paragraph 2:
Several years later, a small envelope was delivered to our home—a letter from the old man’s daughter.
