Elon Musk is a symbol of passion, hard work and success. A person may work hard in his life, but when hard work goes along with passion and a new idea, then something is created that astonishes the world. As the founder of big companies like PayPal,SpaceX,and Tesla Motors, Elon Musk is a guide and inspiration for the youth around the world.
Elon Musk was born on June 28,1971 in Pretoria,South Africa. He was the eldest of three children. His father Errol Musk,a British-born South African,was an engineer. Musk spent his childhood in South Africa and at the age of 9, he got his first personal computer. This got Elon interested in programming and he started to learn on his own. At the age of 12, he made his first computer game,Blaster,which earned him $500 when he sold the source code to a magazine.
When he was 17, he decided to leave home and had wanted to move to the United States after graduating from a secondary school in Pretoria. However,he was unable to move to the United States. In 1989, Elon Musk moved to Canada,where his mother’s relatives lived. After obtaining Canadian citizenship,Musk went to Montreal. Due to a lack of money, he found a low-paying job. At the age of 19, he entered Queens University in Kingston, Ontario,studying there for two years. Finally,in 1992,his dream came true-he moved to the United States.
As a teenager,Musk struggled with depression. But then he realized that the most important thing was presenting himself with the right questions. The day he started doing this,everything started to get easier.
Musk thought that a human being had to expand the limits of his consciousness-to ask the right questions and get answers to them; thus he asked the best question of all:what will have the greatest impact on the future of humans Musk found that these things were the Internet and space exploration.
The life of Elon Musk is inspiring. He found success on the Internet,without much formal learning. By reading books and using his willpower and dedication,he reached a level of knowledge that is difficult to imagine. He did not give up until he achieved his dreams, Elon Musk truly stands out among other billionaires because of his leadership abilities, positive attitude, ability to know when to take risks, and belief in futuristic technologies.

A project in Kenya is using biogas (沼气) technology to attack two major pollution problems with one device; a machine that changes waste such as invasive water hyacinth (入侵性水葫芦) into cleaner cooking fuel.
The project from Biogas International, a Kenyan energy technology company, has so far provided 50 of the Flexi Biogas devices to homes in the city of Kisumu in western Kenya. The main device is called a digester (漫煮器) because it breaks down plant waste to produce gas. The digesters will permit families to stop using wood or coal, both of which produce dangerous smoke. People will also be able to cook foods faster using the gas. Tony Otieno used the gas from a digester to cook tea for his 70-year-old grandmother Margaret. He said, “The gas has no smoke, does not smell, and it is much faster than the jiko (a stove that uses wood-coal).”
Some of the families received a gas stove as part of the project, to replace their jiko. The machines process plant waste such as water hyacinth. That plan has covered large parts of Lake Victoria. The weed-like plant harms living things in the lake including fish. The plant also helps bacteria and mosquitoes increase, causing health risks to local communities.
Dominic Wanjihia Kahumbu is head of Biogas International. He said that at a cost of $650, most families in the city do not have enough money to buy the device. Although the technology can be on a small or large scale, he said, each system costs a lot to make. As a result, it is unlikely that the company will make a profit for at least another five years. He said the company needs new investment.
Two larger versions of the equipment are still in the testing stage. They would produce clean fuel on an larger scale for restaurants, chicken farms and fish drying facilities in the area.
28. What do the two major pollution problems refer to
A. Bacteria and mosquitoes (蚊子)
B. Plant waste and fuel pollution.
C. Biogas and water hyacinth.
D. Jiko and dangerous smoke.
29. Which of the following can best describe the device
A. Large. B. Cheap.
C. Environment-friendly. D. Nice-looking.
30. What can we know about the water hyacinth from the text
A. It helps fish increase.
B. It has covered Kenya.
C. It’s a threat to the local people.
D. It leads to the invention of digester.
31. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the device
A. Its kinds. B. Its disadvantages. C. Its future D. Its function
D
An international team led by scientists at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has recently developed the world’s first 3D artificial eye with capabilities that even outperform those of the human eyes, bringing vision to humanoid robots and new hope to patients with visual damage.
Scientists have spent decades trying to produce the exact copies of the structure and clarity of a biological eye, but vision provided by existing artificial eyes with external wires are still in poor resolution (分辨率) with 2D flat image sensors. The Electrochemical Eye (EC-Eye) developed at HKUST, however, may actually offer sharper vision than a human eye, with extra functions such as the ability to see things in darkness.
The key feature allowing such breakthroughs is a 3D artificial retina (视网膜), made of nanowire (纳米线) light sensors which are like the photoreceptor in human retinas. The scientists connected the nanowire light sensors to some liquid metal wires serving as nerves behind the human-made retina during the experiment, and successfully carried out the visual signal transmission to reflect what the eye sees onto the computer screen. In the future, those nanowire light sensors could be directly connected to the nerves of the visually damaged patients. Apart from that, the artificial retina can receive more light signals and potentially attain a higher image resolution than human retina.
With further adjustment, the EC-Eye can be a self-powered image sensor, so there is no need for external power source, which will be much more user-friendly as compared with the current technology “The current artificial eyes are still of no match to the human eyes. A new technology is in urgent need, and it gives me a strong motivation to start this unconventional project. In the next step, we plan to further improve the performance of our device. Animal and clinical trials are now being planned. I think if everything is on track, perhaps in five years, the technology will become practical,” said Prof. Fan, whose team has spent nine years to complete the current study.
32. What’s the feature of the EC Eye
A. It uses 2D fiat image sensors.
B. It provides a clearer vision than human eyes.
C. It performs better at night than in the day.
D. It is attached with external wires.
33. What’s the function of nanowire light sensors
A. To send computer signals B. To serve as nerves behind the retina.
C. To receive visual signals. D. To connect nerves of patients to the wires.
34. What can we infer about the EC- Eye from Dr. Fan’s words
A. It is different from the previous devices.
B. It has been improved by the team
c. It will be in clinical (临床的) trials in five years.
D. It is of no match to human eyes.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. EC-Eye Will Become Popular
B. Nanowire Light Sensors Help People See
C. Scientists Have Developed First Artificial 3D Eye
D. EC-Eye Helps to Cure People of Eye Diseases

阅读下面短文，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。
Personal development doesn’t just happen. 36 Self-development requires hard work, devotion and an ever-growing skill. So, what new skills do you need to power forward
On your journey toward your best self, you need to set goals. The key is balance: If your goals are too high, you’ll get discouraged when you fall short. 37 The better approach is to think in milestones. If you want to be a novelist don’t set a goal to finish a book in a week. Focus on getting a couple of pages done each day, or on writing a charter each week. This measurable progress is more sustainable and fulfilling.
38 To keep going when times are tough, you have to learn how to manage your stress levels. If light walks help you keep your head on straight, schedule one for your lunch period every day. If you need to take Sundays off to recharge for the next week,it’s more than acceptable to do so.
Organization is a skill that comes more naturally to some people than others. If you’re a naturally messy person, start small. Otherwise, you’ll be at a loss. 39 Clean up your bedroom or your car. If physical cleaning is stressful, start by cutting out files from your computer. Believe it or not,one clean space can set the tone for the rest of your life.
On the road of personal development,you’ll run into some barriers. Nobody but you can remove these from your path. 40 Perhaps anxiety is keeping you from doing your best work. Instead of struggling through it, quietly take a mental health day.
A. Personal growth needs stress management.
B. Focus on the places where you spend the most time.
C. You can’t expect to wake up the next day with new skills.
D. Don’t let personal challenges stand in the way of your growth.
E. That’s why problem solving is a vital skill for self-development.
F. You absolutely don’t need to disclose why you’re taking a sick day.
G. Start too small, and you’ll become satisfied with your progress too early.

Dear Jim,
I’m glad to hear that you are going to pay a visit to China during the summer vacation. In order to ensure that you have a pleasant trip and avoid misunderstanding due to different cultures, I have some tips for you. As we all know, language and cultural diversity are the biggest obstacles to travel, so you’d better learn some basic Mandarin in advance. Of course, if you can learn a few local dialects, it will be much better. In addition, Chinese eating habits are very different from your country, so you’d better know about Chinese Recipes beforehand. Wish you have a good time in China
Yours truly
