It was a cold day and I had no desire to drive to my daughter Carolyn’s house. But she had insisted I see something on top of the mountain. So here I was, unwillingly making the two-hour journey through fog.
After I parked the car, we walked along a path with thick pine needles and huge evergreens towering over us. Gradually, the peace and silence began to fill my mind. Then we turned a corner and stopped—and I breathed in amazement!
From the top of the mountain, covering several valleys, were rivers of daffodils(水仙花) in bloom. All kinds of colors spread like a carpet before us. It looked as if the sun had spilled gold down the mountainside. At the center hung a waterfall of roses. Here and there were colorful tulips(郁金香). How fantastic the wonder was!
A lot of questions filled my mind. Who created such beauty Why How
Nearing the center of the garden, we saw a sign that read: ''Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking.'' The first answer was: ''One Woman—Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain.'' The second was: ''One at a Time.'' The third: ''Started in 1958. ''
As we drove home, I was so moved that I could scarcely speak. ''She changed the world,'' I finally said, ''one bulb at a time. She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it.''
24．The author didn't want to make the trip because __________
A．she didn't want to see her daughter.
B．the road condition was not so good.
C．the weather was bad and the trip was long.
D．the forest was so thick as to make one depressed.

B．The garden was created with others' help.
C．Five people helped make the garden.
D．The garden was soon built.
27．What does the author intend to tell us from the story

B．An eye finds more truth than two ears.
C．Chance often favors the prepared mind.
D．He who walks with wise men should be wise.
C
These days, it seems like everything is going digital. You can find almost everything on the Internet.
Many people find this way of life more convenient, because they can complete their daily chores（琐事） from the comfort of their own home.
Firstly, online shopping can be far less stressful than hitting the high street shops. There are no huge crowds of people or boring long queues. With online shopping, it’s just you and your computer. It’s like you have the whole shop to yourself! Secondly, online stores don’t have opening and closing times. This is perfect for anyone with a busy schedule. If you want to, you can even place an online shopping order at three o'clock in the morning!
In the busy modern world, there are clearly many advantages to online shopping. However, in my experience, there are also several cons… With online shopping, you can’t try before you buy, and that’s a definite disadvantage for me. Often, when my new clothes arrive, I find they don’t fit very well. It’s always annoying when a dress is a little too big, or when sleeves are too short… Sometimes, the clothes are not what I was expecting. A piece of clothing might look great in photos online, but quite different in real life.
In these cases, you want to return the item, but here lies the biggest problem with online shopping. You have to pay for your order’s delivery, and for an item to be returned to the warehouse! These charges are often very expensive, which suddenly make online shopping seem a little less convenient… That’s why I don’t choose to shop online very frequently. For now, I will continue to find the time for a trip to a real shop, where I know exactly what I’m buying!
28．What’s the main idea of the third paragraph
A．The differences among online stores. B．The methods of online shopping.
C．The opening time of online stores. D．The advantages of online shopping.
29．Which word can replace the underlined word“cons”in the fourth paragraph
A．Comparisons. B．Concentration.
C．Disadvantages. D．Disagreements.
30．According to the author, what is the biggest problem with online shopping
A．The waste of time and electricity.
B．The expensive charges for the returned item.
C．The disadvantages of not trying before you buy.
D．The lost experience of walking in a real shop.
31．What’s the author’s attitude towards online shopping
A．Disapproval. B．Doubtful.
C．Curious. D．Favorable.
D
The world’s top automakers are increasingly offering more electric vehicle models. This growth is expected to continue, with more people choosing to hit the road with clean-running electric cars.
Environmentalists have praised the automakers for taking major steps to limit harmful pollutants linked to worldwide climate change. But electric vehicles are also known for not producing another kind of pollution - noise. They run on batteries instead of fuel, and can operate in silence.
While many people might consider this a good thing, quiet cars can also cause problems. The main danger is that people around electric vehicles face a greater risk of being hit if they cannot hear the cars coming.
Governments in the United States and Europe have recognized this problem. So, they have set requirements for manufacturers to add warning sounds to electric vehicles.
The U.S.Department of Transportation finalized its rules a year ago. The rules require electric and hybrid (混和能源) vehicles to be equipped with some warning sounds when moving at speeds up to 30 kilometers per hour. The rules are aimed at preventing injuries among people walking or riding bicycles and to protect the blind.
So what kinds of sounds can we expect to hear from the next generation of electric vehicles One of the easiest solutions would be for carmakers to reproduce the sound a traditional car running on fuel. But many industry officials believe this would be a mistake. They say this would not support the electric vehicle’s true identity.
Frank Welsch, the head of technical development at Volkswagen, said that finding the perfect sound mix is not an easy process. He said. “It cannot be too annoying. It cannot sound like anything we had in the past.”
An official from Mercedes-Benz said the sound was designed to provide a safe warning without annoying passengers inside the vehicle. He said the goal was to create a car that remains completely quiet inside.
It might seem strange to think that part of our automotive future is currently being developed in the same kinds of recording studios used by musicians. But that is exactly what is happening.
32．What’s the main advantages of the electric cars over the traditional cars
A．Fast and clean. B．Smart and modern.
C．Inexpensive and fashionable. D．Limited pollution and no noise.
33．What’s the author’s purpose to write the first two paragraphs
A．To provide some facts about electric cars.
B．To introduce the topic of the passage.
C．To list the advantages of automobiles.
D．To stress the importance of saving energy.
34．Sounds are added to electric cars to _________.
A．limit pollutants B．prevent injuries
C．increase sales D．make cars smarter
35．What would be the best title for the passage
A．Electric Cars Need Creative Sounds to Replace Engine Noise.
B．Electric Car Sounds Promote Sales to a Large Degree.
C．Recording Studios Will Create Sounds for All Electric cars.
D．Governments Call on People to Design Electric Car Sounds.

At the news that the Chinese Women Volleyball Team won the World Cup, the whole nation were wild with joy.
As the saying goes, Rome is not built in one day. When it comes to the reasons for their victory, the first reason I think was the hard and strict training they received, through which they have improved their professional skills. Besides, the teammates cooperated with each other so well, making it possible for them to win the World Cup. Of course, the couches' guidance also mattered.
As for a Chinese, I am really proud of them and appreciate the honour they won for our motherland. The sports spirits I learn from them will inspire me to work hard for my dream. And I hope I can make contributions to our motherland in the future.
