On an extremely cold December night, fire trucks arrived in the sleepy little town of Manton, Michigan and shot to Chittle's home. Was it because of a fire or a child climbing too high to a dangerous place Rather, it was for helping make a dream come true.
Outdoor activities and a slow pace of life are a mainstay in this rural town. When people were unable to leave the community, Scott Chittle decided they needed a safe place to come together and something joyful during the winter months. And what is a better outdoor activity to get people outside than ice skating
To fulfil his dream, Chittle downloaded instructions on how to build an ice rink and then ordered a 3, 000 square foot waterproof cloth and some wood to create walls online. It took 12 fire trucks to get enough water to fill the plot.
It took a little time and some neighborly persuasion as Chittle went door to door to convince people to come to see his creation, and soon Chittle's backyard ice rink became a Manton hot spot. Children were skating and shooting, a fire was burning, and hot chocolate was steaming in to-go cups. “When things were tough, it was a place, ” says Chittle's neighbor Audrey Hooker. “It was fantastic because we just came together and became calm and happy instead of concerned. "
But the goodwill didn't stop with Chittle. When the community heard how much money he used to make this project happen, everyone stepped forward. A fundraiser brought in about $1, 300, and letters flooded to Chittle's home stuffed with cash. “Almost 30 complete strangers knocked on my door to just shake my hand and say thank you, most of them handing me money as well and three asking for a hug,” says Chittle. “This has been a community thing. It's more than me. I want to show the rest of the world what a little effort and the best intentions can do.”
24. Why did fire trucks come to Manton
A. To deal with an emergency. B. To send water to the community.
C. To ensure people's safety in the town. D. To help with Chittle building the ice rink.
25. What did Chittle do to carry out his project
A. Persuade his neighbors to make donations.
B. Purchase a piece of land behind his house.
C. Turn to the Internet for tips and materials.
D. Research the popular lifestyles in Manton.
26. How did the ice rink affect the community
A. It made the community popular in Mantan.
B. It slowed down the pace of the residents' life.
C. It offered people there comfort and company.
D. It inspired the residents to do outdoor activities.
27. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean
A. Everyone could make a difference to society.
B. Chittle received acts of kindness from others.
C. The community got better due to the ice rink.
D. Chittle had goodwill to the whole community.

A vast majority of people usually argue that cycling can make a significant contribution to our world. In reality, there is a gap between desired and actual numbers. In Germany, for instance, only 20% of the everyday short-distance trips are covered by bicycle. When enquiring about the causes, researchers found one point repeatedly tops the list: the perceived or potential risk on the bike routes used. Increasing the share of cycling trips thus depends crucially on well-developed bike paths.
However, designing efficient bike path networks is a complex task that involves balancing a variety of limitations while meeting overall demand. In addition, many districts are confronted with a shortage of funds available for improving the infrastructure. Researchers propose a new approach to generating efficient bike path networks. This considers demand distribution and the route option of cyclists based on preferences for secure outings. Typically, minimizing the travel distance is far from the solely goal. Aspects such as attractiveness of a route are also taken into account.
Under real conditions, a bike path network is created by constantly adding bike paths to more streets. This time, researchers start with an ideal, complex network, in which all streets in a city are equipped with a bike path. In a virtual process, they gradually remove less used bike path sections from this network. The route selection of cyclists is continuously updated. Thus, a series of bike path networks is created and is always adapted to the current usage. Each stage of it corresponds to a variant that could be carried out with less financial support.
"We illustrate the applicability of this demand-driven planning for crowded urban areas of Dresden and Hamburg,” explains researcher Christoph Steinacker. “We are approaching a real-life issue here using the theoretic toolbox of network dynamics and compare efficient bike path networks under different conditions.”
28. Why do people rarely cycle
A. They think of cycling as inefficient. B. They usually take long-distance trips.
C. They're concerned about the security. D. They're unable to find special bike roads.
29. What is a challenge for good bike path networks
A. Tight budgets. B. Complex routes.
C. Maximized travel distance. D. Decreasing cycling demand.
30. What can be learned about the planning put forward by researchers
A. It will be updated once in a while. B. It is contrary to the real-life design.
C. It ensures every street has a bike path. D. It serves as a model for other districts.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Good Planning Gets the Bike Rolling
B. A good Network Benefits More People
C. Cycling Paths Change Crowded Urban Areas
D. A New Concept Contributes to a Better World
D
Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst （UMass Amherst） recently announced that they have figured out how to engineer a biofilm （生物膜） that harvests the energy in evaporation （蒸 发） and changes it to electricity. This biofilm, which was announced in Nature Communications, has the potential to revolutionize the world of wearable electronics, powering everything from personal medical sensors to personal electronics.
“This is a very exciting technology, says Liu Xiaomeng, a graduate student in electrical and computer engineering in UMass Amherst's College of Engineering and the paper's lead author. "It generates real green energy, and unlike other so-called ‘green-energy’ sources, its production is totally green. "
That is because this biofilm — which is a sheet of bacterial cells and as thin as a sheet of paper — is produced naturally by an engineered version of the bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens. G sulfurreducens is known to produce electricity and has been used previously in “microbial batteries” to power electrical equipment. But such batteries require that G sulfurreducens be properly cared for and fed a constant diet. By contrast, this new biofilm, which can supply as much energy as a comparably sized battery, works continuously, because it is dead. And because it is dead, it doesn’t need to be fed.
The secret behind this new biofilm is that it makes energy from the moisture （水分） on your skin. While we daily read stories about solar power, at least 50% of the solar energy reaching the earth goes toward evaporating water. “This is a huge, undiscovered source of energy,” says Yao Jun, professor of electrical and computer engineering at UMass Amherst, and the paper's one senior author. Since the surface of our skin is constantly moist with sweat, the biofilm can “plug into” it and change the energy locked in evaporation into sufficient energy to power small equipment. “Our next step is to increase the size of our film to power more intelligent wearable electronics,” says Yao, and Liu points out that one of the goals is to power entire electronic systems, rather than single equipment.
32. Which of the following can biofilm do according to the first paragraph
A. Update wearable electronics.
B. Get power from evaporation.
C. Supply energy to microbial batteries.
D. Transform the way of generating electricity.
33. What is the advantage of the biofilm compared with “microbial batteries”
A. It is comparatively thinner. B. It is environmentally friendly.
C. It adopts a rare energy source. D. It decreases the cost in usage.
34. How does the biofilm power small devices
A. By interacting with solar power.
B. By making electricity out of sweat.
C. By gaining energy from electronic system.
D. By employing water to generate electricity.
35. Which of the following best describes the biofilm
A. Intelligent. B. Flexible. C. Delicate. D. Promising.

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。
Whether it is the flu or any of the other cold-like viruses rising in winter, it seems that stuffy noses and sore throats are common symptoms. You may have noticed, however, that your cold seems to get better or worse depending on the time of day. _36_Then, they partially clear up throughout the day, only to get worse once more as you get to bed. Why does this happen
Currently, the leading idea is that symptom severity is linked to our circadian rhythm （昼夜节 律）. The circadian rhythm is very important for daily cellular processes and can be affected by the amount of sleep and light we get each day. _37_
While resting, the body uses the downtime to recover. _38__This also applies when you are ill — the body floods the blood with white blood cells called leukocytes, resulting in an immune response against diseases and the immune system fighting infection.
This, therefore, explains why our cold symptoms get worse as we settle down for a night's sleep. Cells infected by viruses are attracted to the local area and killed, causing soreness in the affected tissues, and mucus （鼻 涕） floods the nose to join the fight. _39_ You wake up feeling like death due to the battle happening within.
_40_The first is simply gravity. When you lie down, your mucus builds up in the nose, causing pressure and headaches. As you stand up, you start to feel better. Another factor is about hormones. Hormonal imbalances can be caused by lack of sleep at night and could influence immune function, leading to a cycle of sleepless nights and then feeling worse.
A. Others are reporting the same thing.
B: It's a good thing, but it really doesn't feel like it.
C. Gravity helps out a lot more when you are upright.
D. Most commonly, you wake up with worse symptoms.
E. There are other reasons why you might feel worse at night.
F. This is why sleep is so important after you’ve been to the gym.
G. It also plays a critical role in controlling the heart and the immune system.

Poor credit_46_ me past college and years into my teaching career. That has fuelled my sense of_47_ to teach the next generation of students about personal finance. It's why I helped develop a personal finance course for teens and young adults.
To make the class as _48_ as possible, we asked the students what _49_ interested them. They were curious to know about buying homes and cars. Our course, intended for those aged between 14 and 21, has them _50_ questions: How much do I need to save to make these purchases Which purchases do I prioritize
