B
On the day he almost died, Kimbal Musk had food on the brain. The Internet startup talent and restaurateur had just arrived in Jackson Hole from a conference where chef Jamie Oliver had spoken about the benefits of healthy eating. This was something Musk thought about a lot- how he might make a difference to the food industry—but beyond expanding his farm-to-table movement along with his restaurant, Musk hadn’t yet broken the code. Then he went sailing down a snowy slope (坡) and fell over, breaking his neck. The left side of his body was paralyzed.
Musk eventually made a full recovery, but it involved spending two months on his back, which gave him plenty of time to come up with a plan. Since then, he has launched an initiative to put “learning gardens” in public schools across America; attracted Generation Z to the farming profession by changing shipping containers into high-tech, data-driven, year-round farms; and this year, is kicking off a new campaign to create one million at-home gardens.
Aimed at reaching low- income families, the Million Gardens Movement was inspired by the pandemic, as both a desire to feel more connected to nature and food insecurity have been at the forefront of so many people’s lives. “We were getting a lot of inquiries about gardening from people that had never gardened before,” says Musk. “People were looking to garden for a bunch of reasons: to supplement their budget, to improve the nutritional quality of their diets, or just to cure the boredom that came with the lockdown.”
The program offers free garden kits that can be grown indoors or outdoors, and will be distributed through schools that Musk’s non-profit, Big Green, has already partnered with. It also offers free courses on how to get the garden growing and fresh seeds and materials for the changing growing seasons. “I grew up in the projects when I was young, in what we now call food deserts,” says EVE, one of the many celebrities who have teamed up with the organization to encourage people to pick up a free garden. “What I love about this is that it's not difficult. We are all able to grow something.”
24. What inspired Musk to be devoted to food industry
A. An accident. B. Jamie Oliver’s speech.
C. The pandemic. D. The farm-to-table movement.
25. What can we learn about the Million Gardens Movement
A. It has mainly attracted young generations. B. It has just accomplished its target.
C. It may be stimulated by a lack of food security. D. It increases economic burdens for the poor.
26. Which of the following best describes Musk
A. Charitable. B. Honest. C. Flexible. D. Strict.
27. Why is EVE taken as an example
A. To demonstrate the program to be non-profit. B. To share his experience in a food desert.
C. To encourage people to start a free garden. D. To clarify the reason why he loves a garden.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. C
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Musk在受Jamie Oliver演讲的启发后，创立百万个家庭花园，鼓励和教授人们自己种植自己的食物，来让自己吃的食物更健康。
24. 细节理解题。根据第一段的“The Internet startup talent and restaurateur had just arrived in Jackson Hole from a conference where chef Jamie Oliver had spoken about the benefits of healthy eating. This made Musk think a lot—how he might make a difference to the food industry(这位互联网创业天才和餐馆老板刚刚参加完Jackson Hole的一个会议抵达Jackson Hole，会上主厨Jamie Oliver谈到了健康饮食的好处。这让马斯克思考了很多——他如何能对食品行业作出改变)”可知，Musk在参加完Jamie Oliver的演讲之后开始考虑对食品行业作出改变，即受到了这个演讲的启发。故选B。
25. 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Aimed at reaching low- income families, the Million Gardens Movement was inspired by the pandemic, as both a desire to feel more connected to nature and food insecurity have been at the forefront of so many people’s lives. (百万花园运动旨在帮助低收入家庭，受到疫情的启发，因为许多人生活的首要问题是希望更多地与自然联系，以及粮食不安全)”可知，Million Gardens Movement可能是由于缺乏粮食安全而引起的。故选C。
26. 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Aimed at reaching low-income families (旨在惠及低收入家庭)”可知Musk创立百万花园运动主要针对低收入家庭；由文章最后一段的“The program offers free garden kits that can be grown indoors or outdoors(该计划提供可以在室内或室外种植的免费花园套件)”可知他免费给人们提供种植套件；“It also offers free courses(它还提供免费课程)”可知Musk的计划还给人提供免费课程；综上所述，可推知Musk是富有慈善意识的。故选A。
27. 推理判断题。根据最后一段的 “I grew up in the projects when I was young, in what we now call food deserts,” says EVE, one of the many celebrities who have teamed up with the organization to encourage people to pick up a free garden. “What I love about this is that it’s not difficult. We are all able to grow something.”(“我小时候在这些项目中长大，我们现在称之为食物沙漠，”伊芙说，她是许多名人之一，与该组织合作，鼓励人们挑选一个免费的花园。“我喜欢这个的原因是它并不难。我们都能种点东西。”)推知，最后一段用EVE的例子是为了鼓励人们开始免费的花园。故选C。
C
“What kind of rubbish are you ” This question might normally cause anger, but in Shanghai it has brought about weary groans over the past week. On July 1st, the city introduced strict trash-sorting regulations that are expected to be used as a model for our country. Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss it into specific public bins. They must do so at scheduled times, when monitors are present to ensure compliance (服从) and to inquire into the nature of one’s rubbish.
Violators face the prospect of fines and worse. They could be hit with fines of up to 200 yuan ($29). For repeat violators, the city can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder for them to obtain bank loans or even buy train tickets.
Shanghai authorities are responding to an obvious environmental problem. It generates 9 million tons of garbage a year, more than London’s annual output and rising quickly. But like other cities in China, it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on trash pickers to sift through the waste, plucking out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up. China churns out 80 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks a year.
Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are frustrated by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or hazardous (有害的), the distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules surrounding food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bin, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss it by hand. Most annoying are the short windows for dumping trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out; no one wants to look bad.
28. Which definition fits the underlined word “Violators” in Paragraph 2 most
A. People who don’t sort the waste. B. People who don’t inquire about the nature of rubbish.
C. People who don’t follow the regulations. D. People who don’t throw the trash on time.
29. What are the residents dissatisfied with most
A. Short scheduled time for throwing away the trash.
B. Complicated distinctions among the four categories of trash.
C. Being observed by monitors when tossing the garbage.
D. Being fined for improper behaviors.
30. What is the author’s attitude towards the trash-sorting regulations according to the text
A. Doubtful. B. Neutral. C. Indifferent. D. Sympathetic.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. A Restart of Trash-sorting B. What Kind of Rubbish Are You
C. A New Time of Garbage Classification D. A Recycling System Is Needed in Shanghai
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. C
【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是7月1日，上海市出台了严格的垃圾分类规定，有望成为我国的榜样。
28. 词句猜测题。根据画线词下文“face the prospect of fines and worse (面对罚款甚至更糟的后果)”可知，这些人将面临罚款甚至更严重的后果。再根据第一段中的“Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss it into specific public bins. They must do so at scheduled times, when monitors are present to ensure compliance (服从) and to inquire into the nature of one’s rubbish.(居民必须将他们的垃圾分成四类，并将其扔进特定的公共垃圾箱。他们必须在规定的时间内这样做，届时会有监督员在场，以确保他们遵守规定，并询问垃圾的性质。)”可知，居民必须将垃圾分成四类，把它们扔进特定的公共垃圾箱里。结合选项可推断，画线词是指违反管理条例的人，即People who don’t follow the regulations。故选C。
29. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Most annoying are the short windows for dumping trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. (最令人讨厌的是倾倒垃圾的短窗口，通常是早上和晚上的几个小时。)”可知，最让居民烦恼的是短暂的垃圾投放时间，通常只有早上和晚上的几个小时，这就是居民最不满意的地方。故选A。
30. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are frustrated by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or hazardous (有害的), the distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules surrounding food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bin, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss it by hand. Most annoying are the short windows for dumping trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. (许多居民似乎总体上支持回收利用的想法，但对细节感到沮丧。垃圾必须按照食物、可回收、干垃圾和有害垃圾进行分类，它们之间的区别可能令人困惑，不过有一些应用程序可以帮助区分。一些人抱怨有关食物浪费的规定。他们必须把垃圾直接扔进规定的公共垃圾箱，迫使他们撕开塑料袋，用手扔。最令人讨厌的是倾倒垃圾的短窗口，通常是早上和晚上的几个小时。)”可知，作者客观描述居民对垃圾分类的规定的态度，因此作者的态度是中立的，故选B。
31. 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“On July 1st, the city introduced strict trash-sorting regulations that are expected to be used as a model for our country. Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss it into specific public bins. They must do so at scheduled times, when monitors are present to ensure compliance (服从) and to inquire into the nature of one’s rubbish. (7月1日，该市出台了严格的垃圾分类规定，有望成为我国的榜样。居民必须将他们的垃圾分成四类，并将其扔进特定的公共垃圾箱。他们必须在规定的时间内这样做，届时会有监督员在场，以确保他们遵守规定，并询问垃圾的性质。)”可知，本文主要讲的是7月1日，上海市出台了严格的垃圾分类规定，有望成为我国的榜样，因此最好的题目是C选项“A New Time of Garbage Classification(垃圾分类的新时代)”。故选C。
D
Officials of Detroit, Michigan, have equipped apiece of road with new technology designed to charge electric vehicles (EVs) on the path. The roadway is meant to serve as a demonstration project for the technology, which could be expanded to larger road systems.
The system uses a series of copper wires placed underneath the road. These wires have the ability to send electricity through a magnetic field to charge an EV’s battery. Charging can happen while the car is driving or sitting above the equipment. Elect re on says the electric road system is safe for people and animals walking over it and does not harm drivers.
The technology was created by Electreon, a developer of wireless charging solutions for EVs. Stefan Tongur, Electreon’s vice president of business development, told The Associated Press EVs require special equipment to receive the wireless signal. “The technology is smart,” Tongur said, and “knows who you are...”
The electrified road stretches about one half-kilometer. It will be used to test and improve the technology in preparation for wider releases. Tongur said the project aims to “demonstrate how wireless charging unlocks widespread EV adoption, addressing limited range, grid (电网) limitations, and battery size and costs.” He looks forward to a future in which, in his words, “EVs are the norm, not the exception.”
Michigan’s Department of Transportation (DOT) signed a five-year agreement with Electreon to develop the roadway charging system. Officials have said they plan to build another electrified stretch of road in another part of the city. Michigan transportation officials say the wireless-charging roadway project has helped position the state and city of Detroit as national leaders in EV technology. “In Michigan, we want to stay ahead of the curve,” Michigan DOT Director Bradley C. Wieferich told the AP.
32. What is the new technology intended to do
A. Provide power for EVs. B. Demonstrate a project.
C. Expand road systems. D. Improve EVs’ batteries.
33. What can we learn about the electric road system
A. People and animals may get an electric shock near it.
B. EVs are charged through contact with its copper wires.
C. It charges EVs only if they stay still on the equipment.
D. A special device is needed to pick up its wireless signals.
34. Which of the following can best replace the underlined phrase “stay ahead of the curve”
A. Develop more smoothly. B. Make progress in the industry.
C. Take the lead in the field. D. Achieve a goal ahead of time.
35. What is Bradley’s attitude towards the project
A. Skeptical. B. Tolerant. C. Favorable. D. Objective.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. C
【解析】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了美国密歇根州底特律市在一条公路上配备的专为行驶中的电动汽车充电的技术。
32. 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Officials of Detroit, Michigan, have equipped apiece of road with new technology designed to charge electric vehicles (EVs) on the path. (美国密歇根州底特律市的官员在一条公路上配备了专为行驶中的电动汽车充电的技术。)”可知，这种新技术是用来给电动汽车充电的。故选A。
33. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Stefan Tongur, Electreon’s vice president of business development, told The Associated Press EVs require special equipment to receive the wireless signal. (Stefan Tongur是Electreon公司的业务发展副总裁，他告诉美联社，电动汽车需要特殊的设备来接收无线信号。)”可知，电动汽车需要特殊的设备来接收无线信号。故选D。
34. 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Michigan transportation officials say the wireless-charging roadway project has helped position the state and city of Detroit as national leaders in EV technology. (密歇根州交通官员表示，无线充电道路项目帮助该州和底特律市成为电动汽车技术的全国领先者。)”可知，无线充电道路项目有助于将该州和底特律市定位为电动汽车技术的全国领导者，所以他们希望在该领域保持领先地位。stay ahead of the curve意为“保持领先地位”，故选C。
35. 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“‘In Michigan, we want to stay ahead of the curve,’ Michigan DOT Director Bradley C. Wieferich told the AP. (密歇根州交通部主任Bradley C. Wieferich告诉美联社：‘在密歇根州，我们希望保持领先地位。’)”可知，Bradley对这个项目持赞成的态度。故选C。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
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。
How to Stop Being Angry
When you are angry, you make ill-considered decisions that you will probably regret. What can be done to control anger and prevent it from ruining our lives Here are some ways you can try.
You need to change your attitude. Accept sometimes things do go wrong and that people are not always lovely. 36 Also, you need to accept not everyone has the same standards as you, nor will they behave in the same way you would in a given situation.
37 There are occasions when anger can be directed in such a way as to achieve great things. Martin Luther King and Gandhi was angry about what they saw as injustice. 38
It is beneficial to stop trying to manage your anger. Anger management used to be promoted as a way of dealing with anger, but all that happens is that the anger is suppressed. 39 Once you know why you get mad, then it is possible to deal with the cause.
Don’t take the easy way when you get angry. We all want to throw something, hit something (or even someone), or scream when angry. A reaction like that is the easy way. By learning control, you can become a much calmer, less volatile person. You must recognize anger is something you can control. 40 Make changes to your lifestyle and attitudes, and you will find that you will turn angry much less often, if at all.
A. Don’t dismiss anger as a bad emotion.
B. You need to learn not to respond at all.
C. This applies to work, day-to-day life, and relationships.
D. A much better way of facing up to anger is to identify the root cause.
E. Realizing that no one is perfect is a good start to avoiding getting angry.
F. They both used that anger to motivate themselves to fight for their rights.
G. That control will come once you identify what is at the root of your anger.

39. 根据后文“Once you know why you get mad, then it is possible to deal with the cause. (一旦你知道你为什么生气，那么就有可能处理原因)”提到查明为什么生气，即找出生气的原因。故D选项“面对愤怒的一个更好的方法是找出根本原因”符合语境，故选D。
40. 根据上文“You must recognize anger is something you can control.(你必须认识到愤怒是你可以控制的)”以及后文“Make changes to your lifestyle and attitudes, and you will find that you will turn angry much less often, if at all.(改变一下你的生活方式和态度，你就会发现你生气的次数少多了，如果还会生气的话)”可知，上文提到了愤怒是可以控制的，可知本句说明控制的愤怒的方法。故G选项“一旦你找到了你愤怒的根源，这种控制就会到来”符合语境，故选G。

It seemed too hard to 44 all the gardens and no one could be bothered to make them better because everyone’s garden was 45 terrible. No one felt it was urgent to 46 anything. Then a gardener named Bill moved in. Bill was a 47 , hard-working and patient man who started working in the garden as soon as he 48 in the street. He took his lawn mower (割草机) out to cut back the grass and pulled out all of the weeds. Finally, he took up his gardening and started 49 his hedges, making them look like flowers, plants, stones, balls, etc.

One by one, the neighbors started to put in more 51 in their own gardens and the sounds of lawn mowers could be heard again. After a few months, the street was 52 from a dirty, unappealing collection of houses to a beautiful avenue that wouldn’t be out of place in a stylish magazine.
One person’s action showed everyone what could be achieved with a little 53 work. It’s easy for us to 54 the environment around us because no one else cares about it. Remember what you positively do not only 55 yourself, but also results in a change to the whole world.

第二节（满分 25分）
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。
Jared was a boy who was raised by his single father, Steve, and his grandfather Michael. Although he didn’t have much in life, Jared was grateful for what he had. He enjoyed living a simple life with his dad and grandfather.
After school, Jared would often go into his grandfather’s garage and they would repair his car together. Jared was a skilled mechanic and it was all thanks to his grandfather’s patient teaching. And Jared wished one day he would open a car repair shop using his grandfather’s garage. Michael supported it.
Unfortunately, Michael died when Jared was 14. Jared continued to look after his grandfather’s car. One day, his dad entered his room and handed him the key to his grandfather’s car. “Your grandpa wanted me to give this to you on your eighteenth birthday. He said you could decide what to do with the car—either sell it or keep it,” his dad said.
Jared smiled. He was thankful that he now had a car. And he was happy it was a special car that he and his grandfather maintained together. “I’ll keep it! I don’t have to take the bus to school anymore. I can just drive!” Jared replied excitedly.
Then Steve returned to his own room. He hoped Jared would not sell the car. And he hoped someday Jared would find the envelope Michael had secretly left for him. The envelope was put under the driver’s seat of the car. In the envelope, Michael left Jared $15,000. And he had left a note. It read, “I knew you wouldn’t sell my car. Thank you, Jared! I hope the money can help you. Be a good man!”
The following day, when Jared arrived at school, many students saw his car. They didn’t think highly of it because it was old and noisy. But Jared valued it. Later that day, after school, he couldn’t start the car. There appeared to be a problem with it.
注意：

Paragraph 2: Confused, Jared quickly opened the envelope. ____________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Jared decided to repair the car himself. So he looked for the tools to fix the car. After finding the tool, he opened the front cover of the car. Then he checked the parts one by one and finally found that the engine wires had been burned out. He rewired the wires as his grandfather had taught him. Then he tried to start the car and finally he succeeded. He felt very happy and excited. He found that the inside of the car was not very tidy, so he decided to clean it. When he went to clean the driver’s seat, he found an unopened envelope.
Confused, Jared quickly opened the envelope. In the envelope, there was a letter and some money. Then he opened the letter and read the contents. The letter was written by his grandfather Michael. The letter said that Jared wouldn’t sell the car and the grandfather hoped the money would help Jared. After reading the letter, he was moved to tears and cherished the car even more.
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Jared自小跟父亲和祖父后面长大，在祖父的耐心教导下他学会修汽车。祖父去世后，父亲在Jared 18岁的时候告诉他祖父送他一辆汽车，Jared在一次修车后清理车座位的时候，发现祖父留的一封信和一些钱，读完信后他备受感动。

On the day he almost died, Kimbal Musk had food on the brain. The Internet startup talent and restaurateur had just arrived in Jackson Hole from a conference where chef Jamie Oliver had spoken about the benefits of healthy eating. This was something Musk thought about a lot- how he might make a difference to the food industry—but beyond expanding his farm-to-table movement along with his restaurant, Musk hadn’t yet broken the code. Then he went sailing down a snowy slope (坡) and fell over, breaking his neck. The left side of his body was paralyzed.
Musk eventually made a full recovery, but it involved spending two months on his back, which gave him plenty of time to come up with a plan. Since then, he has launched an initiative to put “learning gardens” in public schools across America; attracted Generation Z to the farming profession by changing shipping containers into high-tech, data-driven, year-round farms; and this year, is kicking off a new campaign to create one million at-home gardens.
Aimed at reaching low- income families, the Million Gardens Movement was inspired by the pandemic, as both a desire to feel more connected to nature and food insecurity have been at the forefront of so many people’s lives. “We were getting a lot of inquiries about gardening from people that had never gardened before,” says Musk. “People were looking to garden for a bunch of reasons: to supplement their budget, to improve the nutritional quality of their diets, or just to cure the boredom that came with the lockdown.”
The program offers free garden kits that can be grown indoors or outdoors, and will be distributed through schools that Musk’s non-profit, Big Green, has already partnered with. It also offers free courses on how to get the garden growing and fresh seeds and materials for the changing growing seasons. “I grew up in the projects when I was young, in what we now call food deserts,” says EVE, one of the many celebrities who have teamed up with the organization to encourage people to pick up a free garden. “What I love about this is that it's not difficult. We are all able to grow something.”
24. What inspired Musk to be devoted to food industry
A. An accident. B. Jamie Oliver’s speech.
C. The pandemic. D. The farm-to-table movement.
25. What can we learn about the Million Gardens Movement
A. It has mainly attracted young generations. B. It has just accomplished its target.
C. It may be stimulated by a lack of food security. D. It increases economic burdens for the poor.
26. Which of the following best describes Musk
A. Charitable. B. Honest. C. Flexible. D. Strict.
27. Why is EVE taken as an example
A. To demonstrate the program to be non-profit. B. To share his experience in a food desert.
C. To encourage people to start a free garden. D. To clarify the reason why he loves a garden.
C
“What kind of rubbish are you ” This question might normally cause anger, but in Shanghai it has brought about weary groans over the past week. On July 1st, the city introduced strict trash-sorting regulations that are expected to be used as a model for our country. Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss it into specific public bins. They must do so at scheduled times, when monitors are present to ensure compliance (服从) and to inquire into the nature of one’s rubbish.
Violators face the prospect of fines and worse. They could be hit with fines of up to 200 yuan ($29). For repeat violators, the city can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder for them to obtain bank loans or even buy train tickets.
Shanghai authorities are responding to an obvious environmental problem. It generates 9 million tons of garbage a year, more than London’s annual output and rising quickly. But like other cities in China, it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on trash pickers to sift through the waste, plucking out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up. China churns out 80 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks a year.
Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are frustrated by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or hazardous (有害的), the distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules surrounding food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bin, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss it by hand. Most annoying are the short windows for dumping trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out; no one wants to look bad.
28. Which definition fits the underlined word “Violators” in Paragraph 2 most
A. People who don’t sort the waste. B. People who don’t inquire about the nature of rubbish.
C. People who don’t follow the regulations. D. People who don’t throw the trash on time.
29. What are the residents dissatisfied with most
A. Short scheduled time for throwing away the trash.
B. Complicated distinctions among the four categories of trash.
C. Being observed by monitors when tossing the garbage.
D. Being fined for improper behaviors.
30. What is the author’s attitude towards the trash-sorting regulations according to the text
A. Doubtful. B. Neutral. C. Indifferent. D. Sympathetic.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. A Restart of Trash-sorting B. What Kind of Rubbish Are You
C. A New Time of Garbage Classification D. A Recycling System Is Needed in Shanghai
D
Officials of Detroit, Michigan, have equipped apiece of road with new technology designed to charge electric vehicles (EVs) on the path. The roadway is meant to serve as a demonstration project for the technology, which could be expanded to larger road systems.
The system uses a series of copper wires placed underneath the road. These wires have the ability to send electricity through a magnetic field to charge an EV’s battery. Charging can happen while the car is driving or sitting above the equipment. Elect re on says the electric road system is safe for people and animals walking over it and does not harm drivers.
The technology was created by Electreon, a developer of wireless charging solutions for EVs. Stefan Tongur, Electreon’s vice president of business development, told The Associated Press EVs require special equipment to receive the wireless signal. “The technology is smart,” Tongur said, and “knows who you are...”
The electrified road stretches about one half-kilometer. It will be used to test and improve the technology in preparation for wider releases. Tongur said the project aims to “demonstrate how wireless charging unlocks widespread EV adoption, addressing limited range, grid (电网) limitations, and battery size and costs.” He looks forward to a future in which, in his words, “EVs are the norm, not the exception.”
Michigan’s Department of Transportation (DOT) signed a five-year agreement with Electreon to develop the roadway charging system. Officials have said they plan to build another electrified stretch of road in another part of the city. Michigan transportation officials say the wireless-charging roadway project has helped position the state and city of Detroit as national leaders in EV technology. “In Michigan, we want to stay ahead of the curve,” Michigan DOT Director Bradley C. Wieferich told the AP.
32. What is the new technology intended to do
A. Provide power for EVs. B. Demonstrate a project.
C. Expand road systems. D. Improve EVs’ batteries.
33. What can we learn about the electric road system
A. People and animals may get an electric shock near it.
B. EVs are charged through contact with its copper wires.
C. It charges EVs only if they stay still on the equipment.
D. A special device is needed to pick up its wireless signals.
34. Which of the following can best replace the underlined phrase “stay ahead of the curve”
A. Develop more smoothly. B. Make progress in the industry.
C. Take the lead in the field. D. Achieve a goal ahead of time.
35. What is Bradley’s attitude towards the project
A. Skeptical. B. Tolerant. C. Favorable. D. Objective.

How to Stop Being Angry
When you are angry, you make ill-considered decisions that you will probably regret. What can be done to control anger and prevent it from ruining our lives Here are some ways you can try.
You need to change your attitude. Accept sometimes things do go wrong and that people are not always lovely. 36 Also, you need to accept not everyone has the same standards as you, nor will they behave in the same way you would in a given situation.
37 There are occasions when anger can be directed in such a way as to achieve great things. Martin Luther King and Gandhi was angry about what they saw as injustice. 38
It is beneficial to stop trying to manage your anger. Anger management used to be promoted as a way of dealing with anger, but all that happens is that the anger is suppressed. 39 Once you know why you get mad, then it is possible to deal with the cause.
Don’t take the easy way when you get angry. We all want to throw something, hit something (or even someone), or scream when angry. A reaction like that is the easy way. By learning control, you can become a much calmer, less volatile person. You must recognize anger is something you can control. 40 Make changes to your lifestyle and attitudes, and you will find that you will turn angry much less often, if at all.
A. Don’t dismiss anger as a bad emotion.
B. You need to learn not to respond at all.

Jared was a boy who was raised by his single father, Steve, and his grandfather Michael. Although he didn’t have much in life, Jared was grateful for what he had. He enjoyed living a simple life with his dad and grandfather.
After school, Jared would often go into his grandfather’s garage and they would repair his car together. Jared was a skilled mechanic and it was all thanks to his grandfather’s patient teaching. And Jared wished one day he would open a car repair shop using his grandfather’s garage. Michael supported it.
Unfortunately, Michael died when Jared was 14. Jared continued to look after his grandfather’s car. One day, his dad entered his room and handed him the key to his grandfather’s car. “Your grandpa wanted me to give this to you on your eighteenth birthday. He said you could decide what to do with the car—either sell it or keep it,” his dad said.
Jared smiled. He was thankful that he now had a car. And he was happy it was a special car that he and his grandfather maintained together. “I’ll keep it! I don’t have to take the bus to school anymore. I can just drive!” Jared replied excitedly.
Then Steve returned to his own room. He hoped Jared would not sell the car. And he hoped someday Jared would find the envelope Michael had secretly left for him. The envelope was put under the driver’s seat of the car. In the envelope, Michael left Jared $15,000. And he had left a note. It read, “I knew you wouldn’t sell my car. Thank you, Jared! I hope the money can help you. Be a good man!”
The following day, when Jared arrived at school, many students saw his car. They didn’t think highly of it because it was old and noisy. But Jared valued it. Later that day, after school, he couldn’t start the car. There appeared to be a problem with it.
