way, I could take part in it in Chicago.
W: That’s a good idea. I’ll try. Let me talk with our technical support staff, and I’ll get
back to you soon. Meanwhile, go ahead and book the 4:30 flight. In a worst-case, we’ll

(Text 10)
M: Hello, everyone. First let me introduce myself. My name is John Barker, and I work
at an institution. As most of you know, I’m here to talk about students’ summer jobs. In
many parts of the world, university students work in the summer. They need the money,
and they can get some working experience. Traditionally, they get jobs as servers,
cashiers, and lifeguards at swimming pools.
These days, however, more and more students are working at dotcoms. Dotcoms are
Internet-based companies which offer goods and services online. Today’s young
people already know a lot about computers, and they can quickly learn more. The pay is
usually much better than at the traditional summer jobs.
There are other advantages besides the pay. Students see dotcom jobs as a good start on
their future. In addition to providing good experience, the work is also enjoyable for
most. On top of this, their co-workers treat them with respect.
Dotcoms ar e new and need new ways of thinking. Imagination is more important than
formal qualifications. So some students are even quitting school to start their own
dotcoms.

B
I have traveled to many places—the jungles where the water is unsafe; places with the
wildest animals. Friends always ask why I, a middle-aged woman with no athletic talent,
go to such places. I never know how to answer - Just I want to put my toes in the mud of
adventure?
I stopped traveling nine years ago after I suffered a stroke (中风) caused by a disease,
APS. To prevent another stroke, my doctors told me that traveling to remote places
without medical help would be risky. A slip on a damp temple step, even a slight traffic
accident, would no longer be mere annoyances.
My return to travel after my stroke came in baby steps—a feast in Texas; a visit to my
mom in Virginia. They all came back, the freedom, the excitement and the fresh air.
The first real test of my travel courage came nine months after my stroke when I
joined my husband in visiting China. After we had toured a temple, Jack wanted to ride
down on a toboggan（平底雪橇）. Before the stroke it would have seemed like fun for me.
But now I stepped back. I feared. My mind screamed warnings of a fall or a crash. Then
gathering confidence from nowhere, I lowered myself and took the flying toboggan ride,
which marked my adventure travel’s coming back. Since then, I’ve dared to take
challenges and have challenged many places.
But I watch my medicine like an eagle. I get my blood tested. I weigh the risks. Then,
if I decide it’s okay, like that toboggan ride down the mountain, I just jump in, let go and
enjoy the ride. I think I travel for hoping to broaden my world and keep me connected with
friends and families. Most of all, saying "yes” to travel is related to my APS. If I let myself
be afraid to travel,then my APS will win.
24. How do the author’ friends react to her adventures?

B. They don’t understand her.

26 . What does the visit in China mean to the author?

Morten Petersen used to live in a windowless basement flat in Copenhagen. If he
didn’t get out in the daytime, he would lose track of time and start becoming annoyed and
depressed. “When you are living in a basement with only artificial light, it becomes very
clear that something is lacking” he says. “It’s an emotional, physical and mental thing all
combined.”
You can say that again. Our lifestyles have rapidly changed with light. Prior to the
invention of gas lighting at the turn of the 19th century, the only artificial light we could
rely on was from flickering firelight, candles or whale-oil lamps. People also spent many
more of their waking hours outside. Over time, the technology of artificial light has been
advancing, thus changing the way people live and work.
Today, the average westerner spends 90 per cent of their life indoors. That means we
are getting less light during the day and being exposed to more light at night. This pattern
is increasingly being linked to disturbed sleep and circadian rhythms — 24-hour changes
in our biology and behavior — with consequences for our physical and mental health.
Meanwhile, getting too little sunlight is contributing to vitamin D shortage and may be
weakening our immune and cardiovascular systems as well.
Our changed relationship with the sun is greatly affecting our biology. That’s why
people like Petersen are being taken in by researchers to help investigate how much
damage we do by shying away from the light, and just how much light we need. The good
news is that researchers are finding even small increases in your exposure to bright light
will bring about great changes to your health.
28. Why is Morten Petersen mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To explain a reason.
B. To state an opinion.
C. To introduce the topic.
D. To offer background information.
29. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 2?
A. People’s outdoor activities.
B. Relationship between people.
第 7页 共 11页
C. The origin of gas lighting.
D. The influence of light.
30. What is the consequence of too much exposure to indoor light?
A. A small increase in vitamin D.
B. Physical and mental disorders.
C. More time spent outdoors.
D. More quality sleep.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Come out for more sunlight!
B. Never live in a basement!
C. Lifestyles have changed greatly.
D. Artificial light makes a difference.

Like Marty McFly’s banana-powered DeLorean (德罗宁时光机 ), a future
generation of flying cars could tip over the idea that all flying is bad for the climate. Firms
such as the Rolls Royce, Lilium and Vertical Aerospace have argued that flying cars could
be a green mode of transport despite the large amounts of energy they need to get off the
ground.
One study into the environmental impact of such vertical(垂直的 ) takeoff and
landing (VTOL) vehicles suggests their backers could be right — at least in some
circumstances. Gregory Keoleian at the University of Michigan and colleagues found that
VTOLs, if they ever took to the skies, would produce 6 per cent less emissions than an
electric car over a 100-kilometre journey. “The VTOL is particularly energy intensive (集
中的) during takeoff and landing. The flight phase,however, is much more efficient, and
over long distances, makes fully loaded VTOLs competitive with ground based vehicles,"
says Keoleian. Flying cars would also have the advantage of being able to fly in a straight
line, bypassing meandering routes.
However, don’t act immediately. The difference was only very small and there are
several big catches. Flying cars don't really exist yet — they are only at the prototype (蓝
本) stage. The prototypes rely on electric power and act as a taxi, but another issue is that
the study is a bit of an apples-for-oranges comparison.
The researchers assume that each electric car carries an average of 1.54 passengers,
while the passengers and drivers of the flying car are three and one. The reason for this
assumption is that the flying car will provide a shared taxi service like UberPool, but in
fact electric cars can do the same. In addition, due to the need for energy during take-off,
第 8页 共 11页
the emissions from the flight below 35 km will be more than those of electric vehicles.
Keoleian and his team conclude flying cars could have a minor role in sustainable
transport. But even if they do prove to be green, they have a lot of other hurdles to cross
first.
32. Why do firms like the Rolls Royce argue for flying care?
A. They are banana-powered.
B. They are energy-saving.
C. They run faster.
D. They need less energy to take off.
33. What does Keoleian’s study find about the VTOL vehicles?
A. They are nearly perfect.
B. They are able to fly in a straight line.
C. They can win out over long distances-
D. They can save 6% energy than electric cars.
34. What does the underlined word "catches" in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Problems. B. Advantages.
C. Differences, D. Efforts.
35. What is the authors attitude to flying cars?
A. Doubtful B. Supportive.
C. Disapproving. D. Neutral,

Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words
come from ourselves or someone else. The positive and negative effects are just as
lasting.
36 We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really
shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a
healthy habit. This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve
problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk
tends to be negative. 37____
Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will

Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something
we once said. We remember unkind words said to us as well. Before speaking, we
should always ask ourselves: 39 If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then
it’s better left unsaid.
Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive
encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊)
and motivate others to do their best. 40 Will we use our words to hurt or to heal?
The choice is ours.
A. Is it loving?
B. How should I say it?
C. We all talk to ourselves sometimes.
D. Negative words destroy all those things.
E. Generally people like positive and pleasant words.
F. However, critical language may cause anger and defense.
G. So we should only speak encouraging words to ourselves.
