【1题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中的“Hotel
management
asked
director
Stanley
Kubrick
not
to
show
room
217
(featured
clearly
in
the
book),
concerned
that
future
guests
would
avoid
staying
there.
A
nonexistent
room
number
237
was
used
instead.(酒店管理层要求主管Stanley
Kubrick（不要展示217号房间（书中有明确说明），担心未来的客人会避免住在那里。取而代之的是不存在的237号房间)”可知，因为217号房间在小说中有明确说明，酒店管理层害怕未来的客人不住，不住就赚不到钱。由此可知，用237号房间代替是因为经济原因。故选D项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“Take
a

Hotel和其他三家酒店的不同之处在于它出现在不止一部电影中，其它三家酒店只出现在一部电影中。故选C项。
B
All
Luciano
Faggiano
wanted
when
he
purchased
the
seemingly
unremarkable
building
was
to
open
a
restaurant.
The
only
problem
was
the
toilet.
Sewage
(污物)
kept
backing
up.
So
Mr.
Faggiano
asked
his
two
sons
to
help
him
dig
a
trench
(沟)
and
uncover
the
problem.
He
predicted
the
job
would
take
about
a
week.
“We
found
some
underground
rooms,
so
we
kept
digging,”
said
Mr.
Faggiano,
60.
One
week
quickly
passed,
as
the
father
and
sons
discovered
a
tomb
of
the
Messapians,
who
lived
centuries
ago.
Soon,
the
family
discovered
a
room
used
to
store
grain
by
the
ancient
Romans.
Mr.
Faggiano
did
not
initially
tell
his
wife
about
the
extent
of
the
work.
His
wife
soon
became
suspicious
(怀疑的).“We
had
all
these
dirty
clothes,
every
day,”
she
said.
“I
didn't
understand
what
was
going
on.”
After
watching
the
Faggiano
men
pull
away
debris
(碎片)
in
the
back
seat
of
the
family
car,
neighbors
also
became
suspicious
and
informed
the
authorities.
Officials
arrived
and
stopped
the
digging,
warning
Mr.
Faggiano
against
operating
an
unapproved
archaeological
(考古的)
work
site.
Mr.
Faggiano
responded
that
he
was
just
looking
for
a
sewage
pipe.
A
year
passed.
Finally,
Mr.
Faggiano
was
allowed
to
continue
his
search
for
the
sewage
pipe
on
condition
that
officials
observed
the
work.
An
underground
treasure
house
came
into
view,
as
the
family
uncovered
ancient
vases,
an
ancient
ring
with
symbols
and
more.
Today,
the
building
is
the
Faggiano
Museum,
an
independent
archaeological
museum
authorized
by
the
government.
Mr.
Faggiano
is
now
satisfied
with
his
museum,
but
he
has
not
forgotten
about
the
restaurant.
A
few
years
later,
he
finally
found
his
sewage
pipe.
It
was,
indeed,
broken.
He
has
since
bought
another
building
and
is
again
planning
for
a
restaurant.
“I
still
want
it,”
he
said
of
the
restaurant.
“I'm
very
stubborn.”

【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了，Luciano
Faggiano买下一座看似不起眼的建筑时，只想开一家餐馆，但厕所有问题，他就想挖一条沟，找出问题所在，挖沟的时候就挖出了一座生活在几个世纪前的迈萨皮安人的坟墓。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段中的“The
only
problem
was
the
toilet.
Sewage
(污物)
kept
backing
up.
So
Mr.
Faggiano
asked
his
two
sons

him
dig
a
trench
(沟)
and
uncover

【5题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“One
week
quickly
passed,
as
the
father
and
sons
discovered
a
tomb
of
the
Messapians,

centuries
ago.”（一个星期很快过去了，父子们发现了一座生活在几个世纪前的迈萨皮安人的坟墓。），可知Faggiano先生和儿子们发现了一座古墓。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段中的“Officials
arrived
and
stopped
the
digging,
warning
Mr.
Faggiano
against
operating
an
unapproved
archaeological
(考古的)
work
site.”（官员们赶到并停止了挖掘工作，警告Faggiano不要对一个未经批准的考古工地施工。），可知因为此古墓没有得到政府的许可，所以官员让Faggiano停止挖掘。故选C项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“Today,
the
building
is
the
Faggiano
Museum,
an
independent
archaeological
museum
authorized
by
the
government.”（如今，这座建筑就是Faggiano博物馆，这是一个由政府授权的独立考古博物馆。），可知Faggiano把他买的厕所有问题的第一栋楼变成了考古博物馆。故选D项。
C
Electric
cars
are
getting
cheaper
and
their
sales
are
on
the
rise,
but
their
future
success
may
depend
on
abandoning
a
key
ingredient:
the
heavy
metal
cobalt
(钴).
The
mineral
is
used
in
lithium-ion
(锂离子)
batteries
that
power
most
electric
cars,
and
demand
for
it
is
steadily
increasing.
A
new
analysis
by
Elsa
Olivetti
at
the
Massachusetts
Institute
of
Technology
has
found
that
there
may
be
cobalt
shortages
if
we
don't
start
refining
(提炼)
and
recycling
it
more
efficiently
or
in
greater
quantities.
She
estimates
that
global
demand
for
cobalt
will
rise
to
between
235,000
and
430,000
tonnes
by
2030
—
an
amount
that
is
at
least
1.6
times
the
world's
current
ability
to
refine
the
metal,
as
of
2016
figures.
Cobalt
is
often
produced
as
a
by-product
of
copper
or
nickel
mining.
It
is
expensive,
at
around
$33,000
per
tonne,
and
also
comes
with
a
human
cost.
Most
of
the
world's
supply
—
60
per
cent—
comes
from
the
Democratic
Republic
of
the
Congo,
where
mining
has
been
linked
to
child
labour
and
deaths.
The
new
analysis
suggests
short-term
cobalt
supply
is
adequate,
but
that
more
mining
exploration,
such
as
in
the
ocean,
is
required.
In
addition,
we
will
need
to
speed
up
cobalt
recycling
by
recovering
it
from
batteries
in
unusable
electric
cars,
laptops
and
mobile
phones.
Another
option
is
to
shift
to
batteries
that
use
less
cobalt,
or
none
at
all.
Elon
Musk's
car
firm
Tesla
is
in
talks
with
battery
manufacturer
CATL
to
use
entirely
cobalt-free
batteries
in
its
China-made
cars.
Lithium-ion
batteries
in
electric
cars
commonly
use
either
lithium
nickel
cobalt
aluminium
oxide
or
lithium
nickel
manganese
cobalt
oxide
for
their
ability
to
provide
a
high
energy
density
—
a
key
factor
in
how
far
an
electric
car
can
go
on
a
single
charge.
For
short-range
cars
made
and
sold
in
China,
Tesla
claims
that
it
will
instead
use
lithium
iron
phosphate
(LiFePO
4
)
(磷酸铁锂)
batteries,
which
are
much
cheaper
and
have
a
longer
lifespan
(寿命).
Besides,
they
have
less
of
an
environmental
impact
compared
with
those
needing
cobalt.
The
disadvantage
is
that
they
tend
to
have
a
lower
energy
density,
reducing
how
far
a
car
can
travel
without
needing
to
be
charged.
LiFePO
4
batteries
are
already
widely
used
by
other
Chinese
firms,
including
BYD,
the
world's
biggest
electric
car
manufacturer.
If
other
electric
car
manufacturers
follow
internationally,
we
may
be
able
to
reduce
our
dependence
on
a
limited
mineral
resource.
8.

is
Elsa
Olivetti's
prediction?
A.
Cobalt
will
be
needed
badly.

Cobalt
will
be
recycled
efficiently.

Cobalt
will
be
refined
in

way.
D.
Cobalt
will

by
other
heavy
metals.

这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了，电动汽车越来越便宜，销量也在上升，但未来电动汽车的成功可能取决于放弃一种关键成分：重金属钴。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段中的“A
new
analysis
by
Elsa
Olivetti
at
the
Massachusetts
Institute
of
Technology
has
found
that
there
may
be
cobalt
shortages
if
we
don't
start
refining
(提炼)
and
recycling
it
more
efficiently
or
in
greater
quantities.”（麻省理工学院Elsa
Olivetti的一项新分析发现，如果我们不开始提炼并更有效地回收利用大量钴，可能会出现钴短缺。），可知Elsa
Olivetti预测我们会出现钴短缺，即我们急需钴。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“In
addition,
we
will
need
to
speed
up
cobalt
recycling
by
recovering
it
from
batteries
in
unusable
electric
cars,
laptops
and
mobile
phones.”（此外，我们还需要加快钴的回收，从无法使用的电动车、笔记本电脑和手机的电池中回收。），可知人们可以充分利用各种废弃电子产品的废弃电池回收利用钴。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段中的“For
short-range
cars
made
and
sold
in
China,
Tesla
claims
that
it
will
instead
use
lithium
iron
phosphate
(LiFePO
4
)
(磷酸铁锂)
batteries,
which
are
much
cheaper
and
have
a
longer
lifespan
(寿命).
Besides,
they
have
less
of
an
environmental
impact
compared
with
those
needing
cobalt.”（对于在中国制造和销售的短程汽车，特斯拉声称将改用LiFePO
4电池，这种电池更便宜，寿命更长。此外，与需要钴的相比，它们对环境的影响更小。），可知LiFePO
4更加环保。故选B项。
11题详解】
主旨大意题。由第一段中的“Electric
cars
are
getting
cheaper
and
their
sales
are
on
the
rise,
but
their
future
success
may
depend
on
abandoning
a
key
ingredient:
the
heavy
metal
cobalt
(钴).”（电动汽车越来越便宜，销量也在上升，但它们未来的成功可能取决于放弃一种关键成分：重金属钴。）和第一段后文讲的“Elsa
Olivetti预测我们会出现钴短缺”，第二段讲“钴开采很贵，与刚果童工和死亡有关”，第三段讲“钴短缺的建议解决方案”，第四段讲“钴的替代品LiFePO
4，它便宜、寿命长，但能量密度较低”，最后一段讲“LiFePO
4在中国其他公司的广泛使用，作者希望其他电动汽车制造商也用LiFePO
4”，可知未来电动汽车的成功取决于放弃钴，未来会出现钴短缺，钴不仅贵，还不环保，LiFePO虽有优点，但也有缺点，不是所有电动汽车制造商都用LiFePO，因此本文讲的是电动汽车用不用钴的问题，D项“电动汽车能不依赖钴吗？”为短文的最佳标题。故选D项。
D
Teenage
sailors
have
been
making
headlines.
A
young
person
alone
in
a
dangerous
situation
attracts
attention
—
and
sponsors.
Young
sailors
also
attract
divided
opinions.
For
example,
Jessica
Watson
was
asked
by
the
local
government
to
cancel
her
voyage;
yet
the
Prime
Minister
called
her
“a
hero
for
young
Australians
”when
she
returned.
It
seems
there
is
confusion
about
the
competence
and
independence
of
young
people.
One
misunderstanding
at
least
should
be
cleared
up:
children
are
not
going
to
sea
in
an
unregulated
way.
Consider
the
case
of
the
Dutch
girl,
Laura
Dekker.
When
her
father
agreed
to
her
making
a
solo
(独自的)
voyage
at
age
13,
the
Dutch
Council
for
Child
Care
prevented
it.
The
World
Sailing
Speed
Record
Council
also
moved
to
discourage
very
young
sailors
by
abolishing
their
age-based
records
in
early
2009.
So
community
control
of
children
under
16
years
already
happens.
But
the
case
for
controlling
older
teenagers
as
if
they
were
children
is
weak.
Teenage
brains,
so
the
popular
psychologists
tell
us,
are
likely
to
make
faulty
judgements.
But
such
generalisations
often
do
not
apply
to
specific
individuals.
Between
the
ages
of
14
and
18,
teenagers
vary
greatly
in
their
abilities.
The
amount
of
independence
each
is
allowed
should
be
determined
not
simply
by
their
age
but
by
negotiations
with
the
relevant,
responsible
adults.
Some
teens
are
certainly
inexperienced
and
capable
of
childish
mistakes,
but
the
ones
who
attempt
dangerous
journeys
normally
do
so
by
winning
the
confidence
of
hard-headed
and
well-qualified
adult
supporters.
But
it
is
also
wrong
to
think
that
any
16-year-old
can
gain
achievements
as
unusual
as
Jessica
Watson's.
Watson
seems
to
suggest
they
can
when
she
calls
herself
“an
ordinary
girl
who
had
a
dream”.
Her
intention
is
to
encourage
teenagers
but
this
can
have
the
opposite
effect
of
making
them
feel
incapable
because
remarkable
accomplishments
are
beyond
them.
Should
all
teens
have
such
dreams?
In
reality,
individuals
face
varying
circumstances
that
restrict
their
dreams.
Teenage
sailors
should
not
be
judged
by
preconceived
(事
先
形
成
的)
views
about
young
people.
But
nor
should
“ordinary”
teenagers
feel
pressure
to
achieve
extraordinary
personal
goals.
In
fact,
I
believe
the
example
of
solo
sailing
over
stresses
individualism.
The
teenage
years
are
when
most
of
us
“ordinary”
people
learn
that
we
can
achieve
great
things
in
cooperation
with
others.
12.

do
we

Jessica
Watson?
A.
She
made
a
voyage
successfully.
B.

wants
to
attract
potential
sponsors.
C.
She
was
discouraged
by
the
Prime
Minister.

government.
13.

does
the
author
mention
the
Dutch
girl?
A.
To
praise
her
for
her
bravery.
B.
To
stress
she
was
overprotected.
C.
To
show
community
control
of
teenage
sailors.
D.
To
explain
why
there
is
a
misunderstanding
of
teenage
sailors.
14.
What
does
the
author
think
of
teenagers'
independence?
A.
It
is
closely
related
to
their
age.
B.
It
often
leads
to
faulty
judgements.
C.
It
is
developed
through
independent
journeys.
D.
It
differs
hugely
from
individual
to
individual.
15.

does
the
author
encourage

A
【解析】
这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了独自一人环游世界的年轻人经常成为头条新闻。一个年轻人Jessica
Watson成为了澳大利亚年轻人的英雄，为此各方有着不同的看法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“For

to
cancel
her

yet
the
Prime
Minister
called
her
“a

”when
she
returned.”（例如，当地政府要求杰西卡·沃森取消航程；然而当她回国时，总理称她为“澳大利亚年轻人的英雄”。）由此判断出，她的航行非常的成功。故选A项。
13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“When
her

Sailing
Speed
Record
Council)取消了以年龄为基础的记录，以此来打击年轻海员的积极性。因此，对16岁以下的儿童，社区控制已经开始实施。）可知，作者通过举例的目的是为了告知我们：对16岁以下的儿童，社区控制已经开始实施。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Between
the
ages

【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“In
fact,
I
believe
the
example
of

The
teenage

are
when
most
of
us

year,
a
Finnish
company
invented
a
new
wrist
strap
(腕带)
system

“hold-n-go”
state
with
the
poles.
C.
As
with
any
sport,
it
is
always
important
to
have
the
right
equipment.
D.
There
are
also
many
Nordic
walking
clubs
that
offer
regular
weekly
walks.
E.
This
strengthens
your
arms,
chest,
back
and
makes
your
body
more
flexible.
F.
The
real
breakthrough
of
Nordic
walking
as
a
practiced
exercise
came
in
1997.
G.
It
is
now
progressing
well
into
other
countries
such

【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了海藻燃料作为一种生物燃料，安全环保。
【36题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：每年收获海藻2500万吨，大部分用于人类消费。此处缺乏谓语，由时间状语Each
year可知，本句表示经常发生的事情，时态用一般现在时，主语25
million
tons
of
seaweed和谓语harvest是被动关系，用一般现在时的被动语态，主语25
million
tons
of
seaweed单数，谓语也用单数形式。故填is
harvested。
【37题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：丹麦科学家最近宣布，他们使用海藻燃料为汽车提供动力，实现了80公里每小时。they
had
used
a
seaweed
fuel
to
power
an
automobile已有谓语had
used且无连词，此处用非谓语形式，主语they和动词achieve是逻辑上的主谓关系，应用现在分词（doing）表主动，作状语。故填achieving。
【38题详解】
考查最高级。句意：生物燃料是当今使用的最大的清洁可再生能源之一。固定用法one
of
the
+形容词最高级+名词，意为“……之一”，此处用形容词最高级作定语。故填largest。
【39题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：它们由垃圾或种植糖和玉米等农作物的农副产品产生，有助于能源安全，同时也减少碳排放。本句已有谓语contribute且无连词，此处用非谓语形式，主语they（指生物能源）和动词produce是逻辑上的动宾关系，应用过去分词表被动，作状语，首字母大写。故填Produced。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意：它们由垃圾或种植糖和玉米等农作物的农副产品产生，有助于能源安全，同时也减少碳排放。介词to后用名词（短语）作宾语，此处用不可数名词security。故填security。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在欧洲的交通部门，大量可再生能源驱动的解决方案都使用这些陆基生物燃料。固定搭配a
(vast)
quantity
of
+可数名词/不可数名词（大量的……）。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：然而，它们需要土地、肥料和灌溉资源来制造这些生物燃料，因此欧洲主要着眼于海洋生物燃料的来源——即藻类和海藻，它们只需要海水和阳光就可以迅速生长。由语境可知，此处表目的，应用动词不定式（to
do）表目的，做目的状语。故填to
make。
【43题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意：然而，它们需要土地、肥料和灌溉资源来制造这些生物燃料，因此欧洲主要着眼于海洋生物燃料的来源——即藻类和海藻，它们只需要海水和阳光就可以迅速生长。此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词是algae
and
seaweed，指物，在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which。故填which。
【44题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：然而，要将海藻燃料变成现实，需要“大规模”的供应。固定搭配turn…into…（把……变成……）。故填into。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：他的目标是围绕海藻生物燃料创建一个完整的产业，包括养殖、生产和测试——特别是卡车和船舶等重型机械。此处用副词specifically（特别）作状语修饰整个句子。故填specifically。

I
was
sitting
at
the
dinner
table
with
my
family.
Without
warning,
my
brother
smiled
and
turned
down
the
kitchen
lights
so
we
all
were
sitting
in
darkness.
Then
my
mom
walked
over,
carrying
a
big,
chocolate
cake
decorated
with
red
icing.
The
cake
was
lit
up
with
ten
birthday
candles,
and
everyone
started
singing
to
me!
My
favorite
part
of
birthdays
is
getting
the
chance
to
make
a
wish.
Sometimes
wishes
come
true,
and
sometimes
they
don’t,
but
the
fun
of
waiting
and
hoping
makes
me
happy.
It’s
like
magic
is
in
the
air
or
something.
Maybe
I’m
too
old
to
believe
in
magic
and
wishes,
but
I
don’t
care.
I
still
do
it.
I
closed
my
eyes,
made
a
wish,
and
blew.
My
grandparents
clapped
and
my
little
sister
stuck
her
finger
into
the
clouds
of
icing.
She’s
always
doing
stupid
things
like
that.
Mom
took
the
cake
away
to
cut
it
into
slices.
She
gave
me
the
first
piece,
and
it
was
awesome.
Chocolate
with
vanilla
(香草味的)cream
in
the
middle-delicious.
Ding-dong!
The
doorbell
rang.
We
weren’t
expecting
anybody
else.
"Why
don’t
you
go
answer
the
door,
kiddo?"
suggested
Dad.
He
likes
calling
me
kiddo.
Mom
says
it’s
because
he’s
always
calling
us
kids
by
the
wrong
names.
I
frowned
(皱眉)
trying
to
think.
Was
this
a
trick?
Was
I
about
to
be
made
fun
of?
"Okay,"
I
said
slowly
and
headed
for
the
door.
I
couldn’t
see
anybody
through
the
glass
window.
Cautiously
I
opened
the
door.
There
was
a
large
box
on
the
doorstep
decorated
with
a
note
on
it
that
read,
"Happy
Birthday!
Open
me!"
"What’s
this?"Now
I
was
confused,
but
excited.
The
box
wasn’t
very
heavy,
so
I
bought
it
inside.
My
family
crowded
all
around
me.
"What
is
it?
"asked
my
grandma.
"Open
it!"
My
brother
was
impatient,
as
usual.
"Box
,box!"
yelled
my
little
sister,
trying
to
get
her
hands
on
it.
Paragraph
1:
“Hold
on,
everybody,”
I
said.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph
2:
My
heart
melted
as
I
picked
it
up.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“Hold
on,
everybody,”
I
said.
I
took
a
deep
breath
to
calm
myself
down.
I
carefully
put
the
box
on
the
floor
and
slowly
opened
it.
At
first
sight,
it
looked
like
the
box
was
empty.
As
I
moved
closer
to
the
box,
I
suddenly
found
there
were
a
pair
of
big,
beautiful
brown
eyes
staring
back
at
me.
And
there
was
a
wagging
tail
that
seemed
like
it
would
never
stop.
My
heart
melted
as
I
picked
it
up.
I
gently
held
its
warm
body
in
my
arms."A
dog,
"I
whispered.
My
eyes
hurt
a
little
as
I
felt
happy
tears
gathering.
I
couldn't
believe
it.
I
had
been
wanting
a
dog
forever,
but
I
knew
it
was
impossible
because
my
parents
were
occupied
with
work
from
sunrise
to
sunset
and
had
no
interest
in
keeping
a
dog
to
make
them
busier.
As
I
held
the
dog,
I
knew
that,
no
matter
what
anyone
else
says,
wishes
sometimes
do
come
true.

分析】

【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容““大家等一下，”我说。”可知，第一段可描写作者打开了盒子，发现里面有一只可爱的小狗。

All
Luciano
Faggiano
wanted
when
he
purchased
the
seemingly
unremarkable
building
was
to
open
a
restaurant.
The
only
problem
was
the
toilet.
Sewage
(污物)
kept
backing
up.
So
Mr.
Faggiano
asked
his
two
sons
to
help
him
dig
a
trench
(沟)
and
uncover
the
problem.
He
predicted
the
job
would
take
about
a
week.
“We
found
some
underground
rooms,
so
we
kept
digging,”
said
Mr.
Faggiano,
60.
One
week
quickly
passed,
as
the
father
and
sons
discovered
a
tomb
of
the
Messapians,
who
lived
centuries
ago.
Soon,
the
family
discovered
a
room
used
to
store
grain
by
the
ancient
Romans.
Mr.
Faggiano
did
not
initially
tell
his
wife
about
the
extent
of
the
work.
His
wife
soon
became
suspicious
(怀疑的).“We
had
all
these
dirty
clothes,
every
day,”
she
said.
“I
didn't
understand
what
was
going
on.”
After
watching
the
Faggiano
men
pull
away
debris
(碎片)
in
the
back
seat
of
the
family
car,
neighbors
also
became
suspicious
and
informed
the
authorities.
Officials
arrived
and
stopped
the
digging,
warning
Mr.
Faggiano
against
operating
an
unapproved
archaeological
(考古的)
work
site.
Mr.
Faggiano
responded
that
he
was
just
looking
for
a
sewage
pipe.
A
year
passed.
Finally,
Mr.
Faggiano
was
allowed
to
continue
his
search
for
the
sewage
pipe
on
condition
that
officials
observed
the
work.
An
underground
treasure
house
came
into
view,
as
the
family
uncovered
ancient
vases,
an
ancient
ring
with
symbols
and
more.
Today,
the
building
is
the
Faggiano
Museum,
an
independent
archaeological
museum
authorized
by
the
government.
Mr.
Faggiano
is
now
satisfied
with
his
museum,
but
he
has
not
forgotten
about
the
restaurant.
A
few
years
later,
he
finally
found
his
sewage
pipe.
It
was,
indeed,
broken.
He
has
since
bought
another
building
and
is
again
planning
for
a
restaurant.
“I
still
want
it,”
he
said
of
the
restaurant.
“I'm
very
stubborn.”

repair
the
toilet.

lay
a
sewage
pipe.

find
ancient
treasure.

Faggiano
find
underground?

stop
the
digging
for
some
time?

Electric
cars
are
getting
cheaper
and
their
sales
are
on
the
rise,
but
their
future
success
may
depend
on
abandoning
a
key
ingredient:
the
heavy
metal
cobalt
(钴).
The
mineral
is
used
in
lithium-ion
(锂离子)
batteries
that
power
most
electric
cars,
and
demand
for
it
is
steadily
increasing.
A
new
analysis
by
Elsa
Olivetti
at
the
Massachusetts
Institute
of
Technology
has
found
that
there
may
be
cobalt
shortages
if
we
don't
start
refining
(提炼)
and
recycling
it
more
efficiently
or
in
greater
quantities.
She
estimates
that
global
demand
for
cobalt
will
rise
to
between
235,000
and
430,000
tonnes
by
2030
—
an
amount
that
is
at
least
1.6
times
the
world's
current
ability
to
refine
the
metal,
as
of
2016
figures.
Cobalt
is
often
produced
as
a
by-product
of
copper
or
nickel
mining.
It
is
expensive,
at
around
$33,000
per
tonne,
and
also
comes
with
a
human
cost.
Most
of
the
world's
supply
—
60
per
cent—
comes
from
the
Democratic
Republic
of
the
Congo,
where
mining
has
been
linked
to
child
labour
and
deaths.
The
new
analysis
suggests
short-term
cobalt
supply
is
adequate,
but
that
more
mining
exploration,
such
as
in
the
ocean,
is
required.
In
addition,
we
will
need
to
speed
up
cobalt
recycling
by
recovering
it
from
batteries
in
unusable
electric
cars,
laptops
and
mobile
phones.
Another
option
is
to
shift
to
batteries
that
use
less
cobalt,
or
none
at
all.
Elon
Musk's
car
firm
Tesla
is
in
talks
with
battery
manufacturer
CATL
to
use
entirely
cobalt-free
batteries
in
its
China-made
cars.
Lithium-ion
batteries
in
electric
cars
commonly
use
either
lithium
nickel
cobalt
aluminium
oxide
or
lithium
nickel
manganese
cobalt
oxide
for
their
ability
to
provide
a
high
energy
density
—
a
key
factor
in
how
far
an
electric
car
can
go
on
a
single
charge.
For
short-range
cars
made
and
sold
in
China,
Tesla
claims
that
it
will
instead
use
lithium
iron
phosphate
(LiFePO
4
)
(磷酸铁锂)
batteries,
which
are
much
cheaper
and
have
a
longer
lifespan
(寿命).
Besides,
they
have
less
of
an
environmental
impact
compared
with
those
needing
cobalt.
The
disadvantage
is
that
they
tend
to
have
a
lower
energy
density,
reducing
how
far
a
car
can
travel
without
needing
to
be
charged.
LiFePO
4
batteries
are
already
widely
used
by
other
Chinese
firms,
including
BYD,
the
world's
biggest
electric
car
manufacturer.
If
other
electric
car
manufacturers
follow
internationally,
we
may
be
able
to
reduce
our
dependence
on
a
limited
mineral
resource.
8.
What
is
Elsa
Olivetti's
prediction?
A.
Cobalt
will
be
needed
badly.

Cobalt
will
be
recycled
efficiently.
C.
Cobalt
will
be
refined
in
a
different
way.
D.
Cobalt
will
be
replaced
by
other
heavy
metals.
9.
What
is
a
suggested
solution
to
cobalt
shortages?
A.
Turning
to
renewable
energy
sources.
B.
Choosing
batteries
produced
by
Tesla.
C.
Decreasing
the
number
of
private
vehicles.

Making
the
best
use
of
abandoned
batteries.

the
text?

lithium-ion
batteries
work?
C.
Tesla

BYD:
a
tough

kick
the

habit?
D
Teenage
sailors
have
been
making
headlines.
A
young
person
alone
in
a
dangerous
situation
attracts
attention
—
and
sponsors.
Young
sailors
also
attract
divided
opinions.
For
example,
Jessica
Watson
was
asked
by
the
local
government
to
cancel
her
voyage;
yet
the
Prime
Minister
called
her
“a
hero
for
young
Australians
”when
she
returned.
It
seems
there
is
confusion
about
the
competence
and
independence
of
young
people.
One
misunderstanding
at
least
should
be
cleared
up:
children
are
not
going
to
sea
in
an
unregulated
way.
Consider
the
case
of
the
Dutch
girl,
Laura
Dekker.
When
her
father
agreed
to
her
making
a
solo
(独自的)
voyage
at
age
13,
the
Dutch
Council
for
Child
Care
prevented
it.
The
World
Sailing
Speed
Record
Council
also
moved
to
discourage
very
young
sailors
by
abolishing
their
age-based
records
in
early
2009.
So
community
control
of
children
under
16
years
already
happens.
But
the
case
for
controlling
older
teenagers
as
if
they
were
children
is
weak.
Teenage
brains,
so
the
popular
psychologists
tell
us,
are
likely
to
make
faulty
judgements.
But
such
generalisations
often
do
not
apply
to
specific
individuals.
Between
the
ages
of
14
and
18,
teenagers
vary
greatly
in
their
abilities.
The
amount
of
independence
each
is
allowed
should
be
determined
not
simply
by
their
age
but
by
negotiations
with
the
relevant,
responsible
adults.
Some
teens
are
certainly
inexperienced
and
capable
of
childish
mistakes,
but
the
ones
who
attempt
dangerous
journeys
normally
do
so
by
winning
the
confidence
of
hard-headed
and
well-qualified
adult
supporters.
But
it
is
also
wrong
to
think
that
any
16-year-old
can
gain
achievements
as
unusual
as
Jessica
Watson's.
Watson
seems
to
suggest
they
can
when
she
calls
herself
“an
ordinary
girl
who
had
a
dream”.
Her
intention
is
to
encourage
teenagers
but
this
can
have
the
opposite
effect
of
making
them
feel
incapable
because
remarkable
accomplishments
are
beyond
them.
Should
all
teens
have
such
dreams?
In
reality,
individuals
face
varying
circumstances
that
restrict
their
dreams.
Teenage
sailors
should
not
be
judged
by
preconceived
(事
先
形
成
的)
views
about
young
people.
But
nor
should
“ordinary”
teenagers
feel
pressure
to
achieve
extraordinary
personal
goals.
In
fact,
I
believe
the
example
of
solo
sailing
over
stresses
individualism.
The
teenage
years
are
when
most
of
us
“ordinary”
people
learn
that
we
can
achieve
great
things
in
cooperation
with
others.
12.
What
do
we
know
about
Jessica
Watson?
A.
She
made
a
voyage
successfully.
B
She
wants
to
attract
potential
sponsors.
C.
She
was
discouraged
by
the
Prime
Minister.
D
She
works
as
a
sailor
for

local
government.

author

the
Dutch
girl?
A.
To
praise
her
for
her
bravery.
B.
To
stress
she
was
overprotected.
C
To
show
community
control
of
teenage
sailors.
D.
To
explain
why
there
is
a
misunderstanding

Nordic
Walking
Started
in
Finland
in
the
early
20th
century,
Nordic
walking
used
to
be
a
summer
training
exercise
for
cross-country
skiers.
___16___
In
that
year,
a
Finnish
company
invented
a
new
wrist
strap
(腕带)
system
to
make
the
present-day
Nordic
walking
technique
possible.
Outside
of
Finland,
Nordic
walking
has
been
well
received
in
Austria,
Germany,
Norway
and
Sweden.
____17____
Nordic
walking
is
great
for
people
who
are
looking
for
a
smart
physical
activity
with
maximum
health
benefits,
combined
with
fun
and
convenience.
Nordic
walking
takes
fitness
walking
to
a
new
level
by
adding
poles
to
produce
an
incredible
upper
body
workout.
___18___
Besides,
it
also
takes
stress
off
your
ankles,
knees
and
hip
joints
(髋关节).
___19___
Nordic
walking
is
no
different.
For
best
fitness
results
and
physical
safety,
ensure
that
you
use
only
Nordic
walking
poles
which
have
been
specifically
designed
for
this
sport.
Don't
try
to
use
skiing
or
hiking
poles
which
are
designed
and
meant
to
be
for
a
totally
different
purpose.
When
you
walk
normally
and
carry
poles
with
you,
it
is
called
the
“2-wheel
drive”.
As
soon
as
you
hold
the
poles
properly
and
start
using
your
upper
body,
you're
now
in
the
"4-wheel
drive".
Every
step
should
begin
with
the
heel
touching
the
ground.
___20___
Just
hold
them
tightly
every
time
when
they
hit
the
ground,
and
let
them
go
as
they
are
drawn
back
behind
your
body,
finishing
up
with
an
open
hand.
A.
Just
remember
to
choose
lightweight
walking
shoes.
B
Your
hands
should
always
be
in
a
“hold-n-go”
state
with
the
poles.
C.
As
with
any
sport,
it
is
always
important
to
have
the
right
equipment.
D.
There
are
also
many
Nordic
walking
clubs
that
offer
regular
weekly
walks.
E.
This
strengthens
your
arms,
chest,
back
and
makes
your
body
more
flexible.
F.
The
real
breakthrough
of
Nordic
walking
as
a
practiced
exercise
came
in
1997.
G.
It
is
now
progressing
well
into
other
countries
such
as
Japan,
Australia,
the
UK
and
the
USA.

to___22___and
it
is
bad
for
the
environment,”I
said.
I
___23___this
recently
while
traveling
in
Italy,
where
clotheslines
are
everywhere.“Try

think
of
it
as
an
art
exhibition
,”I
said.“I
doubt
if
our___24___will
consider
it
to
be
art,
”he
said.
He
had
a
point
.
Americans
have
a
reputation
for
being
anti-clothesline.
No
one
else
has
a
clothesline
in
my
neighborhood.
After
a
week
of___25___the
laundry
in
the
front
yard,
I
was___26___that
none
of
my
neighbors
even
mentioned
my
clothesline.
I___27___a
particularly
artistic
photo
of
a
T-shirt
online,
which
looked
as
if
one
sleeve
were
waving
hello.
Afterward,
I
received
plenty
of___28___comments
such
as
“beautiful”
or
“lovely”.
A
few
days
later,
I
asked
one

neighbors
about
her
opinion
of
front
yard
clotheslines.“Well,
do
you
have
a___29___?”she
asked.
"Yes,”
I
replied.“Why
not
move
them
behind
your
house?”
she
added.
What
do
experts
have
to
say
on
the
topic?
I____30____Anne
Lawrence,
a
clothesline
expert
in
Michigan,
who
speaks
regularly
to
schoolchildren
about
the
importance
of
keeping
the
practice____31____.“How
do
you
feel
about
a
front
yard
clothesline?”
I
asked
her.“It
is
considered
a
bit____32____because
people
can't
avoid
seeing
it,”
she
admitted.“It
would
be
better
if
you
had
a
backyard.”
After
I
got
off
the
phone
with
Ms.
Lawrence,
I____33____the
front
yard
line
with
a
longer
one
in
back,
offering
more____34____for
artistic
freedom.
I

I
was
sitting
at
the
dinner
table
with
my
family.
Without
warning,
my
brother
smiled
and
turned
down
the
kitchen
lights
so
we
all
were
sitting
in
darkness.
Then
my
mom
walked
over,
carrying
a
big,
chocolate
cake
decorated
with
red
icing.
The
cake
was
lit
up
with
ten
birthday
candles,
and
everyone
started
singing
to
me!
My
favorite
part
of
birthdays
is
getting
the
chance
to
make
a
wish.
Sometimes
wishes
come
true,
and
sometimes
they
don’t,
but
the
fun
of
waiting
and
hoping
makes
me
happy.
It’s
like
magic
is
in
the
air
or
something.
Maybe
I’m
too
old
to
believe
in
magic
and
wishes,
but
I
don’t
care.
I
still
do
it.
I
closed
my
eyes,
made
a
wish,
and
blew.
My
grandparents
clapped
and
my
little
sister
stuck
her
finger
into
the
clouds
of
icing.
She’s
always
doing
stupid
things
like
that.
Mom
took
the
cake
away
to
cut
it
into
slices.
She
gave
me
the
first
piece,
and
it
was
awesome.
Chocolate
with
vanilla
(香草味的)cream
in
the
middle-delicious.
Ding-dong!
The
doorbell
rang.
We
weren’t
expecting
anybody
else.
"Why
don’t
you
go
answer
the
door,
kiddo?"
suggested
Dad.
He
likes
calling
me
kiddo.
Mom
says
it’s
because
he’s
always
calling
us
kids
by
the
wrong
names.
I
frowned
(皱眉)
trying
to
think.
Was
this
a
trick?
Was
I
about
to
be
made
fun
of?
"Okay,"
I
said
slowly
and
headed
for
the
door.
I
couldn’t
see
anybody
through
the
glass
window.
Cautiously
I
opened
the
door.
There
was
a
large
box
on
the
doorstep
decorated
with
a
note
on
it
that
read,
"Happy
Birthday!
Open
me!"
"What’s
this?"Now
I
was
confused,
but
excited.
The
box
wasn’t
very
heavy,
so
I
bought
it
inside.
My
family
crowded
all
around
me.
"What
is
it?
"asked
my
grandma.
"Open
it!"
My
brother
was
impatient,
as
usual.
"Box
,box!"
yelled
my
little
sister,
trying
to
get
her
hands
on
it.
Paragraph
1:
“Hold
on,
everybody,”
I
said.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph
2:
My
heart
melted
as
I
picked
it
up.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
