26、In this fast-developing world, it can be said that technology has killed culture and traditions. Radio was known as a stress reliever in the past, but the digitalization of music has done great damage to the radio industry. Radio stations no longer have a large audience that they once had. People can now easily download music from the Internet, or listen to it online.
In the technology-dependent era, George Oliver realized that it was nearly impossible to live a life without the Internet. If radio should be brought back and compete with the existing music streaming platforms, he has to take the radio online. On October 28, 2015, he founded Realmuzic.net.
Launching an online radio site and maintaining it was no easy job. George had to get his head into technology. He faced and overcame many challenges, and turned a deaf ear to those who always laughed at his idea. His passion for bringing back the golden times for radio was much stronger than any of these difficulties. George and his DJs team put in all their efforts, and used all their knowledge and every bit of energy to make this happen.
Just like any other business, Realmuzic.net began with a rough start. Not many people knew about this online radio station and were too absorbed in the new tech to turn to the radio-centric music streaming service. Giving up was not an option, so they decided to target the 80’s and 90’s kids with their nostalgic (怀旧的) playlists and carefully selected song collections that played 24/7 on Realmuzic.net. Their decision was right: they saw a huge increase in their site-visits. Their next step was to bridge the gap between younger generations and radio.
【1】Why do radio stations no longer have a large audience?
A．They do not relieve stress any more.
B．Culture and traditions are not respected.
C．People have easier access to music online.
D．Digitalization has damaged music industry.
【2】According to the passage, George can be described as_________ .
A．optimistic
B．determined
C．confident
D．warmhearted
【3】What might be a proper title for this text?
A．The Rise Of Realmuzic.net
B．George Oliver’s Life Story
C．The Development Of Radio
D．Challenges To The Radio Industry
27、"If you don't have time to read, you won't have time or tools to write," writes Stephen King in his memoir. He goes on to explain writers must read widely and frequently to develop their own voice and to learn how to write sentences and structure stories in ways that make readers want to pick up their work and read it.
This idea that we must be readers first in order to be writers is echoed throughout books on writing and is often the first piece of advice that authors offer to aspiring novelists. " The more we read, the faster we can perform that magic trick of seeing how the letters have been combined into words that have meaning," writes best-selling author Francine Prose in Reading Like a Writer.
According to a recent University of Florida study of 48 MBA students, what students read in college directly affects the level of writing they achieve. In the study, researchers surveyed students about their reading materials and habits, and they also took a writing sample from their cover letters. Researchers then ran those samples—as well as samples from news stories the participants had read—through programs to assess the writings' complexity.
Upon analyzing their findings, researchers concluded that students who read academic journals and literary fiction scored higher in measures of writing complexity than those who primarily read popular fiction or web contents published on sites like BuzzFeed, Reddit and The Huffington Post.
Research has found that deep reading is distinctive from other types of reading in which we merely read text superficially. The language found in literary fiction, for example, is complex and rich in detail and metaphor. And the brain handles this language by creating a mental representation that draws on the same brain regions that would be active if you were experiencing the event in real life.
Regardless of what science may say about how reading affects writing though, writers themselves tend to agree that you can't be a successful writer unless you are first a voracious（求知欲强的）reader. By reading, writers not only accumulate knowledge, but they also gain a better understanding of language, learn their genre（风格），grow their vocabulary and most importantly, find inspiration.
Perhaps that's why when the late writer and Nobel Prize winner Jose Saramago was asked about his daily writing routine, he said," I write two pages. And then I read and read and read."
【1】How does the author describe the effect of reading on writing in the first paragraph?
A．By using a novelist's words.
B．By making a comparison.
C．By referring to a study.
D．By introducing a concept.
【2】What can be learned from the study?
A．The quality of reading materials affects people's writing level.
B．People tend to read articles on web pages.
C．Reading is more important than writing.
D．People who read more are more likely to write better.
【3】What is the consensus（共识）among writers?
A．A successful writer must first grow his/ her vocabulary.
B．A successful writer must be experienced in real life.
C．A successful writer must be attractive to his/ her potential readers.
D．A successful writer must be first a"greedy" reader.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．Reading plays an important part in writing.
B．People's reading habits are changing as time goes by.
C．Deep reading is necessary for every writer.
D．Writers tend to find inspiration from reading.
28、My best friends travelled to stay with my family last weekend. When she arrived, she went straight to the kitchen and, without asking, ate some dried fruit. She wasn’t being rude. I knew she would do this. We’ve known each other for almost 20 years. She can eat anything she wants from my kitchen. Indeed, I bought her favorite fruits and snacks that morning.
Our long weekend together was simple. I was recovering from surgery and couldn’t go to shopping malls. We passed the time running errands (做杂事), but there was never a quiet moment. We’ve lived in different cities for almost a decade. Reunions demand conversation.
Our personalities are matched, to be sure, and a shared history is indescribably (难以形容地) valuable. We were competitors at high school before bonding. Then we discovered many interests that we had in common. Our friendship developed itself quickly. We stayed companions and supported each other through law school and through our first jobs. Ours is a friendship for the ages.
There is something special about friends who know everything about you. They are rare. They have seen your bright lights of achievements, the depths of desperation and the boring routine of the in-between. It’s special to unpack feelings without wasting time filling in the blanks. As my long weekend shows, with such friends we don’t have to “do”, but we simply have to “be”. We drop the act, the performance, the public version of ourselves. The special friendships are those which never fail to delight us, whose continuation is worth the extra effort, despite distance and difference in our separate lives. I had the very great joy of this reminder last weekend. I’m lucky to have found this friend, and to see a future where her companionship remains. Being together is perfection.
【1】What can we learn about the author and her best friend from paragraph 2?
A．They talked constantly about their lives.
B．They enjoyed running around.
C．They had a noisy weekend.
D．They quarreled at times.
【2】What does the author appreciate about the friendship mentioned in the text?
A．They remind each other not to waste time.
B．They’re comfortable with being themselves.
C．They’re best friends despite different hobbies.
D．They help each other achieve in their study and careers.
【3】What message is conveyed in the last paragraph?
A．Good friendships are worth more effort.
B．Special friendships may fail to delight us.
C．Real friends help each other achieve success.
D．Distance and difference strengthen friendship.
【4】Why does the author write this text?
A．To make more friends.
B．To share the friendship she treasures.
C．To describe what her best friend is like.
D．To explain how she offers help to her friend.
29、 European researchers say they have created a process that can produce oxygen from moon dust. The process could provide a major source of oxygen for humans taking part in moon exploration activities in the future. Researchers from the European Space Agency (ESA), carried out the experiments at a laboratory in the Netherlands. They reported their results in a study published in Planetary and Space Science.
The team says ESA’s experimental “plant” was able to successfully produce oxygen from simulated (仿造的) moon dust. The dust is part of a material known as regolith, a top layer of dirt and rock fragments that sit on the surface of the moon. Samples of regolith returned from the moon have confirmed that the material contains about 45 percent oxygen by weight. However, the oxygen is chemically locked in the form of minerals or glass, so it is not easily available for use. Having real samples of regolith from the moon made it possible for the researchers to create the simulated moon dust material used during testing.
ESA’s long-term goal is to design an oxygen-producing “pilot plant” to operate full-time on the moon. The first technology demonstration (演示) of the system is expected to take place in the middle 2020s. Beth Lomax of the University of Glasgow was a lead researcher on the project. “Being able to acquire oxygen from resources found on the moon would obviously be hugely useful for future lunar settlers, both for breathing and in the local production of rocket fuel,” she said in a statement.
The researchers reported that “as a bonus”, the process also results in the production of usable metallic materials. ESA researcher Alexandre Meurisse said the finding that a number of metals are left behind was an important discovery.
ESA and the U.S. space agency NASA are both working on plans to return human beings to the moon. NASA has set a goal for 2024, with the aim to keep humans on the moon for long periods. ESA officials say the latest experiments were part of expanded engineering development aimed at finding new ways for lunar materials to be used to support future human activities.
Last August, NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida announced its own plans to develop a device that would melt lunar regolith to extract oxygen.
The NASA plan would involve heating the regolith to more than 1,600 degrees Celsius and then flowing electricity through the material, the agency explained. The process would attempt to cause a chemical reaction to split the regolith into oxygen and metals.
Kevin Grossman is a materials science expert at Kennedy Space Center. He said researchers will be carrying out experiments to test the technology with the goal of getting NASA, in his words, “one step closer to an automated mass production of oxygen on the Moon.”
【1】How will the process benefit humans according to the study?
A．By creating warm air for researchers on the moon.
B．By providing rocks for the production of minerals.
C．By testing the weight of the oxygen contained in moon dust.
D．By offering oxygen for people conducting studies on the moon.
【2】What makes oxygen difficult to produce during the ESA’s experiment?
A．Its poor quality.
B．Its small quantity.
C．Its form of existence.
D．Its complex structure.
【3】What is the “bonus” in the new process?
A．Usable metals.
B．Fresh oxygen.
C．Rare minerals.
D．Precious glass.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A．European Researchers Discovered Oxygen From Moon Dust
B．Oxygen Found for Humans Taking Part in Moon Exploration
C．Oxygen Successfully Produced From the Moon Dust
D．Mass Production of Oxygen achieved on the Moon
