21、We know the famous ones--the Thomas Edison and the Alexander Graham Bells--but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper (雨刮器)? Shouldn't we know who they are?

Joan McLean thinks so. In fact, McLean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range,feels so strongly about this matter that she's developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning "who"invented "what", however, McLean also likes her students to learn the answers to the "why" and "how" questions. According to McLean, "When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try. "

Her students agree. One young man with a patent(专利证） for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean's statement. "If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper's invention," said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major, "I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive. " Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.

So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights,so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn't be a built-in device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside,became the first windshield wiper.

Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. It's hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan's traffic light. It's equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett's innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?

【1】By mentioning "traffic light" and "windshield wiper", the author indicates that countless inventions are ________.

A. beneficial, because their inventors are famous

B. beneficial, though their inventors are less famous

C. not useful, because their inventors are less famous

D. not useful, though their inventors are famous

【2】Professor Joan McLean's course aims to ________.

A. add color and variety to students' campus life

B. inform students of the windshield wiper's invention

C. carry out the requirements by Mountain University

D. prepare students to try their own inventions

【3】Tommy Lee's invention of the unbreakable umbrella was ________.

A. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer

B. inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper

C. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm

D. not related to Professor Joan McLean's lectures

【4】Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?

A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?

B. How to Design a Built-in Device for Cleaning the Window?

C. Shouldn't We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?

D. Shouldn't We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?

22、The library is one of the most popular places at a western university. Students turn to it for research, conversations about class, and many other services.

Compared with Chinese libraries, college libraries, college libraries in the US and UK tend to offer more resources. A postgraduate at Yale University can borrow as many as 225 books at a time.

In addition to borrowing books, there are online and electronic resources. These include a database search of popular and academic material, such as LexisNexis Academic, which offer items from newspapers and magazines.

Although books and articles are the items that students ask for most frequently, some libraries provide audio and video recordings, maps and sheet music(活页乐谱). At some schools, teachers and tutors put electronic copies of their teaching PPTs on the library Web to give easier access for students.

Another useful service in Western college libraries is the Interlibrary Loan. This allows a student at one school to borrow books from another school. The loan request is made through the student’s college library, which gets the book, gives it to the user, and arranges for its return.

Technology has brought more services to students and has made libraries attractive. Some universities have services for students to send messages through the computer or mobile texts to ask the library staff for information.

Earlier this year, Harvard University introduced a new Scan and Deliver service, allowing students to make requests for parts of books and articles. Requests made through the system are handled by library staff. The student receives and e-mail with an Internet link to the scanned pages. The service is free and all material comes within four days.

It used to be that libraries didn’t allow food or drinks. But that rule is changing and many of them now contain a cafe so students can spend as much time as they want in the library.

Actually, some US university libraries are now all-night affairs, or have at least one study room open all night.

23、   Even if you’ve never been to Phoenix, you know this about the place: It’s hot. But that doesn't stop hikers from attempting the 1.3-mile trek (跋涉) to the top of the city’s famed Camelback Mountain. Signs warn that the trail is “extremely difficult”. If you continue, a posted checklist suggests at least a liter of water per person. And if you keep climbing, another sign farther up declares; “If you’re halfway through your water turn around!”

Unfortunately, many people do not pay attention to the warnings. Fortunately, Scott Cullymore does. The 53-year-old man hikes up and down Camelback a couple of times a day giving out cold bottles of water to worn-out hikers. He has helped so many hikers that he has earned a heavenly nickname: the Water Angel. I’d like a more manly name, but, you know, he told azfamily, com.

Cullymore was on Camelback Mountain one day in 2015 when a British tourist died after being lost for nearly six hours in the July heat. That experience inspired him to start helping people caught unaware by Arizona’s unforgiving version of Mother Nature. “They underestimate the mountain, and they overestimate what they can do, and they get themselves in trouble,” he told the Arizona Republic. If a hiker has a red face and is not sweating anymore, Cullymore reaches into his insulated (隔热的) backpack, pulls out a frosty bottle, and hands it to the person. “It’s misleading that we’re in the middle of the city. You can die up here, and no one would know.”

One hiker who received Cullymore’s water agrees. “You think you know the heat, but then you get out here in the desert and it surrounds you like a blanket,” he said, pointing to Cullymore, “but we are lucky, we run into this good man here.” And with that, the Water Angel goes in search of another hiker in need.

【1】What is the purpose of the signs along the hike way?

A.To show the trek is difficult. B.To warn hikers to take enough water.

C.To frighten people to give up. D.To avoid hikers getting lost.

【2】What does Scott Cullymone think of his nickname?

A.It’s womanish. B.It’s manly.

C.It’s ironic, D.It’s appropriate.

【3】Who will Scott offer his help to?

A.Anybody he meets. B.Those in the middle of the trek.

C.Anyone in need of water. D.Those who sweat a lot.

【4】What can be the best title of this text?

A.A Desert-Like Mountain B.Fighting against Heat

C.Necessities for Hiking D.Water Angel

24、Some people are early risers while others can’t seem to get to bed until well after midnight. Why is this? A research team has a new finding that shows how a “switch” in the biological clocks of early risers leads them to operate on a daily cycle of about 20 hours instead of a full 24-hour cycle.

This finding from Carrie Partch and her colleagues builds on decades of research into biological clocks, which control sleeping and waking, rest and activity, body temperature, heart rate and so on.

Partch and her colleagues focus on two main clock components: an enzyme (酶) known as casein kinase 1 (CK1) and a protein (蛋白质) called PERIOD. It turns out that the timing of biological clocks is strongly influenced by the rise and fall of the PERIOD protein, and this daily change normally takes place over 24 hours. But CK1 adjusts PERIOD levels by chemically modifying the protein, thereby adjusting its stability.

What they’ve discovered is that a part of CK1 acts as a switch. When this switch functions normally, it generates a near- perfect 24-hour cycle by keeping PERIOD’s stability right. In this case, people easily and correctly match their biological clocks with the daily coming and going of daylight.

If the switch favors a faster breakdown of the protein, the daily cycle grows shorter and less tightly bound to daylight. For these early risers, it’s a constant struggle to adjust to life in a 24-hour world. On the contrary, a switch that favors a slower breakdown will lengthen the clock, causing some people to be night owls (夜猫子).

Partch’s discoveries are sure to offer a new view on how the biological clocks make us tick. She hopes they’ll result in new ways to adjust the clocks in people with sleep disorders and even the means to reset the clocks in people who regularly travel overseas or work the night shift.

【1】What does Partch’s research team find?

A．What the biological clock is.

B．Why some people get up early.

C．Where two main clock components lie.

D．How people adapt to the biological clock.

【2】What has a strong effect on the biological clock according to the text?

A．Heart rate.

B．Sleeping.

C．Body temperature.

D．The PERIOD protein.

【3】What can we learn from paragraph 5?

A．A slower breakdown of PERIOD makes the daily cycle longer.

B．The cycle of night owls’ biological clock is shorter.

C．A faster breakdown of casein kinase 1 lengthens the clock.

D．It is very easy for early risers to adapt to normal life.

【4】What’s a suitable title for this text?

A．The Functions of the Biological Clock

B．The Meanings of Partch’s Discoveries

C．The Differences Between CK1 and PERIOD

D．The Causes of Changing Biological Clocks
