22、The other day on a cold night, I left my wife and drove from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of about 100 miles. It was rather late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.

At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.

I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.

Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of a contract（契约）we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it's an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it： we don't go through red lights.

Trust is our first inclination. Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual（相互的）trust, not distrust. We do what we say we'll do； we show up when we say we'll show up； and we pay when we say we'll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and we're angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.

I am so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.

D．He is easy when suffering the traffic jam.

【3】What is the meaning of the underlined word "inclination" in paragraph 5?

A．Tendency.

B．Faith.

C．Adjustment.

D．Guidance.

【4】What should we do to create a better society according to the author?

A．Be polite to others.

B．Improve traffic rules.

C．Be patient and helpful.

D．Trust each other.

23、   Native woodlands can resist the spread of invasive species by blocking daylight reaching the forest floor, researchers have suggested.

The team, consisting of researchers from US universities, decided to focus its attention on common buckthorn(沙棘), which is all invasive species in North America. It out-competes native plants and degrades soils and forests, doing harm to humans and other wildlife. In order to create environments that resist invasion by buckthorn, and thus avoid those costs, it was necessary to understand which forest characteristics offered the greatest influence on the success or failure of buckthorn plants becoming established.

In their experiment, the team grew buckthorn under a variety of different levels of shade and measured the light available to the buckthorn. These included one made up from deciduous species, such as birch, another from evergreen species, such as pine, and another from a mixture of both species.

Dr. Schuster observed: “Results showed that forests that are able to block out 96% of incoming light in the spring or autumn can successfully resist buckthorn invasion.” He added that, in general, evergreen species were much more capable of creating this level of shade compared with deciduous species.

“We anticipated that buckthorn would fail in areas with extremely low light levels, since having some light is necessary for most plants to live,” he said. Yet the team were surprised by how much the buckthorn depended upon light availability in spring or autumn.

He added that if forest managers were seeking to improve the long-term resistance of their forests to buckthorn invasions, then it might be necessary to introduce species that helped reduce the amount of light reaching the forest floor, such as evergreens.

But this approach was not risk-free, warned Dr. Schuster. He added: “If we change forests to get rid of buckthorn, we may push out some desirable native species at the same time. So, the question becomes whether we can select plant communities both to have the species we want and to produce ample shade in spring and autumn to keep buckthorn out.”

【1】This experiment was carried out to study ________.

A.why soil conditions matter to plants B.how to help native plants grow better and faster

C.the impact invasive species have on humans D.the factors influencing the growth of buckthorn

【2】What kinds of trees were chosen for the experiment?

A.Trees providing different amounts of shade. B.Trees growing and declining at different rates.

C.Trees of different heights. D.Trees of different origins.

【3】What does Dr. Schuster imply in the last paragraph?

A.We must get rid of buckthorn whatever the cost.

B.Keeping native species ought to be the top priority.

C.We should be careful about selecting species of plants.

D.Communities need to work together to fight the alien plants.

【4】You may likely find this article in a ________.

A.psychological and behavioural paper B.travel guide

C.nature and environment journal D.fashion magazine

24、   A raised eyebrow, a puzzled look or a nod of the head are just a few of the facial expressions computers could soon be using to read people’s minds.

An emotionally aware” computer being developed by British and American scientists will be able to read an individuals thoughts by analyzing a combination of facial movements that represent underlying feelings.

“The system we have developed allows a wide range of mental states to be identified just by pointing a video camera at someone, “ said Professor Peter Robinson of the University of Cambridge.

He believes the mind-reading computer’s applications could range from improving people’s driving skills to helping companies tailor advertising to people’s moods(心情).

“Imagine a computer that could pick the right emotional moment to try to sell you something, a future where mobile phones, cars and Web sites could read our mind and react to our moods,” he added.

The researchers, who are developing the technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, also hope to get it to accept other inputs such as posture(姿势)and gesture.

“Our research could enable Web sites to tailor advertising or products to your mood,” said Robinson. “For example, a Webcam(网络摄相机) linked with our software could process your image, encode the correct emotional state and send information to a Web site.” It could also be useful in online teaching to show whether someone understands what is being explained and in improving road safety by determining if a driver is confused, bored or tired.

“We are working with a car company, and they believe this will be employed in cars within five years,” Robinson said, adding that a camera could be built into the dashboard(仪表板).

【1】Why is the computer described as “emotionally aware”?

A．It can store your thoughts.

B．It can express its feelings.

C．It thinks the same way as you.

D．It knows what you are feeling.

【2】Which word can best replace the underlined word “tailor” in Paragraph 4?

A．Suit.

B．Turn.

C．Devote.

D．Reduce.

【3】What is the purpose of the camera to be built into the dashboard of a car?

A．To identify the driver’s mental state.

B．To help the driver learn driving skills.

C．To send traffic information to a Web site.

D．To record the driver’s facial movements.

【4】In introducing the mind-reading computer, the text focuses on       .

A．its development

B．its designers

C．its applications

D．its working process

25、   Boyan Slat is 26. If you saw him walking down the street, you might think he was just a student at a local technical university. And so he was, seven years ago, right before he _________ out of college.

Slat’s life began to _________ after a holiday trip to Greece with his family when he was 16. Before taking a diving course, he had _________ to see beautiful sea animals. However, what he _________ saw in the ocean was an awful lot of _________ waste. From that moment on, Slat dived into a _________ to find a solution to this alarming problem. _________ by the idea for a floating barrier that could collect plastic in the oceans, he _________ his company at the age of 18. Although the idea was named one of the best _________ of 2015 by TIME magazine, he received __________ feedback from the specialists in __________ issues.

Slat was not __________ and continued with his mission. After five and a half years’ hard work, he launched the world’s __________ ocean plastic cleanup system: System 001. The U-shaped pipe, about 609 meters in __________, snakes its way out under the Golden Gate Bridge into the Pacific. These floating barriers will capture (捕获) plastic as the ocean water flow past. Ships will collect the waste and bring it to land for __________ every few months. According to Slat, if all goes to plan, only 60 systems could __________ the amount of plastic there by as much as 50 percent by 2025.

__________, there remains a problem: what will happen to the plastic brought back to shore from Slats systems? It’s likely that lots of the waste will __________ be recycled into more single-use plastics that end up back in the __________. That doesn’t mean Slat will __________. “Big problems require big solutions,” he says. “If anyone has any better ideas, I’d love to know.”
