26、The Mokoko tribe (部落) lived on the wrong side of the island of two faces. The two sides, separated by a great cliff (悬崖), were like night and day. The good side was watered by rivers and was filled with trees and abundant food, while on the wrong side there was hardly any water or plants, and wild beasts crowded together. The Mokoko had the misfortune of having always lived there, with no way to cross to the other side. Their life was hard and they lived in permanent terror of the beasts.

Along the edge of the cliff separating the two sides, a skinny but strong tree grew, with which they could build two poles. There was no doubt that the tribe would choose the great chief and doctor to use the poles. But when the two of them were given their chance to make the jump, they didn’t dare to. They thought that the pole could break or it would not be long enough. They put so much energy into these thoughts that they gave in.

But into that tribe were born Nam and Ariki, a pair of young hearts. One day, they decided to take up the poles. Nobody stopped them, but everyone did try to discourage them, trying to present how dangerous the jumping was, using a thousand explanations.

“And what if what they say is true?” wondered the young Naru.

“Don’t worry. I am a bit scared too, but it doesn’t look so difficult,” replied Ariki, ever determined.

“But if it goes wrong, it will be a terrible end,” continued Naru, undecided.

“Perhaps the jump will go badly. But staying forever on this side of the island surely won’t work out well either.”

“You’re right. Let’s do it tomorrow.”

And on the next day, Naru and Ariki jumped to the good side of the island. When taking up the poles, while feeling their desire, the fear hardly allowed them to breathe. And while flying through the air, helpless and without support, they felt that something must have gone wrong and death awaited them. But when they landed on the other side, they thought the jump really hadn’t been so bad after all.

【1】What situation were the Mokoko faced with?

A．They lived a difficult life without fearing the beasts.

B．They suffered a lot due to the terrible environment.

C．They had easy access to the good side.

D．They were surrounded by trees and rivers.

【2】How did the chief and doctor feel when they were chosen?

A．Frightened.

B．Energetic.

C．Desperate.

D．Satisfied.

【3】What’s the tribe members’ reaction when Nam and Ariki decided to take up the poles?

A．The members desired to follow their steps.

B．The members tried to prevent the behaviour.

C．The members convinced them of the danger.

D．The members encouraged them to have a try.

【4】What can we infer about Naru and Ariki?

A．They overcame difficulty with courage and determination.

B．They felt relaxed in the whole process of making the jump.

C．They never doubted the difficulty in making the jump.

D．They hesitated to make the jump over and over again.

27、Why are you doing this? I often hear that or similar questions. Many people don’t understand why I like travelling by bicycle. 【1】 But for me, it’s the best way to travel.

When I sit on the bike, I am free and flexible. I can stop at any time to eat or start the stove to enjoy a coffee with breathtaking views. I’m not dependent on bus or train. 【2】 I come to places I would never have seen. My bike makes it possible for me not to plan beforehand, which leaves space for adventure. Because adventures don’t come around the corner during a planned hotel-vacation.

I am in the nature the whole day. The wind blows across my face. 【3】 I see monkeys hanging directly above me in the tree, whales swimming along the coast, a bear waving at us and many more animals. Smelling the blackberries, I’m stopping to fill my stomach. In the car, bus or train, I would have missed all of these.

【4】 Some long-term cyclists spend 4,000 dollars per year or less. And I spend about 350-450 dollars a month. This is due to two reasons: I have no transport costs. And I also have the freedom of wild camping, during which I can cook for myself. All these factors contribute to a cheap travel.

I could tell hundreds of stories. Because of getting to know so many people, I have experienced a lot. The travel form itself invites many to ask questions. And the best thing about it is that all these stories make me rich. I’m rich in memories, of which I always think with laughter. 【5】

A．I listen to the birds singing.

B．And they think it’s so tiring.

C．It will change the way you see the world.

D．I can decide for myself when and where to go.

E．Before my start, I was fascinated by the bike touring community.

F．Nobody can ever take them away and they are of great value to me.

G．Compared to other travel forms, bike touring is one of the most affordable.

28、4D printing creates objects capable of rearranging themselves in response to environmental stimulation. Given that they change with time, the fourth dimension in 4D printing is time. Printing with a material that changes in response to its environment has been done before to create some objects that can grow or shrink, open or close. To do these changes, the objects needed to be placed underwater.

The new ink developed by Del Pozo will make reversible (可逆的) change possible in normal conditions. The ink itself is made with liquid crystals instead of the previously used shape-memory polymers or hydrogels (水凝胶). Shape-memory, polymers cannot reverse their form changes and hydrogels can only reverse their changes underwater.

“ What we didn’t yet have was a more flexible material, capable of reversing its shape-shifting in various environments in response to stimulation (刺激). Now, we can adapt liquid crystals in multiple ways. We can play with not only the chemical composition but also the molecular (分子的) arrangement,” said Del Pozo.

“ Thus, materials can be designed that are responsive to humidity (湿度) or temperature and whose movement can be controlled. And by combining materials with different functionalities, printed objects can be organized to form a communicating system,” Del Pozo continued.

The ink is also light-sensitive, which provides many possible applications for the technology in combination with the other stimulation. Del Pozo looks forward to the potential for soft robots and medical applications such as printable artificial eyes.

【1】Why was previous 4D printing not satisfying?

A．The process is too slow.

B．It was too expensive to perform.

C．The materials are not stable.

D．The objects must be underwater.

【2】What made reversible change possible in normal conditions?

A．The finding of a new material.

B．The application of new printers.

C．The invention of a new ink.

D．The use of a new printing method.

【3】What does the last paragraph mainly about?

A．The potential use of the new technology.

B．The development of the new technology.

C．The disadvantages of the new technology.

D．The working principle of the new technology.

【4】What is the text?

A．A travel guide.

B．A news report.

C．A short story.

D．A novel.

29、What it does

The self-cleaning door handle is combining with advanced photocatalytic (光催化) and blacklight technology. A light source activates the door’s handle coating, telling it to start cleaning. It can minimize the risk of infection by contact and improve the cleanliness of a space.

How it works

The working principle of the product is that a thin advanced photocatalytic coating can effectively remove bacteria (细菌) on the surface of a substance. A consistent UV light source-inside a transparent glass door handle - is required to activate the door’s handle coating on the outer surface for disinfection, so a generator is used to provide electricity to light up a UV LED lamp by the motion of an opening and closing door. Then, the door handle can clean by itself.

Design process

We made the first version by using stainless steel. However, it caused the door handle to be heavier. Then, we tried aluminum, which made it light and easy to fix. We also improved the generator output which effectively turned energy from door movement into a light source.

How it is different

Our innovative design is simple, effective, and attractive. It has an elegant smooth shape, and its minimalist appearance stands out in today’s world of inventions. Nowadays, people use chemical cleaning materials to clean up public areas but it harms the human body. Our design can be used for a long time and is effective. It can self-clean after each use. In the door lock and door handle market, it is a unique design because there are no similar products.

Future plans

In the future, we will commercialize the product and hope that it can compete on the market with similar products. We are going to connect with public properties, for example, shopping malls, hotels, hospitals and public restrooms, where the risk of spreading infection is higher.

Awards

In addition to winning the James Dyson Award, it has also received the Gold Award, and in 2016, it was featured in the 44th International Geneva Inventions Exhibition.

【1】How does the self-cleaning door handle function?

A．It controls the door movement automatically.

B．It minimizes the risk of infection by less contact.

C．Chemical cleaning materials are used to clean it up.

D．The light source tells the door handle coating to clean itself.

【2】Compared with the first version of the product, the present one is

A．safer and cheaper

B．cleaner and easier

C．less heavy and more effective

D．more attractive and expensive

【3】What do we know about the new invention according to the passage?

A．It has been widely used in public areas.

B．It is quite competitive among similar products.

C．It has received positive responses for its innovation.

D．It will replace traditional chemical cleaning materials.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I worked day and night as a taxi driver, and I always dreamed of owning my own taxi company. One night, I took an order at 11:00 pm. When I arrived at the building, it was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. In this situation, many drivers would just wait for a while and then left.

But I had seen too many people who depended on taxis as their means of transportation. I thought this passenger might be someone who needed my help. So I walked into the building and knocked at the door.

“Just a minute,” answered an elderly voice. I could hear something being pulled across the floor. After a long time, the door opened. A small woman in her 70s stood before me. She was wearing a traditional dress and an old hat, like somebody out of a movie in the 1940s. By her side was a small suitcase. The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets. I found nobody else. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos.

I helped take her suitcase out to the taxi, and then returned to help the elderly woman. She seemed a little weak and took my arm. We walked slowly towards the taxi. The elderly woman kept thanking me for my kindness. I told her, “It’s nothing. I just try to treat my passengers the way I want my mother to be treated.” She said I was the best man she had ever seen in the world. And she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive me to the hospital?” I answered quickly, “OK!” She told me that she was ill and needed to stay in hospital for several days, but her sons were in other provinces and couldn’t get home in time. I listened to what she said carefully and kept comforting her.

When we got to the hospital, I went to the emergency room with her. After half an hour, she was admitted into the hospital room. At midnight, I rushed home and completely forgot the taxi fare.
