26、Ford is showing its first all-electric sports utility vehicle, or SUV—the Mustang Mach E, marking a major change in the U. S. car industry. Auto industry reporters got their first look at the new electric vehicle Sunday. The new Mustang can travel from 370 to 480 kilometers before needing an electrical charge(充电). Experts say the Mustang Mach E marks the start of an increase in electric vehicles offered by top U. S. carmakers.

There are 18 electric vehicle models for sale in the U. S. The research group IHS Mark it expects that number to grow to 80 by 2022. New vehicles will include pickup trucks and SUVs that are popular with American buyers.

Last year, electric vehicles made up only 1.5 percent of new vehicle sales worldwide. Auto Industry research company LMC Automotive predicts(预言) that will rise to 2.2 percent this year. In the U. S., electric vehicles were only 1.2 percent of sales in 2019. It is expected to be the same in 2020.

Automakers,however, see room for growth. They note that electric vehicles are getting 250 miles or more on a single charge. That means a buyer no longer needs to worry about running out of power during a day’s usual drive. Because of the added models and increased power, LMC predicts that they will make up 17 percent of worldwide sales and 7 percent of U. S. sales in 2030.

The first-generation of electric vehicles were simply existing models that were changed to electricity to meet government fuel economy rules. They did not sell well largely because they could not travel more than 100 miles between charges. But now, many can go farther than the average one-day driving distance. The five-passenger Mach E looks like a traditional Mustang. Engineers say the least costly model will be able to travel about 370 kilometers on one charge. The most costly model will be able to travel 483 kilometers.

【1】What can be known from the first two paragraphs?

A．Americans like pickup trucks and SUVs best.

B．There will be more vehicle models to meet customers’needs.

C．Ford is the first company to make all-electric sports utility vehicles.

D．The long travel distance between charges is the car’s greatest advantage.

【2】What do we know about the growth of electric vehicles in America in 2030 according to LMC?

A．It’s the fastest in the world.

B．It is much below the world average.

C．It’s the same as the world average.

D．It hasn’t changed very much.

【3】How did the author develop the last paragraph?

A．By giving examples.

B．By introducing new ideas.

C．By making comparisons.

D．By following time order.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Ford Starts New Electric Vehicles

B．Electric Vehicles Are Better for Environment

C．Old Electric Vehicles Will Be Knocked Out

D．Electric Vehicles Will Take Over the Market

27、   Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley, turned 200 years old in 2018! It has been called the first true work of science fiction and the first English horror novel. The story has been told over and over again—not just in books, but in movies and television shows. To celebrate, New York City s Morgan Library & Museum has a special exhibit on the writer and the book.

The reason for the success is that Doctor Frankenstein and his creature, the monster, live on in numerous remakes, shows, and even comic books.

Mary Shelley’s classic is one of the most famous horror stories of all time. But Frankenstein is so much more than that. It presents ideas or themes that are still important today. Knowing something about her suffering can help readers have a good knowledge of her work. Shelley wrote the book when she was only 18 years old. And it relates to her own sad life. Her mother died 10 days after she gave birth to her. She knew what it meant to be a child without a mother. It is no surprise that Shelley wrote a story about a motherless creature one that is very much alone in the world.

Losing her mother shortly after her birth in 1797 was only part of her life story. Mary Shelley gave birth to four children, but only one child survived to adulthood.

Around the age of 17, she fell in love with the poet Percy Shelley. The two writers got married in 1816. However, the marriage of Percy and Mary Shelley was short-lived. Her husband died in a sailing accident in 1822. She was still in her twenties when she became a widow. In some ways, it’s not entirely surprising that she ended up with a story about a monster without a mother.

After the publication of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley continued to write. She died from brain cancer on February 1,1851. Her most important legacy is a monster that is still very much alive today.

【1】What do we know about Frankenstein?

A.It exists in different forms of art.

B.It is a romantic fiction.

C.It is not popular with modern readers.

D.It has been made into the most interesting science fiction movie.

【2】What did Shelley and the monster have in common?

A.They were quite creative. B.They felt lonely.

C.They had the same character. D.They behaved badly at home.

【3】Why did the author mention Shelley’s sufferings?

A.To show pity to her. B.To introduce her to readers.

C.To make readers understand her novel better. D.To show her difficulty in writing the novel.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A.Success comes from struggle.

B.Hardship creates a great person.

C.Shelley’s experiences contribute to the success of Frankenstein.

D.Frankenstein comes into the market.

28、   Effective apologies are those that can be accepted by the offended（被冒犯的）party and help both parties to move on with no unpleasantness.Here are a few key tips on apologizing.

Don’t hurry to apologize

【1】But if the other party is still angry at your wrong doing,it may be more effective to wait because their anger may prevent them from accepting your apology.Therefore,the best time to apologize is when one feels ready to accept your apology.

Don’t make any excuses

Admitting to being wrong is painful and can make people worried that they’re a bad person.【2】For example,“I certainly apologize if I offended anyone”and“I’m very sorry,but in my defense,you started it”.

That sort of apology has a special name—nonapology.It uses the form of an apology“I’m sorry”but follows it up by blaming the offended person,implying（暗示）he or she is too sensitive.【3】.

Let your body do the talking

Face-to-face apologies beat phoned-in,emailed or handwritten ones.Facial expressions,body language,and the tone of voice have all been shown to be important channels that show sincerity when you express regret.Anyone can type“I feel really ashamed”.【4】.

A phone call is the second best.You’ll show your feelings with your voice and get quick responses.

E-mailed apologies aren’t perfect.They lack warm feelings.【5】 This might do harm to the apologizer.

A.Sometimes an immediate apology is called for.

B.So they often water down their apology with excuses.

C.But if you say it live,it’s obvious whether or not you mean it.

D.Don’t imply that the other person is wrong to feel upset or angry.

E.There is nothing worse in these situations than sincere apologies.

F.Even worse,the receivers can forward the written apologies to anyone.

G.Being a victim does not automatically change a person into a good person.

29、

Recent decades have seen China make many scientific achievements. One of them is the development of its space program. Chinese people have gone to space while Chinese robots have landed on the moon and soon will reach Mars.

On Oct 15, 2003, the nation carried out its first manned space mission, sending Yang Liwei on a 21-hour journey around Earth in the Shenzhou V spacecraft. Chinese astronauts have traveled more than 46 million kilometers in

space and conducted more than 100 experiments. According to government plans, the nation will start putting together its first manned space station around 2020. The multi-module station, named Tiangong, or Heavenly Palace, is expected to be up and running by 2022. It's planned to have a useful life of about 15 years, says the China Academy of Space Technology.

China has launched four lunar probes (探测器) since 2007. The latest and most remarkable, the ongoing Chang'e 4 mission, is the first attempt by any nation to observe the moon's far side, which never faces Earth. In early December 2018, the Chang'e 4 robotic probe was lifted atop a Long March 3B rocket, making a soft landing on the moon's far side on Jan 3. The next step in China's lunar exploration agenda, the Chang'e 5 mission, is coming up. It will land a rover (月球车) to collect soil samples and bring them back to Earth. If the mission is successful, it will make China the third nation to bring back lunar samples, after the United States and Russia.

Now, China aims to explore deep space. Mars will be the key concentration of China's future deep-space plans. Researchers are preparing for the country's first exploratory mission to the red planet, scheduled for 2020. According to the China National Space Administration (CNSA), China's first Martian probe will look at the Martian soil, environment, atmosphere and water. In the next part of China's Mars program, a larger probe will go to the red planet around 2030，according to Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the space administration.

【1】What do we know about the Heavenly Palace?

A.It's the second manned space station for China.

B.It is expected to be up and running by 2020.

C.It is planned to be used about 15 years.

D.It has conducted more than 100 experiments.

【2】Which of the following is NOT TRUE about China's Lunar exploration?

A.China has launched four lunar probes since 2007.

B.Chang'e 4 softly landed on the moon's far side.

C.Chang'e 5 will land a rover to collect soil samples.

D.China has become the third nation to bring back lunar samples.

【3】China's future deep-space plans mainly focus on_______.

30、Making My Own Bicycle

It was a Saturday morning. James and I were at the Bamboo Bicycle Club, ready for our bamboo bicycle building course.

The first step was setting up the structure for holding the frame (骨架) in place. After that we were told to _______ the bamboo to be of use, which was a delicate job. There were several things to _______. Of course, finding pieces that were the color we wanted was just as important.

The rest of the afternoon was spent _______ each piece of the frame into the structure. Bamboo is fairly flexible, and this particular _______ meant that some adjustments were really necessary. One problem lining up the two chains causes _______ made our frame useless. Luckily, however, after some careful _______, we confirmed that it was alright. There was just enough space to fit a wheel.

On Sunday morning we returned to the workshop to complete the final _______. We began to tightly wrap each joint on the frame, to keep it _______ with natural fibers kept in special glue. All that was left now was for it to dry. In a few hours we would be official members of the Bamboo Bicycle Club.

Finally we finished our job. I couldn’t wait to _______ our bicycle to find out what it was really like to ride a bamboo bicycle. It felt just as ________ as any bicycle, but softer and more relaxed. Now, every time I get on our bicycle, I can’t help smiling. It reminds me of when James and I built it and makes me proud of myself.

----- A Rich Man Finds the Best Way to be Truly Rich

Once upon a time, a rich man hired a great mathematician (数学家) to find him a way to make him more money. The rich man was so g【1】 that he even built a giant safe and his dream was to fill it with gold and jewels.

He no longer dreamed of keeping his wealth in a safe. I 【10】 he shared it with hundreds of friends. He was now truly rich.
