26、Falling snow is beautiful to behold as it covers everything with a layer of white. When watching from the inside of your warm home, it can be a magical experience. However, leaving your home to go to work or school is a very different experience. 【1】 People traditionally treat highways and streets with road salt. But salt can pollute waterways and rust cars. That’s why some cities are turning to using beets(糖甜菜).

【2】 But some cities are using the beet brine, which is made from sugar beets to clear the roads. It is more effective than using salt alone. The recipe for the beet brine combination is 23 percent salt, 62 percent water, and 15 percent beet juice. The qualities of sugar beets were discovered by a Hungarian scientist in the 1990s who worked at a sugar beet processing plant. 【3】

Winnipeg, Manitoba in Canada started a pilot program using beet in 2015. 【4】 In the US, Michigan started a pilot program to mix road salt with agricultural additives in 2020. Since sugar beets are grown locally, it was a natural fit. Now cities are mixing beets with road salt as well as other agricultural bi-products.

【5】 Or you can DIY your own using dish-washing soap mixed with rubbing alcohol. While most people agree that roads have to be cleared from ice, there is still a long way to go to convince the government to make the change to safer methods. Beet juice may be a big part of the solution.

A．Using road salt comes with major issues.

B．Beets and roads do not usually go together.

C．Roads can become very slippery after it snows.

D．And soon it turned into a city-wide program in 2018

E．This has led to the creation of safer de-icing alternatives.

F．For home use there are eco-friendly choices to using road salt.

G．He found that runoff from the factory kept the ponds from freezing.

27、After years of research and test, the hybrid car was developed and put on the market. It’s an interesting and exciting new improvement in today’s quality of the air we breathe and save our natural resources.

The quality of our air is affected by many different things. But one of the largest sources of air pollution is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and gas which are used to power a car’s engine. The EPA has set national standards to help control the level of harmful pollutants sent off into the air, and the automobile industry has acted by producing a hybrid car that uses less gas and therefore causes less pollution.

A hybrid car is a combination of a regular car that runs on gas and an electric car that is battery powered. Some people tend to think that since the hybrid car is partly electric, you have to plug it in to charge it. But that’s not how it works. Through the energy that is produced when the car’s brakes are used. This is referred to as “regenerative braking”(再生制动), because it generates electricity.

Although the hybrid car still runs on gas most of the time, this help it use less gas than a regular car. When a driver stops at a traffic light, the engine automatically shuts off to save fuel. Then, as soon as the driver puts the car in gear(处于正常工作状态) and touches the gas pedal, the engine starts back up.

Have you ever ridden in a car with someone who ran out of gas? That probably wouldn’t happen if you were riding in a hybrid car. It flashed a warning reading: “YOU ARE NOW OUT OF GAS!” Then the electric power supply energy in to let the driver travel a few more miles to a gas station.

【1】According to the passage, the underlined word “hybrid” (in Paragraph 1) refers to ________.

A．a high-tech discovery

B．energy-saving

C．a new invention

D．a new kind for the combination of two things

【2】The EPA is important to our environment because ________.

A．they designed hybrid cars

B．they forbade the burning of fossil fuels

C．they set important rules that help control pollution

D．their main purpose is to produce non-polluting cars

28、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Climate change is changing the flavor of French wine

Records going back 700 years show that Burgundy’s wine grapes have been feeling the heat of the past three decades.

The summer of 1540 was burning hot in the vine-covered hills of Burgundy, France—so hot as to be “almost unbearable,” according to one written account from the time. 【1】 In the Alps, glaciers melted, their snouts retreating up steep-sided valleys. Fires burned from France to Poland. And in the wine country of central France, the grapes withered to raisins (葡萄干) on the vine, so sugary the wine made from them was syrupy and extra-alcoholic.

【2】 the look of the vines before they bud; the look of the vines as they mature over long seasons; and the fat, sugary, fragrant curve of the grapes when they’re ready to be made into wine. Normally, winemakers harvested grapes at the very end of September or early October. But that year, they had to rush to get overripe grapes off the vine weeks earlier than usual.

Now, a nearly 700-year-long record of harvest shows that early harvest dates like the one from 1540 are now par for the course, thanks to climate change. 【3】 “We can clearly see the reaction of the grapes to the rise in temperature,” says Thomas Labbé, an historian at the University of Burgundy. “We can predict, using modeling, the harvest will occur around about the 15th of August, in the core of summer.”

【4】 Already, as temperatures worldwide have warmed, the alcohol content of wines has bumped up from about 12 percent in the 1970s to about 14 percent today, though that number varies from region to region. Part of that, though, is winemaker preference, part of it is because grapes are maturing faster in the heat. The more sugar they accumulate, the more of it is converted to alcohol during the winemaking process.

A．Though the kind of heat hasn’t settled into Burgundy yet, it’s probably coming.

B．Winemakers have kept careful track of the harvest dates for centuries.

C．That will almost certainly affect the way wines taste and feel, and how strong they are.

D．In fact, it was hot all across Europe that year.

E．The subtle feel resulting from more alcoholic wine is not favored.

F．Winemakers know the growth stages intimately.

29、You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?

Jane Addams(1860-1935)

Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931,Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Rachel Carson(1907-1964)

If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.

Sandra Day O’Connor(1930-present)

When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952,she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。

It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn’t see any rain soon we would lose everything. It was on that day that I learned the true lesson of sharing and witnessed the only miracle I have seen in my life.

I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. I could only see his back. He wasn’t walking in his usual way. He was obviously walking with a great effort, trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house. I went back to making sandwiches, thinking that whatever he had been doing was completed. Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that unusual way toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.

He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he carried. I followed him secretly as he went into the woods. Branches and thorns(刺) slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He might have a much greater purpose, I thought. As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw the most amazing sight. Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them, at the sight of which I almost screamed for him to get away. A huge buck(雄鹿) was dangerously close. But the buck didn’t threaten him nor even move as Billy knelt down. And then I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from thirst and heat, lift its head with great effort to lap (舔)up the water cupped in my beautiful boy’s hands.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在相应的位置作答。

When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house.
