William Lindesay, a famous Great Wall expert and conservationist, and his wife Wu Qi have traveled the globe by the back paths, providing their sons with a unique growing environment. Sun hats, backpacks and sneakers (运动鞋)—these are the day-to-day must-haves for the family.

Most of their trips seem far from relaxing—cultural study in the hot and dry desert, a 53-kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one-day climb to three English mountaintops and a six-day train ride from Beijing to Moscow.

Many assume the family must be wealthy and can afford their global travel, but they are not. Lindesay says they just choose to spend money on travel and eschew pricey hotels and restaurants where possible. Lindesay mentions the trip to Moscow as an example. Instead of taking a taxi from the railway station to the hotel, they took the subway. “We crossed the city for saving money, communicated with local people, and saw they are people just like us, everywhere. We arrived at our destination feeling comfortable.”

However, their journeys, which can last weeks or months, have sometimes been inconsistent with their children’s schooling. Wu remembers once Lindesay let their elder son ask for leave so that they could go to New York for a 45-day lecture tour. Therefore the son missed his final exam. Things like that bother the family all the time.

Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but traveling outside, in distant lands with different languages, cultures, and political structures, is the real test. “You can only get streetwise on the street. You can only get worldly-wise when seeing the world,” he says.

24．How can we describe the Lindesays’ trips?

A．Pleasant. B．Challenging. C．relaxing. D．Dangerous.

25．What does the underlined word “eschew” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Avoid. B．Visit. C．Compare. D．Evaluate.

26．What problem does the family meet when traveling?

A．They suffer from a tight budget. B．They have scheduling conflicts.

C．They are faced with language barriers. D．They hold different educational ideas.

27．Which statement may Lindesay agree with according to the text?

A．Nothing is so necessary for travelers as languages.

B．There is no royal road to learning.

C．Actions speak louder than words. 

D．Man who travels far knows more.

C

Researchers are trying to explore creative ways to reduce e-waste. Now one team has invented a water-activated battery (水激活电池) made of paper and other sustainable(可持续的) materials.

Some e-waste is relatively large: old phones and air conditioners, for instance. Other e-waste is more unnoticeable, such as batteries. It’s these small batteries that are big problems. Nobody really pays attention to where they end up. Researchers at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology are working to address this problem. They invented a water-activated paper battery using environmentally friendly materials that could eventually replace the more harmful batteries common in low-power devices.

A traditional battery is made of plastic, metal or other harmful materials. The paper battery works the same as a traditional battery. It has a positively charged (带电的) side, a negatively charged side, and a conductive material (传导材料) between the two. In the new battery, the positively and negatively charged sides are inks printed onto the front and back of a piece of paper. That paper is filled with salt, which dissolves (溶解) when the paper is wet. When the paper is dry, the battery is off. Once the paper is wet, the battery activates within 20 seconds. The new battery’s operating performance worsens as the paper dries. When the scientists rewet the paper during testing, the battery begins to work again and lasts an hour before beginning to dry out again.

Although the researchers showed that their battery could power an alarm clock, it is unlikely to replace standard batteries now. It is hard to predict a time line for producing such batteries in a large number, but that future may not be so far off.

“This really starts with the development of sustainable materials,” Nyström, the lead author, explains, “From there, I think we are able to create something that is quite useful.”

28．Why did the researchers invent the new batteries?

A．To replace harmful batteries. B．To develop sustainable materials.

C．To power common devices. D．To make e-waste more noticeable.

29．In what aspect are the traditional and the new batteries different?

A．Sizes. B．Usages. C．Materials. D．Purposes.

30．What do we know about the paper used in the new batteries?

A．It dries within 20 seconds. B．It can be used many times.

C．It has ink on the front side. D．It breaks easily in salt water.

31．What can be inferred about the new battery from the last two paragraphs?

A．It stores huge power. B．It takes ages to make it.

C．It has been put into market. D．It has a promising future.

D

When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents(口音), most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.” But this kind of misses the point.

More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition(定义) of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice. Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do!

Every person speaks a dialect (方言), too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a changed form of a language that is featured by its variations(变化) of structure, phrases and words. For instance,” You got eat or not? “(meaning “Have you eaten?” ) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different?

We need to move beyond a narrow idea of accents and dialects — for the benefit of everyone.

Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity(身份). Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.

32．What does the author think of his/ her friends’ response in paragraph 1?

A．It reflects their self confidence.

B．It reflects their language levels.

C．It misses the point of communication.

D．It misses the real meaning of accents.

33．Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English?

A．To support the use of dialects.

B．To show the importance of dialects.

C．To correct a grammatical mistake.

D．To highlight a traditional method.

34．What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph?

A．Learn to speak with your local dialect.

B．Look for an official definition of accents.

C．Appreciate the value of accents and dialects.

D．Separate our local languages from others’.

35．What can be a suitable title for this passage?

A．Everyone Has an Accent

B．Accents Improve Our Identities

C．Dialects Lead to Misunderstanding
