One idea that has caught their imagination is solar roads. They are expected to produce clean and renewable energy With solar panels on the surfaces, solar roads cost more than traditional roads However, besides the functions of traditional roods, they have the panels to receive sunlight and change it into the energy to supply power to homes, factories and street lighting. There are four layers in a solar panel: ·Base layer: It is made of insulation material and forms a good grip with the road below this layer ·Middle laver: This is the most important laver. It holds all kinds of power lines connecting all the solar parts in the panel, like LED lights and the heating system ·Top layer: This layer is super-strong glass. It allows the panel to hold the weight of the heaviest vehicles ·Capping: This is the topmost layer used to offer extra protection to the solar parts in the panel. The layer must be rough enough to provide the traction for the safety of vehicles. With the smart design, solar roads can successfully charge the vehicles on them. And the roads have inbuilt LED lights to replace the traditional rood signs and lines, whicl are usually painted and harmful to humans. What's more, the heating systems in the solar roads can take care of the snow and ice on the roads for drivers Test solar roads have been built in several countries (France, China, USA, etc.) since 2014. The first word solar road project, Metrics of Watt Way in France, was set up by a French company called Construction Colas. It was an example of low effectiveness. In 第3页共16页 the first year, it had been expected to produce around 767 kWh of energy a day, but it only produced 409 kWh. Even so, the production could increase with design improvements. Of course, more time is needed before this technology is put into use Solar roads may not be widely used in the near future, but they are indeed great for an environment-friendly and energy-saving world 16. Solar roads __. A. offer power to homes B. get energy from factories C. keep the sunlight away D. cost less than traditional roods 17. Which of the following about the layers of a solar panel is TRUE? A. The base layer is the most important layer B. There are many power lines in the middle layer C. The top layer lies on the top of the solar panel D. The capping should be smooth enough for drivers 18. What is the best title for the passage? A Solar Roads: A Widely Used Invention B. Solar Roads: A Safety Guard for Drivers C. Solar Roads: A New Idea for Clean Energy D. Solar Roads: A Way to Produce LED Lights ①The metaverse (元字宙) has been a hot topic of conversation recently. The word "Metaverse" comes from a science fiction novel Snow Crash hy Neal Stephenson in 1992. It refers to a 3D virtual reality (虚拟世界). In this world, we have digital versions of ourselves which are called avatars. The best way to visit the metaverse is through VR headsets. ②Visiting the metaverse is like playing a game World of Warcraft (魔兽), where we can choose our own avatars. In the metaverse we can do almost everything such as 第4页共16页 getting together with friends, learning and playing. The value to our lives could be big ③In the metaverse learning process becomes much easier and more interesting Wcaring a VR headset is different from watching a movie. The difference is what scientists call "embodied cognition." That is, we learn by doing instead of watching reading or listening. For a lot of the most important learning events in our lives, we actually do something-we walk somewhere or fee! semething. Sirnilarly, in the metaverse we learn by having such an experience. ④James is a professional basketball player in America. He is on a two-week training program in the metaverse. Every day after he wakes up, he puts on his VR headset to go over his plays and practice in the metaverse. It's like he's actually on the sports field. But he is just in his living room, getting practice."In this way, I improve my basketball skills faster." says James. Can you imagine how metaverse tecbnologies help people deal with environmental problems in our reai world? One example is a scientific test on the island of Ischia, in Italy. Carbon dioxide (二氧.化碳) is destroying its ocean plants and animals In the real world, we can't bring people all over the world to Ischia to show how worse the situation is. To solve this problem, we produce a seven-minute Ischia journey in the metavcrse. Now with VR headsets on, we bring Ischia to people. People see for themselves, study on environmental changes and learn to predict what all the oceans on the earth will be like in the future. Maria is a volunteer to experience the metaverse. After spending 24 hours "living" in the metaverse, she felt very tired. Her eyes and head hurt a lot the moment she took off the.VR headset. For her, such a "virtual" experience is less meaningfui than a "real" one In fact, the metaverse is a tool, like any other media (媒介) such as Wechat. TikTok and Bilibili. It will surely make a difference to how we receive information 第5页共16页 which is a big jump in the history of media. Wherever we are, in the real world or in the metaverse, we will continue to be the same humans. To be or not to be, that's not a question for the metaverse. It's already on the way. 19. !s an example of embodied cognition A. Dong English homework B. Rsading the novel Snow Crash C Watching a movie Kung Pu Panda D. Listening to Abing's Erauan Yingyue 20. The main purpose of the seven-minute Ischia journey is to A. provide a new way of saving people near Ischia B. picture how the ocean environment iooked in the past C. show how oceans are being destroyed by carbon dioxide D. explain how pollution from Ischia is destroying other areas 21. Which of the following sentences can be put in the A. Other media will still be important B. But many people in the world will not like it C. It will take several years to change people's lives D. But this huge change will not change who we are 22. The structure of the passage may be A. ①/②③④/ B. ①/②③④ C. ①②③④/ D. ①/②③/④/ C After spending 15 years exploring China and its delicious food, Fuchsia Dunlop, a British writer, has become an expert on Chinese food. In her book Sharks Fin and Sichuan Pepper (《鱼翅与花椒》).I learned that food is not just about taste-it's also about culture and how it makes us feel happy inside. Dunlop is like a fantastic tour guide. Through her words, I got to taste the spicy hotpot in Chengdu and the yummy snacks in Yangzhou. Each dish came alive and tasted 第6页共16页 amazing in her writing She talked about the cultural differences between Chinese and Western food.4n the West, people focus on balanced nutrition, while in China, people also care about color aroma and taste. I get to explore what makes each dish special in different places. For example, Dunlop talks a lot about Sichuan pepper in her book. It's a special spice that people in Sichuan often use in their cooking. It smells strong and makes your mouth tingle (感到刺痛) a bit. Not only does it make the food delicious, but it also helps with the damp and cold weather in Sichuan A deep lover of Chinese food, Dunlop uses her words to create a "tasty" connection between China and the West. Some people in the West wrongly think that Chinese people eat everything because they are desperate (绝望的) or poor. Dunlop finds this misleading and explains that the Chinese are very open-minded when it comes to ingredients (食材) "Chinese emperors were eating fish tongue and duck feet, not out of desperation, but out of appreciation for texture (口感) and mouthfeel,"she explained Reading this book made me look at the food around me m a new way and appreciate our eating traditions even more. 23.

"Erin the thief!" said Mr-Joe to his wife."Anything smaller than a table, and more expensive than paper, would finally be found in his bag." "He's sure to come for the presents we've received," added Mrs. Joe. "We can't hide them all. How can we deal with him?" "We must keep an eye on him." said Mr. Joe 第8页共16页 As soon as Erin arrived, the couple started to keep a sharp lookout. After dinner, the three talked nervously from one boring topic to another in the living room Suddenly, Erin asked. "You've got so many presents. Can I take a look at those pretty silk scarves?" "Only it's annoying to have seven of them," Mr. Joe blurted Erin studied the scarves carefully, lost in thought. The couple got more anxious After Erin went for sleep, Mrs. Joe counted the presents immediately. "T'm not sure if we've lost anything."she doubted “He must have taken something," claimed Mr. Joe angrily. "The awful pig haan' brought us a present. How dare he take anything from us?" "Let's go through his bag late at night,"Mrs. Joe suggested Tne search was a short one. They found a silk scarf carefully p!aced in the bag. Mrs Joe quiclly picked it up and put it into her pocket The next morning, Erin was late for breakfast. "Something's been taken out of my bag,"he said. "It was a present I had prepared for your silver wedding, only it happened to be a scarf. You seemed annoyed at having so many, so I thought I'd get it changed, but nowit's gone." The couple turned deadly pale. Mrs. Joe ran to the living room and surprisingly, she found their seven scarves were still there, △. Mrs. Joe returned with Erin's scarf. "This one is yours," she went on."It's an unpleasant thing to say... Actually, we took it last night. It all started because there were some unkind words about you. It's really shameful to go through your bag without asking." Erin's eyes widened as he was listening. Mrs. Joe handed the scarf to Erin "Plcase take your scarf back. It's unfair to you.
