B When students at Brown University step on certain treadmills (跑步机)in their campus fitness center, they aren't only working out.They're also producing electricity to power the very building they're in. Nelson Fitness Center has a set of cardio(有氧的)machines made by the company SportsArt. These machines turn human energy into electricity.The idea for this setup started with a student project several years ago.Elina Pipa, now a senior at the university,once took a class on climate. For the class's final project,every student had to put forward a business plan for a real-world climate solution.Elina chose to focus on something nearby:Brown University's own exercise center. Soon,the idea became a reality.Gym-goers at Nelson Fitness Center can see the result directly. Along with the workout time and miles, the gym equipment(器材)also shows the“instant watts(即时瓦数)”based on how fast users exercise.Each hour of workout can produce up to 220 watt-hours of electricity.In a separate test, 30 minutes of walking created about 80 watt-hours of electricity—enough to power an LED light for about six hours."When you see that your gym equipment can do this," Elina says, “you start to realize it is possible to form eco-friendly habits in your daily life.” This gym equipment is already in use now,with even more machines on the way.Students don't have to wait until they graduate to take climate action."You don't need to invent something new to make a difference."says Elina,"Sometimes, all you need to do is take an existing idea and run with it.” ( )56.What is special about Brown University's Nelson Fitness Center? A.It is powered by workouts. B.It has the most expensive gym machines. C.It was built by a company called SportsArt. D.It offers the best fitness classes for students. ( )57.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A.A task from SportsArt B.The birth of Elina's idea. C.A project of Brown University. D.The solution to a business case. ( )58.Why does the writer mention the separate test in Para.3? A.To show how much electricity a light bulb uses. B.To stress the benefits of walking. C.To introduce a new method of producing power. D.To prove the effectiveness of the gym equipment. ( )59.What does Elina advise students to do to help the environment? A.Form good living habits. B.Start with inventions. C.Act on practical ideas now. D.Take climate classes to find more solutions. ( )60.What would be the best title for the passage? A.Turning Exercise into Wattage B.A University's New Fitness Center C.The Future of Fitness:Smart Treadmills D.A Business Class on Climate Change C From a very young age,we were shown pictures of smokers' lungs (肺)and warned about all kinds of diseases caused by smoking.We also learned about the risks of secondhand smoke.But have you heard about another possible danger?It's third hand smoke. After someone smokes,some harmful chemicals in the smoke remain on walls,clothing and other surfaces in the area.These chemicals, such as nicotine, are called third hand smoke.It is also dangerous. Scientists are studying third hand smoke as they try to understand some puzzling lung cancer cases. In fact,an earlier study found that third hand smoke may damage human DNA.Dr.Choi, who tested human cells(细胞)in a lab, believes that DNA damage is a real risk. "It can increase your chances of developing a disease." he explains. ★ It stays for weeks, months or even years.It can't be removed by airing out rooms, opening windows or using fans.When nicotine reacts with nitrous acid(亚硝酸)in the air,cancer-causing compounds (化合物)will form. But it hasn't been proven that third hand smoke is related to other diseases."And that will be very difficult to prove.After all,we are all close to it, no matter how hard we try to avoid it." Dr.Choi says. It's important to be aware of this problem, though.Babies and young children face a greater risk from third hand smoke than adults do.That's because they often touch objects and then put their hands in their mouths.This can put them in greater danger of taking in harmful chemicals. Third hand smoke may also cause health problems for pets,since they clean themselves with their mouths. ( )61.How does the writer lead in the topic in Para.1? A.By making a comparison. B.By giving an example. C.By telling a story. D.By raising a question. ( )62. What is "third hand smoke" according to the passage? A.Smoke breathed in from nearby smokers. B.Harmful chemicals left on surfaces after smoking. C.Diseases caused by long-term smoking. D.A kind of acid that forms when nicotine reacts with air. ( )63.Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A.Third hand smoke spreads quickly through the air B.The smell of third hand smoke is the biggest problem C.Third hand smoke lasts long and is hard to clear away D.Third hand smoke disappears if we clean the rooms ( )64.What can we learn about third hand smoke? A.It's more harmful to babies and young children than adults. B.It's the main cause of lung cancer. C.It's more dangerous than secondhand smoke. D.It has been proven to be related to all kinds of diseases ( )65.Which picture best shows the theme of the passage? 第 Ⅱ 卷 ( 非选择题，共40分) 五、词与短语填空(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，然后用下面方框中所给的单词或短语填空， 使短文在结构、语意和逻辑上正确。(提示：方框中有两个单词 或短语是多余的。) poor/smooth/makes up/water/prefer /peel/time The toucan (巨嘴鸟)is a colorful bird living in the rain forests of South America.

M:French,Lucy! W:Oh,good!That's my favorite subject! M:That's because you are always interested in it and you find it very easy!But I find it too difficult,so I don't like it. W:Jane finds French quite difficult, too.But she said it was her favorite subject. M:Yes,I know.And her second favorite subject is physics. W:Physics is my worst!I don't like it.I always get the wrong answers! M:What's your second favorite? W:Computer studies.What about you? M:I'm not sure.Both English and science are my favorite subjects. I think I like science better. W:You're really different from Jane!She doesn't like science at all! Text 15 M:Hi!How are things? W:In fact,I've got so out of shape recently that none ofmy clothes fit me!It's Ben's party next month and I have nothing to wear. M:You don't look bad to me!But if you want to do something. why don't you go to a gym? W:That may work for other people, but it's not my style and it's expensive.I'd rather buy those videos and exercise at home. M:Well,everyone I know who has tried to get in shape by exercising at home has given up.At least if you pay to join the gym,you'll be more likely to go because you won't want to waste your money. W:You might have a point,but I really don't want to spend the money right now.There must be something else I can do to get in shape! M:I know.Why don't we start riding our bikes to work every day,and then take a nice long ride through the park on our way home? W:That sounds really good!
