Library of Heaven’s Path, a Chinese fantasy web novel written by Yang Hanliang, is one of them. Yang didn’t expect his stories would be so popular when he started writing web novels around 2008.
In November 2016, Yang was a gym teacher at a remote senior high school in Qinghai Province. One day Yang saw a movie about teachers. It inspired him to create a world where teachers can fully understand students’ abilities and teach them based on their strengths. It took 3 years to write the 6.4-million-word web novel, and it was finished in September 2019.
The novel has long been at the number one spot on online literature platforms in many countries, and it has been translated into more than 10 languages so far. It has inspired a large number of overseas readers to learn about traditional Chinese culture and even start creating their own web novels.

For the past 40 years I’ve done the same thing — teaching. We know why kids drop out from school. It’s poverty, low attendance, or bad classmate influences. But one of the things is the value and importance of human connection, relationships.
A colleague said to me one time, “They don’t pay me to like the kids. They pay me to teach a lesson. That’s all.” Well, I said to her, “You know, kids don’t learn from people they don’t like. Your year is going to be long and arduous, dear.”
I have had classes that were so low that I cried. I wondered, how am I going to take this group in nine months from where they are to where they need to be? And it was difficult. And so — I gave a quiz, 20 questions. A student missed 18. I put a “+2” on his paper and a big smiley face. He said, “Ms. Pierson, is this an F?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “Then why’d you put a smiley face?” I said, “Because you got two right. You didn’t miss them all. And when we review this, won’t you do better?” He said, “Yes, ma’am, I can do better.”
You see, “-18” sucks (抽取) all the life out of you. “+2” said, “I am not all bad.”
Can we stand to have more relationships? Of course not. And you know your toughest kids are never absent.
Teaching and learning should bring joy. Every child deserves a champion, and an adult who will never give up on them should believe they become the best that they can possibly be.
24. According to the author, some students left school when young mainly because ________.
A. they could not afford the education
B. they didn’t get on well with the teachers
C. the schools couldn’t admit so many students
D. they followed the examples of their classmates
25. What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Tough. B. Happy. C. Effective. D. Exciting.
26. When the student who got 18 of the twenty questions wrong saw the “+2” and a big smiley face, ________.
A. he felt hurt by the teacher
B. he felt ashamed at the result
C. he felt pleased to have passed the exam
D. he felt doubtful about what the teacher meant
27. Where is this passage probably taken from?
A. An educational research paper. B. An advertisement in a newspaper.
C. A speech by an excellent teacher. D. A storybook written by a teacher.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文围绕学生辍学的原因展开,重点强调人际情感联结的重要性,通过自身教学中的具体事例,传递“用鼓励对待学生、不放弃每一个孩子”的教育理念。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“We know why kids drop out from school. It’s poverty, low attendance, or bad classmate influences. But one of the things is the value and importance of human connection, relationships.(我们知道孩子们辍学的原因,可能是贫困、出勤率低、同伴不良影响,但其中一点是人际情感联结的价值与重要性)”可知,师生之间缺乏良好的情感联结、相处不融洽,是学生辍学的主要原因之一。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“A colleague said to me one time, “They don’t pay me to like the kids. They pay me to teach a lesson. That’s all.” Well, I said to her, “You know, kids don’t learn from people they don’t like. Your year is going to be long and arduous, dear.”(有一次,一位同事对我说:“他们付钱给我,不是为了让我喜欢孩子。他们付钱让我上课。仅此而已。”好吧,我对她说:“你知道,孩子们不会从他们不喜欢的人身上学习。亲爱的,你的一年将是漫长而arduous。”)”可推知,同事这种只注重教学、不重视师生关系的教学方式,会让她的教学生活变得漫长且艰难。因此“arduous”意为“艰难的”。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“A student missed 18. I put a “+2” on his paper and a big smiley face. He said, “Ms. Pierson, is this an F?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “Then why’d you put a smiley face?”(一名学生20道题错了18道,我在他的试卷上写了“+2”和一个大大的笑脸。他问“皮尔森老师,这是不及格吗?”我说“是的”,他又问“那你为什么画笑脸?”)”可知,学生看到“+2”和笑脸后,对老师的用意充满疑惑。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。全文以第一人称“我”的视角,讲述自身40年的教学经历、与同事的对话以及教学中的具体事例,语言口语化、富有感染力,传递自己的教育理念,符合优秀教师演讲的文体特点。
C
An increasing number of US interstates are set to try out a Purdue University invention, which is a sensor (传感器) that allows concrete to “talk”. Prof. Luna Lu, the acting head of Purdue’s Lyles School of Civil Engineering, and her lab started developing the technology in 2017, when the premature failure of newly repaired concrete road surfaces, due to insufficient knowledge of concrete’s strength levels, frequently caused traffic jams. Traffic jams waste 4 billion hours and 3 billion gallons of gas on a yearly basis. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) requested help in getting rid of the situation.
Traditional methods the industry has used for more than a century call for testing large samples of concrete at a lab or an on-site facility. Based on the data, engineers could estimate the strength level that a particular concrete mix will reach at a construction site. Although these tests can be well understood by the industry, differences between lab and outdoor conditions can lead to inaccurate estimates due to the different cement composition and temperatures of the surrounding area. With the technology Lu and her team have invented, engineers no longer have to rely on them. Instead, they can directly monitor the fresh concrete and accurately measure many of its properties at once.
The sensor communicates with engineers via a smartphone app exactly when the road is strong enough to handle heavy traffic. Construction workers can start the installation (安装) of the sensors by casually throwing them onto the ground of the concrete formwork and covering them with concrete. Next, they connect the sensor cable to a simple device that automatically starts recording data. Using the app, workers can receive information on real-time changes in the concrete strength for as long as the strength data is required.
The manufacturing of cement is responsible for 8% of the world’s carbon footprint. Construction codes call for a higher proportion of cement content in concrete mixes to ensure required strength levels. Lu’s team, however, found that too much cement could lead to premature cracks (裂缝) in road surfaces and then worked hard to achieve a solution that improved the design of concrete mixes based on data collected by the sensor. It reduces 20% to 25% the amount of cement used in concrete mixes. “In the field of civil engineering, if we don’t make an impact on the world, there won’t be a world to worry about,” Lu said.
28. For what help did INDOT ask Prof. Luna Lu?
A. Improving the concrete road’s sustainability.
B. Teaching them about knowledge of concrete roads.
C. Establishing reliable public transportation in America.
D. Enhancing people’s awareness of energy conservation.
29. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Concrete samples and engineers’ estimates.
B. The cement composition and local temperatures.
C. Accurate measurements of concrete’s properties.
D. The differences between lab and outdoor conditions.
30. What can we say about the new invention?
A. It’s power-saving. B. It’s user-friendly.
C. It has a reasonable price. D. It proves stable and durable.
31. How did Lu influence the world by adjusting the cement?
A. She has raised the bar of the construction industry.
B. She has remarkably reduced greenhouse emissions.
C. She has promoted the importance of civil engineering.
D. She has significantly decreased the occurrence of traffic accidents.
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. B 31. B
【解析】

【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Prof. Luna Lu, the acting head of Purdue’s Lyles School of Civil Engineering, and her lab started developing the technology in 2017, when the premature failure of newly repaired concrete road surfaces, due to insufficient knowledge of concrete’s strength levels, frequently caused traffic jams. Traffic jams waste 4 billion hours and 3 billion gallons of gas on a yearly basis. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) requested help in getting rid of the situation.(普渡大学莱尔斯土木工程学院的代理院长卢娜·卢教授及其团队于2017年开始研发这项技术。当时,由于对混凝土强度水平的了解不足,新修复的混凝土路面经常出现过早损坏的情况,从而导致交通堵塞。每年,交通堵塞造成的损失包括40亿小时的延误时间和 30 亿加仑的燃油消耗。印第安纳州交通部(INDOT)请求他们提供帮助,以解决这一问题)” 推知,INDOT寻求帮助是为了解决混凝土路面过早损坏及其引发的交通问题,其核心在于提升混凝土道路的可持续性与耐久性。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Traditional methods the industry has used for more than a century call for testing large samples of concrete at a lab or an on-site facility. Based on the data, engineers could estimate the strength level that a particular concrete mix will reach at a construction site.(该行业使用了一个多世纪的传统方法,即在实验室或现场设施中对大量混凝土样本进行测试。根据测试数据,工程师能够估算出特定混凝土混合物在建筑工地能达到的强度水平)”及“With the technology Lu and her team have invented, engineers no longer have to rely on them.(凭借卢及其团队所发明的技术,工程师们再也不必依赖它们)”可知,划线词them指代的是前文提到的传统方法所依赖的“混凝土样本”以及“工程师基于数据的估计”。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Construction workers can start the installation (安装) of the sensors by casually throwing them onto the ground of the concrete formwork and covering them with concrete. Next, they connect the sensor cable to simple device that automatically starts recording data. Using the app, workers can receive information on real-time changes in the concrete strength for as long as the strength data is required.(施工人员可以将传感器随意放置在混凝土模板的地面上,并用混凝土将其覆盖。随后,他们将传感器电缆连接到一个简单的设备上,该设备会自动开始记录数据。通过使用应用程序,施工人员可以随时获取混凝土强度的实时变化信息,只要需要这些强度数据即可)”可推知,该传感器安装便捷、操作简单,用户通过手机应用即可获取数据,说明这项发明非常用户友好;文中并未提及省电、价格或稳定耐用性。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The manufacturing of cement is responsible for 8% of the world’s carbon footprint.(水泥的生产占全球碳排放量的8%)”及“It reduces 20% to 25% the amount of cement used in concrete mixes.(它能使混凝土混合物中所使用的水泥用量减少20%至25%)”可推知,卢的团队通过传感器数据优化混凝土配合比,显著降低了水泥使用量,而水泥生产是温室气体排放的重要来源,因此这一调整大幅减少了温室气体排放。

In the history of Major League Baseball (MLB), various eras (时代) have defined the game, from the low-scoring dead-ball era to the modern live-ball era, followed by the regrettable steroid (类固醇) era. It seems that the history of this great American pastime is being rewritten once again.
Based on more than 100,000 games and 220,000 individual hits, a new study has found that over 500 home runs (本垒打) since 2010 can be put down to higher-than-average temperatures resulting from climate change — with several hundred more home runs per season to come if global warming continues. “There’s a clear physical mechanism at play — warmer temperatures reduce the density of air and a batted ball is consequently going to fly farther on a warm day,” said senior author Justin Mankin.
The researchers also accounted for a host of potential variables, such as the use of performance-enhancing drugs, the different dimensions of stadiums, the construction of bats and ball, and other technology intended for batters’ performance enhancement. The fact is that these variables don’t vary day to day or they won’t be affected if a day is unreasonably warm or cold.
This study is far from the first time that this idea of hotter weather juicing home run statistics has been proposed. During a broadcast, Tim McCarver, a major league catcher, once stated that climate change could be impacting the long ball by “making the air thin”. However, the comment was not well received at the time with a well-known sports website calling the theory “one of the stupidest things ever spoken on a television broadcast”.
When examining each major league ballpark in the US to measure how the average number of home runs per year could rise, they found that the open-air Wrigley Field — which hosts only a limited number of night games due to the local law — would experience more than 15 home runs per season. However, the roofed Tropicana Field would remain the level of one home run or less no matter how hot it gets outside.
“What these results make clear is that climate change is fundamentally going to transform nearly all aspects of society, from cultural touchstones like baseball to basic human well-being,” Mankin said. “Nothing can escape.”
32. What’s the focus of the new study?
A. The climatic conditions ideal for home runs.
B. The impact of MLB events on climate change.
C. The correlation between warm air and home runs.
D. The physics behind long-distance batted baseballs.
33. What is the implication of researchers’ taking account of potential baseball-related factors?
A. Batters’ performance can be improved in various ways.
B. The count of home runs varies slightly on a daily basis.
C. Baseball data collection is a complicated task.
D. Their findings are objective and reliable.
34. Which of the following might be Tim McCarver’s remark on the new study?
A. It was well-designed but poorly conducted.
B. It’s been proven effective in studying ball games.
C. It provided solid evidence for his previous claim.
D. It was a good start but the statistics were limited.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Climate-Ball Era of MLB Could Be Dawning
B. How MLB Should Respond to the Rising Temperatures
C. The American Culture Is Undergoing a New Revolution
D. How Climate Change Is Shaping Americans’ Leisure Activities
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍的是一项新研究发现气候变化导致的温度升高与美国职业棒球大联盟本垒打数量增加之间的关联。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Based on more than 100,000 games and 220,000 individual hits, a new study has found that over 500 home runs (本垒打) since 2010 can be put down to higher-than-average temperatures resulting from climate change — with several hundred more home runs per season to come if global warming continues. “There’s a clear physical mechanism at play — warmer temperatures reduce the density of air and a batted ball is consequently going to fly farther on a warm day,” said senior author Justin Mankin.(基于超过10万场比赛和22万次个人击球,一项新研究发现,自2010年以来,超过500个本垒打可以归因于气候变化导致的高于平均水平的温度——如果全球变暖持续下去,每个赛季还将增加数百个本垒打。资深作者Justin Mankin说:“这里有一个明确的物理机制在起作用——温度升高会降低空气密度,因此在温暖的天气里,击出的球会飞得更远。”)”可知,新研究的重点是温暖空气与本垒打数量之间的关联。

推理判断题。根据第三段“The researchers also accounted for a host of potential variables, such as the use of performance-enhancing drugs, the different dimensions of stadiums, the construction of bats and ball, and other technology intended for batters’ performance enhancement. The fact is that these variables don’t vary day to day or they won’t be affected if a day is unreasonably warm or cold. (研究人员还考虑了一系列潜在变量,如兴奋剂的使用、体育场的不同尺寸、球棒和球的构造,以及其他旨在提高击球手表现的技术。事实是,这些变量不会日复一日地变化,也不会因为某一天异常温暖或寒冷而受到影响。)”可知,研究人员排除各类干扰因素,让研究发现客观可靠。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“During a broadcast, Tim McCarver, a major league catcher, once stated that climate change could be impacting the long ball by “making the air thin”. (在一次广播中,大联盟捕手Tim McCarver曾表示,气候变化可能通过“使空气变稀薄”来影响本垒打。)”可知,Tim McCarver此前曾提出过气候变化影响本垒打的观点,而新研究为他的这一说法提供了确凿证据。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In the history of Major League Baseball (MLB), various eras (时代) have defined the game, from the low-scoring dead-ball era to the modern live-ball era, followed by the regrettable steroid (类固醇) era.(在美国职业棒球大联盟的历史上,不同的时代定义了这项运动,从低得分的死球时代到现代的活球时代,随后是令人遗憾的类固醇时代。)”以及第二段研究发现气候变化导致本垒打增加的内容可知,文章暗示MLB可能正在进入一个新的“气候球时代”。“The Climate-Ball Era of MLB Could Be Dawning”最能概括全文主旨。

What’s the difference between Sundays and weekdays? We can hardly answer it in our real life. From Monday to Friday we go to school, and we have to do so on Saturday and Sunday. Our rights of making use of our Sundays have been taken away by those who wish us to do well in our lessons. No doubt our teachers and parents love us. ____36____
What does Sunday really mean? On Sunday we should relax from a week’s hard work. We can do what we like or want to, such as going to the park, playing ball games with friends and so on. ____37____. But since we went to senior high school we’ve seldom enjoyed the Sunday’s pleasure. To go to college, we have to spend Sundays on piles of books and exam papers. ____38____. If this present situation lasts long, what a serious effect there will be!
____39____. Sundays are very good chances to train ourselves for all kinds of abilities. We can help our parents do some housework and observe our surroundings, from which we’re sure to learn what can’t be learned in class.
In short, for the youths, not only are we eager for knowledge but we are also hungry for colorful lives. Parents and teachers, please return Sundays to us if you really love us. ____40____.
A. Many of us are in poor condition because of extra work.
B. Therefore, it’s necessary for them to return our Sundays to us.
C. But I don’t think they know how necessary and important Sundays are to us all.
D. Let’s become the real masters of Sundays.
E. On the other hand, we young people will be the masters of the future.
F. After the relaxation, surely we can meet the next week’s study full of energy.
G. Only when we’ve obtained vast knowledge and skills shall we be able to serve our country in time.
【答案】36. C 37. F 38. A 39. E 40. D
【解析】
【导语】文章讨论了周日与工作日的区别,指出高中生和大学生因课业负担沉重而失去了周日的休息和快乐,呼吁家长和老师将周日还给年轻人,让他们在周日放松身心、锻炼能力,既能保持健康,又能更好地学习。
【36题详解】
上文“No doubt our teachers and parents love us. (毫无疑问,我们的老师和父母爱我们。)”, C项“But I don't think they know how necessary and important Sundays are to us all. (但我认为他们不知道周日对我们所有人来说是多么必要和重要。)”中But与上文形成转折,they指代“teachers and parents”,与上文衔接紧密,同时引出下文对周日意义的探讨。
【37题详解】
上文“On Sunday we should relax from a week's hard work. We can do what we like or want to, such as going to the park, playing ball games with friends and so on. (周日我们应该从一周的努力学习中放松。我们可以做自己喜欢的事,比如去公园,和朋友打球等等。)”说明周日应该放松,空格处应承接放松后的好处。F项“After the relaxation, surely we can meet the next week's study full of energy. (放松之后,我们肯定能精力充沛地迎接下周的学习。)”中After the relaxation与上文的relax呼应,说明放松后能更好地学习。
【38题详解】
上文“To go to college, we have to spend Sundays on piles of books and exam papers. (为了上大学,我们不得不在周日花大量时间在书本和试卷上。)”说明学生课业负担重,空格处应承接这一话题,说明后果。A项“Many of us are in poor condition because of extra work. (我们中的许多人因为额外的学习而身体状况不佳。)”中extra work与上文的piles of books and exam papers呼应,说明过度学习带来的身体问题,且与下文“If this present situation lasts long, what a serious effect there will be! (如果这种情况持续下去,将会产生多么严重的影响!)”形成因果关系。
【39题详解】
上文讨论了过度学习的危害,下文“Sundays are very good chances to train ourselves for all kinds of abilities. (周日是训练我们各种能力的好机会。)”说明周日的积极意义。空格处需要一个过渡句,从年轻人的角度引出周日的价值。E项“On the other hand, we young people will be the masters of the future. (另一方面,我们年轻人将是未来的主人。)”中On the other hand表示另一个角度,we young people与下文的train ourselves衔接,说明年轻人需要全面发展,引出下文周日锻炼能力的重要性。
【40题详解】
上文“Parents and teachers, please return Sundays to us if you really love us. (家长和老师们,如果你们真的爱我们,请把周日还给我们。)”是对家长和老师的呼吁,空格处应是文章的总结和号召。D项“Let's become the real masters of Sundays. (让我们成为周日真正的主人。)”中Let's呼应上文的呼吁语气,总结全文主旨——年轻人应该掌控周日,既能放松又能成长。

67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
The other day, I was driving home, a little upset because I hated working at the weekend. On the way, I decided to grab some veggies in the nearby greengrocer’s. Since there was still thin ice on the road, I took a glance at the rear mirror to make sure no pedestrians or vehicles came close, and slowly steered the wheel to the right. Then out of any of my expectancy my car bumped into an electric bike, giving out a harsh metallic clash. I collected myself and saw out of the window screen a boy lean on one side of the bike, one foot off the ground.
All of a sudden, a familiar scene flashed across my mind.
When I was in high school, I had fun riding my bike along the country road on sweltering and boring afternoons during summer holidays. Sometimes I carried my little brother to the only grocery store in the neighborhood where we could buy our favorite ice cream. Once we had an argument about what to buy. Seeing him leave the store in a temper, I jumped on the bike and tried to talk him into going back. Suddenly, he gave me a push and I inclined towards the middle of the road when a motorbike came in my face. I fell on the ground before I could see anything clearly. Luckily, I didn’t get hurt but still couldn’t rise to my feet. The motorist, a middle-aged man, ignoring his torn jeans, shed to check on me, “Are you okay? Your leg? Your foot?”
“I am all right, but...” I stared at him, terrified because I was sure he would ask for “big” sum of money for damage. Instead, he just let me go despite his wife’s protests. Guilty as I was, I was happy that I was spared. I was really grateful to the man for forgiving a silly kid who had made such a big mistake involuntarily.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;
Paragraph 1:
Seeing the same fright in the boy’s eyes, I quickly got out of my car.

Paragraph 2:
The boy offered to give me some money for the damage.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Seeing the same fright in the boy’s eyes, I quickly got out of my car. “Are you okay? Your leg? Your foot?” I asked the same questions anxiously. The boy leaning on the bike shook his head nervously and spoke nothing, just staring at me with his blue eyes wide open. I could see why. My car was badly damaged at the rear, which obviously would cost me lots of money to repair it. I just smiled and turned to check my car. Suddenly, the boy said something behind me.
Paragraph 2:
The boy offered to give me some money for the damage. I turned around and looked at him in the eyes and smiled again. “No worries, kid,” I said, “It is not a big deal. I can handle it myself.” The boy was puzzled. “I experienced the same thing when I was at your age and I was forgiven, so are you now. Just go home and be careful.” I explained to him. An obvious surprise flashed across his face but was quickly replaced by great relief. He got off his bike and bowed deeply, saying, “Thank you, sir.” I smiled again, knowing that: A seed of kindness and forgiveness was planted.

For the past 40 years I’ve done the same thing — teaching. We know why kids drop out from school. It’s poverty, low attendance, or bad classmate influences. But one of the things is the value and importance of human connection, relationships.
A colleague said to me one time, “They don’t pay me to like the kids. They pay me to teach a lesson. That’s all.” Well, I said to her, “You know, kids don’t learn from people they don’t like. Your year is going to be long and arduous, dear.”
I have had classes that were so low that I cried. I wondered, how am I going to take this group in nine months from where they are to where they need to be? And it was difficult. And so — I gave a quiz, 20 questions. A student missed 18. I put a “+2” on his paper and a big smiley face. He said, “Ms. Pierson, is this an F?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “Then why’d you put a smiley face?” I said, “Because you got two right. You didn’t miss them all. And when we review this, won’t you do better?” He said, “Yes, ma’am, I can do better.”
You see, “-18” sucks (抽取) all the life out of you. “+2” said, “I am not all bad.”
Can we stand to have more relationships? Of course not. And you know your toughest kids are never absent.
Teaching and learning should bring joy. Every child deserves a champion, and an adult who will never give up on them should believe they become the best that they can possibly be.
24. According to the author, some students left school when young mainly because ________.
A. they could not afford the education
B. they didn’t get on well with the teachers
C. the schools couldn’t admit so many students
D. they followed the examples of their classmates
25. What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Tough. B. Happy. C. Effective. D. Exciting.
26. When the student who got 18 of the twenty questions wrong saw the “+2” and a big smiley face, ________.
A. he felt hurt by the teacher
B. he felt ashamed at the result
C. he felt pleased to have passed the exam
D. he felt doubtful about what the teacher meant
27. Where is this passage probably taken from?
A. An educational research paper. B. An advertisement in a newspaper.
C. A speech by an excellent teacher. D. A storybook written by a teacher.
C
An increasing number of US interstates are set to try out a Purdue University invention, which is a sensor (传感器) that allows concrete to “talk”. Prof. Luna Lu, the acting head of Purdue’s Lyles School of Civil Engineering, and her lab started developing the technology in 2017, when the premature failure of newly repaired concrete road surfaces, due to insufficient knowledge of concrete’s strength levels, frequently caused traffic jams. Traffic jams waste 4 billion hours and 3 billion gallons of gas on a yearly basis. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) requested help in getting rid of the situation.
Traditional methods the industry has used for more than a century call for testing large samples of concrete at a lab or an on-site facility. Based on the data, engineers could estimate the strength level that a particular concrete mix will reach at a construction site. Although these tests can be well understood by the industry, differences between lab and outdoor conditions can lead to inaccurate estimates due to the different cement composition and temperatures of the surrounding area. With the technology Lu and her team have invented, engineers no longer have to rely on them. Instead, they can directly monitor the fresh concrete and accurately measure many of its properties at once.
The sensor communicates with engineers via a smartphone app exactly when the road is strong enough to handle heavy traffic. Construction workers can start the installation (安装) of the sensors by casually throwing them onto the ground of the concrete formwork and covering them with concrete. Next, they connect the sensor cable to a simple device that automatically starts recording data. Using the app, workers can receive information on real-time changes in the concrete strength for as long as the strength data is required.
The manufacturing of cement is responsible for 8% of the world’s carbon footprint. Construction codes call for a higher proportion of cement content in concrete mixes to ensure required strength levels. Lu’s team, however, found that too much cement could lead to premature cracks (裂缝) in road surfaces and then worked hard to achieve a solution that improved the design of concrete mixes based on data collected by the sensor. It reduces 20% to 25% the amount of cement used in concrete mixes. “In the field of civil engineering, if we don’t make an impact on the world, there won’t be a world to worry about,” Lu said.
28. For what help did INDOT ask Prof. Luna Lu?
A. Improving the concrete road’s sustainability.
B. Teaching them about knowledge of concrete roads.
C. Establishing reliable public transportation in America.
D. Enhancing people’s awareness of energy conservation.
29. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Concrete samples and engineers’ estimates.
B. The cement composition and local temperatures.
C. Accurate measurements of concrete’s properties.
D. The differences between lab and outdoor conditions.
30. What can we say about the new invention?
A. It’s power-saving. B. It’s user-friendly.
C. It has a reasonable price. D. It proves stable and durable.
31. How did Lu influence the world by adjusting the cement?
A. She has raised the bar of the construction industry.
B. She has remarkably reduced greenhouse emissions.
C. She has promoted the importance of civil engineering.
D. She has significantly decreased the occurrence of traffic accidents.
D
In the history of Major League Baseball (MLB), various eras (时代) have defined the game, from the low-scoring dead-ball era to the modern live-ball era, followed by the regrettable steroid (类固醇) era. It seems that the history of this great American pastime is being rewritten once again.
Based on more than 100,000 games and 220,000 individual hits, a new study has found that over 500 home runs (本垒打) since 2010 can be put down to higher-than-average temperatures resulting from climate change — with several hundred more home runs per season to come if global warming continues. “There’s a clear physical mechanism at play — warmer temperatures reduce the density of air and a batted ball is consequently going to fly farther on a warm day,” said senior author Justin Mankin.
The researchers also accounted for a host of potential variables, such as the use of performance-enhancing drugs, the different dimensions of stadiums, the construction of bats and ball, and other technology intended for batters’ performance enhancement. The fact is that these variables don’t vary day to day or they won’t be affected if a day is unreasonably warm or cold.
This study is far from the first time that this idea of hotter weather juicing home run statistics has been proposed. During a broadcast, Tim McCarver, a major league catcher, once stated that climate change could be impacting the long ball by “making the air thin”. However, the comment was not well received at the time with a well-known sports website calling the theory “one of the stupidest things ever spoken on a television broadcast”.
When examining each major league ballpark in the US to measure how the average number of home runs per year could rise, they found that the open-air Wrigley Field — which hosts only a limited number of night games due to the local law — would experience more than 15 home runs per season. However, the roofed Tropicana Field would remain the level of one home run or less no matter how hot it gets outside.
“What these results make clear is that climate change is fundamentally going to transform nearly all aspects of society, from cultural touchstones like baseball to basic human well-being,” Mankin said. “Nothing can escape.”
32. What’s the focus of the new study?
A. The climatic conditions ideal for home runs.
B. The impact of MLB events on climate change.
C. The correlation between warm air and home runs.
D. The physics behind long-distance batted baseballs.
33. What is the implication of researchers’ taking account of potential baseball-related factors?
A. Batters’ performance can be improved in various ways.
B. The count of home runs varies slightly on a daily basis.
C. Baseball data collection is a complicated task.
D. Their findings are objective and reliable.
34. Which of the following might be Tim McCarver’s remark on the new study?
A. It was well-designed but poorly conducted.
B. It’s been proven effective in studying ball games.
C. It provided solid evidence for his previous claim.
D. It was a good start but the statistics were limited.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Climate-Ball Era of MLB Could Be Dawning
B. How MLB Should Respond to the Rising Temperatures
C. The American Culture Is Undergoing a New Revolution
D. How Climate Change Is Shaping Americans’ Leisure Activities

67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
The other day, I was driving home, a little upset because I hated working at the weekend. On the way, I decided to grab some veggies in the nearby greengrocer’s. Since there was still thin ice on the road, I took a glance at the rear mirror to make sure no pedestrians or vehicles came close, and slowly steered the wheel to the right. Then out of any of my expectancy my car bumped into an electric bike, giving out a harsh metallic clash. I collected myself and saw out of the window screen a boy lean on one side of the bike, one foot off the ground.
All of a sudden, a familiar scene flashed across my mind.
When I was in high school, I had fun riding my bike along the country road on sweltering and boring afternoons during summer holidays. Sometimes I carried my little brother to the only grocery store in the neighborhood where we could buy our favorite ice cream. Once we had an argument about what to buy. Seeing him leave the store in a temper, I jumped on the bike and tried to talk him into going back. Suddenly, he gave me a push and I inclined towards the middle of the road when a motorbike came in my face. I fell on the ground before I could see anything clearly. Luckily, I didn’t get hurt but still couldn’t rise to my feet. The motorist, a middle-aged man, ignoring his torn jeans, shed to check on me, “Are you okay? Your leg? Your foot?”
“I am all right, but...” I stared at him, terrified because I was sure he would ask for “big” sum of money for damage. Instead, he just let me go despite his wife’s protests. Guilty as I was, I was happy that I was spared. I was really grateful to the man for forgiving a silly kid who had made such a big mistake involuntarily.
