Finally, hold the “helicopter” and throw it hard into the air. The “helicopter” won’t fall straight to the ground. Instead, it will spin (旋转) its wings and fall slowly down like a real one. 25.

A report (B) For most of us, summer is not so pleasant to be in a place where air conditioning is not easy to get. But for those who like doing it yourself (DIY), it’s not the same. A young man from Bangladesh designed an air conditioning (调节) system called the Eco Cooler. It does not need power, and is made of the world’s most common waste—plastic bottles. The Eco Cooler is simple to build. First, to fix it, you should take away a window and replace it with the window. Second, you should cut a board into the size of a window and cut some bottles—neck sized holes onto the board. Then, you have to put the bottlenecks, cut from the plastic bottles, into the holes. The next step is to fix the design onto the window frame (框架) with the wider side facing outwards. And this is it. The Eco Cooler then works by catching the winds and sending them inside the building. It can reduce the temperature of a room by as much as 5°C—a big difference. This idea was to show the young man’s Eco Cooler to more people. With volunteers, he helped local people build and fix the units, and taught them how to make it by themselves. The Eco Cooler can surely make a big difference. 30. To build the Eco Cooler is not ________. A. cheap B. easy C. expensive D. difficult 31. What does the underlined word “replace” mean in Chinese? A. 连接 B. 替代 C. 装饰 D. 清理 32. How does the Eco Cooler work? A. By sending winds out of the building B. By catching winds inside C. By sending winds into the building D. By catching winds outside 33. What can we learn from the text? A. The Cooler is good to the environment. B. The young is a clever businessman. C. An Eco Cooler can reduce the temperature by 15°. D. All the local will use the Eco Cooler. 34. What’s the best title of this text? A. A man and his DIY dream B. The best air conditioning in summer C. The reasons for making the Eco Cooler D. DIY air conditioning made from plastic bottles (C) If you want to become a fluent (流利的) English speaker, you should take some advice: There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening. Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meanings of the unfamiliar (不熟悉的) words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it. As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening. For listening, you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for English learners. Or if you are good at listening, you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and taking some notes. If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically (自动地), and you can be sure that with a little effort, they will become perfect. 35. According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills? A. Reading and listening B. Reading and writing C. Listening and speaking D. Writing and speaking 36. The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by “________”. A. discover B. meet by chance C. look for D. find out 37. Which is not mentioned (提到) to practise listening? A. English cartoons B. English movies C. English music D. VOA 38. The author seems to agree with the view that________. A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day B. you needn’t practice listening if you keep on reading every day C. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening D. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing 39. The passage is mainly about how to________. A. be better at English speaking and writing B. deal with new words in reading C. read more English books D. choose reading materials 四、信息还原 (5%) 阅读下面的短文，从所给选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 (选项中有两项为多余选项) Years ago, I was on a train ride into the city when I noticed a family getting on board.
