I knew that I was doing something good for the planet. But I still viewed giving up my car as something reserved for the committed and adventurous people, something that Greenpeace volunteers did to make the world better. I live in Colorado; e-biking would mean freezing in the winter and sweating in the summer. It was the right thing to do, I thought, but it was not going to be fun. I was very wrong. Before selling our car, I worried most about riding in the cold winter months. But I quickly learned that, as the saying goes, there is no bad weather, only bad clothes I wear gloves, warm socks, and a ski jacket when I ride, and am almost never too cold. And though I, like many would-be cyclists, was worried about arriving at the office sweaty in hotter months, the e-bike solved my problem. Even when it was 90 degrees outside, I didn’t break a sweat, thanks to my bike’s. pedal-assist mode (脚踏辅助模式). If I’m honest, sometimes I didn’t even pedal; I just switched to pedal-assist mode, sat back, and enjoyed my ride. But biking to work wasn’t just pleasant — it was totally enjoyable. One day, shortly after selling our car, I hopped on my bike after a stressful day at work and rode home down a street edged with changing fall leaves. I felt more connected to the physical environment around me than I had when I’d traveled the same route surrounded by metal and glass. I have to say, this sensation made me happier and healthier. Of course, e-bikes aren’t going to replace every car on every trip. In a country where uncontrolled stretching of suburbs and malls and unprotected bike paths are the norm, it’s unrealistic to expect e-bikes to replace cars in the way that the Model T (福特旗下汽车) replaced horses. But as an individual, making short trips on an e-bike would likely save money, cut carbon footprints, and improve health and happiness. 41. What did the author initially think of letting go of his car? A. A healthy move. B. A good decision. C. A call of duty. D. A difficult choice. 42. How did the author feel about the actual experience of riding to work? A. Panicked. B. Amazed. C. Embarrassed. D. Confused. 43. What does the author say about the e-bike? A. It makes commuting in hot weather more enjoyable and less sweaty. B. It is impractical for daily commuting in the cold winter months. C. Its pedal-assist mode helps the author exercise while commuting. D. It can keep the author warm when riding it in cold weather. 44. What does the underlined part “this sensation” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Desire to head home faster. B. Interest in exploring new routes. C. Love for exposure to nature. D. Relief from work stress. 45. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The Model T will be back quickly. B. E-bikes will replace cars very soon. C. Cyclists should do more to protect themselves. D. E-bike asks for friendly transport network. C Have you ever wondered how other people start their day? Morning routines are usually private, witnessed only by family members if they’re awake, and yet these routines are very important for setting a productive tone for the rest of the day. Especially when mornings are cold and dark, there is something fascinating about discovering how others get out of bed each day. This is the intriguing concept behind a website called My Morning Routine (MMR). Founded in 2012 by Michael Xander and Benjamin Spall MMR has interviewed more than 218 people about their early-morning habits, always asking the same basic set of questions. Every Wednesday an inspiring routine story is published online. MMR has a statistics page that was started after 133 morning routine interviews were completed. It’s now updated every week. The statistics illustrate the common denominators across all interviews. Here are some of the key findings. Coffee is king among the participants, with water coming in a far-off second as their favorite drink in the morning, and nearly everybody hates email. Do you answer email first in the morning or leave it until later in the day? Of all the questions they ask the participants, this is the one that never fails to stir up an emotive response. So why do we read about other people’s morning routines? Well, first of all, it’s fun. Perhaps your first impression is like mine — skeptical that such a thing how could possibly be interesting. It is, quite literally, catching a glimpse of a part of people’s lives we don’t normally see. Second, I think many people harbor a secret desire to improve their morning routines, to get better at starting the day off right: The idea behind MMR is to influence readers to make adjustments to their own routines and to take bits and pieces of other’ successful routines and incorporate them into their own. 46. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To show some characteristics of MMR. B. To suggest learning from others’ routines. C. To introduce the reason for founding MMR. D. To explain the importance of morning routines. 47. What do we know about MMR from the text? A. It aims to collect healthy morning routines. B. It is a world-known social network website. C. It keeps updating its statistics on a daily basis. D. It provides an inspiring routine story every week. 48. What is a common morning routine according to MMR? A. Drinking coffee B. Reading the news. C. Replying to emails. D. Conducting an interview. 49. What does the underlined phrase “stir up” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. make up B. lead to C. cancel D. keep away 50. What is the author’s attitude towards reading other people’s morning routines? A. Skeptical B. Supportive C. Negative D. Uninterested D It’s essential for parents to teach their kids financial responsibility and that money should be earned. Still many child-development experts agree that trying a child’s allowance to chores (家务劳动) can be a slippery slope. Here’s why. Susie Walton, master instructor at Peace in Your Home advises to keep chores and allowances totally separate. “Allowance is one thing. When it comes to chores, life skills, responsibilities — that’s a whole different thing,” says Walton. Walton says, “When kids aren’t doing a chore, you don’t say, ‘Well, there goes your allowance.’ You’re going to sit them down and ask what’s going on. ‘We’re a team. We’re a family. We’ve got to have them done.’” Besides, by paying children for chores with an allowance, you’ll also be sending the message that work isn’t worth doing unless they’re getting paid for it. There are times when it would make sense to pay kids for chores. Most financial and child-development experts agree that it’s a fine idea to pay children money for extra jobs that are outside their normal set of chores, such as washing windows, washing the car or helping to clean out the garage — especially if the child is saving for a big item. This may even develop an entrepreneurial (企业家的) spirit to think outside of the box to earn money. For parents who are concerned that their children won’t learn the value of a dollar if the allowance isn’t tied to household chores, note that there are still plenty of money management skills to be learned from a straight allowance. Depending on the age, kids can be made responsible for paying for their own toys or snacks. Some parents even require that kids set aside a percentage of their allowance towards savings. “I really like having my own money,” says Kevin, 9. “It’s up to me if I want to buy the cheap toy now, or save and get the better toy.” And that’s a good lesson to learn at 9 years old. No matter which allowance route you take in parenthood, kids will feel empowered by being able to handle their own money. 51. Which of the following would Susie Walton probably agree with? A. Kids should be paid for doing chores all the time. B. A child’s allowance shouldn’t be tied to chores. C. Doing chores teaches kids the value of work. D. Kids shouldn’t be forced to do chores at home. 52. According to Susie Walton, if kids don’t do chores, parents should ________. A. teach them the entrepreneurial spirit B. give them a smaller allowance than usual C. talk to them about family responsibilities D. punish them by not giving them allowance 53. In Para. 6, “a straight allowance” probably means “________”. A. money earned by kids themselves by doing part-time jobs B. money given by charity organizations C. money given by parents and not dependent on chores D. money earned by doing everyday chores 54. What is the author’s attitude towards Kevin’s action? A. Unfavorable. B. Worried. C. Doubtful. D. Approving. 55. The text is mainly about ________. A. the importance of kids helping parents with chores B. whether parents should pay kids for chores C. the advantages of kids handling their own money D. parents should give kids regular allowances 五、阅读表达：（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） A kind father lost about 57 kg in just six months after being shamed dieting when he became too fat to play with his young daughter. Chris Willis, 47, tipped the scales at 172 kg following a lifetime of fatty foods. But overweight Chris turned to dieting when he realized he was too fat to play with his ten-year-old daughter, Sophie, who had a passion for running. The determined dad cut out all the fatty foods he had enjoyed, and began exercising. He now weights 105 kg after losing 10 kg every month since July. Chris, who lives in Shepreth. Cambridgeshire with his wife Jackie. 51, a coach driver, said: “The hardest thing was seeing my little girl in the garden and not being able to join in because I was so unhealthy. But now I am making up for lost time — we do so much together and it is just great.” Chris used to consume an incredible 5,000 calories a day, before he switched to healthy lifestyle. On average he would eat five slices of bread for breakfast as a mid morning meal before a full English breakfast. He would then eat a sandwich, a large pack of crisps and a pasty for lunch before chewing a whole packet of biscuits in the afternoon. For dinner Chris would demolish a curry and, ice cream, and also drink four pints of beer very quickly, before feeding on fatty snacks all evening. Amazingly Chris claims he still eats the same amount — but has simply cut out the unhealthy fatty foods. Chris said: “My family and friends have been so supportive and my wife and daughter are so pleased for me. In fact it’s them I did it for more than anyone else. The whole journey has been amazing and I am still shocked myself that I have managed to lose so much weight.” Chris is now aiming for a new target weight of 96 kg. 56.
