黑。
A
Darshan Karwat is making headlines for having maintained an incredibly plain and continued
lifestyle during his student years. The man gave up fast food, new clothes, and even toilet paper, until he got
to a point where his trash（垃圾）for an entire year fit in just two plastic bags!
Karwat, who is originally from India, started the trash-free experiment when he lived in Ann Arbor,
Michigan, and managed to keep it going for two and a half years. In the first year, he produced only 7.5
pounds of trash, and in the second year, he brought that number down to 6 pounds, which is a mind-blowing
0.4 percent of the 1,500 pounds of yearly trash produced by the average American.
Looking back, Karwat says that his inspiration to start the project came from a radio show The Story, on
which he heard of a British couple who lived trash-free.
His trash mostly consisted of a few chip bags, glass milk-bottle caps, fruit stickers, and broken glass. He
obviously had to make lots of sacrifices to achieve this – he stopped buying any kind of packaged food 3
including cheeses, only drank milk from recycled glass bottles, and gave up on buying new clothes or stuff
for his home – no gadgets, furniture, or even cups. He began carrying his own fork, spoon, plate, and a bowl
everywhere he went, just to avoid plastic cutlery（餐具）.
―I needed to change the way I lived, and I had to get creative,‖ he added. ―When a restaurant furnished a
napkin-wrapped（包纸的）fork and knife, I asked the server to change them for cutlery without the napkin.
I’d remember to say ―No straw!‖ after asking for water and to make sure the veggie（素食者）burger I
ordered didn’t come with a wooden pick holding it together. I did what I had to do, and it was awkward.‖
21．What is the passage mainly about?
A．How a person inspires others
B．How Darshan Karwat gets famous.
C．Darshan Karwat and his no trash experiment.
D．A plain and sustainable lifestyle attracts the public.
22. What did Karwat buy when he was making no-trash experiment?
A．Cheeses. B．Furniture.
C．Milk. D．Gadgets.
23．What Karwat said in the last paragraph shows that .
A．he seldom went to a restaurant
B．it wasn’t convenient to live the life
C．the server seemed cold to him
D．he was proud of what he had been doing
B
To move visual technology into the future, sometimes it helps to make a little noise. Researchers
have used sound waves to produce floating 3-D images, create a sense of touch and even supply a
soundtrack.
Since the 1940s, scientists have toyed with the concept of acoustic levitation(声悬浮), the use of
soundwave vibrations（震动） to trap tiny things in midair. The technology has gained greater capabilities in
the past decade. Some researchers believe this improvement could lead to applications such as contributing
to novel 3-D printing methods, or creating displays that would be visible from any angle without requiring a
screen.
Other researchers have also worked on visual displays that use acoustic levitation. In addition to visuals,
the system can also produce audible noise to give the display a soundtrack. And the ultrasound speakers can
also concentrate vibrations in one spot so that a finger might feel a sense pushing back—a little like the
object shown by the floating image is really there. Soundwaves create a 3-D display!
Display without a screen is remarkably useful. It means that everybody in the room can see the
image—any angle, location—and that’s extremely helpful. As a communications system, such a display
might one day allow users to chat with a 3-D projection(投影) of a person who can turn his or her head to
follow as they move around a room.
The display will require a lot more work before you can install it in your living room, however. So far,
this has been done in the research laboratory. We need to push it a little bit harder. We need to do more
analysis to see if it would make sense to create a real display that people would have at home. The current
system can only show simple graphics, such as a smiley face or figure eight, in real time.
Still, we are optimistic about the potential for this type of technology. If the system had only one
speaker-covered surface instead of two, it could generate images that are bigger than the device itself. We
can’t make a TV image that’s bigger than the TV—even a projector has to have a projection screen that’s
bigger than the image itself. But with a volumetric(容积的) display, a small, portable device might produce
a much larger picture. We can imagine, in the future, having volumetric displays in watches, for example, 4
that create large images that just project out of your watch.
24．From the first two paragraphs soundwave vibrations can be used to _________.
A．catch very small objects in midair
B．develop 3-D printer’s capabilities
C．replace a creative display screen
D．compose soundtracks by making no noise
25. What do we know about display without a screen?
A．It has resulted in visual technology.
B．It is possible to see the image from any direction.
C．It is already ripe to create a real one at home.
D．It has yet to be tested in the research laboratory.
26．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A．Outlooks for the new technology.
B．Situations of the modern technology.
C．Praise for the cutting-edge technology.
D．Room for the technical improvement.
27．What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A．Hearing Is Seeing—Sound Waves Create a 3-D Display
B．Seeing is Believing—3-D Printing Methods Arrive
C．Advancing Sense of Touch—3-D Images Float in the Air
D．Promoting TV Technology—Chat with 3-D Projections
C
The world we live in is becoming increasingly complex and uncertain. And with it, the conventional
thinking of yesterday is no longer sufficient. Creating real breakthrough opportunities requires a
fundamental change in our thinking. As Einstein said, "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of
thinking we used when we created them.‖
There's no better example of this than the myth of the four-minute mile.
For centuries, runners had been attempting to run a mile in under four minutes. In the 1950s, the attempt
to break the barrier took on renewed importance, and a number of famous runners publicly and
unsuccessfully attempted the challenge. Many of the newspapers of the day began to question whether
humans would ever be able to run a sub-four-minute mile. Then, in 1954, a man named Roger Bannister did
the unthinkable. He broke through the imaginary barrier, running the mile in 3 minutes and 59.4 seconds. It
was an amazing achievement.
But here's what's really interesting: it was only forty-six days later that another runner broke Bannister's
record. And the following year, two new runners broke the four-minute mark in the same race. Dozens
followed, and as of this writing, more than 1,400 runners have accomplished the goal, including one runner
who ran two miles in less than eight minutes.
Did something change with respect to human body, track conditions, weather patterns, running shoes, or
the human diet between the start of Bannister's race and the few years that followed? No. So what explains
the sudden and dramatic explosion of athletic achievement?
The myth's unimaginable power over runners had lifted. What Bunnister had done was not just break the
four — minute — mile barrier; he shattered(粉碎)the myth that created the barrier in the first place. This
paradigm (榜样)had offered a set of actions available for runners to take. Runners were really free to run
through the invented boundary.
Creating breakthroughs requires shattering the myths that limit our imagination and lock us into
conventional thinking. Think about your own situation. What myths are you stuck in? And what would be 5
possible if you had the courage to challenge the myths?
28．What is needed to create breakthroughs?
A．Conventional thinking. B．Changes in our thinking.
C．Complex situation. D．Einstein's encouragement.
29．What was the real barrier that kept runners succeeding in the four-minute mile?
A．The belief that it was unachievable.
B．Lack of professional training.
C．The poor track conditions.
D．Lack of sufficient diet.
30．The example of Roger Bannister is used to _________________.
A．list a new record in the race B．prove newspapers are wrong
C．show barrier can be broken D．call on us to learn from him
31．What does the writer try to explain in Paragraph 6?
A．The power of the myth.
B．The achievements of Bannister.
C．The importance of running freely.
D．The significance of breaking barriers.
32．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Creating Breakthroughs B．Accepting the Myths
C．Locking Your Imagination D．Becoming the Best Athlete
D
It’s difficult to imagine now, but at certain points in the Earth’s history, ice covered the entire planet.
This frozen Earth, nicknamed Snowball Earth, was ―so severe that the Earth’s entire surface, from pole to
pole, including the oceans, completely froze over‖, said Melissa Hage, an environmental scientist at Emory
University in Georgia.
In 1840, Louis Agassiz, a Swiss natural scientist, was among the first to acknowledge and provide
evidence that the Earth had gone through ice ages. Joseph Kirschvink, an American geologist, later created
the term ―Snowball Earth‖ in a 1992 textbook.
Scientists believe that four severe ice ages occurred between 750 million and 580 million years ago,
probably because the Earth’s lands were all located at or near the equator (赤道), which resulted in increased
weathering (风化). Weathering is happening when wind and rain break down rocks and minerals on the
planets surface. The process leads to decreased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, which allows more
heat to get away from the surface and into space, cooling the planet, causing the planet into a deep freeze.
The severe ice ages eventually melted away. Scientist believe that volcanoes continued to pump carbon
dioxide into the atmosphere throughout the ice ages, eventually warming the planet enough that the water
cycle could restart. As the Earth warmed and came out of its deep freeze. a huge explosion of life occurred.
known as the Cambrian (寒武纪) explosion.
Will we see another Snowball Earth in our future? According to Hage, it’s unlikely, due to the
spread-out of the continents. ―Even with extreme winters, continental ice sheets would form, which would
stop continental weathering and allow carbon dioxide to build up in the atmosphere, leading to warming
rather than freezing,‖ she said.
33．What do we know about the Earth according to the passage?
A．The term ―Snowball Earth‖ was first used in 1840.
B．Millions of years ago, the Earths lands weren’t where they are now.
C．Weathering was the main factor of warming the Earth. 6
D．The Earth was completely covered with ice during the Cambrian period.
34．What probably led to the end of the ice ages?
A．Heat’s escaping. B．An unknown reason.
C．Carbon dioxide from volcanoes. D．A force from the outer space.
35．What is the best title for the text?
A．Snowball Earth: The End of the Life
B．Some Severe lee Ages in the Earths History
C．Frozen Earth: Another lee Age Is Coming
D．Snowball Earth: Will the Blue Planet Go White Again?

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you’re going abroad for college, you might be thinking about how to get yourself a safe and cozy
