Sales of electric vehicles (EVs), like electric cars and electric buses, grew 40 percent last year worldwide. Nearly a third of drivers want their next car to be electric.
But EVs are nothing new. Scottish inventor Robert Anderson developed the first electric carriage (马车) around 1832, then William Morrison of Iowa perfected the model years later. By the turn of the century, nearly a third of all road cars in the US were electric. One of the earliest fans of electric cars, Thomas Edison said that electric cars would need to depend on powerful batteries (电池), though he was unsuccessful in developing one himself. However, one of today’s best-known electric car companies called Tesla has successfully produced electric ones.
EVs are becoming more affordable though some of them are still expensive. Tesla’s latest one will start at $200,000, while the cheapest model is $41,000. Plenty of others are even more panies like Nissan and Chevy all offer models for around $30,000. Meanwhile, many states in the US will offer buying incentives (刺激) if people are choosing an electric car.
In China, there are about 49,000 public energy stations outside, which make it easy to get electricity. But for most electric car owners, charging (充电) at home is the way to go. It takes longer, but you can do it overnight when electricity is cheapest.
Most EVs get about 250 miles from a full charge, which is far less than the distance most gas-powered cars can go on a full tank. But EVs are catching up. Tesla comes the closest. Its 2020 Model S gets about 400 miles on a single charge, and the newer 2021 one gets closer to 500. Charging technology is also improving. For example, BMW makes a fast-charging system that adds about 60 miles of drive in about six minutes.
EVs produce far fewer wastes than common cars do, however, they aren’t without environmental problems. For example, coal is still burned to create the electricity that charges them. EV production is also harmful because of the need to extract lithium (提炼锂) for the batteries.
24. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________ of EV.
A. the inventors B. the sales C. the advantages D. the development
25. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The price of EVs is keeping rising these days.
B. Half of the families will choose EVs in the near future.
C. Producing an EV will also cause an environmental problem.
D. It’s still difficult to get charged while driving an EV outside.
26. How does the writer show the improvement of charging technology in Paragraph 5
A. By listing numbers. B. By expressing ideas.
C. By giving reasons. D. By comparing differences.
27. The passage is written to ________.
A. introduce the facts about EVs B. guide people how to save electricity
C. encourage people to choose EVs D. make people know the history of EVs
C
The Fisherman and His Soul
“No,” cries the Fisherman, “I cannot be at peace. You tell me to do bad things. I hate you. Why are you
doing this to me ”
And his Soul (灵魂) answers, “For three years, I have no heart. Without a heart, I learn to do bad things. And I like doing bad things.”
“What are you saying ” says the Fisherman.
“You know,” replies the Soul. “You know well. Do you not remember But don’t worry. Now you cannot feel pain (疼痛), but you can cause pain. You cannot give pleasure, but you can receive it.”
The Fisherman hears these words and he is afraid.
“No,” says the Fisherman to his Soul. “You are evil (邪恶). And you are teaching me bad things. You want me to forget about my love, the Mermaid (美人鱼).”
“Why do I not have a heart Do not forget!” says the Soul. “Come, follow me! Let’s go to another city. We have nine bags of gold.”
“No,” cries the Fisherman, and he throws the nine bags of gold on the ground.“I don’t want to be with you. I Don’t want to travel with you.”
The Fisherman turns his back to the moon. He takes his little knife and he tries to cut his shadow (影子) off his body. He wants to send away his Soul again. But nothing happens. He cannot cut his shadow off.
“The Witch’s spell (女巫的咒语) cannot work twice,” his Soul says to him. “I cannot leave you. You cannot send me away again. Man can send his Soul away once in his life. When you take back your soul, you must keep it forever.”
The Fisherman grows pale and cries, “She is a false Witch!”
“No,” answers his Soul. “She is not false. Think twice about her words.”
28.How does the Fisherman feel after the Soul tells him to do bad things
A. Excited. B. Lucky. C. Angry. D. Worried.

A. He tries to tell interesting stories. B. He tries to be good and do good things.

30.What can we learn from the passage

31.What does the underlined word “words” mean

C. The Fisherman mustn’t keep his soul forever.
D. The Fisherman can send away his soul only once.

Awe（敬畏） is the feeling we get in the presence of something vast that challenges our understanding of the world, like looking up at millions of stars in the night sky or shaking hands with a basketball superstar. When people feel awe, they may use other words to talk about the experience, such as wonder, amazement or excitement.
We often think about awe when we experience uncommon and extraordinary(非凡的) events, such as viewing a sunrise over the Grand Canyon or watching Olympians break world records. But when scientists study people’s experiences of awe, they suggest awe is also found in everyday life—watching a gingko tree change from green to yellow, or seeing a stranger give food to a homeless person.
The feeling of awe affects the way we view ourselves. The experience of awe can have a deep influence on our mental (心理的) health, by allowing us to put our worries into perspective. When we are in the presence of something vast and indescribable, we feel unimportant, and so do our worries. The experience of awe lifts us out of the common practical thoughts that control our daily lives and it allows us to have inner peace.
In areas where the population can easily get to beautiful green spaces, people report greater happiness and goodwill toward others. A study showed that older adults who took weekly 15-minute outdoor walks in nature for eight weeks reported increased positive emotions and less pain in their daily lives.
People in awe are more likely to show kindness and feel a greater sense of connection to others and the
world. In moments of awe, we direct ourselves from the sense that we are solely (独自地) in control of our own future to the feeling we are part of a community. When we give less attention to our own goals and needs, we are more likely to be able to notice others and what they may be experiencing.
In sum, awe arises when we run into the wonders of life and leads to a disappearing of the self. Stepping outside of oneself is a valuable skill. It is possible to find awe-inspiring moments in all different places. Therefore，actively look for the experiences that feed your own hunger for awe，be it through admiring the trees in your neighborhood, or seeing the goodness in others. Take the time to slow down and open your mind to those things which you do not fully understand. You will be the better for it—and, as your feelings of awe spread through acts of kindness, so will the rest of us.
32. What can we learn from the passage？
A. Meeting strangers often brings feelings of excitement.
B. Even common daily events can lead to the feeling of awe.
C. Uncommon events are usually related to the beauty of nature.
D. Greater happiness can result from giving ourselves more attention.
33. The words “put our worries into perspective” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “　 ”.
A. get used to our worries completely
B. deal with our worries as soon as possible
C. share our worries with family and close friends
D. understand the real importance of our worries
34. A person who has just experienced awe will probably 　 　.
A. give a helping hand to those in need B. report feeling more self-important
C. separate himself from the rest of a group D.be unwilling to work with others on a team
35. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage？
A. To show us ways to understand what awe is.
B. To explain to us how awe can improve health.
C. To encourage us to be ready to experience awe.
D. To advise us to free ourselves from the fear of awe.

Cool ideas for future travel
What will travel be like in the year 2070
In the year 2070, most of you will be more than 60 years old. The good news is that travel might become smarter by that time. Let’s take a look at some amazing ideas from The Future Travel Report.
Heartbeat passport
Paper passports （PBE）will be a thing of the past. You will use “heartbeat（心跳）passports” instead. According to scientists, everyone’s heartbeat is different. So the data will be used to tell who you are.
More comfortable flight
The seats on the plane will no longer be “one size fits all”. You’ll be able to book a seat according to your body type. The seat might even be able to cool or warm you to your favourite temperature. There will also be no more screens on the back of your seats. A futuristic device（未来设备）could show movies straight in front of your eyes.
Printed clothes and food
If you hate packing（打包）clothes, you may not need to do it in the future. Before you fly, you will have a body scan（扫描）. And when you arrive, you’ll find a room filled with 3D printed clothes in your size. When you leave, the clothes can be recycled and reprinted for the next person. You can also 3D print whatever you want to eat.
Bring history back to life
If you like to visit historic sites（历史古迹）, AR will change the game. Wearing a headset, you can see what happened at a historic site, such as a famous war. You may even be able to sit among the cheering people at the first Olympic Games.
56.According to the passage, what might travel be like in the year 2070
57.What will take the place of （取代）paper passports
58.Why don’t you need to pack clothes before flying
59.How can you see what happened at a famous war
60.Which of the ideas do you like best Why （请自拟一句话作答）
