The news angered the King. He quickly gathered his army and started off for the distant border, leaving his kingdom unguarded and without a ruler. ‎ On their long march, the King and his army made camp for the night wherever they could. One rainy day they stopped in a forest, seeking shelter under the trees. They unsaddled（卸鞍） their horses and steamed some peas, which they fed to their steeds(战马) in long narrow co ntainers. A monkey in a tree nearby saw the horses being fed, and he came racing down, fille9d both paws with peas, then climbed quickly up to a branch and settled down to eat. But as he opened one paw, a single pea fell to the ground. Without hesitation, my monkey jumped from his branch to hunt for the lost pea, and in doing so，he dropped all the other peas in his paws. The King observed this foolish monkey and was greatly amused. He turned to his minister and asked: "Friend, what do you think of this monkey who would give up so much to retrieve so little?" "That is the way of the foolish," replied the minister, "they will give up much that is certain for a little that is uncertain." Then he added, "And we, Great King, are we not like the monkey in the trees. To gain so little we neglect (忽略 ) so much exactly like the monkey with its pea. The King understood the blame and realized how very foolish he had been himself to leave his kingdom unguarded.

This means breathing has become a source of renewable energy. The inspiration for the invention came from his watching children blowing on pinwheels (纸风车).‎ The device is worn like a mask equipped with tiny wind turbines (涡轮) and it can work its magic even while people are sleeping, jogging or hanging around, since energy is created from one’s breath. The principle of this AIRE mask is simple. The invention uses the wind flow created by breathing and changes it into energy that can charge mobile phones and iPods. Simply put this mask connected to your mobile phone on your face. The rest takes place naturally through your breath that provides power to run turbines which produce electricity.‎ Lammoglia explained how useful he hopes the AIRE will become. He said, “I hope to bring the concept into production and reduce the carbon footprint. It can be used indoors or outdoors, while you’re sleeping, walking, running or even reading books.” Apart from saving energy and contributing to environmental protection, it also encourages the practice of physical exercise. This is an entirely all time renewable energy source. Its energy is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.‎ Lammoglia explained why he thought the AIRE was so useful, saying, “Though many of our modern devices offer benefits, they tend to consume a high amount of electrical energy. This may cause problems for the environment, especially if the energy used by these devices is obtained from non-renewable sources.‎ The AIRE mask will be future’s cheaper source of charging mobile phones. It would save energy and allow people to never have to worry about their phone dying unless they stop breathing.‎ ‎28.The word “converting” (Para.1) is closest in meaning to _______.‎ A.charging B.convincing C. exchanging D. transforming ‎29.After putting on the mask, how do people charge their mobile phones using the device?‎ A.Breathe out air-Drive turbines-Produce electricity.‎ B.Use wind-Pass through turbines-Produce electricity.‎ C.Breathe in air-Use turbines-Create energy.‎ D.Connect turbines-Produce wind flow-Create energy.‎ ‎30.Lammoglia would most probably agree that the AIRE mask _______.‎ A.consumes a high amount of energy B.will account for environmental damage C.is a good solution to energy issues D.is available in the shop now ‎31.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?‎ A.An electronic mask B.A breath-powered charger C.A new renewable energy source D.An air purifying device D Many of us like cooking but never have much time for it. Helen Fry’s new book Quick Cooking has been specially written for busy people. It has over 1,000 recipes, from the famous Spanish gazpacho to Swedish smorgasbord. The book is well written and the photographs and drawings are clear. (They are like those in the excellent little Quick Dressmaking and Quick Gardening.) The book has a strong plastic cover. It is easy to find your way around it too. And busy people, notice this! Mrs Fry tells you how much time you need in order to get each dish ready.‎ Quick Cooking has 4 parts, one for each season. This helps you to use fresh fruit and vegetables when they are cheaper — and, of course, better. There are a lot of exciting ideas from foreign countries, and most of the recipes are easy to follow. You take something simple like a chicken or some cheese, and make an unusual dish out of it. For example, there are no fewer than 40 recipes for eggs! Mrs Fry does not plan complete meals for the “quick book”. The beginners will have to find out a lot of things for himself — or herself. But this ought not to be difficult with such a good book. I wanted to try many of the recipes as soon as I read them. For people with little spare time, Helen Fry’s Quick Cooking is excellent value.‎ ‎32.Helen Fry’s book is called Quick Cooking because________.‎ A.you can cook all the dishes in it quickly B.there is over 1,000 recipes in it ‎ C.it is written for people who don’t have much time D.it tells you how to cook all kinds of food quickly ‎33.Busy people should notice that_________.‎ A.all the recipes in the book are easy to follow B.there are clear photographs and drawings in the book C.the book has a strong cover D.they are told how long each dish takes to cook ‎34.This passage is most probably________.‎ A.a book review              B.a notice ‎ C.a letter to an editor         D.an introduction on cooking ‎35.We can infer from the passage that ________.‎ A.Helen Fry is good at writing books quickly B.Complete meals are planned only for beginners C.There are quite a few “quick books” for busy people D.Beginners are advised to start making meals out of the cheapest materials 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed! With such busy lives, it can be hard to try and find the time to work out. 36． Working out in the morning provides additional benefits beyond being physically fit.‎ ‎● Your productivity is improved. Exercising makes you more awake and ready to handle whatever is ahead of you for the day. 37．‎ ‎● Your metabolism (新陈代谢) gets a head start. 38． If you work out in the mornings, then you will be getting the calorie (卡路里) burning benefits for the whole day, not in your sleep.‎ ‎● 39． Studies found that people who woke up early for exercise slept better than those who exercised in the evening.
