In this week’s article he tells us what a summer day in his life is like.‎ What time do you get up?‎ A summer day for me starts around 7 am. I have breakfast and ride my bike to work. I start work at 8 am. I spend all morning in front of my network computer working until lunchtime.‎ What do you do after work?‎ Well, I leave the office at 1 pm and have lunch. If the weather is fine, I pack my equipment and set off to the location of the stunt. When I get there, I set up the equipment and get into the water. This is when the fun starts. I move about in and under the water in a wetsuit and helmet (潜水服和头盔) performing tricks. It’s quite tiring though, because each stunt is different and takes a different length of time. A photo shoot usually takes a long time to complete because everything has to be perfect.‎ What do you do when you are not diving?‎ I enjoy water-skiing, kayaking and snorkelling (带呼吸管潜泳). I spend most of my spare time, however, planning, practicing and training for my stunts.‎ How do you like working underwater?‎ I love it. It can be a bit boring in the winter, though, when the weather is cold. It is difficult to get a swimming pool all to myself so I can practice. But when I'm diving, I really enjoy it. Every time I come home after work, I feel full of energy and I have a great sense of achievement.‎ ‎21. The clerical work Alain Pepin does _____.‎ A. is about sports B. pays very well C. is a full-time job D. has to be finished online ‎22. According to Alain Pepin, working underwater is _____.‎ A. fairly easy ‎ B. full of danger C. quite interesting D. perfect for everyone ‎23. We can say that Alain Pepin _____.‎ A. leads a double life B. should choose a better job C. needs to plan for the future D. is always ready to help others ‎ B Throughout history scientists have risked their health and their lives in their search for the truth.‎ Sir Isaac Newton, the seventeenth century scientist, was very smart, but that didn't stop him from doing some pretty stupid things. In his laboratory in Cambridge he often did the strangest experiments. Once, while testing how light passes through lenses (晶状体), he put a long needle into his eye, pushed it to the back, and then moved it around just to see what would happen. Luckily, nothing long-lasting did. On another occasion he stared at the sun for as long as he could bear, to discover what effect this would have on his sight. Again he escaped suffering permanent damage, though he had to spend some days in a darkened room before his eyes recovered.‎ In the 1750s the Swedish chemist Karl Scheele was the first person to find a way to produce phosphorus (磷). He in fact discovered eight more chemical elements including chlorine (氯), though he didn’t get any praise for them. He was a very clever scientist, but his one failing was a ‎ curious habit of tasting a little of every substance he worked with. This risky practice finally caught up with him, and in 1786 he was found dead in his laboratory surrounded by a large number of dangerous chemicals, any of which might have been responsible for his death.‎ Eugene Shoemaker was a respected geologist. He spent a large part of his life studying craters (火山口) on the moon, and how they were formed, and later did research into the comets of the planet Jupiter. In 1997 he and his wife were in the Australian desert where they went every year to search for places where comets might have hit the earth. While driving in the Tanami desert, normally one of the emptiest places in the world, another vehicle crashed into them and Shoemaker was killed on the spot. Some of his ashes (骨灰) were sent to the moon aboard the Lunar Prospector spacecraft and left there — he is the only person who has had this honor.‎ ‎24. What does the underlined word “permanent” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. Brief.‎ B. Slight.‎ C. Lasting.‎ D. Ordinary.‎ ‎25. What did Karl Scheele like doing when performing experiments?‎ A. Tasting chemicals.‎ B. Staying in the empty lab.‎ C. Experimenting in darkness.‎ D. Working together with others.‎ ‎26. What special honor was Shoemaker given after his death?‎ A. He was buried in the Tanami desert.‎ B. Some of his ashes were placed on the moon.‎ C. One comet of Jupiter was named after him.‎ D. A spacecraft carrying him traveled around Jupiter.‎ ‎27. The text is mainly about three great scientists' _____.‎ A. special honors B. great achievements C. famous experiments D. suffering in the job ‎ C International model United Nations meetings are events at which high school and college students from all over the world play the role of UN representatives. These meetings are largely based on the real United Nations. They are even divided into many of the same groups, such as the UN Security Council and the World Health Organization. The events allow students to develop and strengthen skills that are important for international careers, such as politics or international law.‎ One of the main goals of the meetings is to develop effective (有效的) communication skills. Because of this, students take part in many presentations (陈述), debates, and written research tasks. For example, at the end of every meeting, each student group writes a suggestion for solving one major world problem that they have learned about through their research tasks. These groups then discuss their suggestion with the rest of the student representatives in order to get them to support it. They may also discuss and solve invented problems, such as imaginary wars or natural disasters. Such activities challenge students' abilities to express their thoughts in a clear, thoughtful way.‎ In addition to working on basic communication, students at the meetings try to express themselves in polite ways that help to solve problems. This is perhaps the most difficult task for real UN delegates (代表), so model UN organizers put great importance on it. The organizers strongly encourage students to try to understand the ideas of others, consider their feelings, and agree on solutions.‎ The meetings are also designed to help students become more open-minded. Students often play the role of representatives for countries other than their own. This encourages them to learn more about other cultures and to think about important problems in different ways. While pretending to be from a different country, students are receiving a lot of ideas and information that they would not normally consider. Usually, they come away with a much better understanding of people in different cultures. This experience often gives them an advantage over schoolmates who only learn about world events and international relations in traditional classrooms.‎ ‎28. Why do students at model UN meetings take part in debates?‎ A. To learn good communication skills.‎ B. To help them decide between careers.‎ C. To get other students to support them.‎ D. To find solutions to major world problems.‎ ‎29. Why do students play the role of representatives for other countries?‎ A. To learn to communicate politely.‎ B. To put themselves in others' shoes.‎ C. To consider problems in new ways.‎ D. To decide which culture is the best.‎ ‎30. What does the author say about students learning only in traditional classrooms?‎ A. They are given a lot of information.‎ B. They don't learn about international events.‎ C. It's easy for them to understand their classmates.‎ D. It can be hard for them to understand other cultures.‎ ‎31. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Why viewpoints are changing at the UN.‎ B. How to solve invented problems at the UN.‎ C. What students learn at model UN conferences.‎ D. Which countries take part in model UN meetings. ‎ D When temperatures are high, walking on hot roadways, parking lots, and other paved surfaces can really burn your feet. All of that heat comes from the energy of the sun reacting with the pavement. But what if we could turn that energy into electricity? It may sound like a crazy science dream, but an electrical engineer and his wife may have found a way to do just that.‎ Scott Brusaw has developed a six-sided glass panel  (面板) that contains solar cells, which can change sunlight into electricity. The panels fit together and can form a flat surface on the ground. Brusaw and his wife, Julie, founded a company called Solar Roadways to further develop the idea and produce these new solar panels. They plan to use their invention to replace the pavement on U.S.‎ roads.‎ According to the Brusaws, if we replaced all of the nation’s asphalt (沥青) with these solar panels, the network would produce more than three times the amount of electricity currently used by ‎ the United States in a year. In return, electricity from solar panels doesn't produce harmful pollution, so the panels could be a smart choice for the environment.‎ The U.S.‎ government sees some promise in the Solar Roadways project. A number of laboratories around the country have tested the panels to see if they can withstand (经受)  the heavy traffic and rough weather that asphalt pavement suffers from year to year. The lab results show that not only do the panels meet the requirements, but they can actually handle more weight than they need to.‎ Now, money must be raised to start building the panel pavement system. The Brusaws have raised more than $1 million from ordinary people who learned about their project. However, some experts predict the Brusaws' plan could finally cost more than $1 trillion.‎ Could Solar Roadways be the answer to the world's ever-growing need for electricity? A lot of obstacles  (阻碍) stand in the way of re-creating the highway system out of solar panels. But the Brusaws may just be paving a road to the future.‎ ‎32. The glass panel the Brusaws have developed _____.‎ A. is too heavy to carry B. has a high temperature C. is powered by an engine D. is environmentally-friendly ‎33. What's the U.S.‎ government's attitude towards the Brusaws' plan now?‎ A. Worried.  ‎ B. Doubtful.‎ C. Interested.  ‎ D. Supportive.‎ ‎34. What does the underlined part “their project” in Paragraph 5 refer to?‎ A. Replacing asphalt roads with solar panels.‎ B. Designing more money-saving solar panels.‎ C. Testing the solar panels the Brusaws invented.‎ D. Reducing the ever-growing need for electricity.‎ ‎35. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Advantages of sunlight B. Better choice for your feet C. Power from the streets D. Finding more future energy ‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ E Sports for a new generation Introduction We often hear adults complaining that teenagers aren’t active enough and spend all their time sitting in front of computers, but one reason for this might be that teenagers are tired of doing the same sports - we want something a bit more lively.‎ The same old ...‎ For a lot of teens, the idea of hitting a ball over a net, throwing a ball through a hoop or hitting a ball with a stick, is no longer that interesting.  36 ‎ Why TeenUp?‎ The good news for teenagers is that this is exactly what we provide at Teen Up!  37 The best thing about it is that we also provide experienced trainers to help you learn the sport and get the most out of it.‎ ‎ 38 ‎ So, come along today and pick from a range of different sports.
