21．（6分）On February 6, Space X, a private US aerospace company owned by Elon Musk, has successfully launched its new Falcon Heavy spacecraft, making it the world’s most powerful rocket.
Falcon Heavy is the largest rocket since the retirement of NASA’s Saturn V, which was used for the Moon missions in the 1970s. “Falcon Heavy can launch about 64 tonnes into low Earth orbit-that’s almost three times more than the current running biggest launch vehicle, Delta IV Heavy, ”Imperial College astrophysicist David Clements told AI Jazeera. According to Space X, Falcon Heavy can lift into orbit a mass greater than a 737 jet loaded with passengers, crew, luggage and fuel.
The rocket was designed with the idea of earning humans into space and opening the possibility of flying missions with people to the Moon and even Mars. For its first voyage, it carried Musk’s $ 100,000 cherry-red Tesla sports car and a fake space-suited human model fixed in the driver’s seat. Musk joked that “it may be discovered by some future alien race”.
Falcon Heavy went into space on its last flight on February 6. The launch took place at NASA’s Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and Kennedy Space Center in the US state of Florida, the spot also used for the Apollo 11 Moon mission and several space shuttle launches. It was delayed by several hours because of high winds in the upper atmosphere. Minutes after take-off, the two outer boosters (助推器) landed at the nearby Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
Space X announced plans to eventually use Falcon Heavy to launch two paying space tourists on a trip around the Moon. However, Musk said he will probably reserve that mission for another launch system, the BFR. Recently, Space X scheduled to launch a Falcon 9 rocket for NASA’s TESS mission on March 20, 2018. It is reported that Space X is scheduled to complete 30 independent launch missions in 2018, at least half of which will use Falcon 9.
1、Which of the following can function as a rocket?
A．A 737 jet. B．Tesla. C．Saturn V. D．Space X.
2、What do we know about Falcon Heavy from the text?
A．It was the latest rocket in the world.
B．It is of the same load as a 737 jet.
C．It is to be found by the creatures in the outer space.
D．It was launched at the same place for the Apollo 11 mission.
3、What delayed the launch of Falcon Heavy?
A．Weather condition. B．Program error. C．Equipment failure. D．Deliberate damage.
4、What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．The BFR will be completed in 2018.
B．The vehicle to launch space tourists is unknown.
C．Tourists will be sent into space by Falcon 9.
D．Falcon 9 will take 15 launch missions.

23．（8分） At times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing some quality in me. For example, when I was 12, I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico, to always put on sunscreen, not to wander away from my grandmother, and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.
But despite her worries, she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens, she continued to give me space to grow and learn, even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year, I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers: while many of them wanted to stay close to home, I couldn’t wait to be out in the world on my own. While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of my going away, she was supportive and excited for me.
One big thing I realized during my senior year, as my mom granted me more freedom, was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life, and especially when I was little, the main person I tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards: getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all A’s.
I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what’s important, like education, and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life. Most of all I respect her. She is the strongest woman I know and that’s why I have turned out so strong and independent.
1、What may “some quality” in Paragraph 1 actually refer to?
A．“My” stubbornness. B．“My” independence.
C．“My” misbehavior. D．“My” carelessness.
2、What is the author’s attitude to his or her mother’s way of raising children?
A．Appreciative. B．Critical.
C．Opposed. D．Supportive.
3、What can we infer about the mother?
A．She always gets nervous easily. B．She often gets involved in “my” life.
C．She used to be strict in “my” study. D．She would limit “me” too much
4、What is the main idea of the text?
A．A mother’s deep love. B．A child’s Independence
C．A mother’s trust and support D．A child’s long way to growth.
24．（8分）How would you describe your style? Formal? Classical? Casual? Smart? First of all, what is style? Let’s hear a few words of wisdom from the wise. “Style is knowing who you are and what you want to say,” (Gore Vidal); “Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charm,” (John Fairchild); “Style is the perfection of a point of view,” (Robert Eberhart); “Style is a simple way of saying complicated things,” (Jean Cocteau); “Style is the dress of thoughts,” (Lord Chesterfield).
So, now you know what style is, you’ll need to buy some clothes. But where? In the UK, you can get really cheap, stylish, second-hand clothes at charity shops. They’re great if you want exclusive labels but don’t want to pay the price. The only difficulty is discovering where the really good bargains are. But don’t worry, Leila Gray can help you here. She’s the proud owner of a vintage Hardy Amies coat, picked up at a charity shop for ￡3---a good deal when you realize it cost more than ￡800 new. “You have to go to the richer areas of a city,” she says. “That’s where all the labels are. It can take a bit of hunting around, but that is half the fun, and there’s a lot of buried treasure just waiting to be discovered.”
So, now you know where to buy your new, stylish clothes, how do you acquire your style? Experts say that mixing and matching from charity shops can help you find your own style----something that’s really you. That’s what Scottish musician Morus did. “My fashion tip is this,” he says, “Look at yourself with the eye of a graphic designer. If you can’t be attractive, aim for ‘interesting’ or ‘original’.” Momus’ unique style could even make him happier, too. As psychologist Marilyn Elias explains, the happiest people “judge themselves by their own yardsticks, never against what others do or have”.
Shoichi Aoki, the founder of Japanese street style magazine FRUiTS, agrees. “I think real fashion is what people wear on the streets, the clothes that they wear, the way that they wear them,” he says. “What you see in fashion magazines and on models has been styled and it’s more commercial.” He says that his inspiration for FRUiTS came from people combining traditional Japanese clothing such as the kimono and “geta” (Japanese wooden clogs) with Western fashion. “This really caught my eye,” Aoki adds. These styles may seem wild, but Aoki’s idea is not: be bold, be creative and find something that suits you.
Maybe it’s time to create your own look. There are many online guides to help you. Perhaps the best advice comes from a website called wikiHow, “If you see something you like,” it says, “feel free to copy, but don’t make yourself a clone… mix it up and make it yours.” Think about it!
1、What should you first do to choose they style that best suits you?
A．Follow the images of the wise people. B．Go for whatever is fashionable.
C．Simplify complicated expressions. D．Figure out what a true style is.
2、What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Getting clothes of leading brands. B．Buying clothes at rather low prices.
C．Searching for really good bargains. D．Starting a charity shop selling clothes.
3、What is the focus of Shoichi Aoki and his magazine FRUiTS?
A．Commercialization of fashion magazines.
B．Expression of something personal and creative.
C．Designing fashionable wear for men in the street.
D．Promoting Japanese traditional clothing worldwide.
4、What is probably the best title for the passage?
A．How to find the style that suits you B．Where to pick up a bargain
C．What to wear to develop your style D．Whom to model to be popular
25．（10分）Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to get rid of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus (校园) of the University of Pitsburgh (commonly referred to as Pitt) set themselves the opposite problem—how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which uses not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no fuel is needed to make the campus’s six buildings comfortable.
Some parts of most modern buildings—theaters and offices as well as classrooms, are more sufficiently heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing (重新分配) is called “heat recovery”. A few modern buildings recover heat, but the campus’s system is the first to recover heat from buildings and reuse it in others.
Along the way, Pitt has learned a great de
