(Text 10)
In the eighteenth century, when horses were still the main transportation form, cities became larger and larger. People moved from the countryside and small towns to cities, because there was no more work for them to do in small towns and in the countryside.
On Sundays and holidays, they liked to leave the cities and had a good time in the countryside. But not every family had a horse and wagon. People wanted and needed another form of transportation. Inventors in many countries tried to meet this need.
The first bicycle, which was very simple, appeared in 1790. People called it “the horse on wheels”. Then in 1861, with many improvements, bicycles became a practical form of transportation.
People liked bikes because they weren't as expensive as horses. They didn't need to build a special house to keep them in, and they didn't have to feed them; they could ride them in the city and in the countryside. Everybody in a family could ride—men and women, girls and boys.
Today many people in every country in the world ride bicycles.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
The behaviour of a building's users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions (排放)by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zerocarbon by 2022. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own—though extremely important—is not enough to achieve such reductions: the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too.
The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency (效率),which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.
“Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything,”explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher,“consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design.” In other words,old habits die hard, even in the bestdesigned ecohome.
Another part of the problem is information. Households and billpayers don't have the knowledge they need to change their energyuse habits. Without specific information,it's hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (反馈) facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors,could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters.
Social science research has added a further dimension (方面),suggesting that individuals' behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted—whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (恒温器), for example.
Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them.
21.As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of________.
A.zerocarbon homes
B.the behaviour of building users
C.sustainable building design
D.the reduction of carbon emissions
22.The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 2 refers to“________”.
A.the ways B.their homes
C.developments D.existing efforts
23.What are Katy Janda's words mainly about?
A. The importance of changing building users' habits.
B. The necessity of making a careful building design.
C. The variety of consumption patterns of building users.
D. The role of technology in improving energy efficiency.
24.The information gap in energy use________.
A.can be bridged by feedback facilities
B.affects the study on energy monitors
C.brings about problems for smart meters
D.will be caused by building users' old habits

(2021·辽宁省五校协作体联考)
An artist in Oakland, California is using his skills to help the homeless. Greg Kloehn builds very small shelters that make life on the streets a little more comfortable. The structures offer the homeless some safety and protection from bad weather. Each little house also has wheels on the bottom so it can go wherever its owner goes.
Greg Kloehn has given away at least 20 tiny houses. Several are on the roadside near an active railroad. On a recent day, Mr.Kloehn stops at one to visit Oscar Young. The two men hug. Inside his little shelter Mr.Young gets relief from cold nights on the streets. Mr.Kloehn also visits SweetPea, another friend who also lives in one of the little homes the artist built. She says it keeps her safe and protects her belongings.
In the mornings, Mr.Kloehn searches the streets for building materials. He gathers what he can and takes it to his studio. There, he puts the houses together. Empty coffee bags become roof material. A washing machine door and refrigerator part become windows. Nails, screws and the sticky glue hold all the pieces together. The artist also attaches a small electrical device to the house. The device is powered by the sun.
Some of the people living on the streets once had normal houses of their own. But some of the people say they have learned to live with less and they are thankful to that man.
Mr.Kloehn says his work is not a social project. He says he is just someone using his skills to help his homeless neighbors.
25.The following are the advantages of the small shelters except ________.
A.saving power and energy
B.protecting possessions of the homeless
C.decorating the streets where they are
D.keeping the homeless safe and comfortable
26.We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.Greg Kloehn has sold at least 20 tiny houses
B.an act of kindness has made people simple and grateful
C.the shelters are immovable
D.the government has got involved in the action
27.The passage is likely taken from ________.
A.an official report B.an art review
C.a science magazine D.a news report
28.What's the main idea of the passage?
A.An artist creates homes for the homeless.
B.A more comfortable shelter on the streets.
C.A successful social project in Oakland.
D.An artist makes a living by designing small shelters.

For most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains, jets, and even bicycles. Dr. Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who consider this a misunderstanding. Without the elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would be impossible. In that sense, they argue, the elevator's role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk, the car and the elevator have been locked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally (水平地), and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical (垂直的) columns.
If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief, boring, and even awkward experience—one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant awareness of the fact that we're hanging from a cable in a long passage.
In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his attention to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience. “After 150 years, we are still not used to it,” Bernard said. “We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.” That mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.
Today, as the world's urban population explodes, and cities become more crowded, taller, and more crowded, America's total number of elevators—900,000 at last count, according to Elevator World magazine's “2022 Vertical Transportation Industry”—are a force that's becoming more important than ever. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.
29. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The general view of elevators.
B. The particular interests of experts.
C. The desire for a remarkable machine.
D. The enthusiasm for transport vehicles.
30. The author's purpose in mentioning cars is________.
A. to contrast their functions with elevators
B. to emphasize the importance of elevators
C. to reveal their secret war against elevators
D. to explain people's preference for elevators
31. According to Prof.Bernard, what has made the elevator ride different from other life experiences?
A. Vertical direction.
B. Lack of excitement.
C. Little physical space.
D. Uncomfortable conditions.
32. The author urges readers to consider________.
A. the exact number of elevator lovers
