David Rees runs a very distinctive business. He charges customers $15 to sharpen their pencils to perfection, using a variety of tools.
I know what you’re thinking—is this a joke? The 39-year-old gets asked that question a lot. To clarify everything, he even created a special section on his website telling everyone he’s actually providing a real service.
You can supply your own pencil or you can have Rees sharpen one of his own favorite 2B pencils. After that, he mails it to you in a display tube with the shavings in a separate bag, and an authentic certificate which just happens to mention the pencil is so sharp as to be a dangerous object.
To achieve the desired result, the master sharpener uses all kinds of tools, including general sandpaper, pocket knives and even a special $ 450 sharpening machine. “It depends on what the customer wants to use his/her pencil for,” he says. That determines the most appropriate pencil-sharpening technique. Some customers buy pencils as inspirational symbols while others buy them because of their special memories of classic 2B pencils.
$15 to have a pencil sharpened is a bit expensive though, right? You’re not the only one who feels that way, and David’s unique business has really angered lots of people, who talk of inequality in America, saying it is so insane for the wealthy to pay $15 to sharpen a pencil. But others will say, “This is just our urge to put an end to the welfare state because new ideas arise along with the business.”
David admits his trade is sort of unusual. But there are those who actually value his service, as is proven by the over 500 orders he has gotten.
24．How could David make money by sharpening pencils?
A．He invented new tools for the job.
B．He provided quality service for his customers.
C．He promoted his skill on his website.
D．He saved lots of time for other people.
25．What can we infer from the words of David Rees in paragraph 4?
A．He provides personalized services.
B．He knows all kinds of pencil users.
C．He values ideas behind the pencils.
D．He always writes in pencil.
26．What does the underlined word “insane” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Deliberate. B．Rewarding. C．Unreasonable. D．Irresponsible.
27．What seems to be the author’s attitude to David Rees’ trade?
A．It’s a waste of time and money. B．It needs further improvement.
C．It’s awfully expensive. D．It’s a fancy service.

When colds or flu attacks, many people treat themselves to the comfort of warm blankets and hot chicken soup. Chicken soup has been shown to be more than just a comfort food, however.
An ancient Greek manuscript (手稿) written around 200BC describes how chicken soup can be used to treat respiratory (呼吸的) disorders, such as colds and flu. In the 12th century another Greek scholar wrote that chicken soup eases the symptoms people have when they have colds and flu. Modern research is showing that there is a basis for this old belief that chicken soup can help the common cold or other respiratory problems.
When a person gets a cold, the cold virus makes itself at home in one’s nose, sinuses and throat, resulting in swelling in these areas. The result is sore throat, headache, congestion (充血), coughing, etc. One experiment showed that hot chicken soup can clear the congestion that comes with a cold.
Chicken soup contains compounds (化合物) that stop the swelling which causes this problem. Scientists still don’t know why chicken soup works, but they are sure that it does. They have also found that in order to be effective, the soup must be made with vegetables. Scientists think that it may be due to the presence of some healthful elements (元素) found in plants. Perhaps the best evidence for the effectiveness of chicken soup comes from the research of one scientist who found that chicken soup is rich in a chemical widely used in cold medicines.
Thus, when your mother or grandmother tells you to eat chicken soup when you have a cold or flu, go ahead and enjoy it. You will be doing something worthwhile for your body as well as pleasing her.
28．Why are the two Greeks referred to in Paragraph 2?
A．Because Greece has a long food history.
B．Because Greeks like drinking chicken soup.
C．To prove colds and flu spread widely in Greece.
D．To show chicken soup has some medical effects.
29．How can chicken soup have a better treatment on a common cold?
A．Eat it at the right time. B．Choose healthy chicken.
C．Add vegetables into it. D．Take it with cold pills.
30．The author may agree that ________.
A．scientists find that chicken soup can kill cold viruses
B．scientists doubt if chicken soup really helps a cold
C．it takes less money to treat a cold with chicken soup
D．elders tend to appreciate the effects of chicken soup
31．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Chicken Soup Helps to Cure a Cold B．Why Not Eat Chicken Soup Often
C．You May Well Need Chicken Soup D．How to Deal with a Common Cold

“We've designed buildings for 100-year floods;” says Kevin Van Den Wymelenberg, director of the Institute for Health in the Built Environment. “But there will be another epidemic or another pandemic - or there might just be another flu season. Let's go ahead and learn to design for the 100-year flu. ”
Public health officials agree that one of the simplest wåys to prevent the indoor spread of the virus is to increase the amount of outside air that comes into our buildings. The simple act of opening a window can meaningfully reduce the concentration of infectious (感染的) particles in the air.
But in many current office buildings, the windows aren't operable. Creating a tight air seal in a building is one of the main strategies used to make buildings more energy-saving. So architects are now wrestling with how to increase air circulation without accelerating energy consumption. One solution, according to Kevin Van Den Wymelenberg, is a special type of window design. This allows outside air to be warmed or cooled, as needed, when it enters the building.
Most current office buildings usually adopt open-plan offices, which are suitable for modern office work. But in time of pandemic, viruses spread easily among workers in the office. Rather than seal employees into individual hard-walled rooms, office designers can preserve the benefits of open-plan offices by fitting airflow systems that clean the air breathed out. For example, vents (通风口) can be installed at the top of the room to pull out the cloud of exhaled (呼出的) air and for fresh air to be delivered along the floor. This type of “biophilic design” can increase productivity and improve physical health.
What all these changes have in common is that they'll happen only if the public continue to focus on indoor health after the acute crisis of the pandemic has passed. In the long run, what's perhaps even more important is making whole environments support human immune function.
32．According to Kevin, what is a solution to improving air circulation without consuming more energy?
A．Creating specially-designed windows.
B．Increasing the amount of outside air.
C．Fitting vents at the top of the building.
D．Designing a tight air seal in the building.
33．Which of the following may be considered a “biophilic design”?
A．Offices with exhaled air. B．Offices with airflow systems.
C．Offices with big windows. D．Offices with individual rooms.
34．What does the author focus on in the last paragraph?
A．Adding some background information.
B．Explaining the concept of indoor health.
C．Expressing the expectation for the future.
D．Providing the theoretical basis for the research.
35．What can be the best title for the passage?
A．Setting up buildings good for the environment
B．The need to put human health in the first place
C．Redesigning the office for the next 100-year flu
D．The simplest way to stop indoor spread of viruses

Why Are Tigers Orange?
The colors of an animal serve lots of different purposes — for instance, to help them hide into surroundings and escape from being noticed by preys (猎物). For tigers, their ability to be invisible will just decide whether they catch dinner or go hungry. _____36_____
As for humans, orange is a color used for items that need to stand out, like traffic lights and safety vests. That’s because we have what’s called trichromatic color vision, which differentiate three types of color: blue, green and red. _____37_____ But most other mammals, including dogs, horses and deer, have dichromatic (二色的) color vision for only two colors: blue and green. Humans who get information only of blue and green are considered color-blind, and can’t distinguish between red and green colors. _____38_____
Mammals like deer are the tiger’s main prey, and their dichromatic vision means they don’t see tigers as orange — they see them as green. That makes the tiger much harder to spot as it’s prowling behind a bush or crouching in the grass. Although green tigers would probably be even harder to spot, evolution (进化) just doesn’t work with the ingredients necessary to make green fur. _____39_____The only recognizably green mammal is a sloth, and its fur isn’t green in fact. That’s an alga that grows in its fur.
_____40_____There seems to be no evolutionary pressure, particularly for deer, which are the main prey of the tiger, to become trichromatic. That’s probably because the tiger doesn’t know it’s orange either. So, the evolutionary race really doesn’t exist for that color. It’s just that the tiger has evolved over the sweep of evolution to have a coloring, a hiding system, which protects it very well in its jungle setting.
A．We share this style of vision with some mammals like apes and certain monkeys.
B．Then, why don’t deer evolve the ability to see orange?
C．So of all the colors they could be, why are tigers orange?
D．Orange fur makes tigers relatively easy to spot.
E．The same is likely true for dichromatic animals.
F．Colors of humans’ eyes are quite similar to many other mammals’.
G．Actually, there are no green furry animals.
