drying jacket that Marty McFly wore in the movie，Back to the FutureⅡ，has actually become a reality。

A model has already been created and a Kickstarter campaign plans to raise funds for mass production。

The jackets，named SDJ。

01,are classified as wearable tech,because of the inner air circulation（环流;循环）system that speeds the drying process from the inside out.Under normal circumstances，you can expect the jacket to dry in about 1－2 minutes after being exposed to rain or a spilled drink.If you jump into a pond to escape danger，it will probably take longer。

“Think of how quick ly your clothes dry when you turn a standard fan on them.Now imagine how quickly breathable(透气的)，water resistant （抗……的）material dries when exposed to concentrated，high­pressure air。

In lab tests，our jacket consistently experienced noticeable drying effects after just 30 seconds，with the average time of about a minute to achieve a 90% drying effect，" explained Aaron Coleman，lead designer at Falyon Wearable Tech，which is producing the jacket。

“This is something that has been on my mind for years，" he said。

He didn't want it to be just a movie prop，but an actual usable jacket.“We wanted to follow the basic design of the jacket from the movie Back to the FutureⅡ but update it a bit，adding more pockets for all the things people carry around these days。

”
Eventually，Coleman and his team hit upon the perfect combination of
water resistant material and high­pressure air circulation to achieve complete drying in just one minute。

The outer layer is made of water resistant nylon，with insulation（绝缘材料）made of polyester fibre on the inside。

It dries itself through a couple of so­called “air amplifiers(放大器）” attached to the sides，which force more air through the jacket. According to the makers,the SDJ­01 is ideal for rainy days and spills，and the fans are perfect to cool off o n days “when you're just a little too warm,but it’s too cold to take off your jacket"．
25．How long does the SDJ。

01 take to achieve a 90％drying effect，on average?
A．About 30 seconds。

B．About a minute.
C．About 1－2 minutes。

D．Longer than 2 minutes.
26．According to Aaron Coleman，in what way is the design different,compared with the jacket in Back to the FutureⅡ？
A．The number of pockets。

B．The function of pockets.
C．The colour of pockets。

D．The shape of pockets.
27．What is the main achievement by Coleman and his team in developing the SDJ。

01?
A．The noticeable drying effects of high pressure air on wet clothes。

B．The inner air circulation system can speed the drying process from the outside。

C．The perfect combination of water resistant material and high。

pressure air circulation。

D．The various functions of water resistant materials during rainy days and spills。

28．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．The ideal design of a self.drying jacket。

B．Marketing strategies for a self。

drying jacket.
C．The development of a self。

drying jacket.
D．A basic introduction to a self­drying jacket.

Cloning has the potential to change society.For some，it’s a welcome development designed to make our lives easier。

For others，it represents a threat to the health and balance of society，especially from a moral
perspective（角度)．Looking at these cloning pros and cons，it's important to consider the scientific，financial，and social aspects of cloning processes。

From a scientific perspective,cloning can be considered major progress.Scien tists aren’t limited by population。

It’s also possible to clone pieces of living things.
However,cloning changes the natural order of life and death。

Why should scientists have to treat an animal well in the lab if they can just make more？As a result，scientists may become lazy or careless with the living things they work on.
Cloning is a major business。

Medical research groups have invested millions of dollars in making cloning possible.As a result，they can make big profits from selling cloning services to hospitals and the public。

However，the wealth they achieve doesn’t mean that cloning itself is a profitable trial.For example,while a company may clone an organ，its price may be too high to afford。

As a result，only rich people and governments could use cloning products。

As a whole,cloning for society can be debated for hours。

On one hand，you have religious groups，who say that cloning is wrong。

On the other
hand,you have many people who are looking forward to making clones of themselves so that the clone can serve as a worker and leave the original person to enjoy a life of relaxation and wealth.
29．We can conclude from the first paragraph that ________。

A．opinions about cloning vary from person to person
B．more people think little of the benefits of cloning
C．cloning has the potential to change society for better
D．people should think of cloning in a more scientific way
30．Why do some people think cloning has a bad effect on scientific experiments？
A．More money may be spent on cloning other living things. B．Scientists will become careless with their experiments。

C.Cloning may disturb the balance of nature and wildlife。

D．Scientists may ignore the living things they work on。

31．What is the disadvantage of cloning products put into the market? A．More fake cloning products will crowd into the market soon。

B．Only a limited group would have access to cloning products。

C．Patients have to buy cloning products from hospitals or governments。

D．Scientists may pay attention to quantity of cloning products rather than
quality。

On the broad landing between Miss Havisham’s own room and that other room in which the long table was laid out，I saw a garden chair—a light chair on wheels that you pushed from behind。

It had been placed there since my last visit，and that same day I pushed Miss Havisham in this chair (when she was tired of walking with her hand upon my shoulder) round her own room，and across the landing and round the other room,which，from that day on，became my regular job.
As we began to be more used to one another，Miss Havisham talked more to me,and asked me such questions as what had I learnt and what was I going to be? I told her I was going to be apprenticed（做学徒) to Joe，my sister’s husband；then I explained my knowing nothing and wanting to know everything,in the hope that she might offer some help.But，she did not；on the contrary，she seemed to prefer my being ignorant.Neither did she ever give me any money—or anything but my daily dinner—nor even mentioned that I should be paid for my services。

Estella was always about，and always let me in and out,but never told me I
might kiss her again.Sometimes，she would coldly tolerate me; sometimes，she would be seemingly kind to me；sometimes，she would be quite familiar with me; sometimes，she would tell me energetically that she hated me。

Miss Havisham would often ask me in a whisper，or when we were alone，“Does she grow prettier and prettier，Pip?" And when I said yes,Miss Havisham would seem to enjoy it greedily。

Also，when we played cards Miss Havisham would look on Estella's moods，whatever they were。

And sometimes，when her moods were so many and so contradictory of one another that I was puzzled what to say or do，Miss Havisham would hold her tightly with great fondness,saying something quietly in her ear that sounded like “Break their hearts my pride and hope，break their hearts and have no mercy!"
32．What did Pip regularly do at Miss Havisham’s home?
A．He placed the garden chair on the broad landing。

B．He walked with Estella’s hand upon his shoulder。

C．He learned knowledge from Miss Havisham.
D．He pushed Miss Havisham in the wheel chair.
33．What can we infer from the second paragraph？
A．Pip was excited to learn from Joe,his sister’s husband.
B．Pip desired to improve his present situation。

C．Miss Havisham felt sorry about Pip's being ignorant.
D．Miss Havisham helped Pip by paying for his services for her. 34．What’s Estella’s attitude towards Pip?
A．Changeable。

B．Sincere.
C．Warm。

hearted. D．Indifferent。

35．Miss Havisham held Estella tightly because ________.
A．she wanted to blame Estella for hurting Pip
B．she felt worried about Estella’s moods
C．she thought Estella did something right
D．she treated Estella like her own daughter

How Can I Fight Laziness？
Lazy people will never amount to anything in life。

However，laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
__36__ Many people lack sleep constantly，since they stay up too late and
get up too early to prepare for work.These people have little motivation once they arrive home。

Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things.By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest,you can fight laziness throughout the day。

Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active.Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task。

Others take a more proactive approach，viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone。

__37__
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations that surround them。

A television in the living room may provide entertainment，but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness。

__38__ Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy，such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home。

Couples and children may all have different energy levels，but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately.__39__ Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal.Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task.It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded
by motivated people.
__40__ Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle，thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
A．To fight family laziness，set an example.
B．Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
C．One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep。

D．Finally,taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness。

E．With strong determination，you will be able to achieve your goal. F．Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life。

__48__,he knew what he was talking about。

He didn’t mention that his classmates had __49__ him because he was different.He just talked about his __50__ for the future，and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me.
When we had finished talking，I went to my briefcase and __51__ out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his __52__。

I told him he was more of a __53__ and knew more about success and conquering difficulties than I ever would。

He looked at it for a moment，then took it __54__ and handed it back to me.He said，“You are a champion.You __55__ that medal.Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own
medal，I will show it to you.” Last summer I rece ived a __56__ from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had __57__ away。

They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:
Dear Dick，
My mum said I should send you a thank。

you letter for the picture you sent me。

I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have __58__ to live any more，but I still smile as much as I can.

M:Isn’t that really far away？
W：Not really.If you take the No.6 bus，you can get there in ten minutes。

And if skating doesn’t interest you，they’ve got a huge indoor swimming pool,a weights room，and indoor tracks.It’s a great place to exercise and make new friends。

M：Now that you mention it，it would be nice to get away from the
Working up a sweat in a ball game or the weights room would be nice。

I've got so fat after college.
W：Look at me—you’re not the only one.So I want to spend my spare time doing some exercise。

And I've heard that the club is open until midnight。

M：I guess it’s worth a visit.Did you say you were going tomorrow night？
W：Yes。

M：OK,I’ll come，too。

But my car is being repaired。

How about meeting me in front of the cinema at eight？We can catch the bus there。

A burial place in Washington D．C。

is using goats instead of poisons to remove weeds。

In recent years,many weeds have grown in the cemetery.Officials did not want to use poisons to kill the weeds.The cemetery is near the Anacostia River.Officials have worked for many years to remove pollutants from the river，which runs through the city.
it is close to the river，we are always looking for ways to make sure that we are sustainable,and that we are not using pesticides that might hurt the environment。

"
So cemetery officials decided to use goats。

The animals are less costly than chemicals and do not hurt the environment.And the goats eat a lot of weeds.
The animals are owned by Mary Bowen，a farmer.She operates a company called Browsing Green Goats。

The cemetery pays her company more than US 11,000 to have the goats remove unwanted plants from each hectare
of the cemetery。

But Mary Bowen says that is about half the cost of using poisons.
An electronic fence keeps the goats from leaving the cemetery。

Mary Bowen says she examines the fence every day.She says she has not lost a goat in five years。

Mary Bowen says she hopes the goats will help more people understand that they can keep their property free of weeds without hurting the environment.
