AA Real Lesson in HumilityBook T. Washington, the well-known black educator, was on outstanding example of this truth.Shortly after he took over the presidency of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, he was walking in an exclusive section of town when he was stopped by a wealthy white woman. Not knowing the famous Mr. Washington by sight, she asked if he would like to earn a few dollars by chopping wood for her.Because he had no pressing business at the moment, Professor Washington smiled, rolled up his sleeves, and proceeded to do the humble chore she had requested. When he was finished, he carried the logs into the house and stacked them by the fireplace.A little girl recognized him and later told the lady. The next morning the embarrassed woman went to see Mr. Washington in his office at the Institute and apologized profusely. “It's perfectlyall right, Madam, ”he replied. “Occasionally I enjoy a little manual labor. Besides, it's always a delight to do something for a friend.”She shook his hand warmly and assured him that his personality had endeared him and his work to her heart. Not long afterward she showed her admiration by persuading some wealthy acquaintances to join her in donating thousands of dollars to the Tuskegee Institute.21. Why did the woman stop Washington?A. To ask him some questionsB. To hire a helping handC. To talk about pressing businessD. To help her earn money22. How did the rich lady feel when she discovered Washington’s identity?A. DisappointedB. RelaxedC. AwkwardD. Excited23. What did the lady do for Washington later?A. She invited her friends to the InstituteB. She raised money for the InstituteC. She made more rich acquaintancesBAt least 20 people died and hundreds were injured in a bridge a collapse in the eastern Indian city of Kolkata Thursday. Witnesses said many people and vehicles, including two buses carrying more than 100 passengers, were under the bridge when it fell. They also said construction workers had set up camps near the bridge site where they would sleep and cook.Before rescue teams arrived, local residents and firefighters used their bare hands to try to rescue people trapped under the debris. The collapsed bridge is in a busy commercial area of Kolkata. Its location has made it difficult for rescue operations. Access to the area is blocked on both sides by buildings, and the streets are blocked with heavy traffic.Reuters(路透社) reports that the Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, rushed to the scene of the collapse. She said that rescuing those trapped is her “top priority.” Banerjee said those responsible for the disaster will be punished. Yet she faces questions about the safety of the construction project. The Telegraph newspaper reported last November that Banerjee wanted the bridge - already five years overdue - to be completed by February.Project engineers said they were concerned over whether this would be possible, the newspaper said at the time. Construction workers had been on a strict schedule to complete the bridge. Thedisaster could affect the West Bengal election next month. An Indian company, IVRCL, was building the 2-kilometer bridge, its website said. IVRCL's director of operations said the company was not sure of the cause of the disaster.24. Why were so many people killed or injured in the accident?A. The rescue work responded too slowlyB. Many people were under or near the bridgeC. The bridge was under constructionD. Construction workers had set up camps there25. What does the underlined word “debris” probably mean?A. BuildingsB. DisastersC. VehiclesD. Ruins26. According to Bnerjee, what was her most important work at the moment?A. Rushing to the scene of the collapseB. Saving the trapped peopleC. Punishing those responsibleD. Questioning the safely of the bridge27. What can we learn about the bridge?A. It should have been completed five years agoB. Project engineers were unwilling to cooperateC. It was designed by a company called IVRCLD. The cause of the disaster has been discoveredCHow do you pay for your coffee? Is it with change? I use my tap-and-go card. I don’t even need to enter my PIN number or a signature to authorize payment. It’s quicker and everybody in the queue is happy.Contactless payments are gaining popularity. Those concerned about security will be pleased to know that the amount of money you can spend in one go is limited – in the UK it's currently £30. But if the card is used a few times in a row, a PIN number will be needed. If a thief gets hold of your card and goes on a spending spree(狂欢), your bank covers you against fraud. However, if someone steals your banknotes, that's your bad luck!For those who are always forgetting where they put their cards, there's a new solution: wearable tech: clothing and accessories that have been combined with electronic technology. Kenneth Cukier, an economist and technology expert, says: "When you want to make a payment just wave your arm in front of the terminal and leave the coffee shop with your latte. They don’t have to ta ke their card out of their wallet, use their phone or their watch."And new ways of spending money are not stopping there. The future is all about biometrics. Very convenient if you are at the beach or a festival – there's a new system in development which will make it possible to read the unique maps of veins under the surface of your finger, and use them to authenticate payments – or prove that it's you making the payments.So spending money is becoming easier all the time. And the temptation to buy more stuff increases. But it's worth bearing in mind that earning the money in the first place will still require the same effort. Back to work then!28. What is the main point of Paragraph 2?A. The security of contactless paymentsB. The responsibility of the lost moneyC. The popularity of modern paymentsD. The procedure of contactless payments29. According to Kenneth Cukier, wearable tech _______.A. is intended for buying coffeeB. makes people lazier and forgetfulC. makes buying more convenientD. will be connected with our phones30. What can we learn about biometrics?A. It is already in use in some fieldsB. It will be safer than other waysC. It looks more like a rare mapD. It depends on your fingerprints31. What is the intended tone of the author in the last paragraph?A. AnxiousB. RelievedC. ConcernedD. HumorousDThere will be more plastic than fish in the world’s oceans by 2050. That is what a new report from the World Economic Forum and Ellen MacArthur Foundation warns. If the current trend continues, the report said, oceans will contain one ton of plastic for every three tons of fish in 2025. By 2050, plastics will weigh more than fish. The problem is that each year at least 8 million tons of plastics end up in oceans around the world. This is the same as dumping the contents of one garbage truck into the ocean every minute.Not all plastic ends up in the ocean because someone throws a plastic bottle into the water. Plastic containers and other trash thrown onto streets and sidewalks often are swept into oceans. Unlike other types of trash in the ocean, the plastic never bio-degrade: There is a way to slow the amount of plastics going into the oceans---people can recycle more. Currently only about 14 percent of plastics are recycled. Research in Europe shows as much as 53 percent of plastic could be recycled using available technology. The report says that another solution is using less plastic for packaging products. But that is not likely to happen.“Given plastic packaging’s many benefits, both the possibility and desirability of a sharp reduction in the volume of plastic packaging used is clearly low,” the report said. But the authors note reducing the use of plastics should be tried “where possible.” For decades, scientists warned that plastics are killing fish. For decades, scientists warned that plastics are killing fish. Research shows that fish are dying from choking after eating plastics. Another cause of death is that plastics cause “intestinal blockage and starvation,” the environmental group said.32. Why is the garbage truck mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. To explain how plastics end up in the oceanB. To warn people against the ocean pollutionC. To clarify the seriousness of the problemD. To point out some details of the report33. Why is plastic more harmful than other types of trash?A. Because there is too much of itB. Because it poisons the ocean waterC. Because it is from different sourcesD. Because it never breaks down34. What is the author’s attitude to the suggested solutions?A. PessimisticB. HopefulC. InterestedD. Convinced35. What can we infer from the text?A. People are not aware of the problemB. Recycling is limited by lack of technologyC. Plastic packaging has become part of our lifeD. Fish in the ocean will be replaced by plastics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。
