23．（8分）With the average American going through more than 700 pounds of paper per year, many firms are looking for ways to discourage their employees from over-using the office printer.
Toshiba American Business Solutions has come up with an alternative idea. It has introduced the e-STUDIO4508LP, a printer that gives users the option to print with erasable toner (墨粉)一allowing a single piece of paper to be reused several times.
To reuse a piece of paper, the printer basically uses the same process as a normal printer, but in reverse (反过来），said Bill Melo, chief marketing executive for Toshiba America Business Solutions. Paper printed with the erasable toner is fed back into the printer, superheated, and the toner gets removed and put in a discard (丢弃）tank.
There are a couple of catches. All of the printouts using the erasable toner have to be in blue ink, which is the only color in which erasable toner is now available. And the company said that people may want to stop reusing the printouts after five times through the eraser because small traces of erased text will build up over time.
The $15,420 printer is aimed at offices and schools，where there are often large numbers of printouts that outlive their usefulness quickly. With the erasable toner, it’s possible to load any short-lived handouts back onto the printer to be erased and then
reused.
Still, convincing customer s to commit to erasable toner isn’t always easy. Melo said not all its customers were happy about only having the erasable option.
The model, Melo said, should better serve the needs of those who want to be environmentally conscious but also may need something more permanent on occasion.
1、What’s special about Toshiba’s printer?
A．It’s low-priced. B．It’s fashionable.
C．It’s lightweight. D．It’s eco-friendly.
2、What’s the key to making the printer work?
A．A discard tank. B．Light colored ink.
C．Special writing paper. D．A high enough temperature.
3、What does the underlined word “catches” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Theories. B．Problems.
C．Differences. D．Characteristics.
4、How did the public respond to the printer?
A．They asked for more patterns.
B．Some expressed dissatisfaction.
C．Some worried about its recycling.
D．They considered it hard to operate.
24．（8分）Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.
People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions(排放) vehicles”, but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fire to make it. Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators(发电机). Generators are fueled by something--usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.
In other words, those "zero-emissions" cars are likely coal-burning cars. It’s just because the coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not. It's as if the California Greens are covering their eyes—“If I can't see it, it's not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of
energy in it. But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat—at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.
A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far—so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes or geothermal, or hydro or wind or solar, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don't use much of those energy sources.
In addition, electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it's a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.
1、What does “clueless” mean in paragraph 2?
A．People see the California Greens everywhere.
B．People there have no idea that so far electricity mainly comes from burning coal, oil, etc.
C．People in California love to have their roofs covered with solar cells.
D．People in California love to talk about zero-emissions vehicles.
2、What is the main idea of the text?
A．Electric cars are not clean at all.
B．Electric cars are better than gasoline-powered ones.
C．People cast doubts on electric cars’ batteries.
D．Gasoline is an efficient way to power a vehicle.
3、The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run ________.
A．not less than 25 miles B．as far as 50 miles
C．as far as 25 miles D．not more than 25 miles
4、According to the text, electric cars ________.
A．are more environmentally friendly
B．burn more fuel than gas-powered ones
C．are very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated
D．are poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill
5、It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A．being green is good and should be encouraged in communication
B．electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered cousins C．zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment
D．electric cars are not clean because we get electricity mainly by burning something 25．（10分）Dark Sky Parks around the World
Warrumbungle National Park
Situated in the central west slopes of New South Wales is Australia’s only dark sky park, Warrumbungle. The park has served as a dark sky park since July 2016. Its crystal-clear night skies and high altitude make it a natural, educational, and astronomical heritage site in the southern half of the earth. Tourists can use Australia’s largest optical telescope within the park boundaries to view the auroras(极光)，the Milky Way, and faint shooting stars.
Sark
Sark is a Channel Island near the coast of Normandy under the protection of the UK. It was the World’s First Dark Sky Island set up in January 2011. Its histo rical and cultural blend attracts over 40,000 tourists annually. With no motor vehicles and public lighting on the island, there is an exceptional view of the dark skies. A rich Milky Way is visible in the dark night skies from the shores of the island.
Pic du Midi de Bigorre
Pic du Midi de Bigorre in France was designated as a dark sky park in December 201 making it the second largest dark sky park in the world. The park covers 3.112 square kilometers spread across the Pyrenees National Park and UNESCO’s W orld Heritage site, Pyrenees-Mont Perdu. The park attracts over one hundred star watchers every year. The Observatory Midi-Pyrenees, which was built in 1870, is one of the world’s highest museums at a height of 2,877 meters above sea level.
Ramon Crater/Makhtesh Ramon
Ramon Crater is a unique 1,100-square-kilometer nature reserve located in the Negev Desert in Israel. In 2017, the Ramon Crater became the first designated dark sky park in the Middle East. Its location, rough climate, and forbidding landscape that are characteristic of the Negev have largely defeated historical attempts for human settlement, making it a great place to view the night skies. Stargazers usually camp in
the desert to have an uninterrupted view of the stars, planets, and the Milky Way.
1、Which park serves as a heritage site for astronomy?
A．Sark.
B．Pic du Midi de Bigorre.
C．Warrumbungle National Park.
D．Ramon Crater/Makhtesh Ramon.
2、What do we know about Sark from the passage?

B．It was an island belonging to Normandy.
C．The Milky Way can only be seen there.
D．Visitors like to stay on the island in groups.
3、What makes it difficult for humans to live in Ramon Crater?

C．Geographical conditions. D．Cultural features.
