21、About five years ago, an American electrical engineer named Scott Brusaw and his wife Julie came up with the idea of putting solar panels on the ground rather than the roof. Then they began to develop the Solar Roadway. The Solar Roadway is an intelligent road that provides clean renewable energy using power from the sun while providing safer driving conditions, along with power and data delivery. They predict that the Solar Roadway will pay for itself through the generation of electricity along with other forms of income and that the same money that is being used to build and resurface current roads can be used to build the Solar Roadways.
Each Solar Road Panel measures roughly 4 meters by 4 meters and contains a microprocessor (微处理器) that monitors and controls the panel, while communicating with neighboring panels and the vehicles traveling overhead. The inventors suggest that this provides a communications device every 4 meters on every road which could be used for example to warn drivers of cars which are moving across a centre line and various other speed control problems. The top of the Solar Road panels is made of super-strong glass that would offer vehicles the tractions (抓地力) they need.
According to the inventors, the Solar Roadway creates and carries clean renewable electricity and therefore electric vehicles can be recharged at any conveniently located rest stop, or at any business that has paved Solar Road Panels in their parking lots.
The inventors say their Solar Roadway has many functions and advantages from main roads to driveways, parking lots, bike paths, sidewalks and runways. The Federal Highway Administration has given Brusaw $100,000 to develop the invention and Brusaw hopes to build a smart-road parking lot in the coming spring .
【1】In the inventors’ opinion, the Solar Roadway _____.
A. is too expensive to build at present
B. costs no more money than current roads
C. can provide as many data as present computers
D. will bring them a large sum of money
【2】 It can be inferred from the text that _____.
A. the Solar Roadway has already been put into use
B. $100,000 is only enough to build a smart-road parking lot
C. the Solar Roadway is not available for gas-powered cars
D. future electric vehicles can be charged anytime and anywhere
【3】What can be the best title for the text?
A. Solar-powered smart road of the future
B. The great changes on the roadway
C. The influence the Solar Roadway has on people
D. The Solar Road — a much faster road
22、World's Most Impressive Stadiums
We gather in the thousands, the tens of thousands and sometimes even the hundreds of thousands to rsupport our favorite teams. With international flavor, size and historical significance to offer, we have some impressive options to offer.
Camp Nou-Barcelona, Spain
For European largest stadium—FC Barcelona's home stadium houses 99, 354—some of the more interesting features are hidden within the structure. Opened in 1957, the stadium was nicknamed Camp Nou (new ground). Along with the famed red and blue colors of the inner part, the stadium includes a museum and television studios.
Bird's Nest-Beijing, China
Beijing National Stadium, or the Bird's Nest Stadium, which made its first appearance by staging 2008 Olympics, is the biggest stadium in Beijing, holding 91, 000 scats for audience. The outer shell is the world's largest steel structure. The Bird's Nest will become the first stadium in the world to host both Summer and Winter Olympic Games ceremonies.
Maracana-Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Maracana, once redesigned for the 2014 World Cup, has a current capacity of over 78, 000, which allows the stadium to host another historic event—the 2016 Olympic Opening Ceremonies. Having hosted important competitions, for example, World Cup Finals, the second largest stadium in South America stands in historical air.
Wembley Stadium-London, England
Rebuilding the famous 1924-opened Wembley Stadium in 2007 was no small task, but the new Wembley still surprises the world for its 7, 840-ton steel roof structure and a 436-foot-tall steel arch.

23、“Dad,” I say one day, “Let’s take a trip. Why don’t you fly and meet me?”
My father had just retire after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thought, his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.
My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure.
He agrees to travel with me through the national parks. We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.
“What is our first stop?” asks my father.
“What time is it?”
“Still don’t have a watch?”
Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite(花岗岩), his mouth and eyes open slowly, like those of little boy.
“Unbelievable,” he says, “How was this done?”
A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son.
We stare up and I ask myself, would I ever devote my life to anything?
No directions, no goals. I always used to hear those words in my father’s voice. Now I hear them in my own.
The next day we’re at Yellowstone National Park, where we have a picnic.
“Did you ever travel with your dad? I ask.
“Only once,” he says. “I never spoke much with my father. We loved each other—but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”>

24、 Rain beats against the window, matching my mood. I should have known that my new job at the hospital was too good to be true. Throughout the day, rumors warned me that the newest employee from each department would be laid off (解雇). I was the newest one in the training department.
My boss appeared."You probably know we're cutting back on staff,"he said. "The administration wants us to offer outplacement classes to help those employees find other jobs, showing them how to act in an interview, for example.""Fine,"I answered unwillingly,not knowing what else to say.
I decided to go home early that day. In the hall, I met the lady who brought us cookies every Friday. She was a little woman with gray hair. Only her head and the top of her green apron were visible over the cart (小车) loaded with cleaning supplies. At least she had a job!
At the final meeting, laid-off workers formed a line at the door. A colleague whispered, "I can't believe our Cookie Lady is laid off. We'll miss her as much as we'll miss her cookies. "When the colleague spoke to her in Spanish , I knew my classes would be useless for her
I decided to do something for her. I wrote to a newspaper expressing how I felt about the unselfishness of the Cookie Lady who needed a job.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Once upon a time, there lived a young man who wished he could support himself. While exploring what business he would take on, he met a very well-traveled man. The man told the young man great tales of his travel, and then he talked about a country that had no onions.
Without any further thoughts, he bought onions, filled his cart and set his journey towards this wildly fantastic land without onions. Finally, after several days he arrived in the onion-less country. “I bring you a great gift from my country,” the young man proudly announced. “The plant is native to my place but new to yours. It has the unique ability to improve the flavor (滋味) of any food. It would be great if I could offer you this magic plant which you, in turn, introduce to your people.” The emperor was a little cautious about letting the strange plant in at first, but he later allowed the young man to prepare some foods using the onions.
The young man used all his skills to prepare the feast using the onions. All the empire’s ministers, the nobility and senior officials were invited to the dinner that night. After the young man did the initial tasting, the feast began. Then, everyone in the room started eating the food. It didn’t take long for the hall to get into a great noise of excitement. All praised the smell and the taste of the food. The emperor thanked the young man a lot, demanded all of the onions, and paid him its weight in gold.
On his journey back home, the young man met a trader. For hours that night, the young man told what he had seen in that faraway land, where gold was worth less than onions. He also told the trader that he learned that the country did not have garlic (大蒜). The trader was excited.
