22、 People across Western Europe are experiencing a heat wave this week, with the worst still to come on Thursday. Officials sounded high-temperature health warnings on Wednesday, mindful that some heat waves before had caused thousands of deaths across an area where people are not used to such weather and few homes have air conditioning.
Rene Pierron, 51, a street cleaner at Paris City Hall, was not lucky, and said it was difficult to work outdoors under such conditions. “The buildings and roads here take the heat in during the day and act like radiators (散热器) — it's unbearable,” he said while taking a break near the Avenue des Champs-Elysees.
Kate Simmonds, also 51, who works in a restaurant in central London, could commiserate (同情).“It's so hot—we can’t work like this,” she said on Wednesday. But she said business was good this week, with plenty of people buying cold drinks and ice cream.
Nation after nation have given health-related warning for people becoming tired and weak in the heat. Belgium gave its highest warning since its weather warning system was put in place 20 years ago, and Germany placed the whole country under a heat warning.
Britain's weather service, the Met Office, placed five of England’s nine areas, including London, on a “Level Three” heat health watch, one level short of a national emergency.
Liz Bentley, the chief executive of Britain’s Royal Meteorological Society, warned: “While a country like Britain is not used to heat waves, they could become more common because of the changing climate. If you live in a Mediterranean(地中海) country, the population adapts to these temperatures. But we’ll see the number of deaths go up in the next coming days.”
【1】What did Rene Pierron think of the weather?
A.It created some business chances.
B.It made his work more difficult.
C.It might cause people to die.
D.It would end sooner or later.
【2】How did Germany deal with the heat wave?
A.It provided air conditioning for poor people.
B.It suggested people stay away from work.
C.It has carried out many helpful actions.
D.It warned the whole country of the heat.
【3】On which level is a heat national emergency in Britain?
A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.
【4】Which of the following did Liz Bentley agree with?
A.Such weather will appear less frequently.
B.The danger of the weather have been gradually realized.
C.People from Mediterranean countries adjust to the weather.
D.Fewer people from Britain have been influenced by the weather.
【5】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Heat Wave Spreads across Western Europe
B.Heat Wave Makes Things Bad for Human Beings
C.Europe Tries to Find Ways to Deal with Heat Wave
D.Heat Wave Reminds People to Protect the Environment
23、A new concept vehicle, Pod was introduced by Toyota and Sony at the Tokyo motor show. The car is intended as a four-wheeled friend. It aims to provide affection, sympathy and encouragement. Like a dog welcoming its master, the car sits up, wags its tail and acknowledges its owner’s presence using hydraulics(液压装置) and a multi-coloured LED display panel(引擎) across the front.
While on the road, the car constantly monitors the driver’s mood with pulse and sweat(汗) sensors on the joystick(操纵杆). Cameras focused on the eyes keep watch for any sigh of drowsiness. If a driver appears to be losing his or her cool, Pod will display warnings, play soft music and blow cold air at the face. Drivers are shaken awake with loud music and a shaking chair.
To improve driving skills, Pod uses a comparison to score drivers, offer advice and rank all Pod owners. Toyota claims that the car will eventually be able to learn its owner’s likes and dislikes by monitoring passenger conversations. If the car hears a favorite song being discussed, it will download the track from the Internet and play it without being asked. It will also recommend(推荐) restaurants that might suit the driver’s taste and take photographs of passengers when they sound particularly happy.
In keeping with the moodiness that is the car’s main selling point, Pod expresses a form of road anger. If a driver brakes or swerves(急转弯) suddenly, the LED panel shows an angry red and the tail rises at the back.
Anger is one of the car’s ten “emotional states”. Another is sadness --- a blue front with tear-shaped lights seemingly dropping from headlights --- which appears after a flat tire or when gas is low.
“We wanted to show that the cars can be cheerful and entertaining,” said Yasunori Sakamoto, part of the Toyota design team. Mr Sakamoto said Toyota has no plans to put Pod on the market. Sad, really.
【1】The underlined word “drowsiness” in Paragraph 2 means _________.
A. fear B. boredom C. excitement D. sleepiness
【2】According to the text, Pod can ___________.
A. rank the restaurant nearby
B. recommend a song to passenger

【3】If the new concept vehicle is running out of gas, __________.
A. the LED panel turns red
B. the tail rises at the back of the car
C. the front light turn blue and look like tears
D.the car stops and shake with loud music
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards Pod?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful.
C. Pessimistic. D. Tolerant.
24、Microscopic particles (微观粒子) from outer space are also called space dust. They’re in the dirt on the ground and on your roof. They may discomfort your nose. They have settled all over our planet.
Despite their widespread presence, finding space dust isn’t easy. One place that the particles show up more easily is Antarctica. Around a decade ago, Matthew Genge at Imperial College London spent seven weeks searching for and collecting dust there.
The disadvantage of collecting dust from Antarctica is the high cost and complications of travelling there. That’s why Penny Wozniakiewicz of the University of Kent in the UK has focused on her research closer to home. The key is to collect material from a fairly undisturbed spot. She seeks the rooftops of old buildings in the UK as the source of her samples.
She focuses on these roofs because they are old and more untouched than modern buildings. What’s more, historic buildings usually have well-kept records that indicate when conservation and cleaning have been done. That makes it easier to determine how long space dust has been collected and gives researchers insight into what other particles might be present in the dust they collect. This allows them to more efficiently remove the Earth stuff, and focus on the space stuff.
“The idea is to actually take something you can barely see on your finger, and then make it much bigger so you can hold it in your hand,” says Wozniakiewicz. Each year, approximately 100 billion particles of space dust land on Earth, carrying secrets from outer space and offering glimpses into the formation of planetary systems. These particles not only contain water but also organic molecules (有机分子); they potentially serve as the building blocks for life on Earth. Space dust could, therefore, tell scientists about the complex relationship between these celestial bodies (天体) and Earth. It acts as a bridge, connecting us to the wider space.
【1】What do we know about space dust?
A．There is much space dust in the UK.
B．It shows up more easily in Antarctica.
C．Space dust is easy to collect everywhere.
D．Space dust contains only organic molecules.
【2】Why does Wozniakiewicz choose to do the research near her home?
A．She doesn’t want to be too far away from home.
B．She wants to collect dust from modern buildings.
C．Travelling to Antarctica is expensive and complicated.
D．A fairly undisturbed spot couldn’t be found in Antarctica.
【3】What’s the purpose of “records” for the study in paragraph 4?
A．To uncover the secret of outer space.
B．To make collecting Earth stuff easier.
C．To help researchers find out space stuff.
D．To show how often buildings were cleaned.
【4】What’s the best title of the text?
A．How space dust comes into being
B．An extraordinary exploration to outer space
C．The relationship between space and humans
D．Space dust bridges outer space and humans
