21、Bill Bowerman was a track coach.He wanted to help athletes run faster. So he had learned how to make running shoes. He had also started a shoe company with a friend. It was 1971. Running shoes at the time were heavy. They had spikes(鞋钉)on the sole(鞋底). The spikes tore up the track and slowed down runners.
To make a lighter shoe, Bill tried the skins of fish. To make a better sole, he wanted to replace the spikes. Bill look through his wife Barbara's jewelry box. He hoped to find a piece of jewelry with an interesting pattern. He would then copy the pattern onto the new soles. Nothing worked. Bill was stumped. Then, one Sunday morning, Barbara made Bill waffles(华夫饼)for breakfast. Bill watched her cook. He studied the cross pattern on their old waffle iron.
Inspiration(灵感)hit.
The pattern on a waffle iron was just what Bill was looking for. The squares were fatter and wider than sharp spikes. The pattern would help the shoes grip (抓牢) any surface without tearing into it.
When Barbara left the house, Bill ran to his lab. He took the liquid chemicals that, when mixed, would harden into the sole of a shoe. He poured the mixture into the waffle iron and the Waffle Trainer was born.
Bill's company put the Waffle Trainer on the market in 1974. It was a huge hit. Maybe you've heard of that company called Nike. And today it's worth around $100 billion.
It was the waffle iron that had changed the course of Bill's life and helped turn Nike into a well-known name. Today, the waffle iron is kept at Nike headquarters. It serves as a reminder that if we keep trying, we can find a solution to even the toughest problems. And those solutions can come from unlikely places,even the breakfast table.
【1】What was wrong with the running shoes before the Wattle Trainer was made?
A.They were easily worn out.

D.They were too expensive.
【2】What does the underlined word "stumped" in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Inspired.
B.Defeated.
C.Satisfied.
D.Doubted.
【3】What can we say about the birth of Waffle Trainer?
A.It was made quite by accident.
B.It was invented by Bill's wife.
C.It was based on many lab tests.
D.It was supported by another company.
【4】What can we learn from Bill's experience?
A.Where there's a will, there's a way.
B.Good is rewarded with good.
C.Two heads are better than one.
D.A misfortune may turn out a blessing.
22、China has become the first country to successfully land a spacecraft on the far side of the moon. The Chang’e 4 probe (探测器) has also made the first moon landing since 1972. It has the task of exploring the side of the moon that never faces the Earth. The dark side of the moon is older and has a thicker surface than the visible side. It takes the moon as long to go around on its own axis (轴) as it does for one complete orbit around the Earth.
The Chinese probe landed in a huge crater (坑) 2,500 km in diameter and 13 km in depth. The crater is one of the oldest parts of the moon and our solar system.
Scientists hope to learn more about the geology of the far side of the moon. The craft has two cameras on board which will send images back to the earth. It will also try to send signals to distant regions of space, something that cannot happen on the earth because of too much radio noise.
Chang’e 4 also has instruments on board to examine minerals as well as a container with seeds which will try to create a miniature (微型的) biosphere (生物圈).
Communication with the spacecraft is not easy. Images and other data must be transmitted to a separate satellite because no direct communication with the earth is possible.
For China the Chang’e 4 mission is an important achievement, because the country has successfully done something no other nation on the earth has done. It wants to become a leading power in space exploration and has announced plans to send astronauts to the moon and set up its own space station.
【1】Where did the Chang’e 4 probe land?
A.On the side of the moon facing the earth.
B.On the invisible side of the moon.
C.In a younger crater on the moon.
D.In a previous space station.
【2】What can we learn from the text?
A.The dark side of the moon is as cold as the other side.
B.The bright side is younger and thinner than the other side.
C.Other places in space may hardly receive signals from the craft.
D.The two cameras on the craft can send pictures to the earth easily.
【3】According to the text, what will China do in the future?
A.Land manned spacecraft on the moon.
B.Build another space station on the moon.
C.Launch more space probes to the moon.
D.Become the first country to explore space.

24、 Last year I ruined my summer vacation by bringing along a modern convenience that was too convenient for my own good: the iPad. Instead of looking at nature, I checked my email. Instead of paddling a small boat, I followed my Twitter feed (推特简讯). Instead of reading great novels, I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning. I was behaving as if I were still in the office. My body was on vacation but my head wasn’t.
So this year I made up my mind to try something different: withdrawal (退出) from the Internet. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, since I’m bad at self-control. But I was determined. I started by giving the iPad to my wife.
The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts at cheating a frustrating experience. I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan. Largely cut off from e-mail, Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites, I had few ways to connect to the world except for radio and how much radio can one listen to, really? I had to do what I had planned to all along: read books.
This experience has had a happy ending. With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad, that was the problem. I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. “ I don’t need it,” I said.
However, as we return to post-vacation life, a harder test begins: Can I continue when I’m back at work? There are times when the need to know what’s being said right now is great. And I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely. But I hope to resist the temptation (诱惑) to check my e-mail every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two.
I think a vacation is supposed to help you reset your brain to become more productive. Here I hope this one worked.
【1】What do we know about the author’s summer vacation last year ?
A.He worked as if he were at work then
B.He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view.

D.He felt satisfied that he has stuck to his usual timetable.
【2】When back at work, the author will probably choose to________.
A.continue to read more and more books.
B.stay away from the Internet for ever.
C.stop checking what is being said right now completely.
D.keep control of when and how to use the Internet.
【3】What is the author’s opinion of a great vacation in the passage?
A.A vacation means a change of pace to make one more creative.
B.A vacation is a period of time to do whatever one wished to.

D.A vacation proves that a life of pleasure is overvalued.
25、We suppose it makes sense that, after humans, connected dogs are the next big thing. Link AKC, backed by the American Kennel Club (hence the AKC), has just announced a smart collar _______to give dog owners more information about their pet’s well-being.
The collar does a few different things, from tracking your dogs’ location to _______ its comfort. The collar’s built-in GPS means you’ll be able to keep an eye on your pup’s _______ at all time, and, when paired with the base station, even set up a “_______ fence” that will alert you if the dog starts wandering astray (迷路). There’s also a handy remote-controlled light _______ you need to go out in the dark in search of your dog companion.
Like any wearable worth its salt (名副其实), the collar also _______ as an activity tracker. The Link AKC collar will let owners track their dogs’ activity levels and see whether it’s getting the right amount of exercise each day, taking into _______ its breed, age and size.
One of the best features, we think, is the temperature sensor that will _______ you if your dog is in an environment that’s too hot or cold. Considering the number of foolish people who still leave dogs in hot cars _______ all common sense and endless public service announcements (seriously, just don’t do it, yeah), this could ________ save some lives.
Finally, the collar has a ________ called “Adventures” that will let you create a “scrapbook” of memories with your dog by pushing a button, which you can then ________ on social media. We assume this will be more like a Facebook check-in with a photo, and that it won’t be uploading a montage of you and your dog playing in the forest to Starship’s “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now”— but we secretly hope for the latter.
A lot of ________ is being put on how the collar looks too, and we can see why; somehow the market for wearable dog tech has already nailed fashion better than the human one.
The collar will cost $199, however you’ll also need to ________ up for a monthly membership in order to use the device, and plans start at $6.95 with a two-year commitment. We assume that might put some people off.
The collar will be shipping by December 28, the company says, however right now it can only be ordered to the US. You can ________ one today from the website, and we’ll let you know if we get word on UK pricing and availability.
