thinking of the modem world as British writer George Orwell(19031950)Orwell wrote many things on a variety of topics，for example，poverty in England in the 1930s during the Great Depression and his experience in the Spanish Civil War(19361939)But he is most famous for his works of fiction，Animal Farm(1945)and， especially，Nineteen Eighty-Four(1949)These last books became especially influential in the West in the 1950s during the early Cold War yearsIn Nineteen Eighty-Four，Orwell imagined a Britain of the future，modeled on the Soviet union(苏联) His frightening tale of Winston Smith，a regular man who comes into conflict with the government，was close to the fears of many people of the timeIdeas from the novel soon entered everyday culture，and are still in use today “Big Brother”，for example，is a phrase from the book that refers to how authority is always looking over ones shoulder. Other phrases used in the novel，1ike“War is Peace”and “Freedom is slavery”are also still used nowIndeed，many people see Orwells book as a warning about what might happen if those in power become corruptedEven today，Orwell remains an influential voice. Often，writers achieve great fame and popularity，but they dont affect how people live their everyday livesUNESCO S Memory of the World Programme recently decided to include a collection of Orwells writings on its registerThe Memory of the World register is similar to UNESCOs world heritage site program，which protects places and buildings natural features in the worldAccording to its website，the idea behind the body is“that the worlds documentary evidence belongs to all”and should be “accessible forever to all”University College London，which proposed the idea to UNESCO，said in its application that Orwells work“had a great influence on human thought in all parts of the world，an influence that remain powerful today”24What do we know about Orwell?AHe only wrote about imaginary worldsBHe liked to follow the style of other writersCHis works were based on his own experienceDHis books were well-received during the Cold War25Orwell wrote the novel Nineteen eight-Four to_Awarn people of the dangers of corruptionBpresent various conflicts with the governmentCexpose the cruelty of the war in the 20th centuryDdescribe the serious effects of poverty in England26The passage mentioned some phrases from Orwells books mainly to_Astress his ideas are still popular todayBshare some of his ideas with leadersCshow how he used language in a creative wayDexplain how he described the dark side of society27Why would the Memory of the Word register include Orwells writings?AThey are a huge literary successBThey introduced a new way of writingCThey shaped political systems in Western countriesDThey continue to have a great effect on human thought.CThe Iroquois named the great waterfall Niagara，which means “thunder of waters”For people living near the falls in New York State or Canada，the thunder of falling water never stopswell，almost never On March 29，1848 ，the usually early signs of spring were coming to the Niagara Falls areaSnow was beginning to melt，and the air was losing its chilly bite .In the late afternoon，however，people began looking at each other as if to ask， “Somethings differentWhat is it?”Then they realizedThe air was strangely silent；the thunder of the falls had stoppedThe people had been used to that dull roar(轰鸣)all their livesThey ran to the falls to see what had happenedTo their astonishment，they found the riverbed above the falls emptyThe bottom of Niagara River lay exposed，with just a few trickles and puddles of water remaining among the rocks and mudAs word of the mysterious event spread， hundreds of people flocked to the scenethen thousandsAfter nightfall countless lanterns could be seen shining along the banks as New Yorkers and Canadians camped at the rivers edge，waiting to see the unusual sight at dawnMost who lived or came there were merely curious，but others felt a deep fearSomething unknown had upset the unchanging order of natureWhat might happen next?By the next day，5，000 people were thereThose who were brave began walking into the riverbed and to the base of the falls. They found arrowheads and other objects that had lain there for yearsperhaps for agesFor 30 hours the Niagara Rivet lay dryThen came a distant roar，growing louderPeople scrambled up the banksThe waters rushed back，and all was as it had beenWhat had caused the river and the falls to stop? Only later did the people learn that a huge ice jam upstream had temporarily dammed the Niagara RiverThe fears were gone，but no one would forget the day the fails stopped28What does the underlined

water DThe melting snow along the river31It can be inferred from the passage that_Apeople living near the falls were used to the silenceBthe stop of the falls resulted from climate changeCmysterious power may lie somewhere in the worldDNiagara falls has never stopped since it came into beingDWhen a laptop or smartphone battery starts losing its power，the only options are to buy an expensive replacement，or just keep it plugged in all the timeBut a woman Mya Le Thai may have found the answer to this problemThai was frustrated that the batteries for her wireless devices degraded(降级)over time，until they failed to charge fullyShe did not like having to keep her laptop connected to an electrical outlet to keep it powered onSo，she decided to do something about that problemAt first，she and her team at UC Irvine thought about inventing a new batteryBut as they experimented，Thai discovered something that might permit lithiumion(锂离子)batteries to last foreverLithium-ion batteries power most wireless devicesOver time，the batteries lose the ability to hold a chargeMost of these batteries have a life span of about 7,000 charging cycles before they dieOne of the reasons lithiumion batteries degrade is their use of nanowires to carry electricityNanowires are extremely thinA human hair is thousands of times thicker，for exampleNanowires are extremely efficient carriers of electricity，which makes them useful in batteriesBut，Thai had a theorythe nanowires might last longer if covered with a gel(凝胶)She and her team tested this theory “It was a long process and a lot of work， ”Thai saidThe team tried many coverings for the wiresPMMA，a type of plastic，was one of themThe nanowires were coated with PMMA and cycled through charges 200，000 timesThe PMMA-coated nanowires showed no evidence of damageThe results suggest that batteries could last forever，without losing charging abilityThai hopes to continue her research to understand why this gel works so well and to see if any other gel could create better results and she is enjoying the publicity about her discoveryShe said she never expected her research to get media coverage “Its kind of cool,”she said “Im really glad people are showing interest in my work and not just in the work itself，but also in technology and energy ”32Why did Mya Le Thai work on lithium-ion batteries?AShe disliked the batteries for her laptopBHer team were assigned to invent a new batteryCMany people thought batteries were too expensiveDThe batteries would soon lose the function to charge fully33What can we infer about nanowires?AThey last only 7,000 charging cyclesBThey are too weak to carry electricityCThey are not suitable to use in batteriesDTheir thinness is a cause of batteries degrade34What might be Thai and her teams breakthrough?ACoating nanowires in gel BA new kind of batteryCNew materials for batteries DA new way of charging batteries35What may be the best title for the passage?AThe options of batteries for wireless devices BA woman invents a lifelong battery.CMya Le Thai discovered Nanowires DThe reasons for batteries degrading第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10
