Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside, may be one hundred times worse. Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. Some pollutants can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer. Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution. People have paid more attention to the problem now. It is true that when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy. To do this they build buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also began using man-made building materials. These materials are now known to let out harmful gases. As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for buildinggreen plants. Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plants leaves absorb or take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and tiny organizations on its roots. Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square meters of space. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. Having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and more healthy place.21.The indoor air pollution is caused by _.A.the man-made building materials and the limit of air-flowB.the building way that the builders want to save energyC.the building things that are made of man-made materialsD.the limit of the flow of air between inside and outside22.The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that _.A.plants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoorsB.plants may take in more oxygen which people needC.plants can make our houses prettier and more healthyD.plants can absorb different kinds of harmful indoor chemicals23.Generally speaking, indoor air pollution may be more harmful than the air outside because_.A.indoor air pollution can often make people seriously illB.there may be more harmful gases outside the buildingsC.the man-made building materials give off dangerous gases inside housesD.the air indoors is polluted, which is very harmfulB. An Undiscovered Masterpiece A few years ago, my wife, Sue had some serious health problems. She had suffered surgery after surgery and had also put on weight. Diets had not helped her and she suffered constantly from undiagnosed pain. One day the whole family sat down and drew up a “wish list”. To our surprise, one of Sues items was to run in a marathon. Given her history and physical limitations, I thought her goal was pletely unrealistic, but Sue became mitted to it. She began by running very slowly and every day she ran just a little farther than she did the day before. Soon she could run three miles. Then five. Sue kept practicing and longed to run in the St. George Marathon in southern Utah.On the big day, I parked our van near the finish line, waiting for Sue. The rain was steady and the wind was cold. The marathon had started over five hours ago. The fast and strong petitors had finished already. Several cold and injured runners had been transported past me, and I began to panic. The image of Sue, alone and cold, off the road somewhere, made me sick with worry.Another hour passed and I spotted a small group running up. As they approached, I could see Sue, in the pany of three others, and a woman in her twenties was near Sue. It was obvious that they had bee friends during the race. I could see her begin to struggle. But when the finish line came into sight, she confidently even happily picked up her pace the last hundred yards to the finish line. Few people were left to congratulate my wife. They openly praised and embraced her, “She made us believe we could do it,” her new friend stated. From then on, she was carrying herself differently. Her head was more upright. Her shoulders were squared. Her walk had a new confidence. Her voice held a new, quiet dignity. It was not as if she had bee someone new; it was more as if she had discovered a real self she had not known before. It was perseverance that made her realize she was an undiscovered masterpiece with a million things left to learn about herself. She truly liked her newly discovered self. So did I.24. The author began to panic because _.A. he was cold and lonely on the roadB. he was concerned about SueC. he noticed some runners were sickD.he saw his wife was struggling25. Why did the author think Sue had an unrealistic goal?A. She was in bad health condition.B. She occasionally suffered from pains.C. She was diagnosed with cancer.D. She always had an unhealthy diet26.The writer wrote this article in order to tell us that _.A. Sue did a good job in the marathonB. Sue made many friends in the raceC. he was grateful because Sue had recoveredD. nothing can take the place of perseverance27.As for “An Undiscovered Masterpiece”, the author refers to_.A. Sues squared shouldersB. the marathon in southern UtahC. Sues newly-discovered selfD. Sues newly-made friend The possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurists dream, years away from materializing in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for panies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for panies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for panies to operate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isnt leading the way here. panies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. Its hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated. While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars(and rightfully so), policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions(排放) and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared. Do we want to copy or even worsen the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport an unwele side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing(叫车) services. A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol-powered private cars worldwide with electric, self-driving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure(基础设施) and operations 40% by 2050. Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing. The first mercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride-hailing services, considering the cost of self-driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues(责任与维护问题). But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people bee fortable with the technology. Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles doesnt extend the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportation system we have today. The ing technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is ing. We just have to plan for it.28. According to the author, attention should be paid to how driverless cars can _.A. help deal with transportation-related problemsB. provide better services to customersC. cause damage to our environmentD. make some people lose jobs29. What does the underlined word fielded in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Employed. B. Replaced. C. Shared. D. Reduced.30.What is the authors attitude to the future of self-driving cars?A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic.31.As for driverless cars, what is the authors major concern?A. Safety. B. Side effects. C. Affordability. D. Management. D. The other day I came across a story in The New York Times Magazine about Googles goal to build better teams in the workplace. Google found that the best teams arent necessarily formed when great minds e together but rather when co-workers feel “psychologically safe” with one another. Thats something Google managerMatt Sakaguchi discovered first-hand after a survey showed not all of his employees felt fulfilled at work. Matt met with his team outside the office to go over the survey results. He asked his employees to open up by sharing something personal and kicked things off with a story of his own. “I think one of the things most people dont know about me is that I have Stage 4 cancer, he said. His team was shocked. Apparently Matt had been receiving treatment for quite some time. They had no idea. Matts story turned out to be a lightning moment. Others on the team shared deeply personal stories too. By the end of the outing, they could discuss their work grievances (委屈) with greater ease, hopefully solving some of the issues that the survey uncovered. Theres a scientific reason that Matts team responded so positively to his story. Did you know that stories can actually affect your brains activity? Dr. Uri Hasson, a neuroscientist at Princeton University, has studied the impact of storytelling on the brain using functional MRIs. He found that when people listen to stories, their brain actually “synchs up” with the storytellers brain. In other words, the listener and storyteller feel the same things. Heartache, surprise, joy. Its called “neural coupling.” “Stories change brain chemistry that in turn triggers (引发) sympathy in your audience,” writes Carmine Gallo, author of The Storytellers Secret, in a recentBusiness Insiderarticle. “When the brain hears an exciting personal story, it triggers a rush of chemicals including the love molecule (分子) that makes us feel sympathetic for another person.”So keep on telling your stories. They just might help you heal or inspire someone else. And thats an amazing thing.32.What does the underlined phrase “synchs up” in the fourth paragraph mean?A. Moves up. B. Mixes up. C. Loses touch. D. Keeps pace.33.What can we learn about sympathy from the text?A. Its a result of chemistry change in the brain.B. It happens only when the listener gets touched.C. It can be used as a treatment for brain diseases.D. Its a feeling that develops between people in love.34. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. The Managers Secret. B. The Power of Stories.C. An Amazing Story. D. New Cure for Cancer.35.Why did Matt Sakaguchi share his personal story with his team?A. To show his pity for them.B. To gain support from them.C. To encourage them to say what they really think.D. To help them better understand the survey results.七选五：根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。If you think your vocabulary is weak, a little effort every day over six to nine months can go a long way in improving it.
