Glen Nevis is known as the “outdoor capital” of Scotland. Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis, rises above the area, while the waters of the River Nevis flow through the rocky valley below. The wonderful scenery attracts walkers and climbers all through the seasons, though it's cold in winter.
During the summer months, one of the most exciting activities is the yearly Glen Nevis River Race, in which competitors race for three kilometres along the river, but not in a boat. Instead, each competitor uses a lilo, a plastic bed filled with air normally used for camping or floating in the sea, to race along the river. There are rocks, waterfalls and sections with scary names like Dead Dog Pool and the Leg Breaker for them to get through.
Competitors set off at 30 second intervals (间隔) by jumping with their lilos from a tiny shelf on a rock into the fast-flowing water 12 metres below. It can take anything from 20 minutes to over two hours to complete the course, depending on the level of the river and the abilities of the competitor.
The only rules are that competitors must be at least 16 years old, and should provide their own crash helmet (防撞头盔), a rubber wet suit and a life jacket. Gloves and old trainers are suggested to protect against knocks. The most important qualification (资格), however, is a sense of fun.
The race is full of exciting moments, and the greatest of these is at the Lower Falls Leap, where terrified competitors have to jump over a ten-metre waterfall not far from the finish. More than 3,000 athletes have taken part in the race during its 30-year history. Their ￡30 entry fee helps to raise money for the mountain rescue team, whose members provide an essential service in the region for free.
The prizes may not be fantastic, but everyone receives a certificate (证书) of completion and the winner gets the title River Race Champion and all who take part agree that it is worth it for the satisfying feeling of reaching the end safely.
24. What do we know about the Glen Nevis River Race?
A. It is usually held in winter.
B. Its winners receive grand prizes.
C. It is interesting though quite difficult.
D. Its participants have to swim for 3 km.
25. According to the text, to complete the race, _____.
A. the competitors' abilities matter
B. the quality of the lilos plays a key role
C. the level of the river does not matter much
D. the racers' performance counts more than speed
26. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The rules of the competition.
B. The requirements for competitors.
C. Methods of winning the competition.

In his book The Tipping Point Canadian author Malcolm Gladwell explains how a trend (潮流) can take many forms. It can be a general change in social behaviour, an idea or a fashion. However, why do some trends catch on and others not? What makes one particular brand of training shoe suddenly become the must-have product? How do people find out about trends and what makes people want to buy into them? Is it simply a question of keeping up with other people?
In his new work, Gladwell explores the moment when something becomes common and how products, ideas, messages and forms of behaviour spread. He looks at the reasons why trends are similar in the way they develop to outbreaks of disease, or medical epidemics (流行病).
Epidemics, like trends, start in a very small way, maybe from a single person with a virus, then spread very quickly until they take over the population and appear to be everywhere. Eventually, they will slow down gradually or die out suddenly. Gladwell shows how these changes happen not gradually but at one sudden moment.
Gladwell identifies three types of people who are influential in the development of these kinds of social epidemics:
Connectors are people in a community who have wide social circles. They know a lot of people and like to introduce people to each other. The people they know often come from a variety of social, cultural, professional and economic circles.
Mavens are people with a lot of knowledge or experts in a particular field. They wish to pass on their knowledge to others. Mavens collect and gather information so are the first to pick up on new trends.
Salesmen are people with charisma (魅力). They have a “soft” influence over people rather than actual power. This means they are influential because people want to imitate them.
Overall, Gladwell's book is a thought-provoking (引人深思的) read for anyone interested in the origins of trends. What's more, he writes in a clear style so even the most difficult ideas are easy to understand.
28. What does the underlined part “buy into” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Pay money for.
B. Gain control of.
C . Keep the same level as. D. Believe in and be influenced by.
29. What do we know about Gladwell?
A. He is a productive North American writer.
B. He has written many books on the subject of trends.
C. He thinks trends develop in the same way as illnesses.
D. He believes there are three types of people in the world.
30. According to the text, connectors _____.
A. often follow others
B. are very social persons
C. are knowledgeable and experienced
D. know many people from the same circle
31. What do we know from the text?
A. Mavens quickly become aware of changes in fashions.
B. Salesmen try to control other people using their power.
C. Connectors and Mavens try to get their information across.
D. This book is interesting but hard to understand for readers.

Chicken feathers are useful, and not just to chickens. Some go into pillows, coats and other products. But countless chicken feathers go to waste.
In the United States, billions of chickens are produced yearly. Most of their feathers are thrown away. But instead of ending up in landfills (废物埋填地), some feathers could find a future in plastics.
Scientists in the Washington area have been working with keratin, the main substance (物质) in chicken feathers. One of the products they have developed is a flowerpot which may look like other flowerpots, but the container breaks down in the earth within one to five years. And as it breaks down, it releases nitrogen (氮) into the soil.
The environmentally friendly flowerpot is the work of two researchers Walter Schmidt and Masud Huda. Walter Schmidt has been working to find uses for chicken feathers since the 1990s. Progress in 2002 showed that plastic made from feathers could be formed like other plastics.
He says feathers are much stronger and last longer than another plant material, cellulose (纤维素). “Feathers are about eight times as strong as cellulose. By design, feathers are strong and durable (耐用的).”
Walter Schmidt also points out that traditional flowerpots can last much longer. But he wonders if there is really a need. He says most flowerpots are never reused.
“Why would you want a plastic that you use for a year to last for two hundred years? It makes no sense. You want to match the product with the use,” he says.
Walter Schmidt and Masud Huda are now adding another chicken product to their flowerpots —chicken waste. The waste will add more nutrients to the soil as the pot breaks down. The scientists say they hope their flowerpot will be on the market in a year or two.
32. What is this passage mainly about?
A. A new kind of flowerpot will be on the market.
B. Scientists find new uses for chicken feathers.
C. Chicken feathers are not only useful to chickens.
D. Billions of chickens are produced yearly in the US.
33. From Paragraph 2 we know that _____.
A. the US produces the most chickens around the world
B. all chicken feathers will be made into plastics in the future
C. chicken feathers will no longer be taken to landfills quite soon
D. most chicken feathers are not made use of in the US at present
34. Which of the following is the main feature of the new flowerpot?
A. It looks quite different.
B. It can be used for years.
C. It is environmentally friendly.
D. It is made from waste.
35. Walter Schmidt most probably thinks _____.
A. people should re-use the same flowerpot
B. it is unnecessary for a flowerpot to last long
C. nowadays most products don’t match their use
D. people prefer to buy flowerpots which last long

Bank, companies, and government agencies use secret code in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer. People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags (落后) behind code making. The science of decoding and reading coded messages is called cryptography. There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters a re “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” 38 You might represent each letter with a number, for example, let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, th e message “Meet me” would read “1 3 5 20 13 5”. A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me”.The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me”. 40 However, it

According to news reports, shared bikes are badly treated by users. When people are using the bike, some of them just throw it onto streets and even into ditches(水沟). Some bikes are stolen.

Mobike has 100 credit (信用) scores for each user. Penalty (惩罚)points will be taken in case of users? bad behaviors. Once the score drops to below 80, bike rental will go up to five yuan per 30 minutes. However, punishment may not be the best way to stop shared bikes from being stolen or damaged. Bike-sharing services will work well only if people follow the rules and show respect for the bikes and other users. 1. Why do many cities have offered bike-sharing? A.To provide convenience to travelers. B. To reduce traffic jams and air pollution. C. To make money for the company by renting. D. To encourage more people to excise by riding. 2.

2017年江苏省英语高考阅读C
2017年江苏省英语高考阅读C A new commodity brings about a highly profitable,fast-growing industry,urging antitrust（反垄断）regulators to step in to check those who control its flow. A century ago,the resource in question was oil. Now similar concerns are being raised by the giants（巨头）that deal in data, the oil of the digital age. The most valuable firms are Google,Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft. All look unstoppable. Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up. But size alone is not a crime. The giants' success has benefited consumers. Few want to live without search engines or a quick delivery. Far from charging consumers high prices, many of these services are free (users pay, in effect, by handing over yet more data). And the appearance of new-born giants suggests that newcomers can make waves, too. But there is cause for concern. The internet has made data abundant, all-present and far more valuable, changing the nature of data and competition. Google initially used the data collected from users to target advertising better. But recently it has discovered that data can be turned into new services: translation and visual recognition, to be sold to other companies. Internet companies’ control of data gives them enormous power. So they have a “God’s eye view” of activities in their own markets and beyond. This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less useful. Breaking up firms like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 A To American visitors, Iceland is a very interesting country, partly because it is different in so many ways from what he or she is used to seeing at home. There are quite a few things that are not done, or that do not exist on the island —quite a few "No's". There is no pollution, for instance. No dogs are permitted in Reykjavik, the capital. There is no television on Thursdays or during the entire month of July, and only three hours of black-and-white TV the rest of the time. There is no hard liquor on Wednesdays and no beer at any time. There are no handguns; only one jail of thirty-five cells in the entire land —an admirable figure, even for a small country of 313,376 people. There is no army, air force or navy. There is no tipping for anything. There are no large stores open on Saturdays or Sundays. Since Iceland is situated just under the Arctic Circle, there is no darkness in summer and no daylight in winter. But thanks to Gulf Stream, the climate is rather mild, with temperatures ranging from 34 degrees Fahrenheit to 52 degrees in July. The rules on television, liquor, and guns are the result of governmental decision. But the absence of pollution is due in great part to the fact that Iceland gets its power from the enormous geyser(间歇泉and the thousands of hot springs that come out of the ground. They provide all the energy needed by the country. In fact, Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available power. Iceland has been described as a democratic independent country where more fish are caught and more books published per person than anywhere else in the world. The Icelanders have always felt a particular love for literature. They composed their first works in the ninth and tenth centuries AD. These works were poems and tales about the kings, heroes, and heroines of Iceland and Norway. At first the stories were memorized
