AHundreds of spectators cheered them on at the North American Wife Carrying Championship. The annual event, in its 15th year, was held at the base of a grassy ski mountain at the Sunday River Resort in Maine.“The people in Finland put together this event because they felt there should be at least one news story in the year that makes people laugh,” said competitor John Lund, who spent four years in Finland, the birthplace of wife carrying as a modern sport.The competition began there in the 1990s and was inspired loosely by the legend of a 19th-century outlaw who tested the mettle (毅力) of his gang of robbers by having them run an obstacle course with a woman on their backs.The sport has since gained enthusiasts around the world. The event on Saturday in Maine was one of several officially qualifying competitions for international championships in Finland, with the others held in Australia, Sweden and Estonia.Nearly every team employed the “Estonian carry”, in which the woman hangs the head down with her legs hooked around the man’s neck and her arms around his waist, which frees his hands. Despite the competition’s name, the couple does not need to be married.The winners on Saturday were Jesse Wall, a gym owner, and his friend Christina Arsenault. Under the rules of the game, they won Arsenault’s weight in beer and five times the n umerical value of her weight in cash. Asked what he planned to do with the 10 cases of beer, Wall looked around and said, “Share them with everyone here. ”21.What does the writer want to tell us?A. The wife carrying sport was originally held in Australia.B. The annual event in Maine has been around for 15 years.C. People had to use the “Estonian carry” in the championship.D. People had to get married to take part in the championship.22.Why did the Finnish invent the event?A. To make an amusing news story.B. To attract more travelers to Finland.C. To test people’s courage and patience.D. To make people join in outdoor activities.23.Which of the following countries is the officially qualifying competition not held in?A. Finland.B. Australia.C. Sweden.D. Spain.BCold, snowy weather has arrived in many places. That means young people are enjoying building snowmen, going snowboarding and having snowball fights.But in one small American city, children can’t play with snow to the fullest. The town of Severance, north of Denver, gets about 100 centimeters of snowfall a year. For almost 100 years, city rules have said it is forbidden to throw or shoot stones or missiles at people, animals, buildings, trees or vehicles. Snowballs were considered to be part of the town’s definition (定义) of “missiles”.Kyle Rietkerk works for the town of Severance. He said children cannot believe it and that town leaders have for years told the children, “ You have the power. You can change the law. ” Bu t no one has tried—until now. Nine-year-old Dane Best lives in Severance with his parents and little brother. He has made it his goal to get the snowball fight ban overturned(推翻). Dane said he believes the law is “outdated”. “I want to be able to throw a snowball without getting in trouble, and I really expect to hit my brother with a snowball,” he said.Dane’s mother, Brooke Best, told a newspaper that her son found out it was illegal to throw snowballs within town limits about a month and a half ago. Since then, he has been talking about how to change that. Dane wrote letters with his classmates in support of overturning the ban. And on Monday, he spoke about the problem at a Severance town meeting. Leaders listened as Dane presented his arguments and all voted for him. Then, Dane threw the first legal snowball in the parking lot of the Town Hall.Dane said, “My parents and I have researched other Severance rules, including one that defines pets only as cats and dogs. And I have a guinea pig, which appears to be illegal in Severance, too. But I believe that will be different soon.”24.What did the Severance rules say?A. Children’s snow games are banned.B. Snowball fights are against the law.C. People making snowmen will be punished.D. Throwing things are considered dangerous.25.What does the author indicate in paragraph 3?A. Town leaders are willing to change the ban.B. Dane overturns the ban for his little brother.C. Dane once was punished for throwing snowballs.D. Many children tried to change the ban but failed.26.What might Dane do in the future?A. Having a cat or dog as his pet.B. Taking action to chage the pet rule.C. Correcting the concept of guinea pigs.D. Researching Severance rules with his parents.27.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Snow Games Mean a lot to ChildrenB. Severance Laws Need to Be OverturnedC. Children are Encouraged to Change TownD. A boy Asks Town to Lift Snowball Fight BanCAlmost a third of new cars sold in Norway last year were pure electric, a new world record as the country strives to end sales of fossil-fueled vehicles by 2025. In a bid to cut carbon emissions and air pollution, Norway frees battery-driven cars from most taxes and offers benefits such as free parking and charging points to speed up a shift from diesel (柴油) and petrol engines.The independent Norwegian Road Federation (NRF) said on Wednesday that electric cars rose to 31.2 percent of all sales last year, from 20.8 percent in 2017 and just 5.5 percent in 2013, while sales of petrol and diesel cars fell sharply.“It was a small step closer to the 2025 goal,” by which time Norway’s parliament wants all new cars to be emissions-free, Oeyvind Solberg Thorsen, head of the NRF, told a conference. Still, he cautioned that there was a long way to go since two-thirds of almost 148,000 cars sold in 2018 in Norway were powered by fossil fuel or were hybrids, which have both battery power and an internal combustion (燃烧) engine.The sales figures strengthen Norway’s global lead in electric car sales per city, part of an attempt by Weste rnEurope’s biggest producer of oil and gas to transform to a greener economy. Nissan’s upgraded Leaf electric car was the top-selling ear in Norway last year, while other top-selling cars overall ranged from small BMWs and V olkswagens to full-size sedans and electric sport vehicles by Tesla.The Institute of Transport Economics (ITE), a consultancy, doubted whether the 2025 goal for emissions-free new cars could be reached. “Strictly speaking, I don’t think it’s possible, primarily because too many people don’t have a private parking space and won’t want to buy a plug-in car if they can’t establish a charging point at home,” ITE economist Lasse Fridstroem said. “We may be able to get to a 75 percent (market share), provided that the tax breaks are maintained,” he added.28. According to the passage, the 2025 goal in Norway is to ________.A. abolish all taxesB. provide free parkingC. advance petrol enginesD. accomplish vehicles’ emissions-free29. Which car brand sold best in Norway last year?A. Nissan.B. BMW.C. V olkswagen.D. Tesla.30. Which of the following statements will Lasse Fridstroem agree with?A. It’s likely to get everyone a new car.B. People need more space to park cars.C. Electric cars will have a bright future.D. A charging point is too difficult to be set up.31. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Norway is advanced in car industry.B. Norway is the world leader in electric car sales.C. Norway is close to realizing the 2025 goal.D. Norway has been transformed into a green country.DThe idea of creating self-repairing machines has been a popular nightmare ever since the 1980s.Reformers are still a long way away from developing robots that can independently repair themselves, but researchers at Carnegie Mellon University say they may be one step closer to creating self-healing machines.In findings published this week in Nature Materials, researchers claim they have created a self-healing material—made up of liquid metal droplets hung in a soft rubber—that can at the same time repair itself after suffering “extreme mechanical damage”.Researchers say their material is known as a “stretchable (有弹性的) electronic”, an evolving technology that combines electronic circuits and sensors (传感器) with actively transformed material.When damaged, droplets hang in the material break, forming new connections with neighboring droplets and rerouting electrical signals without interruption. To show the material’s effectiveness, researchers powered a clock while at the same time damaging the conductive circuitry (电路) using a sharp object.What makes their material even more unique, researchers say, is that it is able to conduct electricity, even when stretched, making it ideal for passing on data or keeping power. If perfected, researchers believe stretchable electronics could have numerous applications: A robotic first responder that can enter two-faced environments without being damaged, wearable computers used by athletes or as a structure on Mars, where temperatures and weather unfit for human put technology at risk.“A robot is very complex and dif ficult to repair. And the soft robots are particularly affected easily by sharp objects and high pressure,” Vanderborght said. “This research is the first step in introducing self-healing materials in soft robotics, which we think will start a whole new research field of self-healing robotics.”32. What is the step closer to make machines repair themselves?A. Having a self-healing material.B. Developing some magical robots.C. Building environmental-friendly machines.D. Publishing a popular idea in Nature Materials.33. Which of the following is the self-mending material?A. Soft robots.B. Conductive circuitry.C. Metal droplets.D. Wearable computers.34. What is special about the self-mending material?A. The electronics’ activity.B. The material’s conductivity.C. The signals’ adaptability.D. The environment’s suitability.35. What does Vanderhorght suggest people do about self-healing robotics?A. Stop using them.B. Take them apart.C. Upgrade them.D. Fight for them.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分)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。
