AOne of the most important creations of science is the invention of the lighthouses. Lighthouses help in a number of activities such as marking of the dangerous coastlines and directing safe entries to the harbours. The following are some famous lighthouses.The Jeddah LightIt is located in Saudi Arabia. This lighthouse has been constructed very beautifully and adorns a beautiful structure. The Jeddah Light was built in 1990. This lighthouse is considered as the tallest of the world reaching a fine height of around 436 feet.The Les Eclaireurs LighthouseIt is addressed as the “lighthouse at the end of the world”. The Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse is located on a sma ll island east of Ushuaia, the southernmost city of the world. This lighthouse was built in 1920 and today it has become a very famous tourist attraction in Argentina. However, visits to this lighthouse can be made only by boat.The Peggys Point LighthouseLit in 1915, it is an icon and a popular monument of Canada. The Peggys Point Lighthouse has become a major tourist sight and is considered as one of the busiest attractions in the area of Nova Scotia. This lighthouse also fetches you a wonderful scenic drive and visiting here, you can indulge yourself in the beauty of nature.The Slettnes LighthouseIt is the northernmost lighthouse that is located on the mainland of Europe and is considered as one of the most famous lighthouses of the world. This lighthouse is mostly considered as the North Cape Light and is the top lighthouse of Europe. The Slettnes Lighthouse firstly began to light in 1905. Though it was highly damaged during the World War Ⅱ by the Germans, yet it was restored and lit again. This lighthouse is very classic as to its looks.1. Which lighthouse is only accessible by sea?A.

Where is the text most probably taken from?A. A scientific journal.B. A history textbook.C. A travel magazine.D. A design handbook.【答案】1. B 2. A 3. CBI was out for my usual morning run and found myself in the late-summer heat, wishing I had taken a water bottle, stopped under a bridge for a moment of shade, I saw two young, scruffy men standing next to their sleeping bags. One smiled and gently raised his hand as if motioning “hello” but didn't say a word. He wasn't asking for anything. I smiled and made the same motion back to him.As I started back on my run, I thought about how much we all crave connection. In that moment, this homeless man seemed to want to connect more than he wanted food or money. We have all had experiences of feeling separate and lonely. I have felt lonely being in a relationship that was void of emotional connection. Feeling separation doesn't have anything to do with being alone. Being with people is about the human desire to feel connected by being seen and valued by another person. If your tendency is to spend time alone, practice saying yes to invitations. Practice moving towards rather than away from people.We all benefit from connection. That homeless man impacted my day. After encountering him, I felt more grateful—appreciating all that I have. He triggered my compassion—I found myself feeling empathy（同情）for him.I had the choice to move towards separation or connection. Were there many ways in which he and I are very different? Absolutely! Are there many ways in which we are alike? Absolutely! I can reflect on times in my life that like him, I was in a situation I had never expected, times that I felt broken, times that I felt at a low point. And as he may have been feeling this morning, times when I needed someone to stop and acknowledge me.4. Why did the author stop under a bridge?A. To greet two homeless people.B. To take a break.C. To get a water bottle.D. To ask for help.5. What does the underlined word “crave” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Praise.B. Describe.C. Have a desire for.D. Develop a dislike in.6. Which word can describe the author's feeling after meeting the homeless people?A. Sorrowful.B. Relieved.C. Embarrassed.D. Thankful.7. What is the best tide of the passage?A. Connection! We Need It!B. Homeless People Need CareC. A Meaningful DayD. Ask for Separation【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. ACWe often purchase food that's been mass-produced and that’s travelled many miles before it ends up on our plate. So for some, growing their own food is a better option — and it tastes good too!From growing vegetables in little pots on your balcony to tending to a small plot of land, called allotments, there are many ways to produce home-grown food. Allotments are a typically British idea, and they give people with a small or no garden, a space to plant and care for fruit and vegetables. It can be backbreaking work digging, weeding and watering the soil, but the result is fresh and organically grown produce.The recent COVID-19 pandemic lockdown means demand for allotments has seen a renaissance (复兴). Miriam from the University of Sheffield told the BBC that people with allotments have been spending a lot of their time on their plots, growing plenty of fresh fruit and veg — which, at times, have been challenging to source in supermarkets. She says “Coronavirus has... highlighted to people the fragility (脆弱) within our globalized food system. In a time of crisis, interest in self-sufficiency rises.”But for those with limited space, a solution to grow your own veg lies closer to home-using pots. Once you can lay your hands on some compost (堆肥), you can plant seeds. Sheila Brand lives in a third-floor flat. She has managed to grow tomatoes and aubergines and is already harvesting raspberries. She said excitedly: “Oh it’s got a new leaf!”As well as the benefits of saving money and enjoying tasty food, gardener Mark says “growing your own from a balcony or window ledge not only improves your wellbeing and immediate environment, you can actually grow a lot of veg.” So, maybe it’s time for us all to get planting and develop our green fingers!8. What is the characteristic of allotments?A. Mass-produced.B. Organically grown.C. Typically American.D. Only growing vegetables.9. What is the reason for a renewed interest in allotments?A. The outbreak of coronavirus.B. The challenge from supermarkets.C. Globalized food system.D. The rise of self-confidence.10. Sheila Brand is mentioned to .A. attract more readers to read the passageB. offer a clear idea of the text structureC. call on more people to stay at homeD. serve as an example of problem solving11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. It is very economical to buy food from the supermarket.B. There are many advantages of growing your own food.C. Planting can make our green fingers green and tender.D. If you want to have delicious food, you must grow on your own.【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. BDFor sports fans, there's nothing better than watching a live event on TV or at a sports venue（场地）. But there's nothing worse than that event being called off because of bad weather. Bad light, a waterlogged pitch （场地）or excessive heat can cause matches to be postponed. But according to the latest research, extreme weather might be disrupting （打乱）the sporting calendar more than ever in the future.In one sport, golf, major tournaments like The Open, are already predicted to be victims of our changing climate. In the UK, an organization called The Climate Coalition says that golf courses such as St Andrews could be under water by the end of the century if sea levels rise even slightly. It told the BBC that its research predicts u cancelled football matches, flooded cricket grounds and golf courses crumbling into the sea.”The threat to sporting fixtures （体育赛事）from climate change has been further highlighted in a new report, commissioned by the Rapid Transit ion Alliance. Writing about this for the BBC, Matt McGrath says that ”By 2050, it's estimated that almost one in four English football league grounds can expect flooding every year." This will mean fewer matches played, less opportunity to watch the beautiful game and reduced revenue （收入）from ticket sales.Cricket also faces huge challenges globally as temperatures rise in places like India, Australia and the West Indies. The report says that stadiums in Adelaide and Perth will see a 60% increase in days with temperatures over 40°C over the next decade.Of course, we know that the solution lies with reducing our carbon footprint. We could travel less to attend sportsevents, and reduce our waste when we do go. But this latest report finds that sports leaders are generally failing to address the issue seriously. However, because sport is universally popular and can be very influential, maybe it should be players, teams and their sponsors who promote a carbon-neutral message to help protect sporting venues - before it's ‘ game over’.12. According to the passage, the following sports will be affected by extreme weather exceptA. golfB. table tennisC. footballD. cricket13. Why might revenue from football league tickets be reduced by 2050?A. The number of people who are interested in football matches is expected to decrease.B. The number of football players is expected to decrease.C. The prices of football tickets are expected to go down.D. Some football grounds are expected to be flooded.14. What can we learn from the passage?A. Sports fans like watching a live event on TV better than at a sports venue.B. Golf courses such as St Andrews could not be flooded if sea levels rise a little.C. Cricket stadiums in Adelaide and Perth will get very hot over the next decade.D. Sports leaders take the effects of climate change very seriously.15. What's the best title for the passage?A. Sport and Sporting V enues.B. Sport and Challenges.C. Sport and Climate Change.D. Sport and Revenue.【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. C第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

Twenty-year-old bills and receipts were thrown in the trash.Piles of papers were no longer necessary or needed.Broken bowls,dented pans,and cracked knickknacks were finally thrown away.Unworn clothes were taken out of the closet and packed to be given away to the local charity.Old books were boxed up to be passed on for others to read and enjoy.It took several days to get it all done,but in the end I was able to walk through a home that seemed a little less messed.My heart was a lot lighter too.It felt so good to be able to get rid of all the junk and to just focus on the essential stuff in life again.What is the essential stuff？What is the stuff that bring meaning to our day？A loving heart isessential.A joyful spirit is essential.A soul full of goodness and God is essential.And a life full of sharing all of these things is absolutely essential.The essential stuff can't be bought,sold,or stored.It can only be chosen,created,and given away.The essential stuff is the stuff we all really want.It is the stuff we all really need.4.Which word can describe the author's feeling towards accumulated stuff？______A.

By presenting causes.C. By providing examples.D. By following time order.11.What is the author's prediction about AI？______A. It will kill all human beings in the future.B. Our world will be kept under control by AI.C. Human beings do not need AI in the near future.D. Our life will become totally automatically convenient with AI.DTraditional wisdom says that if you want to be richer,a useful thing to do is get married.Life is cheaper when only one mortgage（贷款）to pay and someone else can do certain tasks-cooking or car repair more efficiently than you.The research by Ohio State University's Zagorsky shows the married increase their wealth an average 16% a year,while those who are single increase their net worth at half that rate.Yet the economic benefit of marriage isn't what it used to be.In a book,ChangingPoverty,Changing Policies,a social scientist show that the marriage premium（附加值）hasfallen.Cancian,a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison,set out to study how the changing make-up of American families has affected the number of people below the poverty line.Considering how the rate of marriage has fallen and the rate of divorce has risen,the researcher expected the number of people with their born younger generation living below the poverty line to grow by 2.6%.But when he looked at the data,poverty had increased by less than half that amount.Why？Because single women,even those with kids,have an easier time supporting themselves outside of marriage than they used to.More women are working,increasingly for wages that are competitive with those of men.Women are having children later in life,and fewer ofthem.Besides,a growing percentage of women who have children but aren't married don't live on their own.In 1970，62% of single mothers were the only adult in their household,but by 2019，just 55% are living without another means of support-thanks to more women living together with a male partner or grandparent.That's not to say marriage doesn't coincide with（与一致）economic benefits.A child in a single-parent family,for instance,is five times as likely to live below the poverty line.What Cancian tries to illustrate,though,is that marriage wouldn't necessarily produce morewealth.Marrying someone who is unemployed for a long time might very well not be an economic increase.12.According to paragraph 1，what's the benefit of getting married？______A. The wealth of the married people increased more.B. One could leave the housework to the other.C. The couple could own more than one house.D. The couple would become the rich people.13.Paragraph 3 is centered on ______ .A. women do not want to have children or just fewer of them.B. more women are working and can make more money than men.C. single women meet fewer challenges to feed themselves than before.D. single mothers now enjoy living with a male partner or grandparents.14.According to Cancian,what produces more wealth in marriage？______A. One of the marriage partners must have strong economic background.B. The couples are not trapped in unemployment for a long time.C. The men who support the families have a good salary.D. The women can earn much more than their partners.15.What is the purpose of the text？______A. To give information about marriage and wealth.B. To suggest a new method of building more wealth.C. To compare married persons with single ones.D. To persuade people to get married.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）How to get energetic after working hoursAfter a long workday,all you want to do is go home,sit on the couch and turn on the TV.So you've planned to go to the gym after work？"I'll go tomorrow,I promise." (1) .Here are some tips for getting yourself to hit the gym after a tiresome workday,offered by Women's Health magazine：(2) .Why not change the "Ker-calm and carry on" poster to some inspirational shape messages around' your workplace？If you think "No pains,no gains" is too ordinary,how about "And though she may be but little,she is fierce."？When your colleagues ask about it,tell them the quote is from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.Eat breakfast.Even though it's hours before your trip to the gym,having a balanced breakfast will keep you energized throughout the rest of the day.

To my horror, I could only fit into a size 20.Being overweight most of my adult life, I always had very little self-confidence. Wearing a dress I didn’t like to such an important event was enough to make me look for help. Thankfully, a friend of mine was attending Weight Watchers meetings, and I noticed her great progress. Her success inspired me to give it a try. I joined Weight Watchers, attended their meetings and started following their Weight-Loss System.I focused on the plan with determination and never missed a weekly meeting! I discovered that I enjoyed the benefits of having the help and support of others. I also read the weekly online e-newsletter and was inspired by the stories, recipes and information offered there, I also read magazines produced by Weight Watchers, which have great tips and new ideas in each issue.It’s hard for me to even remember the person I was before my amazing change. I didn’t walk anywhere and couldn’t wash my car or walk my dog. Today I do these simple tasks without even thinking about them. But the change didn’t happen overnight. I had to exercise with patience and perseverance (坚持）. I decided to take it one day at a time and stick with if for good.The “new me” is more self-confident and healthier. I love how I feel now.I have more energy and feel like I’m 25 again. So why not give Weight Watchers a try if you have the same overweight problem?4. The underlined word “inspired” in the second paragraph can be replaced byA. excitedB. movedC. encouragedD. forced5. We can learn from the passage that the writer .A. often went shopping before she lost weightB. was overweight when she was a childC. ever wanted to give up losing weightD. now is more confident than before6. This passage is written to .A. tell us how to gain self-confidenceB. show off the great progress that the author has madeC. give us some tips on how to lose weight quicklyD. advise overweight people to give Weight Watchers a try7. Which of the following word will you use to describe the writer?A. Weak.B. Calm.C. Patient.D. Silent.CPeople who often eat nuts appear to live longer, according to the latest study of its kind. The findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggested the greatest benefit was in those eating them on their daily diet.Eating nuts was linked to a healthier lifestyle including being less likely to smoke or be overweight and more likely to exercise. The British Heart Foundation said more research was needed to prove the link, “While this is an interesting link, we need further research to make sure if it's the nuts that protect heart health, or other sides of people’s lifestyle .”The study followed nearly 120,000 people for 30 years. The more regularly people ate nuts, the less likely they were to die during the study. People eating nuts once a week were 11% less likely to have died during the study than those who never ate nuts. Lead researcher Dr. Charles Fuchs, from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, said, “The most obvious benefit was a decrease of 29%in deaths from heart disease, but we also saw a significant reduction-11%-in the danger of dying from cancer.”They suggest nuts are lowering cholesterol(胆固醇). and insulin resistance(胰岛素抗性). Nuts contain unsaturated fat(不饱和脂肪), protein(蛋白质) and several kinds of vitamins and minerals and they can take the place of snacks like chocolate bars, cakes and biscuits.Victoria Taylor, senior expert at the British Heart Foundation, said, “This study shows close connection between regularly eating a small handful of nuts and a lower risk of death from heart disease.” Choosing plain, unsalted foods rather than sweet, salted, or chocolate-covered will keep your salt and sugar intake down.8. According to the passage, what kind of people benefit most form eating nuts?A. Those who eat most nuts at a time.B. Those who eat most nuts.C. Those who eat nuts on their daily diet.D. Those who eat less nuts.9. Which kind of disease had a most decrease for regular nuts eater?A. CancerB. Heart diseaseC. Stomach diseaseD. Unknown10. The writer developed the article mainly by .A. providing factsB. giving exampleC. listing dataD. comparing the difference11. Which section should the passage be taken from the newspaper?A. Science sectionB. Health sectionC. Entertainment sectionD. Tech sectionDOn the third Sunday in June, Americans take time to recognize and thank a special person in the family -fathers! Father’s Day celebrates the importance of fathers, young and old and the men thought of as father figures.The words "the child is father of the man" come from William Wordsworth’s poem My Heart Leaps Up. "It means people’s personalities form when they are children. They will most likely have the same qualities as an adult that they had as a child.Used in everyday speech, one could say, "In his case, the child was father of the man; he loved nature as a child and now works as a botanist(植物学家)".Let’s say you want to tell a child a story about something that happened long before they were born. You could say it happened when they “were just a twinkle in their father's eyes.” This expression has a humorous and dreamy feel. Here, the word “twinkle” suggests the interest your father had in your mother.When a much older man is interested in a much younger woman and supports her with his money, he is called he “sugar daddy.” The money part is very important-that's the sugar.Sometimes fathers are not a good influence or active in the lives of the children. In that case, a person may look for a father figure, a man who is not actually the person's father but who acts like one.The relationship between a man and his son can be complex. But the relationship between a father and daughter is often simpler. The expression “daddy’s little girl” is understood to mean that, in a father’s eyes, his daughter can do no wrong.There is usually not a dry eye at any wedding during the traditional father-and-daughter dance, especially if they are dancing to a song like Michael Buble’s “Daddy's Little Girl.”12. If a boy behaves just like his father, we can say .A. he is just a twinkle in his father’s eyesB. he is his sugar daddyC. like father, like sonD. the child is father of the man13. What do you know about “the child is father of the man”?A. A child is often spoiled by his father.B. People’s characters are formed when young.C. A boy will become a father when growing up.D. A child always shows his true nature.14. According to the passage, the song Daddy’s Little Girl is likely to beA. movingB. SorrowfulC. CrazyD. funny15. The author writes the passage mainly to .A. introduce the origin of Father’s DayB. show a boy should respect his fatherC. explain the importance of fathersD. tell people several expressions about father.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

高二上期末英语试卷题号I II III IV V总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共15 小题，共30.0 分）AIf you were to walk up to Arthur Bonner and say,“ Hey, Butterfly Man,” his face would break into a smile. The title suits him. And he loves it.Arthur Bonner works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly, once thought to have died out. Today the butterfly is coming back — thanks to him. But years ago if you ’ d told him this was what he’d be doing someday, he would have laughed, “ You ’ re crazy.” As a boy, he used to be “a little tough guy on the streets ” . At age thirteen, he was caught by police for stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man.“ I knew it had hurt my mom, ” Bonner said after he got out of prison. “ So I told myself Iwould not put my mom through that pain again. ”One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat ( 栖息地 ) for an endangered butterfly called El Segundo blue.“ I saw the sign ‘ Butterfly Habitat ’ and asked, ‘ How can you have a habitat when thebutterflies can just fly away? ’” Bonner recalls. “ Dr. Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass ( 放大镜 ), ‘ Look at the leaves. ’ I could see all these caterpillars ( 蝴蝶的幼虫 ) on the plant. Dr Mattoni explained, ‘ Without the plant, there are no butterflies. ’”Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly that needed help. That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue. Since then he’ s been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back. He grows astragalus, the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.The butterfly ’ s population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr. Mattoni received lots of awards. But for Bonner, he earned something more: he turned his life around.For six years now Bonner has kept his promise to stay out of prison. While he ’ s bringing back the Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.1.When he was young, Arthur Bonner ___.A.broke the law and ended up in prisonB.was fond of shooting and hurt his momC.often laughed at people on the streetsD.often caught butterflies and took them home2.Bonner came to know the Palos Verdes blue after he ___.A.found the butterfly had died outB.won many prizes from his professorC.met Dr. Mattoni, a professor of biologyD.collected butterflies and put them into a lab3.From the last sentence of the text, we learn that raising butterflies has ___.A. made Bonner famousB. changed Bonner’s lifeC. brought Bonner wealthD. enriched Bonner’s knowledge4.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.A Promise to Mom C. A Story of ButterfliesB.D.A Man Saved by Butterflies AJob Offered by Dr. Mattoni BFar from the land of Antarctica, a huge shelf of ice meets the ocean. At the underside ofthe shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod.For forty years scientists have been curious about that fish. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death? It must have some secret. The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slow. Now it seems we have an answer.Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. Scientists studiedthe fish ’ s blood and measured its freezing point.The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of -1.88 C and many tiny pieces°of ice floating in it. The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature waslowered to -2.05 C.°That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture.The scientists ’ next research job was clear: Find out what in the fish ’ s blood kept it from freezing. Their search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein never before seenin the blood of a fish. When it was removed, the blood froze at seawater temperature. When it was put back, the blood again had its antifreeze quality and a lowered freezing point.Study showed that it is an unusual kind of protein. It has many small sugar molecules ( 分子 ) held in special positions within each big protein molecule. Because of its sugar content, it is called a glycoprotein. So it has come to be called the antifreeze fish glycoprotein, or AFGP.5.Why can the Antarctic cod live at the freezing temperature?A. The seawater has a temperature of -1.88 C。

It was a photo of a review of Danielle s recent photography exhibit. The review was positive, but also critical. That’s why Danielle posted it. She was proud of h er work, no matter what her critics thought.I was shocked by the post- -- it was one of the most honest things I've ever seen on social media! Usually when I scroll (滚读) through Facebook or Instagram, everything I see is perfect. Perfect vacations, perfec t babies, perfect birthday cakes…I' m guilty of it too. I only post photos of happy stuff. If someone saw my Instagram, they’d probably think, “Wow, this girl doesn’t have a care in the world.... and also she must really, really love ice cream.”Danielle s post didn’t show a perfect world. And yet that didn’t make me think less of her. Quite the opposite, I respected her even more as an artist. That got me thinking. Maybe social media could be more meaningful if we showed off our mistakes or our struggles. And not a world where everything’s perfect, ice cream never melts and the lighting s always just right.I’m going to try it out. Start with this blog post, which I’ll share on social media. I’ve included a photo here. It’s about a story I worked on for Gu ideposts magazine. See all those cross- outs and rewrites? That’s just the first of five pages of edit after edit from Guideposts editor- in-chief Edward Grinnan.I remember the horrible day it happened like it was yesterday. I admit that I wept some tears over it. I considered giving up writing for a career.

For the first time on record, living with parents is now the most common choice for millennials (bon from the early 1980s to late 1990s), a study by the Pew Research Center has found. And the percentage of older millennials those aged 25 to 34 who are living at home has reached its highest point (19 percent) on record, Pew analysts said.Nearly one-third of all millennials live with their parents, slightly more than the proportion who live with a spouse(配偶). It's the first time that living at home has outpaced living with a spouse for this age group since such record-keeping began in 1880. The remaining young adults are living alone, with other relatives, in college dorms, as roommates or under other circumstances.Jennifer Post, 26, has been living with her parents in Villas, New Jersey, since dropping out of law school two years ago. A law career wasn't a good fit for her, Post decided, and now she's seeking a job in digital media or marketing. Post spends her days on her computer, sending resumes（简历）and refreshing LinkedIn and other job sites. To her parents, it looksas though she's slacking off. "It's definitely a generation gap thing," she said. "I think they literally think I just sit down and watch movies all day."Declining employment is a factor (因素) keeping many 18- to 34-year-olds at home. The share of young people with jobs fell to 71 percent in 2014 from 84 percent in 1960 the year when the percentage of young adults living outside the home reached the highest point. Other factors contributing to more millennials living with parents range from rising apartment rents to heavy student-debt loads to longer periods in college.Casey Marshella moved back in with her parents in Fairfield, Connecticut, after graduating from Boston University last year. Just this week, she moved into an apartment with her sister. Within weeks, she and a friend — who also lives with her parents — expect to find their own place. Because many people her age share the same circumstances, most sympathize with her. Marshella, 22, says. Still their first question is usually, "So when are you planning on moving out?"8．What has Pew found out about young people in the US?A．The percentage of those maxing out is the highest since 1880B．Living at home has become their preferred choice.C．About one-third of them are living aloneD．19% of them are living with a spouse9．What can we learn about Post's parents?A．They want her to live at home.

Electric cars and hybrids now make up less than 3% of new-car purchases, down from years past. Roughly 75% of Americas who traded in a hybrid or an electric car this year took home an all-gas car, an 11-point increase from 2015 At the same time, it's unreasonable to expect drivers to change their habits purely because of a sense of duty to build a better world. Buying a Toyota Camry, for example, would save its owner about $400 yearly in gas spending (vs. a similar-size all-gas vehicle). But it would also cost an extra $3000 in advance. For Americans, that payoff isn't worth the investment.Automakers face this stalemate (僵局)? The government. Thanks to a set of regulations, automakers are required to keep improving their average fuel efficiencies to a certain degree, no matter how oil prices might change.But starting a true green-car revolution will require more than fuel-efficiency standards. One solution, favored by some economists and environmental activists, is an increase in the gas tax, Which hasn't been raised since 1993. Others have suggested taxing carbon emission(排放), so people will rethink how they drive. In Norway, where drivers pay both fees, the electric cars from Tesla Motors have enjoyed a brief period as the country's top-selling vehicle.Indeed, the best approach may well be to create the impossible: an electric car that actually offers more value than its gas-powered competitor. Many are trying, from Tesla to GM, which is releasing an inexpensive all-electric car this year. The future of driving is “not going to be determined by gas prices," says economist Jeff Sachs. “It's going to be determined by technology."12．What change has taken place in the US car market?A．Car purchases have dropped sharplyB．People are beginning to favor all-gas carsC．Electric cars have become the most popularD．Hybrid-electric cars have become more expensive13．What do Americans think of the Toyota Camry hybrid?A．It is a good investmentB．It is perfectly comfortable.C．It has a price disadvantage.D．It will change bad driving habits.14．What can we infer about green cars in Norway?A．They will slow they country's economy.B．They may be a big potential market.C．They will cause an increase in the gas tax.D．They require higher fuel-efficiency standards.15．Which of the following will Jeff Sachs probably agree with?A．There will be more electric cars.B．All-gas cars will be the general trend.C．Gas-powered cars will cost much more.D．Technology will affect driving negatively.二、七选五A gratitude journal is a great way to keep yourself in a positive state of mind.
