a. to predict a heavy rain. b. to check the weather forecast. c. to protect people from the rain. d. to remind people to take an umbrella.25、what do we know from belyaevs words in paragraph 2? a. his creation was inspired by an experience. b. it rains a lot in the city of saint petersburg. c. street lamps are protected by canopies. d. he enjoyed taking walks in the rain.26、what does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella? a. its moving speed. b. its appearance. c. its installation. d. its safety.27、what can be inferred from the last paragraph? a. the designer will open a company to promote his product. b. the lampbrella could be put into immediate production. c. the designer is confident that his creation is practical. d. the lampbrella would be put on show in moscow.cnow a group of scientists, including ones from caltech, mit and the ligo scientific collaboration finally found the gravitational waves(引力波). they announced they were able to see ripples(波纹) in the structure of spacetime.what are these gravitational waves? well, imagine throwing a rock into a pond. when the rock hits the flat surface of the water, it creates ripples. spacetime is like the surface of the water. so gravitational waves are like the ripples moving out from where the rock hits the water.it was einstein who said these gravitational waves should be observable. but these are not huge waves. they are smaller than the size of an atom, which is why it took so long to find them.since 2002, scientists have been watching for these gravitational waves, using a giant scientific tool called ligo. they have been watching two black holes in another galaxy (星系) faraway. the two were spinning around each other, moving closer and closer together. when they finally crashed into each other, gravitational waves were caused. with great power and force, they rang throughout the universe, like a giant bell. those waves, traveling at the speed of light, finally reached the earth, some 1.3 billion years later.the national science foundation said that each of the black holes was 29 to 36 times the mass of our sun.this discovery means our understanding of the heavens has changed greatly.28、the author explains the gravitational waves by . a presenting recent research findings b. drawing a vivid picture c. comparing them to something familiar d. using proper examples29、according to the author, finding the gravitational waves means . a. there is a better way to deal with physics problems b. we have a better understanding of the universe c. we have reached a new level in earth studies d. there exists another galaxy in the universe30、what does the word they in paragraph 4 refer to? a. the black holes. b. the gravitational waves. c. the scientific tools. d. the galaxies.31、this passage mainly talks about . a. a new theory of gravitational waves opposite to einsteins b. a description of the scientific research on black holes c. the relationship between black holes and gravitational waves d. the discovery of gravitational waves einstein believed observabledthousands of taxi drivers in shenyang,liaoning province, reportedly blocked streets with their vehicles on sunday in protest against unlicensed vehicles using taxi-hiring apps(打车软件) and apps-based car rental companies providing passengers service,including high-end cars. although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy by the government, their main complaint was the loss of business because of the rising number of internet-based car services companies.on wednesday, news reports came that beijing transport authorities will take measures to stop the illegal taxi business of private cars through the newly rising internet apps, following the footsteps of shenyang and nanjing.it is not yet clear how the shenyang city government will handle the issue and whether it will declare the services offered by market leaders such as didi dache, a taxi-hiring app provider backed by tencent holdings,and kuaidi dache illegal. but shanghai transport regulators have set a rule, by banning didi zhuanche, or car services offered by didi dache in december.such regulations will cause a setback to the car-hiring companies and investors that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming business. just last month, didi dache got $ 700 million in funding from global investors, including singapore state investment company temasek holdings, russian investment company dst global and tencent. besides, the market is uncertain that kuaidi dache is about to finalize its latest round of funding after getting $ 800 million from global investors.regulatory uncertainties, however, could cast a shadow on the future of the internet-based car-hiring services,which have become popular in most of chinas big cities. to be fair, these companies business model is anything but bad. for example, didi zhuanche works side by side with established car rental companies to provide high-end car service mainly for business people through the internet and mobile phone apps. every link in this business model chain has legal companies and services. hence, it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it.32、 why did taxi drivers in shenyang block the streets with their vehicles? a. because they wanted the government to increase their driving allowances. b. because they wanted to be educated how to use the taxi-hiring apps. c. because they wanted to make their main complaints known to the government. d. because they wanted to call on passengers not to hire the private cars.33、the authors attitude to banning internet car-hiring service is . a. positive b. negative c. neutral d. unclear34、which of the following statements is not true according to the passage.? a. the problem mentioned in the passage exists in all cities. b. app-based car rental is helpful in some sense. c. the government should regulate the app-based car rental market. d. didi dache is a china-foreign joint company.35、from the passage we learn . a. shenyang banned apps-based car rental companies b. shanghai is the second city banning didi zhuanche c. some international investment companies have faith in the future of apps-based car rental companiesd. it is easy to describe the apps-based car rental companies illegal第2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。investing in yourselffiguring out how to invest your money can be a difficult task. this is something that you will want to learn how to do. 36 things that will improve your knowledge, skills or health are all great investments. however, before you start, you need to be clear about what you will gain out of doing all of these things.you may think investing in yourself means investing in your education. 37 there are some other things you can do as well as buying a gym membership or learning a new skill.so what are some specific things you can do?
