new home in virginia. i hadnt been paying attention, and i had driven a few miles an hour over the speed limit.“can i see your license and registration?” the police officer asked me. i pulled both out for him, and he saw my pittsburgh address on my pennsylvania drivers license.“what are you doing here?” he asked. “are you with the army?”“no, im not.” i answered. i explained that i had just moved to virginia, and i hadnt had time to re-register yet.“so what brings you here?”he had asked a direct question. without thinking very hard, i gave him a direct answer. “well, officer,” i said, “since youve asked, i have cancer. i have just months to live. weve moved down here to be close to my wifes family.”“so youve got cancer,” he said flatly. he was trying to figure me out. was i really dying? was i lying? he took a long look at me. “you know, for a guy who has only a few months to live, you sure look good.”he was obviously thinking: “either this guy is pulling one big fat line on me, or hes telling the truth.” he was trying to question my honesty without directly calling me a liar. and so he had forced me to prove that i was being honest.“well, officer, i know that i look pretty healthy. i look great on the outside, but the tumors are on the inside.” and then, i dont know what possessed me, but i just did it. i pulled up my shirt, showing the operational scars.he looked at my scars. he looked in my eyes. he now knew he was talking to a dying man. well, he wasnt taking this any further. he handed me back my license. “do me a favor.” he said, “slow down from now on.”the awful truth had set me free. as he went back to his police car, i had a realization. i had been one of those gorgeous blondes (金发美女) who could bat her eyelashes and get out of tickets. i drove home under the speed limit, and i was smiling like a beauty queen.25the author was stopped by the police officer because _.a. he didnt have a licenseb. he forgot to re-registerc. he drove too fastd. he was seriously ill26 the author moved to virginia probably because _.a. he was homesickb. his family could be better cared forc. virginia had better hospitalsd. he served in the army there27 on hearing

author was _.a. adventurous b. optimisticc. dishonest d. romantic“cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. gifts are easy theyre given after all. choices can be hard.” jeff bezos.i got the idea to start amazon 16 years ago. i came across the fact that the internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. id never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. i had just turned 30 years old, and id been married for a year. i told my wife mackenzie that i wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldnt work since most start-ups dont, and i wasnt sure what to expect. mackenzie told me i should go for it. as a young boy, id been a garage inventor. id always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.i was working at a financial firm in new york city with a bunch of very smart people, and i had a brilliant boss that i much admired. i went to my boss and told him i wanted to start a company selling books on the internet. he took me on a long walk in central park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “that sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didnt already have a good job.” that logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately, i decided i had to give it a shot. i didnt think id regret trying and failing. and i suspected i would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.after much consideration, i took the less safe path to follow my passion, and im proud of that choice. for all of us, in the end, we are our choices.29what inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?a. the greatly increasing usage of the internet.b. the support of his wife.c. his dream of being an inventor.d. millions of exciting titles.30we can know from the passage that _.a. the boss thought the idea was suitable for the authorb. the author might not regret if he failed the ideac. the author wanted

we are what we choosed. following my passiona machine that takes sweat-laden (浸满汗水的) clothes and turns the sweat into drinking water is in use in sweden. the machine makes the clothes turn round quickly, heats them to remove the sweat, and then passes the steam through a kind of special material to make purified water.since it has been brought into use, its creators say more than 1000 people have drunk others “sweat” in gothenburg. they add the liquid is cleaner than local tap water.the device was built for the united nations child-focused charity unicef to promote a campaign highlighting the fact that 780 million people in the world lack access to clean water.the machine was designed and built by the engineer andreas hammar, known locally for his appearances on tv tech show “mekatronik”. he said the key part of the sweat machine was a new water purification part developed by a company named hvr.“it uses a technique called membrane distillation (膜蒸馏),” he told the bbc. “we use a special kind of material that only lets steam through but keeps bacteria, salts, clothing fibers and other things out. they have something similar to the international space station, but our machine is cheaper to build. the amount of water it produces depends on how sweaty the person is, but one persons t-shirt typically produces 10ml, about a mouthful.”the device has been put on show at the gothia cup-the worlds largest international youth football tournament. mattias ronge, chief executive of stockholm-based advertising agency deportivo, said the machine had helped raise awareness for unicef, but in reality had its limitations.“people havent produced as much sweat as we hoped right now the weather in gothenburg is lousy,” mattias ronge said. “so weve equipped the machine with exercise bikes and volunteers are cycling like crazy. even so, the demand for sweat is greater than the supply. and the machine will never be produced in large numbers, since there are better solutions out there such as water purifying pills.”32which of the following is the disadvantage of the sweat machine?a. it takes too long for the machine to produce water.b. the amount of water the machine produces is rather limited.c. it costs a large amount of money to build the machine.d. the water processed by the machine is not clean enough.33unicef is mentioned in the text to _.a. show how the sweat machine worksb. explain why the sweat machine was inventedc. show the importance of the united nationsd. tell us who invented the sweat machine34what did mattias ronge think of the sweat machine?a. it could only be used in summer.b. it did not work at all.c. it was not worth popularizing.d. the water it produced tasted sweet.35the text is written mainly to tell us that _.a. a machine which turns sweat into drinking water is inventedb. 780 million people in the world lack access to clean waterc. a better solution to purifying dirty water is discoveredd. the pill which turns dirty water into clean water is produced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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。business is the organized approach to providing customers with the goods and services they
