Actor William Shatner, who is no stranger to futuristic tech, recently purchased two e-bikes for him and his wife. “Ive been shopping for an e-bike now for a few weeks, and Ive had my eye on the folding electric bike. I had folding bikes in the past and love the convenience of being able to throw my bike into my car.”The e-bike market is ready to go mainstream in the U.S. The price for e-bikes has come down greatly in recent months. At one time, most e-bikes with good components and proper weight were in the 3，000 range. Now you can find reasonable quality e-bikes in the 1,000 range. With gas prices at all-time highs, e-bikes are an attractive, low-cost option to gas efficient vehicles.E-bike owners are finding that they are great for commuting to work, as traditional bikes can be a problem with office dress and sweatPeople who use e-bikes range from commuters to casual cyclers who like a little help with hills and wind, to those who decided to save money on buying a motor bikeThese are not for the serious road cycler or professional mountain bikerIf youre considering all e-bike, it pays to do some research first. Cheaper e-bikes are going to be heavier and have less battery powerHigher priced bikes will be made from lighter materials and have better batteriesAnother consideration is local motor vehicle laws. For example，according to US federal law，as long as your electric bike is under 750 watts and does not go over 20 MPH then it is a bicycle and not a motor vehicle. Most consumer e-bikes in the 1,000 range dont fit the motorized vehicle description31. The writer introduces William Shatner as an example in order to_Ashow that he is wild about the future technologyBtell us that he is an agent for the e-bike marketCtell us that actors care only convenience rather than the priceDshow that e-bikes are really becoming popular now32. According to the text，e-bikes are practical for_Aserious road cyclers Bcouples spending a holidayCpeople commuting to work Dprofessional mountain bikers33. Which of the following about e-bikes is true?AThe cheaper e-bikes are usually made of lighter materialsBMost e-bikes in the l，000 range are a bicycle, not a motor vehicleCLocal motor vehicle law doesnt have any limit to e-bikesDE-bikes in the l，000 range are too cheap to have better batteries34. What is the best title for this passage?AE-bike Sales to Shift into Mainstream in 20l3 BE-bikes，the Future Way of Transportation CE-bikes Vs Gas Vehicles DE-bikes，Actors First ChoiceBThe world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few days ago, my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed. The sad truth is, great talent is not enough.I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade told me how many doctors and dentists struggled financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “They are one skill away from great wealth.” There is an old saying that goes, “Job means just over broke（破产）.” And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, and most workers live within their means. They work and they pay the bills. Instead, I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonalds?”， almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonalds makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious:McDonalds is excellent at business systems. The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on making a better hamburger but know little or nothing about business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.35. The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that .A. he is just one of the talented peopleB. he is ready to help others C. he has a sharp sense of hearingD. he knows little about car repairing36. The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by“ ”.A. spend more than they can affordB. do in their own way C. live in their own circleD. live within what they earn37. Why do talented people earn so little according to the author? A. They dont work hard enough.B. They lack financial intelligence.C. They dont make full use of their talents.D. They have no specialized skills.38. The main purpose of the author is to tell us .A. how young people can find a satisfactory job B. what schools should teach studentsC. why so many talented people are poor D. how McDonalds makes much moneyCMy grandfather had a small farm where he raised beef and some grain for feed. He also worked diligently as a factory laborer. He was a good neighbor and well-respected for honoring his word. When harvest time came, hed piece together his old corn picker and oil it up for the season. All his life he worked hard, helped others, and you could count on him to keep his promises.He had promised to harvest corn on a friends farm, but after harvesting his own corn, Grandpas little corn picker coughed and quit. It would be out of commission until a particular part could be ordered, but that would take far too long to help this year. The factory where Grandpa worked began to require overtime. In order to keep his job there he had to leave the farm before dawn and get home until well after sunset. One autumn night, while harvest time was running out, he and his wife sat at the kitchen table and trying to figure a way out of their dilemma (进退两难的境地).“Theres nothing you can do,” said my grandma. “Youll just have to tell him that you cant help with the corn this year.”“Well that just doesnt sit well with me,” said my grandpa. “My friend is depending on me. I cant exactly let my neighbors harvest rot in the field, can I?”“When do you think youd have time to do it?” she asked. “With the overtime youve been working youd be up all night.”“I know of one night that I could do it!” he said, running to the bookshelf. He grabbed the Farmers Almanac(历书) and started flipping through the pages. “Aha! Theres still one more full moon in October.” They say its called the harvest moon because it gives farmers more light and more time to collect their crops.And so days later, after a long shift at the factory, my grandpa made his way to the field where my grandma met him in the truck with dinner. It was cold but clear, and the moon was brilliant. He worked through the night to keep his word.I know this story well, so sometimes, when I attempted to cut corners or to put off responsibilities, I think of my grandfather with his scythe (大镰刀) cutting wide arcs of corn in the light of the harvest moon.39. Which was the main trouble my grandfather had in helping his friend? A. His wife objected to his helping his friend. B. His corn picker ran out of oil.C. His corn picker broke down. D. The weather was not favorable.40. Which of the following can NOT be concluded from the passage?A. My grandfather cared about his work in the factory very much.B. My grandmother supported my grandfathers decision to harvest the friends corn at the full moon night.C. My grandfather must have stayed up all night to help his friend harvest.D. My grandfather didnt manage to help his friend in time.41. What kind of quality in the grandfather had the most influence on the writer?A. A person should be responsible. B. A person should be generous.C. A person should be selfless. D. A person should be diligent. 42. The passage mainly intends to tell us that .A. helping others is helping ourselves B. we should be generous with our timeC. keep your promise whatever happens D. we should be well-prepared for what hasnt happenedDSunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime “business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant. A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible,” is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other? These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, days and years but unless we meet the truant officer (学监) , we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working,” but less familiar with the fact that what makes up “overtime” is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action?” As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how to organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and rate.43. By saying “Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be,” the writer means that _.A. work time is equal to rest time B. many people have a day off on Monday, C. it is hard for people to decide when to rest D. the line between work time and rest time is unclear44. The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people_.A. fail to make full use of their time B. enjoy working overtime for extra payC. are unaware of the law of time D. welcome flexible working hours45. According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they_.A. need to acquire knowledge B. have to obey their parentsC. need to find companions D. have to observe the law46. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Our life is governed by the law of time. B. How to organize time is not worth debating.C. New ways of using time change our society. D. Our time schedule is decided by social customsEWhy are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body.Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract (消化道), where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when weve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and t
