a. on board.b. through mail&ride.c. with pay-per-ride.d. via mta etix.23. where is the text probably taken from? a. a website.b. a newspaper. c. a magazine.d. a brochure. bit is irrefutable: parents, who talk to, read and engage with their very young children as often as possible, help them build literacy(读写能力) skills at an early age. also certain: parents of very young children usually have to do a lot of laundry. and low-income families tend to bring their kids with them to public laundromats(洗衣房).those truths appear once a week at select neighborhood laundromats in chicago. thats when librarians lay down colorful mats and oversized board books beside the industrial washing machines. inside one of about 14 laundromats in the citys low-income neighborhoods, the librarians gather all available children for laundromat story time(lst), a chicago public library(cpl) program. with the noise of the washers and dryers, anywhere between a handful to more than a dozen children hear stories, sing songs and play games designed to help their brains develop. the event also aims to instruct parents on how to repeat the experience for their kids, working to raise poor literacy rates in underserved communities. “we read books, we sing songs, we do plays,” says becca ruidl, the cpls steamteam early learning manager, who runs the lst program. “we kind of keep it going so parents can walk in and join in at any time. but a big part of what we do is model literary skills for parents so they can do it at home with their kids.” while a laundromat seems an unlikely place to engage with children, “we really wanted to meet people in the community where theyre,” ruidl says. and it clearly meets a need: library officials say the program is in increasing demand, while ruidl says families have adjusted their households laundry day to suit the librarians laundromat visits. at the same time, lsts co-sponsorsincluding a laundry industry trade group and libraries without borders, an organization fighting poverty through literacyhave worked with the cpl to draft an instruction handbook to help expand the concept to other u.s. cities.24. what does the word “irrefutable” in paragraph 1 probably mean? a. undoubtful. b. controversial. c. impossible. d. fruitful. 25. why are public laundromats chosen for lst? a. parents of poor families do a lot of laundry. b. they offer a perfect atmosphere for leaning. c. poor parents often go there with their kids.d. reading to kids promotes their literacy skills. 26. what can we infer about lst from the last paragraph? a. it is demanding.b. its focus has been adjusted. c. it will fight poverty.d. its concept will be spread. 27. what is the best title for the text? a. literacy at the laundromatb. models of parenting c. laundromats for kidsd. magic in story time c qing-feng steamed dumpling shop. daniang dumplings. mcdonalds. what do these companies have in common? well, besides all being fast food chains, their logos are all red. and its not a coincidence. color is one of the many that companies use to connect with customers. and if fast food wasnt hard enough, those red logos might make it even harder to ignore. the average human can see ten million colors, but red is special. its one of the first colors our ancient ancestors thought important enough to name. early human languages were uncolorful. there were words for “black” and “white” and “red” but not much else. as a result, we have a deeper connection to red than any other color and we react to it in certain ways that actually play to fast food companies advantage. for starters, researchers have found that red can cause a sense of urgency. on top of that, it also has an ability to whet (刺激) our appetites. and when you pair those two together, youve got the perfect recipe to attract hungry customers who want food, fast. so the red logo isnt just a welcoming sign. its a seduction(诱惑) for your brain. now, its unclear why red makes us feel this way. but perhaps it has something to do with where the word comes from. many ancient languages first named red from their word for “blood”. but reds bloody beginning has transformed. during medieval times, for example, red was worn by royals as a status symbol. and today, brides in many parts of india are married in red dress. in fact, red is one of the few colors today that cultures all over the world view positively. and its no wonder companies attach so much importance to their logos. after all, were a visual species. despite having five senses, 80% of the information our brains process on a daily basis comes from our eyes. and according to marketing company webpagefx, nearly 85% of consumers say the main reason they choose one product over the other is color. just think what mcdonalds would look like in blue, green, or pink! its just not the same, right? 28. what is the writers purpose in writing the text? a. to introduce the origin of the color red. b. to describe the use of colors in marketing. c. to explain why many fast food logos are red.d. to show how fast food companies attract customers. 29. what feeling will people probably have when seeing red fast food logos? a. relaxation. b. calmness.c eagerness.d. contentment. 30. the two examples in paragraph 5 are mentioned to show_. a. the meaning of red has changedb. indian people value redc. red has something to do with bloodd. red indicates a high status 31. why do companies pay much attention to their logos according to paragraph 6? a. logos convey their values.b. logos awaken peoples senses.c. people process information daily.d. people largely rely on what they see. d cao yuan, a phd student from china, had two papers published on strange behaviour in atom-thick layers of carbon that have opened up a new field of physics. pablo jarillo-herrero s group at mit was already layering and rotating (旋转)sheets of carbon at different angles when cao joined the lab in 2014. caos job was to find out what happened when one graphene(石墨烯)sheet was twisted only slightly with respect to the other, which one theory predicted would thoroughly change the materials behaviour. many physicists doubted the idea. but when cao set out to create the subtly twisted stacks, he spotted something strange. exposed to a small electric field and cooled to 1.7 degrees above absolute zero, the graphenewhich ordinarily conducts electricitybecame an insulator. that by itself was surprising. but the best was yet to come: with a slight change to the field, twisted sheets became a superconductor, in which electricity flowed without resistance.the ability to get atom-thick carbon into a complex electronic state through a simple rotation now has physicists demanding to engineer exciting behaviour in other twisted 2d materials. some even hope that graphene could shed light on how more-complex materials superconduct at much higher temperatures. “there are so many things we can do,” says cory dean, a physicist at columbia university. “the opportunities at hand now are almost irresistible.” hitting graphenes “magic angle”a rotation between parallel sheets of around 1.1involved some trial and error, but cao was soon able to do it reliably. his experimental skill was extremely important, says his supervisor jarillo-herrero. cao pioneered a method of tearing a single sheet of graphene so that he could create a stack of two layers, from which he could then fine-tune alignment(微调校准). cao loves to take things apart and rebuild them. at heart, he is “a tinkerer”, his supervisor says. on his own time, this means photographing the night sky using homemade cameras and telescopes pieces of which usually lie across caos office. “every time i go in, its a huge mess, with computers taken apart and pieces of telescope all over his desk,” says jarillo-herrero. 32. what is cao yuans achievement? a. creating a method of piling carbon. b. finding the superconductivity of graphene. c. making equipment to twist graphene.d. starting research on a new field of physics. 33. what do we know from cory deans words? a. the finding can be applied to all materials. b. it is certain that many new discoveries are on the way. c. the discovery suggests potential for other twisted 2d materials.d. physicists have been pushed to find more atom-thick carbon layers. 34. what does jarillo-herrero think is key to cao yuans discovery? a. his method of tearing sheets.b. his knowledge of physics.c. his curiosity about graphene.d. his skill in experiments. 35. what can we infer about janillo-herrero? a. he is an expert in telescope.b. he thinks highly of cao yuan. c. he appreciates messy offices.d. he follows cao yuans research.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。if you travel, you will leave a carbon footprint in your wake. you cant help it. but eco-friendly travel practices can lighten the harm on mother earth. green travel is not a passing trend but a lifestyle choice. 36 .choosing a green destination no destination is a green giant. 37 . however, some countries and cities show a deep commitment to earth-friendly policies and practices. when researching a vacation spot, look for places that naturally embrace the green lifestyle. choosing green transportation what makes mother earth proud?
