26、 50 ancient and universal symbol, often representing the connection between human beings and their gods.

29、 and DChoose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passageAI am a writerI spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of languagethe way it can evoke（唤起） an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truthLanguage is the tool of my tradeAnd I use them

30、allall the Englishes I grew up withBorn into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, Ive been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaksLike others, I have described it to people as “broken” EnglishBut feel embarrassed to say thatIt has always bothered me that I ca

31、n think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholenessIve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for exampleBut they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including peoples perceptions（认识）of the limited Eng

32、lish speakerI know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mothers “limited” English limited my perception (看法)of herI was ashamed of her EnglishI believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to sayThat is ,because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperf

33、ectAnd I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear herI started writing fiction in 1985And for reasons

34、 I wont get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal（内在的） language, and for that I sought to preserv

35、e the essence（本质）, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms（韵律） of her speech and the nature of her thoughts56By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that _Ashe uses E

39、 almost certainly mention recyclingRecycling in the home is very important of courseHowever, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we needWe are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not n

40、eed to bring so much material home in the first placeThe total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005It now makes up a third of a typical households waste in the UKIn many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard（硬纸板）Too much packaging is doi

41、ng serious damage to the environmentThe UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary wasteIf such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effectRecycling helps, but the process itself uses energyThe solution is not to produce such

42、items in the first placeFood waste is a serious problem, tooToo many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for exampleBut this is not just about su

43、permarketsIt is about all of usWe have learned to associate packaging with qualityWe have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor qualityThis is especially true of food. But is also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessaryThere ar

44、e signs of hopeAs more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary materials are collectingWe need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb61What does the underlined phrase “over-consumption” refer to? AUsing too much packagingBRecycl

45、ing too many wastesCMaking more products than necessaryDHaving more material than is needed62The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _Athe tendency of cutting household wasteBthe increase of packaging recyclingCthe rapid growth of super marketsDthe fact of packaging overuse63According to the

46、text, recycling _Ahelps control the greenhouse effectBmeans burning packaging for energyCis the solution to gas shortageDleads to a waste of land64What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?AUnpackaged products are of bad qualityBSupermarkets care more about packagingCIt is improper to judge quality by p

47、ackagingDOther products are better packaged than food65What can we learn from the last paragraph?AFighting wastefulness is difficultBNeedless material is mostly recycledCPeople like collecting recyclable wasteDThe author is proud of their consumer cultureCBatteries can power anything from small sens

48、ors（敏感元件） to large systemsWhile scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices （设备）themselvesUniversity of Missouri（MU） researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, l

49、ighter and more efficient“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density（密度）”，said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU“The radioisotope（放射性同位素） battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries”Kwon and his

50、 research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro / nanoelectromechanical systems （M/NEMS）Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe“People hear the word nuclear and think of

51、something very dangerous,” he said, “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems”His new idea is not only in the batterys size, but also in its semiconductor（半导体）Kwons battery uses a liquid semico

52、nductor rather than a solid semiconductor“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure（晶体结构） of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that pro

53、blem”Together with JDavid Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the batteryIn the future, they hope to increase the batterys power, shrink its size and try with various other materialsKwon said that battery could be thinne

54、r than the thickness of human hair66Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?AHe teaches chemistry at MUBHe developed a chemical batteryCHe is working on a nuclear energy sourceDHe made a breakthrough in computer engineering67Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4_Ato show chemical batteries are widely applied.Bto introduce nuclear batteries can be safely usedCto describe a nuclear-powered systemDto introduce various energy sources68Liquid semiconductor is used to _Aget rid of the radioactive wasteBtest the power of nuclear batteriesCdecrease th
