三、阅读单选

A strange siphon

A siphon

（虹吸管）

is a simple tool for moving water from one place to another and it’s

试卷第3页，共12页

usually made with a hose

（软管）

of some kind.

Here’s one that’s made of nothing but paper:

You’ll need

·Toilet paper

·Two drinking glasses

1. Tear off

（撕掉）

five squares of toilet paper and gently roll them into a tong cylinder

（圆柱形）

.

2. Fill one of the glasses with water, stand it next to the empty glass and lay the paper

into as shown in the picture.

3. Leave the glasses and check them a day later.

What happened?

Some of the water—as much as half of the water if your siphon works well—will have

moved from the full glass to the empty glass.

Water is made up of tiny particles

（粒子）

. and a piece of paper contains tiny spaces

between the paper fibers

（纤维）

that hold onto water particles.

Those tiny spaces null water along with a force called capillary action

（毛细管作用）

”,

In your siphon, they pulled the water particles over into the empty glass.

A

．

Hose. B

．

Paper. C

．

Water. D

．

Plastic.

In a restaurant, a big bug (

虫子

) suddenly flew out of nowhere and landed on a woman.

She started shouting out of fear. With a shocked face, she started jumping around with both

her hands shaking, trying to scare away the bug. Her reaction (

反应

) was so strong that it

made everyone in her group nervous. She finally got the bug off her, but then it landed on

another woman in the group. Now it was her turn to continue the reaction.

A waiter rushed to their table. The second woman managed to get the bug onto the waiter.

The waiter stood quietly and looked at the bug on his shirt.

While remaining calm, he carefully picked up the bug with his fingers and then threw it

out of a window. People around him were surprised.

Watching the event go on, I started wondering: Was the bug the reason for their

behaviors? If so, then why was the waiter not troubled? He solved the problem perfectly

without any mess.

In fact, it was not the bug, but the ability of those people to deal with the trouble caused

by the bug that influenced the women.

Then I realized that it was not the shouting of my father or my boss or my wife that

influenced me, but my ability to deal with the trouble caused by their shouting that influenced

me. It’s not the traffic jams on the road that troubles me, but the lack of my ability to deal

with the mess caused by the traffic jams that troubles me.

It is not the problem, but my reaction to the problem that creates trouble in my life.

34

．

From the story, we can know that the second woman ________.

A

．

was not scared because she was strong

C

．

threw the bug back on the first woman

B

．

continued watching the event go on

D

．

reacted the same way as the first woman

B

．

Tiny particles. C

．

Capillary action. D

．

Water particles.

35

．

Which of the following is the right order of the story?

①The waiter helped solve the problem.

①The big bug landed on a woman.

①The woman tried to get off the bug.

①The writer realized what created trouble.

Sales of electric vehicles (EVs), like electric cars and electric buses, grew 40 percent last

year worldwide. Nearly a third of drivers want their next car to be electric.

But EVs are nothing new. Scottish inventor Robert Anderson developed the first electric

carriage (

马车

) around 1832, then William Morrison of Iowa perfected the model years later.

By the turn of the century, nearly a third of all road cars in the US were electric. One of the

earliest fans of electric cars, Thomas Edison said that electric cars would need to depend on

powerful batteries (

电池

), though he was unsuccessful in developing one himself. However,

one of today’s best-known electric car companies called Tesla has successfully produced

electric ones.

EVs are becoming more affordable though some of them are still expensive. Tesla’s

latest one will start at $200,000, while the cheapest model is $41,000. Plenty of others are

even more affordable. Companies like Nissan and Chevy all offer models for around $30,000.

Meanwhile, many states in the US will offer buying incentives (

刺激

) if people are choosing

an electric car.

In China, there are about 49,000 public energy stations outside, which make it easy to

get electricity. But for most electric car owners, charging (

充电

) at home is the way to go. It

takes longer, but you can do it overnight when electricity is cheapest.

Most EVs get about 250 miles from a full charge, which is far less than the distance

most gas-powered cars can go on a full tank. But EVs are catching up. Tesla comes the

closest. Its 2020 Model S gets about 400 miles on a single charge, and the newer 2021 one

gets closer to 500. Charging technology is also improving. For example, BMW makes a

fast-charging system that adds about 60 miles of drive in about six minutes.
