15、.D. 300 kr.BI recently attended a wedding in a rural area in north Italy, and guests were provided with a car and driver for the 90-minute journey into the hills. That was exciting: A private car! I could pretend I was rich! Since Im not, though, I had no idea how much this trip actually cost. As a
16、result, after our driver picked us back up at midnight, I secretly worried all the way home about tipping him.I fished around nervously in my purse and realized that all I had was a $100 note, which I was keeping for an emergency. I had nothing smaller. And I had nothing else to offer but two chocol
17、ates from the wedding. So, I could tip the driver that $100 note or two chocolates. In the end, I chose the money. The whole matter of tipping has long been a source of awkward interactions and, for some travellers, mild anxiety throughout the world. Tipping customs vary wildly from country to count
18、ry. A friend in Rome tells me that Italians get hurt by big tips. “Leaving a big tip is considered impolite,” she adds, “Ive had Italian friends make me take money back.” It reminded me of my 100-dollar tip. What if I had annoyed the driver? So I decided to call the car company and ask them to pass
19、on a message to the driver apologizing for the improper tip and explaining the situation. To my surprise, the car company responded that the driver had actually called to express his gratitude for the unexpected big tip. He had apparently been having a tough week and the money had come at just the r
20、ight time.I was astonished. All my worry had been for nothing. What started out as a source of anxiety ended up being a heartwarming experience. I learned that sometimes its better to go with your feelings and be generous, even if it means taking a risk.24. What did the author realize when she dug a

24、late holding two strawberries, identical in appearance. One came out of a supermarket box, meaning it was probably harvested when it was still unripe. By the time it reached the plate it may have been off the vine for two weeks. The other strawberry was picked from a garden minutes before being eate
25、n.Supermarket strawberries are not entirely without advantages: they are convenient and still available even in winter months. But the two berries differ from each other in the same way that hearing music in a concert hall differs from listening to it on an old CD player. The home-grown fruit is an
26、eatable case for making a home garden.Your columnist, who long considered gardening a complete waste of time, advances this argument with great enthusiasm. Planting cool-weather greens, as gardeners across the north-east of America are now doing, can seem nonsense, since convenient, continuously wel
27、l-stocked supermarket shelves are available all week. But the same could be said of cooking: there are many cheap and decent restaurants around, so why bother to make your own meals?That attitude misconstrues the ultimate appeal of gardening: it mistakes the product for the purpose. It is true that
28、a garden can produce tomatoes and carrots of incomparable sweetness, and celtuce and herbs that taste like themselves rather than the plastic they are usually packaged in. While finding, lets say, celtuce in the shops can take some time, effort, and expense, growing your own vegetables ensures a rel
29、iable supply.On the other hand, a garden, especially in the early years, can produce little but frustration. Green hands may plant the wrong crops for their soil. And even expert gardeners can lose a seasons harvest to uncooperative weather.No matter. The real joy of gardening is the time spent doin
30、g it. The deepest pleasure-as with cooking, writing or almost anything worthwhile is in the work itself. To garden is to patiently, lovingly and diligently help life become strong and healthy, in the ground and above it.28. What can we know about the supermarket strawberries?A. They look distinct fr
31、om home-grown ones.B. They give out pleasant and fresh smell.C. They are picked days before fully grown.D. They are planted typically in winter.29. What does the underlined word “misconstrues“ mean in paragraph 4?A. Misinterprets.B. Transforms.C. Mistrusts.D. Highlights.30. Why does the author menti

To help readers have a whole picture of gardening.31. What is the authors opinion on gardening?A. Its a diffic
33、ult and time-consuming process.B. Products of gardening make it worthwhile.C. The time and efforts invested make it a delight.D. It reduces the cost of purchasing vegetables.DThe deep-sea oil and gas industry has vast and costly facilities to maintain. Wells, other equipment, and thousands of kilome
34、ters of pipelines must be inspected and repaired.Now, cutting-edge underwater drones (无人机) and robots are being developed that could make the work safer and cheaper. Among them is Eelume, a six-meter-long, snake-like robot equipped with sensors and a camera at each end. It can be kept at a station a
35、t depths of up to half a kilometer for six months, without being brought back to the surface. The robot can travel up to 20 kilometers before needing to return to its station to recharge.Maintenance work at many deep-water wells and pipeline systems is already carried out by unmanned vehicles. But t
36、hese vehicles typically need to be transported to the offshore site on a fully crewed ship and then remotely operated from onboard the surface ship. That can cost up to $100,000 per day, according to Pl Liljebck, chief technology officer with Eelume Subsea Intervention, which developed the robot. Li
37、ljebck says that by “enabling the robot to become a subsea resident living at a station, it can be mobilized at any time to do inspections, thereby reducing the need for costly surface ships”.Eelume can work autonomously on tasks assigned from a control room onshore, and send back video and data. It
38、s snake-like design allows it to work in small spaces and wriggle (扭动) its body to stay in place in strong currents. By staying under the sea, it can carry out tasks whatever the conditions on the surface of the ocean.The global underwater robotics market is expected to be worth around $7 billion in
39、 2025, according to analysts, and other companies are in the process of commercializing new deep-sea drone and robot technology.

And yet, while most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold wind of criticism, we are so
44、mehow reluctant to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. 36 Perhaps its because few of us know how to accept compliments gracefully. Instead, we are embarrassed and shrug off the words we are really so glad to hear. Because of this defensive reaction, direct compliments are surprisingly diff
45、icult to give. That is why some of the most valued pats on the back are those which come to us indirectly, in a letter or passed on by a friend. Its especially rewarding to give praise in areas in which effort generally goes unnoticed or unmentioned. 37 A cook is praised for a perfect meal. But do y

Praise is particularly appreciated by those doing routine jobs: gas station attendants, waitresses-even housewives. 38 Sin
47、ce so often praise is the only wage a housewife receives, surely she of all people should get her measure. 39 It only takes a moments thought and a moments effort perhaps a quick phone call to pass on a compliment, or five minutes spent writing an appreciative letter. It is such a small investment a

Perseverance is a strong motivation that drives us on the way to success.
