23、ns citizens hundreds of kilometers away.

24、e life of a polar bear and her cubs as well as a walrus and her calves. Footage (素材)used for the film was shot over a 15-year period.

31、h-needed suppliesC. driverscan earn some money in diamond mines and offshore oil rigsD. drivers need great determination to fight against the tough condition.BTraveling alone can be daunting (令人畏缩的). I have traveled by myself many times but, on every occasion, there was someone to meet me at the oth
32、er end of the bus, train or plane journey. This time was different.Last week I had a holiday, from work, but none of my friends had the same week off. I decided that I still wanted to do something, so I booked a train ride to Toronto and reserved (预订)a bed in a hostel for one week.One week by myself
33、. Would I be lonely? Would I be bored? Quite the opposite. In fact, there are many benefits that come from traveling alone. Firstly, I was able to do whatever I wanted. I spent hours in museums that would have seemed boring and dull to some of my friends. I walked all around the city, which some peo
34、ple may have found too exhausting (令人疲惫的). Instead of relying on someone else to remember directions or to suggest activities to do, I discovered my independence and developed map-reading skills that I didnt know I had. I could get up and go to sleep when I wanted and I didnt have to wait for anyone
35、 else to shower and get ready every morning. Being in the safe environment of a hostel with like-minded travelers also gives a great opportunity to meet new people from all over the world, which can help combat loneliness.In spite of the benefits, I found that there were also some disadvantages of t
36、raveling alone. I missed having someone to talk to and to bounce (探讨)ideas off. Experiences are often more enjoyable if they are shared, and part of the fun of traveling is the memories you have afterwards. Without a travel partner, I wont be able to laugh about and remember my Toronto adventure wit
37、h a friend or family member in years to come.In addition, eating in a restaurant or cooking in the hostel was less fun on my own.I am very proud of myself for traveling alone, and I had a fantastic time in Toronto. However, in the future, I think I will always prefer to travel with another person or
38、 in a small group. Though, maybe it depends on who you travel with I would rather be by myself than with someone who is lazy, difficult and argumentative (好争论的).41.

42、usiastic and independent.CIsraeli company Watergen has produced an appliance that can generate (生产)clean, drinkable water out of air. The device, called GENNY, is small enough to be used in a home or office but can generate up to 30 liters of water a day.GENNY takes air in and passes it through a fi
43、lter (过滤器)to remove dust and dirt. The filter is powerful enough to work even in areas with high air pollution. The air is directed through GENius, a heating and cooling process which causes water in the air to condense (凝结). This water is then passed through several more filters and minerals are ad
44、ded to improve the flavor of the water. Finally, the water is stored in a tank where it: is continually circulated to keep it fresh. Therefore, the water produced by GENNY is often of a higher quality than water running through filtration systems attached to the citys water lines.The technology of G
45、ENius is much better than other technologies that generate water from air. It produces four to five times more water per kilowatt-hour. Watergen has other products that use this same technology on a larger scale, the largest of which can produce up to 5,000 liters of water per day.As an added bonus,
46、 during the water generation process; GENNY can emit clean air which is healthier for people to breathe.At the 2020 Smart home mark of Excellence Awards at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, GENNY was named the Energy Efficient Product of the Year. The award series recognize the worlds top
47、high-tech home products.As a company, Watergen focuses on dealing with the global water shortage. Last year, Watergens large-scale products were donated to authorities in Brazil, Vietnam and India. They also assisted rescue and recovery efforts during the 2018 California wildfires and provided clean
48、, safe water for the residents of Texas and Florida in the aftermath of the devastation caused by hurricanes Harvey and Irma.Watergen also seeks to help protect the environment by reducing waste generated by plastic water bottles. People are called upon to put the water from GEENY into reusable bott
49、les so that plastic ones dont get used and thrown away.46. What does the author tell us in Paragraph 2?A. How high-quality water is produced.B. Air will condense through cooling process.C.

50、ENNY accomplish by adding minerals to.the water?A. It keeps the water fresh.B. It helps kill harmful bacteria.C. It makes the water taste better.D. It satisfies local water regulations.48. Which of the following can-best describe GENius?A. Time-saving.B. Energy-efficient.C. Ground-breaking.D. Enviro
51、nment-friendly.49. What does the underlined word “emit” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Blow away.B. Cut down. C. Use up.D. Give off.50. What can Watergen do using its large-scale products?A.

52、ome countries.DDuring a visit to the United Arab Emirates, I was invited to speak to college students to learn more about how the country is preparing the next generation for the future. I met with students who were required to present their final projects in a three-minute presentation to members o
53、f the ruling family. Now, that is pressure. But learning the art of public speaking is no longer an option to succeed in the 21st century; it is fundamental.Educators who I have met across the Middle East, Europe and Asia say that they are elevating the art of public speaking to a core requirement a
54、long with math and science. Chris Anderson, the curator(负责人)of TED, encourages schools in the United States to make “presentation literacy” a requirement in elementary schools. There is a wrinkle, however. According to an article in The Atlantic, some American middle-school and high-school students
55、are advocating for the elimination (取消)of mandatory (强制的)in-class, presentations.Their anxiety is real. Psychology professor Matthew Lieberman writes in book, “Our brains crave the positive evaluation of others almost to an embarrassing degree.” Thats why most of us get anxious about public speaking
56、. Anxiety can turn into full-blown panic attacks or create lifelong fears.As an author whose books are used in public speaking classes around the world, I will explain why public speaking skills are more important than ever. Persuasion - one person convincing another to change their mind - is now re
57、sponsible for 25 percent of Americas total income, according to Deirdre McCloskey at the University of Illinois. The percentage will rise to 40 percent soon, she assured me. It is a terrible idea to reduce public speaking opportunities in class at a time when students need the skills it can give the
58、m to succeed. Today anyone who is better at presenting their ideas can see a sudden, massive increase in wealth that is unprecedented in human history.In the age of ideas, public speaking is one of the greatest skills that students need in order to learn, grow, and inspire the rest of us to dream bi
59、gger. If students enjoy the process of building the necessary skill set, they will learn to love public speaking.51. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. Public speaking is essential in preparing for the future.B. Students dont have to choose the course of public speaking.C. The ruling family plays
60、 a key role in judging the presentation.D. College students are under pressure in preparing the introduction.52. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Simple case. B. New idea.C. Small problem. D. Strong belief.53. Matthew Lieberman is telling us that .A. we long for the posi
61、tive judgment terriblyB. good public speaking skills can promote our confidenceC. we feel embarrassed when expecting positive evaluationD. public speaking can make us feel scared rather than anxious54. Which of the following is the benefit of public speaking?A. It can help persuade others to change
62、their mind.B. Good speakers can see huge rise in their income.C. It will offer students skills to make a great success.D. It encourages students to live a wealthy life in the future.55. What is the passage mainly about?A. It scares students to make a speech publicly.B. Presentations is a steppingsto
