2、ke, and its so multifunctional that you can handle any terrain (地势) on it, making it a great choice for those wanting to try various cycling subjects. If you leave on the thick tires it comes with, it can ride on various paths and can even handle some less demanding mountain bike routes. Alternative

Planet X RT-58 v2Planet X is based in Yorkshire, which means youd probably have to buy this bike without seeing it. But its worth it

9、e in stores? All of these questions concern the world of fashion.Fashion refers to the styles of dress that are currently popular. Fashion goes beyond just clothes, though. Its important for some people to wear only the latest fashions and styles. For others, though, keeping up with trends isnt that
10、 important. The one thing that stays the same with fashion is this: it always changes!In the 1960s and 1970s, hippies made bell-bottomed blue jeans popular. In the 1980s, Michael Jackson made parachute pants (降落伞裤) all the fashion. Now try to find these items in todays clothing stores!Why do fashion
11、s change? The answer is probably as simple as the fact that people change. Over time, the new replaces the old. People are influenced greatly by popular culture, including athletes, musicians, movie stars, as well as popular films, television shows, books and music. We are also influenced by the fas
12、hion industrys advertising.The stars of popular culture are always searching for a new angle to maintain (保持) their popularity. Often these new angles come in the form of new clothing or hairstyles. When people see these new styles, they often want to imitate their favorite stars. To do so, they see
13、k out the latest fashions to make themselves look like the people they want to imitate. In this way, fashions evolve and change over time.For years, clothes have been used to separate people into groups. Even today, brand-name clothing that is more expensive than other types of clothing can be used
14、by some people to distinguish themselves from others.Unfortunately, this can often have the effect of distancing certain groups from others. Dont forget that its always OK to develop your own sense of style that is unique and separate from what the fashion world determines! Stay true to yourself and
15、 let your personality not your clothes speak for who you are!24. The examples of bell-bottomed blue jeans and parachute pants in Paragraph 3 suggest that _. A. fashion always changes B. stars are always influentialC. people have different dressing styles D. hippies and Michael Jackson are good desig
16、ners25. Fashions change mainly because _.A. advertisements change rapidly B. popular culture influences peopleC. movie stars are changing over time D. new films and shows replace the old26. In the last paragraph, the author mainly wants to stress _.A. the advantages of staying unique B. the bad effe
17、cts of following fashionC. the good influences of popular styles D. the importance of having ones own personality27. We can learn from the text that _.A. fashion is all about clothes B. the author has gone out of fashionC. clothes may separate and distance people D. people like imitating others dres
18、sing styleCScientists have solved the mystery of why the overwhelming majority of mammoth fossils(化石)are male.Much like wild elephants today, young male Ice Age mammoths probably travelled around alone and more often got themselves into risky situations where they were swept into rivers, or fell thr
19、ough ice or into mud, lakes or sinkholes that preserved their bones for thousands of years, scientists say.Females, on the other hand, travelled in groups led by an older matriarch who knew the landscape and directed her group away from danger.Without the benefit of living in a herd led by an experi
20、enced female, male mammoths had a much higher risk of dying in natural traps such as mud holes, rock cracks and lakes, said co-author Love Dalen of the Swedish Museum of Natural History in a report published on Thursday in the journal Current Biology.The study used genetic data to determine the sex
21、of 98 woolly mammoth fossils in Siberia Researchers found that 69% of the samples were male, a heavily unbalanced sex ratio, assuming that the sexes were fairly even at birth.We were very surprised because there was no reason to expect a sex bias in the fossil record, said first author Patricia Pecn
22、erova, also of the Swedish Museum of Natural History. Therefore, researchers believe that something about the way they lived influenced the way they died.Most bones, tusks, and teeth from mammoths and other Ice Age animals havent survived, explained Dalen.It is highly likely that the remains that ar
23、e found in Siberia these days have been preserved because they have been buried, and thus protected from weathering.These giant, tusked plant eaters disappeared about 4,000 years ago. While there is no scientific agreement about the causes of their disappearance from the planet, most believe that cl
24、imate change, excessive hunting by humans and the spread of other animals into mammoth feeding grounds were influential factors.28. The underlined word matriarch in paragraph 3 means _.A. figure head B. female leader C experienced animal D. mature mammoth29. Why do the majority of mammoth fossils co
25、me from male animals?A. Scientists find it easier to study male fossilized bones.B. There were more male mammoths in comparison to femalesC Male mammoths were better able to adapt to the changing circumstances.D. Male mammoths more frequently died in places where fossils could form.30. Which of the
26、following is suggested as a reason for mammoths dying out?A. The increasing competition for food. B. The cooling of the earths temperature.C. The disappearance of male mammoths. D The risky behaviour of younger mammoths.31. What is the text type of the passage?A. A newspaper article. B. An academic
27、essay.C. A historical description. D. A science fiction story.DIts no secret that American infrastructure is aging. Concrete(混凝土) structures, in particular, are in desperate need of repair.Cracks (缝隙) are very common due to various chemical and physical phenomena that occur during everyday use, whic
28、h can be quite harmful as they provide an easy route in for liquids and gasses and the harmful substances they might contain. But continuous repair work is difficult because it usually requires a huge amount of labor and investment. So since 2013, Ive been trying to figure out how these harmful crac
29、ks could heal themselves without human involvement. The idea was originally inspired by the amazing ability of the human body to heal itself of cuts, bruises and broken bones. In the same way, can we provide necessary products to concrete to fill in cracks when damage happens?My colleagues from Bing
30、hamton University and I have found an unusual candidate to help concrete heal itself: a fungus (真菌) called Trichoderma reesei. We initially screened about 20 different species of fungi in order to find one that could stand the difficult conditions in concrete. Of all the fungi we tested, only T. ree
31、sei could survive this environment. Despite the sudden PHincrease, its spores (孢子) developed into threadlike things and grew equally well with or without concrete.We propose including fungal spores, together with nutrients, during the initial mixing process when building a new concrete structure. Wh
32、en the unavoidable cracking occurs and water finds its way in, the sleeping fungal spores will start to grow. They then will work as an activator within the calcium-rich conditions of the concrete to promote precipitation (析出) of calcium carbonatecrystals. These mineral deposits can fill in the crac
33、ks. If cracks form again and environmental conditions become favorable, the spores could wake up and repeat the process.Our research is still in the initial stage and theres a long way to go to make self-healing concrete practical and cost-effective. But the scope of American infrastructures challen
34、ges makes exploring creative solutions like this worthwhile.32.Why does the author mention the self-healing of human body?A.To show how amazing human body is. B.To prove everything will turn out to be fine.C.To provide a possibility of concrete healing itself.D.To stress that its unnecessary to have
35、 medicines.33.What do we know about T. reesei?A.It has been applied to building a new concrete. B.It can bear the tough conditions in concrete.C. Its spores will be useless after one repair. D.It poses potential risks to environment.34.What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer
36、 to?A.The challenges of American infrastructure. B.The research on self-healing concrete.C.The process of cracking. D.The promotion of spores.35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.The Danger of Cracks B.The Aging of American InfrastructureC.The Most Powerful Fungus D.Concret
