10、 have to grow their own food and have no electricity or running water. Only two percent of Malawians can afford electricity. With no electricity or running water, life is difficult. In 2001, when William was 14 years old, life in Malawi became even more difficult. There was a severe drought and most

11、 families, including Williams, couldnt grow enough food. explains, “Within five months all Malawians began to starve.My family were limited to one meal per day, at night.” Because of the drought, Williams family couldnt afford to send him to school anymore. So one day William went to the library nea

12、r his home. He wanted to continue his education. William found a science book called Using Energy. It included instructions for building a windmill. Windmills can be very efficient sources of electricity, and they can bring water up from underground. William didnt know much English, and he wasnt abl

13、e to understand most of the book, but it was full of pictures and diagrams. Looking at the pictures, William thought he could build a windmill for his family. When William went home and started building his windmill, a lot of people laughed at him, including his mother. They didnt think he could do

14、it, but William was confident. He saw the photo of the windmill in the book. That meant someone else had been able to build it, so he knew he could build it, too. William was also creative. He didnt have the parts and equipment that he saw in the books illustrations, and he couldnt buy them. So he l

15、ooked for parts in junkyards. He explains, “I found a tractor fan, a car springs, plastic pipes and a bicycle frame. Using these, I was able to build my machine.” William changed and improved his design little by little. First, the windmill powered only one lightbulb. Eventually, it powered four lig

16、hts. Then there was enough electricity for four lights and a radio. No one laughed at William after that, and people in his town started to come to his house to get power for their cell phones. Later, William built a second windmill. This one brought water up from underground. After that, William be

17、gan to teach other people how to build windmills. He also continued to build more of them himself, including one at a primary school in Malawi. Because of his success with the windmills, William was able to go back to school. He also helped with other projects, including solar power, clean water, an

18、d malaria prevention. He wrote a book about his life, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope. In addition, he uses his website, , to educate and give hope to people. His main message is this:“To the Africans, and the poor who are struggling with

19、your dreams .trust yourself and believe. Whatever happens, dont give up.” 24. What do we know about Williams family? A. They did not want him to return to school. B.

22、nts Windmills D. The Magic of Electricity C Throughout history, people who like to think of themselves as high-minded have looked down on the masses for wasting their time on “mindless entertainment”. The definition of “mindless” keeps changing: not so long ago, novels were considered a mind-destroy

23、ing waste; then television took their place, and novel-reading became something that high-minded people did. For years, I told myself I wasnt like the “Average Person” who watched four hours of TV a day, because I was doing something much more intelligent: surfing the internet. Recently, largely tha

24、nks to social media, Its become impossible to ignore the fact that this is often mindless, too. So now I try to stay off social media, and feel slightly superior about it. And what do I do instead, since Im far too smart to waste my life on rubbish? Now, I listen to podcasts(播客). So, naturally, I wa

25、s fascinated by a recent essay in New York magazines, by Sirena Bergman: “I listen to 35 hours of podcasts every week. Is thatbad?”Her conclusion: yes, partly. The brain needs silence, and the trouble with audio like podcasts is that it doesnt simply replace other forms of entertainment; rather, it

26、leaks into the gaps (travelling to work, housework, exercise) that you might previously have used to be alone with your thoughts. Podcasts improve my daily life immensely and Ive zero intention of abandoning them; but Bergman draws attention to an important truth about the content we continuously co

27、nsume: its quite possible to get addicted to stuff that seems educational and intellectual, as well as to brainless nonsense. Indeed, for a certain kind of person, its probably easier. You know its a distraction (分心) to frequently seek updates on the latest reality TV shows or pop music programs. It

28、s harder to remember that political news, or fascinating tales of science ,might be serving the same distracting function. The point is that what makes something a distraction isnt necessarily that its stupid or silly. Its the role its playing in your life. If its helping you switch off your brain,

29、or delay important but scary tasks, or avoid asking tough questions about how youre spending your time, its a problem, whatever the details. Seemingly productive work can easily be a distraction, if its not the work that counts. Even deeply meaningful activities can be distractions. Thats the logic

30、behind a suggestion attributed to the investor Warren Buffett: first, write down your top 25 goals for life; then identify the most important five, focus on them, and avoid the other 20 because they will distract you from what is most important. From this perspective, “mindless entertainment” really

31、 isnt the main danger. Yes, obviously, its a waste of time to watch four hours of television a day. But that very obviousness means its hard to do by accident. Its when you catch yourself feeling smug that youre not affected by that sort of thing that you really need to start worrying. 28.Why does t

He thinks he can find higher quality information on the internet. D. He gets to communicate with amore i

33、ntellectual group of people. 29. What do the writer and Sirena Bergman have in common? A. They are both experts in technology. B. They both enjoy listening to podcasts. C. They both think the internet is a waste of time. D. They both have recently changed their social media habits. 30.What effect di

Seemingly important things are often only a distraction. D. The more ambitious you are the more successful you will be. D Baby b

36、ats learn language from peers (同伴) in their social group, and will adopt the groups dialect, or accent, instead of their mothers ,researcher said on Tuesday. The findings shed new light on crowd-learning of language, a skill thought to be long mainly to humans and just a few other mammals. It also s

37、hows that bats are different from songbirds, which tend to learn songs by copying one of their parents. “The ability to copy vocalizations (發(fā) 音) from others is extremely important for speech learning in humans, but its believed to be rare among animals”, said lead author Yossi Yovel of Tel Aviv Univ

38、ersity. For the study, researchers captured 14 pregnant Egyptian fruit bats. They separated them into three different bat social groups, where they raised the young bats with their mothers. Each bat group was exposed to a different recording of bat vocalizations. “The baby bats all adopted the manne

39、r of vocalizing of the group they heard, not their mothers. The difference between the vocalizations of the mother bat and those of the group is comparable to the difference in a London accent and ,say,a Scottish accent,” Yovel said. “The babies heard their mothers London dialect, but also heard the

40、 Scottish dialect Produced by many dozens of Scottish bats. The babies eventually adopted a dialect that was more Similar to the local Scottish dialect than to the London accent of their mothers.” Researchers hope to conduct future studies to examine how bats dialects change when they leave their so

To show the differences in dialects among social groups. D. To compare how the two accents influenced understanding. 34.In paragra

43、ph 3,what does the underlined word they refer to? A. Accents. B. Baby bats. C. Researchers. D. Mother bats. 35.What will the future study most probably focus on? A. How bats adopt a new dialect after entering a new social group. B. Whether bats leave their social group if they change their accents.

44、C. Why some bats fail to be accepted in a new group after they are born. D. What changes might occur to bats accent after entering a new social group. 第二節(jié) (共5 小題;每小題2 分，滿分10 分) 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余 選項(xiàng)。Growing up in a rural village in eastern Nepal, Mira Rai, 29, had dreams that wen
