Then my eyes settled on the clock. It was 2(believable)! Just now, it was a minute or so past ten; now it was nearly half past three
5、! I pushed the lever further. Night 3(fall) as if a lamp was being turned out, and in another moment came the day.I found it hard to explain the strange and unpleasant feeling of time travelling. I felt I was being driven fast on a winding road. As my pace grew faster, all of 4 sudden, the walls of
6、the laboratory fell away, and I found I was left in the open air. The whole surface of the earth was 5(constant) changing before my eyes. I thought that I was being pushed through time at 6(hundred) of years a minute.I had a strong urge 7(look) at things that were flashing before my eyes! I knew I w

8、I was stunned for a moment and then I found myself 10(sit) in the rain next to the machine.三、 阅读理解：AIt can be a real struggle to try to learn a new language. I had always enjoyed learning languages in school, but only recently did I start learning German. I found that I could understand and learn in
9、dividual words easily, but when it came to literature, I really struggled. That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some childrens books printed in the target language(目标语言).At first, I felt it a bit silly to go on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age, but then I realized
10、 that everyone has to start somewhere. As children, we were given these basic texts to familiarize our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures, and from there, we could learn and develop. I started with books which are taught to children in the UK. I managed to find OliverTwist by Char
11、les Dickens and JamesandtheGiantPeach by Roald Dahl.The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot. As a result, you can work out some of the definitions of words with your prior knowledge of the story. At first, I used to read with
12、the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other, but this method did not work well for me. The method I would recommend is to read a chapter of your chosen childrens book and at the end of that chapter, highlight the words you do not know and then look up the definitions. If you can wait a bit be
13、fore you use a dictionary, you may be surprised what youcan get merely from the context of the sentence in the story. Additionally, a lot of childrens books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or whom the passage is referring to.1.Why was the author advised to read childrens books?A.

Understanding the words simply from the context.D. Looking up the definitions of words from a dictionary.4
16、.What can be the best title of the passage?A. Reading Childrens Books B. My Good Reading HabitsC. The Ways of Learning Languages D. The Method of Using a DictionaryBTo tackle the problem of microplastics polluting waterways, chemists in the Czech Republic are thinking small. Their brainchild is new
17、microrobots which are no bigger than the tip of a sharpened pencil. When sunlight reaches them, they produce chemical reactions that push them through water in a specific direction. When they find a piece of plastic, they stick to it and start to break it down.Chemist Martin Pumera at the University
18、 of Chemistry and Technology, Prague led the project. A decade ago, he chose to focus on the problem posed by microplastics. Theyre everywhere from the bottom of the ocean to air blowing onto ice atop mountains. Theyve turned up in drinking water. Some studies estimate that billions of plastics end
19、up in the worlds waters. The plastics have many sources, from shopping bags to washing and cleaning wipes.In lab experiments, the star-shaped swimmers stuck to each of four different types of plastics. And after being exposed to light for a week, the robots reduced the weight of the plastics. It was
20、nt much only by 3 percent. But that was an indication that they were breaking the plastics down. They also caused the surface of the plastics to change from smooth to rough. That was another sign that the robots were degrading(分解) them. The new study is a proof of concept type. It shows something ca
21、n be done successfully.In fact, Pumera says they still have a long way to go. There are many types of plastics. And even these microrobots are unlikely to succeed in degrading them all. The researchers also have not yet shown how safe this system is for the environment, although Pumera says thats th
22、eir next goal. The first real-world test will be in a wastewater treatment plant. Indeed, says one researcher, well need a lot of testing to show that theyre safe in open waterways, such as at sea.5.The microrobots are powered by .A. waterB. sunlightC. plasticsD. pencils6.What does the author focus
