I went climbing with a millennial(千禧一代).She is younger, fitter, braver and more energetic. I am good at getting discouraged, having a rest and giving advice from the sidelines. She will cling(附着于)on to a wall like a small monkey trying to escape certain death, while I will get near the top, realize how high that is and lose my nerve. Together we could make an impressive（感人的；令人钦佩的） team, me at the bottom of the wall, going, "That's great, try using your feet one by one. Oh...What did you do that for?" And her going, "Shall we try that again so we've actually done it? Do you think we should have warmed up first?"Climbing muscles, being the same as regular muscles, are use-it-or-lose-it. I climbed more often before I did the crazy running activity and used to think of the green runs at my local center as being for children, or for a warm-up. Now I find them extremely hard, and the purple is my top-of-the-tree, when in fact they are both for beginners, really. I suspect the millennial of avoiding the blue-with-red-spots just so as to not show me up.It wasn't her first time climbing, but she wasn't registered at the center, so she had to go through a process that sounds threatening: watching a video and answering questions on it (the answers are always "I am responsible for my own safety in the center" and Holds may spin"). In an older person-me, for instance-any activity that starts with a reflection on your own death is a little low-energy, whereas she seemed quite excited by it.We both laughed at each other's clothing: she accused me of having, a pink T-shirt which seemed too lovely for me, while she was dressed to be a labourer. The moral is that you can basically wear anything while you climb. It's not like running, where the ill-dressed are chased from the area by a thousand eyes.1. We learn from Paragraph 1 that the author and the millennial .A．know each other very well B．try to learn how to escape deathC．form a sharp contrast D．make a team that beats others2. By “climbing muscles, being the same as regular muscles, are use-it-or-lose-it” the author means______.A．climbing does good to musclesB．climbing needs practicing regularlyC．climbing muscles are as useful as other musclesD．climbing muscles won’t be lost even if not used3. The question the millennial was required to answer were admitted to .A．let the climbers realize the climbing might be dangerousB．give the climbers another approach to think of deathC．warn the climbers against loss of energy in the processD．remind the climbers of the importance of registration4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A．Climbers need to wear special clothes.B．Ill-dressed runners stand out improperly.C．Climbers need to get a certificate before climbing.D．The author and millennial like making fun of others.3. In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭)or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can. And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak. Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t, pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.1. People will feel happy, according to the author's findings, when __________.A．they offer their help to others B．they receive others’ helpC．they feel others’ kindness to them D．they show their weakness to other people 2. Why does the author feel sad sometimes?A．Because he has a soft heart, showing sympathy to others.B．Because he is disabled and relies much on others.C．Because some people pretend to be kind, but in fact they are not.D．Because some people fail to see the kindness in others.3. What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?A．They sped up to pass because they didn’t want to wait.B．They stopped their cars to offer help.C．丁hey put on their flashlights too.D．They waited with patience.4. In this passage, the author advises us to _________.A．be independent of others and handle problems by ourselvesB．accept help from others for everythingC．admit our weaknessD．show our bravery4. Water is a necessity of life. Rain, especially, helps plants grow and stay green. But too much rain, especially in cities, can lead to flooding. That can cause waste water systems to overflow and send pollutants into rivers and other waterways. To fight the problem, several cities in the United States are starting programs like rooftop gardens.A team at the University of the District of Columbia in the nation's capital has created a garden on the top of one school building. The garden holds many kinds of plants to help absorb rainwater and grow food at the same time. Architect David Bell has designed five "green roofs" for the university. He says he is excited about the project because "it meant doing something more than just dealing with storm water management. It took advantage of a resource above the city and these flat roofs that aren't doing anything really became something that was about urban agriculture. " Rainwater is collected in large containers and sent through a system that waters the rooftop garden. The roof is filled with green life that appeals to insects.In cities, “you don't have that many spaces to choose from and so rooftops are just (unused) space," says Caitlin Arlotta. She is a student in the school's Urban Agriculture program. The project is part of a research program to see which plants do well on rooftops. The researchers are looking at plants including strawberries, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. The university also has other green spaces. "We also have our own farm experiments," A rlotta said. “ Within each of those growing systems, we want to be able to tell people which sorts of these crops grow the best. "Sandy Farber Bandier helps run UDC's Master Gardener program. It seeks to improve cities and make them beautiful by training people to become Master Gardeners. She says she's been surprised by the garden's output. ”My biggest surprise was that we produced 4, 250 pounds of produce the first year and was able to spread that to people in need. " She also likes being able to show people who live in D. C. and others beyond the nation's capital what and how food can be grown on a rooftop. “This is the future for food. You grow it here, you prepare it in a commercial kitchen, you distribute through farmers markets,food trucks, and then you recycle. "1. What do we know about the rooftop gardens?A．Rooftop gardens are very common in average neighborhoods.B．There are many sorts of plants there which help take in rainwater.C．They're playing an important role in the city's food supply.D．Rooftop gardens are no more than containers to collect rainwater.2. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A．Rooftops can offer enough space to plant crops.B．Many plants like strawberries can grow well on rooftops.C．Some univercity students are participating in the Urban Agriculture program.D．The plants in rooftop gardens are attractive to many insects.3. How does Sandy Farber Bandier feel about the future of rooftop gardens?A．Confident.B．Doubtful.C．Worried.D．Ambiguous.4. What is the best title for the text?A．Rainwater Necessity for Plant LifeB．Green Roofs-The Future of Urban AgricultureC．The United States' Agriculture ProgramD．Rooftop Gardens-Food Paradise5. Last week the electricity in my flat went out. 1 My typical evening is spent watching TV and scrolling (滚动) through social media. Tonight this wasn’t possible. My roommate and I weren’t prepared with candles and matches. We just rely on electricity.So for me it was an early night, 2 That night, losing our electricity felt like losing a basic necessity, as basic as running water. But really, electricity is a luxury that we’ve grown to take for granted. I use electricity all the time, even when it’s not really necessary.3 And as I’m writing this, I have my lights on, even in the middle of the day when I don’t really need them.4 It contributes to global warming. It is harming our environment and we need to do what we can to stop it. Not only that, but if we continue to use the same large amount of energy, we will soon run out of it.How would we survive in a world without electricity? Our daily lives go around it. We wouldn’t be able to function. 5 So, shouldn’t we start preparing for it now? Cutting down on our use of electricity would save energy resources so that they could last for longer. And if everyone does it, we can make a big difference.6. On a raining day, I wen t to buy some aspirin.
