I feel that it is my duty to tell you how much we women of this small town owe a lot of thanks to you. I am an officer in the District Women's Club and my husband is a doctor.We have a large house so as I do practically all my own housework, my duties are many. Still, I enjoy my housework and do not feel that I entirely lose out on life's pleasures. Right now, I hear my washing machine chugging （洗衣机运转声音）.The house is lighted by electricity. I cook on an electric stove and wash dishes in an electric dishwasher. I clean the house with electric cleaners. When I rest, I take an electric massage （按摩）.I forget I'm living in a tiny town. But I'm reminded when the automatic alarm in my stove rings and know my dinner is now cooking.The doctor comes home. He finds a wife not tired and dissatisfied. Instead, he sees a woman waiting, who has worked faithfully. She is now rested and ready to serve the tired man and discuss things of the day. Possibly he brings home a guest without warning, but electricity saves the day for the hostess.Please accept my appreciation, Mr. Edison, from the most truly grateful of women. I know you must have received the thanks of other women before but I believe men are like women after all and like to know that their work is appreciated. I do think the world is often not thankful enough for such work and the value of it.Sincerely.Mrs. W. C. Lathrop 21. What can we learn about the author?A. She is an officer.B. She lives downtown.C. She is badly in debt.D. She works in a hospital.22. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. The woman has a bad memory.B. The woman likes doing housework.C. The house is affected by power cuts.D. The washing machine is broken.23. Whafs the author's purpose of writing this letter?A. To give a reply.B. To make an apology.C. To ask for help.D. To express her thanks.BI use maps. Not the tiny, annoyingly limited ones on smartphones. I use real paper maps that you open from a rectangle and rarely refold properly. Maps you can take out to rapidly scan on the road in unfamiliar places. Paper maps are there for you every time you need them and need no recharging. They simply and dependably orient（指 方向）and inform.I've traveled in and out of the state with my grandson Connor often enough to have long since introduced him to this way of getting from place to place. His first response as an 8-year-old was "Grandma, just use the GPS." But that was no help since the one in my old Honda Fit was hopelessly out of date. As for a smartphone, I didn't own one. And so Connor is learning to use paper maps too. Opening one myself is akin to texting while driving, perhaps even more distracting（分散注意力的）fdr me. I've done it, but I've reformed.Our next trip will be to visit friends in Connecticut, and I've just picked up new copies of the state's road maps. I've yellow-highlighted our route from Providence, Rhode Island, to Old Saybrook and Durham in Connecticut, then back to Providence. It is a pretty familiar route for me, as I've spent multiple summers doing geologic fieldwork in the forests and the Connecticut River Valley. Still, I wouldn't think of driving without paper maps. It would be too out of character. It would be like traveling without a good book or a moral compass.Going over the route with now 13-year-old Connor so that he can follow along and occasionally answer a routing question while I'm driving may take some perseverance（毅力）on my part. He looks at road maps the same way he looks at my old college typewriter or my mom's Nokia phone. However, his next tutorial on navigating（导航）with paper is around the corner, and I'm determined that he should learn the ropes. By the time he's driving himself, I'll put new maps of India surrounding states in his car. Who knows when a cellphone might quit or a GPS system might stop working?I could really annoy Connor by informing him of directional signs from the sun, moon, and stars. But enough is enough for a teenager. For this next trip at least, we'll stay grounded in maps.24. What does the author like about paper maps?A. They can be neatly refolded.B. They can be easily carried.C. They are quite reliable.D. They are very cheap.25. What does the underlined word "akin" in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Difficult.B. Similar.C. Suitable.D. Dangerous.26. Why does the author need road maps during her next trip to Connecticut?A. She is unfamiliar with this place.B. She is used to driving with maps.C. Her grandson insists on bringing maps.D. Her geologic fieldwork requires maps.27. What will the author teach Connor during their next trip?A. How to drive a car.B. How to draw a map.C. How to use paper maps.D. How to navigate by the sun.CWhen you feel a sneeze or a cough coming on, covering your mouth prevents the spread of infectious germs（细菌）.You probably knew that. But the way you cover up also matters, and there are plenty of people who haven't yet heard the advice from health officials: If no tissue is available, you should aim into your elbow（肘部）, not your hand. Even if that means breaking a long-held habit.If somebody sneezes into their hands, that creates an opportunity for those germs to be passed on to other people, or pollute other objects that people touch, said Dr. Vincent Hill, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention（CDC）. Germs are most commonly spread by the respiratory droplets（呼吸道飞沫）produced from sneezing and coughing. These troublemakers are a real headache. When they land on your hands, they're passed on to things like door knobs（把手），lift buttons and other surfaces the people around you are likely to also touch.“You or your co-workers might be forgiven for not knowing that. The CDC guidance has become official only in the last 10 to 15 years," Dr. Hill said Dr. Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, said he began hearing the suggestion more often about 10 years ago. That means that adults may have missed the advice. Children, however, are frequently taught in school the proper way to cough or sneeze. Mary Anne, a professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine, traced the suggestion to sneeze into your arm to 2003, when SARS fears were widespread.To be clear, the method doesn't get rid of all risk. Studies have shown that even masks can't prevent all droplets from floating in the air. A drum that can never be beaten enough: Make sure you pay more visits to your bathroom sink and make your hands clean, Dr. Jackson suggested.28. According to Paragraph 1, what is the advice from health officials?A. Keep tissue at hand.B. Sneeze into your arm.C. Avoid coughing in front of other people.D. Cover your mouth with a hand when coughing.29. What does the underlined part "These troublemaker in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Bad habits.B. Polluted objects.C. Sneezing and coughing.D. The respiratory droplets.30. What do we know about the CDC guidance?A. It was made official in 2003.B. It was an idea of a SARS patient.C. It is relatively new to the public.D. It is hard to practice in schools.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Tips on buying outdoor solar lights（太阳能灯）As solar lighting is becoming useful for homes, many different such outdoor lights can now be found in supermarkets. Here are some helpful tips for customers.Does your area receive enough direct lighting?31_ So you shouldn't even give it a thought if you live in an area that doesn't get much sunlight. These lights need direct sunlight, or they just won't work very well.32The expensive one usually means good quality. Choosing the cheapest ones will result in many problems. For once, it's best to buy more expensive lights of high quality.33 At least you should know the difference between a $10 light and a $45 light.Buy lights that require less installation （安装）.Most solar lights are simply driven into the ground. Therefore, you shouldn't deal with the difficulty in installing a system that involves anything more than that.34 You don't need to buy lights that require halfan hour each to plant into the ground because that's just a waste of time.Make sure the lights can store enough energy.Different solar lights can store different amounts of energy.35 Therefore, you should choose lightsthat are able to store enough energy to last for quite a few hours or more, at least those that will last from nightfall throughout most of the night and part of the morning A.
