Struggling in the US? Move to China! I graduated from the university with a degree of civil engineering. It is a good field but my heart was not in it. I wanted to be an actor or work in the entertainment industry…living a creative life. My choice of civil engineering was really a mistake but I realized too late. As soon as I graduated, I moved straight to Los Angeles---the home of the film and television industry!

For three years, I tried to get a job in that field. I often worked as an extra in movies and TV shows---standing in the background while actors are in the foreground. This was fun for a while, but I wanted a real acting job, where I was speaking! Sadly, in Los Angeles, there is too much competition. Every race and age is represented: old, young, black, white, Asian and thousands of blondish-red haired Midwestern types like me. Being an extra couldn’t make enough money for me to live in LA. I had to do something else for money.

After three years of trying, I gave up my dream of being an actor and started a different career. I then tried network-marketing, but in the end, that failed. Seven years after graduating from college, I was still in debt, still searching for a satisfactory life. I decided to go back to civil engineering.

However, I was starting to get very disappointed with my life. Why is life not like what I expected? I expected to have made a lot of money, gotten married, with a house and nice cars, kids, time freedom, etc. Millions of people lead lives with their dreams shelved, existing but not really living. I want to my life to be different, more satisfactory, more alive. America was not providing that for me.

In addition, America was too expensive---always worrying about money was a headache. I wanted a life with adventure, romance, friendships, successes, and dreams realized.

I decided to move to China.

53. Which word best describe the writer’s attitude toward life?

A. Passive B. Practical C. Positive. Disappointed.

54. What does the underlined sentence mean?

A. A lot of people are living but they are not enjoying their life.

B. A lot of people are living with dreams though their life is not enjoyable.

C. A lot of people give up their dreams and yet are living a good life.

D. A lot of people are struggling for and suffering from their dreams.

55. The hero’s life is not like what he expected. This is because _________.

A. he chose the wrong major in the university B. he often changes his jobs

C. he has his expectations from life D. He has moved to China

56. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Life is easier in China B. Life in the US has too much competition

C. “I” am enjoying life in China D. More Americans will move to China

An early invention by Albert Einstein has been rebuilt by scientists at Oxford University. They are trying to develop an environmentally friendly refrigerator that runs without electricity.

We all know that modern fridges cause damage to the environment. They work by using a kind of man-made greenhouse gas called Freon, which is far more damaging than carbon dioxide.

Now Malcolm McCulloch, an electrical engineer at Oxford, is leading a three-year project to develop appliances that can be used in places without electricity.

His team has completed a model machine of a fridge patented in 1930 by Einstein. It used only pressurized gases to keep things cold. The design was partly used in the first refrigerators, but the technology was dropped when more efficient compressors (压缩机) became popular in the 1950s. That meant a switch to using Freon.

Einstein’s idea uses butane (a gas) and water and takes advantage of the fact that liquids boil at lower temperatures, when the air pressure around them is lower.

“If you go to the top of Mount Qomolangma, water boils at a much lower temperature than it does when you’re at sea level and that’s because the pressure is much lower up there,” said McCulloch.

At one side is the evaporator (蒸发器), a bottle that contains liquid butane. “If you introduce a new vapor above the butane, the liquid boiling temperature decreases and, as it boils off, it takes energy from the surroundings to do so,” says McCulloch. “That’s what makes it cold.”

The gas fridges based on Einstein’s design were replaced by Freon-compressor fridges partly because Einstein’s design was not very efficient. But McCulloch thinks that by changing the design and replacing the types of gases used it will be possible to greatly increase the efficiency.

However, McCulloch’s fridge is still in its early stages. “It’s very much a model machine,” he said. “Give us another month and we’ll have it working.”

57. According to the passage, an early invention by Albert Einstein _______.

A. has been rediscovered because it costs much less and works more efficiently

B. is being redesigned because it could be used in places without electricity

C. has just been found to be energy-saving and environmentally friendly

D. will be fully made use of and become the fridge of the future

58. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A. Freon was used in fridges long before the 1950s.

B. Freon is what makes current fridges big polluters.

C. McCulloch thinks he could improve Einstein’s design by using other types of vapors.

D. The fridge that Malcolm McCulloch and his team designed will be put into production soon.

59. We can learn from the text that the model machine completed _______.

A. changed the air pressure around it

B. was tested on the top of Mount Everest

C. increased the liquid boiling temperature

D. used only pressurized gases to keep things cold

60. McCulloch’s words in Paragraph 6 _____.

A. serve as an explanation for the principle behind Einstein’s fridge

B. give you the reason why Einstein's fridge was not efficient

C. tell you how to take advantage of low air pressure

D. show you how Einstein’s fridge works

作文参考范文

Nowadays a lot of schools keep their students in school all day long. Students have different opinions about it.

Some students think they enjoy less freedom and have little chance to get exposed to society. They are not able to fully develop their interests and hobbies. Therefore, they have less interest in their studies. Others think schools are the best place to get knowledge, a place where they can learn whole-heartedly without any disturbance. Some students, not mature enough, lack the ability to control themselves. Once out of school, they may lose control of themselves and do something bad that will affect their studies.

Personally, it is necessary to keep students at school; at the same time schools should also organize various activities for students to enjoy their school life.
