第一部分阅读(共两节，满分 50 分)第一节(共15 小题;每小题 2. 5 分，满分 37. 5 分)阅读下列

短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Whether we live in an urban studio, or a modest-size home filled with people, space in our homes can be hard

to come by. Even without a lot of stuff, keeping everything organized presents a challenge. To make the most of the

space you have, incorporate these clever ideas that may help.

Double up. Consider multipurpose for every piece of furniture. Buying a coffee table? Get one with storage

drawers beneath, or use a large basket topped with a pretty serving tray instead. If you need a bench, choose one

that includes under-seat storage for, say, some magazines.

Get high. Always consider vertical (32H J) space. Shelves high on walls can store books, photo albums or

holiday decorations. Hanging hooks for pots and pans can give you back whole kitchen cabinets, and hooks on

walls provide a spot for jackets, belts or keys. Shadow boxes on bathroom walls can house pretty perfume bottles,

lotions and toiletries.

Sink a basket. Baskets can help organize every area of your home. You can toss hardware tools, all the kids’

toys or several pairs of sandals in large baskets. Stick small containers in kitchen drawers to keep pens, rubber

bands, stickers and magnifying glass organized.

Top drawer. A set of drawers beneath stairs can make use of otherwise-wasted floor space especially for

articles not, so often used. DIY Life offers instructions for three ways of adding under-stair storage. Get them at

naturalhomeand garden.com/smart-storage.

1. What is the purpose of “double up”?

A. To make use of space on the wall. B. To leave more space on the floor.

C. To keep small articles in drawers. D. To generate more functions of furniture.

2. Which can be a good solution to storing rarely-used items?

A. Double up. B. Get high. C. Sink a basket. D. Top drawer.

3. Where is the text probably from?

A. A magazine. B. An advertisement.

A news report. D. A tour guidebook.

An important life lesson that I’ve drawn from running is to run at my own pace. It has guided me in many

ways. In particular, it made me challenge the fixed expectations of retirement and aging.

Running is a metaphor (隐喻) for life. I realized this while training for a marathon to celebrate my 60th

birthday. All the other runners being faster than me made me embarrassed. But my coach shared some valuable

advice; run at your own best pace. Setting a goal or target time could be a limitation. He was right. Over time, I ran

more easily and faster. I also enjoyed the experience much more.

I have applied this principle to other areas of my life. Finding a rhythm is not about efficiency or how many

things I can get done in a day. It has more to do with what I decide to do at this stage in my life.

Running carries its own set of expectations, including what it means to be a strong runner. But expectations

also extend to other areas of life, including what people at certain life stages should be doing or not doing.

Expectations at my age can center on how leisure time is spent, decisions about employment, and even the role of a

grandmother.

I used to think it was young people who bore peer pressure, but it’s easy to view retirement as another

occupation with benchmarks (基准) to be met. We often make what someone else does the reference point. It’s a

comparison trap.

Forget what others are doing. Their pace is not necessarily the pace you should run at. Run in your own way.

It’s not better or worse — only different.

4. What does the author intend to tell in paragraph 2?

A. The origin of a life principle. B. Her misunderstanding of running.

C. The importance of life expectations. D. Her unpleasant training experience.

5. What does the author think about life expectations?

A. They are vital for retired people. B. They vary at different life stages.

C. They cover every decision in life. D. They are usually too high to fulfill.

6. What can we infer from paragraph 5?

A. Young people often compete with old people. B. Retired people take up bad occupations.

C. Retired people are also under peer pressure. D. A comparison trap makes young people stronger.

7. What message does the author mainly want to convey?

A. Retirement can’t stop old people’s dreams.

B. People should live life to the fullest.

C. People should live at their own speed.

D. Running at a fixed pace is beneficial to retired people.

Today, battery power per kilowatt hour costs around only ten per cent of what it did a decade ago. And the

expectation is that the costs will continue to fall, because battery chemistry improves and manufacturing ( 批量生

产) lots of batteries on a massive scale makes the production of individual batteries cheaper.

You can be forgiven for thinking that this might only be of interest to accountants

but the possible effects

of this are enormous, and will benefit all of us. First and most obviously, it has made the batteries in electric cars

cheaper and longer-lasting. And brilliantly, because electric batteries are improving so dramatically, we can already

see the results. Last September, 15 per cent of all-new vehicle registrations were pure electric vehicles. So the

change is starting to happen.

Better batteries does not just mean better cars however. They can also help us decarbonise the entire national

grid ( 输电网). Storing energy has always been a problem for the grid. Today, only a tiny amount of generated

electricity is stored for later use, which leads to lots of power going to waste. But better batteries make it

technologically and economically viable to store large amounts of energy from the grid.

It’s possible that in the not-too-distant future, we might have an enormous battery in the garage. It would take

power from the grid (or maybe even solar panels on the roof), and power appliances and lights in our homes at the

times when demand for electricity is high. Home batteries are not yet as established as electric cars » but-they are

also growing in popularity.

So, given how much technology has improved batteries over the last decade, I can’t help but be strangely

optimistic about the future. Batteries may not be as flashy ( 华丽的) as phones, rockets or other new technologies.

But when it comes to technology to fight climate change, they’re definitely leading the charge.

8. What contributes to the popularity of electric cars?

A. The production of individual batteries.

B. The longer duration and less cost of batteries.

C. Accountants’ interest in cheaper batteries.

D. The increasing vehicle registrations.

9. What does the underlined word “viable” mean in paragraph 3?
