A butterfly-shaped island in the central Aegean hopes to become Greece's -first-carbon-free tourist destinatio
n. Under a deal with the government, Volkswagen, a carmaker, has donatcd several new electric vehicles for use by A
stypalea's public services; it will sell others at cos t price to its 1,200 year-round residents.In return, the gov
ernment has offered more financial assistance for islanders to buy electric cars and will build a solar and wind-fu
elled power plant to replace polluting generators.
Unlike other nearby islands, Astypale a is not connected to Greece's electricity providers. With only 3,000roo
ms for visitors in small hotels or flats, tourism is still low-key. Many residents make a living the old-fashioned
way: raising goats, keeping bees and fishing. The island was selected for Volkswagen's experiment after Nikos Kom
ineas, the go-ahead mayor, contacted the transport ministry for help in finding an electric bus to try out on its
rough roads.
Most islanders sound keen on the project. Mr Komineas expects the number of private cars on Astypalea to fall
by a third over the next five years. Its residents, he says, will get around on electric minibuses, which will be
free, linked to a mobile-phone app and available round the clock.
Some observers smell green washing in the project, A bi d for a solar park that would generate half the island
's electricity within three years will not get under way before the tourist season ends. A single wind-fuelled engi
ne will be set up only in 2026, assuming the licensing process goes smoothly. That is not normally the case in the
Aegean, where islanders worry that tourists will go else where if the view is spoiled by an engine 200 meters high.
And even then, the solar and wind-fulled power unit is planned to cover only about80% of summer demand. But it is
a start.
24. Why has the deal been signed?
A. To control car prices. B. To help generate electricity.
C. To promote public transport. D. To build a zero-carbon island.
25. What makes Astypale a different from other nearby islands?
A. It has an aggressive leader. B. It is out of the national electricity network.
C. It is a crowded tourist destination. D. It has various goats, bees and fishes.
26. What can be inferred from the text?
A. The experiment will come to nothing.
B. There are barriers in conducting the project.
C. Green tourism will become a trend in Greece.
D. The islanders are unwilling to change their lifestyle.
1 What does the author think of the project?
A. It's pioneering. B. It's practical. C. It's destructive. D. It's costly.

There are some 7,000 languages spoken worldwide, each unique, using different sounds, vocabularies and str
uctures. Charles the Great said:“To have a second language is to have a second soul.”This begs the question:D
oes the language we speak shape who we are? As it turns out, yes.
In societies such as the United States or Western Europe, self-expression and language exactness are valu
ed. Asian cultures, on the other hand, prefer an indirect form of communication. Words like“perhaps”and“may
be” are used more than “yes” or“no”. Americanism takes an informal approach to communication.Therefope, i
t's OK to refer to a stranger or the boss as“you”. However, the Thai language has 12 forms of the same prono
un, choosing one depends on status(身份). In this way, languages are essential in leading any culture, be that
our own or otherwise.
People who speak different languages notice different things, depending on the constructs of their mother
tongue. Take an accident. In English, it's OK to say:“She broke the glass.”But in a language like Spanish,y
ou'd probably go with:“The, glass, broke.” The same incident produces two different responses. English speak
ers will remember who’s at fault, because their language asks them to, while Spanish speakers are more likely
to remember it was an accident. This has real consequences, especially when it comes to crime and punishment.
Professor Jim Cummins has written extensively on mother tongues. For Cumminds, the stronger our home lang
uage, the easier it is for us to learn others. Of course, research also shows that being bilingual(双语的)give
s people many advantages in life. Linguist Julien Leyre writes that learning another language develops our abi
lity to“understand the men tal world of another person, based on the language they use, and how that world is
different from our own.”
Our mother tongue is central to how we think, what we know and who we are. Like us, languages are living
things that change over time and must be cared for to survive. By doing so, we protect not just the linguistic
structures or vocabularies we use, but the culture, knowledge and power behind them.
28. Why does the author mention“Americanism”and“the Thai language” in Paragraph 2?
A. To tell the cultural differences between them.
B. To indicate a language is a guide to a culture.
C. To stress American expressions are informal.
D. To reveal a language is associated with status.
29. How will English speakers react to an accident?
A. They will seek blame. B. They will punish others.
C. They will avoid responsibility. D. They will draw a lesson from it.
30. What does Julien Leyre think about bilinguals?
A. They enjoy a more colorful life. B. They can remain mentally healthy.
C. They find it easier to lear n a language. D. They can gain insight into others' minds.
31. Which one can be the best title for the text?
A. How do languages differ? B. Will your language be extinct?
C. Why does our mother tongue matter? D. Should we speak a second language?
D
