For Sean Patel to open his hotel to locals in need during the storm and power outage, at Christmastime and for just $25 (the lowest price the corporate regulations wou

21、h.B“They tell me that youd like to make a statue of me is that correct, Miss Vinnie Ream?”The deep, gentle voice helped calm the nervous girl. Asking a favor of the President of the United States was no casual matter, especially for a seventeen-year-old girl.“Yes, sir,” she replied, her dark eyes me
22、eting his. “I wouldnt have dared to ask you, but my teacher, Mr. Mills, says I am ready. I plan to make it in an admirable manner.”President Lincoln smiled. “Painters, sculptors theyve all tried to make the best of this ordinary face, but Im afraid there not much hope. What did you have in mind, Mis
23、s Ream? A bust (半身像)?”Before Vinnie could say yes, the President hurried on, a shade of apology in his voice. “Of course I shouldnt have asked. A full-length pose would be much too big, a project for a young woman your size.”Vinnies face turned red. She realized she looked like a child, with her tin
24、y figure. “Small does not mean weak, sir,” she defended herself. “I was born in the country of Wisconsin. Ive driven teams of horses and carried water. Making a full-length clay (黏土) figure would not exhaust my strength and that is what I intend to do!”The Presidents eyes brightened at her show of s
25、pirit. “Sorry, madam, I have underestimated you as I didnt know your background.”But his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bony fingers in thought. “Miss Ream,” he sighed, “Id like to let you do it, but as you know, we are in the middle of a war. How could I possibly take the time to pose for
26、a sculpture now? I hardly have a minute to myself.”Vinnie glanced around and noted the size of his office. “I work quickly,” she said. Her voice was soft but confident as she pointed to the corner near the windows. “If I were to bring my clay here and work for three hours every afternoon, I could co
27、mplete most of the project while you are at your desk.”The President seemed to consider her idea seriously. He got up and shook Vinnies hand warmly. “Ive heard that you are a talented young woman, and I have found you charming and intelligent as well. I cannot make my decision immediately, but you w
28、ill hear from me soon.”The very next day, Vinnie received an invitation from the President.19. What gave Vinnie confidence to make her request of President Lincoln?A. Her aggressive personality.B.

Ups and downs make one strong.D. Devotion requires enthusiasm.CImagine how youd feel if you had to get more than 9,000 tons of jun
31、k out to the sidewalk. Thats how much trash is floating around in space. In fact, theres about 4 million pounds flying over our heads in low-Earth orbit. Daan, a Dutch artist, and his team at Space Waste Lab have come up with a creative plan that could clear up space junk in a spectacular fashion.Mo
32、st space waste comes from dead satellites and rockets. Functioning satellites are the backbone of the information systems that keep our world running smoothly. But all the satellites eventually become obsolete within just a few decades. When they die out, theres the problem of them drifting in outer
33、 space, collecting in what scientists call the “graveyard orbit”.Maybe youre thinking, “Why should I care about garbage 12,500 miles above me?” Well, all that fun stuff that satellites help beam down to us mobile games, Instagram, cat videos could be shut down by space waste. Lots of old junk floati
34、ng around up there, plus new satellites added each year, means more and more high-speed collisions (碰撞). And when chunks of junk crash into one another, they break apart into millions of pieces, quickly building up speed and turning into fast-moving objects, which are dangerous to operational satell
35、ites as well as astronauts working on the International Space Station.Space waste is a problem thats escalated so much that some scientists say that by 2050 well be forced to stop launching new spacecraft altogether, including new satellites. Think about that for a minute. When the last satellites f
36、inally become disused, GPS, cell phones, and the Internet will no longer function.So we have to find a way to deal with this space garbage, and Daan pictures a sort of trash pickup, which involves groups of small spacecraft casting large nets into orbit that would collect space debris(碎片) and send i
37、t back toward Earth at top speed. Heres the best part while reentering Earths atmosphere, the pieces of junk would burn up all at once, creating a light show similar to hundreds of shooting stars falling in the night sky. A spectacle indeed!To get ready for such an amazing effort, Space Waste Lab ha
38、s been traveling to major cities across Europe and enlightening the public on the problem of the junk in space. But Daan doesnt just talk about ways to relieve the problem hes created something a little grander than that. In October 2018, his team launched Space Waste Lab Performance, an outdoor art
39、 exhibition that shows the location of each piece of space trash using large lasers that make each debris look a bit like a star wandering slowly and silently over the sky, allowing viewers to wave and say, “Hello, space trash!”23. According to the passage, which sentence best replaces the question
40、mark in the diagram?A. There is more junk floating in space each year as new satellites are added.B. Satellites can help people track the weather and find new locations.C. Working satellites can be damaged and astronauts can be hurt.D. The Space Waste Lab Performance can show people where satellites
41、 are located.24. Which of the following best supports the idea that space waste should be dealt with very soon?A. Sentence B. Sentence C. Sentence D. Sentence 25. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Space Junk Harms Digital SystemsB. Test of Waste Collection NetsC. A New
42、 Glimpse into Outer SpaceD. Artists Proposal to Save Space26. Whats the writers attitude towards Daans project?A. Critical.B. Indifferent.C. Neutral.D. Approving.DTime and how we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendu
43、lum (钟摆) and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the distinction observed, When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours. Psychologists have
44、long noticed that larger units of time such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age. They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass. For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach.Expectation and
45、 familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere weve never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when well arrive, we experience the trip as lasing a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as
46、 long, seems to take far less time. The novelty of the outward journey has become routine.When days become as identical as beads (小珠子)on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single day. To counter this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day- to stop time, so to spe
47、ak.Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems to be full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesnt have to be.27. What is the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 used to show?A. Psychological time is quite puzzling.B. Time should not be measured by a pendulum.C. Physical time is different from psychological timeD. Physical theory has nothing to do with the t
