A
Suddenly another thought went through Kate's mind like an electric shock. An express train
was
due
to
go
past
about
thirty
minutes
later.
If
it
were
not
stopped,
that
long
train,
full
of
passengers,
would
fall
into
the
stream.
“Someone
must
go
to
the
station
and
warn
the

station-
master,” Kate thought. But who was to go? She would have to go herself. There was
no
one else.
In wind and rain she started on her difficult way. Soon she was at the bridge that crossed the
Des Moines River, a bridge also built of wood, just like the bridge across Honey Creek. The storm
had
not
washed
this
away,
but
there
was
no
footpath
across
it.
She
would
have
to
cross
it
by
stepping
from
sleeper
(
枕木
)
to
sleeper.
With
great
care
she
began
the
dangerous
crossing,
sometimes on her hands and knees, hardly daring to look down between the sleepers into the wild
flood
waters
below.
If
she
should
slip,
she
would
fall
between
the
sleepers,
into
the
rapidly
flowing stream.
At last
—
she never knew how long it had taken her
—
she felt solid ground under her feet. But
there was no time to rest. She still had to run more than half a mile and had only a few minutes left.
Unless she reached the station before the express did, many, many lives would be lost.
She did reach the station just as the train came into sight. Fortunately the station-master was
standing
outside.
“The
bridge
is
down!
Stop
the
train!
Oh,
please
stop
it!”
Kate
shouted

breathlessly.
The station-master went pale. He rushed into the station building and came back with a signal
light. He waved the red light as the train came into the station. It was not a second too early.

21. What did Kate decide to do?
A. Stop the express train.














B. Check the signal light.
C. Meet the passengers.















D. Visit the station-master.
22. Which of the following words best describes Kate's journey?
A. Fruitless.



B. Boring.



C. Well-planned.




D. Risky.
23. Why did the station-master tum pale?
A. He suddenly fell ill.

















B. He realized the danger.
C. He discovered his mistake.











D. He became over-excited.


B
The Crowne Plaza Hotel in Copenhagen is offering a free meal to any guest who is able to
produce electricity for the hotel on an exercise bike linked to a generator (
发电机
). The idea is to
get people fit and reduce their carbon footprint. Guests will have to produce at least 10 watt hours
of
electricity
—
roughly
15 minutes
of
cycling
for
someone of
average
fitness. Guests
staying
at
Plaza
Hotel
will
be
given
meal
tickets
worth
$$36
once
they
have
produced
10
watt
hours
of
electricity. The bicycles will have smart phones attached to the handlebars measuring how much
power is being generated for the hotel.

The plan, a world-first, will start on 19 April and run for a year. Only guests staying at the
hotel will be able to take part. Frederikke Toemmergaard, hotel spokeswoman, said,
“
Many of our
visitors are business people who enjoy going to the gym. There might be people who will cycle
just to get a free meal, but generally I don't think people will take advantage of
our programme.”


Copenhagen has a long- standing cycling tradition and 36% of locals cycle to work each day,
one of the highest percentages in the world, according to the website . US environmental website

recently
voted
Copenhagen
the
world's
best
city
for
cyclists.
“
Because
Copenhagen
is
strongly
connected
with
cycling,
we
felt
the
bicycle
would
work
well
as
a
symbol
of
the
hotel's
green
profile (
形象
).
”


If successful, the electric bicycle meal programme will be spread to all Crowne Plaza hotels
in the UK, the hotel said in a statement.


24. What is the main purpose of the free meal programme?
A. To promote the hotel's green concept.
B. To make the city known to the world.
C. To attract people to the hotel restaurant.
D. To get guests to stay longer at the hotel.
25. How can a participant get a free meal?
A. By becoming a professional cyclist.





B. By cycling to produce some electricity.
C. By linking a smart phone to a bicycle.



D. By monitoring his or her carbon footprint.
26. Who are most likely to enter for the programme?

A. The poor local people.

B. The environment activists.

C. Health-conscious hotel guests.

D. Visitors fond of Copenhagen food.
27. According to paragraph 3, Copenhagen has one of the world's ______.

A. best chain hotels












B. greenest natural environments
C. longest bike paths











D. highest rates of people cycling to work

Digital
technology
—
email
and
smart
phones
especially
—
have
vastly
improved
workers'
ability
to
be
productive
outside
of
a
traditional
office.
Even
so,
most
white-collar
work
still
happens in an office. One reason is that, according to findings of a new survey (
调查
) of office
workers conducted by Wakefield Research for the IT company Citrix, most bosses
are doubtful
about remote working. Half of the workers say their boss doesn't accept it, and only 35 percent say
it's tolerated,
Skeptical bosses will likely have their doubts reinforced (
加深
) by the same survey, which
shows that 43 percent of workers say they've watched TV or a movie
while “working”
remotely,
while 35 percent have done housework, and 28 percent have cooked dinner.
It
is
true,
however,
that
working
at
home
makes
people
much
more
efficient
(
高效的
),
because it allows workers to take care of annoying housework while still getting their jobs done.
It's much faster, for example, to shop for groceries at a quarter to three than to stand in line during
