13.Beijing is hardly alone in its air pollution problems.The world Health Organization has said that roughly half of the world's urban population is exposed to pollution at least 2.5 times higher than it recommends.
While it may take years to fix this global problem,innovative minds in the Asia region have come up with creative solutions for living with air pollution.
DIY Purifier
Thomas Talhelm started worrying about the air inside his Beijing home during"airpocalypse"(空氣末日) in 2013 when Beijing's air quality index skyrocketed to a terrifying 755.
The scholar couldn't afford the luxury of an expensive air purifier."Filters (過濾器) are actually very simple-a high efficient filter is all you need to get over 96% of the PM2.5,"he said.
With three of his friends,Talhelm created Smart Air,an air purifier consisting of a basic household fan with a high efficient filter attached to it.
It works as efficiently as the big brands selling for thousands of dollars,removing more than 90 percent of PM2.5 in your room,according to Talhelm's research.
Invisible Mask
Infipure's"nose mask"claims to cut 99% of PM2.5 without the trouble of a surgical face mask.
The filters,made from special materials,are inserted into your nose and aim to be undetectable.
"People care about their health,but don't want all the downsides that come with a traditional face mask,"Infipure co-founder Francis Law explained.
Plant Backpack
Taiwanese artist Chui Chih has designed a survival device for an apocalyptic world.
Named Voyage on the Planet,a potted plant is housed inside a clear backpack hooked up to two tubes to bring fresh air to a face mask.It's a bold,abstract idea from an oxygen tank.
Smog Vacuum
Daan Roosegaarde has been working on a smog vacuum that will suck pollutants from the sky to the ground like a vacuum,making way for clean air.
A byproduct of this smog vacuum,namely The Smog Free Tower,is the"smog ring"-a piece of jewelry made from smog particulates(微粒).
"The pollution we suck up,the small particulates,we don't throw them away.We put them under pressure for a couple of weeks and they crystallize,creating something like a diamond,"Roosegaarde explains.
 
70.Thomas Talhelm invented Smart Air for all the following reasons exceptD.
A.the high price of the big brands
B.the help from three of his friends
C.the poor quality of the indoor air
D.the simple principle behind the device
71.If someone wants to travel around in those polluted days,which product will he most probably choose for the sake of convenience?B
A.Smart Air.
B.Infipure's nose mask.
C.Voyage on the Planet.
D.The Smog Free Tower.
72.In which solution the inventor also makes use of the dust collected from the polluted air?D
A.DIY Purifier.
B.Invisible Mask.
C.Plant Backpack.
D.Smog Vacuum.

8.Have you heard of the"Doomsday(世界末日)clock"?
While the name sounds particular enough to draw our attention,there is no way to actually predict doomsday.The clock is a visual way of representing the dangers our world faces and the urgency to act-with midnight symbolizing doomsday.
The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists,the organization that maintains(維護)the clock,decided to keep the clock at 3minutes to midni-the same as last year.Despite the Iran nuclear deal that weakened the threat(威脅)of nuclear war,the organization continues to worry about the lack of progress on other global issues of concern.
The clock was created nearly 70years ago by a group of scientists who had worked on the Manhattan project-that created the world's first atomic bomb.The bombs were dropped on two Japanese cities.Though it brought an end to one of the worst wars in human history,the bombs also exposed the world to the dangers of nuclear technology.
One of the nuclear physicists on the Manhattan project was married to an artist named Martyl Kangsdorf.It was Martyl's idea to create a clock and set the hand to seven minutes to midnight when it first created.
Since then,the clock has been a powerful way to show humanity how close the world is to catastrophe due to human action.To maintain this clock,every year twenty members of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists gather together and assess the biggest threats to humanity.When scientists looked back at the events of 2015.two significant threats continued to exist-climate change and investment in nuclear weapons by various nations around the world.
According to the scientists,we may be able to avoid disaster if humanity reduces spending on nuclear weapons,sharply reduces greenhouse gases,deals with commercial nuclear waste,and makes agreements to prevent the misuse of new technologies.

32.The Doomsday clock was created forD.
A.reminding people of the painful past
B.correcting time to the same standard
C.predicting the doomsday of the world
D.warning humanity of the urgent threats
33.What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 4refer to?C
A.The doomsday clock.         B.The first atomic bomb.
C.Dropping the atomic bombs.  D.The Manhattan project.
34.What are considered the most urgent threats that today's world faces?A
A.Climate change and nuclear weapons.
B.High-tech war and space research.
C.Extreme poverty and serious diseases.
D.Natural disasters and low birth rate.
35.What can be inferred from this passage?D
A.Human beings have no way to deal with their urgent threats.
B.The world will continuously face more threats whatever we do.
C.Martyl created the Doomsday clock just to amuse local citizens.
D.Most threats we face now are actually caused by humanity itself.

8.Parents divorced,little Buddy was in the care of his mother's large Alabama family.Over the years,Buddy seldom saw either of his parents.But he was happy where he was and he had many kindly relatives,among whom Miss Sook was by far his best friend.Before Christmas,Buddy's father had managed to get legal custody(法定監(jiān)護) of him for this Christmas.So,he had a new suit,with a card pinned with his name and address and made the trip alone,by bus,to New Orleans.
Several things occurred that kept me awake the whole night.First,the footfalls,the noise of my father running up and down the stairs,breathing heavily,I had to see what he was up to.So I hid and watched.There was a Christmas tree and the fireplace downstairs.Moreover,I could see my father.He was crawling around under the tree arranging a pyramid of packages.I felt dizzy,for what I saw forced me to reconsider everything.If these were presents intended for me,then obviously they had not been ordered by the Lord and delivered by Santa Claus; no,they were gifts bought and wrapped by my father,which meant that my rotten little cousin Billy Bob and other rotten kids like him weren't lying when they laughed at me and told me there was no Santa Claus.The worst thought was:Had Sook known the truth,and lied to me?No,Sook would never lie to me.She believed.It was just that-well,though she was sixty-something,in some ways she was at least as much of a child as I was.
I waited until I was sure he was in bed and sound asleep.Then I crept downstairs and examined the tags attached to each of the packages.They all said:"For Buddy."I decided to open the packages:It was Christmas morning.I was awake,so why not?I won't bother to describe what was inside them:just shirts and sweaters and dull stuff like that.The only thing I appreciated was a toy gun.Somehow I got the idea it would be fun to waken my father by firing it.So I did.Bang.Bang.Bang.He raced out of his room,wild-eyed,Bang.Bang.Bang."Buddy-what the hell do you think you're doing?"Bang.Bang.Bang."Stop that!"I laughed."Look,Daddy.Look at all wonderful things Santa Claus brought me."
Calm now,he walked into the room and hugged me."You like what Santa Claus brought you?"
I smiled at him.He smiled at me.There was a tender lingering (逗留不去的) moment,damaged when I said:"Yes.But what are you going to give me,Daddy?"His smile evaporated.His eyes narrowed suspiciously-you could see that he thought I was pulling some kind of trick.But then he blushed,as though he was ashamed to be thinking what he was thinking.He patted my head,and coughed and said:"Well,I thought I'd wait and let you pick out something you wanted.Is there anything particular you want?"
I reminded him of the airplane we had seen in the toy store on Canal Street.His face sagged.Oh,yes,he remembered the airplane and how expensive it was.Nevertheless,the next day I was sitting in that airplane dreaming I was zooming toward heaven while my father wrote out a check for a happy salesman,who promised to help ship the plane on the bus.
But I wasn't free of New Orleans yet.The problem was a large bottle of wine; maybe it was because of my departure,but anyway my father had been drinking it all day,and on the way to the bus station,he scared me by grabbing my wrist and harshly whispering:"I'm not going to let you go.I can't let you go back to that crazy family in that crazy old house.Just look at what they've done to you.A boy six,almost seven,talking about Santa Claus!It's all their fault,all those sour old spinsters with their Bibles and their knitting needles,those drunken uncles.Listen to me,Buddy.There is no God!There is no Santa Claus."He was squeezing my wrist so hard that it ached."Kiss me.Please.Please.Kiss me.Tell your daddy that you love him."But I couldn't speak.I was terrified I was going to miss my bus.And I was worried about my plane,which was strapped to the top of the taxi."Say it:‘I love you.'Say it.Please.Buddy.Say it."
It was lucky for me that our taxi-driver was a good-hearted man.Because if it hadn't been for his help,and the help of some efficient porters and a friendly policeman,I don't know what would have happened when we reached the station.My father was so drunk he could hardly walk,but the policeman talked to him,quieted him down,helped him to stand straight,and the taxi-man promised to take him safely home.But my father would not leave until he had seen the porters put me on the bus.
Once I was on the bus,I crouched in a seat and shut my eyes.I felt the strangest pain.A crushing pain that hurt everywhere.I thought if I took off my heavy city shoes,those crucifying monsters,the agony would ease.I took them off,but the mysterious pain did not leave me.In a way it never has; never will.
Twelve hours later I was home in bed.The room was dark.Sook was sitting beside me,rocking in a rocking chair,a sound as soothing (令人舒暢的) as ocean waves.I had tried to tell her everything that had happened,and only stopped when I was hoarse (嘶啞的) as a howling dog.She stroked her fingers through my hair,and said:"Of course there is a Santa Clause.It's just that no single somebody could do all he has to do.So the Lord has spread the task among us all.That's why everybody is Santa Claus.I am.You are.Even you cousin Billy Bob.Now go to sleep.Count stars.Think of the quietest thing.Like snow.I'm sorry you didn't get to see any.But now snow is falling through the stars-"Stars sparkled,snow whirled inside my head; the last thing I remembered was the peaceful voice of the Lord telling me something I must do.And the next day I did it.I went with Sook to the post office and bought a penny postcard.That same postcard exists today.It was found in my father's safety deposit box when he died last year.Here is what I had written him:Hello pop hope you are well I am and I am turning to pedal my plane so fast I will soon be in the sky so keep your eyes open and yes I love you Buddy.

56.When Buddy asked his Daddy for Christmas presents,his father's reaction suggested thatB.
