【題目】 Umbrellas are certainly one of life’s necessary helpers. But as anyone ever caught in a heavy rain will tell you, they’re far from perfect. So, many creative designers made efforts to challenge. Here are three unusual umbrellas that can solve the rainy day problems:

Senz

Problem: Common umbrellas love to invert(翻轉(zhuǎn)) when it’s windy.

The Senz umbrella changes the found shape into the one that is long in the back and short in the front. The design is much stronger against even strong against even strong winds, and according to their tests, it won 't invert in a windy storm

Kazbrella

Problem: Once closed, umbrellas drip(滴水)all over everything and they need a lot of room to open up.

The Kazbrella tries to solve this problem. It opens in a special way. When closed, it looks like the common umbrella upside down, but when it opens, it is similar to the common one. The design allows the wet side of the umbrella to be inside once you fold it. As a result, getting in and out of your car is not a problem. You can close Kazbrella into the smallest space of a car door, remaining dry.

Rain shield

Problem: Rain can hit you from all directions.

In the face of a heavy rainstorm, a little more surface area would be a big help. So the Rain Shield has been given an extension(延伸)to one side, giving the protection from the side way rain and lowering the risk of being invert. And its bendy (彎曲)design means it is easy to take.

Don't you think that these umbrellas are fascinating? The good news is that you can buy Sen and Kazbrellas in London now.

【題目】 He was a poet known for the nostalgia he describes in his poems. Now, it’s time for us to express our nostalgia for this great writer.

On Dec 14, 2017, the famous Chinese poet Yu Guangzhong passed away in Taiwan.

Born in 1928 in Nanjing, Jiangsu, Yu studied in Sichuan when he was young. At that time, he had showed great interest in Chinese poems and spent a lot of his free time trying writing poems himself. Then he managed to publish his first poem at the age of 20. A year later, Yu and his family moved to Taiwan. He lived and worked there until his death.

Nostalgia (《鄉(xiāng)愁》) is Yu’s masterpiece in which he expresses his homesickness for the Chinese mainland when he was in Taiwan.

Published in 1971, the poem remains highly popular among Chinese speakers worldwide. Even those who know little about literature (文學(xué)) are familiar with lines from the poem. The poem is included in Chinese high school textbooks.

Besides his achievements in poetry, Yu was also a successful essay writer, critic and translator.

He once translated English poet Siegfried Sassoon’s poem In Me, Past, Present, Future Meet into Chinese. It is regarded as an accurate and powerful translation, in which the most famous line is “心有猛虎，細(xì)嗅薔薇” for “In me the tiger sniffs the rose”.

Yu spent his whole life writing. “The reason why I stick to writing till today comes down to my passion for the Chinese language,” he once said in a 2015 interview. He then added that this passion was strengthened by his love for his mother and his motherland.

Now, let’s appreciate the poem Nostalgia.

Nostalgia

When I was young,

Nostalgia was a tiny, tiny stamp,

Me on this side,

Mother was on the other side.

When I grew up,

Nostalgia was a narrow boat ticket,

Me on this side,

Bride on the other side.

But later on,

Nostalgia was a low grave,

Me on the outside,

Mother on the inside.

And at present,

Nostalgia becomes a shallow strait,

Me on this side,

Mainland on the other side.

【題目】

Wind power is a very clean source of energy. This is how wind power works. Wind makes windmills spin (旋轉(zhuǎn)). When the windmills spin, they make electricity. Then we can use the electricity. A lot of people think that wind power is new, but that’s not true. For thousands of years, people have used wind to sail boats and move water. We still do those things today, but these days we mostly use wind power to make electricity.

Wind power is a very popular source of energy. Most people think that we should use it more and more. First of all, it’s clean. Windmills don’t pollute the environment at all. Second, we can use wind power forever. After all, we will always have wind. Also, wind power is cheap, and it’s getting even cheaper.

A lot of people don’t understand wind power very well. They believe that there are problems with wind power, but many of those problems are not real. For example, some people say that windmills are dangerous for birds. They used to be true, but it isn’t true anymore. Old windmills killed birds because they spun very fast. New windmills spin slowly, and they aren’t dangerous for birds.

However, there are real problems with windmills. One problem is that many people think windmills are very ugly. This is a problem for people, because windmills are often in very pretty areas. Also, wind doesn’t blow all the time, so we can’t use wind power all the time. Finally, windmills are noisy.

Wind power is becoming more and more common. Right now, more than 80 countries use wind power. About 2.5 percent of the world’s power comes from the wind. For some countries, that number is a lot higher. Wind power gives Denmark more than 25 percent of its electricity.

【1】Why DON’T new windmills kill birds? Because .

A. birds don’t fly near themB. they spin slowly

C. they are shorter than old windmillsD. new windmills don’t spin

【2】When did people start using wind power?

A. About 25 years ago.B. About 80 years ago.

C. About 500 years ago.D. Over 1,000 years ago.

【3】 , so we CAN’T use wind power all the time.

A. Windmills break all the timeB. We can’t use windmills at night

C. Windmills are too expensive to use all the timeD. Wind doesn’t blow all the time

【4】What does the article say about wind power?

A. Most people don’t like it.B. It’s getting cheaper.

C. Denmark doesn’t use it.D. It’s getting more expensive.

【5】What is the best title for the passage?

A. Expensive WindmillsB. Cheap and Clean Energy

C. Popular and Clean Wind PowerD. Dangerous Birds
