    14．The elevator of the future may be just over the horizon thanks to German company    ThyssenKrupp．The firm has invented a cable-free elevator（called MULTI）that can go up and    down like traditional lifts but the magnetic motors allow it to go side-to-side too．The designers predict that this technology could increase the carrying capacity of existing architecture by as much as 50%．Plus it looks really neat．
    ThyssenKrupp plans to use light-weight materials to build its elevator ears of the future and the lack of a cable winch（钢缆绞车）will reduce weight as well．The ears wouldn't just move up and down as they do now but would instead go in a circle that allows more cars to slip in fight behind the next．The result is that you might only have to wait 10 seconds for the next one to arrive rather than wait for the one you just missed to come back down．
    The technology backing ThyssenKrupp's MULTI elevator is very similar to magnetic    levitation（磁悬浮）systems used in high-speed trains．Each car has two magnetic motors-one    for vertical movement and another for horizontal．This system can also deliver power to the car's internal lighting and electronics without using wires．
    A traditional cable driven elevator has mechanical components that can hold the car in place in the event of a power-off．ThyssenKrupp didn't go into detail about safety measures in its announcement but it's safe to say the magnetic levitation elevator will have some sort of system to hold it in place if the lights go out．ThyssenKrupp is working on a test tower that will be used to develop the MULTI into a rear elevator technology．This should be up and running by 2016 but it will probably take at least a few more years before you get to climb inside a magnetic elevator car．
    32．What does the underlined phrase"over the horizon"mean？B
    A．Above sea level．       
    B．On the way．
    C．On the market．     
    D．Out of sight．
    33．MULTI is designed toB．
    A．save energy         
    B．carry more passengers
    C．run much faster     
    D．be neat and comfortable
    34．The key technology about MULTI is itsB．
    A．cable winch         
    B．magnetic motor
    C．wireless electronics    
    D．lighting material
    35．What can be learned from the last paragraph？D
    A．MULTI will sell well．
    B．MULTI has to work on a tower．
    C．MULTI will be put into use in 2016．
    D．MULTI has a safety system in case of power-off．

    19．In New York，students at 18schools participate in a program called We Future Cycle．Started by Anna Giordano in 2014，it teaches kids to recycle，compost （制成堆肥），and reduce  food waste．
    Lunch areas at the participating schools are equipped with three clearly marked bins-compost，recycle and share．While the first two are common in schools，the third is rare，where kids can put their unwanted drinks，fruits，and even untouched sandwiches．Items in the  container are available for any student that wants them．Whatever remains at the end of the day is donated to the food bank．Giordano says the three bins have helped reduce the nun of trash bags from an average of 22to just 2!

    The other catch？Customers have to eat their  meals inside a dumpster（大型垃圾装卸车）!The place，of course，is totally clean．It is iust a symbolic gesture．In addition to helping people rethink their actions，Treuhaft also helps them to do good by donating part of the profits to non-profits devoted to fighting against food waste．
    32．What is mainly talked about in the text？C

    13．Temperature is measured by means of a thermometer （温度计）．One general form of thermometer depends upon the fact that most solids and liquids expand as their temperature rises．There are one or two exceptions．There is，for instance，a kind of steel called invar （from"invariable"） which does not change its dimensions as temperature changes； it is valuable for making pendulums （钟摆），since，if the length of a pendulum changes，its time of vibration changes．It is also used for making very accurate measuring scales．In both cases，then，changes of atmospheric temperature have no effect if invar is used．
    Another exception is that very odd liquid，water，which has many strange properties （特性）．As water gets colder it contracts （收缩），which is ordinary behavior，until it reaches the temperature of 30℃．above freezing point．After that，as it gets colder，it expands．This is fortunate---for considering the freezing of a pond．As the water on top gets colder，it shrinks； and so，volume for volume，it becomes heavier and sinks．This goes on until all the pond is at 30℃，but after that，as the water becomes colder it expands．Therefore the colder water stays on top and freezes，covering the pond with ice．If the water went on contracting down to the freezing point，the pond would become a solid block of ice in the end．This would not worry people who live in hot climates，but it would be very serious for those who live in cold climates，especially for those who want to break the ice and catch fish which live in the cold water beneath．

    56．Invar is valuable for making pendulums becauseA．
    A．it can hardly change its shape or size as temperature changes．
    B．it will change its dimensions without the change of temperature．
    C．its time of vibration doesn't change if its length changes．
    D．its time of vibration does not change if its length changes．
    57．As water gets colder after reaching the temperature of 30℃．it willc．
    A．contract       B．shrink      C．expand     D．freeze
    58．Which of the following statements is true，according to this passage？D
    A．Only invar can be used to make a thermometer．
    B．Only water can be used to make a thermometer．
    C．Both invar and water can be used to make a thermometer．
    D．Neither invar nor water can be used to make a thermometer．
    59．The best title of this passage is most likely to beB．
    A．Temperature Measurement     
    B．Two Exceptions
    C．Uses of Invar    
    D．Properties of Water．
