In this town, protecting the planet is a way of life. That's how Abby Sharp, 14, Wyatt Peery, 13, and Tom Krajnak, 14, saw their city of tomorrow. The vision won the eighth graders from Bexley, Ohio, first prize at the 2009 National Engineers Week Future City Competition.

　　The annual design competition challenges middle school students to use engineering to deal with issues that affect the earth. The 2009 competition focused on water conservation. Participants had to come up with ways to improve water use at home. Kids from 38 middle schools across the country competed in the final. The event took place from February 17 to 18 in Washington D．C. More than 30，000 students entered the competition.

　　Abby, Wyatt and Tom call their winning city Novo Mondum. The name means “new world” in Latin. Novo Mondum sits on the coast of Iceland. The group chose the spot for its wealth of clean energy resources, such as geothermal(地熱的) energy and hydropower. Both sources use the power of nature to generate electricity. Geothermal energy draws heat from deep inside the earth. Hydropower gets energy from flowing water. “Our city is very globally aware，” Abby told TFK.eer mentor(顧問) to develop their cities. Each group creates a fictional city on SimCity 4 Deluxe, a computer game that allows players to build virtual towns. Then they construct tabletop models of the cities and write essays describing their project. The models must be made using recycled materials and cost no more than $100 to build.

　　16．What's the main feature of the city designed by the three winners?

　　A．Making full use of water resources.

　　B．Turning rooftops into green gardens.

　　C．Protecting our home—the earth.

　　D．Costing no money to build.

　　17．It can be inferred that water conservation is ________.

　　A．one of the problems that influence the earth

　　B．the main theme of 2009 Future City Competition

　　C．one of the issues for the participants to deal with abroad

　　I entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themes—anything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth grade English class that a person could not have a “complicated idea” until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either their irony(嘲諷)I included only once a title I might have read several times.(How, after all, could one read a book more than once？) And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length.(Could anything shorter be a book？) I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the “hundred most important books of Western civilization”. “More than anything else in my life，” the professor told the reporter with_finality,_“these books have made me all that I am.” That was the kind of words I couldn't ignore. I kept the list for several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Plato's The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition(迷信)of a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by the time I reached the last word, pleased, I persuaded myself that I had read and seriously crossed Plato off my list.

　　21．On hearing the teacher's suggestion of reading, the writer thought ________.

　　A．one must read as many books as possible

　　B．a student should not have a complicated idea

　　C．it was impossible for one to read two thousand books

　　D．students ought to make a list of the books they had read

　　22．While at high school, the writer ________.

　　A．had plans for reading

　　B．learned to educate himself

　　C．only read books over 100 pages

　　D．read only one book several times

　　23．The underlined phrase “with finality” probably means “________”．

　　A．firmly

　　B．clearly

　　C．proudly

　　D．pleasantly

　　24．The writer's purpose in mentioning The Republic is to ________.

　　A．explain why it was included in the list

　　B．describe why he seriously crossed it off the list

　　C．show that he read the books blindly because they were hard to understand

　　D．prove that he understood most of it because he had read every word

　　25．The writer provides two book lists to ________.

　　A．show how he developed his point of view

　　B．tell his reading experience at high school

　　C．introduce the two persons' reading methods

　　D．explain that he read many books at high school
