Voters will decide between the Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump of the Republicans. But the voting is not

10、 a must for each person in the US. So quite a lot of people choose not to vote, especially the young generation. According to Fox News, one-in-five young voters between the ages of 18 and 35 said clearly that they wouldnt vote for either of the two candidates. Just 12 percent of voters aged 35-54, a

11、nd only nine percent of voters aged 55 and older said the same thing. This is not only because young people dont like Clinton or Trump, according to the Fortune magazine. The truth is that they are traditionally less likely to vote than their parents. “Young people are not at an age in their life wh

12、en they think politics or government has anything to do with them,” said Rodd Freitag, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, US. “But for the older age groups, they have a home, they pay taxes, they care about schools and the community.” Many believe that the civic

13、 (公民的) education of an American youth is another reason why they dont vote. Students usually just do community services like cleaning the neighborhoods. This means they havent learned how to link real life problems to politics through voting, according to Christopher Beem, a politics professor at th

14、e Pennsylvania State University. He said the country needs to help young people learn how to take part in politics and get them to see that they can make a difference.21.

23、ith all the fun things you do while you are awake. But theres a lot going on in your mind and body while you are sleeping. Sleep, in fact, is as important to your survival as eating and drinking. Sleep improves your mood, makes you a better athlete, and helps you remember and understand what you lea

24、rned during the day. During sleep your temperature drops. Your heart rate slows. Down goes the pressure of the blood moving through your veins. A chemical that controls growth (called a hormone) moves into your bloodstream. Scientists think that sleep brings back energy and improves your immune syst

25、em. We know what happens while were asleep because scientists study volunteers who sleep in laboratories. The sleepers are connected with machines that measure brain waves, eye movements and muscle activities. Sleep is like a school day: its divided into different periods, or stages. When you are aw

26、ake, your brain waves rapidly. As you begin to relax and drift into the first stage of sleep, your brain produces slower-moving waves and you lose awareness of your surroundings. As you slide to deeper sleep, your body repairs itself from the normal wear and tear of daily life. Then, as you begin to

27、 drift back up to a lighter sleep, your mind becomes more alert, and your dreams begin. You are in REM sleep. REM is the name for the rapid eye movement that happens while you are dreaming. During REM sleep, your eyes move back and forth behind your lids, as though you were watching a movie. During

28、other stages, you might move in bed, but during REM sleep youre still. Thats probably because if you could move, your body would act out your dreams. As you get close to morning, you spend more time in REM than in deep sleep, so you dream more. Researchers know that during REM sleep the part of the

29、brain that handles learning and thinking is very active. Getting too little sleep can affect your personality. Experts recommend that children get at least nine hours sleep a night. 28. Sleep has many advantages except _. A. improving your mood B. making you strong C. practising your eyes D. helping

You dont move while you are in REM sleep, dreaming. B. Hormone has something to do with your growth. C. The whole brain is active. D. The cl

32、oser to morning, the more dreams you have. DAndrew Ritchie, inventor of the Brompton folding bicycle, once said that the perfect portable bike would be “like a magic carpetYou could fold it up and put it into your pocket or handbag”. Then he paused: “But youll always be limited by the size of the wh

33、eels. And so far no one has invented a folding wheel.”It was a rare indeed unique occasion when I was able to put Ritchie right. A 19th-century inventor, William Henry James Grout, did in fact design a folding wheel. His bike, predictably named the Grout Portable, had a frame that split into two and

34、 a larger wheel that could be separated into four pieces. All the bits fitted into Grouts Wonderful Bag, a leather case.Grouts aim: to solve the problems of carrying a bike on a train. Now doesnt that sound familiar? Grout intended to find a way of making a bike small enough for train travel: his bi

35、ke was a huge beast. And importantly, the design of early bicycles gave him an advantage: in Grouts day, tyres were solid, which made the business of splitting a wheel into four separate parts relatively simple. You couldnt do the same with a wheel fitted with a one-piece inflated (充气的) tyre.So, in

36、a 21st-century context, is the idea of the folding wheel dead? It is not. A British design engineer, Duncan Fitzsimons, has developed a wheel that can be squashed into something like a slender ellipse (椭圆). Throughout, the tyre remains inflated.Will the young Fitzsimonss folding wheel make it into p

37、roduction? I havent the foggiest idea. But his inventiveness shows two things. First, people have been saying for more than a century that bike design has reached its limit, except for gradual advances. Its as silly a concept now as it was 100 years ago: theres plenty still to go for. Second, it is

38、in the field of folding bikes that we are seeing the most interesting inventions. You can buy a folding bike for less than 1,000 that can be knocked down so small that it can be carried on a plane minus wheels, of course as hand baggage.Folding wheels would make all manner of things possible. Have w

39、e yet got the magic carpet of Andrew Ritchies imagination? No. But its progress. 32. We can infer from Paragraph 1 that the Brompton folding bike .A. was portableB. had a folding wheelC. could be put in a pocketD. looked like a magic carpet 33. We can learn from the text that the wheels of the Grout

40、 Portable .A. were difficult to separateB. could be split into 6 piecesC. were fitted with solid tyresD. were hard to carry on a train 34. We can learn from the text that Fitzsimonss invention .A. kept the tyre as a whole piece B. was made into production soon C. left little room for improvement D.

41、changed our views on bag design 35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Three folding bike inventorsB. The making of a folding bike C. Progress in folding bike design D.

43、eating is called plagiarizing (抄袭). 38 Jeff is doing it by sneaking answers to a test. And its also cheating to break the rules of a game or contest or to pretend something is yours when it isnt.

44、hings seem easy, like getting all the right answer on the rest. 39 And it wont help on the next test-unless the person cheats again. 40 They want to get good grades but hate hard work. Other kids might feel like they cant pass the test without cheating. Even though there seems to be a good reason fo

Some kids cheat once and feel so bad that they never do it again.E. For kids, cheating may happen at school
