26、If you spent years training to be a lawyer and had a great steady income, would you leave it to undertake a harebrained(轻率的) plan that only your mum and girlfriend believed in? That’s exactly what Tom Pakenham did.
He had the idea of starting an eco-friendly taxi company and so with five environmentally friendly cars Green Tomato Cars was born. Now, only a few years later, the company has a group of 60 Toyota Prius Hybrids.
When the company started in 2006 Tom says, “ Only my mum, girlfriend Sophie, now my wife, and Jonny ( his business partner ) were 100 percent behind the idea of starting London’s first cab service. ”
Tom, who sold his£150,000 flat to raise money for the business, received the support of some well-known persons, Buckingham Palace officials and BSkyB managers.Even Al Gore is a fan.
Currently carrying 500-600 passengers a day, Green Tomato Cars is a shining example that commercial(商业的)success and green issues are compatible.
“All our drivers and employees are employed from the local community. We use local garages, service agents and vehicle sign-writers even though that is not always the most competitive choice. The reason is that to bring green products to the fore we believe we must not be worse than conventional(传统的)taxis. The target is to be recognized as No.1 provider of environmental goods and services in London and around the world.”
All their hard work has paid off as The Department for Transport has acknowledged Green Tomato Cars progress by giving them the Fleet Hero Award and last year the company was highlighted at the WTM World Responsible Tourism Day.
Pleased with the publicity, Tom says, “ I like to think we are playing our part with the cars switching to electricity. Carbon dioxide reductions of more than 600 tons have been achieved and this low footprint has sparked(触发)a revolution in the taxi world.
【1】The underlined word “compatible” probably means ________.
A. only a dream
B. necessary
C. able to exist together
D. within easy reach
【2】Tom started the eco-friendly company in order to ________.
A. earn more money to protect the environment
B. encourage more people to protect the environment
C. solve unemployment of the local community
D. set up No.1 provider of environmental goods and services
【3】The cars in Green Tomato Cars are powered mainly by ________.
A. electricity B. petrol C. gases D. solar energy
【4】It can be inferred that environmentally-friendly cars ________.
A. can only produce more than 600 tons of carbon dioxide

C. are more expensive to take
D. cost less and make greater profits
27、The biggest challenge faced by travelers especially those who like to have a hiking trip is how to ensure a steady supply of clean clothes. Now, thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack, that worry may be a thing of the past.
The portable(手提的) washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010, while planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration(灵感) from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes. Then he gave up his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bag’s design. By 2012, the bag was ready for the public. It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space, making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.
Not surprisingly, the bag worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers, university students and even passengers. However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a flaw(缺点) with his invention – dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag! The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.
In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two to three liters of water. The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out(挤出去) and the clothes are massaged for a few minutes. After a quick wash, they are clean and ready to be dried. According to Newland, the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks! What’s even more amazing is that with a capacity to hold 13-liters of water, it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.
The best part is that the 99-dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year, only weighs 300 grams and is completely foldable, making it easy to store when it’s not in use. With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!
【1】What led Ash Newland to create the Scrubba Wash Bag?
A. His job requirements. B. His personal experience.
C. His interest in invention. D. A traditional washboard.
【2】Why wasn’t Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?
A. The invention was not so convenient.
B. Clothes couldn’t be washed well.
C. The bag couldn’t contain enough water.
D. The cost of the invention was very high.
【3】It can be inferred that the improved Wash Pack ______.
A. turns to be much environmentally friendlier
B. will replace the traditional washing machines
C. can encourage more people to travel a long distance
D. will be widely used by more travelers in the future
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A. Introducing a great new invention.
B. Explaining the development of backpack
C. Listing some common problems for travelers.
D. Comparing two kinds of washing machines.

People like Martin Luther King Jr,Nelson Mandela,Aung San Suu Kyi,Kofi Annan,Lech Walesa and Mother Teresan have become famous all around the world.And what do they have in common?They are all winners of the Nobel Pease Prize.But none of them would have received their prize and the 【1】 it brings if it had not been for one Swedish man ,Alfred Norbel.

32、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I met Bosco in the remote wilderness near Mount Robson. At the end of a long day of backpacking, I had put up my tent beside a river and was preparing to catch supper. Then I looked up, and there he was: an enormous black bear, slowly circling within 30 yards.
He wasn’t Bosco to me yet, and I viewed his presence with fear. However, I decided to go about my fishing. The bear came along.
I’ve lived with wild creatures for 30 years, always respecting their first fear—fast movements—so I let the bear see every slow move. Soon he was sitting less than five feet away, interested in my activity. When I landed a fish I threw it to him lightly. He gulped (大口吞咽). And then he moved closer and settled half his 225 kilograms next to me!
When darkness set in, I was still fishing for that bear, attracted as much by his gentle manners as by his eagerness for fish. I began to think of him in a friendly way as Bosco, and I didn’t mind when he followed me back to camp.
After supper, I build up the fire and sat on the sleeping bag. The moment I comfortably lay, he walked over and sat down beside me. I rather enjoyed his warmth. I listened to the rain beating on the tent in time with the steady, powerful heartbeat beneath his thick coat.
Then suddenly Bosco began licking (舔) my hands. Guessing what he wanted, I got him a handful of salt. He excitedly licked until the last grain of salt was gone.
It is from the fish and salt I offered him that I received his trust, dependence and friendship. During the night, he left and came to the sleeping bag several times. Each time he climbed around and over me, but he never put his full weight down when he touched me.
