Once upon a time, a king in Africa had a close friend. No matter what happened in his life, the friend always said “This is good!”

One day, the king and his friend went hunting（打猎）. The friend made a mistake while preparing the gun for the king. When the king shot at an animal, one of his fingers was broken. However, the friend said, “This is good!” The king shouted in pain, “No, this is NOT GOOD!” He was so angry that he sent his friend to jail（监狱）.

A year later, the king went hunting again. Cannibals （食人族）caught him and took him to their village. As they came close to setting fire to him, they noticed that the king had lost a finger. Cannibals never ate anyone that was less than whole, so they set the king free.

As the king returned home, he felt regretful for what he had done to his friend. He went to the jail and told his friend his experience.

“You were right,” the king said. “It was good that my finger was broken. And I am very sorry for keeping you in jail for so long”.

“You needn’t say sorry,” his friend said. “This is good”.

“How could it be good?” the king asked.

Ever since the 19th century, people’s search for improved ways of producing electricity has never stopped. Now a UK company has developed a new kind of floor. It is very special. There is a system that can produce a certain amount of electricity very cheaply using the energy from footsteps. When people step on this special floor, electricity is produced.

The inventor of the floor came up with the idea when he was a student and worked in an energy business. The business asked him to find ways to power up street lights in the city center using the energy from the sun, but it soon became clear that this might not work because many city centers don’t get enough sunlight because of tall buildings. Then he thought of a better plan.

Why not use the energy produced by people who walk past the street instead? The right technology could be used to convert this energy into electricity — right under people’s feet.

The floor could actually be very efficient (效率高的). This is especially true when it is used in very busy areas. And the reason is that a lot of energy is produced simply because of large numbers of people walking across the floor.

The floor can have other uses too, such as recording how many people visit a particular (特定的) place at particular times. This kind of information is very useful for certain people. For example, shop owners near the place would be interested in knowing what time of the day they have the highest customer numbers.

The technology was created out of a hope of making energy that is untouchable closer to people. The business also said it tried to find a way for people to further their understanding of problems of climate change and sustainability (可持续性).

66．What is special about the new kind of floor?

A．It can be used in many busy areas in cities.

B．It depends on sunlight to produce electricity.

C．It can provide customers’ shopping information.

D．It produces electricity with the energy from footsteps.

67．Many city centers fail to get enough sunlight because ________.

A．the buildings are tall B．the skies aren’t clear

C．the traffic is always busy D．the environment is polluted

68．The underlined word “convert” probably means “________” in this passage .

A．carry B．change C．collect D．avoid

69．We can learn from the passage that ________.

A．it is really difficult to produce electricity by using sunlight

B．the use of the floor may help solve the problem of climate change

C．the more people walk on the floor, the more electricity can be produced

D．the floor could be of little help to the shop owners near the street using it

70．The best title for the passage is ________.

A．A Creative Business B．A Talented Inventor

C．A Discussion on Sunlight D．A New Way of Producing Electricity

六、阅读理解填词（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入适当的单词，单词的第一个字母已给出。

You might have found a friend or classmate who remembers every single detail. How can they make it? A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a b____76____ memory as something that cannot be changed, but actually there are plenty of things that you can do to improve your memory.

We all remember the things we are i____77____ in and forget the ones that make us feel bored. This no doubt explains the reason why schoolboys remember football results w____78____ difficultly but make a very great effort to remember dates from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and pay close a___79___. One way to “make” yourself more interested is to ask questions—the more the better! Moreover, researchers have found that information organized in groups can be easy to remember. You can use this by organizing the materials you are s____80____. Try grouping similar knowledge together, or make a mind map of textbook readings to help group the information. Then when you learn more about that subject, you understand that better. Be sure things are clear in your m____81____. If not, ask questions until you understand! What’s more, when you’re learning new materials, take the time to think about the relationship b____82____ the present information and what you’ve already known. Then it can help you remember the information. Physical exercise is also important for your memory, b____83____ it increases your heart rate and sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also r____84____ stress, which is very bad for the memory.

So the next time you’re learning new information, you can use the m_____85_____ above. I’m sure that you will improve your memory and get more out of it.
