20、d the power of fear when I became stuck to my driveway, as if my feet were crazy-glued to the cement (水泥). As much as I tried, I could not move them. The realization that my daughters were playing in Nancys house, just one-half block away, paralyzed (麻痹) my legs, making me unable to move when I near

21、ed the end of our driveway. Dense, black smoke was rising from behind the Sycamore Maple trees on the other side of the street and was enveloping three houses, making them barely visible. Nancys house was one of them.I tried to call out for my daughters, hoping to see them run safely to my arms, but

22、 my voice was also stuck-stuck in my throat with no intention of coming out. There I stood, helpless, paralyzed and silenced by fear, unable to protect the two lttle girls I loved more than even I had realized.Although trapped in a body that couldnt move or speak I could still hear. I could hear oth

23、er mothers anxiously calling their children. I could hear a frightening silence that covered the neighborhood instead of the usual happy voices of children. And, finally, I could hear the alarm of the fire engine. As the alarm announced, Were on our way, it instantly dissolved the crazy glue that ha

24、d held my feet to the cement and it unlocked the soundproof box that had silenced my voice. I was free to make sure my daughters were safe.As I continued down the driveway, two little girls, my two little girls, ran toward me from across the street.

28、 A Narrow EscapeD. The Price of FearCNorway just hit a record in its move to gradually stop using cars that rely on fossil fuels. More than 9 in 10 new cars sold there in September were either electric or rechargeable hybrids, according to the Norwegian Information Council for Road Traffic, or OFV.

29、Of all new passenger cars sold so far in 2021, less than 5% are gas-powered. A slightly smaller percentage use diesel (柴油). The sales numbers push Norway closer to meeting its national goal of transitioning to an entirely zero-emission (零排放) fleet of new cars by 2025an initiative the government back

30、s with tax incentives (激励). Several factors are driving record numbers of Norwegian drivers to choose electricity over gas or diesel power, including new technology that has eased customers anxiety about electric vehicles range. But money is a main concern.Norway has long encouraged people to adopt

31、electric vehiclesand it does so by using a carrot so large that its essentially also a stick. Electric cars are exempt (免除) from the 25% value-added tax (VAT), for instance. Theyre also exempt from environmental pollution taxes that buyers of gas and diesel vehicles must pay. “The purchase tax for a

32、ll new cars is calculated by a combination of weight, CO2 and NOx emissions, “the Norwegian Electric Car Association says. “The tax is progressive, making big cars with high emissions very expensive.” Other sweeteners include a lot of auto-related fees that are reduced or totally canceled, from ferr

33、y rides to parking. And companies can get a tax break for each electric vehicle. Overall, Norway is seeing a rapid increase in passenger car this yearmore than 35% higher than in 2020. With electric car sales booming, the future of the VAT exemption has been a top for political debate this year, as

34、law makers look at how to bolster tax income while also supporting the move away from fossil fuels.28. What is the main reason for electric vehicles leading sales growth?A. VAT exemption.B. No more auto-related fees.C. Fossil fuels shortage.D. Development of technology.29. How does the author illust

35、rate the carrot and stick approach in the 5th paragraph?A. By analyzing cause and effect.B. By giving statistics.C. By referring to previous findings.D. By making a comparison.30. What does the underlined word “bolster” in the last paragraph mean?A. Calculate.B. Reduce.C. Receive.D. Increase.31. Whi

36、ch of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Tax-free Policy Works Well with Car Industry in NorwayB. No More Gas-powered Cars Allowed to Be Sold in NorwayC. 9 in 10 Cars Now Sold in Norway Are Electric or HybridD. Almost All Cars Will Go Electric in Norway Right AwayDSmartphones are our

37、constant companions. For many of us, their glowing screens are a common presence, drawing us in with endless distractions. They are in our hands as soon as we wake, and command our attention until the final moments before we fall asleep.Steve Jobs would not approve.In 2007, Jobs took the stage and i

38、ntroduced the world to the iPhone. If you watch the full speech, you will be surprised by how he imagined our relationship should be with this iconic invention. This vision is so different from the way most of us use these devices now.In his remarks, Jobs spent an extended amount of time demonstrati

39、ng how users could utilize its touch screen before detailing the many ways Apple engineers had improved the age-old process of making phone calls. “Its the best iPod weve ever made,” Jobs exclaimed at one point. “The killer app is making calls,” he later added. Both lines drew thunderous applause.Th

40、e presentation confirms that Jobs imagined a simpler iPhone experience than the one we actually have more than a decade later. For example, there was no App Store when the iPhone was first introduced, and this was by design. Jobs was convinced that the phones carefully-designed native features were

41、enough. He did not seek to completely change the rhythm of users daily lives. He simply wanted to take experiences we had already found important listening to music, placing calls, generating directions and make them better.The minimalist (简约主义者) vision for the iPhone Jobs offered in 2007 is unrecog

42、nizable today and that is a shame.Under what I call the “constant companion model,” we now see our smartphones as always-on portal (通道) to information. We have become so used to it over the past decade that it is easy to forget the novelty (新奇) of the device. It seems increasingly clear to me that J

43、obs probably got it right from the very beginning: Many of us would be better-off returning to his original minimalist vision for our phones.Practically speaking, to be a minimalist smartphone user means only using your device for a small number of features that do things of value to you. Otherwise,

44、 you simply put it away outside of these activities. This approach removes this gadget (小玩意) from the position of a constant companion down to a luxury object, such as a fancy bike that gives you great pleasure when you use it but does not dominate your entire day.Early in his 2007 keynote Jobs said

45、, “Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone.” What he didnt add, however, was the follow-up promise: “Tomorrow, were going to reinvent your life.” The smartphone is fantastic, but it was never meant to be the foundation for a new form of existence. If you return this innovation to its original ro

46、le, you will get more out of both your phone and your life.32. According to Steve Jobs, what was the main selling point of Apples first iPhone?A. It allowed its users to have access to the Internet.B. It was actually an iPod that could make phone calls.C. It was installed with applications by third-

47、party developers.D. It could fulfill peoples desire to multitask in their daily lives.33. According to the article, a minimalist smartphone user is likely to _.A. expect to reinvent his life with the deviceB. buy the latest model of iPhone and see it as a luxuryC. spend more time working than playin

48、g with his deviceD. remove the unnecessary applications from the device34. The underlined word “it” in the 7th paragraph probably refers to _.A. the native features of smartphonesB. the information on the InternetC. the novelty of the deviceD. the constant companion model35. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The minimalism of iPhone helps users bring out the best of the device.B. Jobs expected iPhone to be the
