I had never seen anything like it before, and I was interested in it. So I started searching all sorts of phrases that might throw light on the mystery of Polish beach separators.I found a site on Poland’s affairs that actually covered this “phenomenon” in details. According to the site, beach separators have been a part of Polish beach-going culture for a long time, but have recently been getting a lot of attention online, after foreign tourists started posting photos on social networks.Beach separators vary in size according to the size of the group. You’ll see tiny ones only surrounding the space around a single beach towel, and giant ones separating a large part of the beach. They weren’t designed to protect their users from prying(窥探)eyes. It’s no secret that strong winds are very common on the shores of the Baltic Sea, so they were originally meant to allow beach-goers to enjoy sunbathing without having their belongings blown away, or sand blown in their faces.However, in recent years, people have begun criticizing them. During the summer, beach separators are placed so close to each other that a person can hardly pass between them, let alone find a place to put their own beach towels. This creates a problem for foreign tourists unfamiliar with them, who just want a place to lie down on the sand. And thus they can easily create all kinds of conflicts due to the lack of space. For example, some people leave the beach for hours but leave their separators in place to make sure that their space doesn’t get occupied by someone else.Having visited a fair number of seaside resorts(度假胜地)across Europe, I admit that I have never seen anything like this before.24. What attracted the author’s attention according to the first paragraph?A. Some phrasesB. The cloth wallsC. The sand patchesD. The colorful stones25. Why did the beach-goes set up separators?A. To attract other s’ attentionB. To keep themselves in privatesC. To stop winds disturbing themD. To protect themselves from sunburn26. What seems to be the problem with beach separators?A. They cause plenty of garbageB. They make the beach overcrowdedC. They leave their separators unattendedD. They lead to many crimes against foreigners27. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?A. To encourage the local tourism in PolandB. To introduce a kind of Polish beach cultureC. To discuss the possibilities of solving the beach problemD. To urge the tourism department to face the beach problemCIf you want to be productive, you must complete work. Almost everything we do has many stages to completion and in many situations, you don’t actually create value until you finish the last stage. Farmers can’t sell their grain until it is harvested. Automakers can’t sell cars that have made it 90% of the way through the assembly line(生产线). Most employers aren’t going to pay you for having a degree unless you finished the last class and graduated.Now all those things require starting, but if you have work in progress, the most valuable thing you can do is to pick something and finish it. Finishing is where you start benefiting from the value you’ve created. I’ve noticed that many successful people aren’t the ones who are the smartest or have the best ideas. They are often the ones who do the best job of taking an idea and completing it. A good idea fully carried out is better than a great idea that never gets completed.Does this mean you need to finish everything you start? Not necessarily, but if you don’t think something is worth finishing, be honest with yourself and terminate the project. Don’t leave hundreds of half finished efforts lying around physically or mentally acting like you are going to come back and pick them up. If you need to drop something , do so strategically and intentionally. If you’ve put significant effort into a project, you may still benefit from finishing it even if you wouldn’t start it again based on changed circumstances. For example, if you are in your last few months before graduating from college and realize you don’t want to career in what you are majoring in, you probably should go ahead and graduate because there is significant value in having the degree---even if you don’t intend to actually work in that field.What projects do you have that are currently in progress? Can you find something and finish it?28. Why do many people become successful according to the author?A. They are the smartestB. They have the best ideasC. They start things smoothlyD. They make ideas fully completed29. What does the underlined word “terminate” in paragraph 3 mean?A. DevelopB. EndC. PlanD. Support30. According to the author, which of the following is the correct way of creating value?A. A man decides to finish all he starts to doB. Farmers hurry to sell their crops before they are ripeC. A college student chooses to study until he gets his degreeD. A student keeps a half-filled stamp album around for future use31. What is the best title for the text?A. Finishing vs. StartingB. Well Begun is Half DoneC. Planning vs. PerformingD. It is Easier Said than DoneDThe Australian beach town of Byron Bay has a traffic problem, especially during holidays, when local streets are full of cars. But now it’s changed. The world’s first fully solar-powered train runs on a restored(修复)train line that was out of use for more than a decade.The solar systems on the roof of the train send power to a set of batteries that replace one engine; the other engine is still in place and can provide backup power in an emergency. As the train brakes, it generates more electricity, like a hybrid car. At a train station, the train can be plugged in to pull more power from solar systems on the platform roof. If there’s a long period without sun---somewhat unlikely in this part of the world---the train can also plug in to get renewable energy from the local electricity supply.“The large solar systems on the platform roof coupled with the solar systems on the train roof produce more solar energy per day than is required to operate an hourly return service,” says Holmes, development director of the nonprofit Byron Bay Railroad company, which runs the train. With one full charge, the train can make 12 to 15 trips.Volunteers fully restored the train to its old condition to attract more riders, which should take more cars off city streets of the beach town. The train fits 100 seated passengers, with room for more to stand, and also has a luggage room for bikes and surfboards. A ride costs a little more than $2.The nonprofits thinks it’s a model that could be replicated (复制)elsewhere. “Our service has had no government support or funding at all, but for this to be replicated or improved upon, the key is forgovernment to work with enterprises on the program.” Holmes says. “Our service provides an example of how the sun’s energy can be used for sustainable transport solutions.”32. Why is the solar train brought into use in Byron Bay?A. To attract visitorsB. To reduce trafficC. To fight pollutionD. To use solar energy33. Where does the train get energy on sunless days?A. From its enginesB. From a hybrid carC. From the platform roofD. From the local electricity supply34. How does Holmes feel about solar energy equipment?A. It is labor-savingB. It is easily operatedC. It is time-consumingD. It is power guaranteed35. What can be inferred about the solar-powered train from the last paragraph?A. It may be popularized in the futureB. More scientific research should be done about itC. It could be of little use in solving energy problems.D. Financial support from the government is badly needed第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
