21、e average American going through more than 700 pounds of paper per year, many firms are looking for ways to discourage their employees from over-using the office printer.Toshiba American Business Solutions has come up with an alternative idea. It has introduced the e-STUDIO4508LP, a printer that giv

22、es users the option to print with erasable toner (墨粉)一 allowing a single piece of paper to be reused several times.To reuse a piece of paper, the printer basically uses the same process as a normal printer, but in reverse (反過來），said Bill Melo, chief marketing executive for Toshiba America Business S

23、olutions. Paper printed with the erasable toner is fed back into the printer, superheated, and the toner gets removed and put in a discard (丟棄）tank.There are a couple of catches. All of the printouts using the erasable toner have to be in blue ink, which is the only color in which erasable toner is

24、now available. And the company said that people may want to stop reusing the printouts after five times through the eraser because small traces of erased text will build up over time.The $15,420 printer is aimed at offices and schools，where there are often large numbers of printouts that outlive the

25、ir usefulness quickly. With the erasable toner, its possible to load any short-lived handouts back onto the printer to be erased and then reused.Still, convincing customers to commit to erasable toner isnt always easy. Melo said not all its customers were happy about only having the erasable option.

Scientists report other forests have seen great drops in parrot populations as well.In the 1800s, there were more than a million of the bright green parrots li

30、ving in the wild in Puerto Rico. By the 1970s, the number was down to just 13 birds after years of forest clearing.A special program was started in 1972 to help increase the parrot population, which led to the creation of three breeding(繁殖) centers. Just weeks before Hurricane Maria hit, scientists

31、counted 56 wild parrots at El Yunque. That was the highest number in the programs history. Scientists say that even though several parrots have been born in captivity(籠養(yǎng)) and in the wild since Maria, the species is still in danger.The Puerto Rican Amazon is the islands only remaining native parrot.

32、More than 460 of the birds are kept inside the breeding centers at El Yunque and the Rio Abajo forest. Scientists have not released(釋放) any of the birds since Hurricane Maria.

37、duced the Number of Amazon Parrots.24（8分） This Monday, the nation will start to celebrate Presidents Day, just seven days before George Washingtons birthday. Everyone agrees that day is a holiday, but is it just to celebrate George Washingtons Birthday? What about Abraham Lincoln? Some government of

38、fices call it Presidents Day. Others say the holiday is officially Washingtons Birthday. Confused yet?George Washington was elected the countrys first President on April 30, 1789. Soon after, Americans began publicly celebrating his birthday. Presidential historians say the actual date of George Was

39、hingtons birth is February 11, 1732. But a change in the calendar system 20 years later shifted all dates，making Washingtons birthday February 22, which is now well accepted. In 1879, Congress made Washingtons birthday an official federal holiday. It was the first federal holiday to celebrate an ind

40、ividuals birthday. In 1968, Congress passed the Monday Holidays Act, which moved the holiday to the third Monday in February. The new law did not change the holidays name. It was still called Washingtons Birthday, even though some lawmakers wanted to call it Presidents Day to include Abraham Lincoln

41、, whose actual birthday is February 12.Many people argue that the holiday should celebrate all past Presidents. They feel Lincoln should be honored for his role in preserving the nation during the Civil War and helping to free slaves. Others feel the holiday should only honor Washington, the country

42、s first President. They say shifting the focus away from Washington would mean future generations of kids would not know about the Father of Our Country.Laws have been introduced in Congress over the years to require use of the term George Washingtons Birthday.but none of those laws have been passed

43、. Meanwhile, many state governments and school districts now use the term Presidents Day.Many stoles also use it to promote holiday sales.Should the holiday honor Washington, Washington and Lincoln, or all past Presidents?

46、 Presidents Day or notDColorful activities on Presidents Day25（10分） In 2011, the old style Malta buses were taken off the road and replaced by modern vehicles. Most of the old buses were deserted, a few were sold, and about 100 of them were put into storage in the hope of showing them in a museum at

47、 some stage.A pre-2011 visit to Malta wouldnt have been complete without a ride on one of the colorful buses. Until 1973 you could tell the destination of the bus just by looking at its color Sliema was green and white, Zabbar was red and white with a blue stripe(條紋)etc. . Later, the buses all had n

48、umbers. For a while, they were all painted green and white before the final orange, yellow and white.In their prime, walking around the Triton fountain at the Valletta bus station, you would have found it very difficult to see two buses of exactly the same design. Most of them had locally built bodi

49、es. On the front of the buses carried names like Dodge, Leyland, Bedford etc. . You were equally likely to find football pennants(錦旗)and the like decorating the cabs. Real bus experts would have recognized that these were there mainly for decorative reasons, and were seldom an accurate reflection of

50、 the vehicles origins.Nowadays much more modern buses are to be found at the Floriana bus station. They are more environmentally friendly and possibly even more comfortable than the older types. However, I miss the old buses. I remember, when you boarded your bus, you had to prepare the correct chan

51、ge to pay the usually bad-tempered driver as you got on. If you were seated anywhere near the front, you would have noticed that most drivers sat well to the right of their steering wheel. The reason for this, as any Maltese would tell you, was to leave space for their pet to sit alongside them. I w

52、onder where the pet sits these days.1、What makes a pre-2011 visit to Malta special according to Paragraph 2?ATraveling in colorful buses.BUsing buses with stripes.CPainting buses bright colors.DTelling destinations by different colors.2、Which of the following best explains “prime” underlined in Para
