21、Face-book chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg and Anna Maria Chavez, chief of American Girl Scouts, are leading a campaign to discourage the use of the word “bossy”. Does the term destroy the confidence of young girls?

The campaign claims that terms like “bossy” are improperly applied to females， preventing schoolgirls from seeing themselves as future “leaders”. From its first application, the word has been definitely connected more with women than with men. It first appeared in 1882，according to the Oxford English Dictionary, mentioning “a lady manager who was extremely bossy”. As late as 2008, the word appeared in reference to females four times more often than males, claim the Ban Bossy campaigners. “To me, the reference is always in association with women,” says Helen Trim, director of Fresh Minds. “I have three brothers and my family still call me ‘bossy’ today. ” Her father is the only other family member who could be considered in that way, says Trim，but nobody would ever call him so.

Some educators recommend that the word should be reclaimed, rather than banned. “But the thing with ‘bossy，is that there’s an infantile (幼稚的)element to it，” says Sara Mills, professor at Sheffield University. “You think of 'bossy' as being like a little kid who's claiming more than he has the right to claim. ”

It's not just “bossy” under fire. “Pushy” is another Face-book chief operating officer Sheryl Sandbergtarget. The implication is that women shouldn’t present themselves as powerful and confident, Mills suggests, which some women are willing to listen to and accept. Trim points out that many modern female business role models are able to be bosses without being labeled ‘bossy'. And she rarely, if ever，hears the word used within her company. But she says that the damage may be done much earlier in a woman’s life. “It does come about from those early teenage years. ” she says. “I think it’s impossible to ban a word, but if people are replacing it with words like 'confidence' or ‘assertiveness’，we would all be in a much better place. ”

【1】More evidence is provided to show "bossy" is more applied to females by _   .

A. the Oxford English Dictionary

B. the Ban Bossy campaigners

C.  Helen Trim at Fresh Minds

D.  some experts in education

【2】 Trim's family still consider her bossy because   .

A. she is expected to lead in her family

B. she is the boss of her company

C. she is a powerful and confident female

D. her father considers her that way

【3】The underlined part "under fire  most probably means .

A. definitely replaced

B. strongly criticized

C. improperly applied

D. eagerly expected

【4】How does the author sound when referring to the campaign against "bossy"?

A. Objective. B. Angry.

C. Doubtful D. Optimistic.

22、In 1975, George Carlin appeared on a popular TV show, Saturday Night Live, with his famous words about blue food. ＂Why is there no blue food? I can’t find blue food — I can’t find the flavor of blue! I mean yellow is lemon; orange is orange and red is cherry. Where is the blue food?＂

Well, Carlin pretty much has it right — there is not no blue food, but there’s certainly not a lot of it. Fresh-picked blueberries are blue, though they become purple when they are turned into jam. The blue in blueberries — like the purple in grapes and red in tomatoes — is found in nature. But it isn’t a hot color for food. People don’t seem to prefer blue food. Some diet programs even suggest that those determined to lose weight should make their food blue.

Eating, in part, begins with our eyes. Chares Spence — an experimental psychologist from Oxford University — points out that color can change our taste experience. Commonly, we consider red-colored foods up to 20% sweeter than they actually are; and green foods as being more sour. Spence suggests: human expectations may be influenced by our long history of watching — green fruits can become sweet as they grow up and turn red..

But what about blue? Except blueberries, much of the blue food we see these days is dyed blue artificially. Food producers argue that artificial color doesn’t do much damage to health. A lot of research shows that some physical problems of kids are related to food dyes — while other studies show no effects at all. Blue birthday cake or even blue-dyed chicken can be served on the dinner table. So what?

【1】George Carlin’s words are placed at the beginning of the passage to ______________.

A．show the author’s opinion

B．tell a famous person

C．lead in the topic

D．introduce a TV show

【2】Which of the following statements of blue is true?

A．The blue in blueberries is found unnatural.

B．Blueberries are always blue, whether fresh or not.

C．Blue is not a very popular color for foods.

D．People often feel cold when they eat blueberries.

【3】Eating sometimes begins with our eyes because ______________.

A．our taste experience can be influenced by color

B．red-colored foods are 20% sweeter than green foods

C．people prefer red-colored foods to green foods

D．before eating, people watch food for a long time

【4】The underlined words ＂is dyed＂ in Para. 4 are closest in meaning to ＂______________＂.

A．is eaten up

B．has grown up

C．is harmful to

D．is changed in color

23、AirTag, a small Bluetooth-and-GPS-enabled device, was released by Apple in April 2021. This small device aimed at making our lives easier was originally designed to end the trouble of losing keys, wallets or other little objects. However, it may become the “perfect” tracking tool if in the wrong hands. My ex-husband was an early adopter of the AirTag. He and I had a falling out, leading to a divorce battle. In order to win custody battle, he used the little device to track me.

As a tech giant, the Apple company brought great convenience to the users, including me. I had never given a thought to tracking via AirTag until it happened to me. So I started scanning stories about AirTag. I was surprised to find that I was not alone. There were so many people tracked by these seemingly innocent electronic tags in their daily life. AirTag which was originally launched for a better life should have such a dark side in the wrong hands.

People have found that the digital device has the potential for abuse. What matters is how to avoid its danger. Apple has released updates to the AirTag’s functionality very quickly since they hit the market. Meanwhile, Apple has also improved its customer service to deal with the bugs of this kind. If you find an unwanted AirTag following you, don’t panic. Just disable it. You can follow the prompts on your Apple device to learn more about disabling the device. Once you’ve completed the above step, the tag’s original owner can’t keep track of you any more.

Almost every digital technology creates security issues. Nobody can go and live in a cave to remain unaffected. While enjoying its convenience, you need to be aware of the risks it poses, and know how to deal with them. Prevention is more effective in security issues than fixes. After all, a stitch in time saves nine.

【1】What is the original function of AirTag?

A．To track one’s location secretly.

B．To help find one’s easily lost items.

C．To locate one’s phone accurately.

D．To ensure the safety of one’s phone.

【2】Why did the author scan stories about AirTag?

A．Her ex-husband tracked her via AirTag.

B．Many people suffered from security problem.

C．AirTag was a newly released electronic device.

D．She intended to know about its great convenience.

【3】What is advised to do when you are followed by an unwanted AirTag?

A．Have it updated.

B．Make it unable to work.

C．Pay no attention to it.

D．Contact its original owner.

【4】What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?

A．People should keep pace with the times.

B．People should use technology in a proper way.

C．People should handle potential digital risks actively.

D．People should bear the responsibility to fix the bugs bravely.

24、   “I have slept on the Embankment (路堤),” wrote George Orwell in 1933, adding that, despite the noise and the wet and the cold, it was “much better than not sleeping at all”. Nine decades on and Charing Cross and the Embankment are once again full of rough sleepers, even during the coldest days of December. It is a pattern found in much of the rich world.

However, it does not have to be this way. In post-war America, there was little rough sleeping, and homelessness was falling so fast that sociologists predicted it would soon disappear. Even today, some rich, successful cities, including Tokyo and Munich, have few people living on the streets.

These places offer lessons on how to reduce homelessness. One is that tough love can sometimes work. Conservatives argue that softer policing policies in the 1970s, including careless attitudes to public drunkenness, were in part responsible for the rise in homelessness. The world could learn something from Greece, where strong family networks ensure that those down on their luck find someone to take them in. Many experts argue that it is counterproductive (事与愿违的) to give money to someone begging on the street. Better, they say, to donate to a charity.

Yet, most people believe tougher policies will ultimately do little if housing costs remain high. This is the underlying reason for rising homelessness. So, the state can do something to help. For example, more generous rent allowance might actually save governments money in the medium term—after all, demands on health-care services and the police would decline. Another option is for the state to build more housing itself. In Singapore, a place where there is practically no homelessness, 80% of residents live in government-built flats which they buy at knock-down prices.

The most effective reform, however, would be to make building more homes easier. The problem of rough sleeping in Germany and Switzerland, two countries with minimal real-house-price growth in recent decades, is less acute. Japan has used its fair share of strong-arm policies to deal with the homeless, but then it introduced a big urban reform in the early 2000s.

【1】Why is George Orwell mentioned in paragraph 1?

A．To show the rich life in Charing Cross.

B．In memory of the world-famous writer.

C．To show the condition of rough sleepers.

D．To introduce the topic of homelessness.

【2】What may help reduce homelessness?

A．Public drunkenness.

B．Softer policing policies.

C．Lower housing costs.

D．Giving beggars money.

【3】Which country may have the fewest homeless people?

A．Germany.

B．Singapore.

C．Switzerland.

D．Japan.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Ways to Reform Modern Society.

B．Reasons to Cut Housing Costs.

C．How to Reduce Homelessness.

D．Effects of Homelessness Rising.

26、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。

It was freezing! Temperature was zero degree!

During patrolling（巡逻）, a group of soldiers were passing through a mountainous path. Their commander was also with them. The way became difficult and dark. The soldier started to feel tired and difficult to continue walking down the path.

Just a little ahead, they saw a tea shop, but when they reached there, they saw it was closed. Every soldier looked at the commander with teary eyes.

The commander understood everyone wanted to have a rest. So he ordered that they should rest there for some time.

Everyone sat there. Just then one of them said, “If we could get a cup of tea in this cold day, we could feel a little relieved.” The commander understood that his soldiers wanted to drink tea so he said. “But the shop is locked, how can we drink tea?”

And then a soldier said, “Sir, let’s break the lock. After all, we protect these people. One cup of tea... at least this is our right. It isn’t like we steal things from the shop. We just want to drink a cup of tea.”

Saying this, the soldier broke the lock of that tea shop.

Everyone drank tea, ate biscuits and continued their patrolling, but before leaving, the commander left two notes of RS（卢比） 500 on the table of that tea shop.

In the next morning, when the shop owner saw that the lock of his tea shop was broken, he cried and said, “Oh, God! My child is sick. I don’t even have money for his treatment and now my shop got robbed!” Then he went inside nervously and saw that all stuff（物品） was there except for some biscuit packets. Worried as he sat on the table, he saw two notes of RS 500 on it. Seeing the money, he immediately jumped with joy, but still not knowing what has happened and where the money was from.

注意：
