21、Japan’s youth are losing interest in science and as a result, threatening the nation’s industrial progress. According to Japan Science and Technology Agency, young Japanese are surrounded by high-tech devices(设备), but are not interested in how they work.

Japanese businesses have succeeded partly because they’ve a great many engineers. A drop in interest could lead to a decline(减少) in their numbers and quality. "In the past, the young had a big interest in science and technology," said Hirano, director of the agency’s policy department.

There are two main reasons for the problem. The first is known as "black box syndrome" of modern technology.

Electronic devices depend on tiny silicon chips（芯片）, which can only be made in big factories, whose workings can’t be seen by the eyes. The devices, unlike machines of the past driven by gears and wheels, are simply boxes.

Young Japanese, brought up on video games and at home with computers, enjoy using modern technology, but this is a passive interest and different from the interest in how things work. "You need an active interest to get interested in science. This is declining in the young," said Hirano.

About two-thirds of Japanese in their 20s use PCs, twice the number of those in their 50s. But only 40% of those in their 20s say they are interested in news about science and technology, compared to 60% of the 50 to 60 year olds.

"Another reason for it is that life in modern Japan is too comfortable," he said. "A wealthy society reduces people’s desire to modernize and develop their country. To a degree, you can’t avoid this when the fruits of science and technology are fully developed." Similarly, science in Europe and the US has also suffered a lack of interest.

【1】Japanese youth’s interest in science is dropping probably because ________.

A. scientists don’t make much money in Japan

B. there are too many scientists in Japan already

C. they’re not interested in how high-tech devices work

D. science is more difficult for young people to learn

【2】The underlined word "their" (in Para. 2) refers to ________.

A. Japanese engineers’

B. Japanese businesses’

C. Japan’s young people’s

D. high-tech devices’

【3】Why does science meet the same problem in Japan, the US and Europe?

A. People believe they don’t need to develop their science any more.

B. People are satisfied with the comfortable life high-tech devices bring to them.

C. People think high-tech devices destroy the environment.

D. People don’t want to live the modernized life.

【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Older people are probably more interested in science in Japan.

B. About one-third of Japanese people in their 50s use computers.

C. Japan’s youth live too comfortably to take interest in science.

D. Electronic devices are made of parts that can not be seen at all.

22、Did you know that all human beings have a “comfort zone” regulating the distance they stand from someone when they talk? This distance varies in interesting ways among people of different cultures.

Greeks, some of the Eastern Mediterranean, and many of those from South America normally stand quite close together when they talk, often moving their faces even closer as they warm up in a conversation. North Americans find this awkward and often back away a few inches. Studies have found that they tend to feel most comfortable at about 12 inches apart. In much of Asia and Africa, there’s even more space between two speakers in conversation. This greater space subtly lends an air of dignity and respect. This matter of space is nearly always unconscious, but it is interesting to observe.

This difference applies also to the closeness with which people sit together, the extent to which they lean over one another in conversation, how they move as they argue or make an emphatic (强调的) point. In the United States, for example, people try to keep their bodies apart even in a crowded elevator; in Paris they take it as it comes!

Although North Americans have a relatively wide “comfort zone” for talking, they communicate a great deal with their hands—not only with gesture but also with touch. They put a sympathetic hand on a person’s shoulder to demonstrate warmth of feeling or an arm around him in sympathy; they pat an arm in reassurance or stroke a child’s head in fondness; they readily take someone’s arm to help him across a street or direct him along an unfamiliar route. To many people –especially those from Asia or the Muslim countries—such bodily contact is unwelcome, especially if done with the left hand. The left hand carries no special significance in the United States. Many Americans are simple left-handed and use that hand more.

【1】What would most probably happen when a Greek meets a North American?

A．The Greek keeps 12 inches apart from the North American.

B．The Greek can keep a comfortable distance with the North American.

C．The North American accepts the Greek distance when they become friends.

D．The North American keeps backing away while the Greeks keeps moving closer.

【2】It can be inferred from the passage that the Frenchmen _________.

A．move closer when they want to emphasize a point

B．use more body language to interact with others

C．sit farther apart when they talk in a large room

D．Don’t mind bodily contact in a crowded elevator

【3】Touching with the left hand is regarded as __________ in the Muslim countries.

A．a meaningless gesture

B．an offending action

C．an unintentional mistake

D．an ill-intentioned joke

23、   There's a lot for teenagers to do! Trying new thing is a great way to become more independent, explore your own interests and learn about other places and cultures. 【1】

What about going to a festival? 【2】 Camp festival has The Den, an area for 13-17 year olds, with music, DJs, workshops and activities. - no adults allowed! The three-day Larmer Tree Festival has an excellent Youth Zone where you can chill out(放松). 【3】 I’d also recommend(推荐)the Citadel. That one is a one-day event, so it's an ideal first-time festival.

What could be better than hiking(远足)in the countryside and staying somewhere beautiful overnight? The Youth Hostels Association has over 200 places to stay in England and Wales, and many of them are close to national parks. The hostels are clean and warm, and they have everything you need. Last summer, I went youth hostelling for four days with a group of friends in the Peak District. 【4】 What we really liked was being able to cook all our own meals in the kitchen. A one-night stay costs less than ₤20, so it's a bargain.

【5】 You won't have to organise anything because there are adults to help. But don't worry, they won’t tell you what to do, and you’ll get a lot of freedom to do what you want. Some tours even include volunteer programmes, language programmes or specialities such as photography, so there's something for everyone. One thing's certain: you'll meet lots of other young people and have a great time.

A. Here are just a few ideas

B. We stayed each night at a different hostel.

C. You’ll need a separate ticket for each journey.

D. Camp Bestival and Larmer Tree are really teen-friendly.

E. It's a great way to see some of Europe's most amazing sights.

F. There are also over 50 bands to watch on three different stages.

G. If you love traveling, there are plenty of group tours for teens.

24、Introduction

Blenheim Palace is one of the Europe’s largest and greatest palaces. It was built between 1705 and 1722 as a reward of the British government to John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, for defeating King Louis XIV’s army at Blenheim, a small Bavarian village on the Danube River.

The palace was designed by Sir John Vanbrugh, which displayed strength and arm glory. It is the largest non-royal building in England and is now listed by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Winston Churchill, who was to become the UK's Prime Minister (some would say Britain’s greatest 20th-century politician ) and Nobel prize winner for literature. It is also in Blenheim that Winston got married to Clementine Hozier in 1908.

A lasting exhibition is devoted to the man’s life, work and writings. Winston and his wife are buried in Bladon Church within the palace.
