21、 You most likely have not heard of Jerry Lawson. But there is a good chance that he has an effect on your life! Especially if you've ever played a video game.
Jerry Lawson had a love of science and invention from a very young age. And, with support from his family and teachers, he took that love and helped change the world for billions of people, when he invented the modern video game cartridge.
Both of Jerry's parents supported his love of science and invention. His father, a longshoreman, was a science fan and encouraged Jerry to always experiment with things. Jerry's first-grade teacher helped encourage him to be someone influential similar to George Washington Carver, a great African American inventor.
Jerry earned an amateur radio license at age 13 and built his own radio station in his room. He earned money fixing television sets, visiting people's homes for in-house repair, and also working at local electronics stores. He would use his small allowance and money he earned to buy parts to help fuel his inventions.
When he was a young adult, Jerry joined Fairchild Semiconductor as an engineer. A few years later, Jerry was asked to work on a secret project. Not even his boss was allowed to know what he was doing! What it turned out to be was that he was designing the Fairchild Channel F video game console and leading the team that invented the video game cartridge. This was the first of its kind and enabled kids around the world to affordably play video games at home.
Just like with automobiles, many advances have occurred since the invention of video games. Video games are now one of the biggest forms of entertainment in the world. But all of this would not have been possible without the vision, passion, and skill of Jerry Lawson and his team.
【1】What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

22、The goings-on in the consulting room have become more transparent(透明的)recently. Thank goodness. We know more than the lines supplied by the movies in which the therapist knows all and gives wisdom to those who, sitting on a couch, consult with them. Therapists are interested in how the individual, the couple or the family experiences and understands their difficulties. That has to be a starting place. We can be of value if our first port of call is to listen, to gradually feel ourselves into the shoes of the other, to absorb the feelings that are being conveyed and to think and then to say some words.
The thinking and talking that I do inside the consulting room is at odds with many features of ordinary conversation. Not that it is mysterious, but it isn't concerned with traditional ways of sharing or identifying. The therapist makes patterns and theories, but they are also reflecting on the words that are spoken, how they are delivered and how the words, once spoken, affect the speaker and the therapist themselves.
Words can give voice to previously unknown feelings and thoughts. That’s why it’s called the talking cure. But just as words reveal so, too, can they obscure, and this gets us to the listening and feeling part of the therapy. Whatever and however the words are delivered, they will have an impact on me as a therapist. I might feel hopeless, I might feel energized, I might feel pushed away, I might feel demanded of, I might feel pulled to find solutions.
The influence of the other is what makes any relationship possible or impossible. A therapist is trained to reflect on how those who consult with them affect them. As I try to step into the shoes of the other and then out again, my effort is to hold both those experiences, plus an awareness of my ease or discomfort with what I encounter in the relationship.
Feelings are the bread and butter of our work in the consulting room. They inform or modify our ideas and they enable us to find an emotional bridge to what can so hurt for the people we are working with. Along with the more commonly thought-about theories and ideas we have about the psyche, they are an essential part of the therapist's toolkit, certainly for me. The talking cure means talking, yes. It also means the therapist is listening, thinking and feeling.
【1】In which way is the thinking and talking the writer does different from ordinary conversation?
A.It may not be understood by patients.
B.It is full of terms used by most therapists.
C.It is a good reflection of traditional talking.
D.It involves thinking about how people speak.
【2】The word" obscure"(paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to________.
A.cancel
B.clarify
C.confirm
D.conceal
【3】Which of the following is the writer most likely to agree with?
A.Patients' influence has been neglected by therapists for too long a time.
B.Therapists need to think from their own perspectives as well as patients'.
C.It is no easy job for therapists to realize how uncomfortable their patients are.
D.Therapists had better push away those negative emotions acquired from patients.
【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A.Awareness of feelings
B.It’s good to talk—and listen
C.Theories that help therapists
D.What is the point of being a therapist
23、Interpreted Theatres
Deaf people should enjoy a play as much as the hearing audience.【1】Theatre producers, on the other hand, are beginning to realise that theatre interpretation makes their product attractive to a wider audience-with considerable financial rewards.
The most important technical aspect of theatre interpretation for the deaf is the location of the interpreter. Placement strategies can be categorized into three styles: “placed” “zoned” and finally, “shadowed”.
The “placed” style of interpretation, where interpreters are located outside the acting space and do not move, is by far the most common. The interpreters are side-by-side and face the audience. The location of the interpreter is generally in one of three places: stage right or stage left, or on the floor of the house.
The “zoned” style of interpreter placement is a happy medium between the “placed” and “shadowed” styles.【2】Usually, they change position on stage from scene to scene—or from act to act—in order to be within the same “zone” as the majority of the action. Zone placement makes it easier for the deaf audience to see the interpreters and actors at the same time.
【3】It involves placing the interpreters directly within the action—nearly making them “sign language actors”. The interpreters are “blocked” into each scene, and shadow the actors. The advantage of this is clear: the interpreter is so close to the actor that the deaf audience need not make a decision about whom to watch—he or she can watch both at the same time. In the best of cases, the deaf audience mentally mix the interpreter with the actor, and forget that the actor does not sign.
Theatre interpreters for the deaf are dedicated professionals who take great pride in their work. “Theatre”, says Ian, who works for See Theatre, a Chicago-based association for interpreters “is the art of communicating beautiful ideas in interesting ways”. 【4】Thankfully, instead of seeing us as ‘additions’, producers nowadays think of interpreters for the deaf as a new avenue to creativity.
A.Interpreted theatre has long been neglected without taking the issue of their access into consideration.
B.The “shadowed” style of interpreting is the most inclusive style of interpreting for the theatre.
C.This is the thinking behind the Americans with Disabilities Act, which requires that theatres become accessible to deaf people.
D.Interpreters move about in order not to block the audience's view.
E.Interpreted theatre, therefore, is an art in itself.
F.Here, interpreters are placed side-by-side within the acting space.
24、A survey said the average Asian dad spent one minute a day with his children.I was shocked. I mean, a whole minute? Every day? Get real. Once a week maybe. The fact is, many Asian males are terrible at kid—related things. In fact, I am one of them.
Child—rearing (养育) doesn’t come naturally to guys. My mother knew the names of our teachers, best friends and crushes. My dad was only vaguely aware there were short people sharing the apartment. My mother bought healthy fresh food at the market every day. My dad would only go shopping when there was nothing in the fridge except a jar of capers and a bay leaf.Then he’ d buy beer. My mother always knew the right questions to ask our teachers. My dad would ask my English teacher if she could get us a discount on school fees.My mother served kid food to kids. My dad added chili sauce to everything, including our baby food.
The truth is, mothers have superpowers. My son fell off a wall once and hurt himself all over. I demanded someone bring me a computer so I could google what to do. My wife ignored me and did some sort of chanting phrase such as “Mummy kiss it better,” and cured l7 separate injuries in less than 15 seconds.
Yes, mothers are incredible people, but they are not always right. Yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99.99 percent of the time.Here are some famous slip-ups.
The mother of Bill Gates: “ If you’ re going to drop out of college and hang out with your nerdy friends, don’ t come running to me when you find yourself penniless.” The mother of Albert Einstein: “When you grow up, you’ ll find that sitting around thinking about the nature of time and space won’ t pay the grocery bills.” The mother of George W.Bush: “You’ll never be like your dad, who became President of the United States and started his own war.”
【1】The tone for the writer to write the passage is .
A. cruel B. humorous C. disapproving D. critical
【2】In paragraph 2 the writer makes a comparison between mothers and fathers to prove that .
A. females love kids more than males
B. males are not good at child—rearing
C. my dad is not interested in child-rearing
D. child-rearing is difficult both for females and males
【3】What does the underlined word “slip-ups” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. stories B. shortcomings C. mistakes D. advantages
【4】The last paragraph is mainly developed by .
A. providing different examples
B. following the order of space
C. making comparisons
D. analyzing causes
25、Friendly Laughter
Most people can share a laugh with a total stranger. But there are subtle - and _______ -- differences in our laughs with friends.
Greg Bryant, a cognitive scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, and his colleagues previously found that adults from 24 societies around the world can distinguish simultaneous "co-laughter" between friends from that between strangers. The findings suggested that his ability may be _______ used to help read social interactions. So the researchers wondered: Can babies distinguish such laughter, too?
Bryant and his fellow researcher Athena Vouloumanos, a developmental psychologist at New York University, played recording of co-laughter between _______ of either friends or strangers to 24 five-month-old infants in New York City. The babies listened _______ to the laughs shared between buddies - suggesting they could tell the two types apart, according to a study published in March in Scientific Reports.
The researchers then showed the babies short videos of two people acting either like friends or strangers and paired those with the _______ recordings. The babies stared for longer at clips paired with a mismatched recording - for example, if they saw friends _______ but heard strangers laughing.
"There's something about co-laughter that is giving _______ to even a five-month-old about the social relationship between the individuals," Bryant says. Exactly what components of laughter the infants are detecting remains to be seen, but prior work by Bryant's team provides _______. Laughs between friends tend to include greater variations in pitch and _______, for example.
Such characteristics also distinguish ________ laughs from fake ones. Many scientists think heartfelt laughter most likely ________ from play vocalizations, which are also produced by nonhuman primates, rodents and other mammals. Fake laughter probably emerged later in humans, ________ that ability to produce a wide range of speech sounds. The researchers suggest that we may be ________ to spontaneous(自发的)laughter during development because of its long evolutionary history.
It's really cool to see how early infants are distinguishing between different forms of laughter," says Adrienne Wood, a psychologist at the University of Virginia, who was not involved in the study. "Almost every ________ moment is a social interaction for babies. Therefore it ________ that they are becoming very much accustomed to their social worlds."
【1】A.distinct B.invisible C.detectable D.conscious
