21、Tides

The ocean is always moving. Waves are created by soft breezes and by huge storms. The sun and moon pull on the ocean, making the water level rise and fall. 【1】 Ocean tides usually rise and fall twice a day.

When the water level rises, we say the tide is coming in. With each wave, water flows farther up onto the beach. Soon, the water covers the intertidal zone(潮汐带).【2】 Intertidal means “between the tides”.

As the tide comes in, sand and seaweed wash onto the shore. No one can stop the tide, or even slow it down. The tide is too powerful. After the tide rises for about six hours, it begins to fall. 【3】 Water flows away from the beach. The intertidal zone is uncovered. Sand and seaweed float out to sea.

【4】 It forms pools between rocks on shore. Many plants and animals live in these tide pools. Seaweeds, starfish, crabs and snails live there.

You might find a tide pool when you visit an ocean beach. Stay still and watch closely. You might see sea animals. You might see birds hunting in the pools. You might also see animals eating the seaweed and the algae, which is a kind of small plant that grows on rocks. But do be careful.【5】

The ocean tides have been rising and falling for billions of years. All day and all night, the tide keeps coming in, then going out, covering and uncovering the beach.

A．So do shells and pieces of wood.

B．Then we say that the tide is going out.

C．Algae and seaweed make rocks slippery.

D．Some water stays behind when the tide goes out, though.

E．The water’s rising and falling is called the ocean’s tide.

F．Sometimes small fish get trapped there as the tide goes out.

G．The intertidal zone is the area that lies between high tide and low tide.

22、Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.

Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup (基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.

Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.

Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在的) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other unexpected benefits including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communication systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products (副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!

While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.

While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.

【1】Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?

A．To express his doubts.

B．To compare different ideas.

C．To introduce points for discussion.

D．To describe the conditions on Earth.

【2】What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2?

A．Humans are nature-born to do so.

B．Humans have the tendency to fight.

C．Humans may find new sources of food.

D．Humans don’t like to stay in the same place.

【3】What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?

A．Our genetic makeup.

B．Resources on the earth.

C．The adaptive ability of humans.

D．By-products in space exploration.

【4】Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?

A．Space exploration has created many wonders.

B．Space exploration provides the best value for money.

C．Space exploration can benefit science and technology.

D．Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.

23、The French writer Annie Ernaux was awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in literature. The 82-year-old writer is the 16th French writer and the first Frenchwoman to receive the literature prize. In congratulating her, the president of France, Emmanuel Macron said that she was the voice of the freedom of women.

Ernaux was born in Lillebonne in 1940 and grew up in nearby Yvetot, where her parents ran a café and grocery in a working-class part of town. She studied at universities, qualified as a school teacher, and earned a higher degree in modern literature in 1971. In the early 1970s, Ernaux taught at a college, before joining the National Centre Distance Education, where she was employed for 23 years.

Ernaux started her literary career in 1974 with Cleaned Out, an autobiographical novel. In 1984 she won the Renaudot Prize for another of her works A Man’s Place, an autobiographical narrative focusing on her relationship with her father and her experiences growing up in a small town in France. A Woman’s Story was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. Ernaux’s 2008 historical memoir The Years was well-received by French critics. It is the story of a woman and of the society she lived in. The Years won the 2009 Telégramme Readers Prize and the 2016 Strega European Prize. Translated by Alison L. Strayer, The Years was nominated for the International Booker Prize in 2019. Her popularity increased sharply after The Years was shortlisted for the international Booker.

“Her path to authorship was long and difficult, and the story is serious but the language is plain,” Anders Olsson of the Swedish Academy said on Thursday as he announced her award. “And when she with great courage and sharpness shows the physical or mental pain of the experience of class, combining historic and individual experiences to see who you are, she has achieved something admirable and lasting.” Anders Olsson added.

【1】What does Macron think of Annie Ernaux?

A．She has a bad memory of her childhood.

B．She is the 82nd French writer ever awarded.

C．She is concerned about women’s freedom.

D．She is the most outstanding woman writer.

【2】Which book makes Ernaux popular in the world?

A．Cleaned Out.

B．The Years.

C．A Woman’s Story.

D．A Man’s Place.

【3】What can be inferred from Ernaux’s books?

A．Most of her books are about French history.

B．She began her writing career at a young age.

C．Her book is closely related to her strict father.

D．She wrote the book based on her own experiences.

【4】What can we learn from Ernaux’s story?

A．Hold your horses.

B．Hang on to your dreams.

C．Success doesn’t happen overnight.

D．Quitters never win and winners never quit.

24、   An old saying has it that half of all advertising budgets are wasted — the trouble is, no one knows which half. In the internet age, at least in theory, this fraction can be much reduced. By watching what people search for, click on and say online, companies can aim “behavioral” ads at those most likely to buy.

In the past couple of weeks a quarrel has illustrated the value to advertisers of such fine-grained information: Should advertisers assume that people are happy to be tracked and sent behavioral ads? Or should they have explicit permission?

In December 2010 Americas Federal Trade Commission (TC) proposed adding a “do not track” (DNT) option to internet browsers, so that users could tell advertisers that they did not want to be followed. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and Apples Safari both offer DNT; Google’s Chrome is due to do so this year.In February the FTC and the Digital advertising Alliance (DAA) agreed that the industry would get cracking (尽快行动) on responding to DNT requests.

On May 31st Microsoft set off the row.It said that Internet Explorer 10, the version due to appear with Windows & would have DNT as a default (默认值).

Advertisers are horrified.Human nature being what it is, most people stick with default settings. Few switch DNT on now, but if tracking is off it will stay off. Bob Lidice, the chief executive of the Association of National Advertisers, says consumers will be worse off if the industry cannot collect information about their preferences. People will not get fewer ads, he says. “They’ll get less meaningful, less targeted ads.”

It is not yet clear how advertisers will respond. Getting a DNT signal does not oblige anyone to stop tracking, although some companies have promised to do so. Unable to tell whether someone really objects to behavioral ads or whether they are sticking with Microsoft’s default, some may ignore a DNT signal and press on anyway.

Also unclear is why Microsoft has gone it alone. After all, it has an ad business too, which it says will comply with DNT requests, though it is still working out how. If it is trying to upset Google, which relies almost wholly on advertising, it has chosen an indirect method: There is no guarantee that DNT by default will become the norm.DNT does not seem an obviously huge selling point for Window 8 — though the firm has compared some of its other products favorably with Google’s on that count before.Brendon Lynch, Microsoft’s chief privacy officer, blogged: “We believe consumers should have more control: Could it really be that simple?”

【1】It is suggested in Paragraph 1 that “behavioral” ads help advertisers to _________.

A.ease competition among themselves B.lower their operational costs

C.avoid complaints from consumers D.provide better online services

【2】“The industry” (Line 4, Para.3) refers to__________.

A.online advertisers B.e-commerce conductors

C.digital information analysts D.internet browser developers

【3】Bob Liodice holds that setting DNT as a default_________.

A.may cut the number of junk ads B.fails to affect the ad industry

C.will not benefit consumers D.goes against human nature

【4】Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 6?

A.DNT may not serve its intended purpose.

B.Advertisers are willing to implement DNT.

C.DNT is losing its popularity among consumers.

D.Advertisers are obliged to offer behavioral ads.

25、   My family was very concerned for my sister and understandably so. Helen was on a flight from Los Angeles to Phoenix.
