21、Six weeks before his birthday, Giuseppe Paternò achieved the dream of a lifetime: He got a university degree.

Mr. Paternò's graduation has inspired news coverage around the world, partly because of his age. But he has mainly drawn attention because his life story speaks of commitment, a theme that has encouraged as millions of schoolchildren in Italy and elsewhere faces extraordinary uncertainty during the coronavirus pandemic.

Born in Palermo in 1923, the first of seven children in a “very poor family,” Mr. Paternò began working soon after finishing elementary school. “The family was large, there was only one paycheck, we were under fascism, and times were tough,” he said.

Eventually, he ended up at a publishing house where an enlightened boss persuaded his father to send him back to school for a three-year vocational degree. Mr. Paternò then worked for an insurance agency while he took private classes to become a telegraph operator. He used skills from the operator job when he was drafted into the navy in World War II. The job also opened doors to the State Railways Company, where he worked for more than four decades.

It was only after he retired, in the mid-1980s, that he returned to his books, taking theology courses through the Archdiocese of Palermo after a chance meeting with a philosophy professor who urged him to follow his love.

Mr. Paterno's son, Ninni Paternò, said that the family had not expected all the attention. “It's unbelievable!” the vounger Paternò said of his father. “He achieved his goal, but he didn't mean to be famous in newspapers around the world.”

University officials are hoping that Mr. Paternò will continue his studies on waster's course. But he isn't so sure. “I have to admit that in this moment, I don't know whether I would do it with the same spirit,” he said on Wednesday. Still, Mr. Paternò said he would probably continue anyway.

【1】What's the main reason for the world to report Mr. Paternò's graduation?

A．His experience shows the spirit of commitment.

B．Mr. Paternò achieved his dream at an old age.

C．His graduation ceremony was during the coronavirus pandemic.

【2】What does the underline word “this job” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A．Working for an insurance company.

B．Severing in the navy in World War II.

C．A telegraph operator.

D．The job in the State Railway Company.

【3】What can we learn about Mr. Paternò's son's words?

A．The family had not agreed Mr. Paternò's decision.

B．Mr. Paternò didn't want to gain the world's attention.

C．Mr. Paternò suffered a lot to achieve his goal.

D．Mr. Paternò's achievement is not worth mentioning.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A．It's never too late to achieve a dream.

B．No pains, no gains.

C．Young at heart.

D．Practice makes perfect.

22、   A Dutch company has developed technology to follow the movements and activities of cows. The high-tech system, powered by AI and motion sensors, is called “The Intelligent Dairy Farmer’s Assistant.” The company, Connecterra, launched the system in the United States in December after several years of testing and operations in Europe.

A device is put around the neck of the cow to record its movements. This information is then processed by a computer that uses AI to learn about the animal’s behavior over time. The system can tell farmers what the cow is doing in real time. This information can help predict when cattle get sick, become less productive or are ready for mating.

Richard Watson owns the Seven Oaks Dairy in Waynesboro, Georgia. He was one of the first American farmers to use the high-tech system.

“It can pick up whether the cow is eating, whether it is walking, whether it is drinking, whether it is laying down, standing up.”

Watson said the system is a big help because it is impossible for farmers to keep up with the activities of each cow individually. He added that having a computer identify which of his 2,000 cattle need attention could help improve farm productivity by up to 10 percent. He estimates this difference could greatly increase his profits.

“Just a 10 percent or five percent increase, or improvement in productivity, means hundreds of thousands of dollars to us, aside from the fact that we just want happier and healthier and more welfare in our animals, anyway.”

The founder and head of Connecterra is Yasir Khokhar. He says the idea for the system came while he was living on a dairy farm south of Amsterdam.

“It turns out the technology farmers use is really outdated in many aspects,” Khokhar told the Associated Press. He added that most of the technology that does exist is difficult to use. He says modern agriculture greatly needs new technology like this.

The company says information about the cows can be collected and seen on a cellphone or other mobile device. A text message can also inform farmers of concerns involving the animals.

【1】How does “the Intelligent Dairy Farmer’s Assistant” help farmers?

A.By giving alarms to farmers.

B.By focusing farmers’ attention on cattle.

C.By sending real-time information about cows to farmers.

D.By telling farmers which cow is less productive or ready to mate.

【2】What’s Watson’s attitude towards the high-tech system?

A.Indifferent. B.Neutral. C.Passive. D.Confident.

【3】Why did Khokhar come up with the idea of the high tech system?

A.Because he once lived on a diary farm.

B.Because some agricultural technologies were out of date.

C.Because he wanted to increase the income of farmers.

D.Because some farming systems turned out to be a failure.

【4】What does the passage mainly talks about?

A.Modern agriculture in America.

B.Ways of raising cows more efficiently.

C.A Dutch company known as a high- tech system.

D.“Smart Farm” technology tracking behavior of cows.

23、A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.

A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.

Men often discover their affinity (密切关系) to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, “Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this: “Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.

A good book is often the best urn(瓮) of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, if remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters.

Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort.

Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effects of time have been to filter out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.

【1】A good book may be among the best of friends because_____.

A．it changes over the past of time

B．it contains all kinds of knowledge

C．it doesn’t betray us when we are in trouble

D．it comforts us in youth and instructs us in age

【2】“Love me, love my book” in paragraph 3 probably means _______?

A．If you love me, you must reading books.

B．The book can be a bond between friends.

C．I love books as much I love friends.

D．If you love the author, you will love his books.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Time can tell whether a literature is good or bad.

B．All books are our constant companions and comforters.

C．Temples, statues and books cannot stand the test of time.

D．The world of a man’s thoughts is what his life is all about.

【4】The best title for this passage can be______.

A．Reading Books

B．A Good Book

C．Our Best Friend

D．Companionship of Books

24、   How to Eat Slowly to Avoid Overeating

Eating slowly can help you to better understand your real hunger signals and recognize reasons for faster eating, such as emotions or simply liking the taste of food. However, eating slowly is not a decision that you make suddenly. 【1】

1. Adjust you mind. Do not even attempt to acquire the habit of eating slowly before you’re mentally ready. Relax and use your imagination to create mental images that your brain will remember. As part of this mental process, imagine yourself thin and fit.

2. 【2】 Eating slowly isn’t just about slowing down the chewing; it’s also about slowing down your food choices. As you pick out the processed food, replace it with healthy, unprocessed or less processed choices.

3. Always relax before you start eating. Take a few deep breaths through the nose, not through the mouth. As you do so, hold your breath briefly and exhale（呼出） slowly by the mouth. 【3】In this way, you remove any risk of comfortable eating.

4. Drink a glass of water or a small bowl of soup before the main dishes. This will give you a sense of fullness. Be aware that not everyone advocates drinking during a meal, as some people believe that this can remove the nutrients from your meal. 【4】

5. Spend at least 20 minutes on your meal. 【5】 Eat your last portion slowly, if you are still hungry after 20 minutes, because it means you are eating too fast!

A.Put the forks down after putting food in your mouth.

B.Get rid of the stress before you start eating.

C.It’s a habit that you need to acquire with practice.

D.However, specialists believe water actually aids in digestion.

E.Remove as much processed food from your plate or food storage as possible.

F.Have a clock in sight from the table to adjust your eating speed.

G.It is wise to talk to your doctor about this, if it’s still a problem for you.
