21、   Back in the 20th century, “the future” meant flying cars and food pills. Now, the future is al about brain uploads.

The idea is that, one day, we will be able to change all our memories and thoughts into advanced software programs. Once the human brain can run on a computer, we will live forever. Sounds cooler than a flying car, right? Wrong. If they ever exist, uploads will be hell (地狱).

In recent decades, scientists and philosophers have started to take a serious interest in the idea of digital versions of brains. Massive research undertakings like the Human Brain Project aim to “simulate (模拟) the human brain in software.

There are plenty of medical applications for a brain simulation. Doctors could use it to model diseases or to test treatments. Neurologists could study it to understand how the human brain works. This isn’t what people like Google’s director of engineering Ray Kurzweil want, though. As he has said in a lot of places, he is looking for upload tech that will make him immortal (不朽的).

Let’s take Kurzweil seriously and assume that someday, a person—let’s call him Boris—will change his own brain into a format suitable for running in devices such as a computer or a robot.

Now Boris’s brain can live forever inside some kind of virtual world like Minecraft, which looks and feels to him like reality. That means his entire universe is dependent on people or companies who run or manage servers, such as Amazon Web Services, to survive.

Boris is going to be subjected to software updates that could change his thoughts. That isn’t the only possible danger. Many other things could also happen if Boris’s brain got stuck inside a robot. He could be reprogrammed as a street cleaner, forced to mop Liverpool’s gutters for weeks, or turned into assembly line arms for a factory that builds Tesla cars.

After all that, is Boris really himself anymore? There is a Boriseque piece of software that might “live” for a long time, but is it really a continuation of Boris the person? And what kind of rights does Boris’s uploaded brain have? He might become the property (财产) of whoever owns the server that runs him.

Becoming an upload won’t allow Boris to live forever. Instead, Boris will die with his body, and a copy of Boris’s brain will be stored on a piece of technology. And, of course, technology dies, so immortality isn’t guaranteed.

【1】What does the author think if Ray Kurzweil’s expectation?

A．He believes it is a worthy cause.

B．He is uninterested in discussing it.

C．He thinks it is way too unrealistic.

D．He is against it because of its high cost.

【2】What does the underlined phrase “be subjected to” in Paragraph 7 mean?

A．Be affected by.

B．Be replaced by.

C．Be polished by.

D．Be accompanied by.

【3】What will happen to Boris according to the author?

A．He will be treated properly

B．He will achieve immortality.

C．He will face an uncertain future.

D．He will take control of technology.

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

A．Will technology die?

B．What does “the future” mean?

C．Store your memories forever.

D．Stop trying to upload your brain.

22、From New York Times: super-achieving moms on Wall Street have househusbands! The report pointed to a tenfold increase (since 1980) in the number of women in finance with stay-at-home husbands, allowing them to achieve success without the distractions of housework and child raising.

【1】 And I don’t doubt the increase in the number of households where husbands and wives are exchanging roles, but this arrangement isn’t really new. The real news is that until recently, noone wanted to admit it.

I’ve been covering the elite(精英) class of big law firms for over 10 years, and I can tell you that many of the women who make it to the top often have a man at home who’s taking care of the kids, planning the meals, and otherwise keeping the fireplace fired up. Indeed, you can go to any number of big firms in New York City where there’s a handful of female partners (the national average for female equity partners has barely surpassed 16%), and the gossip among the associates is that those women in power are either single or married to men who stay at home. “They seem to belong to some sort of househusband club,” said one associate about the female partners with kids.【2】

I sensed that reluctance when I did a story on female partners at big Wall Street firms with househusbands a few years ago. Though three couples were happy to speak to me on the record about their arrangement, many more held back from going public.

Often, successful women are reluctant to admit that their husband is really the one minding the home. “He has primary responsibility for the kids, but he also works on the side,” explained one partner about how her husband spends his time. 【3】 “He’s doing consulting” is a popular explanation.

All of this points to our rooted uncertainty about changing gender roles. Men in these situations often feel alienated (格格不入的)，particularly if they are surrounded by stay-at-home moms. 【4】

A．They just didn't like to talk about it.

B．That formula shouldn’t surprise anyone.

C．We live in a country that doesn’t have much of a safety net for anyone.

D．But when she was pressed about what type of work the husband does, the reply is often vague.

E．This typical arrangement may be more long-lasting if the wife makes an enormous amount of money.

F．But the power moms with the stay-at-home husbands are just as uneasy, often more embarrassed than proud that they’ve upset the traditional order.

23、One day when I was 15 years old, I was making food in the kitchen. My brother came in. He placed his beef next to my thick one and said, “Courtney, your beef is bigger than mine. You don’t need to eat; you’re already obese（极为肥胖的 ）.” Then he walked out laughing. From then on, I was unwilling to wear shorts until I was 30 years old. For the next 15 years, I spent summer after summer roasting in long pants.

But then I met Ragen Chastain. I couldn’t believe that this woman who, like myself, weighed almost 300 pounds, was so energetic and happy in her own skin. I listened as she shared her own journey to recovery and self-love. She talked about how amazing our bodies are, simply because of the things they do every day— like breathing, pumping blood to every cell and walking.

Walking! I was suddenly aware of how foolish I’d been for so long. There’re people who are born without legs, or who lack properly working legs, or who lose their legs, and I’d been hiding my perfectly strong, healthy, beautiful legs in shame. The next day. I bought three pairs of shorts and a sundress and spent the entire summer letting my legs see the sun and feel the breeze.

The next time anyone comment? on your body in a negative （消极的）way, look them straight in the eye, smile and say. “If what you see bothers you so much, feel free to practice the ancient art of looking somewhere else.” That’s Ragen’s own creation, but I don’t think she’ll mind if you use it.

【1】What can we know about the author when she was a teenager?

A．She didn’t like to eat beef.

B．Her parents loved her more.

C．She was fat when she was young.

D．Her brother always helped her.

【2】Which of the following words can best describe Ragen Chastain?

A．Kind and confident.

B．Warm-hearted and careful.

C．Ambitious and honest.

D．Capable and independent.

【3】Why did the author buy three pairs of shorts?

A．The shorts were on sale.

B．Shorts were suitable for the weather.

C．She was inspired by Ragen Chastain.

D．She liked Ragen Chastain.

【4】What does the author want to tell us?

A．Love ourselves and don’t care others’ negative opinion.

B．There are many people who are as fat as us in the world.

C．Dress whatever we want and ignore other’s judgement.

D．Eat as much as possible and don’t care about our bodies.

24、   A little over a year ago on Jan 3, 2019, China’s Chang’e 4 spacecraft did something that had never been done before – landing on the moon’s far side. Ever since then, the rover it carried – Yutu 2 – has been sending back pictures of the lesser-seen side of our neighboring satellite.

Now, the rover has shifted its sight from horizontal to vertical. In a paper published in the journal Science Advances on Feb 26, Chinese scientists revealed the underground structure of the Von Karman crater – the area where Yutu 2 touched down. Using ground-penetrating radar, Yutu 2 was able to detect three distinct layers in the 40 meters beneath the floor of the crater, which Science News compares to “layers of a cake”.

The top 12-meter layer is made up of fine dust and soil—a bit like the frosting on a cake. The second layer, stretching another 12 meters below, contains a great number of large stones that are like “cherries in a fruitcake”, wrote Science News. And the next layer—which runs from 24 meters down to 40 meters – is a mixture of both large and fine materials, just like the whole-wheat bread base of a cake.

This “layered cake” provides us with a glimpse into moon’s four billion-year history – and it was likely to be a violent one.

According to the study’s leader, Su Yan, based at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the rocks in the layers are possibly leftover debris from past impacts, suggesting asteroid collisions. The finer soil is the sign of smaller meteorite collisions, breaking down the rocks into smaller pieces, which were then gradually degraded by the radiation from the sun.

But quite unlike a cake, the moon floor doesn’t just stop at the third layer. Instead, it stretches miles deeper. The reason that Yutu 2’s data stopped at 40 meters was that it reached its maximum range. It may seem like a pity that it couldn’t go any farther for now, but the truth is that the technology has improved a lot since it was first used in 1972 by America’s Apollo 17 orbiter to map the structure of the moon.

“The previous measurements indicated different layers, but they don’t seem to have come up with the level of detail about the physical properties of the subsurface that Chang’e 4 is producing,” Gretchen Benedix, a planetary scientist at Curtin University, Australia, told ABC News.

Forty meters down is just the beginning of our research into the moon’s far side. With the aid of new technology, who knows what we could discover if we delved even deeper?

【1】What does Paragraph 2 suggest?

A.The rover detected the atmosphere of the moon.

B.The rover had left the far side of the moon.

C.The rover discovered the Von Karman crater with its radar.

D.The rover detected the underground structure of a crater.

【2】What does the second layer of the crater contain?

A.Fine dust. B.Soil.

C.Large stones. D.A mixture of both large and fine materials.

【3】What does Paragraph 5 tell us?

A.How important the three layers are to the crater.

B.Why the moon probably had a violent history.

C.How asteroids changed the moon’s surface.

D.Why meteorite collisions happen frequently.

【4】What does Gretchen Benedix probably think of the measurements of Chang’e-4?

A.They lack details. B.They are beyond expectations.

C.They repeated the previous study. D.They are praiseworthy.

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。

We went to New York a few years ago and I had a wonderful time living there. I made many good friends both in the neighbourhood and at school. Then one night, Dad told me, "We're moving back to L.A. You'll go first, and then your mom and I will follow."

It was hard for me to adapt to the new school. I didn't like this school, a high school with some strange rules that I had never heard of. I had no friends there and struggled a lot with study. Besides, I disliked living in the house of my aunt. Luckily, my parents returned and we moved into a small apartment.

However, living with them didn't make my school life much better. They were busy unpacking and managing to adapt to the new environment and their work. They even didn't know what I was experiencing at school, I felt lonely and helpless. "Come on, darling. This move has been difficult for all of us." Mom encouraged me. However, her words didn't help at all.

Then one Friday night, my mom said to me delightedly, "I'm taking you to your grandma's house tomorrow. She has said you're welcome to spend this weekend with her. "But I wasn't happy about this idea. I had never seen my grandma since I was 5. What was I going to do there with her? The next morning, my mom drove me to my grandma's house in the country.

On the long ride, my mom kept reminding me to help grandma do housework and listen to her suggestions. But I just thought, "Grandma isn't anything like me. She can't possibly understand what I am going through. What good suggestions or encouragement can she offer?"

After arriving, my mom left for work. "Hi, Barbie," Grandma said excitedly." Come in. I've got many fun things planned." I just entered the room and said all I wanted was to watch TV.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Paragraph 1:

Then I walked forward，wanting to turn on the TV.

Paragraph 2:

After hearing that，Grandma told me a story of her to encourage me to adapt to my new life.
