21、Su Min, a 56-year-old retiree from Henan Province in central China, has never been happier. After finishing her family duty as a Chinese woman, Ms. Su is holding a new identity: fearless road-tripper. For six months, this Chinese aunt has been on a solo (独自的) drive across China, recording her journey for more than 1. 35 million followers across several social media platforms.
Before last fall, Ms. Su had rarely traveled. But she had long been fond of the idea of driving. Growing up in Tibet, she sometimes missed the school bus home and had to walk 12 miles through the mountains. Each time a truck passed by, she imagined sitting behind the wheel, safe and comfortable. But cars were rare, and having one seemed impossible. Then, in late 2019, she came across a video online of someone introducing their camping equipment while on a solo road trip. She remembered her childhood dream of driving—the freedom and comfort it had represented.
Over the following months, she watched every video she could find about road trips. She took plentiful notes: which apps they used to find campsites and which tricks they had for saving money. Soon, she made up her mind: Once her grandsons entered preschool, she would embark on a trip of her own. She had bought a small white car several years earlier, with her savings and a monthly pension of around $ 300.
In her videos, she was happy at her newfound freedom. She could go wherever she wanted and stop at any place she liked. Still, Ms. Su got shy when asked about her new fame. “It took me so many years to realize that I had to live for myself.” She paused, “It’s something I’m waking up to, not something that I just am.”
【1】Why was Su Min’s childhood mentioned?
A.To praise her rich imagination.
B.To recall her childhood in Tibet.
C.To indicate her desire for a truck.
D.To show her deep love for road trip.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “embark on” mean in paragraph 3?
A.finish
B.miss
C.start
D.order
【3】How did the solo trip change Su Min?
A.She started to pursue a life of her own.
B.She came to realize the importance of family.
C.She aimed to become an international celebrity.
D.She decided to inspire more women to travel alone.
【4】What’s the best title for the text?
A.A Retired Traveller Promoted Tourism
B.Su Min’s Identity Won World Attention
C.A Chinese Aunt Went on a Solo Road Trip
D.Followers Made Su Min’s Dream Come True
22、 It's 10:30 pm, and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home. Suddenly, a loud noise wakes him up. Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell phone. The message becomes clear: "R U awake?"
Brandon' s use of technology doesn' t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV and three video-game consoles (控制台 ) in his room. With so many choices, it' s no surprise that when he isn' t at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using one or more of these devices. Brandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to18 are spending more time than ever before using electronic devices. How much time? More than seven and a half hours a day on average, the study found.
The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study. Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have cell phones. Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.
Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time. " If you’ve got a chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, why not?" media expert Cheryl Olson says.
Most experts agree technology has much to offer kids. But some worry the kids could be missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out with friends. " It' s a matter of balance," says Olson." You’ve got to work on it. "
Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework. "It' s important to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply, " says Rideout.
With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology use in check is more important than ever. " Kids should try," adds Rideout. " But parents might have to step in sometimes. "
【1】Why do children spend more time in using electronic devices?
A.Because electronic devices are more exciting than before.
B.Because more electronic devices are available to them.
C.Because they have less other activities.
D.Because they have less homework to do.
【2】It is known from the passage that ____.
A.Brandon Blanco feels very annoyed about his late-night text
B.the teenagers using mobile devices have increased by 30% in the past five years
C.most experts think teenagers should not use electronic devices for their studies
D.Cheryl Olson is not surprised about kids' increasing use of mobile devices
【3】Which of the following is an example of multitasking according to the passage?
A.Playing video games on the Internet.
B.Talking on the phone while staying with others.
C.Watching TV while using the computer.
D.Listening to music while relaxing.
【4】The underlined phrase "in check" in the last paragraph can be replaced by "____".
A.in order B.in control C.in store D.in sight
23、 Everybody sleeps, but what people stay up late to catch or wake up early in order not to miss varies by culture. From data collected, it seems the things that cause us to lose the most sleep, on average, are sporting events, time changes, and holidays.
Russia’s late nights and early mornings generally correspond(相一致)to public holidays. On New Year’s Eve, Russians have the world’s latest bedtime, hitting the hay at around 3:30 a. m. Russians also get up an hour later on International Women’s Day, the day for treating and celebrating female relatives.
Similarly, Americans’ late nights, late mornings, and longest sleep fall on three-day weekends.
Canada got the least sleep of the year the night it beat Sweden in the Olympic hockey(冰球)final.
The World Cup is also chiefly responsible for sleep deprivation. The worst night for sleep in the U. K. was the night of the England-Italy match on June 14. British people stayed up a half-hour later to watch it, and then they woke up earlier than usual the next morning thanks to summer nights, the phenomenon in which the sun barely sets in northern countries in the summertime. That was nothing, though, compared to Germans, Italians, and the French, who stayed up around an hour and a half later on various days throughout the summer to watch the World Cup.
It should be made clear that not everyone has a tool to record their sleep patterns; in some of these nations, it’s likely that only the richest people do. And people who select to track their sleep may try to get more sleep than the average person. Even if that’s the case, the above findings are still striking. If the most health-conscious (注重健康的) among us have such deep swings(明显改变)in our sleep levels throughout the year, how much sleep are the rest of us losing?
【1】What do we learn about the Russians regarding sleep?
A.They don’t fall asleep until very late.
B.They don’t sleep much on weekends.
C.They get less sleep on public holidays.
D.They sleep longer than people elsewhere.
【2】The underlined word “deprivation” in the last paragraph but one means_______.
A.depression B.trouble
C.observation D.loss
【3】Why do some rich people use a tool to record their sleep patterns?
A.They want to get more sleep.
B.They have trouble falling asleep.
C.They are involved in a sleep research.
D.They want to go to bed on regular hours.
【4】What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A.It is important to study our sleep patterns.
B.Few people really know the importance of sleep.
C.Sleeplessness does harm to people’s health.
D.Average people probably sleep more than the rich.
24、 Children of all ages gathered in New York City recently for the International Toy Fair. Hidden among already popular toys were new, high-tech educational products. Toymakers are working to create these products for improving a child’s emotional intelligence.
Companies showed off their products last week at New York’s Jacob Javitz Convention Center.
PleIQ is a set of plastic toy blocks. It uses visual reality technology to teach words, numbers and other things. Edison Duran directs the company that makes PleIQ. She showed people at the toy fair how virtual images appear on the blocks when they are held in front of a tablet camera. PleIQ has children act as teacher or guide to a companion character.
On the other side of the convention center, Karen Hu from another company demonstrated an educational robot called Woobo. The robot comes programmed with educational games and activities. Children use its touch-screen face to get them started. Hu described how the robot can help a child who has autism (自闭症). “The child can communicate with Woobo and follow some of the instructions Woobo is giving because he thinks of this as a companion instead of a parent or someone else telling him about certain things.”
At the EQtainment stand, sales director Jonathan Erickson explained the company’s toys. “The purpose of all of our products is to develop emotional and social intelligence.” he said. Erickson showed off a board game called “Q’s Race to the Top”. He said the game got his 4-year-old daughter to open up. “The biggest thing is her talking. And that’s the key of all this—getting her feelings expressed out. Like, ‘Hey, what does it feel like to be sad? Or how does it feel like to be happy?’”
It remains to be seen whether a game or toy can improve emotional intelligence. But toymakers are doing what they can to help parents in their efforts to raise well-rounded children.
【1】How does PleIQ instruct children to learn?
A.By playing the role of a companion. B.By giving direct guidance.
C.By taking photos with a camera. D.By presenting visual images.
【2】What can be inferred about Woobo from Paragraph 4?
A.It is programmed to replace teachers. B.It may be good company for kids.
C.It can get started automatically. D.It is intended to design games.
【3】What does Jonathan Erickson think of his toys?
A.They are quite easy to operate. B.They can teach children numbers.
C.They help kids express themselves well. D.They can show their emotions clearly.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A.Toys are made to help to build emotional intelligence.
B.Educational toys sell well at the International Toy Fair.
C.Toymakers are making profits in education.
D.Children celebrate the International Toy Fair.
