21、In the past years a lot of people migrated from one country to another in Europe. They had to leave their countries with their traditions, their cultures and sometimes also their families. People migrate because they think that they will have a better life, they will find a job and they will make a lot of money for their families to survive. Sometimes it's true, and they find a job, they make a lot of money and then they go back to their families to help them. But sometimes they are not that lucky.
The problem that those people create is that a lot of people from Europe are unemployed and they don't have jobs because immigrants have taken so many jobs. But the question is also: Would European people want a job such as cleaning or hard labor? I think that most of them wouldn't. So we should stop criticizing for a moment and think. We would then maybe realize that it's not that bad to have immigrants at home.
The only problem is that it's not right that immigrants want to impose( 强加于 )their religion on other countries by leading and building mosques ( 清真寺). Because if they had done that in other countries they would have caused trouble. Phenomena like these happened a few years ago in Great Britain: It was forbidden to switch on Christmas lights outside, because Christmas is a Catholic ( 天主教的 ) recurrence and it was offensive for the Islamic people who lived there. That is not right. The country that gives hospitality to immigrants has the task to allow them to enter society, to be free to believe in their religion and their culture, but every country does not have to forget its tradition and culture. This is one of the many facts which happened in the past years, and I think that many others are going to happen because this phenomenon is developing every day more and more.
【1】The first paragraph is mainly about__________.
A. what a life Europeans lived
B. why some Europeans migrated
C. how Europeans migrated
D. what migration caused
【2】What's the main problem between the immigrants and the native people according to the passage?
A. Native people and immigrants fight for the same job opportunities.
B. Native people always leave the worst jobs to the immigrants.

D. Native people refuse the immigrants to enter their country.
【3】What does the author think of the European immigrants?
A. It takes them too much trouble to migrate.
B. They have made contributions to the host country.
C. They are offered hard jobs but paid less.
D. They should be accepted in the host country.
【4】We may learn from the passage that__________.
A. some people reject foreigners' immigrating to their own country
B. the author thinks immigrating can help mix different cultures together
C. immigrants to Great Britain were all Islamic people
D. immigrants can only find hard and dirty jobs in other countries
【5】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that__________.
A. people with different religions won' t be allowed to migrate to another country
B. immigrants are not free to believe in their own culture
C. no other European countries but Great Britain have conflicts
D. problems caused by different religions and cultures will exist long
22、An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to (归因于)the global economic crisis (危机) awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.
Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up.
Professor John Beath, the president of the society and a leading lecturer at St Andrews University, said his first-year lectures-which are open to students from all departments-were drawing crowds of 400, rather than the usual 250.
“There are a large number of students who are not economics majors, who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn’t traditionally done.” He said.
University applications rose 7% last year, but there were rises above average in several subjects. Nursing saw a 15% jump, with people’s renewed interest in careers in the public sector(部门), which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.
A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters, and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on, although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain.
Zack Hocking, the head of Child Trust Funds, said: “It’s possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that’s financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.”
【1】Professor John Beath’s lectures are_______ .
A. given in a traditional way
B. connected with the present situation
C. open to both students and their parents
D. warmly received by economics
【2】Careers in the public sector are more attractive because of their_________ .
A. greater stability B. higher pay
C. fewer applications D. better reputation
【3】In the opinion of most parents, __________ .
A.economics should be the focus of school teaching
B.more students should be admitted to universities
C.the teaching of financial matters should be strengthened.
D.children should solve financial problems themselves
【4】According to Hocking, the global economic crisis might make the youngsters_____________ .
A. wiser in money management
B. have access to better equipment
C. confident about their future careers
D. get jobs in Child Trust Funds
【5】 What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Universities have received more applications.
B. Economics is attracting an increasing numbers students
C. College students benefit a lot from economic uncertainty
D. Parents are concerned with children’s subject selection.
23、People Who Made a Difference in Health Care
In the history of human, there were great people who made a difference in health care. Doctors, nurses, research scientists and those who brought in new medicine and techniques helped save millions of lives.
Hippocrates (460-377 BC)
Hippocrates was a great doctor of ancient Greece. Through his careful examination of patients, treatments and success rates, he was able to vastly improve his medical treatment. Hippocrates built up one of the great libraries of medical science in Kos. He is also credited with the Hippocratic oath (誓言) which is still sworn (宣誓) today by medical practitioners.
Florence Nightingale(1820-1910)
British nurse. By serving in the Crimean war, Florence Nightingale was instrumental in changing the role of the nursing profession. Her dedicated service won widespread admiration and led to a significant improvement in the treatment of wounded soldiers.
Dr. Henry Heimlich (1920-2016)
Heimlich was an American surgeon and medical researcher. He came up with a creative and simple procedure to help choking victims. It involves a technique of abdominal thrusts where a person stands behind and applies pressure on the diaphragm to increasingly apply pressure. It is claimed that this has saved the lives of up to 50,000 people. Heimlich himself used it on two people, including an old lady in his nursing home. It is included in guidelines for dealing with choking victims.
Alexander Fleming (1881-1955)

24、Using only a computer and a webcam, interactive animations allow learners to animate their world using Scratch and their own movements. We use a tool called video sensing that uses motion picked up from the webcam to start and engage with digital animations on the screen. The result is something not quite real life but fully immersive and imaginative.
Materials
For this activity, you will need a computer with a webcam and Scratch. That’s it! Consider how your environment or props could enhance your video sensing experience.
Tip: Consistent lighting is very helpful when making more complex video sensing projects.
Set-up Your Scratch Environment
Click the Add an Extension button at the bottom left-hand corner. | Choose Video Sensing to add video blocks. | Go back to the Scratch editor. Now there are additional video sensing blocks and the webcam is turned on. |
Test Your Set-up
Make your first video sensing project with just two blocks. Start with the when video motion block to start your animation. The number inside this block can be between 1 and 100. A value of 1 is very sensitive to movement and a value of 100 is not very sensitive.
When movement is detected through the webcam, what happens next is up to you. Choose a sound, movement, or other reaction to create an interactive story.
Video Transparency
You may notice that when the video camera in Scratch turns on, your video will look faded. To add more saturation to your video, change the value from 50 to 100.
Once your environment is set-up, you’re ready to start interacting directly with your Scratch sprites (动画卡通人物)!Projects can be as varied as your learners' interests, support them in finding a project that’s meaningful to them. As one example, learners can use video sensing in Scratch to bring a book to life!
【1】If Tom wants to make a personalized and complex video sensing project, he should take into account the following factors EXCEPT ______.
A.environment or props
