21、If you are in a dilemma about being self-taught or getting formal education, you have come to the right webpage. In this article, we note the advantages of each of these to help you decide which one would be the best for you.

Perhaps the biggest advantage of being self-taught is that you are able to save a lot of money. With each passing year, the cost of getting a degree is on the rise. As a result, many students these days tend to graduate from college with a significant amount of debt. This makes it necessary for them to get a job as soon as possible, otherwise a number of serious issues may arise. Besides, it is possible to learn faster on your own, by focusing on only those areas that you are interested in. Finally, learning on your own can be a great confidence builder. You have to struggle to gain knowledge but once you clear the basics on your own, you will find yourself being much more confident about your abilities.

One of the biggest advantages of formal education is that you get a degree which is a mark of recognition that you have achieved a level of knowledge in that particular field. Many companies tend to prefer candidates who have a college degree. What’s more, though formal education lacks the convenience and flexibility of self-education, it offers you much more in terms of the actual structure of the learning process. Last, being formally educated means that you will enter a college or other similar educational institutions. There you will get the benefit of being taught and guided by learned teachers and other subject experts. This will be a big benefit as you will be able to lake advantage of their experience and gain in-depth knowledge about the subject.

Thus, both formal education and self-education have their own sets of advantages. The choice between the two comes down to individual preferences as well as personal situations.

【1】Which of the following is an advantage of self-education?

A. A faster pace of learning.

B. Being guided by subject experts.

C. A wider range of ways to gain knowledge.

D. Having more chances of getting part-time jobs.

【2】To get the benefit of being taught by learned experts, you should_______.

A. choose self-education

B. enter an educational institution

C. work fur learned teachers

D. make use of webpages about education

【3】What is the most important factor in choosing the way of education?

A. The reputation of educational institutions.

B. The knowledge of teachers and experts.

C. The opinions of relatives and friends.

D. One's preference and situations.

【4】What the author’s purpose of writing this text?

A. To promote a webpage about education.

B. To prove that self-education is the best choice.

C. To help readers choose between two form of education.

D. To prove that it’s difficult to decide on the proper education.

22、NASA has flown an aircraft on another planet for the first time. On Monday, April 19, Ingenuity, a 1. 8-kilogram drone (无人机) helicopter, took off from the surface of Mars, flew up about three meters, then hovered for 40 seconds and took photos above with one of its two cameras. The historic moment was livestreamed on YouTube. “We can now say that human beings have flown a drone helicopter on another planet,” said MiMi Aung, the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, at a press conference. “We, together, flew at Mars, and we, together, now have our Wright brothers moment,” she added, referring to the first powered airplane flight on Earth in 1903.

The details: The flight was a significant technical challenge, thanks to Mars' s bone-chilling temperatures (nights can drop down to -130 °F / -90 °C) and its incredibly thin atmosphere — just 1% the density of Earth' s. That meant Ingenuity had to be light, with rotor blades (螺旋桨) that were bigger and faster than would be needed to achieve liftoff on Earth (although the gravity on Mars, which is only about one-third of Earth's, worked in its favor). The flight had originally been scheduled to take place on April 11 but was delayed by software issues.

Why it's significant: Beyond being a significant milestone for Mars exploration, the flight will also pave the way for engineers to think about new ways to explore other planets. Future drone helicopters could help astronauts by scoping out locations, exploring inaccessible areas, and capturing images. Ingenuity will also help inform the design of Dragonfly, a car-size drone that NASA is planning to send to Saturn's moon Titan in 2027.

What's next: In the next few weeks, Ingenuity will conduct four more flights, each lasting up to 90 seconds. Each one is designed to further push the limits of Ingenuity's capabilities. Ingenuity is only designed to last for 30 Martian days, and is expected to stop functioning around

May 4. Its final resting place will be in the Jezero Crater as NASA moves on to the main focus of its mission: Getting the Perseverance rover (毅力号火星探测器) to study Mars for evidence of life.

【1】Why does MiMi Aung mention Wright brothers?

A．To honor the historic contribution of Wright brothers.

B．To make a comparison between Wright brothers and herself.

C．To highlight the importance of Ingenuity's Martian exploration.

D．To remind the public of the first powered airplane flight on Earth.

【2】What caused challenges for Ingenuity designers?

A．The delay of software tests.

B．The force of gravity on Mars.

C．Mars's temperatures and atmosphere.

D．Technical difficulty in liftoff on Earth.

【3】What does the underlined word “milestone” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．A great victory.

B．A difficult task.

C．A roadside stone.

D．A historic event.

【4】Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Mars Drone Helicopter Makes Historic First Flight

23、Instagram is a fast，beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family．Take a picture or video，choose a filter to transform its look and feel．and then post to Instagram—it’s that easy．You can even share to Facebook．Twitter and more．It’s a new way to see the world．So many photos of food are contained on Instagram—now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks．

I always thought people’s taking pictures of their food was kind of silly，but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK，I’d probably do it too．“The Picture House”is the world’s first pay-by-photo restaurant—yon order，click a photo of the food，share on Instagram and eat for free!

The testaurant belongs to frozen food giant(巨人)Birds Eye，who came up with the idea to cash in on people’s addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online．They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals．So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range．

The pop-up diner was open in Soho，London for three days in May，and is now moving to other   major UK cities．They serve two-course meals that customers don’t have to pay for，if they photo and Instagram it.

The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye’s “Food for Life”campaign，a new marketing project that  aims at changing the way people look at frozen food．“Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special，”said marketing director Margaret Jobling．

The reaction to the Picture House has been great so far And the pay-by-picture concept has  proven to be an effective way．Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses．Last year in a care in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there，not by what they eat．

【1】Instagram probably is________．

A．a program used to share photos

B．a campaign of“Food for Life”

C．a restaurant free of charge

D．a new marketing project

24、The narwhal is a mysterious resident of the remote Arctic. The species, a relatively small whale is known for growing a spiral tusk （螺旋长牙）that resembles the historical description of a unicorn's horn.

Experts have long speculated why narwhals have this strange long tooth. Some think that the tusk is a tool for survival, as they could possibly use it to break up ice or spear fish for meals. However, the vast majority of female narwhals don't have tusks, and females tend to live longer than males. Most scientists now think the tusk provides no advantage for survival, but rather acts as a sex characteristic and determines the social rank. But the tusk may also have another purpose. A 2014 study found the narwhal's tusk is full of sensitive nerve endings that allow the whale to detect changes in the environment, such as changes in temperature and salinity. The finding suggests that the tusk might also be a sensory organ.

Narwhals are an important subsistence resource （生存资源）for high Arctic communities. They provide the humans with high-calorie fat, protein and nutrients, vital and hard to come by in the harsh northern winters. Narwhal tusks were carved into artworks and sold to support families with few job opportunities.

Narwhal tusk is protected now. But similar to all other Arctic wildlife, narwhals are likely to struggle in the face of climate change. Warm temperatures in the Arctic have caused sea ice to disappear at an alarming rate. New shipping channels have become accessible, threatening narwhals and other marine mammals. Researches suggest that narwhals are the most vulnerable （易受伤害的）marine mammals to human activities in the Arctic because these isolated creatures are highly sensitive to ship activities. Their response to changing conditions near the pole could provide insight into larger changes in Earth's future.

【1】What does the underlined word "speculated" in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Known.

B．Guessed.

C．Overlooked.

D．Concluded.

【2】What did the 2014 study find about the narwhal's tusk?

A．It is an indicator of gender.

B．It reveals narwhals' social rank.

C．It can sense changes in the water.

D．It can be used to dig fish for meals.

【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．The conservation of narwhals is a must.

B．The situation of climate change is under control.

C．Some human activities affect mammals slightly.

D．Narwhals are under the threat of being hunted.

【4】What might be the best title for the text?

A．Research on Narwhals' Tusk

B．Insight into Climate Changes

C．Narwhals ： Feature and Behavior

D．Narwhals ： Mysterious Sea Unicorns

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Take care of your spine (脊柱)

The spine stands at the center of your health, providing your body with structure and support. It also contains your spinal cord, a massive collection of nerves conveying electric signals from the rest of your body to your brain. Since your spine is so central to health, it's important to look after it.

Maintain good posture (姿势)is one of the most important things you can do to keep you spine healthy. Proper posture means standing or sitting while keeping your spine straight, except for its natural curves. Posture comes into play even when you're asleep. Sleeping on you side puts less stress on your spine than most other positions. Staying still for too long----even if your posture is good---can be hard on your back. Especially if you look at a desk most of the day, it's important to get up and stretch periodically.

Exercise is also an important factor in the health of your spine. Stretches can help the muscles around your spine relax and allow bones to shift into better arrangement. Strength exercises like pushups can also help by strengthening the muscles around your spine. However, don't overdo the exercise, as repeated motions can strain the muscles around your spine.

Finally, your diet affects the health of your spine because many vitamins are necessary for bones and nerves. In particular, B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids keep nerves healthy, so you may want to consider taking a supplement. Another important factor is vitamin D, which is essential for strong bones. Vitamin D can come from some foods, but it's also absorbed from sunlight, so it may help to do some of those back exercises outside.

Many of the actions necessary to keep your spine healthy are identical to those need to preserve your health in other ways. So protect our back, and the rest of body will benefit.
