21、In the first year or so of Web business, most of the action has revolved around efforts to tap the consumer market. More recently, as the Web proved to be more than a fashion, companies have started to buy and sell products and services with one another. Such business-to-business sales make sense because business people typically know what product they are looking for.
However, many companies still hesitate to use the Web because of doubts about its reliability. “Businesses need to feel they can trust the pathway between them and the suppliers,” says senior analyst Blane Erwin of Forrester Research. Some companies are limiting the risk by conducting online transactions only with established business partners who are given access to the company’s private Internet.
Another major shift in the model for Internet commerce concerns the technology available for marketing. Until recently, Internet marketing activities have focused on strategies to “pull” customers to sites. In the past year, however, software companies have developed tools that allow companies to “push” information directly onto consumers. Companies such as Virtual Vineyards are already starting to use similar technologies to push messages to customers about special sales, product offerings, or other events. But push technology has earned the contempt of many Web users. Online culture thinks highly of the notion that the information flowing onto the screen comes there by specific request. Once commercial promotion begins to fill the screen uninvited, the distinction between the Web and television fades. That’s a prospect that horrifies Net purists.
But it is nearly inevitable that companies on the Web will need to resort to past strategies to make money. A Web site selling the right kind of products with the right mix of interactivity, hospitality, and security will attract online customers. And the cost of computing power continues to free fall, which is a good sign for any enterprises setting up shop in silicon. People looking back 5 or 10 years from now may well wonder why so few companies took the online plunge.
【1】All of the following statements are true EXCEPT that ________.
A. two major shifts in Internet commerce are mentioned in this passage
B. in some way, the Web acts as the pathway
C. “push” technology enjoys low reputation among Web users
D. many companies began to take the online plunge decades ago.
【2】In the view of Net purist, ________.
A. there should be no marketing messages in online culture
B. money making should be given priority on the Web
C. the Web should be able to function as the television set
D. there should be no online commercial information without requests
【3】The term “past strategies” (Line 1, Para. 4) refers to ________.
A. interactivity, hospitality and security B. business-to-business sales
C. “push technology” D. online marketing
【4】The author’s tone of writing this passage is ________.
A. pessimistic B. hopeful
C. disappointed D. indifferent
22、The idea that you can use humor, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play has an important part in keeping you healthy.
Use "the best medicine" to treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closely tied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.
Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it’s for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive(认知的) falling.
Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humor, laughter and play to make our life more active, interesting and happier.
【1】What does the underlined word "infectious" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Playing an important role. B. Keeping people in high spirits.
C. Quickly influencing other people. D. Preventing illness from spreading.
【2】What can laughter increase according to the author?
A. Cognitive ability. B. Good relationships.
C. A sense of humor. D. Happiness and trust.
【3】What does the author think the old should do?
A. They should have a good rest. B. They should play like children.
C. They should prevent cognitive falling. D. They should take part in physical play.
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Humor, Laughter and Play for Health B. Always Keep Our Body Healthy
C. Have an Active and Happy Life D. Let Our Body and Mind Relax
23、Our world is full of sounds. Sound is so essential to life and survival that it made Tel Aviv University researcher Lilach Hadany ask: What if it wasn't just animals that could sense sound—what if plants could, too?
“Sounds are a natural resource-one that plants would be wasting if they didn’t take advantage of it as animals do,”said Hadany. If plants had a way of hearing and responding to sound, she figured, it could help them survive and reproduce.
Hadany's team started their study by investigating flowers. Evening primrose（夜来香）, which grows wild on the beaches and in parks around Tel Aviv, emerged as a good candidate, since it has a long bloom time and produces measurable quantities of nectar（花蜜）.
To test the primroses in the lab, Hadany's team exposed plants to five sound treatments: silence, recordings of a honeybee from four inches away, and computer generated sounds in low, intermediate（中等的）, and high frequencies. Plants given the silent treatment had no significant increase in nectar sugar concentration. The same went for plants exposed to high-frequency（158 to 160 kilohertz）and intermediate-frequency（34 to 35 kilohertz）sounds.
But for plants exposed to playbacks of bee sounds（0.2 to 0.5 kilohertz）and similarly low-frequency sounds（0.05 to 1 kilohertz）, the final analysis revealed an unmistakable response. Within three minutes of exposure to these recordings, nectar sugar concentration in the plants increased by 20 percent.
A sweeter treat for pollinators（传粉者）, their theory goes, may draw in more insects, potentially increasing the chances of successful cross-pollination. Indeed, in field observations, researchers found that pollinators were more than nine times more common around plants another pollinator had visited within the previous six minutes.
“We were quite surprised when we found out that it actually worked.” said Hadany.“But after repeating it in other situations, in different seasons, and with plants grown both indoors and outdoors, we feel very confident in the result.”
【1】Why did Hadany's team expose plants to sound treatments?
A．To see if they would respond to sound.
B．To develop their ability to receive sound.
C．To help them benefit from different sounds.
D．To detect the difference between plants and animals.
【2】Which of the following can bring a sweeter treat for pollinators?
A．Flowers like primroses
B．Sounds like those of bees.
C．Visits from other pollinators.
D．Exposure to different sounds
【3】What can be concluded from the study?
A．Plants can identify different sounds.
B．Sound attracts more pollinators to flowers.
C．Plants produce nectar when pollinators come.
D．Sound plays an important role in insects’ survival.
【4】How did Hadany feel about their discovery described in paragraph 5 at first?
A．It was doubtful.
B．It was unexpected.
C．It was acceptable
D．It was satisfactory.
24、Jeremi was doing homework when he heard a thump (重击声). A bird had flown into the window and fallen onto the balcony. Jeremi rushed to check. Just when he was about to open the door, it flew away.
Not all birds are so lucky. According to a study , between 365 million and a billion birds are killed each year in the United States by flying into glass.
“Birds don’t mean to fly into buildings. It’s the reflectivity of the windows that tricks them,” says Christine Sheppard, director of the glass-collisions program at the American Bird Conservancy. “When birds see reflections of trees — to them, they are just more trees that they can fly into.”
Sheppard and others, including environmentalists and building designers, work to make buildings bird-friendly to lower the number of bird collisions. One method is to use less glass. Another is to cover a glass building with some kind of screen. A third method is to use special glass.
Officials agreed to use patterned glass to take the place of some glass in 2009. Building designer Piselli worked on the project. “We need to consider what humans need and what birds need,” Piselli says. He notes that with glass, “ the main thing is to put something on it that birds can see, so they are not tricked by reflections and people can still enjoy daylight through the glass.”
Work on the Javits Center project was completed in 2014. “We ended up bringing down collisions by more than 90%,” Piselli says.
【1】Why did the author think the bird was lucky?
A．It wasn’t hurt by an enemy.
B．It could fly freely in the sky.
C．It wasn’t killed after hitting the window.
D．It received good care from its owner.
【2】Why do birds fly into buildings according to Christine Sheppard?
A．They need to stop to have a rest.
B．They want to play tricks on humans.
C．They’re trying to get inside the buildings.
D．They’re confused by reflections in the windows.
【3】What is paragraph 4 mainly about ?
A．Reasons for making friends with birds.
B．Ways to make buildings safer for birds.
C．The disadvantages of glass windows.
D．Great examples of new high buildings.
【4】How did the Javits Center project turn out?
A．It was very successful.
B．It was unacceptable to bird lovers.
C．It took longer to complete than expected.
D．It played a big role in stopping air pollution.
