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、Over the past 50 years, robots have become a normal part of our everyday lives. They build cars in factories, clean up dirt in the house and dismantle (拆卸) bombs in war zones. However, some inventors are creating a future where robots not only do boring and dangerous jobs but also become a part of our families.

In 2019, Japanese robotics company Groove X introduced LOVOT, a robot that weighs as much as a baby and looks like a mix between a penguin and a bear. Although LOVOT can’t build a car, it can build a relationship with its owner and provide love, companionship and happiness. In fact, LOVOT is just one of the latest robots meant to help people who are suffering from issues such as loneliness and dementia.

LOVOT has a system of sensors that allows it to move freely around a room and respond to things. For example, people can rub its belly to lull it to sleep when holding LOVOT. Also, when LOVOT needs a hug, it will find its owner in the house and wait until it is picked up. People quickly develop an emotional bond with LOVOT due to its cute design and lifelike traits.

All over the world, robots like LOVOT are being used for “robot-assisted therapy”. For example, when a robot baby seal named PARO was given to an elderly Australian patient with dementia, the patient spoke for the first time since arriving at the nursing facility. In New Zealand, when dementia patients were given the chance to play with PARO or a real dog, they chose to play with PARO.

Robots like LOVOT and PARO are being developed at the perfect time. Many countries have “aging societies”, meaning the populations of old people outweigh young people, resulting in more people who not only need assistance with things like getting dressed and cooking meals but also friendship and love. Additionally, according to a national research institute in Japan, 40% of all people in that country will be living alone by 2040, meaning loneliness among younger populations may also increase significantly. Nevertheless, if LOVOT and PARO can give us all the love and affection we get from the pets without any of the mess or regular care, we might not be so lonely after all.

【1】What can the robot LOVOT do?

A．It can move around anywhere as a penguin does.

B．It can perform tasks like making cars in the factory.

C．It can be used to cure elderly patients of dementia.

D．It can keep people suffering from loneliness company.

【2】What enables LOVOT to respond properly?

A．Its built-in sensors.

B．Its moderate size.

C．Its lifelike feature.

D．Its cool appearance.

【3】What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

A．PARO’s appeal to the users.

B．The reason for LOVOT’s popularity.

C．The practical application cases of robot pets.

D．Dementia patients’ preference for PARO.

【4】What is the advantage of robots like LOVOT and PARO over pets?

A．They can help people with their housework.

B．They need less care from the owners.

C．They can comfort people feeling lonely.

D．They can build a stronger bond with people.

23、The boulders (巨石) look generally unremarkable, besides the fact that they stretch up and down the ridge in a curved line. Most people who don’t know their story would probably choose to look at the sweeping view of San Jose below them instead.

The timeworn line of boulder, is part of a system of stone walls, the remains of which stretch along the East Bay Hills all the way from Grimly Peak in Berkeley to where I watched a man tie his shoes at the Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve above East San Jose.

They exist only in sections, and some are better preserved than others — where I found the man, the walls are short and thick and half-sunk into the earth, hut further north at Ed R. Levin County Park in Milpitas, they remain almost perfectly assembled and stand several feet tall.

The first recorded mention of the walls is from an article in the San Francisco Chronicle from 1896. “Half a mile east of Grizzly Peak stand the remains of stone walls which have long baffled the researchers. By whom they were built, when and why is an unsolved mystery,” the article stated. The unnamed author went on to write a generally-accepted theory of the walls that they were constructed by “some long-forgotten race, possibly Aztec”.

Of course, the people who originally inhabited the hills and the land surrounding them are far from forgotten. The Ohlone people thrived in the area for thousands of years until they were largely displaced by European settlers — however, there’re no records of them constructing stone walls.

“Some of my colleagues have heard the rocks were placed there by Spanish settlers clearing their fields, and there have been speculations that it could have been part of Indigenous practice,” said Charlotte Graham, a spokesperson for the Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority. “We’ve also heard it could be a natural occurrence.”

However, there isn’t enough evidence on the walls to be entirely certain. A study dated lichen (地衣) on the walls in Berkeley as being from 1851 to 1880, though other sections of the walls haven’t been tested, and there’re few historical accounts on their presence.

【1】How may most people never hearing about the boulders react when seeing them?

A．Ignore them.

B．Collect them.

C．Post the photos of them online.

D．Report them to the government.

【2】Which section of the stone walls is most probably best preserved?

A．The one along the East Bay Hills.

B．The one near Grizzly Peak in Berkeley.

C．The one at Ed R. Levin County Park in Milpitas.

D．The one at the Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve.

【3】What does the underlined word “baffled” probably mean in paragraph 4?

A．Prevented.

B．Confused.

C．Annoyed.

D．Inspired.

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

A．Functions of stone walls

B．Newly-found boulders

C．The history of boulders

D．Stories behind mystery walls
