21、The year 2020 marks the beginning of the decade of the yold, or the “young old”， as the Japanese call people aged between 65 and 75, who continue to work and stay socially engaged. 【1】. The yold are more numerous, healthier and wealthier than previous generations of seniors.

【2】 Of the 3.7 years of increased life expectancy(预期寿命)in rich countries between 2000 and 2015, says the WHO, 3.2 years were enjoyed in good health. Working is one of the factors that are helping people stay healthy longer. A German study found that people who remain at work after the normal retirement age manage to slow the cognitive (认知的)decline. The yold are also better off, while the wealth of all other age groups declined.

The yold are not just any group of old people They are challenging the traditional expectations of the retired as who are wearing indoor shoes and look after the grandchildren. 【3】They become one of the fastest growing group for airline business. They spend much more, when taking a foreign holiday, than young adults. So they are vital to the Tourism industry. They are also changing education and finance Because of the importance of pensions,the yold are transforming insurance companies from passive distributors of fired an nuities (年金)to financial service providers for customers who want to manage their pension pots more actively.

【4】They find that older workers have, if anything,slightly above-average productivity and that teams of workers from multiple generations are the most productive of all.Societies should be better off because public spending on health and pensions should be lower than expected, as people work longer and need less medical care.

Today,some big things will have to change, under pressure from the yold themselves. The most important is public attitudes towards older people and in particular the expectation that 60-somethings ought to quietly retire into the background. 【5】 The yold will demand that companies become more age-friendly and,in the process,help change attitudes towards aging itself.

A．Healthy yold people will require great changes in health spending.

B．Many companies discriminate against older workers by offering training only to younger ones.

C．The rise of the yold will definitely be a blessing to both culture and economy.

D．Health worsens with age,but the yold are resisting the decline better than most.

E．Many bosses think productivity falls with age,but studies in Germany suggest otherwise.

F．That will disturb consumers, service and financial markets.

G．The yold,in their new appearance as the young old, are expected to change the world.

22、When you throw something in the recycling bin, do you think about what it could become? And when you do, does it make you more likely to use that recycling bin? Recently, a study was conducted in an effort to decide whether or not explaining to people what their recyclables are transformed into would help increase recycling rates.

The researchers started with a group of 111 college students, asked to draw on paper before watching one of three ads.One was a public service message that showed paper going into recycling bins.The other two also showed the paper either being transformed into new paper or a guitar.After completing a survey, the students were asked to deal with the paper when they left. Half of those who saw the first ad recycled their paper, while the recycling rate jumped to 80% for those who'd seen the other ads.

After doing a few more lab experiments, the researchers headed into the real world.At a party, volunteers spoke with attendees (出席者) about recycling, with half mentioning transformed products and half keeping it general.They discovered the subject of the talks came into play.After the game, the recycling and trash bags were weighed.Those who received a message recycled over half of their waste, while those who did not recycled less than a fifth.

All this is to say that details matter.People want to know what treasures their trash can become, and when that's laid out clearly, they' re more likely to do it.Perhaps recycling companies should redesign signs to describe the items being created.Recycling is far from a perfect solution,but it doesn't hurt to manage to improve its rates.

【1】What's the function of the first paragraph?

A．To lead to the main topic.

B．To reflect the author's attitude.

D．1 To emphasize the benefits of recycling.

【2】What does the underlined part“came into play”in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Took effect.

B．Broke down.

C．Took off.

D．Came to mind.

【3】What does the author advise recycling companies to do?

A．Sign the names on the items.

B．Find perfect ways of recycling.

C．Examine the details of items.

D．Show the transformation of waste.

【4】In which column of the website does the text probably appear?

A．Sports and games.

B．Travel and tourism.

C．Entertainment and recreation.

D．Science and human life.

23、The confidence people place in science is frequently based not on what it really is, but on what people would like it to be. When I asked my students how they would define science, many of them replied that it’s an objective way of discovering certainties about the world. But science cannot provide certainties.

Actually, doubt and science often go hand in hand. Science, when properly functioning, questions accepted understandings and brings both new knowledge and new questions —not certainty. Doubt does not create trust, nor does it help public understanding. So why should people trust a process that seems to require a troublesome state of uncertainty without always providing solid solutions?

As a historian of science, I would argue that it’s the responsibility of scientists and historians of science to show that the real power of science lies precisely in what is often regarded as its weakness: its drive to question and challenge accepted understandings. Indeed, the scientific approach requires changing our understanding of the natural world whenever new evidence arises from either experimentation or observation. Scientific findings are temporary understandings that involve the state of knowledge at a given moment. In the long run, many of them are challenged and even overturned. Doubt might be troubling, but it pushes us towards a better understanding. Certainties, reassuring as they may seem, prevent the scientific process.

Scientists understand this, but in the dynamic between the public and science, there are two opposite misconceptions (误解). The first is a form of blind scientism — a belief that science is unquestionable and has the capacity to solve all problems. Such an idealized representation actually ignores the universal existence of controversy, conflict and error at the very heart of the scientific world.

【1】What’s the real power of science according to the author?

A．It provides solid solutions.

B．It defends accepted understandings.

C．It discovers certainties about the world.

D．It keeps bringing questions and challenges.

【2】What does the underlined word “reassuring” probably mean?

A．Disappointing.

B．Surprising.

C．Comforting.

D．Challenging.

【3】What may be the belief of the second misconception?

A．Science is unchallengeable and a cure-all.

B．Science is unreliable and of little use.

C．Science is objective but impractical.

D．Science is doubtful but useful.

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

A．Why Is Doubt Vital to Science?

B．Why Should We Trust Scientists?

C．What Is the Weakness of Science?

D．What Is Scientists’ Responsibility?

24、Gift-giving is a satisfying way of showing the people in your life that you care about them. 【1】But don’t worry. You can refer to some practical tips.

Identify your message to the recipient. Before you start wracking your brain for what to give the person, think about your relationship with the person, how you feel about him/her, and what you would like to tell him/ her. 【2】

Make a list of items that might help you convey that message. Once you have identified the message you want to send, start making a list of gifts that could help you to send that message. Be sure to consider the person’s tastes and interests. 【3】And for a coworker, you might give him/her a gift card from his/her favorite shop so that he/she can go out for shopping.

【4】The person you need to buy for might like something specific that you could find out about with a little detective work. You can check the person’s Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and other social media histories for clues(线索) For example, if the person posted about a favorite coffee shop on the social media account，get him/her a gift card for that coffee shop.

Talk with people who know the person well to help you choose. If you have trouble coming up with ideas for the person, turn to other people who know him/her well. 【5】In that case, you can choose the exact gift. For example, you can ask your best friend’s mother if she has any suggestions. For your significant other, you can question your significant other’s best friend to see if he/she has dropped any hints.

A．Communicate with the person on social media.

B．Look at the person’s social media accounts for clues.

C．The person may have let slip what he/she wants to them.

D．For example, you can ask your colleagues for some clues.

E．However, it can be a headache for you to choose proper gifts.

F．This will help you to narrow down the possibilities for the gift quickly.

G．For example, you might choose a set of coffee cups for your coffee-loving friend.
