21、On a stormy day last August, Tim heard some shouting．Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.

Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search a football．Once they’d rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water．The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore．But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.

Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.

“Everything went quiet in my head,” Tim recalls（回忆）．“I’m trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”

Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water．Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress．“At one point, I considered turning back,” he says．“I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, “Take down the umbrella! Let’s aim for the pier（码头）,” Jack said．Tim turned the boat toward it．Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink．“Can you guys swim?” he cried．“A little bit,” the boys said.

Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier．Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs．Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys’ faces.

“Are we almost there?” they asked again and again．“Yes,” Tim told them each time.

22、  Filmmaker Jennifer Nelson had to pay $1,500 to have “Happy Birthday to You” sung in the movie she’s making. The money went to Warner Music Group, a company that claims to own the copyright on the song. A copyright is the legal right to use or sell a creative product such as a song, a TV show, a book, or a work of art. Warner has claimed the copyright for “Happy Birthday to You” since 1988.

“I never thought the song was owned by anyone,” Nelson said in an e-mail to The New York Times. “I thought it belonged to everyone.”

Nelson’s movie is a documentary — a film that uses pictures and/or interviews with people to create a factual report of real-life events — and is actually about the history of the “Happy Birthday” song itself.

Two sisters named Mildred and Patty Hill wrote a song called “Good Morning to All” in 1893. Over a short period of time, people began to sing the words “happy birthday to you” in place of the original lyrics to the tune of the Hill sisters’ song.

A number of history experts say that there is no record of who actually wrote the “Happy Birthday to You” lyrics. Historians also say there is no way to know when the general public began singing the “Happy Birthday” song, but they believe it was being sung by the public long before it was printed and owned by a company.

Nelson’s lawyers say this piece of music’s history proves that “Happy Birthday to You” belongs to everyone in the general public. That would mean Warner Music Group has no right to charge anyone a fee to sing the song in any setting.

Experts estimate that Warner/ Chappell, the publishing division of the Warner Music Group, has made about $2 million a year from licensing fees for “Happy Birthday to You.”

Nelson’s lawyers are asking a court in New York City to order Warner/Chappell to return fees they have collected over the past four years for use of the “Happy Birthday” song.

【1】Jennifer Nelson had to pay Warner Music Group to ____________.

A. own the copyright on a song

B. have a song sung in her movie

C. have it play a song in her movie

D. have it write a song for her movie

【2】The history experts’ statement can prove that the “Happy Birthday” song ____________.

A. has always been very popular

B. has more than 200 years’ history

C. does not belong to Warner Music Group

D. was initially owned by another company

【3】According to Nelson’s lawyers, to sing the “Happy Birthday” song, people ____________.

A. should pay the Hill sisters

B. need not pay for any purpose

C. should pay Warner Music Group

D. need not pay except for commercial use

【4】 If the court supports Nelson’s lawyers’ claim, ____________.

A. Warner will return about $8 million

B. she can obtain the copyright on the song

C. Warner will have to pay her for her damages

D. she only needs to pay a little money to use the song

23、Psychological stress is likely to surface during a human mission to Mars. Prof Jeff Johnson thinks an on-board “comedian” could keep spirits up during the long journey. He is drawing on his research on the differing teambuilding approaches of competing polar explorers Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott to prove his point. Amundsen’s team made it to the South Pole and back while Scott’s died on the return journey.

Well, Roald Amundsen actually put people through tests before they set off to make sure that they would take orders and, in particular, whether they would challenge any of them. Amundsen would set up situations where there would be an ambiguous context to see what their responses would be, and if somebody questioned him, they were out. However, if you read Amundsen’s diary, he writes that Lindstrøm, the cook, was basically the most important person on the expedition.

Lindstrøm was the comedian. He didn’t actually go to the South Pole, but you’ve got to remember that the walking expedition was a small component of the overall time that they were on the ice. They were there for well over a year, waiting to walk to the Pole. They had to wait during the winter and it’s a very tense time when people are idle (懒散的). Lindstrøm played an essential role in keeping the peace in the group when there were tense moments, and he would do something funny to get everybody to laugh, which would break the tension.

There are individuals who have these certain natural abilities that you want to be able to recognize and include when you’re putting together groups that are going to be isolated, such as those going into space. There are a number of different roles that we’ve discovered are important, but one of them is somebody who has humour. That’s clearly important. So, you’d want to have somebody like Lindstrøm, somebody who is not only good at what they have to do (he was a very good cook) but who also has another skillset beyond what’s in the job description.

We can put people together thinking that they’re going to work together in a certain way, but over the course of time a crisis is bound to happen. There are the kinds of things that make groups more adaptable and help them function better. You can think about it in terms of atoms: when you put different elements together, they produce different kinds of things. It’s the same with people. They may have their own characteristics, but when you put them together, they’re going to create a different kind of situation and we want to have a better idea of what that might be.

【1】By comparing Amundsen with Scott, the author intends to __________.

A．contradict his previous statements

B．introduce the topic of the passage

C．illustrate the importance of a comedian

D．emphasize the necessity of team spirits

【2】What was the very quality Amundsen was valuing in his interview?

A．Willingness to take orders.

B．Optimism about success.

C．Eagerness to make progress.

D．Curiosity about mysteries.

【3】For what reason was Lindstrøm regarded as a key figure on the expedition?

A．He went against the command of the Amundsen in every circumstance.

B．He could make up many jokes about other team members to ease tension.

C．Besides cooking tasty dishes, he was capable of easing tension when it arose.

D．When a vacancy appeared, he was always ready to fill it in and made it work.

【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A．Comedians, keys to landing on Mars

B．Atoms, roles of members in a team

C．Teamwork, secret to overall success

D．Amundsen, example for group leaders

24、   Google is getting further into the business of saving lives. Today, it announced that users of its Android phones in New Zealand and Greece will receive warnings of earthquakes about to strike their locations. And those earthquakes will be detected(探测） not by the usual seismometers(地震仪），but by the phones themselves.

Earthquakes are a well-known threat in both countries, but neither has an operational warning system. That created an opportunity to make a difference, says Marc, the project's lead engineer.

Traditional warning systems use seismometers to detect an earthquake's size, then send a warning, by smartphone or loudspeakers, to residents. These systems are powerful but they are expensive to develop. An earthquake warning system that can do without this expense and depend on smartphones has great potential (潜力）globally, says Meier, who studies earthquake warning systems. “If you can do it with just the phones, that's a shortcut.”

Android phones have been publicly detecting earthquakes since last year. It can remove false（假的）alarms like the shaking caused by the sound of thunderstorms. So far, Android phones have detected more than 1000 quakes worldwide. And the alerts have performed well in terms of speed when compared with Shake Alert and Japan's warning system, Allen says. The phones also detected a quake that originated just north of Samos, a Greek island close to Turkey, in late October 2020. “We could really show that, if we had alerting in place, we would have provided alerts in Greece,” Allen says.

【1】The underlined word “shortcut” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “________。”

A．a way that is shorter than the usual one

B．a path that is direct towards the destination

C．a quicker way than usual to achieve something

D．a means of ordering a computer to perform a function

【2】What's the disadvantage of traditional warning systems?

A．They are costly.

B．They are 'powerless.

C．They have little potential.

D．They feel the quake slowly.

【3】What's Allen's attitude to detecting quakes by the phones?

A．Negative.

B．Positive.

C．Doubtful.

D．Uncaring.

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．The Project Provides Alerts In Greece

B．Phone Warning Systems Are Powerful

C．Earthquakes Are A Well-known Threat

D．Google Uses Phones To Detect Earthquakes

25、I received a private message on Facebook. It began harmlessly enough: “Hi, girl. Wanted to _________ you to join my next challenge group—We will be _________ on fitting in 30 minutes of exercise and balanced nutrition. "It was all becoming too much. Facebook was _________ my life, not me.

But what killed Facebook for me was when I _________ a photo and my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a _________ call. “Likes” are signs of acceptance and _________ . I had forgotten they both need to come from within and had _________ set him a bad example.

To recreate the simplicity of those days and set a _________ example for my son, I deactivated（解除）my Facebook _________ . I had been in the habit of __________ Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I __________ a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me.

I started to __________ a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have __________ who will help me out when I am in trouble. I do my best to be a good mother and our son is happy and healthy.

Celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November every year, Thanksgiving Day is a time for thanksgiving and feasts．It’s about expressing your gratitude to the important people and all the good things in your life．

Americans celebrate Thanksgiving with much warmth and keep many traditional customs．Here we introduce two of the rules Americans typically follow on this day．

1．Time for prayers and paying back

Thanksgiving Day has been associated with prayers in church and in homes for centuries．Attending church prayer services in the morning is the first step of many celebrators on Thanksgiving Day．The churches provide worship (礼拜) services and organize special events for the occasion．

Before Thanksgiving meals, some families gather together and read prayers to thank God for his kindness and the gifts he has bestowed upon (给予) them in the form of friends and family．

Some people also do voluntary community work on this day, as a way of paying back．

2．Family reunions and showing gratitude

Like China’s Spring Festival, preparing a big meal and bringing the family together at home is a long-standing tradition of Thanksgiving．Distances don’t really matter as relatives return home to be with their family, no matter how far away．
