21、When I am surfing the Web, I want to be drawn by articles on Europe’s political history, but I end up reading menus from Alcatraz prison. Why does that happen?

Curiosity seems beyond your control, and trying to direct it sounds like forcing yourself to find a joke funny. But if you know what boosts curiosity, you may be able to understand it a little better.

During the evolution, curious animals were more likely to survive because they learned about their environments. Humans, too, will give up a known payoff to investigate the unknown. Scientists did some experiments. In the first experiment, subjects were asked to choose one of four photos, each carrying some chance of a cash prize. Photos repeated, so subjects learned to pick the best. But when a new photo appeared, they chose it more often than the familiar ones. This preference for new one is, of course, the reason why producers regularly change product packaging.

Also, curiosity improves learning. In the second experiment, subjects read simple questions and rated how curious each made them feel. Later, they saw the question again, each followed by a photo of a face, and judged whether that person looked as if he or she would know the answer. In a surprise final memory test for the faces, subjects better remembered those appearing after the questions that make them curious.

This function of curiosity—to heighten memory—is the key to understanding why we’re curious about some things instead of others. We feel most curious when exploration produces the most learning. Suppose I ask you, “what’s the most common type of star in the Milky Way?” You’ll obviously feel uninterested if you already know the answer. But you’ll also feel little curious if you know nothing about stars; if you learned the answer, you couldn’t connect it to other knowledge, so it would seem nearly meaningless. We’re maximally curious when we sense that the environment offers new information in the right part to complement what we already know.

【1】Why does the author mention his own experience in Paragraph 1?

A．To present a fact.

B．To introduce a topic.

C．To make a prediction.

D．To explain a concept.

【2】Why do producers change the packaging of the products frequently?

A．To attract customers’ interest.

B．To follow the latest trend.

C．To represent companies’ creativity.

D．To show the new products.

【3】What can we learn from the experiments in Paragraphs 3 and 4?

A．The questions in the second experiment were interesting.

B．In both experiments, subjects preferred to choose the new objects.

C．In the second experiment, curiosity contributed to the subjects’ better memory.

D．The new photos in the first experiment had higher possibilities of a cash prize.

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

A．Satisfying curiosity makes us feel pleased.

B．A well-known topic makes us most curious.

C．People are most curious about totally unfamiliar topic.

D．People will be most curious when the unknown hugs the known.

22、   I am about to go to university. I miss my years at high school quite much. Now I have formed my group of friends, with whom I still keep in touch. I was even voted by the students of my class to speak at graduation. But when I was first at high school, I felt lonely. Here are some tips for you new comers to start your high school.

Say hello anytime you see an acquaintance. Because I was always smiling and greeting the people I knew, people naturally thought I was sociable. And high school kids want to be friends with friendly people.

Take the first step. All the girls there already knew each other —they didn't need another friend. But I did, so I had to make the effort, I had to be the first one to invite somebody to go with me to a movie, or over to my house. Once I did, they started to respond in kind.

Make friends slowly. I couldn't get discouraged when it took a while to make friends. Hey, I had already waited an entire year. What's a couple more weeks? Making new friends is hard.

Use classes to get to know people. I met most of my first friends because I sat next to them in class. Class(before, after, or even during class time) is a great chance to start a conversation, ask for homework help, or even better, to extend help when needed.

Above all, remember that it can and will get better. You may have to work a little to make your high school experience a great one, but it's absolutely worth it!

【1】What was the writer like in others' eyes when she first came to high school？

A.She was lonely. B.She was delicate. C.She was easygoing. D.She was cautious.

【2】As far as the writer is concerned, friendship needs   .

A.understanding B.patience C.faith D.mercy

【3】What does the girl think is the most important to start a friendship？

A.Communication. B.Help. C.Experience. D.Homework.

23、Before raising our dog, I used to believe some people I met were “masters of nonverbal communication”, for they were extremely skilled at reading others’ body language. But soon I realized that my family dog was much better at this.

Our golden retriever(金毛寻回犬) sleeps in our bedroom. Although she appears to be in a deep sleep, the sound of moves in our bed causes her to look up, and listen. She can actually distinguish from sound and body movement, whether I am getting up to go to the bathroom or getting out of bed to start the day.

Dogs are closely attuned to sounds. Our dog appears in the kitchen each time I open the fridge or her treat jar. She arrives when I open the kitchen drawer to take out the can opener. When my wife is not feeling well or is sad, the dog comes and lies down beside her out of concern. The dog can tell if we are annoyed at her or if we are about to reward her or give her love.

Why are dogs so good at reading body language? They have sharp senses that give them an advantage over humans, and they also get a lot more practice. So an important body language lesson from your dog is practice. Make it a habit to improve your nonverbal communication skills, and work at it. Observe people interacting and see if you can tell, from their body language alone, what they are talking about, what they are feeling, and what their relationship is. Watch a TV show with the sound off and see if you can figure out what’s going on.

Realize that developing nonverbal communication skills is hard work. Your dog has been doing it all its life.

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

A．Afraid.

B．Particular.

C．Addicted.

D．Familiar.

【2】How does the author’s dog react when a family member appears uncomfortable?

A．She feels very sad.

B．She gets them food.

C．She accompanies them.

D．She makes soft sounds.

【3】What is the author’s advice on improving nonverbal communication skills?

A．Sharpen people’s senses.

B．Communicate more with pets.

C．Take some professional lessons.

D．Observe carefully and practice distinguishing.

24、With the broader application of the facial recognition technology, related disputes, too, are on the rise.

Facial information can be collected when one is completely unaware maybe at one point or another, the surveillance (监视) cameras have collected one’s facial information. Once such information is leaked (泄露), the consequences can be terrible because unlike digital passwords, which can be changed, hardly can people change their faces.

The illegal collection of face-based information has unlocked new space for criminal activities. In 2019, a new mobile app called ZAO turned into a hit within only weeks of its release. People could upload photos of their faces and then replace their own facial features with those of TV and movie stars. However, the app soon aroused concern, with some users worrying that their image could be used by criminals to trick facial recognition payment software-resulting in massive economic losses. One experiment saw an individual using a photo print of a face to trick the facial recognition system of a self-service package locker, succeeding in opening it and getting the parcel out.

This risk of information leakage caught the attention of the Supreme People’s Court (SPC). On July 28, it published a set of rules to provide a legal solution to the increasingly pressing problem. When online platforms or apps gain user approval to process facial information, they should present the specific clauses to users for special consideration rather than leave them buried in the general terms (条款) of use, says the SPC document. In addition, the newly issued protocols forbid the practice of forcing users to agree to facial recognition terms if they want to obtain services that do not rely on the access to facial data.

Yang Wanming, Vice President of the SPC, concluded that the strengthening of the protection of personal information meets the people’s expectations and is also a priority of the people’s courts. The SPC will carry on its efforts to promote the legal, proper and efficient use of data and support a healthy development of the digital economy.

【1】Why can facial information leakage lead to serious results?

A．People are tired of passwords.

B．People are familiar with cameras.

C．People are unlikely to vary the faces.

D．People are unaware of a new technology.

【2】What can we infer about the experiment from the third paragraph?

A．Apps should not be popular too soon.

B．Criminals could be forgiven for playing tricks.

C．Payment software should not be applied in package lockers.

D．Hidden threats could be caused by the misuse of facial information.

【3】What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?

A．How the SPC supplies better protections.

B．How the SPC deals with legal cases.

C．Why the SPC proposes specific clauses.

D．Why the SPC updates former rules.

【4】What is Yang Wanming’s attitude towards the new rules?

A．Doubtful.

B．Cautious.

C．Positive.

D．Unclear.
