21、It was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google Android devices without the phone owners knowing that the images were being taken. In Apple’s case, developers can also obtain the location information for each photo.
Senator(参议员) Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Monday.
“We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access to private information,” Mr. Schumer said. “They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be changed.”
On Sunday, Mr. Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light. Claudia Bourne Farrell, an F.T.C. spokeswoman, said the agency had received the letter but she could not comment further.
“It worries people to think that one’s personal photos, address book, and who knows what else can be obtained and even posted online without permission,” Mr. Schumer wrote in his letter to the F.T.C. “If the technology exists to open the door to this kind of privacy invasion, then surely technology exists to close it, and that’s exactly what must happen.”
Mr. Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem, then he would be forced to take the issue further.
He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to fix issues. “I’m optimistic that we can get this changed without any regulation,” he said. “If it’s not changed, then we’ll turn to the F.T.C., and if that doesn’t work then we’ll consider legislative approach.”
The F.T.C. has warned companies to try to be more vigilant(警醒的) in their efforts to protect consumers when it comes to privacy.
【1】 The senators spoke with officials at both Apple and Google___________.
A. to urge them not to invade consumers’ privacy.

【2】Which of the following statements is true?
A. Privacy invasion from Apple has existed for a long time.

【3】 Mr. Schumer’s letter to the F.T.C. mainly shows that the technology to open the door to privacy invasion___________.
A. causes privacy invasion to happen frequently.

22、In the future we might live somewhere other than Earth, like Mars. Some people ask how this will be possible. Well, Mars is in fact a lot the same as the earth. The days are almost the same as those on the earth. However, the two planets vary in temperature.
Since there is mostly carbon dioxide on Mars, it would be quite difficult for a human to just land on it. So, special types of homes and space suits have to be designed. The space suits should be almost like the ones astronauts use now, and except that they have to be warmer so that the astronauts can survive the cold temperatures. The space suits must also be able to withstand (承受) high pressure and potentially dangerous radiation that can kill.
The houses should be similar to our homes today with a slight difference. All of the houses and other buildings should be built inside a large dome (圆顶状物) or bubble. The domes should be made out of glass, and would also be able to prevent radiation from affecting the people inside. The domes will be connected to a machine (like plants which turn carbon dioxide into oxygen).
With Mars’ population growing, how would the people on its surface get fresh food and water? Just like humans use domes, they can also use domes to grow plants. However, the domes where the plants are grown must be built to expand. Once we upgrade the domes to a larger size then we can grow more food by cultivating (种植) more plants. To get the food or come in connect with other domes, there will be long narrow tunnels like roads that connect to each dome separating them by several doors so that the pressure in each dome can remain the same.
On Mars, so many other things are available to us. As humans, we can have access to rare and fairly expensive metals that aren’t very easy to get hold of on Earth, and a colony on Mars enhances (提高) our chances of finding these metals. So when someone here on Earth says that going to Mars is impossible, please tell them that they’ll never know it until they try and they may try very soon. After all it’s our future. Why not make it on Mars?
【1】It is difficult for humans to live on Mars because of all the following EXCEPT _________.
A. too much radiation B. cold temperature
C. lack of enough oxygen D. lack of houses
【2】One of the reasons why we are eager to explore Mars may be that _________.
A. we can find rare and expensive metals there easily
B. we’ll get too bored to live on the earth in the future
C. our technology will become much advanced
D. we want to know more about the unknown world
【3】What is the author’s attitude towards living on Mars? _________.
A. Pessimistic B. Uncertain C. Optimistic D. Opposed
23、Want to feel better, have more energy and even add years to your life? Just exercise. The health benefits of regular exercise and physical activity are hard to ignore. 【1】 Check out below how exercise can lead to a happier and healthier you.
Exercise controls weight.
Exercise can help prevent excess (过多的) weight gain or help maintain weight loss. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity is, the more calories you burn.
Regular trips to the gym are great, but don’t worry if you can’t find enough time to exercise every day. 【2】 To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day—take the stairs instead of the lift or do your household chores. Consistency is key.
Exercise improves mood.
【3】 Or need to relax after a stressful day? A gym session or brisk walk can help. Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier, more relaxed and less anxious. You may also feel better about your appearance and yourself when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem.
Exercise boosts energy.
Tired out by grocery shopping or household chores? 【4】 Exercise delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and helps your cardiovascular (心血管的) system work more efficiently. And when your heart and lung health improves, you have more energy to tackle daily chores.

24、Doug Falter, an American photographer, returned home, teary-eyed and exhausted. He pouted online that evening, "I lost my baby." That "baby" referred to a surfboard that had been custom-made for him. Hours earlier, a big wave had separated Falter from this prized possession.
Months passed with no sign of the surfboard. Falter saved money to buy a new surfboard for $ 1,500. But Falter never completely forgot the surfboard, which - six months later and more than 5,000 miles away from where it disappeared-floated to the southern Philippines.The local fisherman who found it didn't have much use of his unusual catch of the day, so he sold the board for s 40 to Giovanne Branzuela, an elementary school teacher. Branzuela hoped to leam to surf and one day share the skill with his students,who regularly accompany him on beach clean-ups.
The once-blue board had faded to a pale straw color during its journey, but its distinctive markings were still there: two elephants, one at either end. Underneath the elephants were the words "Doug Falter Surfboard".
Branzuela couldn't believe it on realizing how far the surfboard had traveled. He reached Falter online and sent him a photo of the surfboard. Falter was shocked to learn that his "baby"had drifted(漂流) across the world's largest ocean and survived. He was overjoyed.
But the story was far from over. Falter wanted to thank Branzuela with some surfing supplies for his kind act, but the teacher asked for school supplies instead, such as backpacks for his students and materials to help them learn English.
Falter said it made him raise money for the kids. So far, he has collected $ 2,500,which he has used to buy and ship maps, puzzles, classroom posters, textbooks, and workbooks.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Before I was ten, my parents worked very hard at ensuring that everything seemed pleasant for me. I had to admit that I had a very peaceful childhood and I mostly ignored the fact that my elder sister was different. She was diagnosed(诊断)with “Asperger Syndrome”. This diagnosis turned my parents’ world upside down, but they never let it affect me.
It was only at the age of ten that I started to notice the differences and become conscious of my social life and self-image that I had carefully developed. My sister, on the other hand, was socially awkward. She could not look at people in the eye. She would say to herself and repeat what she had just said. She, however, was good at studying, and thus we attended the same primary school. Despite this, I never accepted in public that she was my sister. There was one incident, however, just two years ago, that remained in my memory. It was the incident that changed how I viewed my sister. It was the incident that changed me.
When she was about to graduate in primary six, the school made it a must for everyone to put up an performance, in a group or individually. Due to her inability to integrate(融入群体), my sister was the only one left without a group, so my sister had to perform individually. “I’ll sing, ”my sister told my parents, somewhat confidently. Hearing that, I was completely shocked. How could my sister, who was socially awkward, sing in front of the school? I knew so very well that if I allowed this to happen, she would embarrass me, one way or another. “No!” I remembered protesting. My parents shot me a look. I knew my sister was to perform, and I was to be part of the audience watching her. Silently, I prayed that something would happen and I would not have to watch my sister shame herself. The day finally came.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I sat in the hall, restless and uneasy, waiting for my sister to start her performance.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
How did I not know that my sister could sing so beautifully?
