21、What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed at the entrance? Or the soft background music?
But have you ever noticed the smell? Unless it is bad，the answer is likely to be no．But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds，it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase．
A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance via scent machines．A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air.One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers’ intention to purchase increased by 80 percent．
When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales.That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.
Some years ago, the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants’ disproving attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores(实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination．And scent is just one way to achieve this．
Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut(椰子) scent in the swimsuit section．A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent．
【1】According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?
A．Friendly assistant.
B．Soft background music.
C．Unique scents.
D．Attractive window display.
【2】E-shops are mentioned in the passage to ________.
A．urge shop assistants to change their attitude
B．show the advantages of brick-and-mortar stores
C．push stores to use sights and sounds
D．introduce the rise of e-commerce
【3】The underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 5 means ________.
A．a place where customers love to go
B．a spot where travelers like to stay
C．a platform that exhibits goods
D．a target that a store expects to meet
【4】The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
A．compare and evaluate
B．inform and explain
C．argue and discuss
D．examine and assess
22、A scientific paper arguing that the cats may indeed go beyond some of the usual physical boundaries has been recognized with one of science’s most famous accolades（荣 誉）: an Ig Nobel Prize.
The theoretical paper, “On the Rheology of Cats”, argues that cats can technically be regarded as solid and liquid at the same time due to their mysterious ability to adopt the shape of their container.
The annual awards ceremony for research that “first makes you laugh, then makes you think” took place at Harvard University on Thursday evening, September 14th, with three Nobel winners, including the British-born economist Oliver Hart, on hand to distribute prizes.
The 10 awards included the economics prize, which went to an investigation into how contact with a live crocodile affects a person’s willingness to gamble and the anatomy（解剖学）prize for James Heathcote’s solving the longstanding mystery of why old men have such big ears (they don’t keep growing, but gravity stretches them). The ceremony also rewarded the observation by Italian scientists that many identical twins cannot tell themselves apart in pictures.
Marc-Antoine Fardin, the sole author of the cat paper, was inspired by a set of internet funny photos of cat-filled containers, ranging from sweet jars to sinks. “If you are observing a cat on a time larger than its relaxation time, it will be soft and adapt to its container, like a liquid would. This actually raised some interesting questions about what it means to be a fluid and so I thought it could be used to highlight actually serious topics at the centre of the field of rheology, the study of flows,” he said.
Milo Puhan, a professor of public health and epidemiology said he was honoured to be a winner in this ceremony, noting that some past Ig Nobel Prize winners have later upgraded to Nobel Prize winners status.
Marc Abrahams, founder of the awards, said, “If you didn’t win an Ig Nobel Prize tonight—and especially if you did—better luck next year.”
【1】What do we know about Ig Nobel Prize from the text?
A．It is held occasionally.
B．It’s popular and well-known.
C．It aims to make people laugh.
D．The winners are also those of the Nobel Prize.
【2】Why does Marc-Antoine Fardin mention the internet photos of cat-filled containers?
A．To present an example of his cat paper.
B．To make a comparison of the cat and fluid flow.
C．To show the inspiration for his study of the flow.
D．To introduce an interesting topic of his recent study.
【3】What is professor Milo Puhan’s attitude to Ig Nobel Prize?
A．Proud.
B．Critical.
C．Doubtful.
D．Ironic.
【4】Which of the following research is unsuitable to illustrate “first makes you laugh, then makes you think”?
A．The try to measure the pleasurability of scratching an itch.
B．The discoveries of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability.
C．The study of leaning to the left makes the Eiffel Tower seem smaller.
D．The study of what happens when a person walks while carrying a cup of coffee.
23、Praised as the “Edgar Snow of a New Era”, British journalist Andrew Moody devoted himself to accurately reporting on China for over a decade. Born in Nottinghamshire in September 1960, Moody’s interest in journalism began at age 15. What came next was a storied career that would last 4 decades. A visit to Shenzhen, Guangdong province, in 1997 turned his attention to China. During that visit, he was surprised by the great changes that had taken place in China. Moody began working for China Daily in 2008. In his 13 years at the paper, he published more than 1 million words in the newspaper group’s different publications.
“These stories aim to explain to a wider audience the strategies(策略)and aims of the Chinese government, and also look at the challenges and difficulties it faces,” Moody wrote. “I also attach importance to issues which go largely ignored in the mainstream Western media, and which often fail to provide a full or true image(形象)of China.”
To better cover China, Moody read a lot. In his Beijing apartment, there were more than 160 books about the nation. Su Qiang, a China Daily editor who worked with Moody for 8 years, said, “He had read all the books that top experts had written about China, and he closely followed how the world viewed China.” Moody also learned to speak Mandarin, traveled to most provinces and autonomous regions throughout China and exposed himself to the Chinese way of life.
“China is moving into a new era in which it is much more confident about its position and status in the world. I have a definite sense of history in the making,” said Moody. He hoped that he could be one of the witnesses and reporters of this historic time.
“So even when he was suffering from a serious disease, Moody still soldiered on. All he cared about was whether he could keep on working,” said Wang Liping, Moody’s attending doctor.
When he passed away in June 2021, many people were sad. “His death will be a huge loss to those who are working hard on the dialogue between China and the outside world,” said Kerry Brown, a professor of Chinese Studies at King’s College London.

24、The Chinese philosopher Confucius said long ago that "Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without." Playing a musical instrument has many benefits and can bring joy to you and everyone around you.
A good musician knows that the quality of practice time is more valuable than the quantity. In order for a musician to progress quicker, he or she will learn how to organize his or her practice time and plan different challenges to work on, making efficient use of time. Thus, learning how to play an instrument helps you to learn how to be organized and to manage your time wisely.
Team skills are a very important aspect of being successful in life. Playing an instrument boosts your teamwork skills as it requires you to work with others to make music. In band and orchestra settings, you must learn how to cooperate with the people around you. Furthermore, in order for a group to make beautiful music, each player and section must learn how to listen to each other and play together.
Playing an instrument comes with its responsibilities. Maintenance and care are very important in keeping an instrument in good working condition. Each instrument has different procedures to keep it functioning properly. In addition to being responsible for maintaining one's instrument, there are other aspects such as remembering music events like rehearsals and performances, and making time for practice. Thus, learning an instrument increases your sense of responsibility.
Playing music by yourself requires you to concentrate on things like pitch, rhythm, tempo and quality of sound. Playing in a group involves even more concentration because you must learn to not only hear yourself, but you must listen to all the other sections and play in harmony with the rest of the group. Therefore, learning a musical instrument sharpens your concentration skills.
【1】The author quotes Confucius' words at the beginning to ________.
A．introduce the topic of playing music

26、请阅读下面文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
Facial recognition technology has increasingly been used in China, from airports, hotels, hospitals, restaurants and even tourist spots. Guo Bing, a law professor at Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, has filed a lawsuit against(起诉) a local wildlife park because it requires visitors to walk through a compulsory facial recognition lane for admission.
China Daily held a forum on this case. Here are the selections of the views.
Johanna (China)
My concern is that my data might get leaked or sold to some company. My cellphone could be unlocked, my account hacked, and what would I do? Passwords can be changed, but I just can’t change my face. The government needs to start regulating this face identification. Misuse of data ought to come with penalties. Companies should face serious consequences if they fail to follow the rules.
Markwu (Malaysia)
Facial recognition really marks a leap forward in transportation. Truly, technology offers convenience to our clothing, dining, traveling and housing. It also helps law enforcement departments preempt(抢先行动) criminals. To fight against terrorists, facial recognition is necessary, because prevention is better than cure.
