21、 When HarmonyOS, the Chinese self-developed operating system for Huawei mobile devices, was released on Aug 9, it quickly became a hot topic on social media. Many believe it not only represents the rise of the country as a tech power, but also pays tribute (致敬) to classical Chinese culture by naming the system “Hongmeng” in Chinese. “Hongmong” is a classical word from the Taoist (道家) text Zhuangzi. In the ancient times of Chinese myths and legends, “Hongmeng” was used to describe the original state of the universe before matter existed.
For HarmonyOS, “Hongmeng” indicates the developers’ aim to make an innovative operating system, unlike any other. Besides “Hongmeng”, Huawei has also registered many of its products under the names of legendary creatures from Chinese mythology, such as “Qilin”for the Kin mobile chip, and “Kunpeng” for the server chip. Many Chinese internet users and media have praised Huawei’s use of these names, “as they stand for Chinese wisdom and ancient people’s imagination and spirit of exploration”, Global Times noted.
In fact, Huawei is not alone in using traditional culture for modern ventures. Ne Zha, the new film, also portrays traditional culture in a modern context. Earlier this month it became the biggest animated movie in China and was called “the glorious light of domestic anime”. The movie is loosely based on the well-known work of classical Chinese mythology The Investiture of the Gods. Unlike his attractive heroic character in previous cinematic works, Ne Zha is shown as a rebellious underdog, who has to overcome hardship and his dark fate to become a hero. Many young Chinese people can relate to Ne Zha, who encourages them to become dream-chasers and fate-changers. As Global Times put it, today by revisiting and incorporating a modern context, “ancient mythology has the power to stir up contemporary imagination in young people”. After all, imagination is the beginning of creation.
【1】Why did Huawei name the new system “Hongmeng” in Chinese?
A.Huawei was interested in describing the original state of the universe.
B.Huawei targeted at designing a unique operating system in the world.
C.Huawei aimed to develop classical culture.
D.Huawei was fond of Chinese myths and legends.
【2】What was Global Times’ tone about Huawei’s use of the names from ancient cultures?
A.Admirable. B.Indifferent.
C.Neutral. D.Critical.
【3】Which statement about the new movie Ne Zha is NOT true?
A.Not all the plot is based on the popular Chinese mythology.
B.The new film Ne Zha means a lot to domestic anime in China.
C.The character of Ne Zha is a failure at first in previous works.
D.The film Ne Zha encourages many youth to achieve dreams.
【4】What’s the passage mainly about?
A.Huawei’s new names for its products and their influence.
B.A brief introduction of a new successful movie Ne Zha.
C.Imagination is important and the beginning of creation.
D.Ancient cultures come into new life and inspire imagination.
22、The world is reliant on the climate models that forecast our warming future and guide climate action. But why are climate models so complicated? Paulo Ceppi, a lecturer in climate science at the Grantham Institute, explains more as follows.
There’s several layers of uncertainty in making climate predictions. The first one is just knowing how much greenhouse gases will be emitted. That’s why the IPCC considers a range of future emission scenarios. But then within each scenario, there’s an uncertainty that comes from physical processes taking place in the atmosphere and the oceans.
I work on climate sensitivity, which is this basic question: how much global warming can we expect for a given increase in CO2? And to answer that question, we find that a lot of the uncertainty comes from clouds. Even fairly subtle changes in the amount, or type, or other properties of the clouds can have a pretty large effect on the amount of warming.
We can expect clouds to change due to global warming, and in turn those changes could accelerate warming further. There are two main changes. One is that with global warming, we expect the amount of low clouds to decrease. Because clouds act a bit like an umbrella and reflect sunlight back to space. If we have fewer of those umbrellas, then the surface ends up warming more as it absorbs more sunlight. And then the other is that high clouds will rise to even higher altitudes. That will increase their greenhouse effect, because as well as reflecting sunlight, clouds also have a greenhouse effect of their own. It could be described as blanket. If clouds rise, this blanket effect actually increases.
These effects were already in the models, just with large uncertainty. So on average, it seems that models were actually getting it right. We’re not suddenly finding that they are going to be a lot worse, but it’s more that we’re able now to reduce the range of uncertainty in these predictions.
Paulo Ceppi explains that for the climate scientists, it’s a challenge sometimes to talk about these uncertainties. We want to be downright, but at the same time we don’t want to appear as if we don’t know what we’re talking about. That’s why I think it’s also important to talk about the known facts, for example, that increasing greenhouse gases does cause global warming: there is absolute consensus(共识)on that.
【1】Which of the following statement will the author agree with?
A.Clouds mainly lead to the uncertainty of global warming.
B.The higher altitude the clouds rise, the less greenhouse effect is.
C.The scientists have known the amount of the greenhouse gases emission.
D.The scientists are unable to reduce the range of certainty in the climate prediction.
【2】What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 4?
A.To show the difficulty in figuring out the uncertainty.
B.To call on people to be aware of environment protection.
C.To teach people to learn more about the findings on clouds.
D.To introduce the interaction effect between clouds and climate.
【3】What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A.Models
B.Predictions.
C.Effects
D.Uncertainty
【4】What’s Paulo Ceppti’s attitude to the uncertainties in making climate models?
A.Honest.
B.Puzzled.
C.Indifferent.
D.Doubtful.
23、What leads to success in school? 【1】 “Perseverance” for example, seems to be a better predictor of success than IQ in school and beyond. Researchers have also demonstrated that having a “growth mindset” is associated with academic success which happens when a person recognizes that abilities are not fixed but developed through practice.
Researchers are exploring other characters that might contribute to success. 【2】 Data was collected on happiness and grades from 435 students at St Andrew’s including elementary, middle and upper school students.
【3】 Specifically, researchers found a statistically significant correlation(正相关) between happiness and students’ grades from elementary schools through high schools. Students often reported that happiness, or positive feelings like enjoyment or fun, supported their schoolwork. 【4】 It has been found that a network of supportive relationships is at the heart of happiness. Results showed that the quality of students, relationships with teachers and peers predicted their happiness. Across all ages, students with positive relationships were more likely to be happy.
Although voiced in different ways and time and again students of all ages emphasized that their relationships are fundamental to their happiness. These results suggest that there is an important relationship between happiness and academic achievement. More research is needed to explore the relationships among happiness social networks, and achievement in a school setting. 【5】
A.But what supports students to be happy?
B.But are happier kids sure to get ahead academically?
C.Recent research suggests success is partly driven by the character.
D.In recent studies, they explored the relationship between happiness and marks.
E.Psychology research showed a link between happiness and success in the workplace,
F.The results revealed students who are reported to be happier had higher grades.
G.By coincidence, the findings of this study are consistent with earlier ones in psychology.
24、Like many other people, I love my smart phone, which keeps me connected with the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop, because it holds all of my writing and thoughts. In spite of this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices and truly communicate with others.
On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the materials and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule ---no laptop, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There's a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There' s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it, so I carelate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course materials and the class discussion.
I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect students' satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course materials beyond the classroom.
I'm not saying that I won't ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I'm sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
【1】Which of the following statements is true?
A. The author's history class received low assessment.
B. The students think highly of the author's history class.
C. The author made the rule in that he was against technology.
D. The author made the rule mainly because of his unpleasant experiences.
【2】According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may .
A. allow students to get on well with each other
B. improve teaching and offer more help
C. prohibit students being involved in class
D. help students to better understand complex themes
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A. More and more students will be absent in history class.
B. The author will carry on the success in the future
C. Some students will be punished according to the rule.
D. The author will help students concentrate on what they learn.
