21、 Over the last several years, Japanese and Korean beauty services have moved over to the North American market, which may partly explain why we’re now seeing activated charcoal (活性炭) in so many products - it has long been used in those countries as a cleaning ingredient (原料). But there’s another reason for its recent popularity: marketers know we are suckers for anything novel. “Activated charcoal is highly popular on the Internet,”says dietitian Abby Langer. The charcoal in activated charcoal is created by burning carbon-rich materials such as wood and bamboo, turning them into a concentrated black material. Then the charcoal is”activated”by steaming it at high temperatures, which opens up its carbon structure and makes it full of very small holes that can join together dirt, oil, and bacteria on its surface.
However, does it really improve beauty and other products? Here’s the thing: despite some stories of clear skin from nutritionists, personal trainers and movie stars, there is no clinical evidence for the effectiveness of activated charcoal as a beauty quality. Likewise, there is no good evidence showing that using charcoal products for health in the mouth will make your breath fresher or teeth whiter. In a CBC story last year, the Canadian Dental Association wouldn’t recommend using charcoal products because they have no proven health benefits, and they may even damage your enamel(the hard white outer layer of your teeth).
Activated charcoal also enjoys a high status in the food industry, being used by restaurants and food brands to turn a long list of food and drinks a deep black color. So before you shell out extra cash for a lemonade with activated charcoal, remember that you’re paying for the look - there’s no scientific evidence for the”detox(排毒)” action it promises.
There are some proven uses for this stuff, though. In the emergency room. doctors sometimes feed some activated charcoal to patients who have been poisoned. If it’s done quickly - ideally within minutes but up to an hour after being poisoned, while the poisonous substance is still in the stomach - it prevents the body from absorbing it. So yes, activated charcoal might save your life. However, everyday users should know that it doesn’t combine with alcohol, so it won’t magical erase the effects of late-night drinking. Also, be aware that it doesn’t tell the difference between the bad and the good: it will mix with blood pressure medication pills and get them through your system, too.
【1】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Are crazy about B.Tend to ignore
C.Pretend to know D.Are doubtful about
【2】What’s the Canadian Dental Association’ s attitude towards activated charcoal Products ?
A.Supportive. B.Tolerant.
C.Unconcerned. D.Disapproving.
【3】Which one is a tested use for activated charcoal?
A.Controlling blood pressure.
B.Keeping food and drink fresh.
C.Absorbing poison in the stomach.
D.Reducing the effects of overdrinking.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Activated charcoal is getting popular
B.Here are some uses of activated charcoal
C.Is activated charcoal actually good for you?
D.Is activated charcoal environmentally-friendly?
22、Since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Braincomputer interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.
Recently, two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated (展示) a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person’s thoughts.
In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.
“Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord (脊髓) to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”
The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp (头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.
Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.”
He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.
【1】BCI is a technology that can ________.
A．help to update computer systems
B．link the human brain with computers
C．help the disabled to recover
D．control a person’s thoughts
【2】How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?
A．By controlling his muscles.
B．By talking to the machine.
C．By moving his hand.
D．By using his mind.
【3】Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?
A．scalp→computer→cap→wheelchair
B．computer→cap→scalp→wheelchair
C．scalp→cap→computer→wheelchair
D．cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair
【4】The team will test with real patients to ________.
A．make profits from them
B．prove the technology useful to them
C．make them live longer
D．learn about their physical condition

24、“It’s never too late to start something new”. Having had a long career in health care and academic achievement, Magi Sque found this advice totally inspiring as this is exactly what Magi Rose is all about!
When she was 17, Magi Sque—who then went by the name of Rosie—had the beginnings of a dream. On Saturdays she worked in the Calypso clothing factory in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, and after each shift she handed her £ 5 wage to her mother. She was saving for her passage to England, where she hoped to become a nurse.
After eight years, Sque moved to Canada with her young daughter. There Sque completed a degree in nursing at Surrey University. She earned the master’s certificate, too. At a talk on organ donation, she knew organ donors can save the lives of up to eight people. She became an expert, developing a theory of “dissonant loss”—the need for donor families to solve the imbalance between a loved one being clinically(临床上)brain dead and looking normal before they can agree to donation.
For five decades Sque practised, studied and taught nursing, eventually becoming a professor at Wolver-hampton University, all the while nudging her dreams of being a fashion designer further into the future.
As she came to her 70th birthday, she began to think: “Oh no, not another paper to read, not another article to correct.” And then she heard herself say: “It’s time to move on.”
She tried out for a weekend course for startups and, in 2019, days before she turned 72, Sque set up Magi Rose—“special, fun to wear, for downtime and holidays”.
【1】How did Magi Sque get the money to realize her dream?
A．Working part time on her own.
B．Being supported by her family.
C．Going to Toronto to earn money.
D．Working on organ donation.
【2】Which of the following can best describe Magi’s achievement in organ donation?
A．Ordinary.
B．Classical.
C．Striking.
D．Plain.
【3】What does the underlined word “nudging” mean in Paragraph 4?
A．Pushing.
B．Forcing.
C．Dividing.
D．Changing.
【4】What can we learn from Magi Sque’s story?
A．Love breaks down barriers.
B．Education is the key to success.
C．One should follow suit to succeed.
D．There’s no end to pursuing one’s dream.
25、 A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work.
