21、Everyone has got two personalities — the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behavior, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. During a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren't very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. You’re very stubborn, but you aren't very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You're easily hurt.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don't often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.

22、 To successfully voyage along the northernmost part of the world, travelers need the best technology science has to offer.
Icebreakers are the most obvious example of Arctic technology. They are specially designed ships that can bear the great power of Arctic floating ice. Any nation with an interest in exploring the Arctic has at least one icebreaker in their possession. For example, China has two polar research vessels ( 轮 船 ): the Xuelong and the Xuelong 2. The Xuelong 2 was launched in October 2019 and is the country’s first domestically-built icebreaker.
Sweden has one of the world’s most powerful icebreakers. Knowns as Oden, it is one of the premier platforms for research in polar oceans. The US also has two icebreakers by the names of Polar Star and Healy, which can break through 6.4 and 2.4 meters of ice, respectively.
Drones (无人机) and other unmanned vehicles are quickly becoming some of the most promising tools in the melting Arctic for scientific research, military purposes and the search for natural resources. An autonomous underwater vehicle called Klavesin-2R-PM is currently in development in Russia, according to Robotics Business Review. It reportedly has a speed of 50 kilometers an hour and operates at depths of 6 kilometers. In the US, the Navy is developing a drone to operate in the Arctic Ocean to monitor how fast the ice is melting. Meanwhile, Canada, Norway and Denmark are all taking steps to launch Arctic drones.
The Arctic also houses an important resource deep in the ice mountains of Svalbard. It’s called the Global Seed Vault (保存库), which is basically a safety storage box holding the planet’s largest number of agricultural biodiversity. “Inside this building is 13,000 years of agricultural history,” said Brian Lainoff, lead partnerships coordinator of the Crop Trust, which manages the vault, in a interview with Time magazine. The vault is built 150 meters deep into the side of a mountain. The seeds are stocked in floor-to-ceiling shelves and potentially hold the key to the future of Earth’s food security.
In pursuit of the Arctic’s abundance of resources, nations will continue to develop the most cutting-edge technology in order to explore all the Arctic has offer.
【1】What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.Difficulties in building icebreakers.
B.Reasons for developing icebreakers.
C.Countries need to join hands to build icebreakers.
D.Countries make efforts to develop their own icebreakers.
【2】What do we know about Klavesin-2R-PM?
A.It operates according to people’s orders. B.It is used to monitor melting ice.
C.It may be able to operate in deep water. D.It has been used in Arctic exploration.
【3】Why is the Global Seed Vault important?
A.It keeps some food for future use. B.It may help ensure the Earth’s food security.
C.It holds the most plant seeds on Earth. D.It shows humans’ history of exploring the Arctic.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

C.Icebreakers in the Icy North D.Exploring Icy Regions with Tech
23、Thirty years ago I worked in a company. My job was to sell the cars. I was young and strong and I had been to most parts of the world and I spent one fifth of my time in the trains or planes. I liked such a life and sometimes I called myself “traveler”.
But one day I got into trouble. It was a cold morning. It blew heavily and the ground was covered with thick snow outside. I was still in bed though it was nine. I finished a long journey the day before and decided to have a good rest. Suddenly the telephone rang and my manager told me to fly to New York to take part in an important meeting. I had to get up and after a quick breakfast I hurried to the airport. The taxi went slowly and I missed the first flight. I had to take the next one. It meant I would wait for nearly five hours in the waiting-room. But five hours later a passenger said the information showed there was a bomb in our plane and the policemen were looking for it. And another five hours passed and most passengers lost their patience before we were allowed to get on the plane. At the entrance each passenger and their baggage had to be examined. A young man who seemed a soldier shouted at the policemen at the entrance, “If I had a gun in my baggage, I would shoot you two hours ago!”
【1】The writer called himself “traveler” because he ________.
A．sold cars for his company
B．traveled all over the world
C．often took trains and cars
D．liked traveling in many places
【2】He didn’t get up until the phone rang because he ________.

B．felt very cold outside
C．was going to have a meeting
D．was waiting for the manager’s call
【3】The taxi went slowly because ________.
A．the manager told him not to hurry
B．it was very cold that morning
C．the driver didn’t know he would fly to New York
D．there was much snow on the road

24、Businesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers’ desire to go green. However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.
Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.
This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s environmental reputation was not good enough.
Harry Morrison, chief executive(主管)of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes:“I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking—we don’t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.”
Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions(排放). Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.
The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing.“When companies are granted(授予)the standard, they can use a logo(标识)in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,”Mr. Morrison said.
【1】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.
B. Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.
C. Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home.
D. Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers’ environmental awareness.
【2】The underlined word“inform”in Paragraph 2 probably means“ ”.
A. affect B. change C. disturb D. reject
【3】According to Harry Morrison, businesses .
A. will benefit from cutting carbon emissions
B. should buy carbon allowances for shoppers
C. are required to make up for their carbon emissions
D. have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere
【4】We can learn from the passage that businesses will .
A. have a strong desire to reduce costs
B. use the same logo in their marketing
C. gain advantages by taking early action
D. attract more shoppers by storing goods
