21、A tender woman, or an independent one, which one would you prefer? Arecent research shows that most people would choose the latter.
This type of woman is called a nühanzi (“tough woman”). Experts believe these characteristics have social and psychological roots among young femalesin China. Su Hao’s friends all call her a tough woman, because she can finish tough tasks usually carried out by men. For example, she carries 10-litre water to her dormitory on the 5th floor. “I depend on no one but myself,” she says.
According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, tough women have become rather common in society. Of the 21,265 respondents, 78.5 percent said they are familiar with a tough woman. About 50 percent said they like women with tough characteristics, while less than 29 percent expressed the opposite view.
Why are tough women gaining popularity? Shen Meng, a psychological consultant, believes the fierce competition in society is contributing to this trend. “Women are often in a disadvantaged position compared to men,” Shen says. “In order to survive, they have to be independent, strong and tough.” Liu
Xiao lin, professor of psychology at Wuhan Mental Health Center, believes tough women are brought up this way. They are often on close relationship with their fathers, who teach their daughters to be brave and decisive,” he says. As a result, these women are more likely to be psychologically healthy and more tolerant to stress, according to Liu.
Though Liu believes that this is a good trend, Hu Shenzhi, a psychologist at the Guangdong Sunflower Counseling Center, says the popularity of tough woman indicates an unclear line between gender identities, which can lead to relationship problems. “Some women with characteristics that differ from the traditional female image may have a difficult time finding Mr Right,” he says.“Even if they get married, their manly characteristics might cause family conflicts.

A. Because tough women are more lovely.
B. Because of the fierce competition in society.

D. Because girls often love fathers more.

A. It’s difficult for them to be friends.

22、 On November 24, 1868, Scott Joplin was born in Texas. He became famous as a ragtime (拉格泰姆音乐) composer and piano player. Ragtime music was an early form of jazz. This music has a lively beat and was developed from the music of African Americans.
Ragtime became popular in the early 1890s, and the music was played on the piano. The piano player usually made up a melody, then changed it a little bit every time he played. Scott Joplin was very good at composing, or making up music and playing the piano. When he was growing up, Joplin’s home was filled with music. Still, Joplin’s father did not want him to be a musician. When he was about 14 years old, Joplin left home to travel and start a life of his own. He traveled all over the Midwest playing the piano and composing music. Sometimes he played with music groups. Other times he sang by himself in noisy saloons and bars. In 1899, Joplin wrote Maple Leaf Rag, a ragtime song that became a big hit and earned Joplin the title of The King of Ragtime. In all, he wrote more than 500 songs. Joplin’s biggest dream was to compose a ragtime opera. Finally, after 10 years, Joplin completed a ragtime opera which he called Treemonisha. This opera was about a young black woman who became a leader of her people. She tried to help her people gain their freedom and their rights.
1916, Joplin became very sick. He had a disease that made him forget things and become easily afraid of things. In 1917, he was put in the hospital. He finally died there on April 1, 1917. Scott Joplin’s music became popular again in the early 1970s when it was used in a movie called The Sting.

24、Risky play gives children a feeling of thrill and excitement. Risk is an essential part of a balanced childhood. Exposure to healthy risks, particularly physical, enables children to experience fear, and learn the strengths and limitations of their own body.
For this generation of children, always from scheduled soft play, to school, to club, to sofa, we’ve got a lot of work to do. As parents, many of us are unused to allowing even the tiniest degree of danger to enter the lives of our children. Surely it’s the job of a good parent to keep them safe.
That’s why roaming-distance — how far children play from home — has decreased by 90% in the past 30 years. We are a nation of stubborn helicopter parents, managing a schedule of activities and waiting below our children on the monkey bars in case they should slip. It’s no wonder that the virtual risk of computer games is so appealing and addictive—the real world seems rather mild in comparison.
So how can we put some of that danger and excitement back into the lives of our children? The answer is step by step and in an age-appropriate way. First, the outdoors is key. Outdoors time every day is essential, and don’t just head to the neat and controlled environment of the play area. Permit your primary-age children to leave your sight. Risky sports are a reasonably controlled way to allow your children to feel fear. Horse riding or skiing might be expensive, but what about skateboarding, tree-climbing or rock-climbing? Your child could fall at some stage, and they will probably feel out of control — but wow, they’ll feel alive. Water, too, is an essential healthy risk. Let them climb in streams, slide in mud and fall over in the sea wearing all their clothes. Your job as an adult is to manage the risk.
【1】What is the author’s concern about the children according to the passage?
A．They are exposed to too many risks.
B．They are addicted to computer games.
C．They are unwilling to experience the fear.
D．They have less access to enough risky play.
【2】What has caused the decrease in roaming-distance?
A．The balanced schedule of activities.
B．Doing too much homework.
C．Parents’ overprotecting.
D．The shortage of safety measures.
【3】What does the author advise parents to do?
A．Forbid kids to play risky games.
B．Permit kids to climb trees or skateboard.
C．Accompany kids all the way outdoors.
D．Encourage kids to play in a cleaner environment.
【4】What’s the main idea of the text?
A．Letting your kids experiencing healthy risks will benefit their growth.
B．How to manage the risks for your kids is the parent’s job as an adult.
C．Parents should keep your kids free from risks step by step.
D．It’s the parents’ responsibility to play with your kids in risky sports.

26、Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
The World Should Welcome the Rise of the Robots
The word “robot” was coined in 1020 by the Czech playwright Karel Capek, who imagined artificial, fully functional servants. For most of their history, however, robots have been dumb, inelegant mechanical devices sitting out of sight in factories.
Things are starting to change, however. Robots have benefited from rapid innovations in smartphones, which brought cheap cameras and sensors, fast wireless communications and powerful, smaller computer chips. More recent advances in machine learning have added software to make robots better informed about their surroundings and equipped them to make wiser decisions. Robots are leaving carefully managed industrial settings for everyday life. In a pandemic-ravaged world, short of workers but with lots of elderly folk to look after, having more robots to boost productivity would be a good thing.
And yet many people fear that robots will destroy jobs. A paper in 2013 by economists at Oxford University was widely misinterpreted as meaning that 47% of American jobs were at risk of being automated. In fact, concerns about mass unemployment are overblown. The evidence suggests robots will be disruptive but ultimately beneficial for labour markets. Japan and South Korea have the highest robot penetration but very strong work-forces. A Yale University study that looked at Japanese manufacturing between 1978 and 2017 found that an increase of one robot unit per 1,000 workers boosted a company’s employment by 2.2%. Research from the Bank of Korea found that robotization moved jobs away from manufacturing into other sectors, but that there was no decrease in overall vacancies.
Inevitably, some people will be on the losing end of change even as the robots make society as a whole better off. It may trigger a political backlash, because the losers feel left behind. That is one more reason why firms and governments would do well to recognize the value of retraining and lifelong learning. As jobs change, workers should be helped to acquire new skills.
The potential gains from the robot revolution are huge. There is no reason to think the robots will revolt against their human masters and cause mass unemployment and worse.
