21、More people who feel stressed about living in cities have been seeking protection in green spaces for the proven positive impacts on physical and mental health,but the benefits of “blue space”— the sea and coastline,but also rivers,lakes,canals,waterfalls,even fountains — are less well advertised, yet the science has kept in place for at least a decade: being by water is good for body and mind.
“Many of the processes are exactly the same as with green space — with some added benefits,” says Dr Mathew White,a senior lecturer at the University of Exeter.
White says there are three established pathways by which the presence of water is positively related to health and happiness.First,there are the beneficial environmental factors,such as less polluted air and more sunlight. Second, people who live by water tend to be more physically active. Third — and this is where blue space seems to have an advantage over other natural environments — water has a psychological recovery effect. When you are sailing, surfing or swimming, says White, “you’re really in step with natural forces there.”
Catherine Kelly is a wellness practitioner who teaches classes in “mindfulness by the sea”. She says the sea has a quality that can make people thoughtful.
“To go to the sea means letting go,” says Kelly. “It could be lying on a beach or somebody handing you a cocktail. For somebody else, it could be a wild, empty coast. But there is this really human sense of: ‘Oh, look, there’s the sea’— and the shoulders drop.”
【1】Why are blue spaces less popular than green spaces?
A．Because green spaces are good to people’s health.
B．Because the benefits of green spaces are better advertised.
C．Because green spaces have more benefits than blue spaces.
D．Because little research has been done on blue spaces.
【2】Where is blue space better than other natural environments according to White?
A．Water helps people restore mental health.
B．Where there’s water,there’s fresh air.
C．People living near water are healthier.
D．The sea can make people lost in deep thought.
【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．The sea will put you at ease.
B．The sea will hurt your shoulder.
C．The sea will bring you loneliness.
D．The sea will make you feel down.
【4】What does the author mainly want to tell us?
A．People in cities prefer green spaces.
B．Blue spaces benefit your body and mind.
C．Green spaces have been out of date.
D．Ways to keep us healthy.
22、If your in-box is currently reporting unread messages in the hundreds or thousands, you might have a hard time believing the news: e-mail is on the decline.
At first thought, that might seem to be the case. The incoming generation, after all, doesn’t do e-mail. Oh, they might have an account. They use it only as we would use a fax machine: as a means to communicate with old-school folks like their parents or to fulfill the sign-up requirements of websites. They rarely check it, though.
Today’s instant electronic memos—such as texting and online messages—are more direct, more concentrated, and more efficient. They go without the salutation (称呼语) and the signoff (签收); we already know the “to” and “from”. Many corporations are moving to messaging networks for exactly that reason: more signal, less noise and less time. This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated. Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message that you pick up later, I can now send you an easily-read message that you can read—and respond to—on the go.
The coming of the mobile era is responsible for the decline of e-mail. Instant written messages bring great convenience to people. They can deal with them at about any time：before a movie, in a taxi, waiting for lunch. And because these messages are very brief, they’re suitable for smart phone typing.
Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history? Not necessarily. E-mail still has certain advantages. On the other hand, tweets and texts feel ephemeral—you read them，and then they’re gone, into an endless string. E-mail still feels like something you have and that you can file, search and return to later. It’s easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications: agreements, important news, and longer explanations.
So, e-mail won’t go away completely. Remember, we’ve been through a transition (过渡) like this not so long ago: when e-mail was on the rise, people said that postal mail was dead. That’s not how it works. Postal mail found its smaller market, and so will e-mail. New technology rarely replaces old ones completely; it just adds new alternatives.
【1】What would the incoming generation like to do with their e-mail accounts?
A．Check bank accounts.
B．Send short messages.
C．Fill in some forms.
D．Communicate with their colleagues.
【2】Which of the following is mainly discussed in paragraphs 3 and 4?
A．The possible reasons behind the decline of e-mail.
B．The likes and dislikes of the young generation.
C．The rapid development of e-communication channels.
D．Evidence of the uncertain future of easily-consumed messages.
【3】What does the underlined word “ephemeral” in paragraph 5 mean?
A．Automatically-sending.
B．Randomly-written.
C．Hardly-recognized.
D．Short-lived.
【4】According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A．It’s too early to determine the decline of e-mail.
B．E-mail has reasons to exist with its own advantages.
C．E-mail, just like postal mail, has come to its end.
D．We should feel sorry for the decline of e-mail.
23、I wonder if I'm getting to be transparent. I can see waiters, but they can't see me. Ticket agents look right through me at the person next in line. I have the same feeling when I try to catch the attention of salesgirls, taxi drivers and my wife.
I'm substantial enough, maybe a little too substantial in places. And there's an undeniable air of authority about the way I stride (阔步) into a restaurant, pull my neck tie into place and signal the headwaiter. The headwaiter's glance sweeps my way, then comes to rest on a section of flowered wallpaper directly behind me. He considers it for a moment, and looks away. Five minutes later I manage to catch his eye. He strides in my direction, takes a menu from the pile at my elbow (肘) and walks back across the room. Another 10 minutes pass, and our eyes meet head-on. His face lights and he hurries toward me, saying to the couple right beside me: "This way, please."
Maybe I could arouse interest by pulling off the tablecloth. Maybe the best plan is to get up and start out of the restaurant without paying---a trick which never fails to earn me the whole attention of every waiter in the place.
On the other hand, people have no trouble making me out when I don't want them to. I never can avoid a friend who's been having a little bad luck lately and who would like to borrow some money. I'll spot him half a block away, and cross the street to the other side. He crosses at the same time. I stop and stare at a store window until he has passed, but his eye encounters mine in the reflection of the glass. I lend him the money, but from the moment on he can't see me.
【1】What can we learn about the author from paragraphs 2 and 3?
A．He cares about his appearance.
B．He feels ignored by the waiter.
C．He usually flees without paying.
D．He often puts on an air of pride.
【2】In his opinion, the author can be seen when ________.
A．expected to offer help
B．enjoying others' service
C．caught borrowing money
D．suffering a little bad luck
【3】What's the tone of the passage?
A．Serious.
B．Humorous.
C．Cautious.
D．Anxious,
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?
A．I'm a nobody
B．There is nowhere to hide
C．Am I a reliable friend?
D．Has anybody seen me lately?
24、Phillip Blanks, a retired U.S. Marine(海军陆战队士兵) and former high school star wide receiver is used to making winning catches for his team, but he surely didn’t imagine that his skills would save a life one day.
The drama started as Phillip was visiting a friend and suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the upper floor of the apartment. He immediately ran outside, where he witnessed an unbelievable and frightening sight—a building was on fire. The fire had quickly spread as smoke and flames engulfed the five-floor apartment. On one apartment balcony stood a frightened mother, searching below for someone to help rescue her three-year-old son. The desperate situation forced her to drop the child with hopes and prayers that he would be saved. Phillip didn’t hesitate to run ahead and magically caught the child as he fell from his mother’s hands.
A passer-by captured(捕捉) the magic moment which showed Phillip rushed toward the burning building and rescued the falling child. When describing the moment, Phillip said that the child landed right in his arms making it a perfect landing. The apartment resident(住户) and mother of two, Rachel Long, did whatever she could to save her children. Sadly, she did not survive the fire, but her courageous action saved her young son, Jamison. Another warmhearted person had rushed into the burning apartment and pulled her daughter out to safety before it was completely swallowed by the fire.
“I don’t see myself as a hero. I will do it again without giving it a second thought,” Phillip added. Thankfully both children are expected to make a full recovery. Phillip said he would continue to help them. “I want to try my best to give these kids enough love and care,” he added sincerely. In a follow-up interview, he said the experience changed his view of life as it made him realize people should help and protect one another.
