21、The Entropia Universe
The Entropia Universe is a virtual world on the Internet, which seems very like our real life．It is set in a distant future and based on a planet called Calypso．Entropia was the brainchild of a group of Swedish computer lovers who decided to see if they could create a three dimensional (维度的) virtual world that could be placed on the Internet．They did manage after they received the financial backing they needed.
The game can be played for free, but nearly all in-game activities require personal resources that you have available to use．Although there are various activities to keep you busy on Calypso, what most people do first is to find themselves a profession, such as hunting the fierce animals on Calypso, mining the precious minerals and making tools．Then they can think about buying their virtual house or paying a visit to a virtual nightclub or doing any of the other activities that make life bearable．
Entropia has its very own economy (经济) and its own currency, the PED (Project Entropia Dollars)．Players move real world money into PED which they then use to pay for their life on Calypso．However, the virtual things inside Entropia do have a real value in the outside world, and careful business deals mean that players can actually make real money there．PED can be changed into dollars any time at a rate of 10PED to 1 US$．
What’s so impressive about The Entropia Universe is the number of players; currently more than 600,000 representing over 220 countries from planet Earth．A number of players insist that it’s a good way to make money．However, the reality of Entropia’s economic system is that most people end up paying more than they earn and it’s not uncommon to find players who are paying up to $200 a month into their PED account．This might not be the most economical way of spending one’s free time．However, some people say that for them the fact that they can escape the realities of the earthbound life and become a different person with a completely different life for a few hours every week is worth the use of money, even if they don’t get any interest rates on it．

22、Even though I’m no skater, I’ve always considered Rochester a perfect location for an outdoor skatepark. Being a place missing some pleasures in Chicago, Rochester fosters a do-it-yourself (DIY) attitude in the pursuit of having fun.
So, after I noticed a skatepark being built under the highway entrance, I had a strong desire to know about it, not because I wanted to learn to skate, but because it is a perfect setting to develop the DIY charm of Rochester. So, last Saturday, I visited the skatepark for the first time, not only to take a closer look at its physical design, but to take a look at the crowds it attracts. On arriving there, I was fascinated to notice all the skaters taking cover from the rain under the highway, concentrating on a small concrete (混凝土) ground with a ramp (斜坡) on the far end.
I began chatting with a Rochester skater named Angel Vazquez. “All you need is a slab of concrete and a ramp, and you can spend many hours learning countless skills,” Vazquez said. “Once you’ve learned them all, you can do it all over again with different gestures.”
He then pointed toward the other skaters. “Look at them. So many people from different walks of life come here to skate. Whatever their status, everyone is brought together here by skating.” He then specifically pointed out a young man doing tricks on a nearby rail, saying, “See him? He is my best friend. He is unable to hear me because he is deaf, but we love to skate here together. We communicate with each other through a notepad.”
Soon after my conversation with Vazquez, I thought about our conversation. It felt as though the ground under my feet had a pulse. Even during a rainy day, life’s heartbeat can be found at that park, pounding (怦怦地跳) to the rhythm of wheels rolling over concrete.
【1】Which can replace the underlined word “fosters” in paragraph 1?

【3】What did the skatepark mean to Vazquez?

B．A bridge to connect with others.
C．A stage to show his countless skills.
D．A place to share learning experience.
【4】What does the author want to express in the last paragraph?
A．The praise for the skatepark.
B．The comment on Vazquez.
C．The call for more skateparks.
D．The impression of the conversation.

24、PARIS—The European Space Agency (ESA) says it was “blown away” by the record number of applicants—more than 22000—hoping to become the continent’s next generation of space travelers, including more women than ever and some 200 people with disabilities.
“We’ve all been astonished at the number of applicants,” ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher told a news conference. “It’s a very strong expression of interest and enthusiasm that people have across Europe for space.”
In giving out the results of a new recruitment (招募) drive aimed at more astronaut diversity, the agency acknowledged Wednesday that it still has work to do on gender balance. Just 24% of the applicants were women, up from 15% at the last hiring drive in 2008. The hiring campaign didn’t specifically address ethnic diversity, but stressed the importance of “representing all parts of our society”. The agency received applications from all 25 member nations and associate members, though most came from traditional heavyweights France, Germany, Britain and Italy. ESA specifically sought out people with physical disabilities, for a first-of-its-kind effort to determine what adaptations would be necessary to space stations to accommodate them.
The competition is fierce. Just four to six people will be chosen as Europe’s next astronauts, with a reserve team of about 20. The candidates will undergo intensive screening over the next year, with a final decision expected in late 2022.
The European agency has sent only two women into space to date—Claudie Haignere and Samantha Cristoforetti—but wants that number to grow. While 5 419 women applied for the new ESA program, “the numbers also show there is more to be done to achieve gender balance in the space sector,” said David Parker, its director of human and robotic exploration. Globally, 65 of the more than 560 people who have explored space were women, most of them Americans.
【1】How did ESA feel about the result of their recruitment drive?
A．Unexpected.
B．Curious.
C．Dissatisfied.
D．Understandable.
【2】What has been best achieved in this astronaut recruitment?
A．Gender balance.
B．Ethnic diversity.
C．Regional diversity.
D．Political Equality.
【3】How does the author present his idea in the last paragraph?
A．By providing data.
B．By giving examples.
C．By making comparisons.
D．By setting down general rules.
【4】What is the best title for the text?

B．Would-be Astronauts Hit Record?
C．Imbalance has arisen in ESA

26、读后续写
Jessie had two days’leave in January this year. She surfed the Internet for cheap travel deals and found the most impressive to be a two-day trip to Dublin. Jessie had never visited Ireland so she knew this was the destination for her.
She arrived in Dublin and headed for her hotel. She was excited. When she found her hotel, she paid her money for both nights in advance. The receptionist (接待员) said that was possibly the smartest thing she had done since she decided to take the trip. Jessie dropped her bags in her room and immediately went out to check out some of the sights. It was getting late as Jessie wandered in the streets and decided that even though she was starving, she would rather wait to have dinner later after having a drink.
She headed into the closest pub. Jessie noticed a rather strange-looking man staring at her from across the room. He walked to her table and asked her in his most polite manner if she would like to have a beer. After about ten seconds of thought, Jessie came to the conclusion that she would and accepted the offer. But she proposed that she should treat him to some fruits. The man smiled and accepted.
Their conversation was mainly about places they had been and places they wanted to go. Jessie soon found out that he was traveling alone too and as soon as he started mentioning that he was staying in the same hotel as her, Jessie swiftly rose from her seat to get another drink.
Searching through her bag Jessie found that her wallet was gone! Immediately she realized she took the wrong bag. Her wallet was in another bag. Jessie didn’t panic at first until it hit her that without it, she had not one penny in hand. She was starving. Worst of all, she had generously proposed a treat to the man.
