21、When we meet someone for the first time, we usually get an uncertain sense of what kind of person they are by the way they shake hands, talk, or walk. In the age of social networking, however, first impressions are sometimes made even before we actually meet someone in person - that is, by looking at their profile photos（头像）. 【1】
In the study, a group of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania in the US used software to analyze the profile photos of 66，000 users of US social platform Twitter and 3，200 of their tweets.【2】The researchers wanted to find out if there was a relation between a person's profile photo and personality.
According to the results, open people are more likely to pose in an unusual way and use objects such as glasses or a guitar in their profile photo because they enjoy new and exciting experiences. Meanwhile, sensitive people often hide their negative emotions. 【3】Instead, they use an image of something like a pet, a car or a building. That's because sensitive people are strongly influenced by the strong social standard.
【4】For example, outgoing people are found to have the most colorful profile images, as they want to emphasize their personality and show themselves off, the researchers wrote.
Although social media photos "usually represent oneself, they also allow a user to shape his or her own personality，" according to the researchers. 【5】After all, first impressions always last.
A．They want to show themselves off.
B．They try to avoid showing their faces.
C．We should make our profile photos available to others.
D．Some users were asked to complete a survey about their personality types.
E．According to a recent study, these social images say a lot about our personality.
F．When choosing a profile photo, we should think about what image we'd like to convey.
G．The colors used in profile photos also give us some information about the photo's owner.
22、 Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines. That is, generally, younger people tend to outnumber older people in face of a technological shift.
It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars, there doesn't seem to be a clear generational divide. The public overall disagree on whether they'd like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.
The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how transformative the shift to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car now——and no one can get one yet ——but among those who are open to them, every age group is similarly engaged.
When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are obvious based on factors not related to age. College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education: 59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.
Where a person lives matters, too. More people who lived in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless car than those who lived in rural areas.
While there's reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going up, a person's age will have little to do with how self-driving cars can become mainstream. Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.
【1】What usually happens when a new technology appears?
A.It benefits society greatly.
B.The old are not happy with it.
C.People of different ages react differently.
D.It will separate the old from the young.
【2】What does the author say about the driverless car?
A.It makes people's life more convenient.
B.It can lead to fewer road accidents.
C.It may start a revolution in the car industry.
D.It does not seem to create a generational divide.
【3】What is likely to affect a person's attitude toward the driverless car?
A.The field of his special interest.
B.The location of his living place.
C.The amount of his driving training.
D.The length of his driving experience.
【4】Who are the most potential customers of the driverless car?
A.The seniors. B.The wealthy.
C.The educated. D.The car lovers.
23、The term “Metaverse” is the latest buzzword (流行语) to capture the tech industry’s imagination — so much so that one of the best-known internet platforms is rebranding to signal is embrace of the futuristic idea.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s announcement that he’s changing his company’s name to Meta Platforms Inc. might be the biggest thing to happen to the metaverse since science fiction writer Neal Stephenson coined the term for his 1992 novel “Snow Crash”. But Zuckerberg and his team are hardly the only tech visionaries with ideas on how the metaverse, which will employ a mix of virtual reality and other technologies, should take shape.
What is the metaverse? Zuckerberg has described it as a “virtual environment” you can go inside of — instead of just looking at on a screen. Essentially, it’s a world of endless, interconnected virtual communities where people can meet, work and play, using virtual reality headsets and glasses, smartphone or other devices. The metaverse also could be a game -changer for the work-from-home shift amid the coronavirus pandemic. Instead of seeing co-workers on a video call, employees could join them in a virtual office.
Zuckerberg’s embrace of the metaverse in some ways contradicts a central tenet (信条) of its biggest enthusiasts. They envision the metaverse as online culture’s liberation from tech platforms like Facebook that assumed ownership of people’s accounts, photos, posts and traded off what they collected from that data. “We want to be able to move around the internet with ease, but we also want to be able to move around the/Internet in a way we’re not tracked and monitored," said Steve Jang, who focuses on cryptocurrency (数字货币) technology. There is a growing concern about Facebook trying to lead the way into a virtual world that could require even more personal data and offer greater potential for abuse and misinformation when it hasn’t fixed those problems in its current platforms.
【1】Why is Zuckerberg changing the name of his company?
A．Because he plans to quit his present business.
B．Because he has founded the metaverse.
C．Because he will engage in the metaverse.
D．Because he wants to draw public attention.
【2】What can be inferred about the central belief of Metaverse fans?
A．Users should be responsible for their personal data.
B．Cryptocurrency technology should be monitored.
C．Tech platforms should possess users’ data.
D．The Metaverse should be tracked.
【3】What can people do in the Metaverse?
A．Do everything in the real world.
B．Have meetings in the virtual office.
C．Defeat the pandemic.
D．See co-workers on a video-call.
【4】What do some people think of Zuckerberg’ s decision?
A．Facebook will gain people’s trust.
B．Facebook will make the internet a better world.
C．Facebook may not abuse information.
D．Facebook may not play a good leading role.
24、Each year on October 15, Global Handwashing Day is observed to strengthen the health awareness and prevent the spread of infectious diseases. And a hand—shaped robot called “Pepe”, which encourages kids to wash their hands, has helped pupils at a remote Indian primary school to develop habits of personal hygiene (卫生).
Pepe was fixed on the wall above a hand—washing station at Wayanad Government Primary School in Kerala, which has about 100 pupils aged 5 and 10. A small video screen behind the green plastic Pepe acted as a “mouth”, allowing researchers to tele—operate the robot to speak to the pupils and draw their attention to the poster outlining the steps of effective hand—washing. A set of moving “eyes” helped Pepe pay attention to the children’s actions.
The robot helped pupils wash their hands more effectively, increasing their rates of hand—washing by 40 percent. Pupils spent twice as long washing their hands after Pepe’s arrival. And more than 95% of the students could correctly determine when hand—washing with soap has to be done—before a meal and after a visit to the toilet.
Hand—washing is one of the most effective ways against the spread of diarrhea and respiratory infections. Dr. Amol Deshmukh, from the University of Glasgow’s School of Computing Science, led the project in partnership with colleagues from Amrita University. He said, “We were delighted by the success of Pepe’s visit to this primary school. The children were excited to interact with this relatively simple machine, which was clearly good for keeping their hands clean. Dr. Bhavani from Amrita University said,” AMMACHI (Amrita Multi Modal Application and Computer Human Interaction) Labs have taken multi plans to address common challenges facing low—income rural communities in India and worldwide using technology.”
【1】Why was “Pepe” fixed at the Primary School?
A．To watch on pupil’ actions.

D．To develop children’s health habits.
【2】How did the robot bring changes to the pupils?
A．By playing with pupils.
B．By providing knowledge.
C．By offering pupils soap.
D．By washing pupils’ hands.
【3】What can you learn about Pepe’s visit to the primary school?
A．It was a failure.
B．It had no effect.
C．It was a success.
D．It was a waste of time.
【4】What does the underlined word “address” in the last paragraph mean?

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The easy way out isn't always easiest. I learned that lesson when I decided to treat my father to a special meal. I glanced through the cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time, I started on it as soon as he left for work.
As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything. As Dad loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was sticky dough (面团) covered with ugly yellowish marks. Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face him laughing at my work.
I went on preparing the rest of the meal, and, when Dad got home, we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the windows to see what he was doing.
Looking out, I saw Dad standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in the rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder.
Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the. fermenting yeast (酵母) made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing. I had to admit what the "living thing" was and why it was there. I don't know who was more embarrassed by the whole thing, Dad or me.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My dad tapped me gently on the shoulder, and we went inside.
