21、To live in the United States today is to gain an appreciation for Nahrendorf's declaration that social change exists everywhere. Technology, the application of knowledge for practical ends, is a major source of social change.
Yet we would do well to remind ourselves that technology is a human creation; it does not exist naturally. A spear or a robot is as much a cultural as a physical object. Until humans use a spear to hunt game or a robot to produce machine parts, neither is much more than a solid mass of matter. For a bird locking for an object on which to rest, a spear or robot serves the purpose equally well. The explosion of the Challenger space shuttle and the Russian nuclear accident at Chernobyl drive home the human quality of technology; they provide cases in which well-planned systems suddenly went haywire and there was no ready hand to set them right. Since technology is a human creation, we are responsible for what is done with it. Pessimists worry that we will use Our technology eventually to blow our world and ourselves to pieces. But they have been saying this for decades, and so far we have managed to survive and even flourish. Whether we will continue to do so in the years ahead remains uncertain. Clearly, the impact of technology on our lives deserves a closer examination.
Few technological developments have had a greater impact on our lives than the computer revolution. Scientists and engineers have designed specialized machines that can do the tasks that once only people could do. There are those who declare that the switch to an information-based economy is in the same camp as other great historical milestones, particularly the Industrial Revolution. Yet when we ask why the Industrial Revolution was a revolution, we find that it was not the machines. The primary reason why it was revolutionary is that it led to great social change. It gave rise to mass production and, through mass production, to a society in which wealth was not restricted to the few.
In somewhat similar fashion, computers promise to revolutionize the structure of American life, particularly as they free the human mind and open new possibilities in knowledge and communication. The Industrial Revolution supplemented and replaced the muscles of humans and animals by mechanical methods. The computer extends this development to supplement and replace some aspects of the mind of human beings by electronic methods. It is the capacity of the computer for solving problems and making decisions that represents its greatest potential and that poses the greatest difficulties in predicting the impact on society.
【1】Why does the author give the examples of the Challenger and Chernobyl?
A．To show that technology could be used to destroy our world.
B．To stress the author's concern about the safety of complex technology.
C．To prove that technology usually goes wrong, if not controlled by man.
D．To demonstrate that being a human creation, technology is likely to make an error.
【2】What docs the phrase '"went haywire" in paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A．were out of range
B．got out of control
C．fell out of use
D．went out of date
【3】According to the author, the introduction of the computer is a revolution mainly because________.
A．it has a great potential impact on society
B．it has helped to switch to an information technology
C．the computer has revolutionized the workings of the human mind
D．the computer can do the tasks that could only be done by people before
【4】In the passage, the author clearly shows his____.
A．keen insight into the nature of technology
B．sharp criticism of the role of the Industrial Revolution
C．thorough analysis of the replacement of the human mind by computers
D．comprehensive description of the negative consequences of technology
22、Taj Mahal, Agra, India
As many as 28 different varieties of precious stones were used to decorate the outside of the Taj Mahal. Construction took around 20 years. The building, which was made from white marble from the quarries(采石场) of Rajasthan, appears pink in the morning, white in the day and golden in the moonlight.
Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, Akashi Strait, Japan
It took 10 years to construct the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. It connects the city of Kobe, on Japan’s mainland, with Iwaya on Awaji Island. Before it opened, the only way to get between the two cities was by ferry. However, the waterway was at the mercy of severe storms and when two ferries overturned in 1955, killing 168 people, public anger convinced the government of the need for a bridge. It's the longest suspension bridge in the world, with a length of 1,991 meters.
Panama Canal, Panama
More than 4. 5 million cubic yards of concrete were used in the construction of this canal’s locks and dams. The Panama Canal is a 47-mile long waterway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The earth and rubble dug to make way for it was enough to bury Manhattan to a depth of four meters. A series of locks allows ships to pass through the water. Each lock door weighs 750 tons and each lock fills with 52 million gallons of water to accommodate the 15,000 ships that use the canal every year.
Grand Canyon Skywalk, Arizona
The Skywalk’s foundation is strong enough to support 71 million pounds , Located 1,219 meters above the Colorado River, the Grand Canyon's Sky Walk consists of one million pounds of steel and 83,000 pounds of glass. It was the creation of Las Vegas businessman David Jin, who approached the Hualapai Tribe with the idea of a glass walkway over the Grand Canyon in 1996. The Sky walk was assembled on site.
【1】The Japanese government decided to build the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge ___________

23、 There is a beautiful story I heard once about a child playing with a vase(花瓶) his mother had left on the table for a few moments. When the mother turned at the sound of her son crying, she saw that his hand was in the vase and was apparently stuck. She tried to help him and pulled and pulled until the child cried out in pain. But the hand was stuck fast. How would they get it out? The father suggested breaking the vase but it was quite valuable and the child’s hand might be cut in the process. Yet he knew that if all else failed, there would be no other alternative. So he said to the boy, “Now, let’s make one more try. Open your hand and stretch your fingers out straight, like I’m doing, and then pull!” “But Dad,” said the boy, “if I do that, I’ll lose my penny!”
The boy had had a coin in his hand all the time and was holding it securely in his tight little fist. And he wasn’t prepared to open his hand and lose the penny. But once he opened his hand, it came out of the vase easily.
I used to hold on to things in my life that I thought were so important to me. Early in my marriage, all I cared about was becoming the best volleyball player in the state of Wisconsin. One year, when Kristi was working shifts at General Motors, I played in 1,400 games, competing four nights a week and 40 out of 52 weekends. My team won over 1,000 games. Success on the volleyball court, but a huge loss in my relationship with my Kristi.
When I finally let go, I looked back at what I had done and was ashamed. Not only did I show my wife she wasn’t the most important thing to me, but I missed out on a lot of relationship building time. My life is so much richer now that I am not a slave to that drive to be the best player I could be.
【1】Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A.The Beautiful Vase in Your Life
B.The Way of Keeping Balance in Life
C.My Dream of Becoming the Best Volleyball Player
D.Holding On to What Is Important
【2】The author tells the story about the boy and the vase to show ______.
A.how naughty a little boy can be
B.we need to drop the unimportant things in our life
C.a little boy may do something silly
D.money is not the most important for us
【3】Why did the boy get his hand stuck in the vase?
A.He had a coin in his hand.
B.He didn’t know how to stretch his fingers.
C.He was afraid to break the vase.
D.His hand was hurt inside the vase.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.The author had his relationship with Kristi improved.
B.The author didn’t regret what he had done.
C.The author still plays volleyball as much as before.
D.Kristi left the author in the end.
24、Forget expensive gym memberships — you don’t need to spend a fortune to exercise. From the best free classes and apps to outdoor gyms, here is how to work out at a minimal(最低的) cost.
In-store exercise classes
In the same way as bookshops double up as coffee shops, activewear shops have learned to multitask as gyms. Outlets from Sweaty Betty(which has branches throughout the UK) to Asics and Nike offer free running clubs: check out their websites to sign up online. 【1】, and some classes are heavily in demand.
Run
I gave up the gym five years ago when I faced the fact that my monthly visit was costing me £80. With the first £80 saved I bought some discounted running shoes. 【2】.
Good Gym
【3】, then Good Gym could supply motivation while doubling the feel good factor. It connects local runners with a range of necessary good deeds from gardening to changing a lightbulb. Some jobs require two runners, others two dozen. The idea is you run to the mission, do the deed, then run back, thereby combining altruism(利他主义), fitness and socializing in one rewarding act.
【4】
You might be surprised to discover how many cheap fitness options lie within a short walk of your doorstep. Many local authorities offer fitness initiatives. Mine (Hackney, in east London) organizes £1 exercise classes from family taekwondo(跆拳道) to chair-based yoga. 【5】. Check your local council’s website. They are also likely to run tennis courts.
A．Embrace your community
