21、Unlike the real world, identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace(网络空间). 【1】 So even the shiest person can become a chat-room star.
Usually, this "faceless" communication doesn't create problems. Identity doesn't really matter when you're in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis on the idea makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversations. Where else can so many people come together to chat about their interests?
【2】They are looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others fail miserably.
Supporters of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first. 【3】
But critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace, because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully craft(精制)their words to fit whatever image they want to give. And they don't have to worry about what their "faceless" communication is doing for their image. 【4】
All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship. 【5】 This will lead to disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different from the real person.
So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of the Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll, "Life in the real world is far richer than anything you'll find on a computer screen. "
A.In a sense, they're not really themselves.
B.Personal appearance doesn't get in the way.
C.But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with.
D.However, online relationships will be damaged by this kind of image.
E.The Internet encourages people to express their ideas in a more free way.
F.With so many unknowns, it's easy to let one's imagination fill in the blanks.
G.Rather a person's thoughts -or at least the thoughts he types-are what really count.
22、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance. But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror. 【1】 .
Body image is a person’s opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance. 【2】 . You appreciate your body for its capabilities.
So, what can you do to develop a positive body image? Here are some ideas:
Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport. That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting. 【3】 .
Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good physiques (体形) don’t just happen. 【4】 . A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to one hour three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.
Respect your body! Practicing good habits --- regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on --- can help you build a positive body image.
【5】 . Your body is just one part of whom you are. Your talent for comedy, a quick wit (智慧), and all the other things make you unique. So try not to let small imperfections(不完美) take over.
A. Use this as an opportunity to practice what you’re good at.
B. Be yourself.
C. They care just as much as girls do about their body image.
D. Just explore talents that you feel good about.
E. They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet.
F. The good news is that self-image and body image can be changed.
G. Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look.
23、What Are the Warning Signs of a Stroke?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that stroke (中风) kills about 140,000 Americans each year. Someone in the US has a stroke every 40 seconds. 【1】. Although stroke risk increases with age, about one-third of people hospitalized for stroke are under 65 years old.
Yet, in spite of these dire (可怕的) statistics, the American Stroke Association says that stroke “is preventable and treatable”. 【2】. The faster you recognize the signs and symptoms of a stroke and begin treatment, the more like you are to prevent long-term disability and death.
【3】. The most common type is called ischemic stroke. This is when a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain is obstructed by fatty deposits in the vessel lining, which is known as atherosclerosis. The ASA says about 87% of all stroke are ischemic in nature.
Hemorrhagic strokes, which comprise about 13% of stroke cases, result when a weakened blood vessel ruptures, 【4】. The blood builds up and compresses the surrounding brain tissue, causing tissue damage and cell death.
In each case, the longer the condition lasts, the more damage occurs. 【5】-every second the stroke lasts, more brain cells are damaged and die.
A.causing bleeding into the brain.
B.Someone dies from it every four minutes
C.Prevent the brain cells from being damaged
D.It is important to understand what a stroke is
E.Stroke specialists use the phrase “time is brain”
F.The treatment part depends the most on one important factor: speed
G.The recognition of the signs and symptoms of a stroke helps the treatment.
24、 It's easy to understand why early humans domesticated (驯养)dogs as their new best friends, domesticated dogs can guard against fierce animals and provide warmth during cold nights. But those benefits only come following domestication. Despite more than a century of study, scientists have struggled to understand what caused the domestication process in the first place.
A new theory given by Maria Lahtinen, a senior researcher, might be able to explain this puzzle. She made this theory when studying die diet of late Pleistocene hunter-gatherers in Arctic and sub — Arctic. At that time, around 20,000 to 15,000 years ago, the world was buried in the coldest period of the last ice age. In cold environments then, as today, humans tended to gain the majority of their food from animals. Nutritional deficiencies (缺失) came from the absence of fat and carbohydrates (碳水化合物), not necessarily protein. Indeed, if humans cat too much meat, they can develop protein poisoning and even die. "Because we humans are not fully adapted to an all-meat diet, we simply cannot digest protein very well," Lahtinen says.
During the coldest years of the last ice age — and especially in lough Arctic and sub-Arctic winters — reindeer, wild horses and other animals that humans killed for food would have been struggling to live. Using previously published early fossil records, Lahtinen and her colleagues calculated that the gamecaptured by people in the Arctic and sub-Arctic during this time would have provided much more protein than they could have safely consumed.
【1】What has been confusing scientists in the past century?
A.How domesticated dogs benefited humans.
B.When humans began to domesticate dogs.
C.What led to dog domestication originally.
D.Why early humans made friends with clogs.
【2】What will happen if one eats too much meat?
A.It can be fatal in a short period of time.
B.He will probably digest it very well.
C.He can develop carbohydrates poisoning.
D.He will survive the cold environment.
【3】What does the underlined word "game” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.The fierce contests.
B.The hunting activities.
C.Wild animals or birds.
D.Some tricks or schemes.
【4】What can be learned about the late Pleistocene hunter-gatherers from the last paragraph?
A.They struggled with wild horses.
B.They shared extra meat with dogs.
C.They struggled to live a good life.
D.They had trouble adapting to the cold environment.
