21、 Foldable phones are once again facing questions about their durability(耐久性).The Galaxy Z Flip and the Motorola Razr are now both available to buy in the US-but early reports suggest the screens are easily damaged.
One media published photos of two layers of the Razr's display separating, affecting the touch screen. The Galaxy flip, meanwhile, boasts(自夸)a "flexible glass" display---but tests appear to show it scratching(刮擦)as easily as plastic.
In a statement, Samsung said the display had a protective layer, and had undergone extensive testing. "While the display does bend, it should be handled with care, "it said.
The Z Flip's "pretty thin glass" is one of Samsung's primary marketing messages for the new phone. But a durability test conducted by popular Zack Nelson, a regular buyer, suggested it was no more durable than soft plastic screen, and could even be dented(痕)by fingernail.
Nelson said Samsung's screen scratched exactly how plastic screen would react. "I don't know what material this is, but Samsung definitely shouldn't be calling it glass," he said. He found that the screen of the Motorola Razr scratched as easily but it is not marketed as "glass".
The Motorola Razr was put on sale 13 days ago in the US, but Raymond Wong, an editor says the flexible screen on his handset has already broken. The upper layer of the Razr's screen separated from the bottom, creating "a giant horizontal air bubble" for no apparent reason. He wrote that the fault appeared after 45-minute train ride during which the phone was in his pocket. The screen was completely warped from hinge-to-hinge with the top layer raised like a poorly applied screen protector. But Mr. Wong said that apart from the visual problem, the damage has affected the responsiveness of the touchscreen.
【1】What attitude do the buyers have to the quality of Galaxy Flip and Razr?
A.Suspicious. B.Objective.
C.Optimistic. D.Unconcerned.
【2】What is the outstanding feature of the Z Flip by Samsung?
A.Low price. B.Portable style.
C.Extremely thin screen. D.Protective function.
【3】Why does Nelson complain about Samsung?
A.He is angry at its post-sale service.
B.He is strict in its screen materials.
C.He is disappointed at its unfair competition.
D.He is unsatisfied with its inexact statement.
【4】What is the best title of the text?
A.Cheat always exists in business
B.Foldable phones may not be all that great
C.Different brands have their special features
D.Disadvantages of two kinds of phones
22、Swimming and English Learning
Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I'm afraid you'll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It's the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.
Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn't matter. Just be relaxed, and try to catch every word.
Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He's afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don't be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important. When there's nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It's interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you'll make.
Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we're interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.
Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don't be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.
Easier said than done. Well, let's do more practice from now on. I'm sure you'll learn English well in this way.
【1】Why does the author compare Swimming with English learning?

23、In “minority report”, a policeman played by Tom Cruise, gathers information from three psychics(通灵者)and arrests future criminals before they break the law. In the real world, prediction is more difficult. But it may no longer be science fiction, thanks to the growing predictive power of computers. That prospect scares some, but it could be a force for good-if it is done right.
Machine leaming, a branch of artificial intelligence, can lead to remarkably accurate predictions. It works by chewing vast quantities of data in search of patterns. Take, for example, restaurant hygiene(卫生).The system learns which combinations of sometimes vague factors are most suggestive of a problem. Once trained, it can assess the risk that a restaurant is dirty. The Boston mayor’s office is testing just such an approach, using data from online reviews.This has led to a 25% rise in the number of spot inspections that uncover offences.
Governments are taking notice, A London district is developing an algorithm(运算法则)to predict who might become homeless. In India Microsoft is helping schools predict which students are at risk of dropping out. Machine-learning predictions can mean government services arrive earlier and are better targeted. Researchers behind an algorithm designed to help judges make bail(保释)decisions claim it can predict likelihood of committing crimes again so effectively that the same number of people could be bailed as are at present by judges, but with 20% less crime.To get a similar reduction in crime across America, they say, would require an extra 20,000 police officers at a cost of $2.6 billion.
But computer-based predictions are sometimes debatable. ProPublica, an investigative-journalism outfit, claims that a risk assessment in Bmoward County, Florida, wrongly labelled black people as future criminals nearly twice as often as it wrongly labelled whites. Citizens complain that decisions which affect them are taken on incomprehensible grounds.
These problems are real, but they should not spell the end for machine learning as a policy tool. Instead, the priority should be to establish some ground rules and to win public confidence.The first step is to focus machine learning on applications where people stand to gain extra help at school, say, rather than extra time in jail.
【1】The example of restaurants is used in paragraph 2 in order to_________.
A.illustrate how accurate the predictions are
B.urge that the government should take action
C.stress that vague factors can make a difference
D.show how machine learning changes people’s lifestyle
【2】What can be inferred about the bail decisions based on the algorithm?
A.More money would be spent to uncover offences.
B.More policemen would be required to reduce crime.
C.Less crime has been reported since the algorithm was applied.
D.Fewer people that are likely to commit crimes would be bailed.
【3】What conclusion does the writer draw from the risk assessment in Broward County?
A.In which area machine learning is applied matters.
B.Machine learning as a policy tool is coming to a dead end.
C.Public confidence in computer-based predictions is increasing.
D.The government should not rely on computer-based predictions.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A.Clever computers
B.The power of learning
C.The government that depends on AI
D.Decisions that contribute to better algorithm
24、For a land where snow is hardly a winter rarity, it will come as little surprise that Scotland has several words for the cold white thing that falls from skies.
But few might expect the list to amount to a grand total of 421 separate terms designed to describe everything from small flakes(雪片)of wind-driven snow (“spitters”) to a figure in a snowstorm(“snaw-ghast”)
The list, which shows that the Scottish comfortably out-compete the 100 or so words used by the Inuits for snow, is part of a project to bring together the roots of every Scots word into a thesaurus (a book that contains lists of words that have similar meanings).
The online Scots Historicl Thesaurus draws on forgotten words from outdated dialects (方言)to terms still used across Scotland today to attempt to record the full range of language used to describe daily life.
Initial research at the University of Glasgow has focused on two areas close to Scottish hearts-----the weather and sport.
Dr Susan Rennie, a Scots specialist at the university, said: “Weather has been a vital part of people’s lives in Scotland for centuries. The number and variety of words in the language show how important it was for our ancestors to communicate about the weather, which could so easily affect their lives.”
Researthers found that alongside many words for cloud and mist, Scots have excelled down the ages at dreaming up ways to describe the details of types of snow and the way in which it falls.
Someone interested in the weather would mix up “flindrikin” (a slight snow shower with a “bin-drift”, used to describe thick drifting(堆积)snow. The white thing can also “frog” (start to fall), “feefle” (twist around a corner)or “feuchter” (fall in sight flakes).
【1】Which of the following comes as a surprise?
A. There’s a lot of snow in Scotland
B. There’re many dialects in Scotland
C. Scotland has several words for snow
D. There’re over 400 Scottish words for snow
【2】What’s the purpose of the online Scots Historical Theasaurus?
A. To record the daily language used by Scots
B. To protect endangered languages in Scotland
C. To carry out research into the climate in Scotland
D. To let foreigners have a better idea of Scots culture
【3】Dr Suan Rennie gave an explanation of ___________.
A. how they made the world list
B. how Scots communicate with each other
C. why Scots like talking about the weather and sport
D. why they did research on the vocabulary of the weather
【4】Which word describes the process of beginning to snow?
A. Feefle B. Frog
C. Blin-drift D. Snaw-ghast
