21、Do you usually feel you’re working hard but still can’t reach your study goals? Here are some quick tips to help you study better.
◆ Study with a partner or in groups
Rather than living in a cave with your nose in the books all day, grab a friend from your class and study with him. 【1】Actively engaging the information with someone else not only helps you to learn, but makes studying more enjoyable.
◆ Step into your teacher’s shoes
Ask yourself “If I were the teacher, what would I put on the test?” If in doubt, by all means, ask your teachers. 【2】Remember, teachers don’t expect you to memorize every single detail, just the ones they feel are important. It’s your job to figure out what that is.
◆ Paint bigger pictures
【3】It’s harder to remember each piece of a puzzle individually than it is to recall the completed picture.
Try this exercise: memorize these numbers in order 6...2...9...1...3...8...4...0...5.
Now try to memorize these numbers 629....138....405.
The bottom is easier right? It is the same order of numbers, but put into the context of bigger numbers. Creating context gives information meaning and also turns learning into an experience rather than simple absorption.
◆ 【4】
A hungry brain is an ineffective one. Your brain needs the proper nutrients to keep it going. Because of this, what you eat and drink also plays a huge role in how sharp your brain is. Healthy foods provide nutrients to your brain cells to keep them energized.
◆ Take breaks to relax your brain
Your brain is like a muscle. 【5】But it can also tire if you overwork it. If you divide studying into 15 to 30 minutes blocks with quick breaks in between, your brain will feel refreshed, grateful and ready for the next challenge you throw at it.
A．Feed your brain.
B．It needs exercise to make it stronger.
C．Relax your brain by eating and drinking.
D．Learn from them for the coming test.
E．You have probably experienced a lot of tests and quizzes by now.
F．Find ways to connect what you are learning to real life or to other concepts.
G．Group studying helps you to engage and process the information more deeply.
22、 We don’t meet people by accident. 【1】Some will help you grow, some will hurt you, some will inspire you to do better. At the same time, you are playing some role in their lives as well. Know that paths cross for a reason and treat people with significance.
【2】There is no better joy than helping people see a vision for themselves, seeing them go to levels higher than they ever would have imagined on their own. But that doesn’t mean you have to fix them or enable them;【3】Offer them support and motivation as they find their own way and show you what they’re capable of. All you have to do is believe in them.
Never look down on someone unless you are helping them up. We like to think of life as a meritocracy(精英统治),so it’s easy to look down on someone who isn’t as successful or accomplished or well educated as you are. But you have no idea how far that person has already climbed or where they will end up. Time could easily reverse(颠倒) your positions,【4】
Appreciate those who have supported you, forgive those who have hurt you, help those who need you. 【5】 Treat all people -including yourself-with love and compassion, and you can’t go wrong.
Treat people the way you want to be treated and life will instantly get better.
A. so be sure you treat everyone with dignity.
B. therefore, cherish every person you meet.
C. Never fix them when they make mistakes.
D. Don’t tell them how to get there but show the way.
E. instead, guide them to the source of their own.
F. Business is complicated, life is complex and leadership is difficult.
G. Every person you meet will have a role in your life, be it big or small
23、 Have you ever heard of the Internet of Things(IoT)? It’s a term that is being used more and more often lately.【1】Basically, any device with an on/off switch that connects to the Internet is part of the IoT. Based on this definition, What items might be part of the IoT? Look around you .Are there any devices in your home or classroom part of the IoT?【2】Your friend’s smartphone? Your teacher’s iWatch? How about those smart headphones you want for your birthday? These are all part of the IoT.
In many cases, these devices share data with each other.【3】For example, consider the devices in a smart home.There might be a smart thermostat(恒温器), a smart speaker and a smart oven(烤箱) . Now, picture a person walking home with a smartphone in their pocket. If the smartphones GPS knows the person will be home soon, it can send that Information to the other IoT devices, the thermostat can adjust to the person’s preferred temperature. The smart speaker can play their favorite album. 【4】All these things are done before the person walks through the door-and without them lifting a finger.
Exactly how big is the IoT? In 2020, it is estimated that about 34 billion devices will be connected. Just think of all the ways those devices can work together to make life easier!【5】with the threat of hackers(黑客) stealing data from devices in homes, cars and businesses. Security is now more important than never.
A.But what does it actually mean ?
B.But of course, there are drawbacks
C.Their universality might surprise you.
D.The smart oven can heat up their favorite snack
E.Too many IoT devices give little thought to the basics of security
F.The IoT bridges the gap between the digital world and the physical world.
G.By sharing data, devices on the loT work together to make some parts of life easier.
24、Orbital structures (轨道结构) are becoming increasingly important for worldwide communications and a new generation of technologies. But scientists are warning that the danger of space debris (碎片) is rapidly increasing. Space debris can include pieces of old rockets, non-operational satellites, lost tools and other items. They present a risk to spaceships, satellites and space stations.
In an effort to reduce the amount of debris orbiting the Earth, a group of economists at the University of Colorado at Boulder proposed a yearly fee, or tax, on satellite operators for their use of an orbital path. The group’s study on the subject appeared recently in the publication Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Matthew Burgess helped write the study. He said in a statement: “Space is a common resource, but companies aren’t accounting for the cost their satellites impose (迫使) on other operators when they decide whether or not to launch. So we need a policy that lets satellite operators directly factor in the costs their launches impose on other operators.
Akhil Rao was the lead writer of the study. He said most of the proposed answers to the problem have been based on using technology to clear away the debris. But, Burgess said, removing debris only means that operators will launch more satellites, and an international treaty (条约) calling for a yearly fee or tax would push companies to be more mindful about launching further objects into space.
Christopher Newman is a professor of space law at Northumbria University in Britain. He said that imposing a space tax could be tricky. Newman noted that such a cost could be seen as a restriction on the free use of space, and the effort to place a fee on the use of space could easily be slowed by the many details involved.
【1】What worries the scientists according to the passage?
A．The high cost of cleaning up space.
B．The increasing risk of space debris.
C．The safety of communication systems.
D．The practical effects of new technologies.
【2】What was the economists’ suggestion?
A．Strengthening control over space stations.
B．Allowing companies to use space for free.
C．Charging satellite operators orbital-use fees.
D．Using advanced devices to catch space debris.
【3】What is Burgess’s attitude towards clearing away the debris?
A．Supportive.
B．Neutral.
C．Indifferent.
D．Negative.
【4】What did Newman think of the economists’ idea?
A．It would lead to an argument.
B．It was well worth considering.
C．It was hard to put into practice.
D．It would eventually be rejected.

26、阅读下面材料,，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。
Most boys coming to our ranch (大牧场) were living around animals for the first time. Sent by educational systems, they were boys in trouble; they had no family, lacked love, often broke the rules, and were lonely. Our ranch created a “boy-horse communication program” for them, hoping to heal their broken spirits and help them behave well through their communication with horses. I was the program’s head.
15-year-old Martin was a new arrival. He appeared cold and easily angry and had no experience with horses. He seemed to consider a horse only a vehicle for speed and thrills. He always pushed his way to the front of the line every day, knocking down smaller children to get on the horse. And then he started moving fast. We tried to communicate with him, but he only cared about his excitement.
One morning, when I was upset about Martin’s behavior in my office, one worker told me that a female horse was ill. Then, I ran to its stable (马), and within an hour she was dead. We felt sad about her and also concerned about the young baby she had recently delivered (分娩). The baby horse’s first need was to be fed.
We prepared some milk in a bottle and offered it to her. But she wouldn’t accept the bottle. We had to put our hands in the milk and let her suck (吮吸) the milk off our fingers. It was a painfully slow method of feeding, but we had no choice if we wanted the baby horse to survive.
At that moment, Martin finished his daily riding and found us. Pushing his way through the crowd of kids who were watching us feed the baby horse, he got to the front, shouting, “I want to feed it!”
After I showed Martin how to do it, he put his hand in the milk and then put his fingers towards the horse’s mouth. When the baby horse closed her mouth around his fingers, Martin was surprised and drew back, shouting, “Hey, it bit me!” But knowing the little horse wanted more food, he immediately re-wet his hand.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
2. 请在答题卡相应位置作答。
And he gently put his fingers near her mouth.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Watching the horse sleep, Martin cried, “I’ll be her mom and care for her.”
