21、For a long time, sports have been viewed as a way to stay healthy and in shape, but their importance goes much further.
From a social standpoint, sports are a powerful tool that brings people together and creates a sense of community. 【1】 As an international student, playing pick-up basketball at the gym was the fastest and easiest way to make friends.
As a student, I had very challenging classes and occasionally had to deal with bad homework or midterm grades. I learned that I am not always going to get the results that I want, but no matter what, I have to persevere and not give up. 【2】
In addition to that, exercising is a great way to get out of the stressful college life that is all about homework, presentations, and group projects. 【3】 I personally think that I would go crazy without going to the gym at least three times a week.
The reason most students do not play sports is because they feel lazy about it and don't have the energy for it. 【4】 As a matter of fact, exercise pumps more oxygen through your blood and makes your entire system more active.
【5】 Besides just being fun, sports can help you perform better in school, relax more and worry less, deal with setbacks, work better with others and increase your energy.
A．To sum up, playing college sports has some serious benefits.
B．In short, playing sports can help students become more energetic.
C．They helped me get on very well with my teachers and classmates.
D．In fact, playing sports helps students relax and reduce their anxiety.
E．Sports gave me a positive attitude where I see falling as a way to learn.
F．They develop connections that bond together people from all walks of life.
G．However, the belief that the intense exercise will leave you exhausted is wrong.
22、Arjun's Apps
One stormy day, twelve-year-old Arjun Kumar was late getting home from school. It had been raining heavily near his school in Chennai, India. This delayed his school bus, and when he finally arrived, Arjun’s parents were worried.
His parents’ concern gave Arjun an idea — he’d create an app, which can tell parents the location of their children’s school bus. While researching different ways to write apps, Arjun located an online programming tool on the website of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. MIT was making the tool, called App Inventor, available to anyone who wanted to use it. As the motto on MIT's website states, “Anyone Can Build Apps That Impact the World.”
Arjun got to work doing just that. Using App Inventor, he created an app called “Ez School Bus Locator.” If a school introduced this app into its bus system, parents could log on to see the locations and estimated arrival times of their children’s school bus. Like other mapping apps, Ez School Bus Locator relied on GPS. GPS helps users determine their location, based on signals from a set of twenty-four satellites that orbit Earth. GPS-based apps calculate the location of a device by measuring the distances from three different GPS satellites. That's how Arjun's app determined where the buses were located.
The app could also confirm whether individual children were on the bus. Ez School Bus Locator used a specific bar code to identify each student. Students checked in when they got on and off the bus by using bar codes on their phones. As the bus driver drove, the app sent automatic messages to parents.
Does Ez School Bus Locator sound like a good idea? MIT thought so. In 2012, MIT held a contest to honor the best apps that had been created using App Inventor. Arjun's app won first place in the K-8 division, and in 2013, the app was available for purchase online.
Arjun didn't stop there. He continued developing new apps and he even started his own software development company. When asked for pointers for other young inventors, Arjun advised, “Look for problems around you, and get inspired from them. You’ll see a lot of opportunities to use your skills to make this world a better place to live!”
【1】What is the passage mainly about?
A．The life of inventor Arjun Kumar.
B．A student's invention of a bus locator app.
C．How App Inventor helped Arjun write an app.
D．How the rainy weather in India affected traffic.
【2】What do we know about Arjun's app from the passage?
A．It could be downloaded online for free.
B．It helped the children know where they were.
C．It was introduced by Arjun into the school bus system.
D．It used bar codes to track which children were on board.
【3】Why did Arjun continue to work on software development?
A．To inspire more young inventors.
B．To win many awards for his inventions.
C．To solve problems that he saw in the world.
D．To earn money to continue his education at MIT.
【4】What can we learn from Arjun Kumar's story?
A．Youth means limitless possibilities.
B．A man owes his success to his family support.
C．If you don't aim high, you will never hit high.
D．Good problem solvers are problem finders first.
23、In the near future IOT(Internet of 'Things)will drive huge innovation(革新)in the way our food is grown. Plants will have a "voice", not a human voice , but a voice based on data that can tell people, computers, and machines when , for example, they are thirsty, or need more sun, medicine, etc.
Take vertical(垂直的)farms for example. Farming is moving indoors where the growth of plants can be monitored and controlled. The facilities are built vertically, so growing areas can be put in piles. This greatly reduces the amount of land needed for farming.
From an IOT point of view, vertical farms are connected in two ways. First, small sensors(传感器)in the soil or connected to plants tell a control system exactly how much light, water, and nutrients are needed to grow the healthiest crops. Sensors will also tell vertical farmers when crops are nearing their peak for harvesting at just the right time to make sure it's still fresh when it reaches its final destination.
Second, vertical farms will be connected to other networks and information systems, including databases that track local demand. For example, local restaurants may input when they need fresh food supplies. And vertical farmers could get that information so they know which crops to grow in what quantities. This type of IOT system would have been unimaginable a generation ago.
Today, vertical farms are being experimented. Yet, the numbers point to a bright future for the industry, especially as the world's population continues to grow. For example, Green Sense Farms in Chicago is able to harvest crops 26 times a year using 85 percent less energy, one-tenth the water, and no pesticides. A side benefit of lower energy use is lower CO, output of two tons per month, with the added benefit of creating 46 pounds of oxygen every day.
【1】How do sensors attached to plants work?
A．By recording farmers harvesting crops.
B．By monitoring farmers working in their field.
C．By passing information on to a control system
D．By analyzing information to preserve crops.
【2】What can the IOT system help to do according to paragraph 4?
A．Expand the output of crops.
B．Move restaurants onto farms.
C．Determine the needs of farmers.
D．Match supply with demand.
【3】What is the author's attitude towards the future of vertical farming?
A．Hopeful.
B．Unconcerned.
C．Negative
D．Doubtful,
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A．Voice machines help plants speak up
B．Farmers are all turning to vertical farming.
C．Vertical farms driven by IOT are a future for agriculture.
D．IOT has brought great innovation to our future life.
24、Officer Jonathan Smith, 30, was called to Bond Lake near Lewiston, New York, after receiving reports of a little dog that had fallen in about 50 yards from the shore. In this heart-in-mouth footage (镜头) captured by a fellow officer’s bodycam (人体摄像头), the brave police officer threw off some equipment before dashing out onto the ice, without any caution for his own safety.
