21、Last year we visited Stratford, the place where Shakespeare was born on the 23rd of April, 1564.

Stratford is a very interesting town, right in the center of England. The countryside around Strutford is pleasant, with its beautiful woods, green fields and quiet rivers.

The first place we visited was the house in the center of Stratford where Shakespeare was born. We saw the small desk that Shakespeare sat at when he went to school. One of the things we liked best was the garden behind the house, because we could see there many of the flowers, trees and plants that Shakespeare wrote about in his plays.

After we had visited Shakespeare’s birthplace, we went to see the church where he was buried.

We had lunch in a very old hotel that was probably there in Shakespeare’s time. Every room of the hotel had the name of one of Shakespeare’s plays on the door—the “Hamlet” room, the “Romeo and Juliet” room, and so on.

After lunch we walked across the fields to the old cottage, about a mile out of Stratford, where Shakespeare spent most of his married life. The cottage is just as it was in Shakespeare’s day. We saw the chairs where Shakespeare perhaps sat and thought about ideas for new plays, and we saw the plates from which he probably ate his dinner.

When we got back to our hotel in the evening, we were very tired but we had enjoyed a wonderful day.

【1】Stratford where Shakespeare was born is ______.

A．an industrial city in the middle of England

23、Stories about sled dogs hauling medicine and supplies through the frozen wilderness have become the stuff of legends, but did you know pups are proving just as powerful in the waves as they are on the ice?

In Italy, an elite squadron of 350 specially-trained dogs from the Italian School of Water Rescue Dogs (Scuola Italiana Cani Salvataggio, or SICS) has successfully been patrolling the beaches, working as lifeguards. 300 SICS units, consisting of one dog and one trainer, are tasked with watching over approximately 30 of the country’s busiest beaches. Thanks to their willingness to perform, strength, and fearless exploits-including leaping from helicopters into the surf below to rescue at-risk swimmers-an average of 20-30 lives are saved annually by the doggie guards, and that number continues to climb each year.

Earlier this month, when several families, including eight children, were endangered by strong wind and wave conditions while 330 feet from shore, three doggie lifeguards and their trainers rushed in to save the day. With the help of their human companions, dogs Eros, Mya, and Mira pulled everyone to safety in about 15 minutes.

The SICS program is the brainchild of 59-year-old Ferruccio Pilenga, who got the idea that dogs would make excellent lifeguards back in 1989 from watching his own Newfoundland, an immensely powerful swimmer named Mas. “He pulled a water-filled boat with three people on board for half an hour,” Pilenga told The Times of London. “A human cannot do that.”

The SICS program is arduous. After 18 months of basic training, only those dogs successfully completing the required steps are considered ready to move on to the more intensive aspects of lifesaving techniques, such as jumping from helicopters and leaping from speeding boats.

【1】What can be learned from Paragraph 2?

A．SICS trains both dogs and other animals.

B．Each SICS unit has at least two dogs.

C．The dogs have rescued about 30 lives so far.

D．The dogs’ performance is improving annually.

【2】What is the purpose of Paragraph 3?

A．To prove dogs’ loyalty to humans.

B．To show how dogs work with their trainers.

C．To explain the cause of the accident off the shore.

D．To remind swimmers about safety.

【3】What do we know about Ferruccio Pilenga?

A．He and his children created the SICS program.

B．He got the idea when he was watching a movie about dogs.

C．He thought dogs had advantages over humans as lifeguards.

D．He lost his dog Mas when rescuing some swimmers.

【4】What does the underlined word “arduous" in paragraph 5 mean?

A．easy

B．interesting

C．mysterious

D．challenging

24、Many people believe that you lose the ability to learn new languages as you get older. Language experts, however, will tell you that you're never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though.

Children and adults learn new languages in different ways. For children, language is their life. They study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn languages to become part of their communities. Adults, on the other hand, are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community, and adults rarely get the chance to practise as much as young children do.

Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident. Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect when learning a new language. This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.

When young children learn a new language, they come to see various languages as a “normal” part of society. This mindset helps them embrace learning a new language without feeling like they're doing something unusual or “too hard”．

So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! It's never too late to learn a new language. If you're older, it may take more work, but it can be done. If you're a young child, though, now is the time to step out and learn a new language!

【1】By saying “language is their life” in Paragraph 2, the author means that children ________．

A．can't live without language

B．lead a happy life every day

C．practise a new language a lot

D．are taken good care of by adults

【2】What may make it hard for the old people to learn a new language?

A．They are afraid of being laughed at.

B．They usually have too many interests.

C．They think making mistakes is natural.

D．They always make different kinds of mistakes.

【3】Which of the following shows the difference between children and adults in learning a new language?

A．The behaviour they have.

B．The learning attitudes.

C．The future plans they have made.

D．The materials they are using.

【4】According to the author, a new language ________．

A．can never be learnt by the old people

B．can be grasped by the old people easily

C．can be understood only by the old people

D．can be learnt by both the old and the young

25、Making sense of the five _________ — sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste — remains a forefront field in science. To explore these processes, researchers often try to _________ nature. In the 1950s, _________ , the late Cornell University psychologist Frank Rosenblatt copied the wiring and processing in a fly’s eye to build a device filled with a maze of wires and electronics. Studies like this, now powered by advanced computation, are creating a new field of study _________ intelligent sensing, which many scientists _________ at Zhejiang Lab in Hangzhou, China.

“Intelligent sensing is a new technology of copying the sensing mode through which humans _________ surrounding objects and the environment,” says Xu Liu, dean of the Research Institute of Intelligent Sensing at Zhejiang Lab. “Human _________, hearing, smell, taste, and touch all have their own nerve networks, and they all compute in a particular way. It is not only the mechanical sensing process, but also a _________ of physical sensing, nerve information processing, and brain recognition that forms a human’s knowing, learning and understanding their _________”.

Advances in intelligent sensing rely __________ on more advanced sensors, such as so-called smart sensors __________ from a conventional digital sensor. “These kinds of sensors will soon enter the market, but they can only be __________ as initial types of intelligent sensors,” Liu says, because even smarter sensors are __________ development.

__________ acknowledging the breakthroughs that have encouraged the development of existing sensors, researchers can be __________ that tomorrow’s sensors will be much more advanced.
