21、 Tyler Skiuzacek’s father, Patrick, could not sleep through the night. It was 2007, and Patrick had just returned from a year in Iraq, where he served in the U. S. Army. Patrick Skluzacek was energetic and happy when he left for Iraq, Tyler says. But when he returned, he was unhappy and drinking alcohol too much. It turned out Patrick was suffering from sleep panic attacks. Patrick would wake up every night. His heart would beat too fast. He would sweat. The nighttime panic attacks prevented Patrick from feeling good the next day, because he was so tired.
Almost 10 years later, Tyler was in a position to help his father. He thought he could make a computer program that might help his father. So he entered a competition in Washington, D. C, trying to solve the problem Tyler’s father and other U. S. war veterans (老兵), were having. People called them”night terrors. ”The students had 36 hours to come up with a program. They called it myBivy—That name comes from bivouac, a military term for a safe place to sleep.
The application uses a smart watch and a smart phone together. The watch tracks the wearer’s heartbeat. It sends the data to the program on the smart phone. Research shows that a person’s heart rate will increase right before a night terror. So if the wearer’s heartbeat started to rise, myBivy would respond. The smart watch would vibrate and gently wake up the sleeping person. That was enough to prevent a night terror from happening.
Patrick wore the watch for two weeks to get used to it. Then, Tyler turned on the application. On the first night, the vibrations from the watch prevented 10 nightmares. Patrick said he had not slept that well in many years. Tyler and his team won the contest in Washington, D. C. The prize was $1,500. Then the group tried to raise more money from investors, and they were surprised when they took in over$25,000. By the spring of 2016, Tyler and his team were testing the app with volunteers, and hoped to make it available to the public soon.
【1】What might be the cause of Patrick’s problem?
A.His experience in the war. B.His drinking habit.
C.His family troubles. D.His sleeping disorder.
【2】We can learn from the second paragraph that ________.
A.the US government tries to help war veterans
B.people look down upon the night terrors
C.many other veterans suffer similar problems
D.myBivy was named after a great soldier
【3】What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A.How effective the app is. B.How to download the app.
C.How to design the app. D.How the app works.
【4】What does the author probably think of the future of myBivy?
A.Valueless. B.Promising.
C.Tough. D.Controversial.
22、On Lunar New Year’s Eve, when people gather to welcome the Year of Tiger, they make up for the lost time and share good wishes as taste buds feast at a banquet(宴会). At the annual banquet, some foods are symbols of good fortune because of how they look or how their names are pronounced. Hungry and looking for luck? Here are dishes to eat your way to a lucky year.
Dumplings
Dumplings are typical Chinese food. Having pleased Chinese people for over 1, 800 years, dumplings have moved up the list as the star of the Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner for people in northern China. They are said to bring good fortune because of their shape that is similar to aningot(元宝), the money used in ancient China. Dumplings also represent togetherness since making dumplings is an activity requiring family members to roll up their sleeves and cooperate in the process.
Rice cake
Professionals seeking a promotion at work, parents wanting their kids to grow taller or students hoping to get better grades might have their wishes answered if they eat rice cake.
Called “年糕” in Chinese, it sounds similar to “getting higher every year”. Sticky, chewy and yummy, rice cake is characteristic in southern Chinese cuisine and represents progress in life.
Pigs trotters
Pigs’ trotters might not be the most attractive item on the table, but it makes up for nutrition and good luck. Pigs are fortunate animals in Chinese culture, symbolizing strength and wealth. Some pig species are also known to be able to search out the valuable ingredient underground with their sensitive noses. Just imagine that a life of luxury and riches could only be a trotter away!
Green beans
Stir-fried green beans might not be the highlight of the night, but one would be wrong to ignore what they offer. With the base of garlic, ginger and red pepper making it a tasty vegetarian option, a few bits of dried meat put into the pot add a smoky flavour. Green beans are called “四季豆”in Chinese，and they’re thought to bring in good fortune for the year ahead. People also believe they are a symbol of longevity because of their long pods.
【1】Why are these dishes suitable to appear on New Year’s dinner?
A．Because they are tasty.
B．Because they are good-looking.
C．Because they symbolize good luck.
D．Because they are easy to prepare.
【2】If a student wants to make progress in study, which food can be recommended?
A．Pigs trotters
B．Rice cake
C．Dumplings
D．noodles
【3】Which dish is chosen neither for its look nor for the pronunciation of its name?
A．Pigs trotters
B．Green beans
C．Dumplings
D．Rice cake
23、Here are some beautiful classic road-tripping routes in California.
Pacific Coast Highway (PCH)
There are wonderful options including dramatic sea cliffs, sun-soaked surfing towns, playful harbor seals and the Golden Gate Bridge. You’d better avoid driving here in the spring and summer months, when the central and northern coastline can be socked in by fog and the rainy season can lead to landslides. Instead, September and October will yield the sunniest skies and some of the best weather as you spend a week checking this beauty off your bucket list.
Highway 49 (Hwy 49)
That highway number is significant: It is in memory of the 49 people who came seeking for fortune in California’s original Gold Rush. Today the route winds through Gold Country towns such as Placerville and Nevada City, past ghostly Old West mines and Victorian buildings. Hwy 49 comes mighty close to Yosemite National Park (15 miles) and Lake Tahoe (75 miles), both of which are good places for family camping.
Route 66
Enjoy your trip on America’s “Mother Road”, which brought Dust Bowl refugees, Holly-wood starlets and hippies to California. Drive slowly from the desert to the Pacific Ocean, pulling up alongside retro relics, sleeping in a tipi hotel and fueling up in neon-lit diners. Avenue of the Giants
The incredible 32-mile road at Humboldt Redwoods State Park is canopied by the world’s tallest trees. It’s one of the most justifiably celebrated drives in California. The best time is in the morning when sunlight glints off dew-drenched ferns. Among the majestic (壮观的) woods along the Avenue, there is an interesting four-sided hearth, designed by renowned architect Julia Morgan. Walking trails wind through all the woods for proper tree-hugging.
【1】Why should we avoid driving on the PCH in spring and summer?
A．It is too hot.
B．It can be windy.
C．It may be dangerous.
D．It is too crowded.
【2】Which road is used to honour people looking for fortune in Gold Rush with its name?
A．Pacific Coast Highway.
B．Highway 49.
C．Route 66.
D．Avenue of the Giants.
【3】What is the purpose of the walking trails in the majestic woods?
A．To make people hug trees easily.
B．To attract more people to camp there.
C．To make visitors walk around randomly.
D．To help people plant trees more conveniently.
24、Pet lovers were very angry. Last May, a news article appeared online that said three states had passed laws limiting the number of pets each household could have to only two. The news spread quickly, as many people shared the article on Facebook and other social media sites. But pet owners had nothing to worry about — the article was made-up.
Many fake (假的) news articles are harmless, but others might have played a role in real-world events. When it comes to online news, even adults can have a hard time separating fact from fiction. Education experts say kids should start learning how to tell the difference early on.
Of course, there are plenty of reputable websites you can visit to read the news. Well-known news organizations, such as The New York Times and the Associated Press, have their own sites. But many other online “news” sources aren’t always trustworthy. And many students have trouble spotting when articles aren’t entirely true or are trying to persuade them to think in a certain way.
Real news organizations can make mistakes, especially when they have to report quickly on breaking news stories. But they usually print corrections.
Why would someone purposely publish an article that isn’t true? The most common reason is to make money. Websites are paid by the companies that post ads on them. Companies want to place their ads on sites that get a lot of visitors. So people create fake news articles with attention-grabbing headlines to try to get users to click on them.
Some of the biggest websites are trying to stop the flow of fake news. Last November, Facebook and Google banned fake news sites from advertising on their pages. Facebook is also working with fact-checking organizations to identify and flag fake articles. But experts say the best way to slow the spread of fake news is for people to be more skeptical (怀疑的) of what they read online.

A．Popular.
B．Resourceful.

【3】What’s the main idea of the text?
A．People create fake news stories to make money.
B．The growing trend of fake news raises concerns.
C．It is necessary for kids to be able to spot fake news.
D．Most people can easily spot a fake news article.
【4】What is the best way to reduce the influence of fake news?
A．Printing corrections quickly.
B．Limiting the use of headlines.
C．Encouraging readers to be doubtful about what they read online.
D．Developing a system to identify and flag fake news.
