21、Americans, especially the millennials (千禧一代), are always glued to their phones. A common day of an average university student in American starts off like this: an alarm clock wakes you up, which is quickly followed by checking social media such as Twitter and Facebook. Once in classes, you are again attracted by your buzzing phone and access to the Internet rather than pay attention to the lecturing professor. Then you have lunch with some friends, only to look up from your screen to realize that no one has said a word in five minutes and instead all are looking at their phones. Once the day ends, you can’t help checking all forms of social media again before finally being able to shut your eyes only to repeat this vicious cycle the next day.
Cyberbullying (网络霸凌), a concept unknown before, is now in fashion. Many of the millennials are using the Internet to make jokes about others to extremes. The Internet gives cowards bravery. People feel like their actions and words have no bad results because they cannot see the pain they cause others.
Millennials also tend to think that whatever information shows up on their screens must be taken as truth, whether the source is reliable (可靠的) or not.
Social media is not all bad, however. People are still able to use social media to connect with friends and family who live a great distance away. With a few clicks, someone could make another person smile, or give words of hope and encouragement to a friend in need, or even help repair a broken relationship. Cyberspace is a vortex that is easy to get caught up in, but we must find a balance to keep both feet in reality while travelling across the online world.
【1】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 infer?
A．You can’t break away from your phone.
B．You decide to get rid of this bad behaviour.
C．You return to going cyberbullying the following day.
D．You are caught in the busy life.
【2】What can be learned about the millennials?
A．They often mistake facts for personal opinions.
B．They prefer to communicate face to face.
C．They become brave and reliable.
D．They don’t often make their own judgement.
【3】Which way of using social media is accepted by the author?
A．Being glued to the phones all the time.
B．Promoting relationships.
C．Losing themselves in the online world.
D．Fighting against others.
【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To state the ill effects of social media.
B．To prove the benefits of social media.
C．To suggest using the social media wisely.
D．To introduce the functions of phones.
22、Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.
Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.
Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.
Exploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin –offs of space exploration. The technical improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems have long been in effect.
While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.
【1】What might be the key to those questions mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A．Humans’ nature.
B．Knowledge.
C．Civilization.
D．Potential dangers.
【2】Which of the following can best replace “spin-offs” underlined in paragraph 4?
A．Applications.
B．Shortcomings.
C．Advantages.
D．Gains.
【3】In which situation may this text be applied properly?
A．A private conversation.
B．A class presentation.
C．A cartoon picture.
D．A fashion review.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．How Knowledge Benefits Us
B．What Humans Spread for
C．Why to Explore Space
D．How Humans Save Ourselves
23、 Many students dream of becoming an architect because it is such a popular job. I talked to American architect Suzanne Johnson Crocker to find out more about the advantages and disadvantages of choosing architecture as a career.
Q1: Why did you choose architecture as a career?
A: When I was young, I knew I wanted a job that was challenging and would allow me to keep learning. I considered chemical research, but I found myself bored by its limited range. I met a friend in college who studied architecture, and I was excited to learn how architecture combines art, math, and science. Whether working on historic structures or new projects, to me architecture is limitless, difficult, and rewarding.
Q2: What are the best subjects to study at school if you want to be an architect?
A: The education of an architect centers on the studio, where communicating ideas is key. Communication includes drawing; writing, speaking, discussing, and model making. To support their work in the studio, students must study a variety of different subjects, including both general classes and architectural classes. I was very lucky to have spent four years in liberal arts (文科) and science before studying architecture. This means that I am able to draw on a wide range of learning experiences.
Q3: Do you have any advice for someone that wants to be an architect?
A: Keep your eyes on the goal. When I was at university, we joked that studying architecture was harder than military training! We had long hours, tough assignments, and difficult exams. You will go through a lot of difficult times when you are studying to be an architect, but remember to enjoy life and take time out for hobbies and sports.

24、A new analysis by researchers at MIT has found that inactive yeast (非活性酵母) can help remove lead pollution from drinking water supplies. The study shows that this approach works well, even for part-per-billion levels of pollution. The team has calculated that waste yeast abandoned by a single brewery (啤酒厂) in Boston would be enough to treat the city’s entire water supply. The system would not only purify the water but also change what would otherwise be some waste needing to be got rid of.
Lead and other heavy metals in water are a serious global problem that continues to grow. In the U.S. alone, more than 12,000 miles of waterways are suffering the effect of wastewater rich in heavy metals. What’s worse, heavy metals don’t break down, but continuously exist and accumulate. They are either impossible or very expensive to completely remove by conventional methods. Lead is highly poisonous, even at tiny concentrations, especially affecting children as they grow.“We don’t just need to minimize the existence of lead; we need to remove it from drinking water,” says one of the researchers called Stathatou.
The solution found by the MIT team is not a new one. A process called biosorption, in which inactive biological material is used to remove heavy metals from water, has been known for a few decades. But the process has been studied and characterized only at much higher concentrations, at the levels of more than one part per million.“Our study demonstrates that the process can indeed work efficiently at the much lower concentrations of typical real-world water supplies,” another researcher named Athanasiou says.
Designing a practical system for processing the water and getting back the yeast, which could then be separated from the lead for reuse, is the next stage of the team’s research. They are also exploring ways of recovering both the yeast and the lead, “We need to conduct further experiments, but there is the option to get both back. And it will be a blessing for the world.” Stathatou says.
【1】What’s the feature of the new approach for removing lead pollution from drinking water?
A．It is costly but worthwhile.
B．It is economical and efficient.
C．It has higher technical requirements.
D．It has been questioned by many experts.
【2】What is the purpose of Paragraph 2?
A．To state the necessity of removing heavy metals.
B．To arouse people’s awareness of self-protection.
C．To stress on the difficulty of removing heavy metals. .
D．To introduce the feature of heavy metals.
【3】What can we know about the process of biosorption from the text?
A．It can determine the stability of water supply systems.
B．It tests the inactive substances in water supplies.
C．It can measure the make-up of heavy metals in water supplies.
D．It focuses on removing heavy metals at higher concentrations from water.
【4】What does Stathatou think of their future research?
A．Amusing.
B．Worrying.
C．Beneficial.
D．Adventurous.
