21、 The creator of the animated television series “SpongeBob SquarePants”, Stephen Hillenburg, has died aged 57. Hillenburg was a marine biology teacher in Southern California when he started creating sea creatures as teaching tools. Internet access was still a new thing when SpongeBob SquarePants started airing in May 1999. But now, the beloved animated series has become an essential part of the online world.The series went on to win multiple awards, produced a series of books, two Hollywood movies and a Broadway musical, and have continuously appealed to young children, their families and college students, which has turned into a global phenomenon. And SpongeBob SquarePants’s online reinvention has enabled the show to age along with its fans, who were likely children when the series were first introduced.
After his death, some on social media urged others to share their favourite SpongeBob emojis as a present in memory of the cartoonist and animator, who announced last year he had been diagnosed with ALS.
“Stephen filled SpongeBob SquarePants with a unique sense of humor and innocence that has brought joy to generations of kids and families everywhere,” the Nickelodeon statement said. “His totally original characters and the world of Bikini Bottom will long stand as a reminder of the value of optimism, friendship and the limitless power of imagination.”

22、 According to a sales report from askci.com on 2018’s Double Eleven, the national shopping day, women’s down garments(羽绒服)were among the top 10 hit products. 【1】It seems the strong warmth provided by down garments has been nationally approved. Especially during a fiercely cold winter, when you tremble in the wind, who cares about being stylish?【2】As living standards rise, more expensive garments filled with goose down instead of duck down, have appeared in the market. Goose or duck?
【3】First, the down from mature geese is larger and thicker, which makes garments filled with goose down much warmer. Second, goose down is more flexible than that of ducks. The last difference is key for people sensitive to smells: Compared to duck down, goose down has no strange smell. 【4】These are the advantages that account for the higher prices of garments made with goose down. However, duck down is still a good choice if you live in place where winter is windy, yet not that cold.
【5】

23、 Being able to take advantage of truly unlimited data is a smartphone user’s dream, but everyone I’ve talked to about 5G is more excited about the usage unlocked by next-generation wireless devices. From smart home security to self-driving cars, all the Internet-connected equipment in your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning-fast speed with reduced delay.
“5G is one of those forerunners, along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age.” said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. “Self-driving vehicles are emblematic in this data age — they show application of data completely. With one single task, driving, you have large amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors (传感器) are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves. It’s pulling in data from other vehicles about conditions down the road. There’s lots of data behind that task, which is why we need the speed and lower delay (延迟).
AR glasses and virtual (虚拟的) reality headphones haven’t yet been inside the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully saying that such equipment will eventually replace our smartphones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to improve — or even replace — smartphones.
Ericsson showed at February’s Mobile World Congress in 2019 how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on outside equipment for processing power.
But don’t get too excited. There’s still a lot of work to be done in the meantime, including some necessary testing to make sure the radio plays nicely with basic systems and service construction so that 5G isn’t only concentrated in big cities, but universally.
【1】What does the first paragraph focus on?
A.The potential of 5G. B.The super speed of 5G.
C.Usage of smart equipment. D.The future of smart equipment.
【2】Which word can replace “emblematic” underlined in paragraph 2?
A.available. B.productive. C.representative. D.popular.
【3】What is tech companies’ attitude towards the replacement of smartphones?
A.indifferent. B.Optimistic. C.Cautious. D.Disapproving.
【4】Why does much work still need to be done according to the last paragraph?
A.To make radio play nicely. B.To construct big 5G cities.
C.To do 5G trials effectively. D.To expand 5G coverage fully.
24、Henderson Island in the South Pacific Ocean has always been known for its remarkable biological diversity and untouched ecology. Now, the remote UNESCO World Heritage site that lies 3,100 miles from the closest human settlement can also lay claim to being one of the most polluted places on Earth.
Jennifer Lavers, a researcher from the University of Tasmania’s Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies who has been studying the island for a few years, says the tiny island is home to over 38 million pieces of waste.
The amount of waste is surprising given that the island, the largest of the group of four Pitcairn volcanic islands, has no residents and is visited by scientists only once or twice every decade. However, as it turns out, humans do not need to be physically present to pollute an area. In this case, the waste is brought in by the South Pacific Gyre, an ocean current that sends garbage moving through the sea to Henderson.
What’s even worse is that the unsightly rubbish scattered (分散)across the island’s sandy beaches is just the tip of the iceberg. According to the researchers, over 68% of the waste is buried under the sand. This means their estimates, based on the waste found up to 10 centimeters below the sand, may be underestimating the full extent of the pollution.
Besides being aesthetically(审美地) unpleasing, the waste is also harmful to the island’s wildlife. Lavers and study co-author Alexander Bond discovered sea turtles that come to the island to lay eggs caught inside fishing lines. The waste is also harmful to seabirds and fish that mistake the colorful plastic pieces for food.
Environmentalists like Boyan Slat, who founded The Ocean Cleanup in 2011 after discovering “more bags than fish” while diving in Greece, are trying to clean up the mess. However, their efforts will only make a difference if we all join them by avoiding plastic altogether or reusing and recycling.
Unless we find ways to change the situation, this ever increasing pollution will cause a serious risk to the health of our planet and all its residents, including humans.
【1】What do we know about Henderson Island?
A.There are no animals on it.
B.There are no people living on it.
C.It’s known for its various resources.
D.It’s the largest island in the South Pacific Ocean.
【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Humans presence caused most of the pollution on the island.
B.The volcanic eruption and the closest human settlement lead to the pollution.
C.Most of the rubbish is scattered across the island’s’ beaches.
D.An ocean current has carried the garbage to the island.
【3】What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?
A.The impact of sea waste.
B.The level of sea pollution.
C.How to deal with ocean trash.
D.How to protect the island’s wildlife.
【4】What is the purpose of the text?
A.To introduce famous volcanic island.
B.To praise environmentalists for their efforts.
C.To call on people to take action on pollution.
D.To explain the consequences of the South Pacific Gyre.
