21、Do you want to celebrate your birthday in space? It would be very different from what you might do on earth. For example, your birthday cake would be flying. The candles could not be lit because astronauts can not start a fire in the spaceship. 【1】 Voices are almost the only things that are not changed by being weightless, which means that everything has almost no weight in space.
Some astronauts feel sick for the first few days in space. Some feel as if they have a cold all the time. That’s because without gravity(引力), the fluids(液体) in their bodies move towards their heads. Their faces look a little fatter. 【2】.
And because gravity is not pressing on the spine(脊椎). The spine relaxes and stretches(舒展). 【3】 But when they come back on earth, they turn to their regular height.
Since nothing has weight, astronauts can lift(举起) heavy objects easily. 【4】 However, it is harder to stay still in space than to move around, so the astronauts always hold onto something or tie themselves to something. 【5】
A．For the same reason, their waists(腰围)get smaller.
B．They can even lift each other.
C．There are pieces of Velcro to stick things in order to keep them from floating(漂浮) around.
D．Your friends could still sing Happy Birthday to You.
E．Astronauts grow one or two inches(英寸)in space.
F．In space, bone and muscles get weaker.
22、Reading a book in English is one of the best ways to study the language. Sure, it can be pretty difficult at the beginning. 【1】.
Pick books that aren’t too hard
As a high school student who likes love stories, you might want to start with Jane Eyre. But it probably won’t go well! 【2】. While this might not sound too exciting, we are sure that there are a lot of good children’s books that you would love to read.
【3】
It can be very helpful if you already have an idea of what’s going on in a book. Knowing the story can guide you along as you try to understand the new words.
If you don’t feel like re-reading, there are other ways to make the foreign language reading experience a little easier. Cartoon books, for example, are useful because the pictures can help you understand the text. Anything that can guide you along in your reading is important!
Keep a dictionary by your side
When we say dictionary, we mean a physical dictionary. Yes, you could use Baidu Translate for everything, but that quick satisfaction isn’t going to help with learning that much. 【4】. This is a lot slower, but it will be much more rewarding.
Read the book aloud
You might not have read a book aloud since primary school. But it can be a useful way to learn a foreign language. This will give you a chance to slow down and better understand the language. 【5】. After all, reading is just an eyes-only activity, and so finding more ways to use the other senses will broaden your learning ability.
A．Instead, you should buy a new dictionary
B．Learning a foreign language can be difficult
C．Instead, you can start with some children’s books
D．In addition, it adds to your pronunciation practice
E．Instead, look up the new words in an actual dictionary
F．Choose a book with a lot of pictures or you already know
G．Here are some tips to make the reading easier and more fun
23、 At university, when I told people I was studying for a history degree, the response was almost always the same, “You want to be a teacher?” No, a journalist. “Oh. But you’re not majoring in communications?”
In the days when a university education was a privilege, perhaps there wasn’t the assumption that a degree had to be a springboard directly into a career. Those days are long gone. Today, a degree is all but a necessity for the job market, one that more than halves your chances of being unemployed. Still, that alone is no guarantee of a job—and yet we’re paying more and more for one.
Given those costs, most of us want to maximize that investment — and that can lead to a plug-and-play type of approach to higher education. Want to be a journalist? Study journalism, we’re told. A lawyer? Pursue pre-law. Not totally sure? Go into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineer and Maths) — you can become an engineer or an IT expert. And no matter what you do, forget the humanities, such as history, philosophy and languages.
It’s true that the humanities come with a higher risk of unemployment, but the risk is slighter than you would imagine. For young people in the U.S. , the unemployment rate of those with humanities degrees is four percent, just a little more than that of engineering degree holders. Lower salaries may not be caused by the degree itself either. The gender pay gap persists in the humanities, whose graduates are more likely to be female. Is it any wonder then that language teachers tend to make less than engineers?
According to LinkedIn’s research on the most sought-after job skills by employers for 2019, the ability to communicate and get along with people, to understand what’s on other people’s minds, and to do full-strength critical analysis were all valued and appreciated. It goes without saying that you can be an excellent communicator and critical thinker without a humanities degree. And any good university education, not just one in English or psychology, should sharpen these abilities further. But few courses of study are quite as heavy on reading, writing, speaking and critical thinking as the humanities — whether that’s by debating other students in a seminar, writing a thesis paper or analyzing poetry.
The whole question of whether a student should choose STEM versus the humanities might be misguided to begin with. The headlines most of us see don’t help. Whatever a student pursues in university, it must be something that they are not only good at, but interested in. Even if it means pursuing a “useless” degree — like one in humanities.
【1】Why are people paying more and more for a degree?
A．Because people need a degree to further their career.
B．Because university education is considered a privilege.
C．Because a degree is viewed as a must for landing a job.
D．Because their interest can be developed in university.
【2】The author mentioned a plug-and-play type of approach to show ________.
A．a tip for choosing a major
B．the importance of higher education
C．a problem that exists among STEM graduates
D．the reason why people overlook the humanities
【3】According to the author, what is the benefit of majoring in humanities?
A．A comparatively high salary after graduation.
B．Better chances of getting rid of gender prejudice.
C．A better communicative skill than science students.
D．More exposure to the training of language and thinking.
【4】What is the author's attitude towards the pursuit of humanities?
A．Doubtful.
B．Optimistic.
C．Objective.
D．Concerned.
24、 Horrible imaginary themes in stories like Ready Player One. a science fiction film, represent the struggle between facing the real world and embracing a comforting illusion(幻觉). Some characters don't know that they're trapped in an artificial dream, while others knowingly choose fancy over reality.
In our digital age, this danger doesn't just exist in fiction. Whether we realize it or not, we're all becoming trapped in “filter bubbles” invisible mental cages built from our prejudices and desire for comfort.
We create this trap by doing things like exposing ourselves to politically-biased (偏见的) news and entertainment or surrounding ourselves with like-minded friends, Digital algorithms(算法)enhance our problem by learning what we like and filling our social media with opinion-confirming content. The result is a personalized daily environment that filters out contrary points of view.
We become fooled into believing that our opinions about complex issues are unquestionable. Meanwhile, the filter bubbles of those who disagree with us deceive them in the same way. This twisted view of reality weakens our thinking, damages our relationships and divides our societies. How can two people have a respectful open-minded discussion when they both believe that only a stupid or dishonest person would disagree with them?
Media algorithms are deepening our tendency to self-isolate by strengthening the false idea that our opinions are obviously true and moral. The internet is making us less like a global village and more like a sea of mental islands drifting further and further apart.
To get along with family, friends and fellow citizens, we must pop our filter bubbles. We can do this by developing meaningful relationships with people who think differently than us. This lets us experience the reality that people who believe “bad” things can be just as good and as intelligent as we are. We can also receive balanced information by consuming news and entertainment from different media.
Determining right from wrong is complicated. Living outside of our filter bubbles is less comfortable and takes effort, but the personal relational and societal benefits are rich.
【1】What phenomenon does “filter bubbles” refer to according to the passage?
A．Horrible imaginary themes in stories.
B．Being trapped in a science fiction film.
C．Embracing the real world and illusion.
D．Being blind to other different opinions.
【2】According to the author, what's one way leading to the problem discussed in the passage?
A．Digital algorithms predict what people like and provide plenty of contrary points of view.
B．People prefer to consume media that confirms their opinions and avoid opposite viewpoints.
C．The respectful open-minded people and like-minded ones believe each other stupid.
D．Media algorithms and the internet tend to produce a true, moral and virtual world.
【3】What's the solution provided by the author to the problem mentioned?
A．To make friends with different kinds of people with different viewpoints.
B．To balance the information by consuming news or entertainment by themselves.
C．To appeal to the media companies to change the way they provide media.
D．To put the responsibility on individual consumers to make choices about the media.
【4】The best title for the passage is ________.
A．Stupid Prejudices
B．Digital Algorithms
C．Filter Bubbles
D．Digital Media
