21、Solving the mystery of the Loch Ness Monster would be considered as a good deed, right? On that basis, a webcam has been set up overlooking the lake. Anyone can tune in at any time. If you see something suspicious(可疑的), you simply click the “snapshot” buttons to submit a picture for further analysis. It is free, easy, and you can do it for as little or as long as you like, with no login or signup required. What you are doing is micro–volunteering, which offers volunteers a series of easy tasks that can be done anytime, anywhere, on their own terms.
Micro-volunteering could involve anything from retweeting a message to joining a flash mob(快闪). Volunteers do not need to go through an application or training process, or to make any ongoing commitment. The vast majority of micro-volunteering takes place online, but it doesn’t have to. Weeding a garden in a local community center counts just as much.
The key benefit of micro-volunteering is its flexibility. People frequently cite their lack of time as the biggest barrier to volunteering. For many, micro-volunteering removes the need to worry about making long-term commitments once they start volunteering. It enables people who might be excluded from traditional ways of volunteering to participate.
To some extent, micro-volunteering is an approach that aims to help lots of people come together to make a difference. It could take a while to see its impacts. Studies, however, have shown that 65 percent of those who have micro volunteered were still actively doing so one year later. Even though micro-volunteering cannot replace long-term commitments, it serves as a complement(补充)to the more traditional methods of contributing to good causes.
【1】Why is the Loch Ness Monster mentioned in paragraph 1?
A．To illustrate micro–volunteering.
B．To get more volunteers involved.
C．To offer a solution to the mystery.
D．To post a micro-volunteering task.
【2】What does micro-volunteering feature?
A．It’s free of commitment.
B．It’s flexible, time-wise.
C．It’s only available online.
D．It needs systematical training.
【3】Which can best explain the underlined “be excluded from” in paragraph 3?
A．Be used to.
B．Be distracted by.
C．Be discouraged from.
D．Be interested in.
【4】What does the writer think of micro-volunteering according to the last paragraph?
A．Quick-impact.
B．Widely-recognized.
C．Irreplaceable.
D．Sustainable.
22、The word "orange" describes both a color and a fruit. Which one came first might be surprising. "Orange" when used as the name of the fruit came before "orange" as a word to describe color. While the shade itself existed before the fruit, there was not a name in the English language for the color. Before the introduction of the fruit to English-speaking countries, the color was usually described as a shade of red or yellow.
In the early 16th century, Portuguese traders brought oranges from India to Europe. The Europeans had not seen the bright colored fruit before and didn't have a name for it. The fruits were named "narancia" by Italians and "narange" by the French and were sometimes referred to as "golden apples" by English speakers.
"Orange" was first used in a phrase to describe shades of colors, including in a third-century Greek text translated into English, in 1576. It describes Alexander the Great's servants as dressed in "orange colour velvet （天鹅绒）In 1578, a Latin-American dictionary defined "melites" as "a precious stone of orange color”. While orange represents the color of the objects, it needed the word "color" to follow it in order for the meaning to be clear. In the mid-1590s, Shakespeare described a beard as "orange tawny", one of the first instances of "orange" without the word "color" as part of the expression. Tawny is a brown color often used on its own. Orange was not yet a color, just a shade of brown.
In 1616, in an account describing varieties of tulips （郁金香）that can be grown, orange was used as a stand-alone color. When Isaac Newton performed his experiments on the color spectrum （色谱），he listed it as one of the seven basic colors. After almost half a century, orange was recognized as a color on its own.
【1】Which is the right time order of the appearance of "orange"?
A．As a fruit→as a color→the shade itself.
B．The shade itself→as a color→as a fruit.
C．The shade itself→as a fruit→as a color.
D．As a color→the shade itself→as a fruit.
【2】What were oranges called by the British in the early 1500s?
A．Melites.
B．Narange.
C．NaranciA.
D．Golden apples.
【3】Which of the following would be the right usage of "orange" in the 16th century?
A．My ball is a melite.
B．The ball is orange colour.
C．The orange ball is beautiful.
D．I have an orange ball.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．How to plant oranges
B．The spread of oranges
C．Orange used as a color
D．Shakespeare and oranges
23、 In recent years we’ve been told to aim to walk 10,000 steps a day to remain healthy, although other advice to do three brisk (轻快的) 10-minute walks a day is thought to be even more effective. But the latest piece of research might put a spring in your step if you’re someone who walks at a fast pace. That’s because, according to scientists, the speed at which people walk in their 40s is a sign of how much their brains, as well as their bodies, are ageing.
The BBC’s Philippa Roxby writes that tests on 1,000 people from New Zealand born in the 1970s found that slower walkers tended to show signs of “accelerated (加速) ageing”. Their lungs, teeth and immune systems were in worse shape than those who walked faster. And to add insult to injury (往伤口撒盐), the study found not only did slower walkers' bodies age more quickly, their faces looked older and they had smaller brains.
This might be seen as a wake-up call for people with a slower pace who might feel it’s time to work out and get fitter. But it might be too late; researchers writing in JAMA Network Open say they were able to predict the walking speed of 45-year-olds using the results of intelligence, language and motor skills tests from when they were aged three. They also suggest that even in early life, there are signs showing which people will go on to have a healthier life.
So, what’s the point of knowing that a slower walking pace might mean a smaller brain? Well, researchers say measuring walking speed at a younger age, and understanding what this might mean, could be a way of testing treatments to slow human ageing. This might help us make lifestyle changes while we’re still young and healthy. Any steps we can take to prolong (延长) a good mental and physical state is a no-brainer!
【1】Where is the text probably taken from?
A．A guide book.
B．A book review.

D．An advertisement.
【2】According to the studies, which of the following is true?
A．Those walking fast tend to have worse teeth.
B．Slow walker may have smaller brains and older faces.
C．Intelligence can be used to predict a person’s life style.
D．It is never too late to start walking fast to become healthier.
【3】Which can be the best title for the text?
A．Study on Slow Walkers
B．Healthy Life or Nothing
C．Walking Speed and Ageing
D．Benefits of Walking Slowly
24、 Having a great collection of books at home doesn’t really mean that you are a person who loves reading. It may be got from your father or your father’s father, and it can just impress people around you with the fact that you are a person of culture.
From my point of view, reading is very important in our daily life. For example, reading is a way of gaining knowledge in different areas. It can help us have a great imagination, and it makes things easier when it comes to making compositions on different themes. It gives you the possibility to speak about science, even if you don’t work in this field. You can express your opinions about a political event because you have read something about that.
Secondly, reading gives us the possibility to enter the world of imagination. We can imagine what life will be like in the future. Sometimes, we compare ourselves with the people in the stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve the problems and tell us what to do in certain situations. Books are based on real life. Even if writers are considered to be somehow different from common people, they often face the same problems as we all do.
In short, I would like to say that literature is the perfect way of enriching our culture, expressing correctly, having a rich vocabulary, being able to understand different fields and really being considered to be a learned person.
【1】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?
A.Reading a lot is good for writing
B.Reading can help us gain knowledge
C.Reading can help us have a great imagination
D.Reading helps us enter the field of politics easily
【2】We can learn from the third paragraph that ____ .
A.people in stories are always unbelievable
B.books may help us solve problems
C.writers are good at dealing with problems in life
D.writers often have different experiences in life
【3】What can be the best title for the text?
A.Why Is Reading Important in Our Life
B.How Can We Become a Learned Person
C.Different Reading, Different Functions
D.Having a Good Collection of Books Means a Lot
25、What is real success? I am sure many would come up with answers like lots of money, a big house, a new car, and so on.
It has been interesting to see how my own idea of success has through the years. When I was young, I was eagerly reaching for material success. I chose my jobs accordingly and ended up in . Sure enough, I did earn some pretty good pay checks.
But then a different feeling started to . I began to realize selling was not what I wanted to do all my life. After all I was often forced to sell products that did not really suit customers. All that matters is the amount of money that is made. I became very unhappy.
I came to realize that even with big pay checks I did not feel successful. That is when my search for success turned inwards, I sales and chose another profession–helping people. The feeling of relief and belonging was great–and suddenly I felt successful again. Even though I earned than before, I was much more content.
Then I returned to my old love–writing.
I realized I felt most successful when I loved what I did never the money. Then for my own I define success by the feeling of contentment.
Always remember–you are not here to anyone else’s life but your own. It is not your obligation (义务) to please others with your life – only yourself, because only if you are happy yourself can you happiness to others. You cannot give what you do not have.
So be true to yourself and your own joyful path to your own of success.
