21、 Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how.
1) Plan your time carefully. 【1】. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize everything that is happening to your time.
2) Find a good place to study. 【2】. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
3) Make good use of your time in class. 【3】. Really listening in class means that you don’t have to work too much later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
4) Study regularly. 【4】. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, reading that material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
5) 【5】. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember what you have just learned in class. The world won’t end if you don't pass a test, so don't be overly worried.
There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.
A．Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say.
B．Look around the house for a good study area.
C．When you get home from school, go over your notes.
D．Work hard at your subjects
E．When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do.
F．learn from other students when you meet some problems.
G．Develop a good attitude about tests.
22、 Spot lights are not just for rock concerts and Broadway shows. There are many ways to use them around your home's exterior as well. You can use them to add safety to a stairwell, prevent intruders from entering your home or show off your favorite rose hush 【1】 . Learning the advantages of this option will help you decide whether they are right for your home.
Solar spot lights are highly energy efficient. Since they are operated solely using power from the sun, they will save you money and help the environment over time. 【2】, so you do not need a large upfront investment prior to seeing savings once you are using them.
【3】. Since they do not require direct electricity, there is no wiring to worry about and typically, no special tools required. You can install them virtually anywhere, staking them into the ground, hanging them from the eaves of your home or even attaching them to siding, brick or trees in your yard.
Solar spot lights are very safe to use, as well. 【4】 when installing the lights. You can confidently place them near a swimming pool or other water source with no qualms, and you do not need to be concerned about wires being struck or cut when pets dig, children play or you spend time gardening in your yard.
【5】. You should wipe them regularly with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and dirt that build up over time. They do require batteries, but they generally last a year or longer, and you can always buy a set of rechargeable batteries to make your lights even more frugal (节 约的) and environmentally friendly.
A.Finally, they are easy to maintain
B.They are extremely easy to install
C.Lastly, they do not require direct electricity
D.Solar energy is a free, inexhaustible resource
E.Again, they need no wiring, so there is no risk of electrical shock
F.In addition, they are not particularly expensive to purchase either
G.If you should decide to use them, consider installing solar spot lights
23、Cycling to work on a dark morning last week, I was overtaken by a man in a black coat with no helmet, no lights, and listening to music through headphones. As he disappeared into a large bank, I wondered: what sort of banker does a man like him make? How can someone with such behaviors handle someone else’s money? He got me thinking about the things we reveal about ourselves when we are on two wheels.
I’ve always imagined that as a group, cyclists make relatively good employees. All of us are fit, have the way to be reliable and punctual. We are risk-takers and ever so slightly rebellious, which works quite well—especially in a job like journalism.
Only 10 minutes shows we aren’t a group at all. Some of us are fast, some slow. Some wear helmets, but some don’t. Some break all the rules, while some break none. If employers really want to know what their future employees are like, they should watch them ride a bike.
After the banker, I saw three other cyclists showing characteristics that may interest their HR departments. The first had his right trouser leg rolled up. Such wisdom in the absence of a clip (别针) impressed me so I’d hire him as a problem solver. The next was a man balancing on his bike at the lights—no one likes working with a show-off. And then there was a woman on a bike going through a red light forcing herself to step out of her way.
The two-wheel test also weeds out those who are not team players. The cyclist who is hostile to his own kind, and who squeezes past others on the inside is suitable only for working by himself.
To check my theory about the connection between personality and cycling style, I have just conducted a little control test. A reader had been offering for a while to take me for a ride on his tandems (双人自行车), and so last week I was forced to cycle as him. I definitely would have hired him. And yet I was terrified: to be on a hike without being me felt all wrong.
【1】According to the banker’s behaviour, the author .
A. got a lot of benefit from the banker
B. thought the banker was poor so he cycled to work
C. regarded the banker as a man good al handling money
D. reflected on the relation between personality and cycling
【2】What is NOT one of the personalities cyclists have according to the text?
A. Being good employers good at dealing with money.
B. Being fit and having the way to be reliable and punctual.
C. Being risk-takers and ever so slightly rebellious.
D. Working quite well as a journalist.
【3】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Cyclists belong to different working places.
B. Personalities vary from cyclist to cyclist.
C. Cyclists have nothing in common.
D. Some cyclists drive faster than others.
【4】Who is possibly interested in the author’s two-wheel theory?
A. The people working in the bank.
B. The students looking for a job.
C. The staff working in HR department.
D. The young man fond of riding a bike.
24、In the mid-nineteenth century, as iceboxes became increasingly common in American homes, there were efforts to find cheaper and more reliable sources of ice. In the eighteen-thirties, scientists discovered a way to make ice, which is similar to how a refrigerator works. In 1860, there were four artificial-ice plants in the United States; in 1889, there were about two hundred; by 1909, there were two thousand. Ice now came from factories, not ponds, and it was turned out in three-hundred-pound blocks by lowering steel cans of pure water into tanks of refrigerated salted water. Kept below thirty-two degrees, the salted water did not freeze, but the water in the cans did. Those cans were then lifted from the tank, and the ice was taken out of them.
The ice blocks were delivered to home users, and to the fishing and chemical industries. On the railroads, trains carrying fruit and vegetables had cars at each end filled with blocks of ice. It was a growing industry.
The great trade began to fall away in the middle years of the twentieth century. The railroad business shrank, and, in the immediate postwar period, block ice lost out to home refrigerators and then to small commercial ice machines. By the nineteen-sixties, things looked very dark. “It was scary,” Dan Ditmar, an ice expert in San Antonito, told me. “Your biggest customers were cafeterias and country clubs, and you’d go out there and they’d say, ‘We don’t need you anymore; we’ve got ice machines.’”
Then the companies that survived the slump（a slump is a period when there is a reduction in business）began investing（投资）in newly developed ice-cube machines, and by the late sixties American ice was becoming a packaged-ice business. And packaged ice was exactly what the country needed. These were years of increased leisure time—more barbecues, more cars, and more houses by the lake. “Things exploded in the nineteen-seventies,^ Paul Handler said. Ice cubes evolved. They became hugely popular^ shoveled（铲）here and there into picnic coolers and fast-foof sodas. They became noisier.
【1】What happened at the beginning of the 20th century?
A. Ice was mainly used on the railroads.
B. There was a great need for iceboxes.
C. Ice cubes got popular in the US.
D. The ice industry grew very last,
【2】What was scary according to Dan Detmar?
A. The slump in the block-ice market.
B. The danger of producing block ice.
C. The social problems in the postwar period
D. The problems caused by home refrigerators.
【3】What can we say about the investment in ice-cube machines?
A. It nearly destroyed the US ice industry.
B. It helped increase people’s leisure time.
C. It proved to be a huge success.
D. It caused a decline in ice sales.
【4】Which can be the best title for the text?
A. From ponds to factories. B. From ice blocks to ice cubes,
C. From iceboxes to refrigerators. D. From refrigerators to ice machines.
25、Launched in 2010, iQiyi has grown used to the foreign press calling it “the Netflix of China.” Not the worst nickname, given the video-streaming pioneer's success. But Gong Yu, iQiyi's founder and boss, insists that his firm is more accurately _________ as “Netflix plus.” A bold claim for a loss-making business worth one-fifteenth as much as America's (cash-generating) entertainment powerhouse with a market value of $214 bn. Still, Mr Gong has a_________.
Like Netflix, iQiyi offers customers a catalogue of licensed and original content. Unlike Netflix, which relies almost entirely on subscription fees, iQiyi has _________ revenue streams. “Membership fees,” which start from 19.8 yuan ($2.87) a month, _______ just over half of iQiyi's 7.4 bn yuan in revenues in the second quarter. The rest came mainly from an online store (which sells “entertainment-related merchandise), mobile-gaming, an e-book business and advertisements: iQiyi operates a “freemium” model which allows users to stream some content free of charge _________ that they agree to watch ads.
Conveniently for iQiyi, which does little business outside its home market, Netflix is blocked in China, under laws that _________ a lot of foreign content. But that is not to say that China is free from the streaming wars of the sort between Netflix and rivals like Disney, HBO and NBC Universal.
Far from it. Mr Gong is _________ Tencent Video, which overtook iQiyi at the end of June with 114m video subscribers to iQiyi's 105m (see chart) . Mr Gong's firm lost 14m subscribers in the most recent quarter while Tencent Video, which also runs a freemium model and_________subscribers 20 yuan a month, added Zin. Tencent Video offers a richer selection of English-language _________, including hit television series like Chernobyl and Silicon Valley. More important, the rivalry between Tencent Video and iQiyi is the war between mighty Tencent and ____________ Baidu, a search firm that is iQiyi's majority owner.
____________, as Westerners who pay for a few video subscriptions can prove, streaming is not a zero-sum game. Gigi Zhou of BOCOM International, a broker, believes the Chinese market will soon be big enough to ____________ both iQiyi and Tencent Video, which also has yet to make money. Ms Zhou expects 400m Chinese to subscribe to video-streaming platforms by 2023, up from some 300m in 2019. So long as no new rival ____________, each firm could capture around 150m, helping them spread costs over more subscribers and so turn a profit.
Before streaming peace can break out, iQiyi faces another fight. On August 13th it said it was under ____________ by America's Securities and Exchange Commission after a short-seller accused it of cooking sales data, a charge it ____________. If found guilty, it may have to delist from New York's Nasdaq exchange. The firm's stable share price implies that investors' faith in battle-hardened Mr Gong remains unshaken.
