21、 When it comes to helping developing countries, we often think about offering money in order that they can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives. However, it's far from enough. We have to come up with better ideas.
A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which he decided to invent after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is not the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be covered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily. As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle in order that children can wind the computer up to give it extra power just as easy as setting a clock.
This special laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr. Negroponte wants to produce as many as 15 million laptop computers in the first year. The idea is that these computers will help the children’s education as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not benefit the people in developing countries immediately, but by improving children’s education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.
Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again in the UK and probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste crested by throwing away these old phones is very bad for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others, in other words, we will be able to “kill two birds with one stone” and that is always a good thing.
【1】The underlined phrase “wind up” in paragraph 2 means .
A.吹风 B.给……上紧发条 C.拆开 D.带走
【2】The laptop computer that Mr. Negroponte has designed .
A.will be damaged much easier than the normal one
B.has a special handle to access the Internet
C.is cheap and can run with extra power
D.can be helpful to find the people’s own solutions
【3】Mr. Negroponte’s cheap computer is mentioned in the passage to .
A.illustrate the kindness of people in the developed countries
B.tell us what high technology can help people
C.show how to find business opportunities in developing countries
D.give an example of how to help developing countries
【4】Which is the best idea the author gives us to help the developing countries?
A.We need to think about more ways to help people in developing countries，not just throw money at the problem.
B.We should spend much money helping people in developing countries build more schools and hospitals.
C.We should think about giving help to developing countries by giving them all we have.
D.We should help the people in developing countries by improving children's education immediately.
22、By now, we are all aware that social media has had a powerful influence on our culture, in business, on the world at large. Social media websites revolutionized the way people communicate and socialize on the Web. However, besides seeing your friends' new baby on Facebook, or reading about Justin Bieber's latest conflict with the law on Twitter, what are some of the real influences?
Social networks offer the opportunity for people to reconnect with their old friends and acquaintances, make new friends, share ideas and pictures, and many other activities. Users can keep pace with the latest global and local developments, and take part in campaigns and activities of their choice. Professionals use social media sites like Linkedln to improve their career and business development. Students can work together with their peers to improve their academic and communication skills.
Unfortunately, there are a few downsides too to social networking. If you are not careful, immoral people can target you for cyber bullying(网络欺凌) and disturbance on social sites. School children, young girls, and women can fall victim to online attacks which can create tension and suffering. If you are a victim of cyber bullying, do not take it lying down, but try to take appropriate legal action against the attacker.
Many companies have blocked social networks as addicted employees can distract (分心)themselves on such sites, instead of focusing on work. In fact, studies show that British companies have lost billions of dollars per year in productivity because of social media addiction among employees.
Also, what you carelessly post on the Net can come back to trouble you. Leaking personal information on social sites can make users easily harmed to crimes like identity theft, stalking(尾随犯罪), etc. Many companies perform a background check on the Web before hiring an employee. If a potential employee has posted something embarrassing on social media, it can greatly affect their chances of getting the job. The same holds true for our relationships too, as our loved ones and friends may get to know if we post something undesirable on social networks.
Social media has its advantages and drawbacks as each coin has two sides. It is up to each user to use social sites wisely to improve their professional and social life, and exercise caution to ensure they do not fall victim to online dangers.
【1】Paragraph 2 mainly shows that social networks .
A．benefit users in various ways

A．take legal action against the attackers
B．avoid posting embarrassing information
C．refuse to hire potential addicted employees
D．forbid the use of social networks during work time
【3】The main purpose of this passage is to .
A．remind people to wisely use social media
B．provide some advice on social problems
C．raise public awareness of social problems
D．share experiences in using social media
【4】Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?
I: Introduction P : Point Sp : Sub - point (次要点 ) C : Conclusion

24、Researchers at Brigham found about one in five teenagers now have some degree of hearing damage. The researchers did not say why hearing loss has risen, but other experts have strong suspicions. One likely culprit, they say, is MP3 players.
An MP3 player can be dangerous to hearing when its decibel level is turned up too high. High-decibel sounds can damage nerve endings, called hair cells. If a sound is loud enough, the damage can be permanent. A loud sound can shake the membrane (薄膜) on which the hair cells sit-“like an earthquake”. That shake can break or even uproot hair cells. When that happens, the hair cells are finished. Human ears cannot regrow hair cells. Therefore, when listening to an MP3 player, set a volume limit and avoid exposure to loud sounds.
On the other hand, the loudness of today’s music may not be totally under your control. Music companies have been purposely turning up the volume. It’s a trend called the fight for loudness.
Play a CD from the 1990s. Then play a newly released tune. Don’t touch the volume control. You’ll probably notice that the new CD sounds louder than the old one. Why? Sound engineers who create CDs are using dynamic range compression (压缩), a technology that makes the quiet parts of a song louder and the loud parts quieter. The overall effect of compression is a louder recording.
Many musicians and sound engineers aren’t pleased. They say that compression is driving down the quality of today’s music, making it sound flat and blaring. Gray Hobish, a sound engineer, explains that music should be a combination of loudness and softness. But music companies want to make music louder so it will stand out. That’s important in the competition among recording companies.
What about listeners? Many teenagers listen to music on the go in noisy places and through headphones, all of which reduce sound quality. So young listeners may not notice the poorer quality of modem recordings. “To their ears,” says Hobish, “the music sounds fine. And they are not aware of the hidden threat of the music they are enjoying.”
【1】The phrase “like an earthquake” in Para. 2 aims to explain ________.
A. that volume can strongly affect parts of the ear
B. how our body is unable to regrow hair cells
C. how much damage the ear can avoid
D. that hair cells are easily damaged
【2】What can we learn about today’s music business?
A. New technology improves the quality of music.
B. Young listeners today prefer louder sound.
C. Music companies sacrifice quality for loudness.
D. Sound engineers face tough competition.
【3】What is probably the best title for the passage?
A. The Loudness War
B. Your Hearing Is Going!
C. The Damaged Ears
D. Are You a Good Listener?
