22、Every March, the US celebrates the accomplishments of women in American history. Even though these accomplishments go back a long way, most schools didn’t start focusing on women pioneers and their achievements until recently. Today, most colleges offer classes in women’s history and most schools teach kids about the many contributions women have made to the country. How did this change come about?
On March 19, 1911, a German woman named Clara Zetkin organized the very first International Women’s Day. Inspired by American working women, the annual event took on the causes of peace to end World War I as well as gain women’s rights. Over the years, interest in International Women’s Day decreased. It gained development again in the 1960s? when the women’s movement caused women to wonder why they weren’t included in the history books. By the 1970s, more female historians began to look back at the contributions of women in history. In 1978, a California school district started Women’s History Week to promote the teaching of women’s history. School officials picked the week of March 8 to include International Women’s Day. It was so popular that, in 1981, Congress passed a resolution making the week a celebration for the entire country. The concept of studying women’s history continued to grow in popularity. In 1987, a group of women, supported by people working in museums, schools and libraries, asked Congress to expand the celebration. That same year, Congress declared the entire month of March National Women’s History Month.
Today, schools and communities across the country celebrate the month with special lessons and activities designed to teach the ways women have helped shape the US. The women who have worked hard to make Women’s History Month a reality would like to see women’s history studied all year, not just every March. In 1996, the National Women’s History Museum was founded. It is a non-profit organization devoted to preserving and celebrating the various historic contributions of women. The organization is working with Congress to open a permanent museum site in Washington, D.C.

23、Record-breaking. Abnormal. Dangerous. That’s how the National Weather Service described the heat wave hitting much of North America.
The heat wave has already broken all-time high temperature records in places unaccustomed to such extreme heat. For example, Oregon’s capital city, Salem, recorded the highest temperature in its history on Sunday: 130F, breaking the old mark by 4 degrees. The temperature hit 104F in Seattle. It was an all-time record for the city better known for rain than heat and was the first time the area reached such a high temperature since records began being kept in 1894.
Weather forecasters said the heat wave was caused by an extended “heat dome”which allowed hot air from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic to stream northward over much of North America.
This current heat wave was yet more evidence of the impact of human-caused climate change. “When it comes to record-breaking heat events, the study has been run for event after event in region after region in year after year. And the answer is almost always the same,” said Kristie Ebi, a professor at the University of Washington “The days-long heat wave is a taste of the future as climate change reshapes global weather patterns.”
“Another aspect that we see connected to climate change but that we don’t hear about as much is the fact that there is also a lot more water in the atmosphere now. As we warm the oceans and warm the air, there is more evaporation（蒸发）and that wetter air makes us feel hotter,” added weather forecaster, Jennifer Francis. “A combination of high temperature and moisture（湿度）in the air means dangerous conditions for the young, elderly or others who are not healthy. Please drink plenty of water; stay out of the sun and in air-conditioned rooms.”
【1】What was the previous temperature record in Salem?
A．104F.
B．126F.
C．130F.
D．134F.
【2】What is the root cause of the present heat wave in North America?
A．The climate change.
B．The northward air streams.
C．The extended "heat dome".
D．The moisture in the atmosphere.
【3】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．The Dangerous Heat Wave Will Last Long
B．A Heat Wave Roasts Much of North America
C．Measures Must Be Taken to Protect the Young and Elderly
D．The "Heat Dome" Is Expected to Cover the Pacific Northwest
【4】Where can the text be found?
A．In a first aid guidebook.
B．In a weather forecast.
C．In a news report.
D．In a professor's lecture.
24、Humans are social animals. They live in groups all over the world. As these groups of people live apart from other groups, over the years and centuries they develop their own habits and ideas, which are different from other cultures. One important particular side of every culture is how its people deal with time.
Time is not very important in nonindustrial (非工业的) societies. The Nuer people of East Africa, for example, do not even have a word TIME that is in agreement with the abstract thing we call time. The daily lives of the people of such nonindustrial societies are likely to be patterned around their physical needs and natural events rather than around a time schedule (时间表) based on the clock. They cook and eat when they are hungry and sleep when the sun goes down. They plant crops during the growing seasons and harvest them when the crops are ripe. They measure time not by a clock or calendar, but by saying that an event takes place before or after some other event. Frequently such a society measures days in terms of “sleeps” or longer periods in terms of “moons”. Some cultures, such as the Eskimos of Greenland measure seasons according to the migration of certain animals.
Some cultures which do not have a written language or keep written records have developed interesting ways of “telling time”. For example, when several Australian aborigines want to plan an event for a future time, one of them places a stone on a cliff or in a tree. Each day the angle of the sun changes slightly. In a few days, the rays of the sun strike the stone in a certain way. When this happens, the people see that the agreed-upon time has arrived and the event can take place.
In contrast (成对比), exactly correct measurement of time is very important in modern, industrialized societies.
This is because industrialized societies require the helpful efforts of many people in order to work. For a factory to work efficiently (well, quickly and without waste), for example, all of the workers must work at the same time. Therefore, they must know what time to start work in the morning and what time they may go home in the afternoon. Passengers must know the exact time that an airplane will arrive or depart. Students and teachers need to know when a class starts and ends. Stores must open on time in order to serve their customers. Complicated (复杂的) societies need clocks and calendars. Thus, we can see that if each person worked according to his or her own schedule, a complicated society could hardly work at all.
【1】By saying “Humans are social animals”, the author means ________.
A．they live all over the world
B．they are different from other animals
C．they live in one area as a whole
D．they are divided into many groups
【2】Time is not very important in nonindustrial societies because people in those societies ________.
A．don’t have the word TIME in their languages
B．don’t get used to using clocks and other timepieces
C．don’t measure time in their daily-lives around an exact time schedule
D．don’t need to plan their daily lives around an exact time schedule
【3】The Australian aborigines’ way of “telling time” is based on ________.
A．the change of the angle of the sun
B．the change of the weather
C．the position of the stone
D．the position of the tree or the cliff
【4】Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?
A．Time and Culture
B．The Measurement of Time
C．Time Schedule and Daily Life
D．Clock, Calendar and Society
25、Everyone has a phone in their pocket nowadays, but how often do we really use them for their original purpose — to make a call? Telephone culture is _______. What brought us to this moment, and what are its _______?
“No one picks up the phone anymore,” wrote Alex C. Madrigal on The Atlantic. “The reflex (习惯性动作) of _______— built so deeply into people who grew up in 20th-century telephonic culture — is gone.”
The shift is of course due in large part to more _______ options: Texting with photos, videos, emojis, links and even voice messages can be a more _______ option.
Texting is light and fun, not nearly as demanding of your attention as a phone call. It can also be done with _______ people at the same time. Social media, email and video calls have also _______ traditional phone calls.
In recent years, another reason has caused people to _______ phone calls completely: robocalls. Robocalls are automated (自动化的) messages from organizations verifying (核实) your phone number or telemarketers trying to _______ something. Americans received 22.8 billion robocalls halfway through 2020, ________ an annual rate of 45.6 billion, according to YouMail, a robocall protection service and blocking app.
As telephone culture disappears, what is the loss of a singular family phone doing to the family unit? Early landline phones unite family members, whereas mobile phones ________ them.
“The ________ family phone served as an anchor (给以安全感的物品) for home,” said Luke Fernandez, a Weber State University computer-science professor and co-author of Bored, Lonely, Angry, Stupid: Feelings About Technology, From the Telegraph to Twitter. With smartphones, “we have gained ________ and privacy. But the value of the home has declined, as has its ________ to guide and monitor family behavior and perhaps bind families more closely together,” Fernandez said.
Of course, as technology progresses, lives always change for better or for worse. With the loss of telephone culture, families will need to find other ways to ________.
