21、Amazon will let customers at some Whole Foods stores pay with a simple wave of their hands.
The company announced it is bringing palm scanners (掌纹扫描仪) to one of its Whole Foods stores in Seattle, with plans to roll out the new payment system to eight stores in the Seattle area in the coming months. Customers will hold their hands above the scanner for a contact-free payment method.
The scanners are already available (可用的) at one of those Seattle stores — its Madison Broadway location. Amazon plans to increase availability further after this first test run. “We’re always looking for new ways to improve the shopping experience for our customers,” said Arun Rajan, chief technology officer at Whole Foods.
To make use of the new service, customers will give Whole Foods their bank card information to make a connection with their palm print. They can choose to use a different payment method, such as cash, check or other bank cards, in later visits.
Amazon has already tried the system, which it calls Amazon One, at some of its own stores in Seattle, including Amazon Go and Amazon Go Grocery, which have allowed customers to pick the things they want and then leave the store without checking out, as sensors (传感器) and cameras track their purchases.
That checkout-free technology has been criticized (批评) as a way to avoid the need for workers.
Whole Foods said this new palm scanner will not have any effect on employment in the stores where it is offered.
“Amazon One is an additional payment choice at checkout, and Whole Foods Market Team Members will continue to maintain all of their present responsibilities,” said the company’s statement.
【1】What will happen in the next few months?
A．Amazon will open more Whole Foods stores.
B．Whole Foods stores in Seattle will have a sale.
C．A new payment method will be promoted worldwide.
D．More palm scanners will be used in Whole Foods stores.
【2】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．How to use the service.
B．Why to use the service.
C．When to use the service.
D．Whether to use the service.
【3】What does the underlined part “their purchases” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A．Services they got.
B．Challenges they faced.
C．Tools they used.
D．Things they bought.
【4】What will Whole Foods Market Team Members do?
A．Ask for more pay.
B．Enjoy their free time.
C．Continue their services.
D．Serve major customers.
22、Ladies, low self-esteem can negatively affect your mental health. No one is perfect. Knowing your strengths and weaknesses can help you lead a more confident life.【1】
Stop Comparing Yourself
In order to improve your self-confidence, you must first accept yourself for who you are.【2】, whether that be by their job, their physical appearance or their social status. If you’re unhappy with the way you look or feel, you have the power to do something about it. If you’re feeling bored with your look, https://www.bustle.com/articles/140442-13-easy-ways-to-change-up-your-hair-if-you-want-to-freshen-up-your-lookexperiment with a new hair style.
Forgive and Forget
【3】, is one of the best ways to relieve unnecessary stress and tension from your life. Resentment, along with bitterness, can create a relentless cycle of anger and negativity. You can’t change what has already happened, but you can learn from it and move forward.
Focus On Your Hobbies and Interests
Remaining focused on activities that you enjoy can help to keep your mind off of your stress and give you a sense of accomplishment. Studies have shown that exercisehttps://www.livestrong.com/article/438937-how-does-exercise-affect-your-self-esteem/ has a positive impact on self-esteem. If running or lifting weights isn’t your thing, painting and knitting are also great methods to reduce stress in order to improve self-esteem.
【4】
Most importantly, never shy away from who you are. Many people choose to be followers and align themselves with what’s popular and trendy at the time.【5】. Whether it’s the music you listen to, the clothes you choose to wear or even the skin care products you use, don’t let others influence the decisions you make.
A．Here are some ways for you
B．Be A Leader, Not a Follower
C．Learn to forgive others, and you will be happy
D．You cannot compare your life to someone else’s
E．Focusing on your hobbies and interests is beneficial
F．Forgiving yourself, and those who have wronged you

23、There is no best way to learn a language, because everyone learns slightly differently. 【1】. And placing a heavier weight on them in an educational program may help a student to succeed. Here are some popular ones that have proven to be beneficial.
Many language teachers agree that Immersion(沉浸)is an excellent way to learn a language. 【2】. Students must use the language outside of class as well as in it and will learn more about the culture in which the language is spoken. Moreover, students benefit from taking brief intensive learning in their native country before traveling to an immersion program or language school in a foreign country.
【3】. Books, tapes, and guidance materials are readily available. These materials can be limiting, however, because they lack a classroom environment, which offers practice and well-structured criticism to help students improve. However, a self-teaching program can prepare a student for a trip overseas by polishing his or her language skills needed.
【4】. By being forced to use the language to communicate needs, people can pick up the basics surprisingly quickly. If a student wants to use this technique to learn a language, he or she should plan on staying in the nation where the language is spoken for several months. 【5】. Students may want to think about seeking employment while they are learning to earn some fees.
A．However, some methods appear to be more effective than others.
B．This type of language learning can get expensive.
C．Students can also learn a language through conventional classes.
D．Some students are able to learn a language through self-teaching.
E．The intensive learning establishes a foundation for the student to build upon as he or she learns.
F．Immersion programs in the country where the language is spoken are especially valuable.
G．It is also possible to acquire a new language by being exposed to an environment in which it is spoken.
24、Most of us have an unclear memory of learning about the Pythagorean Theorem (勾股定理) many years ago in math class.
If you’re anything like us writer-types, that 2,000-year-old theorem went in one ear, and immediately out the other! But for two students at St. Mary’s Academy in New Orleans, Louisiana, the theorem presented a challenge they simply couldn’t resist taking on. As a reminder for those of us who aren’t potential mathematicians, the Pythagorean Theorem is the basis of trigonometry (三角学). For over 2,000 years, math scholars have stated it’s impossible to use trigonometry to prove the Pythagorean Theorem because doing so would be circular logic. In other words, an idea cannot prove itself.
Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson have challenged that concept in their new abstract. The two high school seniors recently presented their abstract in front of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) at their annual southeastern conference. Unsurprisingly, they were the only teenagers there in a sea of math scholars! Their abstract states, “We present a new proof of the Pythagorean Theorem which is based on a fundamental result in trigonometry.” In plain English, that means Calcea and Ne’Kiya proved the theorem using trigonometry after all, and without using circular reasoning.
How did a pair of teenagers solve a riddle that has stumped so many mathematicians before them? Countless math scholars can do nothing facing this theorem. According to Calcea and Ne’Kiya, they have their teachers to thank!
The St. Mary’s school slogan is “No Excellence Without Hard Labor”, and they mean it! Both girls say their teachers push them to think outside the box and encourage them to discover new concepts. “We have really great teachers,” Ne’Kiya said with a smile. Calcea is proud of herself and her friend for doing something no other high school students have ever done.
【1】What does the author think of the Pythagorean Theorem in paragraph 2?
A．It has too short a history.
B．It’s unattractive to writers.
C．It’s too academic to understand.
D．It needs to be proved once more.
【2】What did Calcea and Ne’Kiya do about the theorem in front of the AMS?
A．They proved it using trigonometry.
B．They showed it was based on trigonometry.
C．They said circular reasoning couldn’t prove it.
D．They introduced a kind of theory similar to it.
【3】What does the underlined word “stumped” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Helped.
B．Excited.
C．Puzzled.
D．Changed.
【4】What do Calcea and Ne’Kiya’s teachers ask them to do?
A．Think creatively.
B．Act independently.
C．Study curiously.
D．Live thankfully.
25、The true purpose of a business, Peter Drucker said, is to create and keep customers. “Customer value” has several definitions. I use the ______ to mean the total lifetime value of a company’s customer base. Companies can increase this value by ______ more customers, earning more business from existing ones, keeping them longer, making their experience simpler through digital improvements and so on. ______ leaders have long understood the importance of concentrating on customer value rather than pursuing short-term profits or quarterly earnings, and they’ve become enduring customer loyalty leaders in the process. It’s worth noting that a number of loyalty-leading companies are able to ______ shareholder pressure, or avoid it altogether, because they are founder-led, customer-owned, or not publicly traded.
Companies can ______ customer value in a variety of ways: To increase ______, enterprise software companies sometimes charge corporate customers change fees that can raise the total cost of ownership to as much as three times the original price. To reduce operating costs, restaurant chains sometimes ______ frozen and precooked ingredients in place of fresh and made-to-order food. The resulting profits may look good on the income statement. Such strategies may even lead to short-term earnings growth. But they also ______ potential customers and encourage disloyalty.
Given the importance of customer value, leaders should track it as much as they track other key assets (资产), such as buildings, machinery, and marketable securities. They also should reveal it in their quarterly and annual earnings releases so that investors can make ______ judgments about company performance and how it compares with that of industry peers. But most companies ________believe that measuring customer value is too difficult or costly. They continue to rely on a centuries-old accounting tradition that emphasizes physical and financial assets, and neither income statements nor balance sheets offer much ______ into the value of a company’s customers.
As investors wake up to the importance of customer value, however, many growth-stage companies now direct investors’ attention to ______ in growing the value of their customer base. Some public companies increasingly report various types of customer value metrics (指标). One of the UK’s top energy suppliers E.ON, ______, reports year-over-year customer counts in its financial report. “As a customer-focused company,” E.ON noted, “we see customer value as crucial to our success.”
This is a start, but because there are no customer-value reporting standards or requirements, investors still have a(n) ______ picture. The minority of companies that do provide customer value information decide for themselves what to disclose. ______, firms may calculate customer metrics differently or change them to tell a desired story, or simply stop reporting them if they fail to go with the company’s preferred narrative.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.
We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Uncle Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens. while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze (吃草). I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.
In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don’t be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost!” “OK!” my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks , the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven (编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.
