21、 It’s July. You’re in a boat gliding through calm water off the Finnish coast, on your way to visit a sauna (桑拿), pick berries, and sleep in a tent. At your side is a “happiness guide,” one of a small group of Finns employed by a national tourism agency to teach international visitors something about why the Scandinavian country ranks at the top of a report ranking nations on happiness.
“One of the uniquely Finnish experiences which contributes to our well-being is our special relationship with nature, especially our forests,” says Hetta Huittinen, a spokesperson for Business Finland, which started Rent A Finn, a new contest that will bring travelers to Finland this summer for a free trip with a Finnish guide.
In Finnish law, the public has the right to wander; in natural areas, even on privately owned land, it’s legal for anyone to make temporary use of the land. You’re allowed to go anywhere and pick berries and mushrooms or whatever you find there, or even stay overnight in a tent without asking permission. Most Finns also spend long time outside in the summer as they rent or borrow cottages in the countryside; the law requires a minimum of five weeks of annual leave.
“People actually are both happier and healthier when they see trees, when they’re walking to work,” said John Helliwell, one of the authors of the World Happiness Report, adding that the slow pace of walking and connecting with others also has a benefit. When I first tried to contact someone for this article, he couldn’t talk because he was headed to the sauna.
It might be difficult for visitors to collect much wisdom from a two-or three-day trip, but Business Finland hopes that the winners chosen to travel will learn something by diving into nature with a Finn.
【1】The author gives a vivid picture of Finland in paragraph 1 to ________.
A. show the Finns are the happiest
B. enjoy the scenery of Finland
C. advise people to live in Finland
D. prove Finns are friendly to visitors
【2】Which of the following is true of Rent A Finn?
A. It focuses on the protection of nature.
B. Guided tours are provided with no cost.
C. Travelers can rent a guide for a small charge.
D. It allows travelers to go anywhere by themselves.
【3】What can people do according to Finnish law?
A. Use the land permanently.
B. Stay in a tent with permission.
C. Enter the others’ cottages freely.
D. Have at least five weeks off each year.
【4】Where is the text most likely from?
A. A textbook. B. A diary.
C. A report. D. A guidebook.
22、 Valentine’s Day is named after Saint Valentine, an early Christian churchman who helped young lovers. Valentine was killed for his Christian beliefs on February 14 more than 1,700 years ago, but the day that has his name is even earlier than that.
More than 2,000 years ago, the ancient Romans celebrated a holiday for lovers. As part of the celebration, girls wrote their names on pieces of paper and put them in a large container. Boys reached into the container and pulled one out. The girl whose name was written on the paper became his lover or sweetheart for a year. Today, lovers still put their names on pieces of paper and they send each other Valentine’s Day cards that tell of their love. Sometimes they also send gifts, like flowers or chocolate candy. Americans usually send these gifts and cards through the mail system. But some used another way to send this message. They have it printed in a newspaper. The cost is usually a few dollars. Some of the messages are simple and short, “Jane, I love you very much.” Others say more. This one, for example, “Roses are red. Violets are blue. I hope you love me as much as I love you. Forever, Mary.”
Most of the newspapers that print such messages are local, but USA Today is sold throughout the United States and 90 other countries as well. This means someone can send a Valentine message to a lover in a far-away city or town almost anywhere in the world. These messages cost 80 dollars and more. An employee of USA Today says readers can have a small heart or rose printed along with their messages this year. Will this kind of Valentine’s Day message reach the one you love? Well, just make sure he or she reads the newspaper.
【1】Which time period did Saint Valentine live in?
A. More than 1,700 years ago.
B. More than 2,000 years ago.
C. More than 3,700 years ago.
D. More than 300 years ago.
【2】According to Para. 2, which of the following is not part of celebration on Valentine’s Day?
A. Lovers put their names on pieces of paper.
B. Lovers send each other cards that tell of their love.
C. Lovers talk about their love stories on TV programs.
D. Lovers send gifts and cards through the mail system.
【3】What is the cost of printing a message in USA Today to show one’s love?
A. For free.
B. A few dollars.
C. Less than 80 dollars.
D. 80 dollars and more.
【4】What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the origin of Valentine’s day and its modern style.
B. To advertise for the newspaper—USA Today.
C. To tell you that Americans are open to express their love.
D. To call on all the lovers to remember Saint Valentine forever.
23、Throughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how they’ll change America. Rightly so, but selfishly, I’m more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the world’s attention. And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see.
Usually, the lives of black women go largely unexamined. The prevailing theory seems to be that we’re all hot-tempered single mothers who can’t keep a man. Even in the world of make-believe, black women still can’t escape the stereotype of being eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic (酗酒的) mothers.
These images have helped define the way all women are viewed, including Michelle Obama. Before she ever gets the chance to commit to a cause, charity or foundation as First Lady, her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simple to be herself.
It won’t be easy. Because few mainstream publications have done in-depth features on regular African-American women, little is known about who we are, what we think and what we face on a regular basis. For better or worse, Michelle will represent us all.
Just as she will have her critics, she will also have millions of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. Many African-American blogs have written about what they’d like to see Michelle bring to the White House—mainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. Michelle will have to work to please everyone—an impossible task. But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise (沉着), confidence and intelligence will go a long way in changing an image that’s been around for far too long.
【1】Why does Michelle Obama hold a strong fascination for the author?
A. She serves as a role model for African women.
B. She possesses many admirable qualities becoming a First Lady.
C. She will present to the world a new image of African-American women.
D. She will pay closer attention to the interests of African-American women.
【2】What is the common stereotype of African-American women according to the author?
A. They are victims of violence.
B. They are of an inferior violence.
C. They use quite a lot of body language.
D. They live on charity and social welfare.
【3】What do many African-Americans write about in their blogs?
A. Whether Michelle can live up to the high expectations of her fans.
B. How Michelle should behave as a public figure.
C. How proud they are to have a black woman in the White House.
D. What Michelle should do as wife and mother in the White House.
【4】What does the author say about Michelle Obama as a First Lady?
A. However many fans she has, she should remain modest.
B. She shouldn’t disappoint the African-American community.
C. However hard she tries, she can’t expect to please everybody.
D. She will give priority to African-American women’s concerns.
【5】What do many African-American women hope Michelle Obama will do?
A. Help change the prevailing view about black women.
B. Help her husband in the task of changing America.
C. Outshine previous First Lady.
D. Fully display her fine qualities.
24、In recent years computer scientists have come up with several different ways of creating false videos of people using Artificial Intelligence (AI). These videos are usually called “deepfakes”. Some deepfakes work by putting the face of one person onto a different person in a video. Others work by taking an existing video of a person and changing it so that the person says or does something they didn't say or do.
At first, creating deepfakes was complex. It required special knowledge, hundreds of pictures of the person who was being faked, and lots of time. Now it's much simpler. There are websites and apps that allow almost anyone to create deepfakes. An app recently came out which allowed users to put their faces into famous movie scenes. The process lakes about eight seconds, requires one picture, and can be done on a mobile phone. One group of computer scientists created a program that allowed them to edit the words conning out of someone's mouth in a video just like you might edit a document on the computer.
It's one thing to swap the faces of famous actors. But what happens if someone puts out a fake video of a politician, for example, making it look like they broke the law? There's also the problem of the time it takes to figure out that something is fake. Even if a video is proven to be fake, it could be too late. Millions of people might have already seen and believed it. On the other hand, what happens if a video is actually real, but people don't trust it because they're told it's a deepfake?
Many deepfakes are so good that only another AI system can tell that they're fake. Experts are working hard to create new AI tools that can identify faked videos. Many people are confident that people can defeat deepfakes soon. However, personally, it is very challenging because this technology has always fallen behind the deepfakes.
【1】What can be learnt about deepfakes?
A．They are all made by apps.
B．They are improving rapidly.
C．They are mainly used to joke.
D．They'll lose popularity soon.
【2】What does paragraph 3 focus on about deepfakes?
A．The anxieties raised by them.
B．The results caused by them.
C．The ways of making them.
D．The doubts about them.
【3】What is the author's attitude to developing AI tools to recognize deepfakes?
A．Optimistic.
B．Supportive.
C．Disapproving.
D．Uncertain.
【4】What is the purpose of the text?
A．To recommend new AI tools.
B．To explain the importance of AL
C．To describe a technology trend.
D．To stress technology revolutions.
