21、This time, it is to be worn on wrists. Having already changed the way we communicate with its smartphones, Apple Inc released its next big thing on March 9 in San Francisco, US.
The Apple Watch, according to CNN, is “a simple rectangular (矩形的) shape with a range of stylish and useful wristbands.” “The style is classic... in those respects (方面) it’s up there with the top quality Swiss watches,” commented the news outlet.
The watch will be available in nine places, including the US, the UK and China, from April 24. The starting price is $349 (2,186 yuan).
With six different designs and 30 or so wristbands, the gadget “sets the standard for smartwatches, in style,” agreed The Brisbane Times,“but more importantly, in functionality (功能性).” “With the built-in speaker and microphone, you can receive calls on your watch. I have been wanting to do this since I was 5 years old,” said Apple’s chief executive Tim Cook.
In fact, anything you can do on the iPhone is there on the watch – e-mails, text messages, airline boarding services, and directions from Apple Maps. Using a home security app, you can keep an eye on your home from afar, or even open a locked door.
There are some features that have made Cook sure the watch is “our most personal device yet; a new chapter in the way we relate to technology”. According to NPR, the watch taps you on the wrist to draw your attention to a message or a calendar reminder, and it can send a tap on the wrist to another Apple Watch wearer.
However, the watch can also do things that are just plain fun. You can send a real-time display of your heartbeat to another Apple Watch to “let someone know you are thinking about them.”
Patrick Moorhead, a leading technology analyst in the US, described the tech company as “a master in the art of persuasion”. “The secret weapon is the ability to message each other by tapping on the watch,” he told The Associated Press. “I think people, particularly kids, are going to go nuts (疯狂) over that.”
So far, though, the most impressive part of this new device is “the monitoring of the wearer’s health and fitness,” said AFP. It will even tap you on the wrist if you have been sitting down for longer than is good for your health.
【1】Which of the following features of the Apple Watch are mentioned in the article?
a. its price
b. its functions
c. its shortcomings
d. its shape and weight
e. when and where people can buy it
A. abd
B. abe
C. bce
D. bde
【2】Which of the following words best describes Tim Cook’s attitude toward the Apple Watch?
A. Proud.
B. Modest.
C. Serious.
D. Cautious.
【3】How does the Apple Watch let wearers know there is a new message?
A. The watch beeps.
B. The watch sends out music.
C. The watch changes its screen color.
D. The watch taps the wearer on the wrist.
【4】With an Apple Watch, you can ______.
A. monitor your health and diagnose yourself
B. send a real-time display of your heartbeat to an iPhone
C. be reminded to move around if you’ve been sitting down for too long

22、Writing a school paper may not be that easy for every student, especially to those who struggle with organizing their thoughts on paper. Follow some of these simple yet tried and tested ways on how to properly write a school paper.
【1】 Not every high school teacher follows the same rules and standards of writing as each will most likely have his own set of directions. Do not hesitate to ask your teacher for any matter that needs to be explained. 【2】
Do not limit yourself to boring and unoriginal topics for a school paper. Teachers will usually give out just one topic for a school paper. This topic will usually cover large areas of interests. Students will be given a chance to be critical and creative at the same time. Make sure that you take advantage of this by thinking about a really unique topic. 【3】 If you have trouble thinking of what to write, then by all means brainstorm with your classmates.
【4】 Once you are sure what to write about, start checking materials that can be included in your school paper. If you have to, then collect relevant resources. Just do not forget to take note of all of your resources as these will be your proof (证据) if your teacher requires it later.
Always start by writing a clear outline (提纲). An outline would be your best bet in making your school paper as organized as possible. 【5】
A．Follow the latest edition of the writing.
B．Have a full introduction for your paper.
C．Research your choice of the topic completely.
D．You can do this either during class or in the office.
E．Make sure that you have understood all of the teacher’s directions.
F．You’d better make one before jumping into the careful writing process.
G．So your school paper will stand out from the rest of your classmates’ works.
23、Dryland ecosystems cover about 40% of land on earth and support more than 2 billion people, and, once degraded, they are difficult to restore. One technique for restoring dryland ecosystems with native plants — direct seeding — is promising, but has many disadvantages.
“In degraded drylands only around 10% of directly sown seeds actually establish themselves,” says Frederick Dadzie, PhD candidate at UNSW. “And given that native seeds are expensive and often in low supply, this is full of problems.”
Since one of the potential issues of degraded drylands is an absence of native microorganisms(微生物)in the soil, the research team acquired native microorganisms from undisturbed sites and grew them. They then introduced them to soil that contained the seeds of native plants and planted them in degraded drylands.
They found that microorganisms were very beneficial for getting the plants established. especially at the earlier stages when the seeds were growing to seedlings(树苗). After that, the relationship was less clear.
“That microorganisms improve germination(发芽)in degraded habitats is good news for ecosystem restoration," says Mr. Dadzie. “And what’s better: this is a simple, two-step process that can be applied to restoring dryland ecosystems. First, combining the seeds and soil into pellets(小球), and second, providing those pellets with the microorganisms.”
“Not only are drylands valuable as food bowls for vast numbers of people, but they also provide other services,” says Mr. Dadzie. “Due to the vastness of drylands, they have the highest potential to absorb atmospheric carbon and therefore contribute substantially to climate change.”
While this study was conducted at a field site, the seedlings were provided with both shade and water. In the future, similar experiments should be repeated but under more naturalized conditions with environmentally determined sun and rain.
【1】What does the underlined word “degraded” in Paragraph I mean?
A．Changed.
B．Improved.
C．Worsened.
D．Simplified.
【2】What does Mr. Dadzie think of using native microorganisms to restore dryland ecosystems?
A．It is simple and promising.
B．It is costly but practical.
C．It is challenging but effective.
D．It is unproven and questionable.
【3】What can we learn about the study?
A．Its method is out of date.
B．It was conducted in the laboratory.
C．Further study in naturalized conditions is necessary.
D．One type of native plant was involved in the whole process.
【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．The solution to climate change lies in drylands
B．Microorganisms are the key to ecosystem restoration
C．Scientists have improved the direct seeding technique
D．Local microorganisms help native seeds take root in drylands
24、Do you know the proverb “no pain, no gain”? It gives the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study. It seems that the only way to know if we’ re putting in enough work is how much hardship we bear. We are totally taken up with study, shutting ourselves away for a big exam. Is that necessarily true?
When we haven’t taken the time to come up with another idea, we just shut ourselves in a room with a book. It’s no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult. Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that interest us, rather than make us switch off. Shutting ourselves away can make us learn to hate studying, leading to a situation where, instead of being able to concentrate on our work, we are troubled by how unfair it is that we must study. This can be part of a vicious cycle (恶性循环) that traps us into ineffective revision, or poor progress fueling further annoyance.
Thankfully, working in the company of other people really helps fight against that. We just need to learn how to deal with distractions(使人分心的事). It’s not necessary to avoid all company, just lazy company. They constantly try to keep others in conversation, while studying in the same room with someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible. Of course, it’s also a good idea to avoid the company of people involved in activities where you would rather be playing than studying. Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is most likely to end with a new high score of games rather than productive revision.
If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a psychological barrier, so that people think twice before interrupting you. Besides, we should know friends and family can lessen feelings of isolation. And connecting with other people makes us happy, so it’s important not to give that up and to make sure that we take the time to socialize.
【1】What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A．To introduce effective studying means.
B．To encourage us to work as hard as possible.
C．To remind us to balance activities and study.
D．To discuss the importance of family company.
【2】What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A．Good ideas are needed in terms of progress.
B．Ways that interest us can lead to effective revision.
C．Shutting ourselves away can help concentrate on work.
D．With study techniques, revision is interesting and easy for certain.
【3】What does the last sentence in Paragraph 3 imply?
A．One should learn from certain activities that interest him.
B．Playing video games is helpful for effective study.
C．One shouldn’t study with the company of a video game player.
D．The more time one spends in playing games, the higher test scores one will get.
【4】What should you do if you are studying in a noisy environment?
A．Give up others company at once.
B．Think twice before taking any action.
C．Give indication of not wanting to be interrupted.
D．Force yourself to be accustomed to the environment.
