21、Follow the Fashion---a New Age of the MacBook Pro
The new flagship laptops called the MacBook Pro from Apple, available in 13-and 15-inch screen sizes, are thinner(0.6 inches), lighter(3 or 4 pounds), and faster than ever before. The speakers are more powerful and sound great. Battery life is 8 to 10 hours, somewhat less than that of previous models.
Besides, they’re not becoming gradually narrower like the MacBook Air, but they’re thinner than the Air was at its thickest part.
That’s right, “was”. The existing MacBook Air will remain available for a while, but there won’t be any more model. Listed in the following are some other appealing features of the new MacBook Pro models.
Screen
The MacBook Pro screen is a masterpiece. It’s so bright; it could light up a runway. It’s a Retina screen, which is something MacBook Air fans have waited for forever. The color is very impressive. You will loves this screen.
Trackpad(轨迹板)
The trackpad is huge, twice as large as the previous offering. It makes a difference when, for example, you’re painting in Photoshop.
Keyboard
All of the new MacBook Pro models share in using a second-generation butterfly mechanism keyboard like what’s found on the 12-inch MacBook. The keys are very flat and don’t travel much at all, which can actually enable you to fly when typing.

23、 During his youth, Albrecht Durer apprenticed with his father, who was a goldsmith, and also with a local painter. But he showed a remarkable talent for printmaking, which at the same time was the main method of illustrating books. This art form involved carving an image into a block of wood, inking the wood and then pressing it against paper or cloth. Durer’s skillful carving and printing resulted in beautiful prints. His decision to become a print-maker rather than a goldsmith disappointed his father but benefited Durer throughout his adult life.
From time to time, deadly diseases broke out in Durer’s hometown of Nuremburg, Germany. This danger was one reason why Durer decided to leave Nuremberg twice to visit Italy. He was also fascinated by Italy’s Renaissance culture. While there, he absorbed Italian philosophy, science and artistic techniques. He also served as official court artist to two Holy Roman Emperors.
Durer was extremely diligent regarding the details of his artwork as evidenced in his nature pieces. These include Young Hare, which correctly captures the energy of a hare even while it is sitting still, and Rhinoceros which was so correct that it was included in scientific documents for years.
The same attention to details can be seen in Durer’s early self-portrait. The first one that he made at age 13 shows a young boy with childish features. A second self-portrait that he made at age 22 displays a more mature individual who has a greater sense of himself. In a self-portrait done at age 26, he is a finely dressed gentleman, reflecting his rise in status within the printmaking community.
【1】What saddened one of Durer’s parents?
A.Durer’s lack of concentration.
B.Durer’s pride in his wealth.
C.Durer’s choice of profession.
D.Durer’s absences from home.
【2】What partly motivated Durer to leave Nuremburg twice?
A.He couldn’t find any work there.
B.He longed to live in the countryside.
C.He wasn’t able to settle his debt.
D.He wanted to protect his health.
【3】What do the self-portraits reveal about Durer?
A.His interest in technology.
B.His evolution as a person.
C.His strong love of travel.
D.His physical limitations.
24、What if your smartphone or laptop starts charging as soon as you walk in the door? Scientists have developed a specially-built room that can conduct energy to a variety of electronic devices within it without plugs or batteries.
It’s a custom test room of about 18 cubic meters, built from conductive aluminum(铝) panels with a metal pole running down the middle. When the scientists ran an electric current through the walls and pole following a set pattern, it generated two separate magnetic (磁的) fields: one that fills the center of the room and the other that covers the corners, thus allowing any devices within the space to charge.
By carrying out tests, scientists found their method could deliver 50 watts of power throughout the room. firing up all devices they tested. Without safeguards, running currents through the room's metal walls would typically fill it with two types of waves: electric and magnetic. This presents a problem, because electric fields can produce heat in biological tissues and pose a danger to humans. So the team built capacitors, devices that store electric energy, in the walls. “It limits the safe magnetic fields to the room volume while limiting risky parts to all the components built in the walls.” lead author Takuya Sasatani explains.
The scientists also tested the room’s safety, and the result showed the absorption of energy would remain well below acceptable limits. “We’re not saying this technology is safe under all circumstances—we’re still exploring,” says study co-author Alanson Sample. “But it shows us that there's still much area to explore.”
But applying the technology is still far in the future. It’s just too burdensome to put aluminum sheets all over the walls-that benefit doesn't make sense yet. “We’ve just developed a brand-new technique. Now we have to figure out how to make it practical,” Sample says. Meanwhile, scientists hope to improve the efficiency of power conduction and remove spots that the charge does not reach.
【1】What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.What the room looks like.
B.How electric currents are generated.
C.How the special room works.
D.What the technology was developed for.
【2】What are the capacitors used to do?
A.Produce electric power.
B.Measure magnetic field.
C.Stop devices from heating.
D.Protect people from harm.
【3】What is Sample’s attitude to the technology?
A.Optimistic.
B.Cautious.
C.Doubtful.
D.Content.
【4】What’s a barrier to the technology's application?
A.The cost.
B.The safety.
C.The effectiveness.
D.The material.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
What They Found Inside an Old Sofa Bought for $20 Was Life-Changing
In 2021, SUNY students Reese Werkhoven, Lara Russ, and Cally Guasti were living together in a small apartment. They decided to furnish their apartment.
The three had gone to a Salvation Army store to buy a sofa, and were forced to settle for an old, rather smelly specimen that none of them really liked, but was the only one that was affordable and would fit in their living room. That day, as they were testing out their new purchase, they noticed that something was making a crinkling noise inside the cushions (垫子). Upon further investigation, they discovered a few bubble-wrapped envelopes inside the sofa.
When they opened the envelopes, they were in shock. A large amount of cash was inside. As they continued to pick apart the piece of furniture, they discovered more and more money. Guasti said, “Just when we thought we pulled out the last envelope, we’d find another $1,000 a few minutes later.”
After some time, the three roommates had unearthed a good $40,000 in cash. The fantasies of what they could do with all this money started flowing immediately.
However, they were quickly brought back to reality when they saw that there was a woman’s name on one of the envelopes. That was when the moral dilemma started — what to do? Keep the money for themselves, or try to find the owner?
The three consulted their parents for advice, and the next day, Werkhoven got a call from his mom. She had tracked down the mystery woman and found a phone number.
注意:
