21、Modern inventions have speeded up people’s loves amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boats (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.
All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind on another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientist; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.
However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.
There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestor faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.
【1】The new products become more and more time-saving because ________.
A. our love of speed seems never-ending

D. the manufactures boast a lot

A. Imaginary life.
B. Simple life in the past.

【3】What is the author’s attitude towards the modern technology?
A. Critical B. Objective.
C. Optimistic. D. Negative.
【4】What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The present and past times.
B. Machinery and human beings.
C. Imaginations and inventions.

23、If you’ve ever driven a car on an icy road in wintertime, you know that it can be very dangerous. Driving on an icy road is much more dangerous than driving on a dry road.【1】
When you drive a car on an icy road where there is less friction (摩擦力), it’s more difficult to keep control of the car. So, it’s important to know how to stop the car from going out of control. Many drivers will try to stop the car by stepping down hard on the brakes (刹车). This is a bad thing to do because stopping the wheels quickly will make the car slide even further and faster.【2】.
【3】If you take your foot off the gas pedal (油门), the car will slow down immediately, but it won’t add power to the direction of the slide.
Next, touch the brakes very lightly and then let go. Touch the brakes again lightly and then let go.【4】.This method of slowing down will allow you to slow the car down without adding power to the slide.
Third, while you’re pumping the brakes gently, turn the steering wheel (方向盘) in the same direction as the slide.【5】.By doing this, you’ll make the car straight again. You have to keep turning the wheel gently until the car becomes straight, or parallel to the road.
By following these three steps, you should be able to keep control of your car if it should happen to slide.
A.First, lift your foot from the gas pedal
B.The reason is that there is less friction on an icy road
C.Here’s the best way to handle the car if it starts to slide
D.This repeated action is called “pumping the brake slightly”
E.So obviously, stepping down on the brakes is a bad thing to do
F.The engine of the car gives power to the back wheels of the car
G.For example, if the back of the car slides right, turn the steering wheel right
24、 Would you drink water that had once been washed down a toilet after it’s been cleaned? Think about it! The climate is warming and fresh water is falling short. So recycling wastewater into drinking water may become a necessity.
However, “People are disgusted (使厌恶,使作呕) by recycled water, because it was once wastewater, the water that goes down your showers or your toilets. And even though it’s cleaned up to a standard that is the same if not better than commercially bottled water, the key barrier to accept it is people’s disgust regarding it.” Riverside psychologist Daniel Harmon said.
In a recent set of experiments, Harmon and his colleague Mary Gauvain learned how difficult it can be for people to get over their disgust at the thought of drinking recycled water. Harmon said, “Our study was aimed at investigating whether commercials, or these pro-environmental messages actually work. That is, whether they can get people to accept recycled water and consume recycled water.”
In one experiment, the researchers had some participants watch a short video promoting water conservation. And in another experiment, they added a video explaining why recycled water might result in disgust, even though all pollutants have been cleared away. And neither video had a strong effect on people’s willingness to drink recycled water or to sign a document supporting the practice. In fact, watching the video that directly explained recycled water’s disgusting factor was no more persuasive than the water conservation video alone. Perhaps because reason or logic doesn’t work at all. Harmon thought, “Disgust is such a powerful reaction that simply giving more information is not going to be effective because disgust is not really a reasonable response.”
Harmon said it’s probably going to take a lot more to get people to accept recycled water. For example, it might help to see members of their community drinking water that’s gone, as it’s called, from “toilet to tap”, with no ill effects.
【1】What does wastewater refer to in Paragraph 2?
A.Water once used in showers.
B.Water polluted by industrial waste.
C.Water used to wash down streets.
D.Water causing diseases to spread widely.
【2】What’s the purpose of Harmon’s survey?
A.To check if commercials are reliable.
B.To prove pro-environmental messages do matter.
C.To investigate if people know about waste water.
D.To see whether recycled water will be accepted.
【3】What can we know about “disgust” according to Harmon?
A.It is an unreasonable reaction.
B.There is no persuasive evidence about it.
C.It needs more logic and reasons to overcome it.
D.It is caused by pollutants in recycled water.
【4】Where is the text probably from?
A.A biology textbook. B.A travel brochure.
C.A scientific magazine. D.A medicine magazine.
