21、The way we watch television has changed, as many of us no longer follow the old model of television. In the past, a new episode (集) of a show was released once a week. 【1】 People, therefore, have created a new term：binge-watching (狂欢式刷剧). It is used to describe the behavior of watching many episodes of a whole series in a row.
【2】 In fact, a 2018 Morning Consult poll (民意调查) found that 60 percent of American adults who watched shows binge-watched. The percentage even increased among younger audiences. 【3】
Of course, every new cultural behavior has its accompanying health consequences. What is binge-watching doing to our health? 【4】 They sent an 18-question survey to 926 adults who owned a television and at least one other device with a screen. They found that heavy screen time users averaged 17.5 hours of screen-use every day. They also reported that this group’s health condition was worse than light users.
Interestingly, researchers also discovered a connection between binge-watching and greater stress. The result is surprising. 【5】 It might have been believed that people are turning to binge-watching to deal with anxiety and stress. However, that’s not the case. It could be the case that people will suffer from greater stress if watching more shows continuously.
A．Every new cultural behavior has its own causes.
B．Nowadays, binge-watching is a common behavior.
C．Now, many companies release a whole series at once.
D．People are more stressed out if they’re binge-watching.
E．Researchers at Arizona State University wanted to figure this out.
F．73 percent of 18-to-29-year-olds binge-watched at least once a week.
G．Researchers identified binge-watchers by asking how long they watched television.
22、As much as 80 percent of premature heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices. Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known. But others may not have crossed your mind. 【1】
Get eight hours of sleep. “When you’re not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more stressful,” says Dr. Arya Sharma, a professor of medicine at the University of Alberta. If we don’t have enough sleep, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation and glucose levels. 【2】
Engage in volunteer work. 【3】 Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine showed that a feeling of purpose in life is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. Depending on the type of work you do, volunteering might even increase your physical activity.
【4】 Try to get your outdoor exercise far away from highways and industrial districts, and spend more time indoors when the air quality index is poor. As various studies show, even short periods of exposure are unhealthy for people who already have other cardiovascular (心血管的) risks, such as high blood pressure.
Laugh. 【5】 A 2016 study in the Journal of Epidemiology of more than 20,000 people over the age of 65 found a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease in those who reported laughing every day.
A．Avoid polluted air.
B．Engage in indoor activities.
C．These factors can all have an impact on cardiovascular health.
D．Read the following tips to make your life filled with happiness.
E．Doing good for others helps your self-esteem and relieves stress.
F．It reduces stress and depression, and it may also serve as a mini-workout.
G．Actually, a small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big impact.
23、 I’ve been teaching college for many years, long enough to note the gradual relaxation of attention in matters of student dress. And I’ve long been used to the worn jeans, flip-flops and shorts. Still, I took note recently when one of my students showed up in pajama bottoms. I couldn’t help asking, “Did you just roll out of bed?” “Five minutes ago.” he responded.
I’m familiar with the school of thought that says that how students dress is not important, so long as they’re learning. This is much the same when they say “Grammar and spelling don’t matter, so long as they’re expressing themselves.” Perhaps. But I also wonder about the wisdom of blurring(模糊)the line between bed and desk. I should think that a careful consideration of clothes before entering a formal environment is a sort of visible reminder to oneself (and one’s teachers) that impressions are important and that we have come together to get down to business.
I suppose that I come from a time when there were “school clothes” and “play clothes,” and never did the two sorts meet. I grew up in a working-class family, to whom “looking sharp” was important. Personal appearance might have made the difference between getting and losing a job. So yes, I’m all for freedom of choice in matters of dress, and yes, I do want my students to be comfortable. But I also want to pay my respects to those students who believe that appearances matter.
I think of this lady I had in class a few years back. She was someone to whom science was never easy: She worked hard for respectable grades on every task. But I was impressed by how tastefully she dressed, day after day. When the course ended, I mentioned this to her. “You always looked so nice,” I remarked，“as if you were ready to take on the world.”
【1】Which of the following statements is Not True?
A.“Looking sharp” is helpful in getting a job.
B.It is wise to blur the line between bed and desk.
C.Students are being more and more casually dressed.
D.The author believes we should pay some respects to our appearances.
【2】What does the “school of thought” mean in paragraph 2?
A.a college that teaches thoughts B.a group of students and teachers
C.a way of thinking D.a branch of learning
【3】What do we know about the lady in the last paragraph?
A.She had a talent for science.
B.The author was impressed by her casual dressing.
C.Her grades were not decent though she studied hard.
D.She was one of the students who believed that appearances matter.
24、Doctors at the University of California, San Francisco, in the US, have developed a piece of software that can read minds. The project, supported by Facebook, hopes to help people who, because of medical conditions, are unable to communicate with others.
Until now, technologies that have helped speech-impaired (语言障碍) people communicate have been too slow to allow a natural conversation. People find these things upsetting to use. This new way uses brain signals to change a person’s thoughts into text. When we want to speak, the brain sends signals to make the lips, jaw and tongue move in the right way to make an understandable sound. By discovering these brain signals, the new software is able to predict what a person want to say quickly enough to hold a conversation.
The brain-reading software was tested on three volunteers who could all speak like healthy people. They were being treated for epilepsy (癫痫). As part of their treatment for epilepsy, each patient had electrodes(电极) placed on to their brain. Edward Chang, whole d the study, used these electrodes to record the signals in the patients’ brains while they listened to a list of questions and answered them.
Chang and his team then built a computer program that learned to match the patients’ brain signals to the words the patients heard and the words the patients spoke. For the questions, the software matched the correct words 76%of the time. For the answers, it matched the correct words 61%of the time.
Now, the mind-reading software works only for the limited set of sentences on which it was trained. Scientists hope that this early system will help them develop a more powerful one that could understand thoughts in real time to give people their voices back. Chang said, “We as scientists should try our best to help people to bring that most important and basic human ability back.”
【1】What is the disadvantage of previous technologies?
A．They couldn’t read people’s minds correctly.
B．They couldn’t make communication understandable.
C．They couldn’t serve the purpose of natural conversation.
D．They couldn’t let medical conditions change for the better.
【2】How does the software help people?
A．By changing people’s mind into text.
B．By sending signals to their lips.
C．By organizing conversations for them.
D．By training them how to speak.
【3】What can we know about the mind-reading software according to the last paragraph?
A．It has been used on a wide scale.
B．It has restored the basic human ability.
C．It still has plenty of room for improvement.
D．It has enhanced human real-time conversation.
【4】What is the attitude of the author towards the mind-reading software?
A．Favorable.
B．Objective.
C．Intolerant.
D．Doubtful.

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。
Long, long ago, in a little village lived a humble(谦虚的) man named Ashwin. He went about making ends meet by pulling a rickshaw(人力 车) and transporting passengers from one destination to another. Times were hard and he had to take the responsibility for supporting his family.
One day, while returning from work, a man who looked like a wealthy person coming from the city stopped his rickshaw. He quickly told Ashwin the place he wanted to visit. His car had broken down and he desperately needed to get to the mentioned address urgently. After an uneventful ride, they reached the destination, and the passenger paid the fare.
Ashwin, on returning home, found to his surprise that his passenger just then had dropped a small bag in his rickshaw. On opening it, he found 50 gold coins in it. He showed it to his family who couldn’t believe their luck. His wife said with joy, “Thank goodness. Now we find a solution to our problems.”
That night, Ashwin couldn’t sleep. His conscience(良心) kept troubling him. At the crack of dawn, he woke his wife up. He said, “Lalita, I think it’s wrong to keep someone else’s gold coins. I am going to search for the man and hand over the coins to him.” Lalita was shocked and cried, but Ashwin stuck to his word. He tried hard to find the man, but nothing seemed to work.
Eventually when he was about to give up, he saw that wealthy passenger. Ashwin ran to him and thrust(塞) the bag in his hand, “Sir, you left this bag in my rickshaw. I have been looking for you since then and I am so relieved to find you. Please take this,” he said.
