21、A lot of people think that they are not good at learning a new language. 【1】
Good language learners look for opportunities to hear and use the new language outside of the classroom on a daily basis and consequently learn the language more quickly. 【2】 For instance, they can talk to salesmen, join sports clubs, or even talk to people in coffee stores. They might read newspapers and magazines in that language, watch movies, listen to podcasts, or join chat rooms. All of these are great opportunities to practice and can also be fun.
In addition, good language learners try different ways to make their message understood. For example, if they do not know the word for “laundromat,” they might say “the place where you can wash clothes.” 【3】 The point is that good language learners are creative and do not easily give up.
Finally, good language learners are prepared to take risks. 【4】 As a result, instead of being embarrassed by a mistake or getting frustrated when they do not understand, they see it as gaining a learning opportunity. For example, if they do not understand what someone said the first time, they are not afraid to ask them to repeat it again and again until they do understand. Or, if someone corrects their vocabulary or grammar, they try to remember instead of becoming shy about speaking.
【5】 It cannot be done in just a few months. Hopefully, these methods will help you be a good and confident language learner in the long run.
A．Becoming fluent in a language takes time.
B．But we can learn a new language through looking up new words.
C．If that does not work, they might even try drawing it or acting it out.
D．Besides, good language learners use various ways to learn English words.
E．They understand that making mistakes is natural and is necessary to learn.
F．If they’re studying in a country where the language is spoken, this is easy to do.
G．However, we can learn from good language learners to become better at languages.
22、Genetic information is important because it stores, processes and transmits biological data from generation to generation. Some scientists even assume that knowing genetic information itself matters.
For example, in quantum mechanics (量子力学), there is a popular theory known as the “observer effect”, which states that the act of observing a phenomenon (usually by making some kind of measurement) necessarily changes that phenomenon. In other words, just by being there and having an interest in the outcome, we affect that outcome.
While the explanations behind the observer’s influence in quantum mechanics come down to the measuring instrument and not the observer’s conscious mind, we also see strong evidence for the “placebo effect” in medicine: a patient’s condition can improve if they just believe they are receiving an effective treatment. And those beneficial effects can happen even if the patient is not actually receiving that treatment or if the treatment doesn’t actually work.
If our minds truly do have power over our surroundings and our bodies, what does having the genetic information do to us? Does simply knowing more about our own physiology (生理机能) change it? A recent study on exercise and obesity suggests that the answer is yes.
Those who were told they were at low genetic risk for obesity produced 2.5 times more of the fullness hormone and claimed to feel fuller despite eating the same meal as they had one week prior. Those who were told they had lower endurance because of their genes did worse on their physical test than they had before receiving that information: they showed lower lung capacity and quit sooner.
Thus, having information about our genetic risk can lead to improvements in our physiology (as was true for the eaters of the study), but it can also put us at a disadvantage (as with the poor exercise performers). So we certainly need to be cautious of incorrect genetic information. But as the Stanford study shows, even if the genetic information we receive is correct, how we receive it is also important.
【1】How does the “placebo effect” in medicine work?
A．The patient recovers with the timely treatment.
B．The patient’s condition worsens due to a lack of treatment.
C．The patient’s condition remains unchanged despite their belief.
D．The patient’s condition improves with the belief in the treatment.
【2】According to paragraph 5, what happened to those who were told they were at low genetic risk for obesity?
A．They showed lower lung capacity.
B．They quit their physical test sooner.
C．They needed more food to satisfy their appetite.
D．They felt fuller with more fullness hormone released.
【3】What is the author’s attitude towards having genetic information?
A．Positive.
B．Objective.
C．Ambiguous.
D．Negative.
【4】What is the main idea of this article?
A．The great power of the observer’s mind.
B．The influence of knowing genetic information.
C．The amazing application of genetic information.
D．The connection between Quantum Mechanics and Medicine.
23、In the last three years, I have read approximately 150 books. Reading almost every day in the last three years has increased my reading comprehension. It has also improved my own writing skills. This has boosted my confidence and encouraged me to start writing more often. I am now writing a fiction book. I write and edit for Odyssey, and I am an officer for the SNHU Book Club. This has also helped me become a better student. I’m able to read and comprehend the text more for each class, and do well on the assignments because of my better writing skills. I truly love it, and can’t imagine where I would be right now if I hadn’t become a bookworm.
Because I read so much, I have decided to start doing a written version of a book haul (读书分享会). In short, a book haul is a review of the books read each month. They are typically done as a video, but until I have the proper equipment to do that, I will be writing mine. At the end of each month I will discuss the books I read, the books I bought, or received, and then ask for your thoughts and suggestions.
January was a busy month for me. I only finished one book, Mark of Distinction by Jessica Dotta. It’s the second book in the Price of Privilege trilogy. I bought Carve the Mark, Veronica Roth’s new book, and An Unquiet Mind, a psychology based book by Kay Redfield Jamison. I plan on reading these in February, as well as the third section of the Red Queen series, King’s Cage by Victoria Aveyard, which will be released on February 7. I am so excited for it!
If you’ve read any of the books I ever mention, feel free to reach out either on here, or Twitter! I love chatting about books!
【1】What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us about the author?
A．How she writes for a magazine.

A．It’s done as a video.
B．It’s represented in written form.
C．It’s a face-to-face review.
D．It’s all about the already-read books.
【3】What do we know about Price of Privilege?
A．It is culture-specific.
B．It is psychology-based.

24、An astronaut crew of private citizens has been launched to the International Space Station(ISS).The launch happened in Florida’s Kennedy Space Center. The flight is the first to be organized and operated by a private company involving a completely commercial astronaut crew.
The four-member team will travel to the ISS inside a spacecraft built by American company SpaceX. The crew members are from the private company Axiom Space based in Houston, Texas. The group is led by retired NASA astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria. The mission is called Ax-1. Lopez-Alegria will be joined by the mission pilot, Larry Conner, a businessman and private pilot from Ohio. The other members of the crew are Israeli fighter pilot Eytan Stibbe and Mark Pathy, a Canadian businessman. Stibbe and Pathy will serve as mission specialists.
NASA says it will cooperate with Axiom mission officials to plan joint activities involving the Axiom team and regular ISS crew members. Currently, there are three American astronauts aboard the ISS, along with a German astronaut and three Russian astronauts.
The launch is being praised as a turning point in the latest expansion of commercial space activities. Such activities have become known in the industry as the low-Earth orbit(轨道) economy, or the “LEO economy”.
The latest mission’s crew might seem similar to private space tourists who recently took space rides that did not reach orbit. The trips aim to fly private citizens to the edge of space and permit them to experience weightlessness and observe Earth.
But Axiom executives(经理、主管领导) say their mission is very different. “We are not space tourists,” Lopez-Alegria says. The Ax-1 team will be carrying equipment and supplies for 26 science and technology experiments. They include research in areas including brain and heart health, cancer and aging.
Axiom’s co-founder and executive chairman, Kam Ghaffarian, says he saw the launch as “the beginning of many beginnings for commercializing low-Earth orbit”. He adds: “We’re like in the early days of the Internet, and we haven’t even imagined all the possibilities, all the capabilities, that we’re going to be providing in space.”
【1】Who have been launched from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center to the ISS?
A．The four-member private astronaut crew.
B．The four crew members from SpaceX.
C．The four professional astronauts.
D．The four private space tourists.
【2】Who is the pilot of the mission Ax-1?
A．Mark Pathy.
B．Larry Conner.
C．Eytan Stibbe.
D．Michael Lopez-Alegria.
【3】Why does Lopez-Alegria say they were not space tourists?
A．They will help with the astronauts’ work in the ISS.
B．They will experience weightlessness.
C．They will do scientific researches in the ISS.
D．They will just fly to the edge of space.
【4】What does Kam think of the LEO economy?
A．It is the beginning of space tourism.
B．It is just an imagination.
C．It is faced with more uncertainties.
D．It is a promising business.
