21、Zaki was small for his twelve years, and he was angry being treated as a child. Farid, his older brother, had been looked upon as a man long before he was Zaki’s age. Every day Farid and the other young Bahraini men went out in their wooden boats to dive for oysters (牡蛎). Many times Zaki begged to go along, but Farid always refused to let him.
So every day Zaki would go to the shallow water to practice. His grandfather, a former diver, would watch him and advise him. All morning, Zaki would practice diving beneath the waves. Every afternoon, again and again he would go underwater and hold his breath. With each day’s practice, his diving improved and he could hold his breath a little while longer. Soon Zaki felt as much at home in the water as he did out of it.
Zaki rose early one day. He wanted to compete with his brother. They dived beneath the waves. Zaki opened his eyes and found himself looking into his brother’s face. Farid was smiling with confidence. Slowly, the smile was disappearing from Farid’s face. As more seconds passed, a worried look appeared on Farid’s face. Farid was realizing that Zaki could possibly beat him. Looking into Farid’s eyes, Zaki suddenly understood what losing could mean to his brother. Never would the villagers allow him to live it down. He would be laughed at by losing to a little child. Almost without thinking, Zaki kicked his feet and rose to the surface of the water a second before Farid’s head appeared beside him.
The men around them cheered and patted Farid on the back. Farid, however, put his arm around Zaki’s shoulders. “Today,” Farid announced, “we shall have a new diver among us.” Then quietly, for Zaki’s ears alone, he said “Thank you, my brother.” And Zaki knew that they both had learned that it takes more than strength to make a man.

22、It’s 8 a. m., Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2028, and you are heading for a business appointment 300 miles away. You step into your circle, a two-passenger air-cushion car, press a series of buttons and the national traffic computer notes your destination, figures out the current traffic situation and signals your car to slide out of the garage. Hands free, you sit back and begin to read the morning paper — which is mashed on a flat TV screen over the car’s dashboard. Tapping a button changes the page.
The car speeds up to 150 mph in the city’s countryside, and then hits 250 mph in less built-up areas, driving over the smooth plastic road. You fly past a string of cities, many of hem covered by the new domes (圆屋顶) that keep them evenly climatized all year round. Traffic is heavy, typically, but there’s no need to worry. The traffic computer, which sends and receives signals to and from all cars on the road between cities, keeps vehicles at least 50 yds apart. There hasn’t been an accident since the system began.
Suddenly your TV phone buzzes. A business partner wants a sketch of a new kind of impeller your firm is producing for sports boats. You reach for your case and draw the diagram with a pencil-thin infrared flashlight (红外线手电筒) on what looks like a TV screen lining the back of the case. The diagram is sent to a similar screen in your partner’s office, 200 miles way. He presses a button and a fixed copy of the sketch rolls out of the machine. He wishes you good luck at the coming meeting and signs off.
Ninety minutes after leaving your home, you slide beneath the dome of your destination city. Your car slows down and heads for an outer-core office building where you’ll meet your colleagues. After you get out, the vehicle parks itself in a garage to await your return. Private cars aren’t allowed inside most city cores. Moving sidewalks and trams (有轨电车) carry the public from one location to another.
【1】The traffic computer in your car can ________.
A．keep your car at a safe distance from other cars
B．keep your car at the same speed in different situations
C．keep your car receiving signals of TV programs
D．keep your car driving while avoiding heavy traffic
【2】Why are the cities covered by the new domes?
A．To prevent people from being wet in the rain.
B．To stop the climate of the cities changing violently all year.
C．To protect the travelers against the strong sunshine.
D．To make the city have the same weather all year.
【3】What will the city be like in the future?
A．No accidents will happen because of heavy traffic.
B．The sidewalk can move itself up and down
C．The road will be built with the plastic material.
D．The car can park itself on a dome to wait for your return.
【4】The passage is most probably taken from ________.
A．a popular science magazine
B．a short story collection
C．a research paper
D．a personal diary
23、There’s never been a better time to enjoy food and have fun at the same time than a weekend trip with an unforgettable meal.

Whatley Manor
Prefer a country hotel? Whatley Manor near Malmesbury is the one for you. Set in 12 beautiful acres, it has a spa with indoor and outdoor pools, and a restaurant run by young chef Niall Keating. It has a balance of modem and classic, with a daring use of foreign flavours, and the wine list is treat, too. If you can drag yourself away, Malmesbury has cosy pubs, independent shops and 12th-century Malmesbury Abbey.
Midsummer House
For the best of city and country in one, head to Midsummer House. Located downtown in Midsummer Common, it feels a world away from the hustle and bustle (喧嚣忙碌). This award- winning restaurant centers on an adventurous tasting menu. While there, pay a visit to King’s College Chapel, take a river tour and don’t miss attractions like Corpus Clock.

24、“Does my smile look big in this?” Future fitting-room mirrors in clothing stores could subtly adjust your reflection to make you look--and hence feel--happier encouraging you to like what you see.
That’s the idea behind the Emotion Evoking System developed by Shigeo Yoshida and colleagues at the University of Tokyo in Japan. The system can manipulate, or in other words, control your emotions and personal preferences by presenting you with an image of your own smiling or frowning face.
The principle that physiological changes can drive emotional ones that laughter comes before happiness, rather than the other way around- is a well-established idea.
The researchers wanted to see if this idea could be used to build a computer system that manipulates how you feel. The system works by presenting the user with a web-camera image of his or her face as if they were looking in a mirror. The image is then subtly altered with-software, turning the corners of the mouth up or down and changing the area around the eyes, so that the person appears to smile or frown.
Without telling them the aim of the study, the team recruited(招募)21 volunteers and asked them to sit in front of the screen while performing an unrelated task. When the task was completed, the participants rated how they felt. When the faces on screen appeared to smile, people reported that they felt happier. On the other hand, when the image was given a sad expression, they reported feeling less happy.
Yoshida and his colleagues tested whether manipulating the volunteers emotional state would influence their preferences. Each person was given a scarf to wear and again presented with the altered webcam image. The volunteers that saw themselves smiling while wearing the scarf were more likely to report that they liked it, and those that saw themselves not smiling were less likely.
“The system could be used to manipulate consumers’ impressions of products,” say the researchers. For example, mirrors in clothing-store fitting rooms could be replaced with screens showing altered reflections. They also suggest people may be more likely to find clothes attractive if they see themselves looking happy while trying them on.
“It’s certainly an interesting area,” says Chris Creed at the University of Birmingham, UK. But he notes that using such technology in a shop would be harder than in the lab, because people will use a wide range of expressions. “Attempting to make slight differences to these and ensuring that the reflected image looks believable would be much more challenging,” he says.
Of course, there are also important moral questions surrounding such subtly manipulative technology. “You could argue that if it makes people happy, what harm is it doing?” says Creed. “But I can imagine that many people may feel manipulated uncomfortable and cheated if they found out.”
【1】What’s the main purpose of the Emotion Evoking System?
A．To see whether one’ s facial expressions can be altered.
B．To replace the mirrors in future clothing-store fitting rooms.
C．To see whether laughter comes before happiness.
D．To see whether one’s feeling can be unconsciously affected.
【2】What can we learn about the web-camera image in the study?
A．It recorded the volunteers’ performance in the task.
B．It attempted to make the volunteers feel happier.
C．It gave the volunteers a false image.
D．It beautified the volunteers appearance in the mirror.
【3】What does Creed mention as a limitation of the technology
A．It only deals with a limited number of facial expressions.
B．It only works in clothing stores.
C．It only makes subtle changes to people’s expressions.
D．It only changes the areas around the mouth and the eyes.
【4】What does Creeds comment on the moral issues with this technology imply?
A．People should make their decisions independently.
B．Technology is unable to manipulate people.
C．Nothing is more important than happiness.
D．People should neglect the harm of the technology.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。
On our way to California, my husband Lee and I stopped at a restaurant to have lunch and stretch our legs a bit with our kids Jack and Jenny.
As we walked toward the entrance, an ugly looking doorman jumped up from a nearby bench and opened the door for us. “Good afternoon and welcome to Denny’s,” he said in a very joyful voice. In his hand he held a cup full of steaming coffee- which was inviting on such a cold day- -but from the looks of the rest of him, it appeared that he hadn’t had a good meal or a shower in a long time. Obviously he was homeless. But regardless of his appearance, he greeted us as if we were his best friends, adding as we entered, “Today’s soup and sandwich special is a great deal.”
Once inside, my kids whispered to me, “Mom, he smells.” After we ordered our lunch, Lee and I explained the best we could, telling the kids to look beyond the dirt to the person underneath and within. As we explained, the four of us watched other customers approach the restaurant. They appeared unsure of the homeless man and many ignored him.
Seeing this rudeness truly frustrated me. When we were almost finished, I excused myself from the meal and went to the truck for my purse.
As I neared the front door, the doorman was opening it for a couple and welcoming them to the restaurant. They rushed past him and didn’t even acknowledge his presence. I let the couple come through first and then said a loud, and polite “thank you” to the doorman as I exited.
When I came back, we talked a lot. The doorman told me that the restaurant’s manager wouldn’t let him inside unless he purchased food. All l he could afford was coffee which, he said, didn’t count as “food” according to the manager, so he had to stay outside.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Seated myself, I signaled the waiter to come and decided to do something before leaving.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
