21、It’s often said of British people that they are very aware of each other’s social rank. Britons can usually work out a fellow countryman’s background from the way they speak or dress, and may even treat them differently based on this. But although this may have been truer in the past than it is today. Visitors to Britain say that they still notice it. The comic play Pygmalion by the Irish man George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), is a famous exploration of the importance of social rank in British society.
The main story of the play concerns a working class girl, Eliza Doolittle, a flower seller from London. Two upper class gentlemen try to see if they can get Doolittle to appear like an upper class lady after sending her for elocution lessons. Professor Henry Higgins, a language expert, says it can be done; his friend Colonel Pickering says that it’s impossible. Even so, Higgins sets out to teach Eliza how to “speak properly”.
Of course Eliza isn’t a lump of clay; she has her own will. She can see that it’s in her best interest to go along with Higgin’s plan to “improve herself”. She wants to be able to sell flowers in a shop rather than on the street. Still, Eliza’s willfulness means that it’s a bumpy（坎坷的）ride for everyone.
At the beginning of fourth act, the characters are at home after a ball（舞会）, at which Eliza proved that a flower girl can pass herself off as a lady after all. She was a triumph at the ball, and Higgins has won his bet.
But what happens next? Eliza has her future to worry about. She may be able to fool the upper class into thinking she’s one of them, but she isn’t really one of them.
Shaw seems to be telling us that social rank is about more than the someone talks---it’s about wealth and privilege. The whole experiment proves the idea that accents and classes are very superficial. The way one speaks and dresses are only markers of class. The class system itself, however, is something completely different.
【1】According to the text, in Britain, the way a person speaks and dresses _____.
A．determines their social rank
B．used to have a strict code
C．is no longer cared about by other people
D．could affect other opinions of them
【2】The words “elocution lessons” underlined in paragraph 2 probably mean ______.
A．dance lessons
B．speech lessons
C．sales training
D．
dress courses
【3】What happens to Eliza Doolittle during the experiment by Professor Henry Higgins?
A．She is forced to give up selling flowers on the street.
B．She is unwilling to participate in the experiment at first.
C．She is thought of as a respectable upper-class lady at the ball.
D．She is afraid that true background will be known by other people.
【4】What message did Shaw intend to convey in Pygmalion according to the text?
A．People should try to improve their accents.
B．One can enter the upper class after receiving training.
C．The way someone speaks makes a big difference to their social status.
D．A person’s social rank can’t truly be judged by the way they look and talk.
22、We have heard some interesting ways that 5G wireless technology might change our lives in the future.
5G, short for the 5th generation mobile communication technology, promises Internet speeds between 50 to 100 times faster than current 4G systems. While 5G is set to be used in some limited areas of America this year, much of the world is not expected to receive widely available service until 2023.
One project in Britain, however, is already testing this superfast technology on an unlikely group of Internet users — cows. The project was developed by American technology company Cisco Systems, Inc. It also receives money from the British government. Cisco says the program seeks to explore the future of 5G connectivity in rural areas around the world.
Testing areas were set up at farms in three rural areas of England. The cows are equipped with 5G-connected devices(装置) that link up to a robotic milking system, which uses sensors and machine learning to fully automate the process. System designers say technology takes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks toward an automatic gate. The device is designed to recognize each individual cow. It then positions equipment to the right body position for milking. During the process, machines release food for the cow as a reward.
Other 5G technology tools include automated brushes that turn on when the cow rubs (蹭) up against them. Sensors also control the amount of light to the cows’ living areas depending on the weather. And, an automatic feeding system makes sure the animals always get enough to eat.
Duncan Forbes, head of the project, told Reuters that the project shows the farm’s cow operations can be greatly improved with 5G technology and that the experiment provides strong evidence that 5G technology can be widely used in the future, not just on farms in Britain, but in rural communities across the world.
【1】What is the purpose of Cisco Systems, Inc.’s project?
A．To win financial support from British government.
B．To test the effects of 5G technology on animals.
C．To promote its technological development in Britain.
D．To expand the future use of 5G in rural communities.
【2】What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The project.
B．The company.
C．The technology.
D．The group.
【3】What can we learn about 5G according to the text?
A．It is no worse than 4G in terms of speed.
B．It is already widely available in the world.
C．It has made improvement in operating the cows.
D．It is based on sensors and machine learning.
【4】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A．Entertainment.
B．Lifestyle.
C．Education.
D．Technology.

24、On Monday, I stopped my car in front of my daughter Juliet’s middle school. She jumped in the front seat, feeling down. She asked me to help her study for her science test.
“Dad, I need to memorise a unit about the Reproductive Cycle of Plants. And I can hardly make it.”
“You know memorising seems like the best way to study, but in fact you can do better in tests if you work on trying to understand the material.”
Juliet was open to my advice. It was Monday afternoon and we had two nights to study before the test on Wednesday. I suggested a plan. “Tomorrow night, you are going to teach the material to me. Tonight, read the unit. Prepare to teach.”
Asking her to teach me was an unusual idea but I was determined to do it. Studies show teaching somebody else is a very useful way to learn. Even if you don’t do the teaching, the act of preparing to teach leads to more learning than just trying your best to memorise the material.
On Tuesday afternoon, Juliet sat down with her science book facing me and said, “Okay Dad, let’s study.” I wanted her to teach me. But false starts happened. I couldn’t be too hard on her. So instead we started with me asking her some simple questions. She knew some but not others. When she didn’t know the answers, I encouraged her to check the book.
She started checking things that didn’t make sense. And she was actively seeking to test her understanding. I was happy to see it. She wasn’t memorising; she was trying to make sense of things, which was exactly what I had hoped she would do.
【1】Why did Juliet feel down?
A．Because she failed her science test.
B．Because she had trouble memorising a unit.
C．Because she knew nothing about planting.
D．Because she couldn’t follow her teacher.
【2】In the writer’s opinion, which was the key to best learning?
A．Memorising.
B．Testing.
C．Questioning.
D．Understanding.
【3】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A．Making her check the book.
B．Using simple questions to test her.
C．Encouraging her to read the unit.
D．Asking her to teach me the unit.
【4】Which can be the best title for the passage?
A．A Creative Father
B．An Unexpected Test
C．Learning from Teaching
D．Preparing for Teaching

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完 整的短文。续写的词数应为80词左右。
As a sixth grader, I found it hard to fit in and make friends.
Our teacher had assigned (布置) “secret friends” for the coming week. She wrote each kid’s name on a piece of paper and threw them into a glass; then we each closed our eyes and picked out one. By the middle of the week, everyone had turned this assignment into a competition to see whose secret friend could leave the best gift. It seemed that everyone was getting cool presents from their friend except me.
On the last morning of our assignment, I walked into my classroom and noticed a package with a box of powder (胭脂粉). The girls sitting near me laughed at the gift I had received. What’s worse, the powder had already been opened.
I tried to forget about the embarrassing gift, but when I was in the bathroom during the break, the girls started speaking ill of my secret friend of giving it to me. I quickly joined in. “How terrible,” I heard myself saying, “What could my friend be thinking by giving me such a stupid gift? My grandmother wouldn’t even want it.” The girls laughed at my remarks (评论) and rushed out of the bathroom. I stayed to wash my hands and let water run through my fingers as I thought about what I had just said. It wasn’t normal like me to say mean (刻薄的) things like that about someone.
Then I saw my classmate Janet come out of a bathroom booth(厕所隔间), tears streaming down her face. She shouted at me with anger, “If you don’t want my gift, you can just leave it instead of laughing at it. This is the best powder from my mum!”
Hearing Janet’s words, I made up my mind to say sorry to her.
