21、On a hill 600 feet above the surrounding land, we watch the lines of rain move across the scene, the moon rise over the hills, and the stars appear in the sky. The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house.
Every window in our wooden house has a view, and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before. Each look reminds us where we are.
There is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows, collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees.
Our kids have learned the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation. As they tell all who show even a passing interest, maple makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees.
The air is clean and fresh. The water from the well has a pleasant taste, and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink. Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water, they never say anything against that.
The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars (杨树) putting out the first green leaves of spring. The Rainbow Smelt (彩虹香鱼) fills the local stream as the ice gradually disappears, and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter. A family of birds rules our skies and flies over the lake.
【1】What do we learn from Para. 2?
A．The forest outside the windows is colorful.
B．The views are changeable outside the house.
C．There are a lot of windows in the wooden house.

【2】By mentioning tree names, the author wants to show that the kids______.
A．like playing in trees
B．are good at playing games
C．find trees useful learning tools
D．have learned good knowledge of trees
【3】What does the underlined sentence mean?
A．The change of seasons is easily felt.
B．The seasons remain unchanged inside.
C．The weather often changes outside the door.
D．The door is a good place to enjoy changing views.
【4】What is the main purpose of the text?
A．Sharing the joy of living in the nature.

C．Picturing the beauty of the scene about the house.
D．Describing her children’s happy and unforgettable childhood.
22、Even though we may believe that it’s important to say thank you, sometimes expressing gratitude is easier said than done. We might find ourselves getting hung up on the best way to deliver the message.
However, it’s possible that we might be making our thanks more complex. In a paper, researchers compared the effects of expressing thanks in person, over a video call, and over text. And, while people generally expect an in-person thank you to be the most effective, what happened in reality was quite different: Sending a thank-you over text was almost as effective as that. Additionally, texting may be especially well-suited for situations where we feel awkward or embarrassed about expressing our appreciation.
In the study, 219 college students participated in a gratitude activity in which they wrote about three things they were grateful for over a two- week period. After writing, the students were asked to actually thank the persons involved. Some connected with the gratitude recipients (接受者) in person, others via video call, and others via text. At the beginning and end of the two weeks，participants completed surveys measuring their feelings of well-being, connections with others, loneliness and happiness.
The researchers found that people who expressed gratitude gained increased happiness, with only a few differences for the different methods of gratitude expression. Overall, video calls were just as beneficial as meeting in person. Texting was slightly less effective than video calling- it didn’t make people feel more connected and happier, while video calling did. However, participants who sent their thanks over text still experienced benefits: Texting improved their well- being and reduced their loneliness.
Overall, however, the message is that we shouldn’t worry about finding just the “best” way to express our gratitude. In fact, you re better off sending a quick thank you shortly after you receive the kindness than waiting for an occasion to schedule an in-person visit. Don’t put it off just for finding the best way—many times our gratitude goes unsaid because we spend too much time on the details.
【1】What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Making a video call.
B．Sending a text message.
C．Expressing thanks in person.
D．Writing a thank-you letter.
【2】Why did the researchers ask the students to finish surveys?
A．To find the effect of expressing thanks on them.
B．To measure their physical health.
C．To collect a lot more ways to express thanks.
D．To know their views on gratitude.
【3】What did the research suggest?
A．In-person gratitude was less likely to be accepted.
B．Expressing gratitude could benefit mental health.
C．Ways of gratitude expression should be improved.
D．Texting made the gratitude recipients much happier.
【4】What are we advised to do to express thanks?
A．Search for the best way.
B．Wait for an in-person visit.
C．Express gratitude in time.
D．Make careful preparations.
23、Police should be allowed to use facial recognition to investigate specific crimes and to protect the public at major events, according to the first national survey of the public's attitude to the technology. However, they are opposed to unrestricted use while two thirds (65 percent) of the public believe an absolute ban on the police would be wrong, Up to 70 percent backed its use to analyse faces on CCTV (闭路电视) to catch a suspect in an investigation or in day-to-day policing to prevent crime at events such as football matches or carnivals, The technology enables police to scan crowds and pick out faces that match huge databases of suspects.
There is, however, far less tolerance of its use by private (私人的) companies, whether to monitor shoppers or workers, or in schools if it was to be used to track children's behaviour or expressions. By a majority of almost two to one, the public believes that organizations should seek the permission of people before they start using facial recognition. Most also want a pause on any further use of the technology until publicly-agreed guidelines are in place on when and where it should be used.
More than half (55 percent) of the public believe the Government should limit police use of facial recognition to criminal investigations, though half also saw it as no different to taking photographs or using CCTV. Of those who were comfortable with its use, 80 percent said it was because it was “beneficial for the security of society”,
There was also a majority in favour of the technology where there was personal benefit, with 54 percent backing its use to unlock a smartphone by recognizing an owner’s face and with passport checks at airports where it can speed up queues.
【1】Why is the technology of facial recognition significant to the police?
A．It helps them better investigate criminal cases.

A．It is believed to go against publicly-agreed guidelines.
B．It is helpful to track students’ behavior at home.

【3】What conclusion can we draw about the application of the technology?
