21、 Nine years ago, Catrina Davies, a Cambridge graduate, was living in a houseshare in Bristol.Constant worrying about paying the rent was making her ill with stress and she longed to get back to the Cornwall’s Penwith peninsula (半岛) where she grew up.Priced out of the housing market, she took the final decision to go to live in a shabby, stand-alone shed which her father once used as his office.
“It was full of mice and spiders and there was no electricity, toilet, heating or shower,” Catrina remembers.She survived the first year without electricity and still only uses ten pounds-worth a month.
Over the years, Catrina has upgraded her modest shed with second-hand windows and doors and had a wood burner installed.Her oven is a camping stove outdoors and she does without a fridge by keeping easily spoiled food outside in a Tupperware box.She buys milk from a local farm to make yogurt and grows fresh herbs, salad and vegetables.
Having such an outdoor lifestyle, she’s painfully aware of climate change.“I’ve noticed fewer songbirds and owls.Winters are warmer and weather patterns seem to be changed.The fishermen say there are fewer mackerel (鲭鱼) too.”
“Plastic pollution in the sea fills me with extreme sadness and anger,” she continues.“And the Amazon rainforest is being burned to the ground because of our desire for an endless supply of cheap burgers and cheap leather.Our ecology and housing crises are both symptoms of human greed.”
“To save the planet, we all need to fundamentally change the way we live.Although giving up meat, lots of cheap goods, driving and flying may seem like a sacrifice, it could actually make us all a lot happier in the long run.Many studies show that materialistic tendencies are linked to decreased life satisfaction.When I first moved here, it was only meant to be a stopgap.Six years later, I can’t imagine living any other way.”
【1】What mainly leads to Catrina Davies’ choice of living in a shed?
A.The decision to escape high housing rents.
B.The desire of pursuing materialistic enjoyment.
C.The attempt to protect the ecological environment.
D.The longing for unique surroundings in her hometown.
【2】What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A.Plastic pollution is closely linked to the climate change.
B.Human desire for wealth helps promote life satisfaction.
C.It is fundamental to meet people’s materialistic needs.
D.It will pay off to change the way people live.
【3】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To convey the public’s concern about the climate change.
B.To advertise the living environment in Catrina’s hometown.
C.To analyze the close relation between human greed and social problems.
D.To introduce Catrina’s experience and her appeal for eco-friendly lifestyle.
22、The desire to be noticed by peers（同龄人）is a natural tendency. Your style – the way you dress up, the way you carry yourself, the trends you follow – plays a key role in helping your stand out from the others. 【1】 The following tips can help you.
1. Be yourself.
Why be a second-rate version of anybody else when you can be the first –rate version of yourself? Nothing will help you stand out of the crowd more than your own features because there can be only one you. Everyone has their own belief, their own way of thinking, their own experiences that shape their styles. However, self-doubt and fear of disapproval drive many to abandon their own ways and follow what everyone else is doing. 【2】
2. Keep an open mind.
Open-mindedness helps you see things from a different perspective, understand others, find opportunities, and learn from others. 【3】 There are several styles that you should explore and determine which suits your own personality. Nobody knows what fashion your are enthusiastic about. But you should be clearly aware of your own true feelings about it.
3. Keep up with the recent trends.
Fashion is always changing. 【4】 As society changes, so does fashion. Changing trends reflect the changes in people’s taste. Similarly, your sense of fashion changes as you gain more experiences in life. Keeping track of the latest fashion will help you redefine your style.
4. Wear your confidence.
Your attitude towards dressing can make a significant difference to how you look. You can wear a very beautiful dress, but if can’t carry it with confidence, it will not look good on you. 【5】 Don’t wear an uncomfortable dress just because everyone or your friend is wearing it. Remember, it’s okay to have your own style as long as you are confident with it.
A．Also, it tells a lot about your personality.
B．What worked yesterday may not work today.
C．Copying others will make you just another face in a crowd.
D．Having an open mind can be very helpful in defining your style.
E．On the other hand, even an average dress looks great on people who wear it confidently.
F．It is not absolutely necessary to follow every new trend, and you can enjoy the ones you like.
G．Simply following the fashion trends or wearing expensive clothes will not help you get a distinct style
23、 Men are as likely as women to suffer from postnatal (产后的) depression, a study shows. One in ten fathers — the same ratios as mothers — are found to suffer before or after birth. By the time their child reaches 12 weeks, as many as one in four are feeling down.
The symptoms observed in the American study are not thought to be hormonal — as they are in women — and are instead probably a response to the pressures of fatherhood. These include the expense of having children, changed relationship with partners and fear of paternal (父亲的) responsibility. In the early weeks, the lack of sleep and extra domestic chores also take the toll.
The study put the overall rate of depression among new fathers at 10.4 percent — double the estimated 4.8 percent for all men in any 12-month period. Around 8 percent were affected in the 12 weeks before and after birth, according to the Eastern Virginia Medical School Research. The study found parents were more likely to be down if their partner was too.
It is estimated that around one in ten women suffers postnatal depression, even if they have never had mental health problems. Without treatment the condition can last for months. Although most women have a few days of “Baby Blues” shortly after birth, postnatal depression can kick in up to six months later. Experts say that paternal depression is serious because it can have “substantial emotional, behavioural and developmental” effects on children.
【1】The “Baby Blues” effect among fathers may be caused by the following except _____.
A.domestic chores
B.fatherhood pressure
C.paternal responsibility
D.hormone imbalance
【2】What does the underlined phrase“take the toll”in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Cost a lot of money.
B.Take the lead.
C.Have a bad effect.
D.Have no links.
【3】Which could be the best title for the passage?
A.Therapy for Depression
B.Father Getting Baby Blues
C.Effects of Father Blues
D.Postnatal Recovery

25、The Last Robot-Proof Job in America?
You can get most food, such as warm cookies or vodka, to your doorstep in minutes. But try getting a red snapper (红鲷鱼). Until recently, if you could obtain it, it would likely have been pre-frozen and shipped in from overseas.
A new tech startup is aiming to ____________this situation. Based inside the Fulton Fish Market, a seafood wholesale market, the startup, called FultonFishMarket.com, allows customers across the whole country, both restaurants and individuals, to buy from the market. The fish is shipped ____________, rather than frozen, thanks to an Amazon advanced logistics system. Mike Spindler, the company’s C.E.O., said recently, “I can get a fish to Warren Buffett, that’s as fresh as if he’d walked down to the pier (码头) and bought it that morning.”
There is one thing, ____________, that the sophisticated logistics system cannot do: pick out a fish. If Warren Buffett orders a red snapper, the company needs to ____________ that his fish is actually red snapper, and not some other. According to the ocean-conservation organization, more than 20% of the seafood in restaurants and grocery stores in America is ___________. For this task, the company has employed Robert DiGregorio, a forty-seven-year veteran of the business, who possesses a blend of judgement and ___________ knowledge that, so far, computers have yet to replicate.
“___________ the food-safety stuff, our business could be any market from the last three thousand years of human history,” Spindler told me. He is experienced in the ___________ business. When he arrived at the fish market in 2014, people were cautious. “They thought selling fish on the Internet was___________.” DiGregorio said, speaking for the fishmongers(鱼贩). “They didn’t see how it could possibly work.” Five years ago, DeGregorio didn’t know how to use a computer, but when the Web-site people arrived at the market, he sensed an opportunity. Together, they’ve created a human-machine fish-buying operation.
By 1 a.m. each night, the company collects __________ from around the country and sends them to DiGregorio. He heads into the market, carrying his tablet computer. The company’s algorithms（算法） ___________ data on their sources and can tell DiGregorio, for example, which stall to go to get the best tuna (金枪鱼). The computer is a “learning system,”, so if DiGregorio makes a choice it didn’t ___________, it asks, “Was the fish not available? Was it damaged?” All that information is fed back in for next time.
Then, what can a fishmonger see that a computer can’t? DeGregorio showed me his part of the ___________ process. “I’m assessing a few things,” he said. First, ___________. Fish should have “nice” slime(粘液). Then, smell. He sniffed the air above the box. “when fish goes bad, it smells like ammonia.” Besides, to get the best stuff, “Fishmongers have to have a relationship with you. To trust you.” He added.
Is he ever __________being replaced by the learning system of computers? DiGregorio shrugged. “By the time they invent a computer that can do what I can do,” he said, “I’ll be dead.”

26、阅读下列短文，根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
Yours, Li Hua
“Stop the world, I want to get off!” This popular expression refers to a feeling of panic, or stress, that makes people want to stop whatever they are doing, try to relax, and become calm again. Stress is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health problems.
There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can increase the pulse rate, make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can affect the respiratory(呼吸的) system. It can lead to asthma and cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach. It can cause stomachaches and problems of digesting food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress.
Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They may have panic attacks and feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they often overreact to little problems. For example, a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or nervous.
Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses. Depression, an extreme feeling of sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress. If stress is allowed to continue, then one's mental health is put at risk.
It is obvious that stress is a serious problem. It attacks the body. It affects the emotions. Untreated, it may eventually result in mental illness. Stress has a great influence on the health, our feelings, and our minds. So, reduce stress: stop the world and rest for a while.
