21、Why was school created?【1】Especially on test days, many students wonder exactly why they’re being subjected to such terrible and unusual punishment!
If you’re honest with yourself, though, you know what a great place school is.【2】. Sure, tests can be stressful, but think of how boring life would be if you didn’t get to learn new things and see other people so often!
Schools are not a new invention. You may have seen some old one-room schoolhouses that have been around for several hundred years or more.【3】.
In fact, education dates back to the very first humans ever to live on Earth. Why? To survive, every generation has found it necessary to pass on its knowledge, skills, values, and traditions to the next generation. How can they do this? Education! Each subsequent generation (后代) must be taught these things.
【4】They educated young people within the family unit. Over time, however, populations grew and societies formed.
Rather than every family being responsible for education, people soon found out that it would be easier and more efficient to have a small group of adults teach a larger group of children.【5】.

B．The earliest schools, though, date back thousands of years.
C．At that time, schools focused on reading, writing, and maths.
D．Ancient schools weren’t like the schools we know today, though.
E．We’re sure that’s a question that every student asks from time to time.
F．The earliest human beings didn’t need schools to pass along information.
G．You have fun, learn all kinds of interesting things, and get to spend time with your friends.
22、WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CAR RENTAL IN CANADA
When you fly into Canada you don’t have many choices. A car is often the only way to reach the spectacular destinations which Canada is famous for. Most major car rental companies have offices at airports, towns and cities across the country.
What do you need in order to rent a car in Canada?
● Valid Driver’s license and International Driver’s Permit if your license is not in English or French.
● When picking up your car, you may have to show your passport and a return airline ticket.
● Credit Card for the deposit—Renting a car in Canada without a credit card is impossible.
Fly-Drive Packages from Home
You may get the best deal on car rental if you book a fly-drive package from home or if you book a long time in advance. Rental coast varies to a great extent, depending on the time of year, type of vehicle and length of rental.
Minimum Age
The driver has to be at least 21 years old and have a minimum of 12 months of driving experience in order to rent a car in Canada. A “Young Renter Fee” will be applied to your car rental, if you are between the ages of 21 and 24 and will be charged on top of the rental rate.
Insurance
Most car rental companies in Canada offer a collision damage waiver (CDW) for an additional charge. Some credit card companies include CDW insurance on car rentals when you use their cards to pay for the rental. Check your credit card’s terms and conditions.
Fuel and Service Stations
Most rental cars use unleaded gas. Remember, driving distances in Canada are long and a large amount of your vacation budget will go towards gasoline. Filling up in larger cities is usually cheaper than in small towns. If you are heading up to the Northwest Territories, gas prices will be much higher than in the south.
Cross-Border Travel
Some rental companies don’t allow their cars to drive across borders, like from Canada to the US or across provinces. If this is the case, watch out; GPS may be used to track your route.
【1】You’ll have to pay extra fees for your car rental in Canada if you________.
A. book a fly-drive package from home
B. are 22 with one-year driving experience
C. use a credit card offering CDW insurance
D. have no passport or return airline ticket
【2】What are you encouraged to do when you rent a car in Canada?
A. Use GPS to find your way. B. Provide a license in English.
C. Fill up the car in large cities. D. Drive across borders to America.
23、 With the weather getting hot, bites caused by mosquitoes not only annoy people, but can result in many infectious diseases. Even when people wear long clothes, mosquitoes' complex biting mechanism enables them to bite some of them through.
It would be great if clothing could be used to completely prevent people from getting bitten. Researchers tested graphene (石墨烯), a material that is incredibly thin but really strong, in order to find out if it can make clothing resistant to mosquitoes.
In the lab experiment, volunteers exposed a small patch of skin on their arm or hand to roughly 100 mosquitoes for five minutes at a time. Researchers tested three different situations: volunteers wearing no protection, wearing cheesecloth (薄纱棉布), or wearing cheesecloth plus a thin graphene layer under it.
A video camera was then used to record and quantify mosquitoes' behavior, including whether they landed on the skin, how long they stayed there, and whether they began to draw blood. The number of bites each volunteer got was also calculated based on how many swellings developed on their skin afterward. Finally, researchers dropped a little water or sweat on top of the graphene layer and studied the consequence, and they also tested a slightly different graphene layer called "reduced graphene".
As a result, the number of mosquito bites on naked skin was the highest, about 16 on average; skin only protected by cheesecloth got the second, approximately 10 per five minutes' exposure. The exciting finding was that there was no swelling developing on skin covered by the thin graphene layer under cheesecloth, which means the material is effective at preventing mosquito bites. The mosquitoes landed on skin totally uncovered or covered in cheesecloth about 23 times on average, and stayed for one to two minutes. Comparatively, the mosquitoes landed on skin covered in the graphene layer fewer than 10 times, and the length of their stay was much shorter. Besides, water or sweat can ruin the graphene layer, which allows mosquitoes to bite through it. But fortunately, the number of mosquito bites in either dry or wet conditions can be lowered as long as the graphene material is improved to a certain extent.
【1】Why did researchers conduct the experiment?
A.To record the behavior of mosquitoes.
B.To find a substance to prevent mosquito bites.
C.To find a solution to stop infectious diseases.
D.To test graphene's effectiveness in preventing mosquito bites.
【2】What does the underlined word "draw" in Pargraph 4 probably mean?
A.bleed B.lose C.test D.suck
【3】In which way did researchers draw a conclusion?
A.By analyzing the reasons. B.By comparing the statistics.
C.By classifying three situations. D.By recording mosquitoes' behavior.
【4】Which of the following shows how the text is developed?
A.Cause-effect. B.Opinion-fact.
C.Assumption-conclusion. D.Phenomenon-evaluation.
24、On Wednesday, 16-year-old Aava Murto took over for a day as prime minister of Finland. The move was part of an international effort called “Girls Takeover”, designed to bring attention to the rights of girls. Finland’s prime minister, Sanna Marin, handed over the position to Aava and showed her how things worked. Though Aava didn’t make any laws, she did meet with politicians, speak to reporters, and give a speech.
Girls Takeover is a worldwide program run by a group called Plan International. The program allows girls around the world to temporarily take over positions normally held by leaders of all different kinds.
This is Finland’s fourth year of taking part in the program. In addition to Aava taking over as prime minister, other girls took charge of other businesses, including a magazine, a university, and Rovio Entertainment, the company behind the Angry Birds video game. This year, the focus of Girls Takeover is on equality for gifts in technology. Aava normally spends a lot of her time working to promote climate action and human rights. But on Wednesday, she focused on technology in her speech.
“Inequality affects many of us girls globally and affects our lives in a variety of ways,” she said. Aava pointed out that most people have always assumed that boys are interested in technology and that girls aren’t, which is against the fact and can make it harder for girls to master these skills.
Aava said that since up to 90% of jobs in the future will rely on digital skills, it’s important to make it easy for everyone to develop these abilities. Aava notes that this is especially important in poorer countries where technology isn’t as cheap or as common. “Girls, too, have a digital future,” she said. “And that is why girls should have a voice in technology.”
Several other countries around the world are taking part in Girls Takeover, including the Dominican Republic, Kenya, Paraguay, Peru, Sudan, and Vietnam.
【1】Why was Aava Murto able to serve as Finland’s prime minister for one day?
A．Because of a global program.

【2】What does paragraph 3 imply?
A．Aava has taken many different leaders’roles before.
B．Aava always devotes herself to speeches on technology.
C．The focus of Girls Takeover may vary from year to year.
D．Girls Takeover has been held in Finland for over a decade.
【3】What mainly makes girls have greater difficulty mastering technology skills?
A．Their limited access to technology.
B．Their lack of interest in technology.
C．The different social responsibilities.
D．The long-held wrong public concept.
【4】Which of the following reflects Aava’s opinion?
A．Girls’voice in technology matters more.
B．Inequality has little effect on girls worldwide.
