21、We have a family tradition where each year, on New Year’s Eve, we sit down and go through old albums. This year, when we were doing this annual routine, I noticed my grandmother looked shorter now than in pictures from when she was younger.
Our height decreases with age. The height that most of us boosts during our teens and twenties suddenly decides to leave us behind as we get increasingly older. So we see our parents and grandparents “shrinking”.
This loss in height is observed in both males and females and across continents. Aging is universal; so too is our gradual reduction in height. People typically begin losing their height around the age of 30 years. Every ten years after this age, humans lose almost one centimeter, which roughly translates to about one half of an inch. This decrease in height also accelerates with age. Men and women lose height differently. Women lose more inches compared to males of the same age. Also, interestingly enough, the rate of height loss depends on their initial height, with the taller ones losing more height.
The length of leg bones and the spine determine the height of a person. These normally attain their maximum length by the end of adolescence, after which one’s height does not increase. During our “adult phase”, the length of the leg bones remains pretty much the same, but the spinal bones tend to play a key role in the reduction of height. Besides, the ligaments of the foot start degenerating with age. This arches our foot down. Thus, our height may reduce slightly. In addition, the body loses its lean mass muscle with age due to, in part, loss of muscle tissues. This condition is age-related loss of muscle. The muscle fibers shrink and are replaced at a slower rate. This muscle loss makes us look shorter.
Nothing can really push the stop button, but it can lose some speed through appropriate diet, regular exercise, and general avoidance of alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine.

22、 
You’ve been asking for a while now, so we’re agreeing to it, but there are going to be some rules, OK? This is going to be your dog, not Mommy and Daddy’s, which means you will be taking care of him. And taking care of another living thing is a big responsibility.
It’s going to be your job to feed him, to bathe him and to walk him. If he poops, you’re going to clean it. If your dog gets sick, you’ll have to take him to the vet. If he goes to Doggy Heaven, you will have to bury him. If he happens to be buried in a magic place that causes him to come back to life and become a zombie dog, and I know we may sound like a broken record here, it’s going to be your job to take care of him. Dead or undead, it’s still your concern.
If he kills a deer and drags it to our yard, it’s going to be your responsibility to remove that dead deer. Your pet, your dead deer. If he steps things up and kills a human, perhaps a mailman, as his owner, you might be legally involved in that person’s death. If you try to cover up that death and, in a rush, bury him in the same magic place, bringing him back to life too, don’t scream and cry because a zombie mailman is trying to burst into your bedroom. Your pet, your zombie mailman.
If the zombie mailman kills you, will we be upset? Of course we will. You’re our child. And our child didn’t take her pet-ownership duties seriously enough to predict this sort of thing. If we choose to bury you in the same magic place and allow you to come back to life, we’ll need to make one thing absolutely clear. Just because your human life ends doesn’t mean your human responsibilities end with it. Homework is homework. If the dog’s still kicking around, food/walks/baths—you know the drill.
So the answer is yes, you can get a dog. Or just stick with your goldfish. Your call.
【1】What can we infer from the underlined part “we may sound like a broken record”?
A．The parents keep playing a broken record.
B．The parents keep reminding their child of her duty.
C．The parents are frightened of a zombie dog.
D．The parents are confident of their child’s ability.
【2】What do we know about the pet dog?
A．He is sure to upset the parents.
B．He is bound to kill a deer or a man.
C．He is expected to become a zombie.
D．He is supposed to be cared for well.
【3】How is the passage developed?
A．By comparison.
B．By analysis.
C．By assumption.
D．By debate.
【4】What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A．To show the experience of raising a pet dog.
B．To show the excitement of raising a pet dog.
C．To persuade the child not to get a pet dog.
D．To persuade the child not to get any pet at all.
23、Plenty of films are somewhat incomprehensible, but a movie is in a language that only about 20 people in the world can speak fluently.
A feature film titled SGaneaay K’uuna, translated as Edge of the Knife, is in the Haida language, the ancestral tongue of the Haida people of British Columbia, Canada It is unrelated to any other language, and actors had to leam it to understand their lines.
The film is playing an important role in preserving the language, its director Gwai Edenshaw said. “I know that, if our language is this far gone, statistically it’s supposed to be over. But that’s not something that we’re willing to accept.”
The Haida are an indigenous(土著的)community whose traditional territory is Haida Gwaii Edenshaw said most of the fluent Haida speakers were in his Haida Gwaii homeland. The community generally lives off the sea and makes dugout canoes and houses from local red cedars. Their numbers were ravaged by smallpox and other diseases in the 19h century. A former population of tens of thousands has declined to a few thousand today.
The few Haida speakers are extremely concerned about the language’s future and were very enthusiastic about the film. More than 70 local people worked on the production, with Haida speakers taking incidental roles, weavers creating the costumes and other craftspeople making props.
The film, set on Haida Gwali in the 19th century, is based on an old Haida myth about a man who survives an accident at sea, only to become so weakened that he is taken over by supernatural beings.
It is part of a wider push to preserve the Haida language, including a new dictionary and recordings of local voices.
Mark Turin, associate professor at the University of British Columbia, said that Haida is among languages that have been ”pushed almost to the edge“ and that, while numerous indigenous communities worldwide are trying to revive(复活)their language, the Haida people have taken an unusual approach. ”This film has done something that I don’t think I’ve ever seen before, using a feature movie as a process of language revitalization. It’s a hugely creative and powerful commitment for the community to have made,“ he said.
【1】What do we know about the Haida language?
A．It is forever gone.
B．It is easy to learn.
C．It is well preserved.
D．It is highly endangered.
【2】What does the underlined word “ravaged” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Greatly reduced.
B．Slightly increased.
C．Stabilized.
D．Determined.
【3】What do we know about SGaateay K’uuna?
A．It is based on a true story.
B．Locals contribute to its production.
C．Most Haida speakers lack interest in it.
D．It helps promote the Haida publications.
【4】What does Mark Turin think of using a film to revive a language?
A．It is innovative.
B．It is outdated.
C．It is unacceptable.
D．It is debatable.
24、 The phrase "digital nomads(游民)" suggests joyful people who escape their daily work to travel the world, working with laptops on beaches. Relevant statistics regularly made the headline: “There will be one billion digital nomads by 2035".
I started researching digital nomads in 2015, and it took me three years to develop an understanding of what might be going on. I've met hundreds of people who think of themselves as digital nomads and many more who have dreamed about becoming one. The first thing I learned is that how people feel about the label “digital nomad" changes over time. People starting out often assume it's a permanent lifestyle, but that's rarely the case. One of my respondents explained, “I don't go around calling myself a digital nomad now. It's a bit silly." Indeed, there's still debate about whether it's a buzzword(时髦用语) or a real phenomenon. Some have even tried to figure out how “authentic" a digital nomad is, by how much they move from place to place. And there has been heated debate online about who's a real digital nomad, and who is merely self-promoting.
Most of the digital nomads I spoke to, who once had well-paid jobs, told me that they were escaping from deeply-rooted problems in the contemporary Western workplace. One of my respondents, Zeb, was working three restaurant jobs to pay the rent in San Francisco. The city sucked up all his time and money. This made him abandon his plans to sell recycled products online. Swapping expensive California for affordable South-East Asia helped Zeb to launch his own business. Lisette a skilled translator from Hamburg, Germany, is able to produce high-quality work quickly. She soon tired of the culture of presenteeism (出勤主义) at her workplace. She explained, “I'm efficient and I like to get the work done and leave on time. :Others were obviously scared to leave first, so they would sit at their desks and play with their computers."
Nearly 40% of British adults believe their jobs don't make sense. Their housing is of poor quality and too expensive, and the economies don't provide young people with wages they can live on. With these challenges, it's hardly surprising that those new to the world are already desperate to escape. Yet there are certain complexities that come with living as a citizen of the world. As Lsstte said, "Digital nomads can quickly become isolated." Digital nomads have to shoulder responsibility for almost every aspect of modern life: their mental health, daily routine, income, safety and shelter. Most digital nomads travel on tourist visas, which requires them to move regularly ---an experience my participants have described as disorienting (使人迷失方向的).
For those digital nomads who make a living as professional bloggers, it's also part of their job to sell the life-style. As a result, many try to present a stable and happy image online. Lissette explained, "There 's a danger---when my aunt sees my picture online, she thinks that everything looks so happy here on the beach. Of course, my digital identity always looks happier than my real life." But at some point, most of my research participants feel sorrow for the loss of some aspects, such as location dependence, regular work hours. or an office party. They miss some of the things they were escaping. Many nomads I've interviewed just pack up and go home without telling anyone. Being a digital nomad can be rewarding and offers an escape from the boring office hour. But it’s important that digital nomads think deeply about the importance of community and mental health in their lives. Freedom does not mean the same thing for everyone.
【1】What does the author think of digital nomads?
A.Easy to get on with. B.Difficult to define.
C.Extremely popular. D.About to disappear.
【2】What led Lissette to escape from her workplace?
A.Fierce competition. B.Economic pressure.
C.Rigid working system. D.Violation of personal space.
【3】What is an attractive aspect of being a digital nomad according to paragraph 4?
A.Travelling the world. B.Enjoying more free time.
C.Receiving steady incomes. D.Being free from real-life pressures.
【4】What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?
A.Think twice before becoming a digital nomad.
B.Share your real life and job on the Internet.
C.Have a much more comfortable lifestyle.
D.Resign from a dead-end job as soon as possible.
【5】What would be the best title of the passage?
A.Digital nomads: what future jobs will be like
B.Digital nomads: a trend that will take over the world
C.Digital nomads: an effective way to escape your everyday work
D.Digital nomads: what it's really like to work while traveling the world
