21、It was a winter afternoon when, rushing to attend the final show of my art school degree, I caught the heel of my boot on the edge of a pavement. Suddenly, I was flying through the air. If the past two years studying photography had taught me anything, it was an appreciation of how things can change in a thousandth of a second. Light, shadow, colours, all are in a constant state of flux (不断的变动) — as is life. And since crash-landing onto my left shoulder, I have been living through the truth of this wisdom.
That day, doctors diagnosed a cracked bone. It was only the next morning when, instinctively, I tried to capture some spectacular sunlight streaming into my kitchen, that I had to face the harsh reality: I could no longer lift my camera, let alone us it. Latch that week, a hospital appointment confirmed my worst scar — the arm needed total rest.
Soon, I became cantankerous and impatient. I couldn’t travel, I could’t go anywhere much. Surfing online, I came across the concept of gratitude inter vent ions and their role in boosting mood and well being. A Californian psychologist, Sonja Lyubomirsky, has pioneered research into using a daily photography practice as a tool for enhanced gratitude. Her instructions are simple, but not necessarily cask. Take photographs throughout the day of things that are central to who you are. Take at least five photos a day. Initially, it felt like a demanding task. But reading how participants assigned to the gratitude interventions had experienced enhanced positive emotions, I decided to persevere.
Pain forced me to slow down, because capturing a single iPhone photo was painful. And, yet, the struggle to find anything to feel grateful about, and then to record it, started to dramatically improve both my mood and my images. I began to photograph the most boring details of my days, from my breakfast cup to a red pepper reflected in the window. Despite everything, I found I could find magic in the ordinary. “Life seems repetitive and boring when you don’t notice the uniqueness of each moment and the constant subtle changes that are going on all around you,” write Andy Karr in a wonderful book on photography. I agree, but don’t just take my word for it — experience it for yourself.
【1】What happened to the writer on the winter afternoon ?
A．She went to her classmate’s degree show in a hurry.
B．She tripped over and broke her shoulder bone.
C．She was taught an unforgettable lesson on photography.

A．suspicious of the hospital diagnosis
B．desperate to have my injury treated
C．enthusiastic about boosting wellbeing
D．bad-tempered and always complaining
【3】The writer photographed the boring life routine because______.
A．underlying magic consisted in daily affairs
B．gratitude fuelled a struggle against boredom
C．it was central to the essence of photography
D．she felt like being assigned demanding tasks
【4】Which of the following might be the best title for the passage ?
A．Express Gratitude to Winter
B．Become a Master of Photography
C．Witness Re birth out of Injury
D．Picture this beauty in the Ordinary
22、The term“Metaverse”(元宇宙)is the latest buzzword(流行语)to capture the tech industry’s imagination. It enjoys such popularity that Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, has announced recently that he’s changing his company’s name to Meta Platforms Inc. in order to engage in the creative new trend.
This might be the biggest thing to happen to the metaverse since the science fiction writer Neal Stephenson invented the term for his 1992 novel Snow Crash. But Zuckerberg and his team are hardly the only tech giants with ideas on how the metaverse should take shape.
What is the metaverse? Zuckerberg has described it as a “virtual environment” you can go inside of rather than just looking at on a screen. Essentially, it’s a world of interconnected virtual communities where people can meet, work and play, by using virtual reality glasses, smartphone or other devices. The metaverse also could be a game-changer for the work-from-home shift during the COVID-19. Instead of only seeing co-workers on a video call, employees could even join them in a virtual office.
However, Zuckerberg’s support for the metaverse contradicts a central belief of its biggest enthusiasts. They regard the metaverse as online culture’s liberation from tech platforms like Facebook that not only take control of people’s accounts, photos and posts, but also trade off what they collected from that data. “We want to be able to move around the Internet with ease, but we also want to be able to move around the Internet in a way we’re not tracked and monitored, ” said Steve Jang, who focuses on crypto-currency(数字货币)technology.
When it comes to Facebook trying to lead the way into a virtual world, there is a growing concern among some people that it could require even more personal data and cause greater risks for information abuse when the company hasn’t fixed those problems in its current platforms.
【1】Why is Zuckerberg changing the name of his company?
A．Because he likes to found the metaverse.
B．Because he intends to get involved in the metaverse.
C．Because he wants to draw public attention.
D．Because he plans to quit his present business.
【2】What can people do in the Metaverse?
A．Do everything in the real world.
B．Have meetings in the virtual office.
C．Defeat the pandemic.
D．See co-workers in person.
【3】What can be inferred about the central belief of Metaverse fans?
A．The metaverse should be tracked by tech platforms.
B．Tech platforms should possess and trade users’ data.
C．Crypto-currency technology should be monitored.
D．Users should have control over their own data.
【4】What is some people’s attitude towards Facebook’s attempt to guide the metaverse?
A．Optimistic.
B．Neutral.
C．Worried.
D．Pessimistic.
23、Four Days in the Highlands
Riding one of the world’s best trains is the ideal way to experience the peaks, valleys and first-class food of Scotland.
DAY 1
To pick up the Royal Scotsman you’ll need to be in Edinburgh the night before, thus giving you time to have dinner at the city’s coolest restaurant, the Little Chartroom. Then it’s a leisurely start as you board the Royal Scotsman, one of the world’s finest classic trains. Cabins are small but perfectly formed. Enjoy afternoon tea as you wind through valleys before arriving in Keith for the night. Then opt (选择) for drinks in the Observation Car, or stretch your legs in historic Keith.
DAY 2
After breakfast, head to the Observation Car. This is one of the best parts of the trip, as the train snakes alongside fishing villages and dense woodland. Then disembark for Cawdor Castle, one of Scotland’s loveliest privately owned castles. Take a guided tour before reboarding the train. Tonight is a formal dinner.
DAY 3
Today the train makes its way into Moray, with an unmatched coastline. Head to Ballindalloch, a grand castle. There’ll be champagne on the lawn, cakes in the house and a chance to wander through the ancient woodland. You’ll sleep well, possibly thanks to an on-board whisky tasting that hits just the right spot.
DAY 4
The train moves deep into the heart of the dramatic Cairngorms today. You can take fly-fishing or clay-pigeon shooting lessons at the Rothiemurchus Estate before heading off to one of Scotland’s crown jewels. Then it’s back on-board for one final delicious dinner and a teary goodbye.

24、The Fallas Festival (法雅节) in Spain
It is sometimes strange how world-famous festivals are started. 【1】 It takes place every March in Valencia of Spain.
Centuries ago, the city’s carpenters would empty their houses of all the old wood they had saved over the winter and burn it all in the local square. Over time, the carpenters began to use their old wood to carve different images. 【2】 Everyone would come to take a look and everything would be burnt.
The Fallas Festival is now one of the most popular festivals in Spain. 【3】 Today, 350 communities that make up Valencia work together to design and make two sculptures. These larger-than-life sculptures, often several meters high, are still made of wood, but also include cardboard. On the 15th of March, the sculptures are paraded around the city.
【4】 These will not be burnt at the end of the festival. They are instead, saved and placed in the local museum, which is open throughout the year. During the festival, there are lots of different community activities. Every activity ends with fireworks being let off during both the day and night.
The Fallas Festival always bring communities together. On the final night, all the sculptures are collected and put on a bonfire (大火堆) in the main Valencia square. The fire is lit and all the year's hard work comes to an end in towers of flames. 【5】
