21、Face-book chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg and Anna Maria Chavez, chief of American Girl Scouts, are leading a campaign to discourage the use of the word “bossy”. Does the term destroy the confidence of young girls?
The campaign claims that terms like “bossy” are improperly applied to females, preventing schoolgirls from seeing themselves as future “leaders”. From its first application, the word has been definitely connected more with women than with men. It first appeared in 1882,according to the Oxford English Dictionary, mentioning “a lady manager who was extremely bossy”. As late as 2008, the word appeared in reference to females four times more often than males, claim the Ban Bossy campaigners. “To me, the reference is always in association with women,” says Helen Trim, director of Fresh Minds. “I have three brothers and my family still call me ‘bossy’ today. ” Her father is the only other family member who could be considered in that way, says Trim,but nobody would ever call him so.
Some educators recommend that the word should be reclaimed, rather than banned. “But the thing with ‘bossy,is that there’s an infantile (幼稚的)element to it,” says Sara Mills, professor at Sheffield University. “You think of 'bossy' as being like a little kid who's claiming more than he has the right to claim. ”
It's not just “bossy” under fire. “Pushy” is another Face-book chief operating officer Sheryl Sandbergtarget. The implication is that women shouldn’t present themselves as powerful and confident, Mills suggests, which some women are willing to listen to and accept. Trim points out that many modern female business role models are able to be bosses without being labeled ‘bossy'. And she rarely, if ever,hears the word used within her company. But she says that the damage may be done much earlier in a woman’s life. “It does come about from those early teenage years. ” she says. “I think it’s impossible to ban a word, but if people are replacing it with words like 'confidence' or ‘assertiveness’,we would all be in a much better place. ”
【1】More evidence is provided to show "bossy" is more applied to females by _ .
A. the Oxford English Dictionary
B. the Ban Bossy campaigners
C. Helen Trim at Fresh Minds
D. some experts in education
【2】 Trim's family still consider her bossy because .
A. she is expected to lead in her family
B. she is the boss of her company
C. she is a powerful and confident female
D. her father considers her that way
【3】The underlined part "under fire most probably means .
A. definitely replaced
B. strongly criticized
C. improperly applied
D. eagerly expected
【4】How does the author sound when referring to the campaign against "bossy"?
A. Objective. B. Angry.
C. Doubtful D. Optimistic.

23、 Skyscrapers are the symbol of Urban life.City people are used to seeing tall buildings and apartments. Farms,on the other hand,are associated with rural(农村的)life.However,there are experts who think skyscrapers should become farms to meet the increasing food needs.
By the middle of this century, some scientists suggest,almost 80% of the earth's population could live in cities. In addition,the population could increase to 9.1 billion people during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same.If current farming practices don't change,we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet.
Vertical farms, where urban farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make it a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.
Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming could be free of chemicals and diseases. Besides, crops would not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally,vertical farms would reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over long distances.
Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day,it wouldn't be enough. For this reason,vertical farms would need additional light sources(来源), such as artificial light.
Another way of growing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. This more practical approach may be more achievable than the idea of farms in skyscrapers, researchers suggest. Experts agree that innovative(革新的)farming practices are needed to support the need for more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer,but the best ideas could be yet to come.
【1】What primary problem could vertical farming settle?
A. Poor state of rural life.
B. Shortage of food supply.
C. High cost for transporting crops.
D. Environmental pollution by transitional farmings
【2】What is the advantage of vertical farming?
A. It can produce organic food.
B. It requires little care.
C. It can benefit transport industry.
D. It needs very low cost.
【3】What is a big challenge to make vertical farming a reality?
A. Farmable land. B. Crop diseases
C. Light sources. D. Climate conditions.
【4】What can be the best title of the test?
A. Future Food Needs
B. Symbol of Urban Life
C. Farming on Rooftops
D. Farms of the Future
24、Adversity quotient (AQ逆商) is one’s ability to handle adversities well. It is known by other names such as resilience (适应力) and persistence. 【1】. A person with high AQ is tough and will not easily give up in the face of hardship, and often has the following qualities:
【2】
As we all know, change is the only constant in life. In the natural world, a creature that cannot adapt to changing circumstances eventually comes to an end. An employee who refuses to adapt to great changes such as heavier workloads will give up and leave. 【3】. The ups and downs of life will not crush them.
High emotional quotient (EQ)
【4】. Poor emotional control can make a situation worse than it already is. A person with a high EQ usually knows that the emotional impact of an adverse situation is only temporary. It is the classic “this too shall pass” mode of psychology.
A positive attitude toward life
A person with a high AQ has a positive outlook on life. They will see the half-full glass instead of the half-empty one. 【5】.
