21、 Winters were bitterly cold in my memory. You had to bundle up just to keep warm when you went outside. You were often cold, wet, slip on the ice, and you’d arrive home to an ice-cold house. And that would mean turning on the heating and waiting. It’s a miracle you didn’t get cold to the bone.
Fortunately, things don’t have to be so challenging any more. Technology, engineering and design have advanced, giving us new solutions to old problems. It means dealing with winter needn’t be like skating on thin ice.
With a smart thermostat (温度自动调节器), our homes can be warm when we need them to be. Many models feature smartphone apps that allow you to control temperature remotely, so we can warm up the house before we arrive home. According to techradar.com, Tado’s model features voice control, while the Nest “knows” your habits and automatically heats the home for you.
Clothes have been given an upgrade, too. Electronic thermal jackets, sweaters and coats heat up when you turn them on. At the touch of a button, or through an app on our phones, the clothing produces heat from the equipment placed inside. Many models offer three levels of heating which stay warm for over 12 hours.
Finally, there is the clothing for the head, Beanies and Earmuff, which feature speakers included in the fabric using Bluetooth technology so we can listen to our favourite music or, in some cases, have a phone call using the in-built microphone. All keep the head warm while avoiding a cold.
For many, the thought of winter used to be enough to make their blood run cold. But using technology, life needn’t freeze up. With the right solutions, there’s no reason why winter can’t be really, really cool.
【1】What do the underlined words “bundle up” mean in Para.1?
A.Fix an air conditioner. B.Take a hot bath.
C.Dress up. D.Put on more clothes.
【2】How does electronic thermal clothing work?
A.It needs to be warmed up before being used.
B.The equipment placed inside the clothing produces heat.
C.The thermostat heat up automatically when the temperature is low.
D.It keeps warm for over 12 hours after being charged for an hour.
【3】Which of the following is NOT true?
A.With technology, it takes only half an hour to warm up houses after users arrive home .
B.Tado’s model can be controlled by saying something to it.
C.With the in-built microphone, Beanies and Earmuffs users can have a phone call.
D.Bluetooth technology is used in the clothing for the head.
【4】What’s the best title of this passage?
A.A Smart Thermostat B.Ways of keeping warm
C.A Modern winter D.An unpleasant winter
22、Eight Things a Burglar Won’t Tell You
Should you spend your money on a home security system? A look inside a burglar’s mind might help you decide.
1．Of course I look familiar．I was here just last week cleaning your carpets，painting your shutters，or delivering your new refrigerator．
2．Hey，thanks for letting me use the bathroom when I was working in your yard last week．While I was in your home，I unlatched the back window to make my return a little easier.
3．To you，leaving that window open just a crack during the day is a way to let in a little fresh air．To me，it’s an invitation which I am more than happy to accept.
4．If it snows while you’re out of town，get a neighbor to create car and foot tracks into the house，or it will be a dead giveaway．By the way，loud dogs and nosy neighbors are the two things I hate most．
5．It’s raining．You’re fumbling with your umbrella，and you forget to lock your door---understandable．But understand this: I don’t take a day off because of bad weather．
6．Do you really think I won’t look in your sock drawer? I always check dresser drawers，the bedside table，and the medicine cabinet．Here’s a helpful hint: I almost never go into kids’ rooms．
7．You’re right: I won’t have enough time to break into that safe where you keep your valuables．But if it’s not fastened，I’ll take it with me．
8．Avoid announcing your vacation on your Facebook.com page．It’s easier than you think to look up your address.

23、Age has never been a problem for 16-year-old Thessalonika Arzu-Embry. After all, she’s already got her master’s degree.
The North Chicago-area teen started homeschooling at the age of 4. She began having an influence on others soon after. When she was 6 years old, she was an inspirational speaker at an organization called Tabitha House Community Service, a shelter for people who were forced to leave their homes due to the situations such as earthquake, flood and other natural disasters.
At the age of 11, she graduated from high school and then earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2013. She completed those classes online as she was traveling for church events and leadership meetings.
She doesn’t stop there, though. The teen plans to focus on aviation psychology（航空心理学） for her further study, a decision inspired by her father who is a pilot. She grew up around airplanes and took fights all the time. Her goal is to use it to determine whether pilots are dealing with problems that could have deadly results once the plane takes off -- a topic that has been in the news lately. For her, it’s a mix of two of her interests.
In her free time, Thessalonika enjoys playing tennis, swimming and being active in her youth group at church. She also has three self-published books, which are on her site. Jump the Education Barrier is written to help students finish college, and in the future aims to help business owners with trends. Her third book The Genius Race, has a wider appeal. It is designed to help people to be geniuses in various areas of life.

24、 The negative health effects of sleep shortages during the week can't be changed by marathon weekend sleep, according to a new study.
Researchers have long known that regular sleep deprivation (缺乏）can cause weight gain and increase other health risks, including diabetes. But there are still some people who hope that shutting off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debts and remove any ill effects.
The research, published in Current Biology, ruins those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep in and nap during a weekend recovery period, participants in a sleep laboratory who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced a metabolic disorder(新陈代谢紊乱）that would increase their risk of developing diabetes over the long term. Although weekend recovery sleep has some benefits after a single week of lack of sleep, those gains from weekend disappear when people return to the former sleep schedule the next Monday.
“If there are benefits of recovery sleep, they're gone when you are back to your routine. It's very short-lived,” said Kenneth Wright, who oversaw the research. “These health effects are long-term. It's kind of like what smoking once was——people would smoke and wouldn't see an immediate effect on their health, but over time people will finally say that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think staying up late is in the early stage of where smoking used to be.”
Wright said that the study suggested people should guarantee a healthy sleep routine——cutting out the optional “sleep stealers” such as watching television shows or spending time on electronic devices. Even when people have no choice due to child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should make sure enough sleep time. They can always leave the less important stuff until the next day. After all, well-being comes first.
【1】What have the researchers long been aware of according to paragraph 2?
A.The actual benefits of weekend recovery sleep.
B.Harm to health caused by the lack of regular sleep.
C.People's habit of shutting off the alarm during holidays.
D.The relationship between body weight and the amount of sleep.
【2】Why did Kenneth Wright mention smoking?
A.To call on smokers to completely abandon smoking.
B.To advise people to sleep when they want to smoke.
C.To show people have known the harm brought by smoking.
D.To show people will someday notice the bad effects of sleep deprivation.
【3】Which of the following statement is true?
A.Participants in the sleep laboratory gained about two pounds over three weeks.
B.Weekend recovery sleep can completely make up for the missed weekday sleep.
C.Kenneth Wright thinks highly of the benefits of recovery sleep.
D.Putting away smart phones and iPads may contribute to a good night’s sleep.
【4】In which section of the website may the text appear?
A.Technology B.Culture C.Health D.Culture

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My adventure short story took place in Nepal, where I did the Mohare Danda Trek — which was no easy feat; however, in my opinion, it is truly one of the best hiking trails in the world. The Mohare Danda is one of Nepal’s newest treks, opened in 2010 as an Eco-trek to help support and develop the Parbat and Myagdi districts.
I’ve always enjoyed such kind of hikes as my friends and I conquer one destination after another. As you gaze upon the mountain peaks, interact with locals, and take in the nature that surrounds you, it’s hard not to feel immense gratitude for such adventures. This is particularly true when we reached the top of Mohare Danda at 3,313 meters (10, 869feet) and realized just how far we’d come.
It was a stunning hike, though my first day got off to a difficult start as I found myself violently ill. Ascending（爬升）higher and higher，sweat pouring down my face and my backpack threatening to pull me to the ground, I stopped constantly to gasp for breath and throw up quite a bit — until we reached the high altitude tea house where we’d be staying the night. The accommodation was rough, to say the least, which was a small family-run hotel with squat toilets, spiders, and no showers.
While the group went in for tea, I laid on the ground, nearly crying from the physical pain from the challenging hike and discomfort from the sickness. At that moment, I truly didn’t think I could do it. But then I opened my eyes to the beauty that surrounded me— scattered wild flowers all over the mountains, feasting yaks and buffaloes, high-altitude villages and the stunning terrain of the Annapurna Himalayas, which were the type of beauty you truly can’t find anywhere else —and realized that if I gave up now I’d never forgive myself.
The hotel owner was very kind, who brought me warm water and some medicine. He also suggested that I bring some oxygen just in case, and I did so, which turned out to be life-saving.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After a good rest, the illness lessened and I felt eager to experience this hike.
