21、IQ is often considered as an important driver of success particularly in fields such as science, innovation and technology. In fact many people have endless fascination with the IQ scores of famous people. But the truth is that some of the greatest achievements by our species have primarily relied on qualities such as creativity, imagination, curiosity and empathy (同感).
Many of these characteristcs are rooted in what scientists call “cognitive (认知的) flexibility”—a skill that enables us to switch between different concepts or to adapt behavior to achieve goals in a novel or changing environment. Cognitive flexibility provides us with the ability to see that what we are doing is not leading to success and to make the appropriate changes to achieve it.
Cognitive flexibility may have affected how people coped with the pandemic lockdowns (疫情封锁) which produced new challenges around work and schooling. Some of us found it easier than others to adapt our routines to do many activities from home. Such flexible people may also have changed these routines from time to time trying to find better and more varied ways of going about their day. Others, however, struggled and ultimately became more rigid in their thinking.
Flexible thinking is key to creativity. It also supports academic and work skills such as problem solving. For example, visual artists may be of average intelligence but highly creative and have produced masterpieces. Creativity is also important in science and innovation. We have discovered that successful businessmen who have created multiple companies are more cognitively flexible than managers of a similar age and IQ.
Cognitive flexibility is also associated with high recovery from negative life events as well as higher quality of life in older individuals. It can even be beneficial in emotional and social cognition: studies have shown that cognitive flexibility has a strong link to the ability to understand the emotions, thoughts and intentions of others.
Neuroimaging studies have shown that cognitive flexibility is dependent on a network of frontal brain regions. There are a number of ways to objectively assess people’s cognitive flexibility including the Wisconsin Card Sorting test and the CANTAB Set Shift Task. And the good news is that it seems that you can train cognitive flexibility.
【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A．Creativity is the only source of people’s success.
B．A driver’s achievement is not determined by IQ.
C．The IQ of famous people is mysterious.
D．IQ may not be the key factor in human’s achievements.
【2】Which might NOT be an example of cognitive flexibility during pandemic lockdowns?
A．Organizing online meetings.
B．Taking up indoor workout.
C．Joining in group hiking.
D．Learning to bake at home.
【3】Which belongs to the consequences of cognitive flexibility?
A．Flexible people tend to stick to their routines.
B．People have a better understanding of others’ feelings.
C．Businessmen are more likely to succeed than visual artists.
D．Older individuals are able to avoid misfortunes in life.
【4】What would the following paragraph talk about?
A．The ways to develop cognitive flexibility.
B．The application of cognitive flexibility.
C．The Wisconsin Card Sorting test.
D．The importance of training cognitive flexibility.
22、 Parker Stewart, a 16-year-old from Sayre School, a college preparatory school in the United States, knew last year that he wanted his independent study on the environment to have a broad impact on the community. In order to "reduce the carbon footprint," Stewart planned to produce enough solar energy to power the school's science labs. Now his plan is set to happen. The installation of 30 solar panels is scheduled for late January.
As he began his research on solar energy, he discovered a useful phone app. By entering an address, he could find out how much sunlight the location receives each day. Based on how much sunlight it receives, Stewart found that his school building was the desired position.
At the suggestion of his science teacher, Debbie Wheeler, Parker first performed an energy audit（测算）of the science lab to see how much energy a typical lab uses per day. Then, he started his research, contacting a local installer of solar panels, Synergy Home, to do the job.
Parker lacked money for launching the project, so he convinced Sayre's head of school to fund him after explaining the benefits of solar power for the school and community. Since Sayre provided the initial seed money to provide supplies and the purchase of one panel, the project has grown to include a total of 30 panels. They are expected to generate enough energy to run all four of the science labs on campus.
"It feels like a dream to think that an idea I had resulted from my AP Environmental class would have this kind of impact," said Stewart, expressing gratitude for Wheeler's help.
Wheeler said the success of the project was due to Parker's efforts and willingness to follow through on the project from start to finish.
“I've had other students talk about environmental initiatives on campus, but Parker had the persistence to make it happen," she said.
【1】How did the app help Stewart start his project?
A.To find an ideal location. B.To conduct an energy audit.
C.To look up specific information. D.To introduce financial aids.
【2】Who invested in Stewart's project at the beginning?
A.Sayre School. B.His parents.
C.Synergy Home. D.His community.
【3】What inspired Stewart to do his solar power project?
A.The phone app he discovered.
B.The air pollution in his community.
C.A suggestion from his science teacher.
D.An idea from his Environmental class.
【4】What contributed to Stewart's success according to Wheeler?
A.His wisdom. B.His bravery.
C.His willpower. D.His independence.
23、 Dancing can be magic. At least it is to 11 - year - old Anthony Mmesoma Madu from Nigeria when he dances ballet. A video of Anthony's pirouettes(单脚尖旋舞) went popular, turning him into a star, and earning him a scholarship. Anthony's story has inspired millions and offers hope for the future.

24、 Guests arriving at the Aloft Hotel in Manhattan or one in Silicon Valley will soon be able to do something hotels have dreamed about offering for years: walk past the check-in desk and enter their rooms by using a smartphone as a room key. The boutique hotel brand from Starwood to Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. plans to offer this feature at two hotels, in the Harle neighborhood and in Cupertino, Calif, before the end of the quarter.
Starwood officials are hoping this will be one of the biggest technological changes in the industry since free Wi-Fi. "We believe this will become the new standard for how people will want to enter a hotel." says Frits van Passchen, Starwood's CEO. "It may be a novelty at first,but we think it will become table stakes for managing a hotel.
Not everyone is so sure. Past attempts to use technology to streamline the check-in process have had mixed results. Robert Habeeb, president of the First Hospitality Group, which is the owner of 55 hotels in the U.S, says he pulled out check-in kiosks at two of his Holiday Inn hotels after finding that most guests ignored them. He found that many travelers will sacrifice speed or ease to talk with a staff member and ensure their room has the right view or location, or to try for an upgrade. Other guests may still want to be greeted when they arrive.
Hotels have never been known for being in the forefront of technology. The industry is often a delay, in part because many hotels are owned and managed by separate companies, making investments in technology more complicated. Nevertheless, many hotel operators have been searching for ways to remove the bottlenecks that can form at a hotel's front desk. The delays are the bane(祸根）of many a road warrior's travel experience. “Everybody has to check in, but we are all doing it pretty much the same way we were 100 years ago, ”says Christopher Nassetta, chief executive officer for Hilton Worldwide holdings Inc.“It' s something we are seriously addressing.
Yet it is still not clear that virtual keys will do better than previous attempts to beat traditional check-ins. An effort several years ago to allow guests to enter rooms with the magnetic strip on their credit cards never became popular . Guests worried about security and were unwilling to give their kids credit cards instead of room keys.
【1】According to the first two paragraphs, which of the following is NOT true?
A.Aloft of Hotel in Manhattan will allow guests to use a smartphone as a room key
B.Hotel officials hope the new room key will be a great change in hotel industry.
C.All Starwood Hotels plan to offer the new room key before the end of the quarter.
D.The new room key may become a new standard of choosing a hotel
【2】The word streamline(Para. 3) is closest in meaning to _____________.
A.strengthen B.simplify
C.change D.unify
【3】Christopher Nassetta would most likely agree that _____________.
A.it's a good idea to cancel check-in
B.the management of hotel needs to be improved
C.the way of check-in needs to be changed
D.it's time to make use of technology in hotel industry
【4】From the text we can see that the writer thinks the future of the new room key is __________.
A.optimistic B.uncertain
C.bright D.Negative

26、阅读下列短文，根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
“Oh my god, buy it!” I believe that you are very familiar with Li Jiaqi’s phrase. Livestreaming marketing is a method of selling products on live video streaming platforms, which now are mainly Taobao, Kuaishou and Tik Tok. On April 1st, 2020, Luo Yonghao finished his first livestreaming marketing on Tik Tok. Data showed that the total amount of payment reached 110 million yuan in 3 hours, which set the record of livestreaming marketing on Tik Tok.
One of the most popular functions of livestreaming is the “real-time connection”. Although traditional television shopping channels also allow viewers to instantly buy recommended items, they don’t allow hosts to respond to real-time comments, nor can television sales data be readily collected to analyze customers’ purchasing behaviours or performance indicators. With this feature, potential customers can get answers to pressing questions and gain a more comprehensive impression of the products, making promotional activities more convincing and effective.
Under the influence of the current epidemic, online shopping reduces direct contact between folks, having a certain guarantee for the health of residents. At the same time, many industries are hit by the epidemic. In this situation, many businessmen walked into the studio with the aim of recovering some of the damage for the business as much as possible.
Meanwhile, the expanding of 5G has created a favorable environment for livestreaming marketing. Supported by the technology of 5G, the image quality of live stream is clearer, so more details can be showed to customers, which helps to provide them an entirely different experience. “With the arrival of the 5G era, livestreaming will be faster, allowing users to zoom in and out of videos to see more details of products. ” said Xuan De, general manager for content e-commerce at Taobao.
Although livestreaming marketing is developing rapidly, the industry gradually becomes a mixed bag. There is no doubt that livestreaming marketing is popular, but eventually, the key to success is high quality of products.
