21、In a foreign country, a man visited a local restaurant. He didn’t speak their language. He ordered something indecipherable off the menu. When the waiter brought him a plate of delicious looking fried noodles, he smiled and made an OK sign at the waiter with his thumb and forefinger linked in a circle. Looking angry, the waiter then picked up the dish and thrown it to his lap. What he did wrong, he wondered. Well, nothing is quite as it seems when it comes to using hand gesture in another country.
Gestures have been used to replace words in many countries, and they are often specific to a given culture. Gesture may mean something complimentary in one culture, but is highly offensive in another.
The gesture “thumb-up” is commonly misinterpreted. In English, it is popularly known as ‘thumbs up’, despite the fact that the action is commonly performed with only one hand. English-speaking Caucasians use it to signal ‘OK’, which is the same meaning as O.K. ring gesture. The two can in fact be used almost interchangeably.
Avoid using this gesture in Southern Sardina or Northern Greece unless you want to invite a fight. While American, British and Australian would use the thumb up to signal hitch-hiking to the drivers, this message will not encourage a Greek driver or motorist to stop to give them a ride.
There are no right or wrong signals, only cultural differences. Lack of cultural understanding will lead to disharmony among people from different cultures. When we know what to look for, such encounters with other cultures are actually very interesting, fascinating and fun. It is certainty a great topic to discuss over a cup of coffee and cakes.
【1】What did the man in the first paragraph do wrong?
A. He misunderstood the waiter. B. He didn’t realize cultural differences.
C. He ordered something off the menu. D. He made the signal in a rude way.
【2】What does the underlined word in the second paragraph mean?
A. Full of admiration. B. Full of aggression.
C. Full of complexity. D. Full of certainty.
【3】What will happen if you make a thumb up toward a man in Northern Greece?
A. He will stop to give you a lift.
B. He will get annoyed and fight against you.
C. He will ask you to give him a HA.
D. He will make the same signal toward you.
【4】What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To explain the meaning of different gestures.
B. To tell stories about different cultures.
C. To advise us to have an understanding of cultural differences.
D. To persuade people from different countries live in harmony.
22、Now some businesses are using Artificial Intelligence as a shortcut to writing materials for them in hopes of saving time and effort. Sure, computers are great at capturing(捕捉) information and recognizing trending searches, but translating that information into an organized piece of writing designed specifically for you? Not so much.
Your job as a business owner is to connect with your customers. To show them you “see” them, understand them, and you can deliver. You want to reach your clients not just by showing calculated content that shows you are relevant. The job of AI is to skim the surface and bring you back keywords and phrases that are, well, robotic. However, through the complexities of human thought and emotion, human content writers far surpass AI in choosing just the right words that can touch and attract other humans.
People who use AI to generate their writing materials might think it will save them time, but the opposite ends up being true. We’re all been in situations where we take a shortcut to save time, and it ends up creating more work. The same goes for using AI for writing. For example, it captures a lot of the top-ranking content for you to slap onto your blog, but you then have to go back and figure out how to transform that forced content into your business’s voice, style and tone. It’s like someone giving you a pair of pants. Yay! Pants! But they are not your size or color, so you spend even more time mending them and trying to talk yourself into liking them than the time you would have spent just getting the pants for yourself.
AI has had much more success in fields such as manufacturing and technology. For now, there isn’t any AI writer software sophisticated (水平高的) and creative enough to sound just like a human.
But humans do have limitations and AI writers can work with writers as an aid. You can imagine AI that could do your research for writing a white paper, or fact check for you. These types of tools could be incredible time-saving tools for writers in the future.

A．The limitation of AI writing.
B．The debates about AI writing.
C．The expectation of AI writing.
D．A theoretical basis behind AI writing.
【4】Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A．What Are Artificial Intelligence writers?
B．Why is AI Applied to Content Writing?

24、Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats, or homelands, are disappearing.
Traditional migration paths take birds through countries that are not protecting locations to stop, rest and feed. The scientists studied the migration, or flight, paths, of almost 1,500 species and decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas. The major danger for migratory birds is development in human society. Building and paving has covered over nature where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another. For example, a bird called the bar-tailed godwit migrates from its breeding grounds in the Arctic flying all the way to the southern earth in Australia and New Zealand stopping at Yellow Sea mudflats in China along the way.
One of the scientists who worked on the study says “many of these critical sites have been taken up owing to urban, industrial and agricultural expansion.” The problem, according to researchers, is that many of these small birds die along their migration because they don’t have a safe place to eat and rest to restore their energy for the next part of their journey. Countries in North Africa, Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time conserving land. The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds. In addition, many of the sanctuaries(避难所) are not wide enough to cover the paths of migratory birds.
One species that doesn’t exist any longer is the Eskimo curlew. “Our world gets poorer every time we lose a species,” one of the scientists says. The researchers say if one country might have preserved safe zones for migratory birds while a neighboring country might not, a bird might die.
One scientist who is not involved in the report says that while some habitats are changing, more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds. He says small changes--- like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of areas birds would be likely to use--- could make a big difference.
【1】Why is development in human society considered as the major danger for migratory birds?
A．Construction activities occupy birds’ paths.
B．Serious industrial pollution damages birds’ habitats.
C．Hunting activities happen more frequently.
D．Airplane flights directly harm birds’ safety.
【2】What’s the current situation of protecting migratory birds?
A．Countries in East Asia don’t want to make any changes.
B．The progress still remains at the primary stage.
C．Some of the efforts of humans aren’t working well.
D．Not many countries are involved in the activities.
【3】According to the researchers, __________.
A．governments need to work together and provide safe areas
B．safe zones in neighboring countries need to be combined together
C．more bird species will die out if they continue migrating through countries
D．human activities should give way to the birds when the migrating season comes
【4】What can we know about the migratory birds according to the passage?
A．They always travel from the north to the south.
B．They need to stop during the migration to correct directions.
