21、 Memorizing grammar tables may not sound like the most exciting way to improve your English, but it’s highly effective.【1】
It’s easy!
You can communicate effectively in English with very few basic structures. Simply get hold of the verb tables of the most common structures (the present simple, the past simple, the future forms, the present perfect, etc.) and learn them by heart.
It’s effective!
By memorizing the basic structures, you’ll be able to generate thousands of other sentences. 【2】For example, if you learn the sentence, “I’ve never seen it”, just change the verb “seen” for “heard”. It’s that simple!
It’s helpful!
【3】You won’t have to think or translate—the structures will just come out automatically. This will leave you valuable time to dedicate to other really useful things such as learning lots of new vocabulary or improving your listening skills.
It’s efficient!
If you learn the grammar tables, you won’t have to spend so much time studying grammar. Once you’ve got the basic structure in your head, you can focus on learning lots of new words, building up your listening skills and doing lots of reading. 【4】
It’s impressive!
Even advanced students make mistakes when it comes to the basic structures. 【5】 So, if you can confidently use the Present Simple, Past Simple, Present Perfect, etc., creating negatives or asking questions quickly and accurately, you’ll really impress the people you’re talking to. Go for it!
A.Then, cover the table and try to write it out.
B.This will really help with your language learning.
C.For example, they will leave “s” out in “she or he talks”.
D.You can replace the verb you’ve learnt with any other one.
E.Here are five reasons why memorizing grammar tables is a good idea.
F.It’s easy for you to transform them into the words you are familiar with.
G.Having the structures firmly in your head will make reproducing them much easier.
22、The Front Porch Center for Innovation and Wellbeing (FPCIW) launched a Bear Robotics ‘Servi’ pilot in June 2022 to help ease the challenges for senior dining services. In senior care, difficult as having a major change can be, the FPCIW took strategic steps to maximize the chances of the robotics pilot being a success. Davis Park, vice president at FPCIW, feels the pilot’s success was largely due to the pre-deployment conversations and focus group discussions held. “We strongly believe that a little investment in the groundwork can make all the difference in a successful or failed technology project in senior living communities,” he says.
Clear, open, and honest conversation around the pilot helped to prepare staff and residents for the robots’ introduction. “Change is always hard,” says Park. “The open discussions we had weeks in advance were helpful to make sure residents and staff felt heard about concerns they had about how ‘the robots are taking over’ or ‘this is going to take my job away.’” He notes that the FPCIW worked to reach out directly to those individuals who disagree or feel uncomfortable and to understand their pain points.
The focus on deliberate and clear messaging also helped to address concerns surrounding the pilot. Messaging was delivered in person as early as eight weeks before the robots were introduced to the community dining rooms. Multiple open forums leading up to the “go-live” kickoff created the opportunity to answer questions and address concerns. “We also distributed digital and physical copies of flyers and letters to all residents. And with that, we were able to head off many of the concerns and worries before they became problems and barriers to adoption.”
When it comes to using robots in dining services, Park has a word for senior care operators. “Listen. Make sure to create the time and space for residents and staff to air their concerns, and also be prepared for those who may not be ready,” he says. “And just as importantly, if not more: Make it fun! During our go-live event, we covered the dining room with robot-themed decorations and had the robots pass out robot-themed candies and champagne (香槟).”
【1】What is the key to the pilot’s being successful?
A.Putting in much time.
B.Investing massive money.
C.Providing chances of research maximally.
D.Having sufficient communications beforehand.
【2】Why do some people object to the pilot?
A.They find robots unfriendly.
B.They fear their unemployment.
C.They consider robots unreliable.
D.They think the robot hard to operate.
【3】What’s paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.Concerns on the pilot.
B.Ways of delivering messages.
C.Means of writing letters to residents.
D.Barriers to accepting the dining robots.
【4】What’s Park’s advice for operators?
A.To be sociable and grateful.
B.To be cautious and generous.
C.To be tolerant and optimistic.
D.To be patient and considerate.
23、 The mayor of Flint offered Miss Michigan Emily Sioma high praise on Tuesday for speaking out at this weekend's Miss America conference about the city's water crisis.
“I was really excited for her to do that," Mayor Karen Weaver told TMZ. “I think she was very brave because so many times you say who you are and where you're from and just general information. For her to take that opportunity and use her platform and use her voice to speak up about what‘s going on in Michigan and in Flint, in particular, was just amazing. ”
Emily Sioma,24,introduced herself on stage on Sunday by saying,“From the state with 84 percent of the U. S. fresh water but none for its residents to drink. I am Miss Michigan Emily Sioma.” The brief ‘speech was a reference to Flint, a town with lead-filled drinking water.
Weaver said Sioma's decision to speak about the Flint water crisis demonstrated her impressive character. “I applaud her for being a brave young woman. And it also shows you that she’s not a selfish person," Weaver said. “She could have talked only about herself, but she chose to use this opportunity to bring attention to, and keep attention on, what’s going on in Flint, what’s going on with water quality standards what's going on with this broken infrastructure(基础设施) that we have across the country. "
Ratings showed that 4. 3 million viewers watched the ABC program. Although Miss New York Nia Imani Franklin ultimately won the competition, many Twitter users quickly got behind Sioma, who did not make the final 15, after her introduction.
“Emily Sioma wanted to make an impact,” one Twitter user wrote on Sunday. Regardless of whether you agree with what she said or not- she is shining light on a pressing issue that we have in our state and that is still not solved. That, is a Miss America."
【1】What does the underlined word “water crisis' refer to in Paragraph 1?
A.Water transportation. B.Water shortage.
C.Water reservation. D.Water quality.

A.The Mayor of Flint B.A Twitter Voice
C.The ABC Competition D.A Miss America
24、 Sucking blood is a risky business. At least for the female mosquitoes that need these nutrients to nurture their developing eggs. Not only do these bugs have to find a suitable blood donor, but once they've had their fill, they have to be able to escape undetected—to avoid the big swat. How they finesse this stealthy departure has just been revealed in the Journal of Experimental Biology.
Feasting(饱餐) on an unsuspecting mammal can double a mosquito's body mass. So how does a fully loaded female heave that added bulk off the skin of her host without triggering its pressure sensors and bringing on that fateful slap? To find out, Florian Muijres of Wageningen University in The Netherlands and his colleagues used cameras that record 13,500 frames per second to capture the takeoff maneuvers of 63 blood-fed malarial mosquitoes.
What they discovered is, when it comes to a soft yet speedy getaway...for female skeeters, the wing's the thing. With a wingbeat frequency of about 600 beats per second...the insects are able to lift themselves lightly off their host. That approach is the opposite of the one favored by most other winged things, says Muijres.
"When most flying animals when they take off, like birds or a fly for, example, they first use their legs to push off very hard, and then when they are in the air, then they start beating their wings and generate aerodynamic lift(气动升力) to be able to fly away. Mosquito does it the other way around. It first starts beating its wings and through the aerodynamic forces these wings generate, their body is being lifted off from the substrate. And then they do gently also push down with their long legs to be able to further power their liftoff. But these forces that are being generated by the legs are relatively small."
In fact, the faint flutter of a mosquito's wings produces less than one third of the force exerted by similar-sized but much less subtle fruit flies as they shove off in search of another banana. And even on a full stomach, these bloodsuckers are stunningly fast, says Muijres. "So takeoff phase takes only about 30 milliseconds, which is 10 times faster than how fast we can blink our eye." And they're gone before we know what hit us. And before we can hit them.
【1】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.How mosquitoes get nutrients for their developing eggs.
B.How mosquitoes can find their suitable blood donors
C.How mosquitoes escape undetected after sucking blood.
D.How the female mosquitoes find their perfect partners.
【2】What plays the most important part in helping mosquitoes escape?

A.mosquitoes are lighter than them
B.mosquitoes are keen on sucking blood
C.mosquitoes take off first with wings and then legs
D.mosquitoes take off through the aerodynamic forces
【4】From what Muijres said, we know that mosquitoes’ escape speed is _________.
A.extremely fast B.equal to that of our blink
C.faster than that of fruit flies D.greatly affected by their full stomach
