21、I still occasionally find myself amazed at the details our ears and brains can pick up on. My quiet work time was recently interrupted by a person in the room next door. I couldn’t see them, but I knew exactly what they were doing: cracking their knuckles(指关节). It’s such a distinctive sound, but what’s really surprising is that it’s so loud. The sound generated is noticeably different from that of creaking hips or knees--it’s specific to fingers. What’s going on? Joint cracking is the sort of thing that everyone has an opinion on and mine is: I can’t do it, and I wouldn’t want to. I have occasionally made the mistake of mentioning this during talks to school kids. 【1】
The usual suspect in the infraction is the joint at the base of each finger. People pull their finger away from the rest of their hand until there’s a deep, muffled click. When medical imaging finally improved to the point where it could spy on the inside of a finger during the process, the true culprit was revealed: a bubble.
At the joint, one bone has a curved bulge(凸起)which sits snugly in a shallow cup forming the base of the next bone up. 【2】 It’s viscous and sticky, and it keeps the joint running smoothly. If you pull on a finger this gap gets gradually wider so that the fluid is now in tension because it’s pulled in both directions.
For those with the right sort of joint to make the cracking sound, the drama is sudden. X-rays and MRI scans show that at the moment of cracking, a gas-filled cavity pops into existence in the synovial fluid(滑液)，relieving the tension in the liquid. Gas which had been dissolved in the liquid comes rushing in to fill this new gap. Once the bubble exists, it just sits there until the gas redissolves into the surrounding liquid. 【3】 A bubble already exists, and it’s easy to stretch it as the joint extends without making another one.
【4】 This has been revealed, both by systematic scientific studies and by allergist Donald L. Unger. For his lifelong effort on the subject, Dr. Unger was awarded the 2009Ig Nobel Prize. As a child Dr. Unger was criticized for his cracking habits, so he conducted his own stubborn experiment, cracking the knuckles on his right hand--but not on his left-every day for 60 years. By the time he was 83, neither hand had arthritis. But the dissenting relatives were mostly long gone, depriving him of his “I told you so” moment.
A．This is why you can’t crack a knuckle twice in a row.
B．Bubbles are extremely efficient at making sound, which explains the loudness.
C．Gas bubbles in finger joints make the annoying sound, but it’s unclear why some people form them and others don’t.
D．The reliable result is a deafening flood of clicks as 500 children succumb to irresistible temptation.
E．The space in between them is around a 10th of an inch wide and filled with synovial fluid, the body’s equivalent of engine oil.
F．Most joint crackers have perfectly healthy joints, although there has been a persistent myth that regular joint-cracking can cause arthritis(关节炎)
22、The goal of writing a resume is to show employers you are well fit for the job. Adding information like your skills can help convey why the employer should advance you in the hiring process. Another section you might consider is to add voluntary work.
Reasons for listing voluntary work | ★To provide information on changeable skills when shifting careers or industries ★To give background when there are gaps in your resume due to leaving the workforce for an extended period of time ★To add to a resume with limited professional experience (important to recent college or high school graduates) |
How to list voluntary work on your resume | ★If you have professional experience, you should include only three to five most recent and relevant jobs. If not, consider adding volunteer positions to your professional background section. List relevant volunteer experiences under your professional history section. ★If you gained or improved important skills through voluntary work, include these skills and developments in the voluntary work description. Pay attention to any skills that may also be important to your potential employers. ★If you have volunteer experiences that are unrelated to your industry, you might consider including a brief voluntary work section at the bottom of your resume if you feel it will set you apart from other candidates. You can format this section the same as your professional work experience section or write a shortened version that takes up less space. |
【1】Which one can explain why you should add voluntary work to your resume?
A．To indicate you are professional.
B．To prove you have wide interests.
C．To show your fitness for special jobs.
D．To explain the gap in your working record.

【3】What type of writing is this text?
A．A notice.
B．An ad.
C．A guidance.
D．An invitation.
23、London used to be “foggy”（ 有雾的） for the same reason that cities like Beijing or Chongqing are “foggy” today. The “fog” was in fact smog（烟雾）, a mixture of smoke and fog．In other words, it was made by air pollution. In London, some of this pollution came from factories, but much of it came from the coal（煤）that people burnt in their houses to keep warm during the winter. By the 1950s, London’s smog problem had become so bad that the government decided to do something to clean the air. A new law was made and nobody could burn coal in any British city. Within a few years, the air became much cleaner. There were no more “pea-soupers”.
Many Chinese cities now face the same sort of problem with air pollution that London faced 40 or 50 years ago. However, this problem is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve. One reason is that more of the pollution comes from the factories, rather than from coal burnt in people’s houses. If these factories were closed, this would harm the economy and lots of people would lose their jobs. Another reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuel（燃料）, like gas, is quite expensive.
However, the air in many Chinese cities is becoming cleaner and cleaner, as the government and people pay more and more attention to cutting down pollution. As a result, there are fewer “pea-soupers” in Beijing than there used to be.
【1】What was the main reason for air pollution in London?
A．There was too much smoke in the sky．
B．There were too many factories in the city．
C．People burnt too much coal in the houses．
【2】How did the air in London become much cleaner?
A．There was not so much fog in the winter later．
B．A law was made to keep people from burning coal in their houses．
C．Many factories in the city were closed．
【3】What does the underlined work “pea-soupers” refer to?
A．Smog. B．Smoke. C．Gas.
【4】The problem of air pollution is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve because of _____reasons
A．one B．two C．three
【5】Which sentence is Not true?
A．Using coal is much more expensive than using gas.
B．Factories made much more pollution in China.
C．The reasons of air pollution in London and Beijing are different.
24、By the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener due to a warming climate, according to a new study.
At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms (海洋微生物) called phytoplankton, which create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colour varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.
Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend, which can easily affect phytoplankton growth.
Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener.
And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to survive.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.
Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coming decades will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. Dutkiewicz said, “The change in the colour of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”
【1】What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?
A．The various patterns at the ocean surface.
B．The cause of the changes in ocean colour.
C．The tiny marine organisms in the oceans.
D．The current condition of warming climate.
【2】What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Sensitive.
B．Beneficial.
C．Significant.
D．Unnoticeable.
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A．Phytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem.
B．Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.
C．Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.
D．Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.
【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To assess the consequences of ocean colour changes.
B．To analyse the composition of the ocean food chain.
C．To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.
D．To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.
25、Is the west falling out of love with the car? For environmentalists it seems a(n) _________ dream, but it is happening. While those with young families may carry on using four wheels, a combination of our ageing societies and a new attitude among the young seems to be _________ our 20th-century car addiction. Somewhere along the road, we reached the high point of the car and are now moving down the other side.
That _________ takes several forms. Sales of new cars have almost halved in the US, down from nearly 11 million in 1985 to about 5.5 million now. We shouldn't _________ that to a great degree, though. Cars last longer these days, and sales go up and down with the economy. But we have hit peak car ownership, too. And, more to the point, peak per-capita travel (人均出行).
The phenomenon was first _________ in The Road ... Less Traveled, a 2008 report by the Brookings Institution in Washington DC, but had been going on largely unnoticed for years. Japan reached it in the 1990s. They talk there of "demotorisation". The west had its _________ point in 2004. That year the US, UK, Germany, France, Australia and Sweden all saw the start of a decline in the number of kilometres and average person travelled in a car that _________ today.
What could be driving us _________? Fuel costs and rising insurance premiums (保险费) may be a factor. And urban congestion, combined with an absence of parking places and congestion charging, makes an increasing number of us look on the car as a(n) _________ way to move around in cities where there are public transport alternatives.
Demographics (人口统计数据) are another possible __________. It is surely no __________ that "peak car" happened first in Japan, which has the world's oldest population. Pensioners do not drive to work, and many don't drive at all. There is also the rise of "virtual commuters" who work from home through the Internet.
Besides these new __________ pattern, leisure lifestyle are also changing. The biggest __________ in car use in the US is among people under 35. The number of American 17-year-olds with a drivers' licence has fallen from about three-quarters to about half since 1998. Twenty-somethings have recently gone from driving more than the average to driving less.
Social scientists detect a new "culture of urbanisms". The stylish way to live these days is in inner-city apartments, not the __________. Richard Florida, an urban studies theorist at the University of Toronto in Canada, points out that the young shop online, telecommute, live in walk-able city neighborhoods near public transport and rely more on social media and less on fact-to-face visiting. Given those changes, they can think of better ways to spend their money than buying a(n) __________.
