21、Everyone has some opinion about history, no matter how ill-informed．Walking through a parking lot in a university in Miami, I noticed a bumper sticker （车尾贴纸） that said, “Ruin a Liberal’s （自由派） Day—Recite Historical Fact!” But Marwick thinks this sort of opinion is just fine; it is unavoidable that we all feel a sense of ownership of history.
History never stands still, as Marwick says at the beginning of The Nature of History, “The shape and content of history, too, vary according to the methods and materials available to different generations.” Marwick’s goal is to explain, in plain language, the changes in the way history is done up to the present; one method is to connect history with advances in the physical sciences. Marwick examines a number of case studies toward the end of the book. He ends the book with a refreshing collection of aphorisms （格言） about history. History truly belongs to each and every man and we all belong to history; with the proper education, history can be made more accessible to everyone.
Marwick relates how inventions and the physical sciences have driven historical changes. Dropping a ball in a vacuum will reveal the same properties （性质） each time the experiment is conducted, providing the conditions are the same. But historians obviously do not have the luxury of reproducing such conditions; historians view the past through the present which depends on invention and science.
By looking at the changing nature of history, Marwick feels the study progressing. Although Marwick suspects some people would accuse a historian of creating job security with the endless views of the past, he insists it is imperative based on the philosophy, science, and new materials of the age. History, according to Marwick, must be for everyone and not remain locked behind the walls of academia.
【1】The author mentions the bumper sticker in order to ________.
A．show his own opinion about history
B．introduce the readers to Marwick
C．explain the freedom of understanding history
D．make the readers know about the argument between historians
【2】Which of the following best describes the statement “History never stands still”?
A．Marwick explains the changes in the way history is done up to the present.
B．Marwick connects history with advances in the physical sciences.
C．He ends the book with a refreshing collection of aphorisms about history.
D．The shape and content of history vary according to the methods and materials available.
【3】In paragraph 3, Marwick gives the example of dropping a ball in a vacuum to prove ______.
A．the changeable nature of history
B．the difficulty of historical study
C．changeable ways of historical study
D．the difficulty of scientific study
【4】The text is intended to ________.
A．state a historian’s ideas
B．argue against a historian
C．attract readers to study history
D．describe the story of a historian
22、 Did you know that badminton is also a fast-paced competitive sport? Badminton has been a Summer Olympic sport since 1992. Para-badminton will be included in the 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo. Here is what you need to know if your child is interested in badminton.
Badminton is played on a 44-foot-long rectangular (矩形的) court that is 17 feet wide for singles and 20 feet wide for doubles. It is the only sport that has mixed doubles events in the Olympic Games. It is divided in the middle by a net placed 5 feet off the ground, like volleyball, not at ground level like tennis.
In competition, each match is a set of three games played to 21 points. There is a one-minute break when a player or team reaches 11 points, and a two-minute break in between the first and second games and the second and third games.
Age kids can start: About 6 years old.
Best for kids who: Have good skills, are patient and hardworking, and can handle the pressure of one-on-one or two-on-two competition.
Team or individual: Matches can be singles (one-on-one) or doubles (two-on-two).
Costs: Beginners are expected to pay $30 to $40 for an entry-level racquet (球拍). Badminton shoes are similar in price to other athletic shoes. Join a club or team for lessons. A one-hour group lesson for beginners should cost $20 to $25, with costs increasing as your child moves up the ranks. You will also pay entry fees for competitions.
Time commitment required: Beginners will play for just an hour or two per week.
Potential for injury: Players have a very low risk of injury. Players who wear glasses should use eye protection.

23、On a cold January morning in 2017, four-year-old Eli stands on the bank of Douglas River, hugging a dead salmon(鲑鱼) against his thick red coat. He looks up at his father, Andrew, who nods encouragingly. “Go ahead,” he says. “Put it in.” The young boy drags his feet forward and holds the fish as far as he can into the shallow water. “It’s floating!” Eli yells, delighted. For a moment, it’s almost as if the handsome salmon could come back to life.
Eli’s salmon is just one of 100 or so death bodies that will land in Douglas River in a half-hour activity this morning, deposited by dozens of volunteers. None of the salmon will rise from the dead, but Darrell Wick, president of the Douglas Society, who has promoted this gathering, is in the resurrection(复活) business.
Wick also leads the group’s campaign to recover this urban waterway’s salmon population. “The Douglas Society started looking into the possibility of recovering the salmon in the river in the mid-1990s, and part of a thought in that Lime focused on river recovery in cities worldwide. Back then, the prospects (前景) looked future lefts from the result.
Wick and his group are devoted to giving the river a full make-over. This monumental repair job, supported by approximately $95,000 of funding from the Pacific Salmon Foundation over the past 15 years, has involved recovering the river-habitat of salmon and preventing it from wearing away. Work on the river’s final section was completed in July 2017.

24、
Year 7 students across the UK have been given a BBC micro : bit—a small, wearable piece of tech. Much like a tiny, pocket-sized computer, the BBC micro: bit encourages kids to learn basic coding and programming skills to prepare them for today’s world.
It can be programmed to do a number of different things; it can be a digital watch, or fitness tracker. The device features 25 LED lights and two programmable buttons, which can be used in game-play or to skip through tracks in a playlist. It also features an on-board compass to track the direction of the wearer. Each micro: bit comes with a USB, cable and battery holder. To programme a micro : bit, kids simply need to connect it to their computer and add some simple lines of code to create the device they want. The hope is that all those computer science skills might inspire a new generation of enthusiastic game developers, super software programmers and wild website builders.
What can we do with my BBC micro : bit? The following are just some examples.
Fashion—make a digital watch, or accessories that can display the time, your own design or message.
Fitness—count your steps with a DIY version of something like the ‘Fitbit’, or create an obstacle course and use the micro: bit in a balancing game.
Music—connect the micro : bit to your phone and control your music player, compose a piece of music, or even use a banana as a music keyboard.
Home & garden—place a sensor in the soil under a plant and connect it to the micro : bit, and it can tell you when the plant is happy with a simple smile or is in need of a drink with a frown.
【1】What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning the micro : bit?
A．Its features.
B．Its programs.
C．Its convenience.
D．Its popularity.
【2】What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the last paragraph?
