21、 In ancient times, our ancestors relied on stars to guide them on a clear night. Today, we have navigational systems to help us find our way, with the latest being the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS).
The BDS is entirely built by Chinese engineers. With the launch of the last satellite from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center on June 23, the global network of 59 satellites has been completed. On July 31, Beidou started providing full-scale global services. It’s difficult to imagine the dramatic impact those satellites, orbiting the Earth, have on our daily lives.
When you unlock one of Hellobike’s bicycles, you are using the BDS. The popular bike-sharing company came out with two new bike models this year that are equipped with the positioning service. “The intelligent lock on each bike receives Beidou satellite signals and sends positioning information to the data center, which will help collect big data on the bikes and estimate users’ riding demands in advance according to the data,” Chu Yiqun, a manager of Hellobike told Xinhua News Agency. Users can also find shared bikes more accurately thanks to Beidou’s global positioning accuracy of 2.34 meters.
However, the BDS doesn’t just work one way. As the country’s largest space-based system and one of four global navigation networks, along with the United States’ GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo, Beidou adopts a unique two-way communication system, including its ability to receive messages sent by people from areas with poor communication signals. Obviously, this exclusive function isn’t designed for users to chat online. Instead, it plays a role when disasters occur and communications are blocked.
After the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, all ground-based communication facilities were interrupted. Though the first generation of Beidou could only send 120 characters in a single message at that time, communication between affected areas and rescue centers was successful. Now, Beidou’s messaging capacity has been increased to 1,200 Chinese characters in a single message. It is widely used in disaster alarms, automatic identification and information release.
As Sun Jiadong, former chief designer of the BDS said: “The application of Beidou is merely limited by imagination.”
【1】What can we know about Beidou from the passage?
A.It’s able to provide worldwide coverage for navigation.
B.Its last satellite was launched in Xichang on July 31.
C.It’s one of the five global navigation networks.
D.It’s jointly developed by Chinese and foreign engineers.
【2】Why is Hellobike mentioned in paragraph 3?
A.To present the benefits and limitations of the BDS.
B.To highlight the high positioning accuracy of the BDS.
C.To show how the BDS makes people’s daily lives easier.
D.To explain the unique way in which the BDS works.
【3】What is the function of Beidou’s two-way communication system?
A.To collect instant feedback sent by global users.
B.To allow users to chat online more conveniently.
C.To make communication more fun and efficient.
D.To help people when communication signals are weak.
【4】What do Sun Jiadong’s words in the last paragraph imply?
A.Beidou stimulates users’ imagination. B.Beidou may be more helpful than we know.
C.Beidou is currently limited in application. D.Beidou needs to be further perfected.
22、While having dreams is fine, achieving dreams requires determination and commitment. Above all, we must feel motivated on the journey to fulfill our dreams. How do we stay motivated once we have committed ourselves to action?【1】 Here are some tips to help us stay motivated.
★Setting goals.
The first step to achieving a dream is to turn it into a series of goals.【2】 Short-term and medium-term goals will be the stages on the road to the final goal. A short-term goal in our example will be to draw up a business plan and set out a timetable that we intend to follow. Medium-term goals will include raising finance and employing staff.
★【3】
You can help keep yourself motivated by mixing with other motivated people. Their attitude is going to be optimistic and confident, and you can draw on that yourself. Negative thoughts can soon disappear if you are with people filled with positivity.
★Have self-belief.
When you are faced with a setback, don’t just let it defeat you. Believe in yourself and your abilities.【4】 You know you can solve the problem facing you because you have done it before.
★Mistakes aren’t failures.
Often we can learn more from our mistakes than we can from our successes. If a task goes well, we can congratulate ourselves, but we will then move on.【5】 Every mistake should be a lesson, enabling us to learn. Don’t let motivation slip after a failure, but be more motivated to prevent it in the future.
A.Self-motivation requires effort.
B.Keep company with positive folks.
C.A long-term goal will be the ultimate dream.
D.It is easy to forget what drives you to go ahead.
E.If we make a mistake, then we have to analyze why.
F.Believing in your capacity for success is a brilliant motivator.
G.Stepping back and looking at what you are doing is a good idea.
23、A small but shining silver lining: The corona-virus has quickened the shift to pedal power in Europe. The German Cycling Association (ADFC) reports that Germans across the country are spending twice as much time biking as they were before the COVID-19. There is growing demand for bikes and shared-bike subscriptions, and now even shortages throughout bicycle supply chain. For bike shops it's an unexpected boom. So much so that it requires cities to improve their biking facilities.
In unimagined numbers, bikes are starting to take the place of cars in our cities. It has increased 930 miles of new bike lanes (车道) in Europe, “muscling aside cars on Europe’s city streets,” according to European Cyclists Federation. Belgium, Denmark, and the Netherlands are pioneering fast lanes for riders. “Pop-up lanes” are being used for bikes in Berlin and Paris; Rome has painted new bike lanes, in each case taking away lanes from cars.
Women riders are reportedly another big factor in the biking transformation. E-bikes are, too. E-bikes use an onboard battery to boost power when the rider is going up a hill, or just needs a rest. E-bikes have removed “the sweat factor”. Who wants to show up to work or a party sweaty?
The European Cyclists’ Federation states that bikes are also strongly supported by European governments to cut carbon and increase the quality of their cities. European countries provide direct financial stimulation for cyclists.
At the end of April, France announced a 20 million Euro plan to promote cycling after the end of the lockdown. The plan includes 50 Euro vouchers (代金券) for the repair of a bike. Italy worked on a regulation for Covid recovery, by means of which 120 million Euro was set aside to cover 70% and up to 500 Euro of the price of conventional, muscle-powered and electric bikes.
【1】What is the passage mainly about?
A.The impact of the pandemic on people's life.
B.The bicycle industry booms in Europe.
C.The preference for bicycles globally.
D.The shift in choice on public transportation.
【2】How many factors contribute to the growing demand for bikes in Europe?
A.Two.
B.Three.
C.Four.
D.Five.
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Measures have been taken to encourage Europeans to use bikes.
B.E-bikes become popular with Europeans because they are lazy.
C.More women in Europe choose to go to work by bike than men.
D.Financial support is the main reason why Europeans choose bikes.
【4】Where is the passage probably taken from?
A.A guidebook.
B.A business plan.
C.A science report.
D.A newspaper.
24、Some people get worried when faced with simple math problems. And they may rely more heavily on certain brain circuits than people who do not experience such math anxiety. That’s the finding of a new study. Using a different mental approach might help explain why people with math anxiety struggle more with complex problems.
To figure out what was going on, researchers placed adults in a brain-scanning device. Called a functional magnetic resonance (磁共振) imaging machine, it measures blood flow in the brain. This lets researchers see which brain regions are active at a particular point in time. For the new study, the study recruited (招募) people with and without math anxiety. All of the adults were asked to answer whether simple math problems were correct or not. Both groups had similar response time. Each group also was equally accurate. The brain scans, however, turned up some differences.
In people who weren’t anxious about math, there was less activity in one brain region. It is called the frontoparietal (额顶的), attention network. It is involved in working memory and the solving of problems.
People who relied on this circuit less were probably getting ahead by automating simple math, said Hyesang Chang. She’s a cognitive neuroscientist who works at the University of Chicago in Illinois. She reported her team’s findings on March 25 here at the annual meeting of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society.
People who get anxious over math showed more varied brain activity overall. That led Chang to consider that these people might be handling math problems in a different way. Their brains might be using a variety of approaches—and in ways that use more brain resources. This general approach works fine for simple math, she said. But the brains of those with math anxiety might get maxed out when the math is more challenging.
【1】According to the text, people who experience math anxiety may ________.
A. have better working memory
B. solve math problems inaccurately
C. suffer more injuries in face of complex problems
D. have more activity in the frontoparietal attention network
【2】Researchers did the study with the help of ________.
A. some experts on network
B. the University of Chicago
C. some people doing well in math
D. a magnetic resonance imaging machine
【3】What does Hyesang Chang agree with?
A. There is no certain way to change the level of math anxiety.
B. Using more brain resources can help solve more challenging math problems.
C. People with math anxiety use more brain resources to handle math problems.
D. People relying on the frontoparietal attention network less have better math grades.
【4】What may be the best title for the text?
A. How to learn math better
B. How does people’s brain react to math problems?
C. What researchers find about people’s brain
D. What should people do to avoid math anxiety?
