21、Back in the 1980s, Motorola introduced the first cell phones to public. They were very large compared to most phones of today. Given the heavy weight of the early phones, which was about 2 pounds (0.91kg), their considerable size, and rectangular shape, they earned the amusing name “brick phone.”
The brick phone was a major status symbol corresponding to the tendency toward prominent consumption that marked the decade. Unfortunately, it was nowhere near as convenient as present cell phone models. For the money people paid, they got 30 minutes of talking time before recharging the phone was necessary, and carrying around a heavy phone that was 8 inches (20.32 cm) long and about 2 inches wide (5.08 cm) was no picnic for some early users.
While some view the old-fashioned cell phone as a clunky nouveau riche and unfortunate parent of the modern cell phone, others regard it with affection. A nice, big phone that is easy to find, unlike the very small modern cell that is often easy to lose, may be regarded as a useful alternative. This sentiment has led some companies to reinvent the brick phone. One advantage with a modern brick cell is it may hold a much longer charge than the standard cell since it accommodates a larger and more powerful battery. As mentioned, some are particularly interested in this style because they want a good-sized home phone after they’ve abandoned a landline, which is becoming common practice. A longer charge might make a phone more attractive for home use.
The chances are that brick phones will remain mostly a novelty purchase because most people prefer the convenience of much smaller phones. Nevertheless, the sight of a brick in use today, even if a copy, is still likely to cause comment or memories. Whether these memories are mostly fond or rather snide, it can certainly be said that this phone was a symbol and part of the reason why so many people carry cell phones today.
【1】What feature does the name “brick phone” reflect?
A.Its function.
B.Its appearance.
C.Its technology.
D.Its price.
【2】What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.The brick phone has some drawbacks.
B.The brick phone stands for high status.
C.People pursued a high-level consumption in the past.
D.The battery of the brick phone can only last 30 minutes.
【3】Why do many people favor the modern brick phone?
A.It has a good size.
B.It has some new features.
C.It is cheaper than other phones.
D.It can be used for a longer time.
【4】What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Valuable.
B.Unfavorable.
C.Amusing.
D.Vivid.
22、You can get a clear picture about Deep Work by Cal Newport in 5 minutes. Deep Work tells us professional activities performed in a state of distraction-free concentration that push your cognitive(认知的)capabilities to their limit. These efforts create new value and improve your skill. The ability to perform deep work is becoming increasingly rare at exactly the same time it is becoming increasingly valuable in our economy. As a consequence, the few who develop the skill, and then make it the core of their working life, will thrive (蓬勃发展).
The book tells us the core abilities for thriving in the new economy, which are the ability to quickly master hard things, the ability to produce a high level, in terms of both quality and speed. If you can’t learn, you can’t thrive. If you don’t produce, you won’t thrive—no matter how skilled or talented you are. If you haven’t mastered deep work, you’ll struggle to learn hard things. To learn hard things quickly, you must focus intensely without distraction.
The key to developing a deep work habit is to move beyond good intentions and add routines and habits to your working life designed to minimize a state of unbroken concentration. To master the art of deep work, therefore, you must take back control of your time and attention from the many entertainments on the Internet that attempt to steal them. Adopt a tool only if its positive impacts on these factors substantially outweigh its negative impacts. It’s crucial that you figure out in advance what you’ re going to do with your evenings and weekends before they begin.
In the end of Deep Work, we can know that the ability to concentrate is a skill that gets valuable things done. If you’ re struggling to use your mind to its fullest capacity to create things that matter, then you’ll discover, as others have before you, that depth generates a life rich with productivity and meaning.
【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.Background information.
B.Specific examples.
C.Positive influence.
D.Theoretical introduction.
【2】What should you do to thrive in the new economy?
A.Cooperate with coworkers.
B.Cultivate your skills and talents.

D.Learn to deal with challenges.
【3】Which of the following can develop a habit of deep work?
A.Avoiding any distraction.
B.Taking advantage of a tool.
C.Planning what to do beforehand.
D.Forming a simple habit.
【4】What is the text?
A.A book review.
B.An exam paper.
C.A news report.
D.An economic article.
23、Days ago my wife and I argued whether the stones we threw into the Mediterranean harbor of Ciutadella in Menorca would create waves that would eventually hit the shores of North America. I said “yes. ” I believed until waves met a shore, they were extremely great in strength. But she said the wouldn't. Who is right?
Dave Johnstone, UK
Your wife is right. In their passing, waves lose energy due to viscous(粘性的)forces. In the thin waters of the Mediterranean, energy is reduced much more quickly.
Simon Iveson, Indonesia
I think the questioner’s waves would not be high enough because of air friction(摩擦)and the viscous water. To make matters worse, the Strait of Gibraltar is not on a line of sight from Ciutadella, so the waves would need to be sent back from North Africa or a passing ship, and this would mean a great loss of energy.
Mike Follow, UK
I studied the map of the world, and found that clearly no wave formed by dropping a rock in the harbor of Ciutadella could travel to the Strait of Gibraltar and out into the Atlantic Ocean without first striking many shores and being sent back by each.
Another factor is wind. If a wave created by a rock falling into water travels in the same direction as a gentle wind, it may become larger. But a strong wind can bend it so easily that it becomes completely lost.
It seems unlikely that any big part of the wave from a rock dropped in Ciutadella harbor would ever reach the Strait of Gibraltar, let alone North America. But I admire the spirit of the question.
Patrick Johnson, US

24、If you look outside, you probably will see some kind of insect. If your first instinct is to kill it, take a moment to think about all of the benefits insects provide to the environment.
Entomologists, scientists who study insects, estimate that there are more than 800,000 species of insects found throughout the world. Only a few hundred of these insects are considered harmful. Mosquitoes, for example, are considered harmful. They bite humans and other animals, and their bites can cause skin pain and spread disease. Desert locusts also are considered harmful because they destroy crops causing billions of dollars in damage each year.
However, the number of helpful insect species far outweighs the number of harmful species. Some insects make up a vital part of the food chain. Many different birds, reptiles, fish and even plants eat insects. There are also about 500 insects that people in various parts of the world eat. These insects are considered delicious food and prized for their high protein, mineral, and vitamin content. Other insects produce valuable commercial products such as silk, wax, and honey.
Of all the insects, perhaps the most important are those that travel from flower to flower and pollinate(授粉) the plants they visit. Agriculture around the world would be very different without the bees, butterflies, moths, flies and wasps that pollinate many crops. In fact, nearly one-third of the food you eat depends on plants that are pollinated by insects!
While it is true that some species of insects harm or annoy us, you should not automatically reach for the bug spray when you come across an insect. You may be destroying one of the hundreds of thousands of insects that provides many benefits to human beings.
【1】According to the passage, the most important type of insects are ________.
A. insects that are eaten by birds, reptiles and fish
B. insects that travel around and pollinate plants
C. insects that harm mosquitoes and stop the spread of disease
D. insects that are eaten by people in many countries
【2】According to the passage, insects are eaten in some parts of the world because ________.
A. they are nutritious
B. they are available to cook
C. they are easy to breed
D. they are free
【3】According to the author, the sentence in the last paragraph “you should not automatically reach for the bug spray.” means ________.
A. you should not keep insects as pets
B. you should not breed insects for their benefit
C. you should not catch insects for pleasure
D. you should not kill insects without thinking
【4】The main purpose of this passage is ________.
A. to explain why it is cruel to kill bugs
B. to convince people that insects are nutritious
C. to describe the beneficial contributions of insects
D. to make people aware of endangered insect species
