Clueless(1995)

She soon finds love in an unexpected place.

Strange things happen when people fall in love with machines; it’s actually happening with today’s technology. In “The Imitation Game”, which is set in the 1940s, tells the true story of Alan Turing and his team to break the German secret codes to win World War II.

22、If you're looking to fully experience Africa's breathtaking scenery, and have an eye for adventure, then there's only one place to be. Here, inside Africa picks four of the best hikes from across the continent.
1.Kilimanjaro
Make it to the top of Tanzania's 5,895-meter Kilimanjaro, and you'll be standing at Africa's highest point. The mountain is Africa's most-visited hiking destination, attracting tens of thousands of tourists and adventures every year.
You don't have to a technical climber to climb Mount Kilimanjaro; you just need not be pretty physically fit. There are six routes to choose from difficulty, scenery and success. No special equipment
2.Atlas mountains
The High Atlas is an impressive mountainous range in central Morocco that hosts North Africa's highest peak. Mount Toubkal, at 4,165 meters. There's a variety of routes to follow during your climb but inexperienced climbers should note that the hike through the mountain's challenging zones is quite demanding.
3.Mount Kenya
A long-extinct volcano. Mount Kenya is Africa's second-highest peak, at 5,199 meters.
Lying just south of the equator, the mountain's deep valleys and diverse wildlife will guarantee you wonderful scenery and a fantastic hiking experience.
The climb, however, to the mountain's steep ice-capped peaks is quite challenging, making it the most technical, probably, in that East African area.
4.Mount Meru
Mount Meru may forever exist in the shadow of its neighbor, Kilimanjaro, but Tanzania's second-highest mountain (4,565 meters) has its own devotees.
It's less known, but Mount Meru is for the true enthusiast who wants to experience what very few people actually do.
Mount Meru is often used by mountaineers to accustom themselves before trying to conquer Kilimanjaro, or by those wanting a hike with the local Massai.
【1】What do we know about Kilimanjaro?
A．It's comparatively easy to climb.
B．It's Africa's second highest mountain.
C．Its six routes are equally difficult.
D．It lies to the east of Tanzania.
【2】Why do mountaineers climb Mount Meru first before they do Kilimanjaro?
A．To avoid big crowds of climbers.
B．To hike with the local Massai.
C．To get used to the situation.
D．To experience what most people do.
【3】Which is the lowest of the four?
A．Kilimanjaro
B．Atlas mountains
C．Mount Kenya
D．Mount Meru
23、 If you could have a superpower, what would it be? Other than flying and communicating with someone from his mind (which, let’s be honest, would probably actually be awful), breathing underwater is one of the favorites. You can hang out with Aquaman and Ursula, and when the end of the world comes and we’re all living under water, you’ll be fine.
With this in mind, a student at the Royal College of Art, London has designed a 3D-printed amphibious garment called AMPHIBIO — essentially a set of gills(鳃) — for this very purpose.
According to Jun Kamei, a biomimicry designer and materials scientist, it is "for a future where humankind lives in the water".
With the world set for a global temperature increase of 3.2°C (5.7°F) by 2100, rising sea levels are a very real threat to large coastal cities, potentially affecting up to 2 billion people — or 26 percent of the current global population.
Kamei’s little device uses a specially designed porous(多孔的) material that fills oxygen again in the water and releases carbon dioxide. It is inspired by water-diving insects that create their own little scuba diving set by creating a protective bubble of air around their body thanks to their water repellent(防水的) skin.
The technology is easily 3D-printable too, which will be great when we need them together. These "gills" could replace heavy and clumsy scuba equipment, making it more similar to free diving but for longer. This could have immediate applications for underwater rescue plans — the 12 boys rescued by divers from a flooded cave in Thailand, for example, where it took weeks to work out how to get the boys and the vital breathing equipment through those narrow tunnels.
So far, the tech has only been tested as a working prototype, not actually on humans, so the dream may have to be on hold for now. And scaling up and testing on humans is Kamei’s next plan. This may sound unbelievable, but Kamei insists he has a much more optimistic vision of the future.
【1】What can be inferred about Aquaman and Ursula?
A. They can read minds.
B. They can breathe underwater.
C. They often cause huge disasters.
D. They can’t live underwater.
【2】What can we learn about AMPHIBIO?
A. It can produce oxygen in the water.
B. Its user can communicate with others from their mind.
C. It is the unique useful tool against the threat of rising sea levels.
D. The designer drew his inspiration from a certain natural species.
【3】Why did the author mentioned the rescue of the boys in Thailand?
A. To present the success of the new device.
B. To compare the new device with the old one.
C. To prove the advantage of the new device.
D. To show the new device is easily 3D-printable.
【4】What is the author’s attitude to the future of the new design?
A. Objective. B. indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.
24、 The success of any group will largely depend upon the ability of the members to get along.【1】Therefore, it is a good idea to practice a few basic communication skills, the most important of which is listening.
【2】Hearing is simply having sound waves enter our cars and be translated as noise to our brain. Listening is the act of translating that noise as something meaningful.
“Active listening” refers to making an effort to listen to—and understand—someone who is speaking to us.【3】Feedback can be verbal or nonverbal. We might nod our head or say something such as “yes, absolutely” to show our understanding. Keeping eye contact (交流) is also to show we’re paying attention. This feedback serves to make the speakers more comfortable.【4】
One of the most important things: putting down your phone and avoiding other distractions.【5】That’s the only way you’ll be able to truly listen and understand what’s being said. You need to be present in the conversation. Avoid interrupting the speaker. Focus on what they are sayingand how they are saying it. So you can translate the full meaning.
A．Give the other person your full attention.
B．One way of active listening is giving feedback.
C．There is a difference between hearing and listening.
D．It makes sense that there are so many misunderstandings.
E．That actually will not happen without good communication.
F．Listening is the mental act of translating that sound into thoughts.
G．As a result, they might tell us more than they’d originally planned.
