21、With smart technology increasingly influencing all aspects of our lives, it is only a matter of time before someone invents smart shoes-ones that can be made based on personal needs. Called “Shift Wear”, the sneakers are the brainchild of a team of businessmen, and engineers led by New York-based designer David Coelho.
The adaptable shoes can be customized by using a smart phone app. Shoe owners will have the option of selecting a design from a variety of HD patterns by famous artists or creating one themselves. The company’s founders imagine the marketplace where artists can not only share but also sell their designs to others. Despite being electronic, the designs are clearly visible even in the brightest sunlight. What’s even cooler is that by switching on a backlight, users can even show off their designs in the dark!
According to Coelho, the sneakers will keep their charge forever if only images are displayed. Though they will need periodic recharging, active users have nothing to worry about. That’s because the shoes are equipped with special Walk-N-Charge technology that powers the shoes with every step. Inactive users also have options of charging the sneakers without using wires.
The bottom part of the shoes is covered with Kevlar fibers, a kind of strong material, reducing normal wear and tear. Even better, they are completely waterproof and can even be thrown into an ordinary laundry machine for a quick wash! The company predicts that the shoes will range in price from $150 to $1,000 depending on the size of the e-panels (仪表板) where the designs are displayed.
This is not the first time that electronics and shoes have combined. Lithuania-based iShuh Technologies has come up with a similar concept that connects e-reader panels to a smart phone app Via Bluetooth. Whether these smart shoes become as popular as our smart devices remains to be seen, though they surely are attractive.
【1】What can we know about the smart shoes from the text?
A．The electronic designs cannot be seen clearly an night.
B．The bottom part of the shoes can last longer due to special materials.
C．The designers make sure every pair of sneakers is unique.
D．The shoes have to be washed by hand to protect the electronics.
【2】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．What images the sneakers show.
B．How the sneakers can work well.
C．How the sneakers are changed.
D．What technology the sneakers carry.
【3】The varied prices of the sneakers mainly depend on ______.
A．the length of the shoes
B．the material of their bottoms
C．the designers of the shoes
D．the largeness of their e-panels
【4】How does the author feel about the sneakers’ future market?
A．Negative.
B．Uncertain.
C．Anxious.
D．Confident.
22、 Visitors to Rome can now see one of the most important private collections of ancient Greek and Roman marble sculptures. The 90 works from the Torlonia Collection opened this week in the newly rebuilt Palazzo Caffarelli, overlooking the Roman Forum. Among the works is a marble fountain that was made in ancient Greece. Experts on ancient Rome believe the fountain once stood in the garden of the general and statesman Julius Caesar. At the time, it was already hundreds of years old.
The 620-piece Torlonia collection is believed to be the greatest private collection of classical art in the world. It was started more than a century ago by Prince Alessandro Torlonia. He found many of the pieces on the grounds of his family's Roman properties. Wealthy from a business relationship with the Vatican, the family purchased other well-known sculpture collections. In 1884, the Prince built his own museum to show off his collection. When the museum closed in 1976, the pieces went into storage.
“The reappearance of such a collection is a very important event, said art historian Salvatore Settis. “When I saw them for the first time, it was very emotional, because I knew most of those pieces from books, but I had never seen them. " The Torlonia family chose Settis to help with the difficult job of deciding which works should be shown to the public.
【1】What can tourists to Rome see this week?
A.All kinds of antiques of great significance. B.Some well-known statues carved by wood.
C.The 90 ancient Asian works collected privately. D.A marble fountain from Julius Caesar's garden.
【2】What can we know about Torlonia collection?
A.It was exhibited to the pubic in the 18th century.
B.The works have been in storage for more than 40 years.
C.Torlonia and his business partner Vatican began it together.
D.It is considered as the greatest private collection in the world.
【3】How did Salvatore Settis think about the reappearance of the collection?
A.Disgusting. B.Thrilling. C.Promising. D.Meaningless.
【4】What's the best title of the passage?
A.The Exhibition, a Returning Wonder
B.Prince Totlonia, a Great and Wealthy Collector
C.Torlonia Collection, a Brilliant Contribution to History
D.Marble Sculptures, a Combination of Imagination and Creation

24、More than 50 percent of the largest lakes in the world are losing water, storing less water than they did three decades ago, according to a new assessment published today in Science. The key causes are not surprising: The warming climate and unsustainable human consumption.
Lead author Fangfang Yao, a climate fellow at University of Virginia, and his team created a technique to measure changes in water levels of nearly 2,000 of the world’s biggest lakes and reservoirs (水库), which represent 95 percent of the total lake water storage on Earth.
They used 250,000 lake-area pictures taken by satellites between 1992 and 2020 to survey the area of 1,972 of Earth’s biggest lakes. They collected water levels from nine satellite altimeters (测高计) and used long-term water levels to reduce any uncertainty. For lakes without a long-term level record, they used recent water measurements made by newer instruments on satellites. Combining recent level measurements with longer-term area measurements allowed scientists to reconstruct the volume of lakes dating back decades.
The result was staggering: 53 percent of lakes globally experienced a decline in water storage. The authors compare this loss with the size of 17 Lake Meads, the largest reservoir in the United States.
To explain the trends in natural lakes, the team used recent advancements in water use and climate modeling. “Climate change and human water consumption were mainly responsible for the global net decline in natural lake volume and water losses in about 100 large lakes,” Yao said. “And many of the human and climate change footprints on lake water losses were previously unknown, such as the dryness of Lake Good-e-Zareh in Afghanistan.”
And their research offers an understanding into possible solutions. Yao said, “If human consumption is a large cause of lake water storage decline, then we can adapt and explore new policies to reduce large-scale (大范围) declines.” This happened in one of the lakes the team studied, Lake Sevan in Armenia. Lake Sevan has seen an increase in water storage, in the last 20 years, which the authors linked to the enforcement (实施) of conservation laws on water withdrawal since the early 2000s.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One day, I went out of my house and found a medium-sized dog sitting in my yard. The dog stood up and wagged(摇)his tail when he spotted me. I checked him for a collar or an ID tag. He had neither. "Where did you come from?" I asked. I lived in a small, rural town. I knew all the dogs in the neighborhood, but I’d never seen this fellow before.
Half-heartedly, I told him to sit. To my surprise, he sat as I said. "Stay," I said, as I made my way into the garage(车库)where we kept the dry dog food for our dog. I really didn’t expect the dog to stay. But when I returned, he was sitting in the exact spot where I had left him. "Wow! You sure are trained," I told him. I set out a bowl of food, and the dog started eating. I left him in the yard and went inside to read through the newspaper’s "Lost and Found" column. Unfortunately, nobody had reported a missing brown-and-white dog.
Later that afternoon, when my brother and I went out of the house the dog jumped to his feet and started wagging his tail. My brother threw a stick across the yard, and the dog raced after it. "Why don’t you play with him while I go to the store?" I suggested.
After I got back from the store, my brother called me out into the yard. "Watch this," he said. "The dog knows tricks." Sure enough, the dog would fetch, sit, stay, roll over, and lie down following the orders. He also loved jumping to catch a tennis ball in midair. I was impressed-and a little suspicious. This was no ordinary dog. Someone had trained him pretty well. So, I had to wonder: why weren’t his owners looking for him?
We gave him a comfortable place to sleep in the garage. The next day, I called the newspaper and ran a "Found" ad describing our new friend.
