21、It is likely that most people have the shared feeling: how come Christmas appears to come around quicker and quicker each year? Questionnaires by psychologists have shown almost everyone feels time is passing faster now compared to when they were half or a quarter as old. Most strikingly, lots of experiments have shown that, when older people are asked to guess how long the time is, or to “reproduce” the length of periods of time, they guess a shorter amount than younger people.
In 1877, Paul Janet suggested the proportional theory, where a child of 10 feels a year as 1/10 of his whole life while a man of 50 as 1/50, so the subjective sense of the 50-year-old man is that these are insignificant periods of time.
There are also biological theories. The speeding up of time is linked to how our metabolism(新陈代谢) gradually slows down as we grow older. Children’s hearts beat faster than adults’. They breathe more quickly. With their blood flowing more quickly, their body clocks “cover” more time within the space of 24 hours than ours do as adults. On the other hand, older people are like clocks that run slower than normal, so that they lag behind, and cover less than 24 hours.
In the 1930s, the psychologist Hudson Hoagland found body temperature causes different perceptions of time. Once, when he looked after his ill wife, he noticed she complained he’d been away for a long time even if only away for a few moments. Therefore, Hoagland tested her perception of time at different temperatures, finding the higher her temperature, the more time seemed to slow down for her, and that raising a person’s body temperature can slow down his sense of time passing by up to 20%.
Time doesn’t necessarily have to speed up as we get older though. It depends on how we live our lives, and how we relate to our experiences.

【3】Who may feel time go more slowly by the theory of Hudson Hoagland?
A．A child with slower metabolism.
B．A kid feeling ill.
C．A grown-up feeling freezing.
D．An adult with a high fever.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．How Time Flies!
B．What causes different perceptions of time.
C．Live a Fun Life!
D．Time is speeding up.
22、More than 140 sign languages are used today, primarily by deaf communities around the world. Like spoken languages, each sign language has its own grammar, vocabulary and other special features. For example, American Sign Language is unintelligible（无法了解的）to British Sign language. In fact, American Sign language has more in common with French Sign Language, largely because French educators played a key role in helping get deaf schools founded in the United States during the 19th century.
There haven’t been a lot of comparisons of sign languages. University of Texas, Austin linguist Justin Powers and his colleagues aim to address that information gap. In order to study the question of sign language evolution, they first collected a database of manual alphabets from dozens of different sign languages around the world. So a manual alpha-bet is kind of a subsystem within a sign language that is used to represent a written language. And there’s a hand shape that corresponds to each letter.
To uncover relationships between the alphabets% the researchers used the same methods that biologists use to figure out relationships between different species, based on their DNA. The methods grouped sign languages in this study into five main European lineages（谱系）. And those were Austrian origin, British origin, French origin, Spanish and Swedish. Power says manual alphabets from Austria, France and Spain could date back to one-handed manual alphabets from 16th- and 17th-century Spain. But each of those lineages evolved independently of each other.
The study also confirmed the French origins of American Sign Language and those of other countries, including Mexico, Brazil and the Netherlands. Surprisingly, the Austrian manual alphabet influenced sign languages as far away as Russia. But while this lineage has largely died out, remains of it live on in Icelandic Sign language today.
Power says future research comparing the vocabularies of different sign languages could provide even more clues about how they’ve changed over time. Understanding how sign languages evolve would tell us a lot about the way that language, in general, evolves.

A．It was created by French educators.
B．It is less related to French Sign language.
C．It was further developed before the 19th century.
D．It has little in common with British Sign Language.
【2】What is special about a manual alphabet?
A．Every letter means a hand gesture.
B．It is used to replace the written language.
C．Every letter is the same as the normal alphabet.
D．It is used together with the shape of mouth.
【3】What does the author think of the effect of the Austrian manual alphabet?
A．Worrying.
B．Astonishing.
C．Moving.
D．Disappointing.
【4】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A．The changes of different sign languages.

23、 Ahead of World No Tobacco Day (31 May), the World Health Organization (WHO) is highlighting the damage tobacco causes to lung health: over 40% of all tobacco-related deaths are from lung diseases like cancer, chronic respiratory (慢性呼吸道) diseases and tuberculosis (肺结核). 【1】
WHO Director — General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said, “Every year, tobacco kills at least 8 million people. 【2】 Healthy lungs are essential to living a healthy life. Today — and everyday — you can protect your lungs and those of your friends and family by saying no to tobacco.”
In 2017, tobacco killed 3.3 million users and people exposed to second-hand smoke from lung-related conditions, including:
● 1.5 million people dying from chronic respiratory diseases
● 1.2 million deaths from cancer
● 600,000 deaths from respiratory infections and tuberculosis
【3】 Those who live on into adulthood are more likely to develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) later in life.
【4】.
WHO is urging countries to fight the tobacco epidemic (流行) through full
implementation of the WHO Framework Corrvention (公约) on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) and enforcing effective tobacco control actions, including WHO’s recommended “MPOWER” policy measures, for example by reducing demand for tobacco through taxation, creating smoke-free places and cessation support.
【5】 They are responsible for safeguarding the health of their families and communities by informing them of and protecting them from the harms caused by tobacco.
A. What can be done?
B. Don’t let tobacco take your breath away!
C. The Organization also encourages parents and community leaders to take steps.
D. Though smoke may be invisible and scentless, it can linger in the air for up to five hours.
E. WHO is calling on countries to increase action to protect people from exposure to tobacco.
F. Millions more live with lung cancer, tuberculosis or chronic lung disease caused by tobacco.
G. More than 60,000 children aged under 5 die of lower respiratory infections caused by second-hand smoke.
24、In the United States, most cities have public libraries. Inside most libraries are thousands of books — and sometimes more — many of which are available for taking home. Of course, you have to bring any book you borrow back to the library when you’re done.
Libraries help people find information. As the ways people find information change, libraries also need to do something. The Internet is a tool that helps people find information much faster than if they were to look up in books. That transforms libraries, and a lot of libraries have begun using computers and technology to help people keep learning.
The New York Public Library (NYPL) is the most famous library in New York City. It was opened in 1911. Since the library is old, bringing in new technology is not easy. However, it now has computers in every building. You can use the computers to go on the Internet or to write a paper. The librarians will help if you have a question and there are even free classes to help people learn how to use new computer programs. But this is only the beginning of how the library wants to use technology.
In the basement of the library, there is a room filled with computer programmers and designers who are bringing new technology to the library. This place is called the NYPL Labs. Ben runs the NYPL Labs and wants to help the library reach more people. He runs projects using “crowdsourcing”. For example, Ben is currently using the Internet to find people to deal with the library’s collection of menus. The library has thousands and thousands of old menus. You can see what people ate in the year 1900 and find out how much that food cost.
In the past, only people in New York could use the New York Public Library. Now, the library is online and everyone can enjoy it. Thanks to technology, we have a new kind of library.
【1】Why has US libraries turned to technology?
A．Paper books are less popular now.
B．The Internet makes information easily found.
C．More and more people don’t visit libraries.
D．Their complex procedure causes inconvenience.
【2】According to paragraph 3, the NYPL ________.
A．is the most well-known in the US
B．has a nearly 100-year-long history
C．meets much opposition to new technology
D．helps people to follow its transformation
【3】What does “crowdsourcing” underlined in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Getting people to assist in the project.
B．Researching old menus in the library.
C．Teaching people how to use the Internet.
D．Updating the library by advanced technology.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．The new NYPL influences people’s life.
B．Online libraries replace traditional ones.
C．Technology and computers change the NYPL.
D．US public libraries are under transformation.
