21、 One day, I was taking a nap in the red chair in my office when I woke up to the sound of a car crash. I sat up and looked, immediately, out my window. Across the street, in a parking lot, a car had just backed into a chain-link fence. The car must have been moving fast, because it was in bad shape: Its hood had popped up. The fence was damaged, bent out in exactly the shape of the car’s back end.
I watched the driver get out of the car. He was strong with a shaved head; he wore cargo shorts and a flannel (法兰绒) shirt unbuttoned to expose his chest hair. I disliked him immediately. After a few seconds of assessing the damage, he attempted to pull the ruined fence back into place, but it wouldn’t move. He tried to push the fallen piece of bumper back onto his car, but that only made the rest of his bumper fall off too.
I sat in my red chair, looking out my window, silently cheering. I think I laughed out loud. This was a ridiculous masterpiece. He climbed out from under the collapsed fence and limped back to the apartment building above the lot, rubbing his elbow. The man—that disgusting man—was going to leave all the chaos behind for someone else to clean up.
But the man appeared a few minutes later with some tools. He got to work immediately, removing one of the fence’s bent support bars and hammering it straight on the asphalt (沥青). For the next hour, I watched out my window as he doggedly(固执地) fixed the fence, even improved it. Now the fence would be extra secure, stronger than before, impossible to damage.
This strange man was actually a hero. I was the lazy one, with my kneejerk (应激反应) judgments, my superiority (优越感) from three stories up. My ugly assumptions, I realized, were all about myself. I would never have fixed that fence; I would have panicked and run away.
Years later, I still look out my window at that fence almost every day. It still looks brand new, It makes me wonder what else that man has improved, and how I can make myself more like him.
【1】Why did the driver leave a bad first impression on the writer?
A.Because he badly damaged the fence.
B.Because he acted rudely and impolitely.
C.Because he escaped and left the mess to others.
D.Because he had a strange appearance and dressed casually.
【2】The last two paragraphs tell us that ________.
A.if the writer were the driver, he thought he would do better
B.the writer gave a quick judgment from his previous experiences
C.the driver acted like a hero and had a great influence on the writer
D.the writer looks out his window often and expects to see the driver again
【3】Which of the following words can best describe the driver?
A.Rude but honest. B.Lazy but strong-minded.
C.Impatient but generous. D.Ordinary-looking but responsible.
【4】What can be the best title of the text?
A.Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover
B.One’s Thinking Directs One’s Actions
C.Treat Other People As You Hope They Will Treat You
D.The Environment Depends on What You Think in You Mind
22、 I come from a broken family. After we grew up， my sister and I could go years without speaking. And that is where this story begins.
My sister Jeanne and I were born only 14 months apart， but by the time we were teenagers we had lost touch. By age 19， I had moved away from our home in Wisconsin to live on my father’ s horse farm in Virginia. Jeanne got married at 18， moved to Chicago， and I didn’ t know what. We lived separate lives in separate states， and our connection somehow ended.
Fast － forward about five years. I was 24 and on a trip with my fiancé （未婚夫） to New York City，a place I had never been. During a day of sightseeing， we were crossing a very busy street loaded with people. Everyone was in a hurry. I had laughed at something my fiancé said， and I suddenly heard my name yelled from somewhere behind me： “ Cheryl！ ” I froze in my steps in the middle of the road. Tears welled up in my eyes. I knew without a doubt that it was my sister Jeanne. I yelled back before even turning to look. “ Jeanne？ ”
It was her. I began pushing people out of my way to get to her. The crowd started to part—even by New York standards， we must have seemed crazy. And there we were， standing in the middle of a Manhattan street， facing each other and smiling. I couldn’ t believe it.
I later asked how she’ d known it was me—she never saw me！ She said it was my laugh. I wouldn’ tsay my laugh is all that unusual， but I guess to a family member it’ s infectious（有感染力的） . It hits your heart and goes deep in your mind.
Since that time， my sister and I have never been separated. We both moved back to Wisconsin. Wetalk daily. Many years have passed， and we are now in our 50s. I truly believe God played a huge part in bringing us together. But our meeting by chance wasn’ t just a sign. I see it as more of a lesson， a reminder not to lose touch with loved ones. It is too easy to remain lost. After our sister － to － sister miracle（奇迹） ， I don’ t plan to let that happen again.

23、 The goings-on in the consulting room have become more transparent (透明的) recently. Thank goodness. We know more than the lines supplied by the movies in which the therapist knows all and gives wisdom to those who, sitting on a couch, consult with them. Therapists are interested in how the individual, the couple or the family experiences and understands their difficulties. That has to be a starting place. We can be of value if our first port of call is to listen, to gradually feel ourselves into the shoes of the other, to absorb the feelings that are being conveyed and to think and then to say some words.
The thinking and talking that I do inside the consulting room is at odds with many features of ordinary conversation. Not that it is mysterious, but it isn’t concerned with traditional ways of sharing or identifying. The therapist makes patterns and theorizes, but they are also reflecting on the words that are spoken, how they are delivered and how the words, once spoken, affect the speaker and the therapist themselves.
Words can give voice to previously unknown feelings and thoughts. That’s why it’s called the talking cure. But just as words reveal so, too, can they obscure, and this gets us to the listening and feeling part of the therapy. Whatever and however the words are delivered, they will have an impact on me as a therapist. I might feel hopeless, I might feel energized, I might feel pushed away, I might feel demanded of, I might feel pulled to find solutions.
The influence of the other is what makes any relationship possible or impossible. A therapist is trained to reflect on how those who consult with them affect them. As I try to step into the shoes of the other and then out again, my effort is to hold both those experiences, plus an awareness of my ease or discomfort with what I encounter in the relationship.
Feelings are the bread and butter of our work in the consulting room. They inform or modify our ideas and they enable us to find an emotional bridge to what can so hurt for the people we are working with. Along with the more commonly thought-about theories and ideas we have about the psyche, they are an essential part of the therapist’s toolkit, certainly for me. The talking cure means talking, yes. It also means the therapist is listening, thinking and feeling.
【1】The word “obscure” (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to ________.
A. cancel B. clarify
C. confirm D. hide
【2】Which of the following is the writer most likely to agree with?
A. Patients’influence has been neglected by therapists for too long a time.
B. Therapists need to think from their own perspectives as well as patients’.
C. It is no easy job for therapists to realize how uncomfortable their patients are.
D. Therapists had better push away those negative emotions acquired from patients.
【3】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Awareness of feelings
B. It’s good to talk and listen
C. Theories that help therapists
D. What is the point of being a therapist
24、 Using your face to unlock your phone is a pretty genius security. plan. But like any advanced technology, thieves and hackers are always up to the challenge, whether that's unlocking your phone with your face while you sleep or using a photo from social media to do the am.
Like every other human biometric identification system（生物标识系统）before it， such as fingerprints and retina scans, there are still significant.security bugs in some of the most advanced identity verification（证实）technology. Brigham Young University electrical and computer engineering Professor D.J.Lee has decided there is a better and more secure way to use your face for restricted access.
It's called Concurrent Two-Factor Identity Verification (C2FIV) and it requires both one’s facial identity and a specific facial motion to gain access.To set it up,a user faces a camera and records a short 1-2 second video of either a unique facial motion or a lip movement from reading a secret phrase.The video is then input into the device, which obtains facial features and the features of the facial motion, storing them for later ID verification.
To get technical, C2FIV relies on an integrated neural network framework to learn facial features and actions at the same time.Using this integrated neural network framework, the user’s facial features and movements are embedded（嵌入）and stored on a server or in an embedded device and when they later attempt to gain access,the computer compares the newly generated embedding to the stored one.That user's ID is verified if the new and stored embeddings match at a certain level.
Lee said C2FIV has broader application,including accessing restricted areas at a workplace, online banking,ATM use,safe deposit box access or even hotel room entry or keyless access to your vehicle."How great would it be to know that even if you lost your car key, no one can steal your vehicle because they don't know your secret facial action?"
【1】How do today's hackers unlock your phone?
A．By challenging you to make faces.
B．By making genius security plans.
C．By taking your fingerprints.
D．By stealing your photos from social media.
【2】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．How C2FIV differs.
B．How C2FIV works.
C．Why C2FTV is convenient.
D．Where C2FIV is applied.
【3】What is the foundation to guarantee that C2FIVgets technical?
A．Learning facial features and actions at once.
B．Being equipped with an embedded device.
C．Matching the new and stored embeddings.
D．Using an integrated neural network framework.
【4】What does Professor D.J.Lee think of C2FTV?
A．It has limited application areas.
B．It can improve work efficiency.
C．It has a bright application future.
D．It can ensure the motion of vehicles.

Then the long cooperation fell apart. 11 began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.
Very early one morning there was a knock on the older brother's door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's toolbox. " I'm looking for a few days' work,“ he said. "Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there. Could I help you?"
"Well as it happens there is." said the older brother.
“1 do have a job for you. Look across the stream at that farm. That’s my neighbour. In fact, it's my younger brother. Once there was a meadow（草地）between us and last week he took his bulldozer（推土机）and plowed a stream between us. Well, he may have done this to hurt me, but I'll go one better than that. See that pile of wood by the barn? I want you to build me a fence. a 2-metre-high fence, so I won't need to see him or his place anymore. "
The carpenter said, "I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and the post-hole digger and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you.
