21、 Probably one of the most popular topics in science-fiction of all times has been the idea of time traveling. We know and love such films as H. G. Wells’ The Time Machine, H. P. Lovecraft ’s The Shadow Out of Time as well as a great number of films and TV shows: Back to the Future, The Butterfly Effect. These, as well as many others, are dedicated mostly to one question: how can an individual affect or even change their entire life in the present by making even slight corrections, in their own past?
When I was a child, I often dreamed about a special pocket device that would allow me to “save” certain moments of my life. In that case, if I failed to do something, I could always “load” my life. I imagined all the things I could do if I had such power : jumping from very tall buildings without a parachute ( and “loading” at the last second) and taking up other risky occupations.
Sometimes, I would like to jump into a time machine, go back to a couple of years ago, and make many corrections. I would warn myself about the consequences of my most reckless (不顾后果的) decisions. I would talk to that long-haired teen holding his first cigarette and tell him, “Don't do that — years will pass until you finally manage to quit it. ” There are so many warnings I would give to myself that sometimes I think: was it really I who did this and that?
Having a time machine is an amazingly attractive idea. It seems that having one would make life so much easier! Perhaps, it is true. But what I think more often now is that living without it teaches us responsibility. I try to live each day at the maximum in order to regret nothing. This is actually what our parents always try to do when we are children. But you know what? I am glad that no time machine has been invented.
【1】What's the writer's main purpose of writing Paragraph 1?
A.To introduce some famous movies.
B.To raise a question about time travel.
C.To show those movies are very popular.
D.To show the scenes in movies might become true.
【2】What does the writer try to convey in this article?
A.Unpractical dreams can never be realized.
B.What happened in the past can't be changed.
C.The idea of the time machine is really a creative invention.
D.Being responsible for the present is better than regretting.
【3】What's the writer's attitude toward the invention of the time machine?
A.Objective. B.Supportive.
C.Negative. D.Indifferent.
22、 It’s 4 a.m. on Monday when my colleague, Yi Bingkun, and I finished the night shift. It’s the 50th hour since our medical team arrived in Wuhan to help fight against the novel corona virus (新型冠状病毒). The situation here is far more grievous than what we imagined, with more suspected cases and an acute shortage of medical staff. We are here to bring them hope, but it seems that we assume more responsibilities.
The ward was almost overloaded during our first night shift and we continued to receive more patients. My colleague and I plunged into work without delay after wearing protective suits.
However, an emergency occurred when a patient went into sudden cardiac arrest when we had just changed shifts. Yi Bingkun rushed to give chest compressions to the patient to make his heart beat again and I called a doctor for help.
Though all rescue measures failed, the patient’s family, however, sent their gratitude to us. Their every single: “Thank you” made me feel warm and that the efforts we had made were worthwhile. But Kun brought me more warmth. I once asked him whether he felt afraid about the possibility of becoming infected when saving the patient. He told me that “Yes, I was really scared at the time because I do have my family and my kid. But I was more afraid that the life might disappear in front of me.” I really admire his courage. Our night shift should have been finished at midnight, but it ended at 3 a. m. that night. We found our clothes were wet after we took off protective suits. What is impressive is that my colleagues messaged us, asking why Kun and I didn’t come back with the clock pointing to 1 a.m., 2 a.m. or even 3 a.m. They urged us to let them know we were okay as soon as we came back.
The weather is really cold but we feel warm from the bottoms of our hearts. Come on, all my colleagues! Come on, Wuhan! Come on, China!
【1】When did the medical team arrive in Wuhan?
A.On Saturday. B.On Sunday.
C.On Monday. D.On Tuesday.
【2】What does the underlined word “grievous” mean in the first paragraph?
A.Puzzling. B.Positive.
C.Satisfactory. D.severe.
【3】What can we infer about the patient?
A.He soon recovered from the illness. B.He finally died of serious illness.
C.He was rushed to another hospital. D.He was infected by a wild animal.
【4】In the eyes of the writer, Yi Bingkun is________.
A.adventurous B.lucky
C.brave D.careless
23、Smart glasses could be the next leap in technology
First there was the keyboard, then the touch screen. Some tech companies say a wearable pair of glasses could be the next leap in technology, even if it didn't work out for Google glass. In the future we won't be only limited to our smartphones, when it comes to understanding the world around us. 【1】
The US-based company Snap's investment is this, the Spectacles 3 sunglasses. This third version is smarter than the previous ones. It has two cameras. The comer of the glasses lights up when recording video, and allows the wearer to put 3D objects in the video. Here are some flowers. 【2】
In a very different application, the AM glass by Hong Kong-based Pacific Future allows theme park visitors to have a different kind of experience through Augmented Reality. During the launch of the smart glasses during Halloween, this park became extra scary. 【3】 The glasses are used in theme parks in China and Malaysia, with a processor inside. These Augmented Reality glasses are designed for ages 12 and up, because of its weight and size.
【4】 He can set a blacklist and the skin in the crowd and find the criminal very soon. Armed with facial recognition software, these smart glasses capture video or images, which can be sent to security officials off-site for analysis. Of course there are privacy concerns with any device that comes with built-in cameras. 【5】 Still, the race is on for tech companies big and small to turn an everyday item like glasses into something smarter.
A．So this is our early investment in that future.
B．Smart glasses are helpful in many other fields.
C．Thus the wearer can take a clearer picture of the flowers.
D．Users can capture up to a minute of video with smart glasses.
E．That's one of the reasons why consumers rejected Google glass.
F．So there's a ghost everywhere mixed with the real-life buildings.
G．Augmented Reality security glasses made by Beijing-based Goolton can be used by police to identify suspects.
24、4 Highly Outstanding Awards in Architecture
Pritzker Architecture Prize
Founded in 1979 by the Pritzker family, and funded by their Hyatt Foundation, the Pritzker Architecture Prize aims to honor a living architect or architects whose built work demonstrates a combination of those qualities of talent, vision and commitment, which has produced consistent and significant contributions to humanity and the built environment through the art of architecture. The annual award includes a grant of US $100, 000.
Architecture Master Prize

25、Next week, as millions of families gather for their Thanksgiving feasts (大餐), many other Americans will go without. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, more than 12 million households _________ enough food for everyone in their family at some time during the year — including _________.
Hunger is surprisingly widespread in our country — one of the world’s wealthiest — yet the government estimates that we waste almost 100 billion pounds of food each year, more than one-quarter of our total supply.
Reducing this improper distribution of _________ is a goal of America’s Second Harvest, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization. Last year, it _________ nearly 2 billion pounds of food to more than 23 million people in need.
America’s Second Harvest is a network of 214 inter-connected food banks and other organizations that _________ food from growers, processors, grocery stores and restaurants. _________, the network distributes food to some 50,000 soup kitchens (施食处), homeless _________ and old people’s centers in every county of every state.
A great deal of work is involved in distributing tons of food from thousands of _________ to thousands of small, non-profit organizations. Until a few years ago, America’s Second Harvest lacked any _________ way to manage their inventory (存货). Without accurate and timely information, soup kitchens were sometimes empty while food was left to __________ in loading places.
In 2000, America’s Second Harvest began to use a new inventory and financial-management system — Ceres. It is a __________ designed specifically for hunger-relief operations. It is used by more than 100 America’s Second Harvest organizations to __________ food from donation to distribution.
Ceres has helped __________ the spoiling of food and improve distribution. An evaluation found that the software streamlined (精简) food banks’ operations by 23 percent in the first year alone.
With more accurate and timely reports, Ceres saves time, frees staff members to focus on finding new donors, and __________ more efficient use of donations.
Hunger in America remains a(n) __________ social problem. Technology alone cannot solve it. But in the hands of organizations such as America’s Second Harvest, it is a powerful tool that is helping to make a difference — and helping more Americans to join in the feast.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事．
Last year at Christmas time, my wife, three children and I were on our way from Paris to Nice. Somehow everything went wrong. Our hotels were “tourist traps” and our rented car broke down. On Christmas Eve, when we checked into a dirty hotel in Nice, there was no Christmas spirit in our hearts.
It was raining and cold when we went out to eat. We found a small restaurant poorly decorated for the holiday. Only five tables in the restaurant were taken. There were two German couples, two French families, and an American sailor, by himself. They were eating in stony silence except the sailor. He was writing a letter, and a half-smile lighted his face. In the corner a piano player was listlessly (无精打采地) playing Christmas music.
All of us were interrupted by an old French flower woman through the front door. She had a worn overcoat and her old shoes were wet. Carrying her basket of flowers, she went from one table to another. No one bought any. Exhausted and frustrated, she sat down at a table.
The sailor finished his meal and got up to leave. Putting on his coat, he walked over to the flower woman's table.
“Merry Christmas,” he said, smiling and picking out a handful of flowers. “How much are they?”
“Two francs, sir.”
The sailor put a twenty franc note in the woman’s hand.
“I don't have change, sir, ” she said. “I'll get some from the waiter.”
“No, ma'am, ” said the sailor, leaning over and kissing the ancient cheek. “This is my Christmas present for you.”
