21、The term“Metaverse”(元宇宙)is the latest buzzword(流行语)to capture the tech industry’s imagination. It enjoys such popularity that Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, has announced recently that he’s changing his company’s name to Meta Platforms Inc. in order to engage in the creative new trend.
This might be the biggest thing to happen to the metaverse since the science fiction writer Neal Stephenson invented the term for his 1992 novel Snow Crash. But Zuckerberg and his team are hardly the only tech giants with ideas on how the metaverse should take shape.
What is the metaverse? Zuckerberg has described it as a “virtual environment” you can go inside of rather than just looking at on a screen. Essentially, it’s a world of interconnected virtual communities where people can meet, work and play, by using virtual reality glasses, smartphone or other devices. The metaverse also could be a game-changer for the work-from-home shift during the COVID-19. Instead of only seeing co-workers on a video call, employees could even join them in a virtual office.
However, Zuckerberg’s support for the metaverse contradicts a central belief of its biggest enthusiasts. They regard the metaverse as online culture’s liberation from tech platforms like Facebook that not only take control of people’s accounts, photos and posts, but also trade off what they collected from that data. “We want to be able to move around the Internet with ease, but we also want to be able to move around the Internet in a way we’re not tracked and monitored, ” said Steve Jang, who focuses on crypto-currency(数字货币)technology.
When it comes to Facebook trying to lead the way into a virtual world, there is a growing concern among some people that it could require even more personal data and cause greater risks for information abuse when the company hasn’t fixed those problems in its current platforms.
【1】Why is Zuckerberg changing the name of his company?
A．Because he likes to found the metaverse.
B．Because he intends to get involved in the metaverse.
C．Because he wants to draw public attention.
D．Because he plans to quit his present business.
【2】What can people do in the Metaverse?
A．Do everything in the real world.
B．Have meetings in the virtual office.
C．Defeat the pandemic.
D．See co-workers in person.
【3】What can be inferred about the central belief of Metaverse fans?
A．The metaverse should be tracked by tech platforms.
B．Tech platforms should possess and trade users’ data.
C．Crypto-currency technology should be monitored.
D．Users should have control over their own data.
【4】What is some people’s attitude towards Facebook’s attempt to guide the metaverse?
A．Optimistic.
B．Neutral.
C．Worried.
D．Pessimistic.
22、 This is a true story that happened in Japan. In order to renovate the house, a Japanese tore open the walls. Japanese houses normally have a empty space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard(蜥蜴) stuck there because a nail from outside was hammered into one of its feet. He saw this, feeling pity and curious. When he checked the nail, he found it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.
What happened? The lizard had survived in such a position for 10 years! It has been in a dark wall partition (夹层) for 10 years without moving! Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step—since its foot was nailed! So he stopped his work and observed the lizard: What has it been doing? What and how has it been eating? Later, he didn't know from where another lizard appeared, with food in its mouth. Ah! He was astonished and touched deeply. The free lizard had been feeding the stuck one for the past 10 years.
Such love, a beautiful love! Such love happened with this tiny creature… What can love do? It can do wonders! Just think about it: one lizard had been feeding the other one untiringly for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner. If a small creature like a lizard can love like this, just imagine how we can love if we try.

23、 A Wisconsin mom makes mini-me toys as unique as the children who embrace them.
As a social worker using play therapy in the 1990s to help children through their cancer treatment, Amy Jandrisevits wished she could comfort her patients with dolls that bore their all-too-familiar hair loss and surgery scars. “I would clear up Goodwill for bald Cabbage Patch Kids because that was the closest thing I could find. ”she says. “I thought these kids need something that looks like they do. ”The idea stuck with Jandrisevits after she left social work in 2001 to start a family. Then in 2015, a mom whose daughter lost a leg to amputation(截肢) asked Jandrisevits, handy with a sewing machine, if she could craft a mini-me doll for the girl.
After Jandrisevits posted a photo of the legless doll on Facebook, orders poured in for likeness with everything from albinism(白化病) to birthmarks. “Differences make kids feel isolated and judged, ”she says, “with a doll, a child sees I am not the only one who looks this way. . . and beautiful enough to be a doll.” Jandrisevits, 46, has since crafted nearly 400 custom dolls with her New Berlin, Wis, dining room table, with donors often covering the $ 100 cost through Jandrisevits’s nonprofit A Doll Like Me. The mom of three insisted on making each doll herself with help from her mother and a friend.
For Keagan Cameron, 2, whose rare skin condition has him covered in birthmarks, Jandrisevits matched the doll’s spot exactly. “That was the most amazing thing,” says Keagan’s mom, Joy.
Brian Grassi of Coventry, R. I. , says she wept like a baby when a doll came in the mail for his daughter Emma, born three months later in October without her lower left arm. “Seeing my daughter with her doll, it makes me think about her future, not her limitations.”
【1】What inspired Jandrisevits to make Mini-me toys?
A.Her own family condition. B.Her hair loss and surgery scars.

A.making Mini-me toys cost a lot.
B.mini-me toys have won great popularity.
C.Jandrisevits made the Mini-me toys all by herself.
D.A Doll Like Me is an organization to raise fund for children in need.
【3】What is the passage mainly about?
A.Mini-me toys comfort kids. B.Dolls make kids happy.
C.Children enjoy dolls’ company. D.A mom likes making mini-me toys.
【4】 How would you describe Jandrisevits?

25、Oleita, a 26-year-old environmentalist from Detroit, thinks she may have a partial solution for two problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. She is encouraging snack lovers to donate their _________ chip bags rather than throw them away, so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.
The idea came to Oleita two years ago when she came across a woman in England_________ viewers how to put chip bags together to make sleeping bags on Facebook. _________, she decided to use that video as a blueprint to start the Chip Bag Project.
Oleita and her volunteers get chip bags of all brands and sizes. After cleaning them in soapy hot water, they _________ them open, lay them flat and iron them together. They use the material from old coats to _________ the insides. Each sleeping bag requires 150 chip bags and takes around four hours to complete.
Since 2020, the project has _________ more than 800, 000 chip bags and, as of last December, created 110 sleeping bags. Sure, it would be simpler to _________ money to buy new sleeping bags.
