21、 Smooth balls of ice rolled ashore on a beach in Finland and piled up like a huge bunch of turtles' eggs. But where did these “ice eggs” come from?
Amateur photographer Risto Mattila stumbled upon the strange sight while walking with his wife on Hailuoto Island. The temperature remained around minus 1degree Celsius that day, he said, and the wind blew quickly across the beach. “There we found this amazing phenomenon. There was snow and ice eggs along the beach near the water line”.
The “ice eggs” littered an area the length of about one-quarter of a football field and ranged in size from that of an average chicken egg to that of a powerful soccer ball. Mattila took a photo, noting that he had “never seen anything like this during 25 years around here.” Others came upon the ice eggs, too. “I've never seen this before. The whole beach was almost full of these ice balls,” said Tarja Terentjeff, who lives in the nearby town of Oulu. Another local, Sirpa Tero, told CNN she’d seen snowballs line the shoreline before, but not over such a large area.
“Although it happens once in a blue moon, these ice eggs form similarly to sea glass or rounded stones that wash up on the beach.” said BBC Weather expert George Goodfellow. Chunks(块) of ice break off from larger ice sheets in the sea and either slide to shore on the incoming tide or get pushed in by strong spells of wind at the water' s surface, he explained. Waves buffet(冲击) the ice chunks as they travel, slowly eroding their rough edges into smooth curves. Seawater sticks and freezes to the forming eggs, causing them to grow like snowballs do as they roll across the ground, leaving behind nothing but smooth and shiny “eggs” for curious tourists to happen upon.
【1】The underlined phrase “stumbled upon” in Paragraph 2 can be best replaced by_ _
A.pulled through B.survived from
C.ran across D.took notes of
【2】What can we know from Paragraph 3?
A.It was a very unusual phenomenon. B.Ice eggs gathered in a football field.
C.Only a quarter of the area was stricken. D.The beach was completely ice-covered.
【3】According to Goodfellow, how did the “ice eggs” come into being?
A.By means of sea water buffeting the wood chunks.
B.On the basis of the strong force of the cold wind.
C.By way of the special location and cold weather.
D.Through a rare combination of weather and waves.
【4】What does the text mainly talk about?
A.An extraordinary trip of “ice eggs”. B.The power of wind and seawater.
C.A strange weather-based occurrence. D.How snowball affected the shoreline.
22、 If you’ve ever been annoyed by the sound of someone eating, especially as they noisily slurp(出声地吃) noodles, don’t worry, you’re not alone.
A company has recently designed a fork that connects to an app on your smart phone, which will then play noise cancelling sounds if you happen to slurp your noodles too loudly.
The fork was designed with a microphone in its handle that is trained to recognize the sound of slurping. The microphone will then send a signal to the phone app, setting off the noise cancelling sounds.
The company that designed the fork, called Otohiko fork, was inspired by what is called “ noodle harassment” by social media users, which is running wild in Japan.
“The Japanese, who generally dislike noisy eating, consider it proper and even preferable to suck up one’s noodles with a loud slurping sound.”
Unfortunately for visitors, however, such enthusiastic slurping tends to grate on their nerves, which is what lead to the creation of the phrase “noodle harassment” in the first place.
The company behind the fork, Nissin, is the very same company that invented Cup Noodles, who brought instant noodles to the world nearly 70 years ago, so they are definitely worried about whether or not foreigners are put off by the sound of slurping noodles.
The fork is being sold for a good $ 130, but those bothered enough by noodles slurpers will likely find it well worth the money.
Nissin is only planning a limited run of 5,000 forks for the time being, which can now be pre-ordered only through their website.
The company is planning to begin releasing them just in time for the holidays. Of course, it still remains to be seen if the fork can be programmed to drown out the sound of loud chewers, which is probably of greater concern to sensitive western friends.
【1】From the passage we can know that _______.
A.a microphone in the Otohiko fork’s handle is designed to cancel the slurping sound.
B.all the Japanese will be encouraged to use the the Otohiko fork.
C.the Otohiko fork is not available now in real shops.
D.the Otohiko fork will definitely silence the sound of loud chewers.
【2】What does the underlined word “harassment” mean?
A.disturbance B.preference
C.cancellation D.division
【3】What can we know about Nissin?
A.Nissin wants to advertise a new kind of Cup Noodles by inventing the new fork.
B.Nissin has already produced 5,000 forks for the holidays.
C.Nissin was inspired to design the Otohiko fork by the crazy social media users.
D.Nissin is concerned western friends will lose interest in its Cup Noodles.
【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.It tells good news to western visitors.
B.It introduces a noise cancelling fork.
C.It describes a famous Japanese noodle company.
D.It explains a phrase “noodle harassment”.
23、阅读理解。
A few years ago, I was on a plane with my friend, waiting for it to take off． The pilot’s voice was heard throughout the plane: “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen． Our engines don’t work． We are going to jump-start them． Once we get them going, we’ll get up in the air and see what happens．”
That was all he said． “See what happens?” Shouldn’t we have had a better plan than that? At that point． I could only laugh nervously． One woman started crying, “Oh no! We are going to crash!’’ There were sighs of hopelessness and anxiety, and we hadn’t even taken off yet．
The pilot even seemed unhappy． He told us our one engine was working double time, and his plan was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did． We got up in the air, and what happened? Nothing． We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched down than applause burst out as everyone on the airplane breathed a sigh of relief．
While I do prefer planning better than “see what happens” when it comes to flying, it really isn’t such a bad idea for life．All too often, people stop trying to achieve their goals just because they don’t have a guaranteed result． But success will never be guaranteed． The best thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what happens． If your effort is to build a business then get up in the air and see what happens! Don’t give yourself all the reasons why you can’t． Do not wait until you have everything you need． You never will!
If your goal is to start a friendship, say “Hello”, get up in the air and see what happens! The results could be very rewarding．
If your goal is to learn a new skill, get up in the air and see what happens! It might not be as difficult as your think． It could be fun!
When traveling, i hope that my pilot has a more detailed plan than “we will see what happens” ． But in life, it is not a bad strategy at all．
【1】What was the pilot’s attitude toward the situation?
A．Disappointed and panicked
B．Surprised and honest
C．Comforting and encouraging
D．Hesitant and weak．
【2】What was the passengers’ reaction when they arrived in Norfolk ?
A．They were thankful and relieved．
B．They cheered for the pilot’s correct operation．
C．They complained that the plane was not safe enough
D．They just walked off the plane as if nothing had happened．
【3】What can we know from the passage?
A．The plane was delayed because of its wheels．
B．The plane arrived at the airport safely．
C．It was a terrible journey for the author．
D．Most of the passengers remained calm on hearing the bad news
【4】What is the main idea of this article ?
A．“we will see what happens” is not a good plan for pilots
B．Try to have everything prepared before you do something
C．When you want to do something, you have to actually do it ．
D．Never stop chasing your goals even if they are certain to fail
24、“Boreout (闷爆) is different from burnout (精疲力竭) in the sense that bored-out employees rarely break down with exhaustion. Bored-out people may be present physically but not in spirit, and people can keep doing this for a good while,” says Harju, who has studied boreout for years.
Workers who realize they’re experiencing boreout may also be unwilling to flag it up as an issue to line managers or human resources. “While the behaviors that feed into burnout — overwork, drive — are appreciated and rewarded by employers, boreout reflects a lack of interest, a lack of motivation,” says Harju. “These are things that are avoided in organizations.”
There are some quick fixes, like taking on work tasks that are more interesting to you. But a 2016 study Harju and her colleagues worked on showed that people who had boreout were less likely to engage in constructive activities like trying to find new, interesting challenges at work.
What happens more often, she says, is that people will just show up at their desks and spend time shopping online, chatting with colleagues or planning other activities. She says that these people aren’t lazy, but are using these behaviours as “coping mechanisms”.
Fahri Ozsungur, an associate professor of economics at Mersin University, Turkey, who was behind the 2021 study on the health effects of boreout, points out that combating the phenomenon isn’t just down to the individual. “Giving meaning to the job is not just up to the employees,” he says. “Instead, it’s up to management to create an office culture that makes people feel valuable.”
If you think boreout is seriously affecting your health either physically or mentally, it may be valuable to ask yourself how you might be able to reselect your career path toward something healthier for you. Seek the advice from advisers, career consultants, friends and family.
“If only people take its suggestion, boreout can make a change into something else: a different career entirely, or a different role in the organization,” Harju says.
【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To introduce the topic of the text.

【2】Why do people prefer not to talk about their boreout?
A．They lack relevant knowledge.
B．They are warned not to talk about it.
C．They may not want it to be known to employers.
D．They fear to be laughed at by their colleagues.
【3】What does the underlined word “combating” in paragraph 5 mean?
A．Encouraging.
B．Blaming.
C．Trusting.
D．Fighting.
【4】Which of the following may Harju agree with?
A．Forcing employers to increase salaries.
B．Sticking to the job until you adapt to it.
C．Trying spending more time with your family.
D．Considering changing a new job interesting you.
