21、 Human beings learn technology from nature. They tend to imitate it. 【1】 It did take us a while to learn, though. However, not until the mid-twentieth century was the word “biomimicry (仿生学)” first introduced.
One of the first examples would be the invention of Velcro (魔术贴), a material that was born after a walk in the countryside by an engineer and his dog. On returning home, he found his socks were filled with little burrs (刺果). 【2】 They were covered by many tiny hooks (勾). He used those qualities for some kind of fabric. And then Velcro was born.
【3】 A high-speed train used to create great noise while exiting a tunnel because of the air pressure. Eiji Nakatsu, an engineer and bird-lover, was inspired by the kingfisher’s beak (鸟嘴), able to dive into the water at great speed with almost no friction, to create a new design. That’s how the modern bullet train, much more efficient and quieter, was born.
Secondly, there would be the imitation of Nature’s strategies and mechanisms. For instance, dolphins have mastered the art of sending out ultrasound (超声波) without disturbing each other. A team of researchers have analyzed the way dolphins adjust these frequencies. 【4】
Finally, there’s the imitation of the efficiency within an ecosystem. 【5】 For example, the street is full of tiny holes to empty water in flooding seasons and the foundations of buildings grasp the hillsides like the roots of trees.
A.One is the imitation of shapes.
B.People imitate forests to build cities.
C.For instance, birds taught people to fly.
D.He decided to get rid of these little burrs.
E.Then he bent down to inspect them closely.
F.Urban areas consume more energy than rural areas.
G.Based on the analysis, they designed a tsunami alarm system.

23、In colleges around the country, most students are also workers. The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television. Instead of the students who wake up late, party all the time, and study only before exams, many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too.
This isn’t a temporary phenomenon. The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s, and one-fifth of students work year round. About one-quarter of those who work while attending school have both a full-course load and a full-time job. The arrangement can help pay for tuition (学费) and living costs, obviously. And there’s value in it beyond the direct cause: such jobs can also be critical for developing important professional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation. With many employers looking for students with already-developed skill sets, on-the-job training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on.
But it’s not all upside. Even full-time work may not completely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses. The study notes that if a student worked a full-time job at the federal minimum wage, they would earn just over $15,000 each year, certainly not enough to pay for tuition, room, and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid. That means that though they’re sacrificing time away from the classroom, many working students will still graduate with at least some debt. And working full time can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all, by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes.
There is little reward for attending but not finishing college. Students who end up leaving school because of difficulty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadn’t gone at all. The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits.
【1】What is the reality of college students?
A. They throw parties a lot.
B. They stay up late every night.
C. They pay no attention to exams.
D. They work besides attending classes.
【2】What has caused the increasing number of working students?
A. The need of developing social networks.
B. The lack of summer jobs for young adults.
C. The chance of finding a job after graduation.
D. The expenses of high tuition and living costs.
【3】We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. working students are more likely to finish college
B. students can cover their college expenses through working
C. students receive a huge reward for managing work and class
D. dropping out of college may not help students get career benefits
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Difficulties of Landing a Job.
B. The Struggle of Work-School Balance.
C. The Reward of Working While Studying.
D. The Images of Working College Students.
24、 TAP into TV visited one of the last remaining pencil factories in America: Musgrave Pencil Company in Shelbyville, Tennessee. Although there are changes in American manufacturing and the technology is developing fast, Musgrave is still a healthy business. They spoke with Henry Hulan of Musgrave about how pencils are made, the long history of pencil-making in Central Tennessee, and the lasting popularity of the pencil in the digital era.
Henry Hulan is the grandson of the founder of Musgrave Pencil Co., James Musgrave, who is commonly referred to as “Colonel Musgrave”. James Musgrave founded the company in 1916.
James developed an innovative way to make pencils: the pencil slat. Grooves (凹槽) are cut into thin pieces of wood called slats, graphite (石墨) cores are laid into the grooves, and lastly, another grooved slat is glued on top. All three layers are pressed together, then shaved and separated into individual pencils.
Interestingly, Musgrave did not use wood from trees at first. “A lot of people don’t know it but we were probably one of the first people that did any kind of recycling,” Hulan said. Colonel Musgrave bought cedar rail fences (雪松栅栏) from farmers who were transitioning (转变) to fences made of modern materials. “We did not cut a tree,” Hulan added. Those fences were made of Tennessee Red Cedar, plentiful in the area, and were the perfect material for pencils.
As other pencil companies in Central Tennessee closed and business moved to other states or overseas, Musgrave has been able to keep open, employing local workers and putting out a quality, American-made product. Through a combination of strategic management decisions, long-term employees and loyal customers, they’ve been successful. Recently there’s been a growing demand for pencils in the digital era. “Pencils are special.
People like them because they are wood — not plastic. The feel and the look of a pencil are just one of those things that will never be replaced,” Hulan said.
