21、 The coffee giant Starbucks is once again a popular search on the Internet, and there are people who think that coffee is now replacing tea as the most popular drink in China. But, is that really so?
Starbucks opened its biggest café shop in the world in Shanghai this Wednesday. The coffee giant says this will not only give customers the usual great coffee, but also give them the full experience of how the magical coffee beans get roasted to become those wonderful drops that make up their favorite drinks. It is like the Willy Wonka factory for coffee lovers. The company is expanding aggressively, and opening a new store every 15 hours on average in China.
China has very rich and splendid tea culture. What seems like the most enjoyable thing is to drink a cup of tea on a quiet day that is full of “Zen” (禅) spirit. But the fast-pace of life sometimes doesn’t allow that. So there are tea shop owners locating their shops in the downtown area in order to provide quick service for customers. Take Heytea for example. It’s one of the most highly rated tea shops and it has now opened several new branches in the business areas of big cities like Beijing. Waiting in lines for longer than one hour is common. China’s consumption of tea is immeasurable. According to a research of USC Institute, in China, the average person consumes 400 cups of tea per year.
So it is unlikely that coffee can replace tea as the country’s main drink any time soon. The expanding coffee shops are not there to replace tea, but to provide people with another choice that they can use to enjoy life.

22、As you may have noticed, machine learning and artificial intelligence are two of the hottest areas in technology today. One company that seems to have been caught flat-footed in the artificial intelligence race is Apple. To successfully participate in new markets, Apple is seeking ways to combine its strategy in Siri and artificial intelligence.
Apple’s voice assistant Siri significantly falls behind competing smart speakers from Amazon and Google. Take HomePod, Apple’s smart-speaker product for example, though reviews praised the device for having excellent sound quality, Siri’s poor accuracy could limit its usefulness. Besides, the high price of the device also made it a harder sell than it would have been. Apple charges for the HomePod $350 while the competing Echo Plus, for example, costs $150.
If Apple wants to successfully participate in new markets, and keep its core iPhone and iPad products competitive well into the future, it needs to go from zero to hero in artificial intelligence. The company recently hired John Giannandrea, who previously led Google’s artificial intelligence efforts. And the company gave him more power, which seemed to suggest that Apple is really trying to rework its entire strategy in this field. Under this new specialist in artificial intelligence, some positive changes will take place in Apple’s artificial intelligence development.
However, let’s be realistic. A management change isn’t going to affect Apple’s products and technologies that we have seen for some time. Developing good software is a long process, especially considering the possibility that Apple will effectively throw out the current generation of Siri and start from beginning.
Nevertheless, one reason that I’m hopeful is that Apple seems to understand that it has a problem here and is making efforts to change the situation. If Apple is successful in reshaping its artificial intelligence efforts and continues to fund them appropriately, then there’s a reasonable chance that within a few years, it won’t be a laggard(落后者) in this field but a leader.
【1】Why is Apple’s HomePod mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A．To advertise Apple’s new product.
B．To speak highly of its sound quality.
C．To compare different smart-speakers.
D．To show the disadvantages of Apple’s AI products.
【2】Apple is trying to rework its entire strategy in AI by ______.
A．reshaping its leadership
B．setting up a special fund
C．inventing new smart products
D．stopping using Siri in HomePod
【3】What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A．Apple will be greatly reconstructed.
B．Apple will update its core products.
C．Apple’s situation won’t get better overnight.
D．Apple’s products won’t be competitive.
【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The future of Apple’s core products
B．The decline of Apple’s voice assistant Siri
C．Machine learning and artificial intelligence
D．The efforts Apple made to have a place in AI field
23、 From birds to bees and wolves to frogs, animals use numbers to hunt, find a mate, return to their home, and more—and researchers believe that this ability to process and represent numbers, known as numerical (数字的) competence, influences an animal’s chance of survival.
In a review published in the journal Trends in Ecology and Evolution, Andreas Nieder, a neurobiologist at the University of Tuebingen, Germany, suggests the capability to differentiate numbers has to have a strong survival benefit and reproduction (繁殖) benefit.
Honeybees, for instance, can remember the number of landmarks they pass when searching for food in order to find their way back to the hive (蜂房). Also, for example, male frogs sing “advertisement” calls to attract females. The females, listening for the complexity of their calls, choose the male that sings the most calls.
This can also be seen in animals choosing a larger amount of food over a small amount or in animals forming hunting groups. Wolves are more likely to hunt successfully if they have the right number of wolves in their pack for the size of their prey (猎物): with prey like deer, only around six to eight wolves are needed, while hunting wild ox requires a pack of nine to thirteen. Their prey also use this concept to protect themselves from wolves—deer tend to live in smaller herds, which rarely have encounters with wolves, or gather in large herds to reduce the chance of any individual becoming prey.
Despite these many examples of numerical competence in animals, this subject has not gotten many first-hand studies. “Many of these behavioral findings in the wild have usually been collected as by-products or accidental findings of other research questions,” says Nieder. He argues that more research needs to be done to fully understand the numerical competence.
【1】How does the author mainly develop this text?
A．By listing figures.
B．By asking questions.
C．By making comparisons.
D．By giving examples.
【2】What role does numerical competence play in wolves’ hunting?
A．It gives them more options to hunt.
B．It helps them form hunting groups.
C．It makes them discover more prey.
D．It offers them new skills to hunt.
【3】What’s Nieder’s attitude to these instances to prove animals have numerical competence?
A．Positive.
B．Ambiguous.
C．Doubtful.
D．Negative.
【4】What can be a suitable title for this passage?
A．Animals Taught to Distinguish Numbers
B．Animals Learned Numbers to Survive
C．The Smartest Animals in Hunting and Reproduction
D．Animals’ Numerical Intelligence Affects their Survival
24、Wangari Maathai, 2004 Nobel Peace Prize winner, once told a story of a hummingbird. When a forest fire breaks out, a hummingbird will volunteer to do its best to fight the fire despite its small size and little impact, while larger animals like the elephants just sit by and watch. In many Kenyan people’s eyes, the youth group Komb Green Solutions is such a hummingbird.
Formed in 2017, Komb Green Solutions is a community-based organization in Nairobi. Though it started off with no support at all, it was armed with a passion to change the environment in their slum (贫民窟).
Fredrick Okinda, the group’s founder, said that before the group was formed, some young people in Korogocho were engaged in crime to earn a living. This always resulted in gang fights, with Okinda having lost many friends to crime.
During an upgrading project where a new bridge linking Dandora and Korogocho slums was being built, Okinda and his co-founders saw an opportunity. Having worked as casual laborers and security officers for the project, the youth decided to carry on by restoring the river under the bridge on a voluntary basis.
“When we started, our main focus was the dumpsite (垃圾场) under the bridge,” Okinda said. “It was a hiding place for thieves and a place where drug dealers and users would go to conduct their illegal activities, so we wanted to create a green and safe space for children to play and for young people to relax.”
With limited resources, lack of funds and an enormous task, Komb Green Solutions has slowly but surely started turning the city’s Korogocho slum from an eyesore into a safe space where children can play and adults can live healthy lives.
【1】Why does the author mention hummingbird in paragraph 1?
A．To introduce a Kenyan youth group.
B．To show Wangari Maathai’s theory.
C．To amuse readers with a funny story.
D．To stress the importance of hummingbirds.
【2】What made Okinda start Komb Green Solutions?
A．Saving wild birds.
B．Making a living.
C．Solving the drug problem.
D．Changing the community.
【3】Which of the following best describes Okinda?
A．Reserved.
B．Devoted.
C．Polite.
D．Honest.
【4】What is a suitable title for the text?
A．Living a Healthy Life
B．Bridging Two Slums
C．Transforming the City Slum
D．Volunteering in Communities
25、 Facial expressions _______ meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example in American culture the smile is _______ an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses.

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。
Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!”
“No,” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into mischief(trouble). Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me. ”
“You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.
