21、 Every two or three months, Thyago Ohana goes out on the busy streets of Vienna with a sign saying “Free Hugs”. The handsome 32-year-old Brazilian, who works in international trade at India’s Vienna embassy, chooses a popular site, like the historic shopping street, Kaemtner Strasse. There he opens his arms to anyone who wants a hearty embrace (拥抱).
He does it because back in 2012, when he was feeling very stressed and anxious during a visit to Paris, a stranger gave him a free hug. He’s never forgotten how it filled him with unexpected calm and joy.
For those who take up his offer, the hug makes them laugh and smile. But sometimes it does more, as when an elderly woman in a tour group stopped and watched him. The group moved on, but she remained and asked, “Can I have a hug?” “Of course you can!” said Thyago who wrapped his arms round her. When they broke their embrace, she kept holding onto his shoulders and looked into his eyes. “Thank you,” she said. “I can’t remember the last time I was hugged this way.”
It’s a memory that still makes Thyago emotional. “It was a really powerful moment of human connection. It’s why I keep doing it.”
Of our live senses, our sense of touch is the one that is most easily taken for granted. “A child can be born blind or deaf and they will grow up just fine,” says David J Linden, author of Touch. The Science of Hand, Heart and Mind. “Yet if a baby is lacking in loving social touch for the first two years of life, then all sorts of disasters unfold.” That’s one reason why when babies are born, they are now usually placed on their mother’s skin.
Linden says however you do it, “maximizing touch in your life is a good thing”— whether holding hands, petting a dog, going to the hairdresser, hugging our kids, our partners or even a stranger.
【1】Why did Thyago Ohana offer free hugs to strangers?
A.He longed for calm and joy.
B.He felt stressed and upset.
C.He wanted others to feel connected and cared.
D.He hoped to help others cure their diseases.
【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 suggest?
A.Our sense of touch isn’t so important.
B.Our sense of touch is undervalued.
C.Our sense of touch does no good to us.
D.Our sense of touch is thought highly of.
【3】What does David J Linden think of social touch?
A.The way of offering social touch counts.
B.Offering hugs is the best way to get social touch.
C.Blind kids will be cured as long as they get enough social touch.
D.Many problems can be tracked back to babyhood short of social touch.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A.A health magazine. B.A research paper.
C.A guide book. D.A biology textbook.
22、 Learning English, or any language, can be a challenging but rewarding experience. To make progress, you need to make a lot of effort and develop the right habits.
©Make a plan and set realistic goals. Planning your learning day by day and week by week can be rewarding and can make it easier to measure your progress. 【1】 For example, you might aim to learn five new linking expressions next week (realistic) rather than master academic writing (extremely unrealistic).
© Record new vocabulary in an easy and practical way. As language lessons are often based on a particular theme, it's a good idea to organize vocabulary by topic. Experiment with different ways of recording vocabulary, including word-cards and mind maps, and see what works best for you. 【2】
©Be active and manage your own learning. 【3】 Be determined to use the language and grammar your teacher has presented. Making mistakes is a natural part of the learning process, so don't let that stop you. By being active and taking control of your own learning, you'll soon start to see results.
◎【4】 Go through the notes you took in a certain class and try memorizing as much as possible.
Then, write to see how much you can recall. Repeat the process until you've memorized all the things you set at the beginning of the task.
©Find fun in English to watch, read and listen to. The English language is truly global and the opportunities to read or listen to it are endless. 【5】 Get into the habit of watching TV shows or movies, listening to songs and radio shows, and reading books and magazines in English.
A.Remember where you get started.
B.Review self-study notes regularly.
C.This is especially true if you set realistic goals.
D.When in class, try to participate as much as possible.
E.However, it's crucial to make sure the topics are ones that interest you.
F.You should also take down the different forms, uses and pronunciation of particular words.
G.To succeed in English learning, you also need to develop a good habit of learning grammar.
23、The world has been witnessing a growing number of countries where people from around the globe live together and communicate with each other, with various customs and beliefs coexisting. America and Singapore are typical examples. Distinct cultures merge into a common cultural context for mankind. 【1】
Culture shapes our identity and influences our behaviors, and cultural diversity makes us accept, or to some extent, even integrate and assimilate (同化) into other cultures. To adapt to a diverse cultural community, the fundamental thing is to be aware that there are different cultures apart from our own. 【2】 Sometimes a person may not know much about geography or history, but by mixing with people from other cultures, they may have the opportunity to learn more about different countries.
For those who want to learn but do not know where to start, a great point is to pick up a book about the culture they are interested in, or do some online research on reputable websites. 【3】 One more way to start learning about new cultures is simply tasting the food from different cultures, since food can also be an aspect of cultural diversity.
【4】 It’s the same for children too, especially for those who live in culturally diverse cities such as Los Angeles, Shanghai, or Hong Kong. If children are not aware of diversity, then they become close-minded. This can lead to troubles at school and even lead to bullying. Show them how diverse the world is. 【5】
In today’s world, if we are able to know about other cultures, and respect other values, life will be easier for us.
A.Understanding diversity is important for adults.
B.Here are some ways to fight against cultural prejudices.
C.The best way to learn, though, is through face-to-face interaction.
D.That’s why more of us feel as if we are living in a multicultural age.
E.Take a positive view of different cultures, and we can broaden our horizons.
F.Help them be more open-minded toward people of different races, cultures, and countries.
G.In many multicultural communities, the best representation of diversity can be found in schools.
24、A ground-based system that uses much stronger signals than GPS can find your location in cities and indoors. It is a new positioning system that could compete with GPS to make sure you never lose your directions again.
Instead of satellites, Locata uses ground-based equipment to send a radio signal over a localized area that is a million times stronger on arrival than GPS. It can work indoors as well as outdoors, and the makers claim that the receivers can be shrunk(缩小) to fit inside a regular cell phone. Even the US armies, which invented GPS technology, signed a file last month agreeing to a test of Locata at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.
“This is one of the most important technology developments for the future of the positioning industry,” says Nunzio Gambale, CEO and co-founder of the firm Locata, based in Griffith, Australia.
As for the Locata’s correctness, Christopher Morin of the US Air Force tested it recently at White Sands, and it worked to within 18cm along any axis(轴). Morin said it should be possible to get the exactitude down to 5cm.
The tests were performed in an open desert where GPS also worked beautifully, but its signal was weak—like a car headlight from 20,000 kilometers away—and easily cut off by solid objects(实心的物体). Locata’s signal was far stronger, though not guaranteed to work in a complex urban environment, said David, speaker of the UK’ s General Lighthouse Authorities.
Locata’s technology will face competition in the race to transform indoor navigation. But it could shine in specific areas, Gambale said. Robots with Locata could easily navigate inside buildings without the complex optical(视觉的) systems they need at the moment. And the process that handles correct location data could not only guide you around a mall, railway station or airport, but also take you to the exact shelf in a shop for the product you want. It would be small and cheap enough for smart phones and it should be available within five years—a similar path to the one GPS took on its way towards the world, he said.
【1】The passage is written mainly to ______.
A. encourage people to buy the Locata
B. tell us the disadvantages of the GPS
C. introduce a new positioning system Locata
D. tell us that Locata will replace GPS one day
【2】Which of the following is NOT true about Locata?
A. Without the help of the satellites, Locata can tell you where you are.
B. Locata will be popular with most people even including the US armies.
C. Locata has a better signal than GPS in some bad environments.
D. In five years, Locata will take the place of GPS.
【3】According to the passage, Gambale______.
A. did the experiment at White Sands last month
B. believed the Locata would help to develop smart robots’ creation
C. doubted whether Locata can work in a complex environment or not
D. was worried about the competition the Locata faced
【4】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “exactitude” in Paragraph 4?
A. Accuracy. B. Speed.
C. Determination D. Length
【5】What can we know from the passage?
A. Locata is as small as a cell phone.
B. GPS is the most practical position system at present.
C. Locata will tell you how to get what you want in the future.
D. Locata will enter our lives through the cell phone, just like GPS.
