21、 When you look at fashion shows or see the latest clothes for this year in a magazine, you might think you’ve seen it all before. It sometimes seems that most of the designers are just going back to ideas that have already been around at least once before. If you really want to know what the future of fashion is, you need to look at an area that is alwasys looking forward: technology. The meeting point of fashion and technology is where the really exciting new ideas are.
For several years now, people have been talking about “wearable technology” as the next big development. In fact, some products that fit this description are already in the shops. You can buy watches that do everything your smart phone can do, or glasses with computers in that follow your eye movements and feed information to you as you walk around. But there’s much more to wearable technology than that.
Sports clothing is one area where new ideas are developing very fast. Runners and other sports people already wear small computers on their wrists that give them continuous information about how fast they’re running, how hard their bodies are working and so on. Experts agree that it’s often sports people (ususally young men) who are the first to take up new fashion ideas. Others then follow.
Women, it seems, are usually more interested in what clothes look like than what they can do, and techology has a part to play here too. Designers are already making clothes that can change color with how you are feeling, or react to sound. And if you think that sound unlikely, just think of all the things we accept as quite normal today that seemed impossible or silly only ten years ago.
The main reason that things like this aren’t in normal shops is that they aren’t cheap. But, as with all technological products, the price will surely come down fast. In any case, technological clothing doesn’t have to be expensive.
【1】What does the author intend to tell us in the first paragraph?
A．Technology develops faster than fashion.
B．The old fashion ideas are more popular.
C．Technology can bring new ideas to fashion.
D．Fashion keeps moving forward.
【2】What does the underlined word “that” in Para 4 refer to?
A．The fact that women prefer the fashion style.
B．The truth that people’s feelings can be controlled by clothes.
C．Clothes that can answer questions.
D．Clothes that can change colors according to wearers’ feelings.
【3】What can we learn from the text?
A．Technological clothing is not available on the market.
B．Sports people are the first to accept new fashions.
C．Women do not like technological clothing.
D．Technological clothing will be expensive.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards wearable technology’s future?
A．Doubtful
B．Optimistic
C．Negative
D．Objective
22、As new year approaches, crowds around the world may be expecting fireworks to light up the sky. But the fireworks could finally lose their appeal with the growing use of drones (无人机) for light shows. One obvious example was drone light show in the opening ceremony of Tokyo Olympics.
Ollie Howitt, a technician at SkyMagic, which used 300 drones to create a display for London’s new year celebration, said demand had increased substantially. She added that drones were increasingly able to fly in greater density and for longer. Howitt also said there were benefits of drones, “They give out no pollutants, they’re reusable, and there’s no fallout or that kind of thing. So in that sense they are a very sensible choice.”
Robert Neff, the general manager at Mercia Harbor, also said the decision to use a drone display at the harbor was down to a number of factors, including the impact of fireworks on animals — from wildlife to the pets of boat owners. “They’ve often commented on how much suffering is caused to their pets by the fireworks,” he said.
But not everyone agrees. Hans Rosling, a spokesperson from the British Fireworks Association said drones could also pose environmental problems. “Suggestions are that drones have less of an impact on the environment, but we have concerns about electrical demand and use of lithium (锂) batteries which are known not to be all that ‘green’,” he said. “The impact of firework use on the environment has been shown to be minor and very short-lived and recent studies have suggested that there is likely to be more pollution from a couple of cars driving to an event than caused by fireworks at an event.”
And there are issues with drone light displays, which need to receive specific safety approval from certain authorities. Some suggest the use of drones doesn’t mean shutting off fireworks. The bangs of fireworks create a sound feeling that is hard to replace. Meanwhile, others prefer the chance to tell stories in the sky by using a series of image.
【1】Why does the writer talk about the Tokyo Olympics in Para 1?
A．To attract readers’ attention to the Olympics.
B．To advocate setting off fireworks in the new year.
C．To introduce the popular use of drones for light shows.
D．To highlight people’s celebration of this opening ceremony.
【2】What did Ollie Howitt think of drone displays?
A．They bring environmental problems.
B．They cause little suffering to the pets.
C．They add color to the new year celebration.
D．They are economical and environmentally-friendly.
【3】Which of the following did Hans Rosling agree with?
A．Firework displays last shorter than drone displays.
B．The pollution from fireworks isn’t as much as people think.
C．Drones have less impact on the environment than fireworks.
D．People should abandon the drone displays because of lithium batteries.
【4】What are people’s attitudes towards drone light displays?
A．Controversial.
B．Favorable.
C．Cautious.
D．Neutral.
23、Home sweet home
No matter how far you've travelled, there's always something special about coming home. It might be your comfortable bed or your mum' s special dish or walking round your local park that makes you feel so happy and comfortable there.
【1】. It's something you learn to deal with better as you grow older; from your first weekend away with school or a youth group, to a week-long holiday with friends, to moving out to university, it becomes ever easier. 【2】 I always long to go home about a week before it's time. It's the expectation of seeing your friends and family, smelling Dad' s apple pie, and feeling your own sheets.
【3】 . Concentrate on what you' re doing and where you are. Think about all the good differences from home. You might not be able to get your favorite foods, but this will force you to try something new. 【4】 , but perhaps it' s more beautiful and sunnier! And although you'll miss friends and family, distance helps you appreciate the truly valuable relationships.
There's a new generation of " children of the world". With more people moving abroad, it's easy to feel like you have many different homes. However, I think this is positive-you lead an enriched life and you learn to value what, where and who really matters to you. 【5】 , you learn to make everywhere your home!
A. And when the world is your shelter
B. Your new town may not be familiar
C. Some tips to help with homesickness
D. A great wave of homesickness swept over me
E. Homesickness is something almost everyone suffers from
F. As these are the things that made you cry with homesickness
G. Although I'm used to travelling around and living away from home
24、Make Your Application (申请表) Stand Out
Colleges and universities in the US receive thousands of applications every year from within the US and from countries all around the world. 【1】 How can you make yourself more memorable among these students?
Realize that “recommended” equals “required”.
The very first thing any applicant to a college should realize is that it is a competitive process.【2】 In fact, certain parts may even be presented that way in university application materials—but the reality is that anything that the university presents as “optional” or “recommended” is usually seen as “required” in the minds of admission officers.
Don’t hesitate to send in extra material.
While it used to be the case that universities would make it very clear that they would not accept extra materials, that is no longer true in most cases, and in many cases, universities will accept all kinds of materials. 【3】— but it could make the difference when you are on the borderline.
【4】
During school breaks, make sure that you are doing something that shows your academic curiosity, your initiative, and your willingness to work hard. Bonus points if your activity produces something that could be easily understood by admission offices, and if, this activity is something you’ve been doing for two or more years.
Be eager and focus on quality communication.
【5】 Answer emails without delay; send thank-you letters; and ask good and thoughtful questions. Language that might be OK when messaging your friends is certainly not the right tone when communicating with admission officers. It is likely that all of your emails go into your admission file, so you will make sure that all of it will be able to stand close examination by the admission committee.
A．One might think of many parts of the application as optional.
B．You are expected to present yourself thoroughly in the process.
C．Use your extra time wisely.
D．Communicating well will generally be to your benefit.
E．But how can you make yours stand out from the pile?
F．Make sure the language you use is formal and careful.
G．Extra materials won’t suddenly make you competitive.
