21、The full moon climbs over the eastern horizon (地平线) and hangs like a huge orange globe in the sky. A few hours later, the moon is overhead but seems to have changed. The huge orange globe has become a small silver disk. What has happened? Why has the orange color disappeared? Why does the moon seem so much smaller and farther away now that it is overhead?
The moon appears orange on the horizon because we view it through the dust of the atmosphere. The overhead moon does not really shrink as it moves away from the horizon. Our eyes inform us that the overhead moon is farther away. But in this position the moon is actually closer to our eyes than when it is near the horizon.
The change in size is a trick our eyes and minds play on us. When the moon is low in the sky, we can compare its size with familiar objects. It is easy to see that the moon is much larger than trees or buildings, for example. When the moon is high in the sky, however, it is hard to compare it with objects on earth. Compared to the vastness of the sky, the moon seems small.
There is another reason why the moon seems to shrink. We are used to staring at objects straight ahead of us. When an object is difficult to see, our eyes have to try to focus on it. When we move our heads back to look up, we will try hard again. Looking at something from an unaccustomed position can fool you into believing an object is smaller or farther away than it is. However, scientists do not yet understand completely why the moon seems to shrink as it rises in the sky.
【1】What makes us puzzled when the moon is high in the sky?
A. It becomes large. B. It looks different.
C. Its color disappears. D. Its shape changes.
【2】What really happens when the moon floats farther away from the horizon?
A. It comes nearer. B. It turns orange.
C. It goes farther. D. It gets through dust.
【3】What does the author intend to suggest by mentioning trees and buildings in Para. 3?
A. They can affect our judgment. B. They are low on earth.
C. They can attract our attention. D. They are large objects.
【4】What can we infer from the text?
A. The size of the moon often changes.
B. The moon is in fact a huge orange globe.
C. The moon is beginning to shrink much.
D. We do not see the moon as it really is.
22、 This month, when earthquakes rocked Southern California on back-to-back days, it was a shocking reminder that we may one day experience the “Big One,” a quake with the power to kill and destroy. However a few people saw something else: a photo opportunity.
Tourists flocked to a large crack in a highway to see evidence of the damage for themselves and, of course, take a quick selfie(自拍).
It was only the latest example of how our modern love of sharing photos we take of ourselves in notable situations is colliding with nature and the world, often in confusing and even dangerous ways.
In Canada, a sunflower farm barred visitors last year after selfie-seekers destroyed flowers and left the land looking like a “zombie apocalypse.”(僵尸启示录) In Spain, a man was gored in the neck last weekend while trying to take a video selfie at the annual running of the bulls in Pamplona.
The selfie phenomenon entered the mainstream after Apple and other phonemakers added front-facing cameras starting in 2010, the same year Instagram and other photo-sharing apps were becoming popular. From 2011 to 2017, more than 250 people died while taking selfies, according to a study by researchers in India, which had by far the highest number of such deaths, followed by Russia and the United States. Many died after drowning, falling or being attacked by an animal. Most were under the age of 30.
It’s easy to be uncomfortable with selfies and even mock them, especially when they’re risky or in bad taste. But some researchers have explored different questions: Why do we take selfies? Can they ever be a healthy form of expression? Can selfies be used for good?
【1】Why does the author mention the earthquake happened in Southern California?
A.To show how severe the earthquake is.
B.To warn the readers of the dangers in the earthquake.
C.To introduce the risky behavior of the crazy selfie takers.
D.To show how scared people are when earthquake happened.
【2】The sunflower farm in Canada barred visitors, because____________
A.there are too many visitors.
B.the farm used to be devastated by selfie seekers.
C.the sunflowers are supposed to be well protected.
D.the farm owner did not want others to enjoy the beautiful sunflowers.
【3】What is the right order of the following countries according to the number of selfie deaths?
A.the US, India, Russia. B.Russia, the US, India.
C.India, Russia, the US. D.India, the US, Russia.
【4】How did the author feel about selfie?
A.Positive. B.Negative.
C.Ambiguous. D.Uncaring.
23、 Is renting clothes greener than buying them? Sustainable (可持续的) fashion expert Elizabeth Cline isn’t sure. Clothing renting is a hot new industry and businessmen are trying to attract shoppers who care about the environment. Last summer alone, Urban Outfitters, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s American Eagle and Banana Republic all announced renting services – a sure sign of changing times.
But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it? And if so, how much more? Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline researched this question in a feature article for Elle, and she concluded that it’s not as sustainable as it seems.
Take shipping for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented – receiving and returning. Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing.
Then there’s the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it’s returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. For most renting services, this usually means dry-cleaning, which is a polluting process. All the renting services that Cline looked into have replaced perchloroethylene, a carcinogenic (致癌的) air pollutants that’s still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners, with hydrocarbon (碳氢化合物) alternatives, although these aren’t great either. They can produce harmful waste and air pollution if not handled correctly.
Lastly, Cline fears that renting services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because it’s so easily accessible. There’s something called “share-washing” that makes people have more wasteful behaviors because a product or service is shared and thus is considered more eco-friendly. Uber is one example of this: advertised as a way to share rides and reduce car ownership, and yet it has been proven to discourage walking, bicycling and public transportation use.
Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them into the bin after wearing them a few times, but we shouldn’t let the availability of these services make us self-satisfied. There’s an even better step – and that’s wearing what we already have.
【1】What do we know about Elizabeth Cline from the passage?
A．She is trying to attract shoppers.
B．She is an expert and journalist.
C．She has created “share-washing”.
D．She never rents clothes.
【2】Why does renting services increase people’s appetite for fast fashion?
A．Because it is handled correctly.
B．Because it is transported easily.
C．Because it is fairly eco-friendly.
D．Because it is easily accessible.
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A．Clothing renting became popular ten years ago.
B．Consumer transportation has the largest carbon footprint.
C．Renting clothes deserves further consideration.
D．Uber is a good example of sharing rides.
【4】Which section of a newspaper does the text probably come from?
A．Environment.
B．Technology.
C．Travel.
D．Medicine.
24、Studying smarter, not longer, matters now more than ever, with students in many countries having to manage their time and study more on their own. 【1】 The good news: Science points to ones that really work.
Use pictures. Pay attention to drawings, graphics, chart and other visual aids in your class materials, psychologist Mark McDaniel says. “【2】 And if there aren’t pictures, creating them can be really, really useful.”
Find examples. Abstract concepts can be hard to understand. It tends to be far easier to form a mental image if you have a concrete example of something, psychologist Cynthia Nebel says. For instance, sour foods usually taste that way because they contain an acid.【3】 But if you think about a lemon or vinegar, it’s easier to understand and remember that acids and sour go together.
【4】 Psychologist Nate Komell “definitely did cram (临时抱佛脚)” before big tests when he was a student. He still thinks it’s a good idea to study the day before a big test. But research shows it’s a bad idea to cram all your studying into that day. Instead, allow time between study sessions and you’ll learn and remember material better.
Dig deeper. It’s hard to remember a string of facts and figures if you don’t push further. Ask why things are a certain way. How did they come about? Why do they matter? Psychologists call this elaboration. “It’s asking a lot of how and why questions about it,” Nebel says.【5】
Try adding just one new study skill each week or two. It may seem odd at first. But, by the time week two rolls around, it becomes a normal thing.
A．Reread books and notes.
B．Space out your studying.
C．They really boost your memory of the material.
D．Yet many students have never learned those skills.
E．In other words, don’t just accept facts at face value.
F．On its own, that concept might be hard to remember.
G．It’s like telling students to learn to swim by “just swimming.”
