21、 Three-day－old Oskar Lunde sleeps in a small bed at an Estonian(爱沙尼亚) hospital.
Across the room, his father turns on a laptop computer. "Now we will register our child, "Andrei Lunde says as he lifts his identification card into the card reader. His wife, Olga, looks on. And just like that, Oskar is Estonia’s newest citizen. No paper. No time spent standing in a line.
Estonia has launched a project to make government administration completely digital. The goal is to reduce the size of the government work force, open up the decision-making process and fuel economic growth.
Need medicine ?Reach for a computer and send an email or text message to a doctor. Need help from the local government? Click on a link to the government websites…
Estonia has created a system that supports electronic authentication(身份验证) and digital signatures. It provides paperless communications for both the government and private industry.
However, there are a few things that one cannot do electronically in Estonia: marry, end a marriage or buy and sell property. That is only because the government has decided it is very important to show up in person for some big life events. When Estonia declared independence from the former Soviet Union in 1991, it had to build a new economy. Government leaders looked for an industry where the country could compete. They decided on information technology and the Internet.
When the poor country needed to replace a 1930s phone system, former President Toomas Hendrik Ilves rejected the offer of a free analog(模拟) system from Finland and argued for a digital one.
Last year, information and communications made up 5.9 percent of the economy. The government hopes to increase that figure with an "e-residency " program that lets businessmen around the world register their businesses in Estonia, thus gaining a presence in the European Union. More than 51, 000 people from 167 countries have registered at a cost of only 100 euros, or＄114 each.
【1】What purpose does Paragraph 1 serve in the passage?
A. To provide background information of the topic.
B. To attract readers’ attention to the topic
C. To describe the daily life of an Estonian
D. To offer some basic knowledge of Estonia
【2】In which case shall people show up in person in Estonia?
A. Registering a newly born baby. B. Registering a business
C. Purchasing a house. D. Signing a name.
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The "e-residency "program didn't work in practice
B. The "e-residency" program appeals to native Estonians
C. People register businesses in Estonia at very low prices
D. Estonia used to be a member state of the European Union.
【4】Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Estonian Government Aims to End Paperwork
B. "e-residency" Program Fuels Estonian Economy
C. Estonia Is Becoming Stronger With IT Industry
D. Government Administration Is Going Digital
22、There's no guaranteed roadmap to success in study. However, changing your study habits and adjusting your approach to your classes can make a big difference.【1】
Get enough sleep
【2】. Your ability to remember can drop by as much as 40 percent if you haven't had adequate sleep. Aim to get adequate sleep as many nights as possible, and try to keep the same sleep schedule every night, even on weekends.
Know when you work best
Speaking of a sleep schedule, it's important to note that there is no one-size-fits-all study schedule.【3】, so you shouldn't feel pressured to maintain an uncomfortable schedule. As long as you are getting enough sleep and keeping up with your commitments, your schedule is up to you.
【4】
The Pomodoro Technique is a focusing method that relies on short bursts of intense work and plenty of breaks. To try the technique, set a timer for 25 minutes and work on a single task. When the timer rings, take a five-minute break, then set another 25-minute timer and get back to work. After four 25- minute intervals, take a longer break. You may find that the Pomodoro Method helps you get more done in a shorter period of time without feeling burnt out. Plus, short study breaks are known to improve concentration.
Sweat and study
There is a massive body of research that links exercise with good grades and improved learning and cognitive skills-especially if you exercise first and study second. 【5】, go for a quick walk. Fresh air and a change in environment will help you create connections and solve problems.
A．If you don't have time to hit the gym
B．Change attitudes
C．The importance of sleep cannot be overstated
D．Try the Pomodoro Method
E．High-stress study sessions can have harmful effects on both your GPA and your health

23、 Hundreds of millions of people watched on television on July 20, 1969, when American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to land on the moon. Back then, businesses sold many products connected to the event and many such products are now on sales again — in celebration of the moon landing’s 50th anniversary.
A limited number of Omega’s gold Speedmaster watches — the same kind that Buzz Aldrin wore on the moon — will be sold at $34,600. Omega Speedmaster watches have been an important part of space travel since NASA chose them for its moon landing in 1965. Other watches had failed required tests. Omega gave its gold Speedmasters to the astronauts at a dinner in 1969 before the landing. Another less costly type of silver Speedmasters will be sold at $ 9,650. It carries a picture of Aldrin stepping down from the moon lander.
Something for children-as well as adults — is the NASA Apollo 11 moon lander set. Made by Lego, it is a group of small pieces to put together to make a model of the moon lander.
Other things for sale include the anti-gravity Fisher Space Pens, developed just for the Apollo 11 mission. They work even when writing upside down. Now Fisher Space Pen Company has a limited-edition pen for sale at an out-of this-world price: $700, with real material from the Apollo 11 spacecraft.
Back in 1969, companies were quick to show their Apollo 11 connections with media and advertisements. The food company Stouffer’s made sure consumers knew it provided food for Apollo 11 astronauts once they returned to Earth. It started the ad campaign “Everybody who’s been to the moon is eating Stouffer’s”. Fifty years later, the company is celebrating with a media campaign to share some recipes from 1969.
Marketing experts David Meerman Scott says, “Since 1972,we’ve gone around and around the earth many times, and it is not interesting to people any more. I’m not sure whether they can accept such crazy prices. Now NASA has had plans to go to Mars in the 2030s and marketing efforts for a NASA Mars mission should be in development.”
【1】What can we learn about the gold Speedmaster watch?
A．It will be sold at $34,600.
B．NASA bought itats9,650.
C．It has Aldrin’s picture inside.
D．It was chosen by NASA in 1969.
【2】What does the underlined word “out-of-this-world” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Extremely fair.
B．Surprisingly high.
C．Really low.
D．Truly worthwhile.
【3】What does David Meerman Scott mean?
A．It is a waste of money to go around and around the moon.
B．People will be interested in the products connected to Apollo.
C．Since 1972,governments have lost interest in moon explorations.
D．The event of going to Mars will be another good chance to advertise.
【4】What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A．To show how to design the best advertisement.
B．To forecast the sales of the products in the text.
C．To introduce some of the products connected to Apollo 11.
D．To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing.
24、When we come home from a long day at school, our clogs are so happy to see us. Their faces look happy, with mouths wide open. 【1】
It's probably not an illusion(错觉）at all. In fact, two centuries of modern science has good evidence that humans and animals share emotions—including the kind of emotion that results in laughter.
US animal behaviorist Patricia Simonet carried out research on a special sound that dogs make when they play. 【2】. It is quite different from other dog sounds like whining（哀鸣）and growling（咆哮）.Simonet believed it is laughter.
Even other dogs seem to recognize and associate the “laugh" with pleasure. 【3】 when Simonet played the laughter to other dogs, reported ABC News.
It might not surprise us that dogs—our traditional “best friends”—like to laugh. But other research suggests that creatures? like rats, also laugh.
Estonian researcher Jaak Panksepp did experiments on rats.【4】. When Panksepp tickled his rats on the neck, they made a chirping（唧唧声）sound, which the scientist believed was laughter. The rats liked the tickling so much, he reported, that they sought more of it. According to Scientific American , Panksepp's rats would follow his finger around to make him tickle them again.
While studies have shown that dogs and rats “laugh“ when they play? it doesn't mean that all animals really laugh even if they make a laughter-like sound.
Take hyenas（土狼）for example. The hyena is well known for making a noise that sounds like a person laughing loudly. But studies show the hyenas don't make the noise because they think something is funny. 【5】
But make no mistake? when your dog welcomes you home, it's definitely laughing.
A．You can make your dog laugh at times
B．Laughter can relieve their nervousness
C．He found that they had a sense of humor and fun
D．The sound is a “forced, breathy exhalation（呼气）”
E．We've all wondered whether our dogs are smiling at us
F．Some would seek out toys and others would run toward the source
G．The “laughing“ is actually a noise they make when they are excited or frightened

26、阅读下面短文，然后按要求写一篇120词左右的英语短文。
A group of frogs were travailing through the woods. And two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two that they were as good as dead. The two frogs didn’t listen and tried to jump out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs heard what other frogs were saying and gave up, so he died.
The other frog went on jumping as hard as he could. Once again, the other frogs cried at him and told him to stop and just allow himself to die. He jumped even harder and finally made himself out. When he got out, the other frogs said,“ Didn’t you hear us?” the frog explained to them that something was wrong with his hearing. He thought they were encouraging him the whole time.
There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift him or her up and help them make it through the day. Be careful what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path. The power of words --- anyone can speak bad words that rob another of the spirit to go on in difficult times. But an encouraging word can go such a long time.
