21、Until 13, Parker Liautaud was an ordinary kid. That changed after he met polar explorer Robert Swan. They began an email correspondence which turned into a friendship that eventually saw the then 14-year-old invited to join a trip to the Antarctic. He said yes almost instantly. Friends and family, to whom he’d so far shown he had no particular interest in outdoor pursuits, particularly polar ones, were thrown into total confusion, to say the least. He ate lots of chicken, spent a long time in the gym, and proved them wrong.
The following year, Liautaud cooked up a more ambitious plan: to become the youngest-ever person to go to the North Pole. He found a new partner, Doug Stoup, and through a mixture of charm and luck raised the roughly $150, 000 needed for the record attempt. Then disaster struck. The early months of the year, when the two set out, were among the warmest on record. The North Pole, which is essentially a GPS location on a constantly-drifting collection of ice sheets, became virtually inaccessible, surrounded by pieces of uncovered ocean.
A trip which had intended to raise awareness of melting ice caps had been obstructed by melting ice caps. "We would get up, battle through these difficult conditions for 150 hours, then wake up the next morning and find that we were further away from the Pole than we’d started the previous morning, he said. After 14 days’ trying, they admitted defeat.
Liautaud came home and decided to try again the next spring. Conditions were cold but perfect, and he and Stoup reached the Pole in no time. While it might not have made him the youngest North-Poler, the success did give Liautaud a platform to continue advocacy against climate change, through his campaigning website. His view is that it’s his generation that must push hardest for cuts in carbon emissions. He has already contributed to research projects carried out by the International Atomic Energy Agency and will soon set up two stations to record weather data.
【1】How did Liautaud’s family react to his decision to go to the Antarctic?
A．They made fun of it.
B．They were puzzled about it.
C．They turned a deaf ear to it.
D．They tried to talk him out of it.
【2】What prevented Liautaud and Stoup from reaching the North Pole?
A．The lack of funds.
B．A natural disaster.
C．The movement of the ice.
D．The failure of the equipment.
【3】Why was Liautaud determined to go to the North Pole?
A．To push his physical limits.
B．To support environmental protection.
C．To become an experienced North-Poler.
D．To finish a research project for his website.
【4】Which of the following words can best describe Liautaud as a young man?
A．Demanding.
B．Generous.
C．Responsible.
D．Cooperative.
22、Many of us are lucky enough to have some degree of choice over what we eat But are the decisions we make about our diet as free as we like to think? What if there are some factors influencing what we eat?
Actually, we’re hugely influenced by other people — especially those closest to us. Research has found that the closer and stronger two peopled connection, the more influence they have on each other’s food choices.
“A lot of our cues (暗示) from face-to-face interactions are linked with who we’re with,” says Solveig Argeseanu, associate professor of global health at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, US. This can mean these social cues generally encourage us to eat more, Argeseanu adds. Being around healthy eaters may encourage you to eat healthier, too, according to research.
What’s more,our eating habits are also influenced by what we see. ‘There is some evidence that, if you see pictures of food, they stimulate you to eat,” says Suzanne Higgs, professor in the psychobiology of appetite at the University of Birmingham, UK.
Besides, social media is another factor that influences our food choices. It is one place where visual and social cues meet. If friends in your social network post regularly about particular types of food, it could lead you to copy them, for better or for worse.
“If all your friends on social media are posting pictures of themselves consuming fast food,it’s going to set a norm(标准)that eating fast food is what people do,” says Higgs. One study estimated that children and adolescents see marketing for fast food between 30 and 189 times per week on social media apps. Therefore, social media with no doubt influences them a lot.

【3】What does the underlined word “stimulate” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Select.

23、The post-vacation syndrome (综合症) affects the majority of students. 【1】 Symptoms can last a few days, a week, or up to 15 days. Here are some tips that will help you manage it.

24、 In every school there is a "top" crowd that sets the pace, while the others follow their lead. For example, the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters. Very soon everybody is wearing a bright red sweater. There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that bright red is not suitable on some people at all.
The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at 70 miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are causing danger to people's lives. They are like sheep being led to the slaughterhouse (屠宰场）
Perhaps you have come across situations like these more than once in your life. In fact, at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, "The crowd does it. " Well, let the crowd do it, but don't do it yourself. Learn to say, "No"
