21、Here is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone can’t make us tire. It sounds absurd. But a years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue (疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.
So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired? Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional(情绪的) attitudes. One of England’s most outstanding scientists, J.A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”
What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated---those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.
【1】 What surprised the scientists a few years ago?
A. Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer’s blood.
B. Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn after a day’s work.
C. The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.
D. A mental worker’s blood was filled with fatigue toxins.
【2】According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?
A. Challenging mental work. B. Unpleasant emotions.
C. Endless tasks. D. Physical labor
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards the scientists’ idea?
A. He agrees with them.
B. He doubts them.
C. He argues against them.
D. He hesitates to accept them.
【4】We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to ________.
A. have some good food.
B. enjoy their work
C. exercise regularly
D. discover fatigue toxins
22、 Like most senior high school students in China, 17-year-old Liu Yu, from Yantai Development Zone Senior High School, Shandong, had planned to resume her studies earlier this year to prepare for the upcoming gaokao.
However, the Ministry of Education (MOE) announced in late January that the spring term for all schools would be put off due to the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak, forcing students like Liu to stay at home.
Rather than falling behind their original plan, Liu and many others have already begun studying full-time again – only from home – in what may have become the largest online teaching trial the country has ever seen.
To go with students’ new learning environment, a “cloud platform” was launched on Feb 17 to provide students in elementary and secondary schools with education resources covering all major school subjects, noted Lü Yugang, head of the ministry’s Department of Basic Education.“Students will be able to attend classes online or study via television,” he told China Daily.
For students in remote or rural areas with poor internet accessibility（获取）, a television channel by China Education Television started airing classes on Feb 17 so they can study at home, Xinhua News Agency reported.
But the online platform and TV channel don’t just offer school knowledge.Students can also learn about epidemic（流行病） prevention and control tips during the period, and receive education on patriotism, life and psychological health, according to a guideline issued by the MOE.
For some students, the chance to study from home has had some unexpected benefits.Yuan Siyi, who lives in Hubei province, used to get up before 6 am on school days, but since starting online courses, she gets more hours of sleep each morning.“I like online teaching because I have more freedom at home,” Yuan, who began her all-day courses on Feb 3, told TEENS.
However, online teaching and learning has its weaknesses compared to studying in a physical classroom.“My motivation to study is stronger when my classmates are around me and all working very hard,” Yuan said.According to the MOE, online courses are only temporary measures taken during the epidemic.“When the new term begins, schools will not replace classroom teaching with online classes,” Lü added.
【1】Why didn’t Liu Yu back to school earlier this year as scheduled?
A.Because the novel coronavirus pneumonia broke out.
B.Because she was forced to stay at home by her parents.
C.Because the largest online teaching trial was carried out.
D.Because she wanted to prepare for the upcoming gaokao at home.
【2】What do we know about student’s online study?
A.Students’ motivation to online study is certainly stronger.
B.Students may enjoy more freedom to study thanks to the airing classes.
C.Students are able to attend airing classes on the Internet instead of television.
D.Students are provided with education resources of some major subjects by the “cloud platform”.
【3】What is the best title of the passage?
A.Benefits of online learning B.A “cloud platform”
C.Stay in studying D.Epidemic outbreak
23、The moment I entered the Samcheong Park Library in Seoul, I saw the future. The simple building had a nice selection of books and a cafe where readers could enjoy coffee while gazing at the leaves outside. It was specifically designed without any latest technology.
“What's so innovative about that?” a librarian in Toronto asked when I showed her pictures. Innovation to her meant digital technology, like 3D printers. “Why couldn't they both be innovative?” I asked.
We are constantly told that innovation is the most important force in our economy, without which we would be left behind. But that fear of missing out has led us to fall into the false trappings of innovation over truly innovative ideas that may be simpler and more effective. This mindset implies that if you just buy the new thing, you have innovated! Each year, businesses and individuals run around like broken toy robots, trying to figure out their strategy for the latest buzzword equipment.
At best, this is a waste of resource. Devices are bought, used and abandoned, as the technology's capabilities fall short of its promise. But at its worst, this approach can truly cause damage. Schools cut field trips to purchase tablets with few proven benefits. Companies that applied A. I. into hiring have strengthened gender and racial prejudices.
True innovation isn't just some magic devices. It is a continuing process of reflection and reassessment, which often means adopting “old" ideas and tools in a new context, or even returning to methods that worked in the past. Adjusted properly, these rearview innovations have proved as transformative as novel technologies.
Look no farther than the streets of New York, which have been redesigned recently to accommodate cyclists with car-free zones. The idea isn't new. It was created half a century ago, with the aim of bringing cities back to their residents. And while e-reader sales have been exploding, Penguin just announced it would publish tiny printed books, an ideal solution for a market demanding both convenience and physicality.
【1】Why is a librarian mentioned?
A．To set an example.
B．To cite an authority.
C．To present an argument.
D．To make a prediction.
【2】What does the underlined “buzzword” mean in Para. 3?
A．Affordable.
B．Fashionable.
C．Practical.
D．Imaginative.
【3】What does the writer agree with about innovation?
A．Wasted resources lead to innovation.
B．Magic devices encourage innovation.
C．The power of technology is undervalued.
D．Innovation should be human-centered.
24、 China’ Forbidden City----traditionally off-limit at night for anyone except emperors and visiting dignitaries (显要人物）---- was decorated with lanterns as China celebrated the end of the Chinese New Year holiday. The complex, home to Chinese emperors for five centuries, was opened at night for the first time since it was reopened as the Palace Museum 94 years ago.
The complex and palace walls were illuminated with red lanterns and a light show, designed to recreate the feelings of the royal court, while the China National Traditional Orchestra and the Peking Opera performed. An image of a treasured scroll called A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains was cast onto the palace roof.
Most of China’s 1.3 billion people, however, had to watch the show on television. Only 3,000 people were allowed in: 2,500 invited guests and 500 people who booked their tickets online. “The 3,000 visitors can show off for the whole year,” one person said on Weibo. When booking for the second day opened at midnight, the booking system crashed for more than an hour due to great demand. The free tickets were quickly taken when it reopened. A lively secondary market soon appeared. Scalpers were selling tickets for as much as 9,999 yuan on online trading sites.
The Palace Museum is now on a campaign to attract more visitors, with its former curator Shan Jixiang saying he wants to make traditional Chinese culture more accessible to the general public. More than 80 percent of the palace is now accessible to visitors, up from 30 percent in 2012. Shan has set a target of 85 percent by 2020 to mark the palace’s 600th anniversary . Creativity today has made the Palace Museum younger and drawn traditional culture closer to the public.
【1】What does the underlined word “illuminate”probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Cared for. B.Lit up.
C.Picked out. D.Kept safe.
【2】How do most Chinese admire the night view of the Forbidden City ?

Being a suspect in the disappearance of girl in France
One of the funny adventure stories that I have is from the time I found a 5-month housesit in the middle of the French countryside. It sounded idyllic (悠闲的), and perfect for me and my girlfriend at the time who had just started out as digital natives.
In reality, it wasn’t quite as idyllic as advertised. The biggest issue was the lack of Internet; something which was supposed to have been installed by the time we arrived. But, we made do. We bought French sim cards with 3 GB of Internet each (the max we could get at the time) and vowed never to look at YouTube or anything that might use lots of data for the entire 5 months.
It was all going perfectly until one day there was a knock at the door and two local French policemen were standing there. They began asking us what we were doing in the property and where the owners were. In the best French, I could manage, I explained the concept of house sitting but I could see it wasn’t going over.
Then, they showed us a picture of a girl who was missing. We hadn’t seen her and, in fact, we didn’t know anyone in the town. We apologized that we couldn’t be of more help, thinking that was that.
It wasn’t. One of the policemen then pulled out a printout of a forum conversation between the missing girl and someone who they believed was her biological father. Then in the forum (论坛) conversation, they showed me a mobile number: my French mobile number.
I didn’t know how to explain it apart from saying that it must be a mistake, but that wasn’t good enough. They asked to see my computer and began looking through the search history. Then, obviously not buying my house sitting story, they asked where the owners were again.
Paragraph 1
Unsatisfied, they told me to come into the police station that afternoon for more questioning at 2 pm.
