21、As the Internet is closely linked to almost every aspect of modern life, it’s difficult to avoid having some kind of presence online.
【1】 It is like the evidence you might leave behind after going camping, such as remains of a campfire, your dinner scraps(碎屑), and the path you carved in the woods while hiking.
【2】 This footprint tends to fall into two categories, depending on whether you’re leaving an active digital footprint or a passive one. An active digital footprint is data you leave on the Internet because you intended to do so, such as emails and text messages, comments you’ve left on articles or videos, and social media posts. 【3】 Unintentional data can be cookies and tracking data created by web browsing activity, geolocation data generated when using maps, your IP address and so on.
In some cases, there’s a legal use of your digital footprint. Some website owners and advertisers collect information about your online habits and purchasing preferences to better accommodate your need. But the data can also be used by hackers, criminals and other malicious actors. 【4】 Besides, criminals can gather enough information about a person to target them for fraud.
It’s inevitable to leave some sort of digital footprint in your wake online. To reduce the risk, avoid using your primary email address when creating online accounts. Don’t overshare your personal life. 【5】
A．In the case of your digital footprint, the evidence you leave behind is data.
B．You can create disposable（一次性的）email addresses to avoid the risk.
C．Perhaps the biggest risk people face online is having their identity stolen.
D．Likewise, your passive digital footprint is created by your unintentional data.
E．And not giving websites the right to sell your data may also minimize the risk.
F．Increasingly, websites are adding privacy tools to restrict the use of your personal information.
G．The degree to which you leave traces of your online activities is referred to as your digital footprint.
22、 We know it’s good to learn another language. It opens doors, makes you more employable, helps you make new friends, and it’s fun too. But to improve our language skills, many of us have to endure hours of school lessons or evening classes, with our heads buried in textbooks. It’s no wonder that technology appears to be providing a better and more accessible way of learning.
There is certainly a huge demand for language learning, and having a smart phone means you can have a virtual teacher with you wherever you go. Many app developers are keen to earn money on the demand, and there are numerous learning apps available.
Some educational apps offer languages not popular enough to be taught at evening classes, or at most universities. And others offer “invented” language courses in Esperanto, Elvish and Star Trek’s Klingon –– lessons you might not find in a traditional classroom. Whatever you want to learn, apps allow you to go at your own pace and fit learning around other commitments. But they’re not perfect –– you might not get your head round the grammar and will lack the partner support you could get in a classroom environment.
So, does technology imply the end of traditional classrooms and teachers? Guy Baron, head of modern languages at Aberystwyth University, thinks not. He thought that apps should be used alongside classroom methods, not to the exclude traditional teaching. And he adds: “The apps are not formal... they’re not designed for degrees, but they could be additional resources.”
Certainly, technology is going to help in and outside the classroom. But attending a real lesson, facing a real teacher, probably forces you to be more devoted. Motivation can be a problem when using an app. But if you have a genuine and practical reason to learn another language, you will no doubt stick with it.
【1】All the following are the benefits of learning another language except _______________.
A.saving you more money
B.giving you much pleasure
C.helping you in making new friends
D.making you more competitive in finding jobs
【2】It can be learned from paragraph 3 that _______________.
A.apps permit you to learn at your own pace
B.languages taught on apps are common ones
C.you can learn any language on educational apps
D.you don’t need partner support while learning on apps
【3】According to the author, using an app _______________.
A.can make you stick with it
B.shouldn’t be considered at all
C.fails to make you more devoted
D.will offer you a strong motivation
23、What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?
Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps producers to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream –as well as for developing over 75 flavors(味道).
Some people think that it would be easy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No — there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.
In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and rates 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12 F. Harrisonexplains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”
While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,”he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the colour expected from that flavor?”Next it’s time to taste!
Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy – working at once cool job.
【1】What is John Harrison’s job?
A．An official.
B．An ice-cream taster.
C．A chemist.
D．An ice-cream producer
【2】According to John Harrison, to be qualified(有资格的) in the “cool field”, it is helpful to .
A．keep a diary of work.
B．have a degree in related subjects.
C．have new ideas every day.
D．find out new flavors each day.
【3】What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?
A．He stirs the ice cream.
B．He examines the colour of the ice cream.
C．He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.
D．He lets the ice cream warm up.
【4】Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?
A．Tasting with Eyes.
B．Flavors of Ice Cream.
C．John Harrison’s Life.
D．One Cool Job.
24、 Teachers say that the digital age has had a good influence and a not-so-good influence on American teenagers. More than 2,000 middle school teachers took an online survey. Researchers also spoke with teachers in some groups. Most teachers think the Internet and digital search tools have had a mostly positive (积极的) influence on their students’ research habits and skills. But at the same time, some teachers also point out some problems in teenagers’ using digital search tools.
The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the College Board and the National Writing Project. Judy Buchanan is the director of the National Writing Project and a co-writer of the report. She says digital search tools are helping students learn more, and learn faster. “Both teachers and students really welcome these tools because they make learning exciting. And the goal（目的）is to really help students become creators of something meaningful, and not just users of the online information.”
But one problem the survey found is that these technologies make teenagers have short attention spans (持续时间). As there is lots of information about different subjects on the Internet, teenagers’ attention is easily drawn away from their research.
Another problem the survey found is that many students trust the information they find on the Internet too much. Judy Buchanan says these students have not developed the skills to judge (判断) the online information. They need to learn a lot to tell if the information is believable. It’s something that really has to be paid attention to.
One more problem the survey found is something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to quickly find information online. Many students think “doing research” now means just doing a quick search on Google. Teachers say the result is a drop in the wish and ability of their students to work hard to find answers. That is, they are depending too much on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research librarians.
Many teachers also say that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities.
【1】The result of the survey shows ________.
A.digital search tools need to be greatly improved
B.digital search tools are generally good for teenagers
C.teenagers have difficulty in using digital search tools
D.American teachers enjoy using digital search tools
【2】Using digital search tools makes teenagers ________.
A.less trusting of online information
B.more independent in doing research
C.more willing to work hard to find answers
D.less able to pay full attention while searching
【3】To do better in research, teenagers should ________.
A.spend more time searching online
B.ask their teachers for more advice
C.make better use of printed materials
D.learn more knowledge of search tools
【4】The passage mainly tells us ________.
A.all the students like using digital tools
B.the Internet is playing an important role
C.teachers encourage their students to use digital tools
D.digital tools bring about something helpful and problems

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
续写的词数应为150左右。
My husband, BJ, and I knew our cat, Willow, was beautiful, but we didn't realize she had attracted a friend until the day there was an orange cat sitting on our patio（露台）staring in. He just sat there and was satisfied to watch Willow walking in the house and playing with us.
Day after day, he was there. Then one day, BJ and I decided that it was time to have a talk with the orange gentleman. He opened the patio door and the cat walked into the house naturally as if he knew we allowed him to get in. Then he played with Willow in the house. Both of them had a happy time.
How could he wait patiently on our patio for such a long time? We were surprised by his courage and patience. Every day, the cat would show up, spend the day with us, and then meow（猫咪咪叫）by the door to be let out at night. We had a responsibility to help him open the door and let him go-after all, he wasn't our cat. He was nobody's cat as far as we could tell. He had no collar（颈圈）or tag. I didn't remember how long we had waited before we admitted to ourselves that he was our cat. Then we bought him a collar, tagged him as Buster and added our phone number and address. However, a few days later, we received a call from our neighbor. We weren't home so she left a message.
“Hi, Darlene. I think you have my daughter's cat. Call me when you get this message.”
I was very surprised when I heard the message. I didn’t even know that her daughter had a cat. I only saw her walk dogs before. BJ and I were very upset.
Paragraph 1:
When I called her back, the story of the cat was so funny that I forgot how upset I was.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The next day, the neighbor's young daughter came over to collect her cat
