21、What do you do when nobody is around to take your picture? You take a selfie(自拍照). But what about selfies in space? Last year, NASA astronaut(宇航员)Buzz Aldrin who famously became the second man to walk on the moon in July 1969, said that he took the first selfie in space during the Gemini Ⅻ mission in 1966.
“For me, it needs to be digital to be a selfie,” argues Jennifer Levasseur, who is in charge of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. According to Levasseur, the idea of a selfie is directly linked to Internet culture and the human wish to interact(互动)on social platforms. “The thing that makes a selfie is sharing it,” she says.
Still, astronauts have been carrying cameras aboard space vehicles since the 1960s, and they’ve taken plenty of pictures of themselves along the way. Astronauts had to pull the film magazines(胶卷暗盒)out and leave their cameras behind when they returned to Earth, because early space missions had a weight limit on the return trip.
A big change in space camera technology came after the sad loss of the space shuttle Columbus, which broke apart on its return to Earth in 2003. “Fearing that they would never be able to bring the film back from space and lose all that hard work quickened the pace for digital,” Levasseur says.
Today, astronauts can have access to the Internet and social platforms in space and post true space selfies taken by digital cameras. Taking selfies and sharing them on social media is a way that astronauts in space can participate in the same activities people on Earth do every day. The first astronaut selfie that went viral(网红的)on the Internet was one by Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide in 2012.
【1】What does Levasseur think of Aldrin’s words?
A．It hardly makes any sense.
B．It develops the technology of space selfies.
C．It is different from public opinions.
D．It needs to be further proved.
【2】Why were cameras left in space on early space missions?
A．To lighten the weight of the spaceship.
B．To test cameras in the special environment.
C．To prepare for the next space exploration.
D．To take more pictures in space.
【3】What pushed space camera technology?
A．The invention of new films.
B．The fear of falling behind in the space race.
C．The concern about the loss of valuable date.
D．The popularity of space selfies.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．The Explanation of Space.
B．The History of Selfies in Space.
C．The Change in Space Camera Technology
D．The Development in Space Technology
22、Why We Still Need Newspapers
If you needed information about the past, you went to the library. If you needed information about the present or the future, you looked to the newspaper. It offers everything you need to know-news, analysis, commentary(实况转播) and practical knowledge.
【1】 Movie times? The theater website. Jobs? LinkedIn. Restaurant reviews? Yelp. Science breakthroughs? Glzmodo. com. Travel recommendations? Trip-advisor.com. If you want information on companies, politicians, sports teams, events, etc., you go straight to the source-websites-and skip the intermediary(中介), the newspaper.
The information age, which made us richer in knowledge, is now making us poorer. 【2】 In the past, the technical and visual quality of online material was a reliable indicator for determining legitimacy(合法性). Most people were not taken in by emails from “wealthy Nigerian princes” thanks to their extremely bad grammar and spelling.
During the last presidential election, however, Russian Facebook posts and Twitter blogs may have been sophisticated(复杂巧妙的) enough to affect quite a few Americans. Unfortunately, it’s going to get worse. Emerging technology can alter photographs and video without leaving obvious signs. In the future，fact and forgery(伪造) will be more indistinguishable. 【3】
While some bloggers provide thoughtful, factually accurate commentary, it is just that, commentary. Good commentary is useful, but it is not news. Similarly, websites operated by industries, think-banks, universities, governments, businesses and community groups, even when 100 percent factual, are selective in their content and biased(倾向性的) toward their own interests. Though valuable, their content presents the whole picture.
【4】 The breadth and depth of the news coverage guided by professional standards that limit bias, however imperfectly, ensure readers are exposed to information that they are not looking for or expect to see.
We human beings don’t really want to see the whole picture most of the time because we are motivated to seek information that we believe.
A．Newspapers have not yet tarted to shut down in large numbers, but it is only a matter of time.
B．The same internet that has eased access to information is enabling the spreading of false and incomplete information.
C．Newspapers don’t present the whole picture either, but they take us a little closer.
D．But today, if you want political commentary you may go to a blog instead.
E．Since the dawn of mass media, newspapers, radio and television have all been used to inform and educate the public.
F．That’s why we must rely on trustworthy intermediaries to tell s and interpret what happened.
23、The easy way out isn’t always easiest. I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal.
I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time, I started on it as soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything. As Doug loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was a sticky dough (面团) covered with ugly yellowish marks. Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn’t have to face Doug laughing at my work. I went on preparing the rest of the meal, and, when Doug got home, we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the windows to see what he was doing. Looking out, I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see.
I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母) made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing. I had to admit what the “living thing” was and why it was there. I don’t know who was more embarrassed by the whole thing — Doug or me.
【1】The writer’s purpose in writing this story is ______.
A．to tell an interesting experience
B．to show the easiest way out of a difficulty
C．to describe the trouble facing a newly married woman
D．to explain the difficulty of learning to cook from books
【2】Why did the woman’s attempt at making the bread turn out to be unsuccessful?
A．The canned orange had gone bad.
B．She didn’t use the right kind of flour.
C．The cookbook was hard to understand.
D．She did not follow the directions closely.
【3】What made the dough in the rubbish bin look frightening?
A．The rising and falling movement.
B．The strange-looking marks.
C．Its shape.
D．Its size.
24、Mr Brown was going away for a week.

The boy put his hand into his pocket at once and looked for the piece of paper. He could not find it. He suddenly remembered he had burnt it, so he shouted, "No more."The man was very surprised.
