21、While new phones are advertised as “water resistant (防水)”, this doesn't mean they are waterproof, or totally immune to water. Water resistance just implies the device can handle some exposure to water before substantial damage occurs.
The water resistance of phones is rated by an “ingress (进入) protection” code, commonly called an IP rating. The rating includes two numbers. The first demonstrates protection against solids such as dust, while the second indicates resistance to liquids, specifically water. a phone that has a rating of IP68 has a solid object protection of 6 (full protection from dust, dirt and sand) and a liquid protection of 8 (protected from immersion in water to a depth of more than one metre).
The popular iPhone 12 and Samsung Galaxy S21 phones both have a rating of IP68. However, regarding exposure to water, the iPhone 12 has a permissible immersion depth of a maximum of 6m for 30 minutes whereas the Galaxy 21's immersion limit is up to 1. 5m, also for 30 minutes.
While IP ratings indicate the water-resistant nature of phones, taking most phones for a swim will land you in deep trouble. The salt content in oceans and swimming pools can corrode (腐蚀) our device and cost you a heavy replacement.
Then how to fix a water-logged phone? Follow these steps: First, turn off the device immediately and don’t press any buttons. then wipe the phone dry with paper towels or a soft cloth and gently shake the device to remove water from the charging ports. Next, remove the SIM card and dry out the phone in front of a fan. Do not charge the phone until you are certain it's dry.
If the above steps don’t help and you're still stuck with a seemingly dead device, don't try opening the phone yourself. You're better off taking it to a professional.
【1】What can you infer from Para. 2?
A．The water resistance of phones is evaluated by an IP rating.
B．The rating is made up of several numbers.
C．The first IP rating number indicates resistance to liquids.
D．A phone with a rating of IP68 has a solid protection of 8.
【2】What does the underlined word in Para. 4 refer to?
A．Things are not made by people.
B．The way that things happen.
C．The way of an act of a person.
D．The basic qualities of a thing.
【3】What should we first do with a water-logged phone?
A．We should pick it up from the water.
B．We should ask a professional for help.
C．We should switch it off and don't use it.
D．We should wipe it dry with paper towels or a soft cloth.
【4】what is the passage mainly about?
A．It focuses on the meaning of IP rating.
B．It is mainly about the water resistance of a phone.
C．It is about the IP rating and solutions to a water-logged phone.
D．It mainly deals with the classification of water resistance phones.
22、You put a great deal of effort into reaching the college of your choice. It’s time to get started. But what’s next? Beginning college can be an exciting but awkward time. Follow these tips to adjust to your new life rapidly and make the most of your college experience.
● To save time and money, use the college’s bus system. Taking the bus to school is quick, easy and free in most college towns. You won’t have to locate or afford a place to park either. It’s also a good way to be environmentally aware.
● Save pennies on books by waiting until class starts. You might not even need all of the recommended books. New textbooks cost an arm and a leg. Try buying used textbooks — it’s a surefire way to save money and serves the purpose as well.
● Do never look at college life as an endless series of parties and social activities. But there is a whole lot more to college if you’re serious about graduating. Having a good college experience is all about balancing work and fun.
● Be aware that your living environment can largely affect your academic success. If the dorm doesn’t suit you, consider living at home with your family or renting your own apartment. The best location for your studies isn’t always your dorm. Find a quiet area, like the library, to do your work. Alternatively, buy some headphones that block out noise.
● Be mindful of your diet. Make healthy food choices and watch what you eat. Avoid foods that are processed or high in sugar. The “freshman 15” is real. Many college students gain at least 15 pounds during their freshmen year.
● While electives (选修课) can be helpful when figuring out your major, you shouldn’t entirely rely on them. Clubs and other organizations exist around. Get involved. Make sure, though, that you still have time to study. Having too much on your plate can hurt your grades.
【1】 Which of the following ideas can be financially wise?
A. Driving your own car. B. Buying used books.
C. Renting an apartment. D. Attending activities.
【2】In the text, freshmen are repeatedly warned against ______.
A. academic failures B. physical problems

【3】The “freshman 15” tells the fact that some freshmen ______.
A. attend limited activities on campus
B. have little regular physical exercise
C. focus less on their academic work
D. take relaxed attitudes to their diets
【4】The underlined phrase “having too much on your plate” in the last paragraph probably refers to ______.
A. using too much money for meals
B. eating too many unhealthy foods
C. taking part in too many after-class activities
D. taking an elective that has too many students
23、When Shakespeare called sleep “nature’s soft nurse”, he was certainly onto something. Centuries later, researchers have’ found that inadequate sleep in children affects their emotional functioning in ways that may predict longer- term social problems. A new study, conducted by a professor of psychology, Candice Alfano, examined whether changes in children’s facial expressions of emotion after sleep restriction (限制) predict social problems concurrently (同时发生) and/or over time.
“Sleep problems in children are routinely linked with lower social competence and more problems in peer (同龄) relationships, but we really don’t understand what drives these associations,” reports Alfano, assuming that the answers might partly lie in the ways children’s faces express emotions when tired.
To test this theory, Alfano and colleagues examined 37 children between the ages of 7 and 11 during two in-lab emotional assessments: one when children were well-rested and the other after two nights of partial sleep restriction. During these assessments, children viewed positive(think kittens and ice cream) and negative (think getting a shot and fierce dogs) pictures on a computer screen while a camera recorded their facial expressions. Participants’ parents provided reports of their child’s social functioning at that time and approximately two years later.
“As we suspected, children who displayed less positive facial expressions in response to pleasant images when sleep was restricted were reported to have more social problems two years later, even when controlling for earlier social problems.” said Alfano.
Although concurrent relationships between sleep-based changes in facial expressions and social problems were not found, Alfano suggests that this may be due to developmental differences in social behavior and peer relationships.
“For younger children, more clearly-shown behaviors such as sharing and taking turns may be more important for friendships than facial expressions. However, emotional expression becomes more important with age, explains Alfano.
The results indicate poor sleep quality in childhood forecasts later socio-emotional problems and also indicate the importance of studies exploring how sleep affects many aspects of children’s mental health and well-being.
【1】Why is Shakespeare’s comparison used?
A．To compare different attitudes towards sleep.
B．To show good sleep is essential to our health.
C．To indicate man’s energy is closely related to sleep.
D．To create the connection between art and research .
【2】What was the research mainly targeted at?
A．Sleeping amount.
B．Children’s health.
C．Facial expressions.
D．Emotional problems.
【3】What role did the parents play in the study?
A．Research testers.
B．Media reporters.
C．Data collectors.
D．Experiment organizers.
【4】What can we infer from Alfano?
A．Overtired children’s expressions can tell their present social problems.
B．More factors influence children’s concurrent social functioning.
C．Good sleep is sure to guarantee a good peer relationship.
D．Age will help reduce emotional problems.
24、When Kate’s paintings were on show in London, a poet described her paintings as “a ribbon (丝带）around a bomb”. Such comments seem to suggest Kate had a big influence on the art world of her time. Sadly, she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.
Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City, Kate suffered from polio（小儿麻痹症）at the age of seven. Her spine (脊柱) became bent as she grew older. Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident. Throughout the rest of her life, the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering, Kate taught herself to paint.
In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican artist. Rivera’s strong influences on Kate’s style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.
Unfortunately, her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and1940s, even in her home country. Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953. For more than a decade after her death in 1954, Kate’s works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.
【1】What does the underlined phrase “a much bigger name” in paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A. A far better artist.
B. A far more gifted artist.
C. A much stronger person.
D. A much more famous person.
