21、The popular smartphone application Instagram (照片分享) has changed the way we look at photography, even our world. The photo-worthy moments we share serve as an important function in cultivating the photographic artistic eye.
Instagram has got people to start noticing the art in their everyday life. It has also allowed us to share the artful moments in our lives with others. Clearly, making people focus on beautiful moments in their lives and how to share them is a positive takeaway from Instagram.
Not only has Instagram changed the way we look at things around us, but it has also changed the way people view professional photography. Instagram has turned everyone with a smartphone into an artist. Opening up art to the general community is a groundbreaking (创新的) aspect of this application. Making artistic attempts accessible for everyone to discover their artistic talents and explore creatively is something that has made people find the beauty in the everyday. However, this accessibility has also created questioning around art and respect deserved by professional photography.
The art in a professional photograph versus an Instagram can sometimes be hard to notice at a quick glance. But photographs taken by true professional photographers hold something that Instagram’s can’t match in terms of photographic quality, or advanced compositional knowledge.
This is not to say Instagram is a lesser art. Aesthetic qualities of art are a personal matter and how good an artwork is depends on personal preferences. Good is a very arbitrary term in the art world. For example, I may find one photo more pleasing than another, but not everyone has to agree with me.
The point I am trying to make is that professional photography should not be lost, but instead approached with a new, enhanced level of respect and admiration—despite how accessible, common and fun Instagram now makes the taking and sharing of photos.
【1】What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?
A. The increasing popularity of Instagram.
B. The advantages and disadvantages of Instagram.
C. The changes that Instagram brings us.
D. The differences between Instagram and professional photography.
【2】Why do people begin to doubt the art of professional photography?
A. Because common people can take perfect photos easily.
B. Because they show no respect for professional photographers.
C. Because the artistic level of professional photography is reducing.
D. Because Instagram has changed the way people look at the world.
【3】What does the writer think of professional photography?
A. useful. B. valueless.
C. helpless. D. absurd.
22、 Perhaps you’ve visited a restaurant and seen clear, water-filled bags hanging on the doors．You might ask，“What’s all this about? Some crazy new way to control temperature?A method of saving money on water containers?”While any effect on temperature is purely accidental，these hanging bags are all about driving pests away．
The water bag method to drive flies away has many supporters So how does the method drive flies away?Some insist the flies regard the clear liquid as the surface of a body of water．Others think the insect flies away at the sight of its own big reflection．But the most popular reasoning that exists among scientists is light refraction(折射)．
The insect’s fiead mostly consists of a pair of large complex eyes，each of which is made up of 3，000，to 6,000 simple eyes．These eyes can’t focus on objects like human eyes，instead they provide the fly with a mosaic(拼凑的)view of the world around them．A housefly bases its sense of direction on the sunlight．Some scientists believe that when these complex and sensitive eyes experience refracted light，the insect becomes confused and flies away．
Plenty of people don’t think water bags can keep flies away．Mike Stringham，a professor，conducted a 13-week field trial on two egg farms．He concluded those areas equipped with water bags actually experienced higher levels of housefly activity．Its purpose was to determine whether the water bags could be used to decrease fly populations on egg farms．
So do bags of water lower the number of houseflies around homes and restaurants? There are reasonable explanations that argue yes and strong evidence that proves no．Anyway，you can still find water bags hanging near restaurants and backyards across the globe．
【1】Some restaurants hang water-filled bags on the doors to ____________．
A．control temperature B．get hot water
C．save money D．drive flies off
【2】What is considered more reasonable about the water bag method?
A．The light refraction of the bag drives flies away．
B．Flies are frightened away by their own reflections．
C．Flies mistake the bags as the surface of the waters．
D．The heat of the bags by the sunlight keeps flies off．
【3】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．How many eyes a fly has．
B．How flies focus on objects．
C．Where flies can get sunlight．
D．Why refracted light keeps flies away．
【4】We can describe the water bag method as“______________．”
A．practical B．useless
C．controversial D．Ridiculous
23、 Ana, her husband Mario, and their four-year old son Antonio just moved to North Carolina. They need a temporary place to call “home” until they get settled into their new surroundings. So, Ana figured that she had better start looking for an apartment for them to stay in.
First, Ana picked up an Apartment Book at her local newspaper stand. The Apartment Book contained listings of all the major apartment complexes in her area.
Ana started by looking at the prices in the advertisements for apartments in the Apartment Book. Then, she read about the amenities that each apartment complex offered. For example, some apartments had a clubhouse, a gym (also called a “fitness center”), and a pool. After considering prices, amenities, and locations, Ana found a few apartment complexes that she liked.
Ana called the apartment complexes. She set up appointments with the apartment managers to see the apartments she found interesting. Ana made five phone calls, total. “I’ll see you then,” she said to the fifth apartment manager, and hung up the phone.
When Mario got home (to the hotel in which they were staying) from work, Ana showed him the list of apartments. “These look good,” he said.
“Mommy, let me see,” said Antonio, whom Mario had just brought home from childcare. Ana showed Antonio the pictures of the apartments.
The next day, while Mario was at work and Antonio was at childcare, Ana visited the apartment complexes. After visiting all five, she found that she liked the fifth one the best. It was near a good school system for her son, and it was near her and her husband’s workplace. She went home and discussed it with her husband, and they decided that they wanted to rent the apartment. The next day, they called the manager of the apartment complex and told him that they would like the apartment.
The manager asked them to sign a rental contract and pay a security deposit so that if any damage was done to the apartment while they were in it, the security deposit would pay for it. They signed the rental contract and paid the security deposit.
Finally, they had a place to stay.
【1】Which of the following is not an amenity?
A.Clubhouse. B.Fitness center.
C.Pool. D.High ceilings.
【2】What did Ana consider while looking through the Apartment Book?
A.Prices. B.Amenities.
C.Locations. D.All of the above.
【3】Why is the security deposit needed when people rent a house?
A.Because it ensures that a renter will pay the rent on time.
B.Because it ensures that a renter will not have pets on the property.
C.Because it ensures that any damage done to the apartment will be paid for by the renter.
D.Because it ensures that any damage done to the apartment is kept to a minimum.
【4】What do we know about Ana?
A.She was a smart and organized wife.
B.She signed the rental contract on her own.
C.She bought a home for her family in Carolina.
D.Her husband worked in a hotel.
24、Studies over the past decade at the University of Utah show that hands-free cellphones are just as harmful to drivers as hand-held ones because it is the conversation, not the phone, that is distracting(分散) their attention. “Even though your eyes are looking right at something, when you are on the cellphone, you are not as likely to see it,” says Professor David Strayer. “Ninety-nine percent of the time, it's not that critical(危急的), but that l% could be the time a child runs into the street,” he adds.
Dr. Strayer’s studies have also found that talking on a cellphone is far more distracting than talking with a passenger. Listening to the radio, to music or to a book on tape also isn’t as distracting, because it doesn’t require the same level of interaction as a conversation. But even drivers may miss some details of a book on tape if their attention is focused on driving tasks. Some people can train themselves to pay extra attention to things that are important—like police officers learn to search faces in crowds.
And the Utah researchers have found a rare group of “super-taskers”—about 2.5% of the population—who seem able to attend to more than one thing with ease.
Many more people think they can effectively do several things at the same time, but they are really turning their attention rapidly between two things and not getting the full effect of either. Clearly, it is easier to put some tasks together than others.” Not all distractions are the same,’’ says Dr. Strayer. Things like cleaning and working out can be done automatically while the mind is focused elsewhere. But doing homework and texting at the same time isn’t possible. Even talking and watching TV is difficult. “Just try talking with your wife while watching football. It’s impossible,” jokes Dr. Strayer.
【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The harm in using phones while driving.
B. The advantages of hand-held phones.
C. The danger of running in the street.
D. The causes of road accidents.
【2】What does the example of police officers in Paragraph 2 show?
A. Searching for faces requires more attention than driving.
B. Talking to a crowd calls for a high level of attention.
C. One’s attention can be easily distracted in crowds.
D. The ability to attend to two tasks can be trained.
【3】“Super-taskers” can be best described as people who can .
A. do several things effectively at the same time
B. turn their attention rapidly to two things
C. handle all difficult tasks with ease
D. pay full attention to one task
【4】Which of the following can you do while talking on the phone?

25、We moved there on my third birthday. My first _______ is our neighbor Arlene handing me strawberries from her garden through a hole in the chain-link fence. She and her husband, Bill, lived next door.
One day, my parents asked Bill and Arlene whether they’d watch me _______ they were out on a date. This _______ well for everyone, so it became a somewhat monthly occurrence. Arlene and Bill didn’t have kids. They had a _______ room in their house, which became “my” room. I had a cabinet and boxes of toys and books in that room. Arlene and I would do crafts together. Bill taught me how to _______ the lawn tractor and eventually a car (stick and automatic).
When I was about five, I had an idea. My parents were watching TV when I spit it out: “What if I adopt Bill and Arlene as my _______?” My parents said I could go over and ask them. I _______ on Bill and Arlene’s door, sat down in their living room, and said, “Will you guys be my grandparents?” They started crying and _______ accepted. Soon after, they printed out an adoption _______, and it hung on their living room wall from then on.
I remember being surprised that they took my ________ so seriously — not because I wasn’t serious but because I was just a kid. They could have ________ it off. Thinking of that moment still brings tears to my eyes. There is something truly magnificent about a child offering up her love and ________ being so excited to accept it. Every child in this world ________ enthusiastically responded love.
Arlene passed away in 2013, two days before our adoption anniversary. Bill gave her eulogy (悼词). At the end, he said, “Arlene ________ her husband, Bill. And the greatest joy of her life, her granddaughter, Katie.”
