21、   The traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same again. In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produce eco-friendly tents made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.

Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events each year. For his final year project at the University of the West of England, James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.

Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, Mr. Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called Myhabs.

The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr. Dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.

To raise money for the idea, he toured the city's private companies which fund new business and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mint's directors and won their support. Mint has committed around £ 500,000 to Myhabs and taken a share of 30 percent in Mr. Dunlop's business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.

Mr. Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.

For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhabs team before the festivalgoers arrive and removed by the company afterwards. They can be personalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior advertising space.

The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with Glastonbury having some 150,000 each year. Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the UK. The events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.

【1】“Ecofriendly tents” in Paragraph 1 refer to tents ________.

A．economically desirable

B．favorable to the environment

C．for holding music performances

D．designed for disaster relief

【2】Mr. Dunlop established his business ________.

A．independently with an interest free loan from Mint

B．with the approval of the City's administration

C．in partnership with a finance group

D．with the help of a Japanese architect

【3】It is implied in the passage that ________.

A．the weather in the UK is changeable in summer

B．most performances at British festivals are given in the open air

C．the cardboard tents produced by Mr. Dunlop can be user-tailored

D．cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users

22、Why Do People Blink Their Eyes?

People blink(眨眼) their eyes tens of thousands of times every day. Scientists have long believed blinking was an involuntary movement and served mainly to keep the eyeballs wet. But a new study suggests it has a more important purpose.

An international team of scientists from the University of California at Berkeley studied the blinking of human eyelids. The journal Current Biology published their findings. The team said they found that blinking “repositions our eyeballs so we can stay focused” on what we are seeing. They said that when we blink our eyelids, the eyes roll back into their sockets--the bony area that surrounds and protects the eyes. However, the researchers found the eyes don’t always return to the same position. They said this causes the brain to tell the eye muscles to reorganize our eyesight.

Gerrit Maus is the lead writer of the report. He serves as an assistant professor of psychology at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Maus says: “Our eye muscles are quite sluggish(迟缓的) and imprecise, so the brain needs to constantly adapt its motor signals to make sure our eyes are pointing where they’re supposed to. Our findings suggested that the brain measures the difference in what we see before and after a blink, and commands the eye muscles to make the needed corrections.” The researchers said that without such corrections our surroundings would appear unclear and even jumpy. They said the movement acts “like a Steadicam(摄影稳定器) of the mind.”

The researchers said they asked volunteers to sit in a dark room while staring at a small dot on a flat surface. They used special cameras to follow the volunteer’s blinks and eye movements. After each blink, the dot was moved one centimeter to the right. The volunteers did not notice this, but the brain did. It followed the movement and directed the eye muscles to refocus on the dot. After the dot was moved in this way 30 times, the volunteers’ eyes changed their focus to the place where they predicted it would be.

Professor Maus says “Even though participants did not consciously register that the dot had moved, their brains did, and adjusted with the corrective eye movement. These findings add to our understanding of how the brain constantly adapts to changes, commanding our eye muscles to correct for errors in our bodies’ own hardware.”

【1】According to the new study, blinking eyes can .

A. serve to keep the eyeballs wet

B. consciously correct eye movements

C. reposition eyeballs to stay focused

D. make our eyes adapt to motor signals

【2】From the experiment, we can learn that .

A. the brain commanded the eye muscles to refocus on the dot

B. the eyeballs could stay in the place as they were predicted

C. participants were aware of the dot’s movements to the right

D. volunteers could see the moving dot with special cameras

【3】The underlined word “register” in Paragraph 5 possibly means .

A. reason   B. refocus

C. reserve   D. realize

【4】This passage shows that .

A. eye muscles are quite inactive and imprecise

B. the research is of great value in the eye movement

C. volunteers control their blinks to follow the changes of the dots

D. the brain plays an important role in seeing things clearly

23、When a humpback whale began playing with Nan Hauser like a toy, she feared the worst. The 50,000-pound mammal swam toward the marine biologist and began to push her forward.

Nan had been deep-sea diving for 28 years, but had never known a whale like this. It seemed to keep throwing Nan on its head and back. Most of all, it wanted to keep Nan under its pectoral fin (胸鳍). For ten tense minutes, the whale lifted Nan out of the ocean. She tried to keep cool and calm, but she was aware that at any moment, the whale could break her bones or organs. She smelt death.

Nan believed the encounter would not end well. Fortunately for her, it did! The whale left her alone long enough for her to surface and return to her research vessel.

Onboard the boat, she saw a 15-foot-long tiger shark swimming quietly on the other side of the whale. The heroic humpback wasn’t playing with her or attacking her. It was protecting her from a deadly predator. Nan later learned that at the same time, another humpback whale was busy keeping the shark at bay. She was moved to tears.

In another story, biologist Adam Warwick saved a black bear from drowning.

When the authorities saw a bear wandering around the streets of Florida, they shot a tranquilizer dart into the 375-pound hungry male, but he escaped into the Gulf of Mexico. The bear was attempting to swim four miles across the harbor. But after just 25 yards, he began to struggle.

Realizing the bear would drown, Adam jumped into the water immediately. He got in front of the bear and began splashing and shouting to try to make him turn around. In a panic, the bear attempted to attack Adam. The six-foot-tall bear reared up, but then fell backward underwater. Adam wrapped his arms around the half-awake animal’s neck. Keeping the bear’s head above water, he dragged him to safety.

【1】How did Nan really feel when the whale lifted her out of the ocean?

A．Calm.

B．Excited.

C．Desperate.

D．Puzzled.

【2】What does the underlined word “vessel” probably mean?

A．Target.

B．Boat.

C．Laboratory.

D．Car.

【3】Why did Adam jump into the water?

A．He got to swim in the gulf.

B．He would swim across the harbor.

C．He attempted to save the bear.

D．He decided to drown the bear.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Life and death rescue

B．An encounter with the whale

C．Bears: dangerous or endangered?

D．The wild within the city

24、   Learning a new language like English can be a challenge, but with regular study, it can be done. Classes are important, but so is disciplined practice.【1】Here are some guidelines to help you become a better English student.

【2】Instead of focusing on one single task for the entire study session, try mixing things up. Study a little grammar, then do a short listening exercise, and then perhaps read an article on the same topic. Don't do too much; 20 minutes on three different exercises is plenty. The variety will make studying more fun.

React watch and listen. By reading English-language newspapers, listening to music or watching TV repeatedly, you’ll unconsciously absorb things like pronunciation, speech patterns and grammar. Keep pen and paper handy and write down unfamiliar words you encounter. And do research to learn what those new words mean.【3】

Play vocabulary and grammar games. For example, if you’re going to study English on topics that focus on vacations, take a moment to think about your last trip and what you did.【4】

And if you’re going to study verbs in the past tense, stop to think about what you did last weekend. Write down the verbs you use and review the various tenses. These games will make you think critically about vocabulary and usage.

Write it down. Take 30 minutes at the end of class to write down what happened during our day. Once you’re comfortable writing about your day, challenge yourself with creative writing exercises.【5】Or write a poem about someone you know well. You’ll have fun and study English effectively.

A.Study every day.

B.Keep things fresh.

C.It can even be fun.

D.Then use them the next time you are role-playing dialogue in class.

E.Make a list of all the words you might use to describe your activities.

F.Don’t be afraid to consult reference materials when studying grammar.

G.Choose a photo from a book or magazine and describe it in a short paragraph.

25、   We’re told that writing is dying. Typing on keyboards and screens _______ written communication today. Learning cursive (草书的), joined-up handwriting was once _______ in schools. But now, not so much. Countries such as Finland have dropped joined-up handwriting lessons in school _______ typing courses. And in the US, the requirement to learn cursive has been left out of core standards since 2013. A few US states still place value on formative cursive education, such as Arizona, but they’re not the _______.

Some experts point out that writing lessons can have indirect benefits. Anne Trubek author of The history and Uncertain Future of Handwriting, argues that such lessons can _______ a skill called auto-maticity. That’s when you’ve perfected a task, and can do it almost without thinking, granting you _______ mental bandwidth to think about or do other things while you’re doing the task. In this sense, Trubek compares handwriting to driving.

“Once you have driven for a while, you don’t _______ think ‘Step on gas now’ or ‘Turn the steering wheel a bit,’” he explains. “You just do it. That’s what we want children to _______ when learning to write. You and I don’t think ‘now make a loop going up for the ‘I”-or “now look for the letter ‘r’ on the keyboard’. Trubek has written many essays and books on handwriting, and she doesn’t believe it will die out for a very long time. _______, she believes students are learning auto-maticity faster with keyboards than with handwriting: students are learning how to type without looking at the keys at earlier ages, and to type faster than they could write, granting them extra time to think about word choice or sentence __________. In an essay for the New York Times last year, Trubek argued that due to the __________ automaticity of keyboards, today’s children may well become better communicators in text as handwriting takes up less of their education. This is a view that has attracted both criticism and support.

She explains that two of the most common arguments she hears from __________ regarding the decline of handwriting is that not protecting it will result in a “loss of history” and a “loss of __________ touch.”

On the former she __________ that 95% of handwritten manuscripts can’t be read by the average person anyway-“that’s why we have paleographers (古文字学家),” she explains, paleography being the study of ancient styles of writing-while the __________ refers to the warm associations we give to handwritten personal notes, such as thank-you cards. Some educators seem to agree, at least to an extent.

【1】A.defines B.dominates C.initiate D.benefits
