21、   If you think about World Heritage Sites, you probably think of places connected with ancient art and culture, historical buildings and monuments. And of course, many of these are on the World Heritage List (WHL). But the WHL contains a lot of sites that are not so obvious. Let's look at a few of them.

Robben Island in South Africa

This island was used through the centuries as a prison, a hospital and a military base. But it's probably most famous as a maximum­security prison for political prisoners in the twentieth century. Nelson Mandela was one of its most famous residents. The WHL says it represents “the victory of democracy and freedom over oppression and racism”．

Borders of France and Spain

This is an area of great natural beauty and the mountains have many interesting geological formations. But it is also an area of small farms. People there still use a type of agriculture that used to be common in mountainous areas of Europe but has almost completely disappeared in modern times.

The city of Brasilia , Brazil

Brasilia is a capital city that was created from nothing in 1956. The WHL calls it “a landmark in the history of town planning”. The different areas of the city and the buildings themselves were all designed at the same time carefully. Every part of the city shows the ideas of the planner and architect．

Simien National Park , Ethiopia

Simien National Park was one of the first sites to be listed in 1978. It is one of the highest mountain areas in Africa, and the WHL calls it “one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world”. It is also important for its wildlife. The population of some rare animals is getting smaller and smaller.

【1】The passage mainly talks about ________.

A.the remains of ancient cultures on the WHL B.the household heritage sites on the WHL

C.some of the not so obvious sites on the WHL D.places of artistic or cultural importance

22、Many Americans use smartphones for most or all of their day-to-day communication activities. But how fast are we at using an electronic device? A new study has some answers. A team of researchers carried out an experiment. It involved more than 37, 000 volunteers from over 160 countries.

On average, the volunteers estimated (估计) they spent about six hours a day using their phones. The majority said they used two thumbs (拇指) to write messages. Both Android and iPhone users were tested, and most said they used the device's standard keyboard. The volunteers were given 15 English sentences to type out on their phones as quickly and accurately (精确地) as possible. The research team found that on average, people wrote about 36 words per minute. Those tested made a typing mistake 2.3 percent of the time.

The researchers noted that 36 words per minute is about 25 percent slower than the average rate for people using a computer keyboard. But the fastest phone typists reached speeds of over 80 words per minute. Subjects who reported using two thumbs or two fingers reached speeds of 38 words per minute. Those who said they used only one finger typed 29 words per minute. Among age groups, the fastest typists on an electronic device were between 10 and 19 years old.

Researchers said it makes sense that younger people have higher typing speeds because they generally spend a lot more time on their devices. “Such a large quantity of experience contributes to the development of the typing skill, ” they said. “And it explains why young people — who spend more time with social media, communicating with each other — are picking up higher speeds. ”

The researchers call the difference between typing words on a smartphone and a physical keyboard “the typing gap”. They predict this gap will further narrow (变窄) in the future as people get less skilled with keyboards and as smart methods for typing on devices continue to improve.

【1】What is mainly talked about in the text?

A．How to improve the typing speed on a smartphone.

B．Researchers studied the typing speed on smartphones.

C．Smartphones are widely used in daily communication.

D．People have different ways of typing on their smartphones.

【2】What causes the development of the typing skill on a phone?

A．The use of fingers.

B．Typing with two thumbs.

C．The amount of experience.

D．The practice of the computer keyboards.

【3】What do we know from the last paragraph?

A．Typing on a smartphone is likely to be faster in the future.

B．People will type fewer words on smartphones than on computers.

C．Fewer and fewer people will use computer keyboards in the future.

D．The typing gap will be larger as new typing methods are introduced.

【4】What is the text?

A．An education paper.

B．A blog post.

C．A health investigation.

D．A research report.

23、How to Build a Natural Swimming Pool

Whether you like to practice your dolphin dives or lounge away the day on a raft, swimming is one of summer's perfect pleasures. With a minimum of materials and without so many chemicals, you can create a cooling summer retreat in your back yard.

Though fairly common in Europe, natural swimming pools, are in their early stage in the United States. You can ask most American swimming-pool contractors to build a backyard pool. 【1】. The list may include rebar（钢筋）, gunite(水泥砂浆), fiberglass, chlorine and an energy-sapping filtration system.

But in recent years, a few builders and a growing number of homeowners have learned how to build pools. 【2】. They've found it's possible to construct pools that are more about building with nature and blending into the natural landscape. Natural swimming pools use gravel stone and clay in place of concrete or fiberglass, and aquatic plants instead of harmful chemicals and complicated mechanical filtering systems. 【3】. They also support beneficial bacteria that consume debris and potentially harmful organisms, and give habitat to frogs, dragonflies and other water life.

【4】. A natural pool can he constructed for as little as $2,000 if you do it yourself, while conventional pools can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Natural swimming pools require no harmful chemicals, are fairly low-tech. 【5】. You won’t have to drain the pool each autumn. Except for topping it off now and then, you'll fill the pool only once.

A．The plants enrich the pool with oxygen.

B．Chances are that they will roll out a long list of goods.

C．You can make your pool as shallow or as deep as you want.

D．And once established, they call for only a bit of management.

E．It is the most ecological and economic way to build a conventional pool.

G．The result is a beautiful and ecologically system that is relatively inexpensive to construct.
