21、If you have a bad habit of losing things, a new device that can be connected to any item that you might lose may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to the missing item, within a 50-to 150-foot range . If the item goes out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be detected (发现) on other smartphones with the same app.
When you log into the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost item — a dog, for example, or a stolen bike — goes out of your own phone’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, you can set it as a “lost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within the range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your own phone, reminding you of its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.
Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they never run out of battery or need to be charged, and they last for one year before needing to be replaced. The app, which will come into the market this winter, works with iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd and 4th generation, and iPod 5th generation.
【1】The Tile app can help you .
A. find your missing items
B. use your phone more wisely
C. save your phone’s battery power
D. connect something to your phone
【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The Tile needs to be charged after a year of use.
B. One smart phone can only be linked up to one Tile.
C. The Tile cannot work when linked up to a phone without Bluetooth.
D. A missing item can’t be found if it goes out of the needed range.
【3】What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?
A. What the Tile app is.
B. How the Tile app works.
C. The advantages of the Tile app.
D. Why the Tile app was invented.
【4】Where does this passage probably come from?
A. A science fiction novel. B. An advertisement.
C. A personal diary. D. A news report.
22、Have you ever found yourself in a clothing store and wondered why you’re there? Perhaps you’re in a hot and sweaty mess, in an awful lineup, tired or hungry, and suddenly the whole situation feels absurd(荒谬的). You know deep down you shouldn’t be spending money on clothes, but you want to because you’ re more bored than anything, and buying pretty new clothes just makes you excited and satisfied!
It might be time for a ban on fast fashion—or at the very least, a new approach to buying clothes. That is where Lauren Bravo’s new book comes in handy. Titled “How to Break Up with Fast Fashion: A Guilt-Free Guide to Changing the Way You Shop—For Good”, it is meant both to educate fashion lovers in the many evils (罪恶) of the industry they love and to encourage them to break their less-than-favorable consumption habits in favor of better ones.
The word “guilt-free” in her subtitle is key, however. Bravo recognizes that clothes are a necessity, as well as a form of identity and creative expression for many individuals. so they’ re not going away. Rather, we can learn to buy in ways that are less harmful to the environment, our bank accounts and our mental wellbeing.
To achieve this, Bravo studied the benefits of fast-growing fashion rental companies, of community clothing exchanges and the value in sharing clothes among immediate friends and family. She lists and interviews various social media influencers who are prioritizing rewear and repair, showing others how to get more looks with fewer pieces, and buying second-hand clothes.
At times the book doesn’t feel like a how-to guide. She is clearly a devoted fashionista(时尚达人)who lives and breathes clothes. This makes her year-long ban on fast fashion shopping all more impressive,but one gets the impression that she wasn’t lacking in options in the meantime. Her descriptions of past shopping adventures are indeed interesting—there were times I laughed out loud.
Throughout the book,Bravo also offers tips for better shopping habits.
【1】Which drives people’s unwise purchases?
A.The desire to be unique.
B.The feeling from purchasing new clothes.
C.The lack of a financial budget.
D.The wish to compare with others.
【2】What does the underlined word “this”in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Shopping in better ways.
B.Buying fewer clothes.
C.Satisfying the need for clothes.
D.Getting rid of the sense of guilt.
【3】How does Bravo sound when telling her past shopping experiences?
A.Guilty.
B.Proud.
C.Humorous.
D.Cautious.
【4】Where is the text most probably from?
A.A report.
B.A textbook.
C.A review.
D.A guide.

24、As 17-year-old Torri’ell Norwood drove through Florida, last February, the laughter and chatter from the four teenage girls inside her car quickly gave way to screams. As they approached an intersection, another car T-boned them, sending their car sailing into the yard of a nearby home, coming to a stop only when it crashed into a tree.
As smoke rose from the car, a bystander shouted, “It’s about to blow up! Get out!” Shaken, but otherwise OK, Norwood crawled out through the window as the driver’s side door couldn’t be opened. Along with two of her friends, who’d also managed to free themselves, she ran for her life. But halfway down the street, she realized that her best friend, Simmons, wasn’t with them. Norwood ran back and found Simmons unconscious in the back seat. She threw open the back door and pulled her friend out. She dragged Simmons a few feet to safety and laid her on the ground. After checking her pulse and found there was no sign of life, she started CPR.
Had the accident happened a few weeks earlier, she might not have known what to do. But just the day before, Norwood, who wanted to pursue a career in medicine, had earned her CPR certificate by learning on her own. Kneeling on the lawn and looking down at her dying friend, Norwood knew she had precious little time to practice what she’d learned.
She started pumping Simmons’s chest with her interlocked fingers and breathing into her friend's mouth in hopes of filling her lungs with the kiss of life. After quite a while, Simmons began coughing and taking quick deep breaths for air. The CPR had worked! Soon, the ambulance arrived and rushed Simmons to the hospital. And then she heard how her best friend had saved her life. “I wasn't shocked,” Simmons told others. “She will always help any way she can.”
