21、As jewelry designers，my sister Jodie and I are always traveling for work．We need to go to a lot of shows，so we can’t pack lightly and usually bring about four suitcases filled with our work．

Most of our stuff is made from heavy materials and metals．So part of the routine for us when we fly is getting stopped by security．Our jewelry sets off the alarms，and we’ve become accustomed to arriving early to go through private screenings．Most of the time，it’s not troublesome.

However，on our recent trip to a Paris trade show，we were stopped at security and asked to empty our bags. One of the agents walked over to another agent and they started whispering to each other．Both gentlemen came back，and one of them then told us that it seemed that we were carrying a very dangerous object.

My sister and I just said，“Huh?”Of course，we were a little concerned，thinking that maybe someone put something dangerous in one of our bags when we weren’t looking．

One of the agents then started to unpack our bags．I kept asking what he was 1ooking for and then the object in question finally appeared．It was our Cosima necklace．It's a piece of jewelry，with large，metal triangular spikes．

My sister and I 1ooked at each other and breathed a huge sigh of relief．We started laughing and explained to the two male agents that it was just a necklace from our collection．not a weapon of mass destruction．They thought we were lying，and one agent kept repeating that he believed it was a weapon.

I tried to explain that we were jewelry designers going to a trade show，and this was simply a piece from our collection．But the agents didn’t buy it．Then a few women guards came over to assist．One of the women guards was holding an earring up to her ear and another was trying on a ring．Apparently，they liked our stuff．

It was only at this point that the male guards gave up．And I think they also got tired of listening to a bunch of women talk about jewelry．They let us through．

We took the names of the women agents and sent them a piece of jewelry when we got back to say thanks．

【1】The writer and her sister were stopped by the agents because ________.

A．their suitcases were too heavy

C．they were suspected to carry dangerous objects

D．the agents wanted to admire the jewelry inside the suitcases

22、   The world's first hydrogen-powered trains have begun running in Germany. They began carrying passengers Monday in Germany's northern Lower Saxony state. The new train will run 100-kilometer trips and can travel up to 140 kilometers an hour.

A French railroad company called Alstom built the two trains. Team in Germany and France cooperated on the project, which was supported by the German government. The new train model ,called the Coradia ilint, signals the beginning of efforts in Germany and other nations to move away from pollution-producing diesel(柴油) trains.

The Coradia iLint is designed to run on non-electrified train lines with low levels of noise.

It uses a process that combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electrical power. If the system produces more energy than the train needs at that time, it can store the extra energy in batteries. The only emissions (排放物) are water and steam.

A single tank of hydrogen can run a Coradia iLint train for about 1,000 kilometers. This is very similar to the distance a diesel-powered train can run on with a single tank.

Hydrogen-powered trains cost more than diesel trains to build. But Alstom officials say the operating costs are much lower. The company plans to provide another 14 Coradia iLint trains to Lower Saxony by 2021.

The head of railroad operations in the area, Carmen Schwab, praised replacing diesel trains with hydrogen. She said the move was an important first step in using clean-burning technologies to reach climate protection goals.

Officials say the area's many wind turbines (涡轮机)will produce part of the energy to create the hydrogen to power the trains.

Alstom says several other European countries have also expressed interest in developing hydrogen train systems. France has already said it wants its first hydrogen train to be operating by 2022.

【1】Why did Germany build the new trains?

A. To replace diesel trains.

B. To carry more passengers.

C. To make traveling much easier.

D. To develop friendship with France.

【2】What is one advantage of the Coradia iLint?

A. It runs without making any noise.

B. It doesn't use electrical power.

C. It costs much less to run.

D. It is cheaper to make it.

【3】It can be concluded that hydrogen trains________.

A. are widely used

B. are environmentally friendly

C. can stop air pollution

D. can produce water and oxygen

【4】What might be the best title for the text?

A. Saving Natural Resources

B. Efforts to Reduce Emissions

C. World's First Hydrogen Trains

D. A New Way to Make Electricity

23、What may well be the oldest metal coins in the world have been identified at an ancient abandoned city known as Guanzhuang in China. Like many Bronze Age (青铜时代) coins from the region, they were cast in the shape of spades (铲) with finely carved handles. These ancient coins existed during an in-between period between barter (以物易物) and money, when coins were a novel concept, but everybody knew that agricultural tools were valuable.

Reading about this incredible discovery, I kept thinking about the way modern people represent computer networks by describing machines as having “addresses”, like a house. We also talk about one computer using a “port” to send information to another computer, as if the data were a floating boat with destination. It’s as if we are in the Bronze Age of information technology, grasping desperately for real-world reference to transform our civilization.

Now consider what happened to spade coins. Over centuries. metalworkers made these coins into more abstract shapes. Some became almost human figures. Others’ handles were reduced to small half-circles. As spade coins grew more abstract. people carved them with number values and the locations where they were made. They became more like modern coins, flat and covered in writing. Looking at one of these later pieces, you would have no idea that they were once intended to look like a spade.

This makes me wonder if we will develop an entirely new set of symbols that allow us to interact with our digital information more smoothly.

Taking spade coins as our guide, we can guess that far-future computer networks will no longer contain any recognizable references to houses. But they still might bring some of the ideas we associate with home to our mind. In fact, computer networks — if they still exist at all — are likely to be almost the indispensable part of our houses and cities, their sensors inset (嵌入) with walls and roads. Our network addresses might actually be the same as our street addresses. If climate change leads to floods, our mobile devices might look more like boats than phones, assisting us to land.

My point is that the metaphors (比喻) of the information age aren’t random. Mobile devices do offer us comfort after a long day at work. In some sense, our desire to settle on the shores of data lakes could change the way we understand home, as well as how we build computers. So as we cast our minds forward, we have to think about what new abstractions will go along with our information technology. Perhaps the one thing we count on is that humans will still appreciate the comforts of home.

【1】Why were many Bronze Age coins made into the shape of a spade?

A．These coins also served as agricultural tools.

B．This stylish design made the coins valuable.

C．A lot of emphasis was put on agriculture.

D．The handles made the coins easily exchanged.

【2】Why does the author relate computers to spade coins?

A．To show they both used to be new concepts when first invented.

B．To highlight their same importance in our civilizational transformation.

C．To suggest computers will experience dramatic changes as coins did.

D．To explain abstract digital worlds are different from concrete coins.

【3】What does the underlined word “indispensable” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A．Flexible.

B．Wasteful.

C．Essential.

D．Alternative.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．How Agriculture Loses to Digital Industry

B．What Coins and Computers Bring Us

C．What Bronze Age and Information Age Have In Common

D．What Ancient Money Tells Us About the Future Digital World

24、Columbus Day has been on American calendars since 1937, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared October 12 a federal holiday to honor the Italian explorer who “discovered” the Americas in 1942. However, the holiday has always been controversial. Many people believe that Christopher Columbus should not be given credit for “discovering” the continent, since native Americans had already been living there for generations.

Besides, the explorer’s mission was not a scientific “voyage of discovery”, but one intended to conquer the new land. Critics maintain that the Spanish army Columbus brought on his second voyage, caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of indigenous(土著的) people. Those that survived the massacre became slaves, working in mines. Many, therefore, believe that the explorer’s arrival should not be celebrated.

In 1977, a delegation of Native nations at the International Conference on Discrimination Against Indigenous Populations in the Americas, proposed renaming the holiday to “Indigenous People’s Day”. The proposal passed with a majority.

However, convincing the rest of the country to do the same was not that easy. It took 15 years before the city of Berkeley in California adopted the name in 1992 and then 22 more years before Minneapolis, MN and Seattle, WA did the same in 2014. The following year, eight more cities including Albuquerque, NM and Portland, OR, began celebrating the second Monday of October as “Indigenous People’s Day”. The movement really started to gain momentum in 2016 when 19 cities, including Boulder, CO and Phoenix, AZ, as well as the states of Minnesota and Vermont, all decided to rename the day to honor Native Americans. In 2017, 21 more cities, including Austin, TX and Los Angeles, CA have made the shift.

With the increasingly larger number of cities moving away from Columbus Day each year, it will be interesting to see if “Indigenous People’s Day” gets federal recognition. Meanwhile, it will continue to be the focal point of debates throughout the Americas.

【1】Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A. Indigenous People’s Day Has Got Federal Recognition after Years’ Work

B. Columbus Day Honoring the Italian Explorer Has Always Been Controversial

C. Christopher Columbus Should Not Be Given Credit for Discovering Americas

D. More Cities Have Replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous People’s Day

【2】Many people don’t agree that .

A. Columbus discovered the continent

B. Columbus was a remarkable explorer

C. Native Americans were abused

D. Columbus Day is a public holiday

【3】What can we infer from the second paragraph?

A. Columbus was well received by indigenous people

B. The indigenous people hated the Columbus’ arrival

C. The Spanish army rebelled against Columbus’ rule

D. Few soldiers survived the attack by native Americans

【4】Which of the following cities is the earliest to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous People’s Day?

A. Portland   B. Phoenix

C. Seattle   D. Los Angeles
