21、   How do you know if your home is an easy aim for thefts(偷窃)? Around the holidays, many families don’t consider taking proper measures to prevent their homes from suffering holiday thefts. With just a few simple steps, you can better make sure of the safety of your home during all of the holiday celebrations. Here are a few tips for making it difficult to tell you are away from home.

● Either have a trusted neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers, or tell your mailperson to hold your mail until you return. Nothing says “Hey, we are not home!” like when your postbox is filled with all kinds of mails and you have many different newspapers in your driveway.

● Set several different lights in your house on random timers (随机定时器)。Don’t leave your outdoor lights on all the time. Instead, put your outside lights on timers to be on during the nights.  If an outdoor light remains on for days at a time, it means that nobody is home to turn it off.

● If you have pets that you are not taking with you on vacation, leave them with a friend, rather than having someone come into your house every day to take care of them. When thefts see a neighbor or friend entering your house every day, they will know you are not home.

● Close all your curtains when you leave town. This is effective to deter possible thefts, as no one can see what is in your house. If they don’t know what there is to take, then the risk is even greater for them to break in.

● This article just has suggested a few tips to help you keep your house safe while you are on holiday. Nothing can truly protect your home unless you have it monitored by a professional home security system.

D.to tell you to have your neighbor go to your house to take care of your pet.

【2】If you are on holiday in other places, the lights in your house should________.

A.be kept on all the night B.be lit in an irregular way

C.be replaced by random timers D.be turned on only once one day

【3】To make your home  well protected, what does the writer advise you to do?

A.Have all the curtains closed

B.Equip your home with security system

C.Turn to your close neighbors or friends

D.Stop your mail service at once

22、When music comes on, some people are toe-lappers or head-bobbers, others shake their hips，and then there are those who let the rhythm move them to a full-body boogie (布吉舞) . But, whatever it is, the way we dance to a beat is so noticeable to an individual that a computer can now identify us by our unique dancing “fingerprint”.

Researchers at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Music Research at Finland's University of Jyv skyl have been using motion capture (动作捕捉) technology to study what a person's dance moves say about his or her mood, personality, and ability to sympathize. They recently made an accidental discovery while trying to see if an ML machine, a form of artificial intelligence, would be able to identify which kind of music was playing based on how the participants of the study were dancing. In their study, the researchers motion captured 73 participants with the AI technology while they danced to eight different music genres: electronica, jazz, metal, pop, rap, reggae, country, and blues. The only instruction the dancers were given was to move in a way that felt natural.

But what it could do was more shocking. The computer was able to correctly identify which music one of the participants was dancing to 94 percent of the time, regardless of what kind of music was playing, based on the pattern of a person's dance style. It was the movement of participants’ heads, shoulders and knees that were important markers in distinguishing between individual. “It seems as though a person’s dance movements a kind of fingerprint. Each person has a unique movement signature that stays the same no matter what kind of music is playing,” said Pasi Saari, a co-author of the study, in a class.

It’s possible that dance-recognition software could become something similar to face-recognition software but it doesn’t seem as practical. For now, researchers say that they are not as interested in possible surveillance (监视) uses of this technology, but rather what the results of this study say about how humans respond to music. So don’t worry about being identified at nightclub by an AI via your signature dance moves yet.

【1】What did the researchers expect to do with the ML machine?

A．Test the dancers’ flexibility.

B．Make dancers accustomed to the beat.

C．Identify the music using dancers' moves.

D．Check the accuracy of motion capture technology.

【2】What might not help the AI technology determine a dancer’s identity?

A．Head movement.

B．Foot movement.

C．Knee movement.

D．Shoulder movement.

【3】What do researchers want to use the results for?

A．Putting it on the application market.

B．Programming it to work at nightclub.

C．Learning about the human response to music.

D．Developing a software like face-recognition.

【4】What can be the best title of the text?

A．A music style matters less than its beat.

B．New AI can generate your next dance move.

C．A dance-recognition software will become more popular.

D．New AI can identify you by your dancing “fingerprint”.

23、Different responses to “Person of the Year” (2020) in America

Despite all the tragedy and pain that COVID 19 has caused and for which it will be remembered, we must also admit with some irony that without the virus, Donald Trump would very likely be President of the U. S. for the next four years. The old saying that not all bad comes to hurt us proved once again to be true. Biden and Harris alone will not be the cure for the disasters of the past Administration, but at least they are a starting point for a brighter future.

Alberto Vezzali,

GUASTALLA, ITALY

This was Time’s opportunity to honor, recognize and thank the heroes on the front line. Given their strength of character and insight on the human condition, Biden and Harris would have been the first to support naming frontline workers as Person of the Year.

S. Jeffrey Bastable,

FAYETTEVILLE, N. Y.

It is incomprehensible that you did not select as Person of the Year the tens of thousands of health care workers who went into work each day and put their lives at risk to take care of COVID-19 patients. They were the firemen running into the burning building to save others, and the policemen running toward the gunfire. Many of them fell ill, and indeed, some died.

Louis Shepard,

NEW ORLEANS

“Person” is singular. When Trump was named Person of the Year last year, it wasn’t a Trump-Pence cover. Is this just a subtle reminder to the American people that Harris is the real person in charge?

Alan Lantz,

BELLA VISTA, ARK.

Everyone hopes Biden and Harris can do better than their predecessors did, but unfortunately, naming them Person of the Year is a politicized decision, and I am very sad about that.

Paolo Grassi,

CONCOREZZO, ITALY

【1】Who were chosen as “Person of the Year” in 2020 in America?

A．Biden and Harris.

B．Trump and Pence.

C．Obama and Biden.

D．Harris and Trump.

【2】What is Alan Lantz’s attitude to the choice of 2020?

A．supportive.

B．neutral.

C．indifferent.

D．doubtful.

【3】Who shares Louis Shephard’s opinion on the right choice of “Person of the Year”?

A．Alberto Vezzali.

B．S. Jeffrey Bastable.

C．Alan Lantz.

D．Paolo Grassi.

24、There are many reasons why we journal. From travel journals, dream journals, to gratitude journals, we keep specific journals for different aspects of our life. 【1】 Here are the top 4 reasons why you should be starting a journal today.

Improve your writing. Journaling helps you to train your writing. If you want to practice or improve on your writing, the best thing to do is to start a journal. You may not have the perfect topic. 【2】 The more you write, the more your writing improves.

【3】 A journal is a good place to write your goals, ambitions, inspiration and new year plans.By keeping them in a diary, you can monitor your progress and feel motivated to continue to focus on your next milestone!

Record ideas on-the-go. The benefits of keeping a journal is that you can record all of your ideas in one place anytime and at anywhere. 【4】 You can then revisit these ideas later on to look for new links, form conclusions or even get a fresh idea!

Allow yourself to self-reflect. As Ferris Bueller once said, “ Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Journaling is a good way to help us to stop, take a step back and reflect on ourselves. 【5】 Daily reflection can also be done at night before bed. We can look back at our life in a journal and think about how we've changed and what we can do to improve ourselves.

There are many other benefits to keep a journal. You'll discover more when you start one!

A．Mark your progress.

B．Set and achieve your goals.

C．There are many benefits of keeping a journal.

D．All you need to do is to start writing your thoughts.

F．Your journal is the best place to start exploring your inner creativity.

G．Whenever an idea comes to your mind, you can write it down in your journal.

25、阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从1—15各题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

In a recent airing of "Unsolved Mysteries", there was a young boy who was the victim of the  holocaust(大屠杀).He'd been   in a work camp for several years and somehow had managed to  survive the   of his imprisonment.

The story was of a boy - now in his sixties - and his quest to find an American soldier who had   a kindness to him by   some food. It might seem   ,but to this child, who had seen  nothing but and inhumanity for as long as he could remember, it was a   that marked a  turning point in his life, for he had lost hope .When he was liberated by the American forces, he was dying. He,   needed food. As he was staggering along the road a young soldier   down from his tank and gave him some of his supplies. With this one act of generosity, a kind American had aroused the   again that there really was some good in the world. And the boy never   it. The boy later went to America, raised a family, became successful and worked hard to repay the   he had received with his own.

Actually there were so many similar acts of generosity that it would be almost impossible to know for sure who the soldier was.

We all have a choice: to create more light in the world. As Confucius   it over 2500 years ago, "It is better to light one small candle than to   the darkness."

As the story above so nicely   small gestures can often generate huge blessings. If we're constantly looking for and doing kind acts, we will no doubt bring more joy into the world around us as well as into our own world!

It was a beautiful sunny day when the moving van pulled onto the tree-lined street. Mark and Mindy stepped out of the van and looked at their new home with pride. They had both been saving for a long time to purchase their first house together and were very excited to go on a new venture.

Within an hour they had unloaded a number of boxes and were pleased with their progress. The sky had begun to darken slightly, but the weather was still pleasant. Then Mindy heard it – even felt it. There was a large clap of thunder and then a bolt of lightning. Mindy and Mark immediately froze and looked at each other, then looked at the boxes scattered (分散) on their lawn. They hastily raced to get their belongings indoors, but not before getting caught in heavy rain.

The couple stood in their living room, wet from head to toe, surrounded by what were now very wet boxes. Then, Mark noticed a pool of water in the hallway. 

He went to inspect and found that there was water dripping from the ceiling. “We can have someone fix it,” Mindy said. “I’ll grab a bucket to catch the water for now.”

A moment later Mark heard a scream and raced into the kitchen just in time to see a mouse running across the floor.

Mindy was frozen with fright. 

“Don’t worry. We can take care of that!” Mark said, trying to sound as reassuring (安心的) as possible. “Let’s go unpack some of the boxes. That will make us feel better.”

Mark and Mindy made their way to the living room, but when they opened a box holding their kitchen utensils (器皿) and dishes, they found that all of their plates, bowls and cups were broken. They looked at each other in dismay (沮丧).

“What do we do now?” Mindy asked.

Their first day in their new home was not turning out to be the joyous occasion they had expected.

Paragraph 1

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Paragraph 2

Suddenly they heard a noise from the attic (阁楼).
