21、We Chinese are not big huggers. A handshake or a pat on the shoulder is enough to express our friendship or affection (love) to one another. So when our newly-acquainted Western friends reach out in preparation for a hug, some of us feel awkward. Many questions go through our head. Where should I put my arms? Under their armpits or around their neck? What distance should I keep? Should our chests touch?

It’s even more difficult with friends from some European countries. Should I kiss them on the cheek while hugging? Which side? Or is it both cheeks? Which side should I start on?

But it isn’t just people from cultures that are conservative(保守的) in expressing physical contact who find hugging confusing．Hugs can cause discomfort or even distress(pain) in people who value their personal space．

In a recent article for The Wall Street Journal, US psychologist Peggy Drexler said that although the US remains a “medium touch” culture, Americans do seem to be hugging more. From politicians to celebrities（famous people）, hugs are given to friends, strangers and enemies alike; whether they are willing or not; and the public has been quick to pick up the practice.

Public figures know that nothing expresses likeability(亲和力)like a good hug. US First Lady Michelle Obama has put her arms around icy foreign leaders like Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the Queen of England on the latter occasion actually breaking the rule of royal manners.

But not all are grateful to be embraced(hugged), even by the most influential and famous. To them, any hug is offensive(冒犯的) if it’s not sincere.

Amanda Hess, writing for US magazine Slate, says public figures should stop imposing（强加） hugs on everyone they meet. For them, a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship, compassion or affection. It’s all part of a show. Hugs are falsely intimate power plays used by public figures to establish their social dominance(主导) over those in their grasp.

Cecilia Walden, a British journalist writing for The Telegraph who lives in New York, holds the same opinion. “Power-hugging”, as she calls it, is “an offender dressed up as kindness”. It has become a fashion in the US where “bosses are already embracing their staff (either shortly before or after firing them), men and women ,their friends or enemies, in a thousand cheating displays of unity”.

【1】From the first third paragraphs, we can see that ___________.

A. we Chinese people don’t know how to hug

B hugs can bring pressure to people when used improperly

C. people from European countries often get puzzled about hugging

D. people in Western countries seldom use hugs to express their physical closeness

【2】The example of US first lady Michelle Obama is given to show that __________.

A. hugs are forbidden in England

B. she is much liked by American people

C. Americans hold a “medium touch ”culture

D. public figures know hugging functions well in public

【3】Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “pick up the practice”?

A．Follow the trend．

B．Enjoy the medium touch culture．

C．Give hugs to enemies．

D．Resist physical touch．

【4】What can be the best title of this passage?

A. Hugs, tricky affair? B. Hugs, vital or not?

C. Hugs and public figures     D. Hugs and power

22、Three days earlier, a super typhoon attacked a coastal country, cutting off all communication with the outside. Thousands of people died in the storm.

Whether the destruction (破坏) caused by extreme weather events can be related to human emissions (排放物) of greenhouse gases is most discussed in climate science. If this relation is established, extreme weather can be the severest result of climate change that threatens a range of human rights, including the rights to life, food, health, housing, development and self-determination.

Felix Pretis of the University of Victoria has shown even 1. 5℃ of global warming will reduce economic growth in some regions, and that the tropics (热带) will feel this impact more than other areas. Some studies predict that the number of heat-related deaths in many parts, South-East Asia among them, will be far more than the number of cold-related deaths.

And then there’re negative effects of extreme weather events, which have the potential to kill thousands. Myles Allen, a climate modeler at the University of Oxford, has led research into whether specific weather events can be owed to broader climate trends (趋势). He used climate models to model the super typhoon with and without greenhouse gas emissions. The former accurately reproduced the actual events, in terms of the weather patterns (模式), wind speeds and so on. In 15 out of 16 times without industrial emissions, the storm was weaker.

The study shows human emissions are likely to increase wind speeds, which results in a   storm move that is 20% higher than it might be in the absence of climate change. It is this move that proves particularly destructive, “It’s not true that without human influence this event could never have happened,” Dr Allen said. “But through this study you can see this impact.”

【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To show the mass destruction of super typhoons.

B．To give an example of the extreme weather event.

C．To introduce discussion on such events and human emissions.

D．To warn people about possible results of climate change.

【2】What is mainly expressed in paragraph 3?

A．Studies on harm of climate change are needed.

B．Global warming will damage human rights.

C．Both high and low temperatures are dangerous.

D．Some areas are affected by global warming.

【3】How did Myles Allen conduct his experiment?

A．By making comparisons.

B．By analyzing examples.

C．By collecting data.

D．By analyzing causes and results.

【4】What do the climate models suggest?

A．The storm resulted from greenhouse gas emissions.

B．Human behavior increases the frequency of storms.

C．Wind speeds are determined by industrial emissions.

D．Human influence worsens extreme weather events.

23、   Once eating alone was just that: sitting down in a restaurant on one’s own and eating a meal. Everyone did it sometimes, and when they did so, 【1】 . To eat alone might suggest that you didn’t have any friends. There was a kind of shame attached to it.

Nowadays, however, there is more and more solitary (独自的) eating for pleasure. 【2】 . “Foodies”—people with a passionate interest in cuisines—do it because all they need is the chance to eat good food. They don’t want company or conversation, but only the joy of eating some special dish. Other people eat alone because it’s simply practical for them to do so. For instance, it’s estimated that nearly a third of all the customers of fast-food restaurants eat alone. They are served with their food fast， eat it fast and then leave fast. 【3】

But the appeal of eating alone is quite different. 【4】 . For the hour or so that it takes to have a meal, they can forget all the pressures of their lives. They don’t have to deal with their family or job. They can relax and let their mind wander. Maybe they’ll bring a book, a newspaper to enjoy a quiet time.

David Annand, editor of Conde Nast Traveler magazine, who delights in dining alone, speaks of his pleasure in the “rhythm of a meal in a restaurant—its ebb and flow (人来人往), the periodic arrival and departure of the waiter”. 【5】 .

A. It’s an experience of freedom

B. they might be a little embarrassed

C. People choose to eat alone for various reasons

D. none of them would feel bad about themselves

E. Sometimes staying alone is quite cosy when you don’t work

F. This restaurant rhythm allows him to sit back, observe and think

G. It saves time if they have a meeting or a child to pick up from school

24、   Google has launched its Pixel 5 smart phone—a 5G-compatible flagship device with a more affordable price tag—and an updated Nest smart speaker, alongside new services including google TV．

Although the Pixel 5 had been announced earlier this year when google launched the low-cost Pixel 4a phone, consumers are now being given their first look at the device and its instructions.

The new handset’s stand-out feature isn’t its 6”screen or 90Hz OLED display, but its significantly reduced price tag—coming in at￡599($699), well below the￡669($799)that the last generation Pixel 4 retailed at．

Affordability seems to have been the key factor for Google when developing the new device, with 5G connectivity allowing users to connect to services off of the device, rather than rely on the impressive hardware itself outperforming market competition such as Apple’s iPhone—the latest of which is set to be launched next month．

Access to Google services has always been the Pixel’s main selling point, and a principal advertising image for the new phone shows it being used with a controller for Google Stadia—the company’s games streaming platform．A three-month subscription to stadia pro is presented with the Pixel 5, as are subscriptions to some of the company’s other digital services．

“The global economic crisis will suppress(阻止)the demand for smartphones for at least the next 12 months．” said Marina Koytcheva of analyst firm CCS Insight．

【1】What’s Pixel 5’s stand-out feature?

A.Its 6’ screen． B.Its affordability．
