21、Ice cream season is here! Let’s hope you have enough money for your favorite flavors. But have you ever thought about getting paid to eat ice cream?
The idea isn’t pie in the sky. It’s how American Derek Spors, 32, makes his living. Although he simply calls himself a product developer at Ben and Jerry’s, an ice-cream company based in Vermont. His job is something delicious.
So how did he become an ice-cream expert in the first place? Spors received a degree in food science from the University of Wisconsin. However, some research and development staff in the company come from culinary (厨师的) backgrounds.
This makes for a good mix. People with a food science background and those with a culinary background both know a lot about food, but the things they know are different. “In studying food science, you learn about food functionality, but you don’t really learn how to make it taste good.” Spors said. “To the consumer, it’s all about the taste.”
Great tastes are exactly what Spors spends his days inventing and perfecting.
So how is a new product developed? According to Spors, the process has to begin with a new idea for a flavor. Next comes the formulation (配方) of “base” mixes. This lays the foundation (基础) for new flavors, which involves complex science. On top of all these chemical experiments, the mix has to taste good.
Being an ice-cream inventor does have its own rewards-who wouldn’t want a chance to create a new ice cream flavor? For Spors, it’s terrific to know his work makes others happy when he goes to the grocery store and sees someone buy ice cream he developed.
【1】Which of the following is closest in meaning to “pie in the sky” in Paragraph 2?
A.Unlikely.
B.Simple.
C.Unusual.
D.Decent.
【2】What is Spors’s job?
A.Developing new markets.
B.Inventing good tastes.
C.Making phone calls.
D.Eating delicious food.
【3】What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A.How to make ice cream taste good.
B.What helps make a good mix.
C.What Spors learned at university.
D.How others’ work helps Spors.
【4】How does Spors feel about his job?
A.It’s terrible.
B.It’s awesome.
C.It’s tiring.
D.It’s well-paid.
22、 Do some kinds of video games cause violence? Scientific studies do not suggest a link. But the idea that there is a link between violent video games and violent acts reappeared following the mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, last weekend. An online statement thought to be written by the El Paso gunman mentioned the video game “Call of Duty”.
On Monday, President Donald Trump said that “terrifying video games” contribute to a “glorification of violence”. American politicians have long made similar statements. Benjamin Burroughs is a professor of media at the University of Las Vegas. He said that there is no linkage to gun violence, when mentioning video games. Burroughs pointed out that some studies show a short-term increase in aggressive thoughts and feelings after playing video games, but nothing that rises to the level of violence. “Plenty of gamers get upset when they lose or feel the game was ‘cheating’, but it doesn’t lead to violent outputs,” Burroughs stressed.
In 2006, a small study by researchers at Indiana University found that teenagers who played violent video games showed higher levels of emotional arousal(激发)—strong emotions like anger or fear. The teenagers also showed less activity in the parts of the brain associated with the ability to plan,control and direct thoughts and behavior.
Patrick Markey,the psychology professor,found in his research that men who commit severe acts of violence actually play violent video games less than the average male. Another study by Markey and other researchers showed that violence tends to go down when a new violent movie or video game comes out. One possible explanation is that people are at home playing the game or in theaters watching the movie. Markey believes that video games might excite people, but they do not change who people are. “It is like going to see a sad movie,” Markey said of playing video games. “It might make you cry but it doesn’t make you clinically depressed,” he said.
【1】Why is the mass shooting in EI Paso, Texas mentioned in the first paragraph?
A.To show the necessity of scientific studies.
B.To support the writer’s own viewpoint.
C.To show the seriousness of violent acts.
D.To serve as evidence for the assumption.
【2】What are the similarities between Benjamin Burroughs and Patrick Markey?
A.Both are specialists in psychology in the USA.
B.Both acknowledge video game roused emotional change.
C.Both present their ideas through doing research.
D.Both worry about the potential dangers caused by video games.
【3】What can be learned about the research in 2006?
A.Teenagers tested in it become more emotional.
B.Its findings set alarm for young video game players.
C.Teenagers mentioned in it mainly come from Indiana.
D.Its researchers are strongly for banning video games.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Violence—a by-product of video games.
B.Video games—the cause of violence or not.
C.Video games—the promoter of the mass shoot.
D.Violence—a threat for game players or not.
23、On the first day of school, I came across my new English teacher, Ms Kirschmann. I really mean that—I just ran into her.
As I began to apologize, she started “shouting” at me. But I soon realized that she was simply saying hello and welcoming me to her class in a very loud voice.
Kirsch, as she wanted us to call her, had a creative and fascinating character. Her hair color, fashion sense and energy took up the entire room. When we read the play Macbeth by Shakespeare, Kirsch let us play characters and wear masks (面具). There's a big drum in the classroom. Every time we read the word “thunder” in the text, she would beat it excitedly! My classmates and I would laugh every time.
During group discussions, Kirsch often told us to sit in a circle on the floor. We talked about the play and she took notes of what we said. Doing so made us feel independent and challenge ourselves more with critical (批判性的) thinking.
Kirsch is really a social butterfly. She smiles, laughs and tells jokes wherever she goes. But I found out about another side of her the other day.
After school that day, I saw Ms Kirschmann with her son. She was persuading (劝说) him to put on his jacket. She spoke with such a gentle voice that I was quite surprised. Until then, it didn't occur to me that Ms Kirschmann could be quiet. I suddenly felt a lot of respect for this lady who was youthful, calm, intelligent and caring all at once.
【1】What did Kirsch do when her students read the word “thunder”?
A.She greeted them out loud.
B.She hit the big drum.
C.She laughed loudly.
D.She put on a mask.
【2】How did the group discussion help the students?
A.It helped them feel relaxed.
B.It gave them a sense of humor.
C.It helped them take more notes.
D.It helped them develop critical thinking.
【3】“Social butterfly" in Paragraph 5 was used to show Ms Kirschmann ________.
A.was active and bright
B.was loud and noisy
C.spoke with a gentle voice
D.wore colorful clothes
【4】Which of the following words can best describe Kirsch?
