21、Pretty in pink: adult women do not remember being so obsessed with the colour, yet it is pervasive in our young girls’ lives. It is not that pink is intrinsically (内在地) bad, but it is such a tiny slice of the rainbow and, though it may celebrate girlhood in one way, it also repeatedly and firmly fuses girls’ identity to appearance. Then it presents that connection, even among two-year-olds, between girls as not only innocent but as evidence of innocence. Looking around, I despaired at the singular lack of imagination about girls’ lives and interests.

Girls’ attraction to pink may seem unavoidable, somehow encoded in their DNA, but according to Jo Paoletli, an associate professor of American Studies, it is not. Children were not colour-coded at all until the early 20th century: in the era before domestic washing machines all babies wore white as a practical matter, since the only way of getting clothes clean was to boil them. What’s more, both boys and girls wore what were thought of as gender-neutral dresses. When nursery colours were introduced, pink was actually considered the more masculine colour, a pastel version of red, which was associated will, strength. Blue, with its intimations(暗示) of the Virgin Mary(圣母玛利亚), constancy and faithfulness, symbolized femininity(女性化). It was not until the mid-1980s, when amplifying age and sex differences became a dominant children’s marketing strategy, that pink fully came into its own, when it began to seem inherently attractive to girls, part of what defined them as female, at least for the first few critical years.

I had not realized how profoundly marketing trends dictated our perception of what is natural to kids, including our core beliefs about their psychological development. Take the toddler. I assumed that phase was something experts developed after years of research into children’ s behaviour: wrong. Turns out, according to Daniel Cook, a historian of childhood consumerism, it was popularized as a marketing trick by clothing manufacturers in the 1930s.

Trade publications counselled (劝告) department stores that, in order to increase sales, they should create a “third stepping slime” between infant wear and older kids’ clothes. It was only after “toddler” (学步的小孩) became a common shoppers’ term that it evolved into a broadly accepted developmental stage. Splitting kids, or adults, into ever-tinier categories has proved a sure-fire way to boost profits. And one of the easiest ways to segment a market is to magnify gender differences --- or invent them where they did not previously exist.

【1】By saying “it is... the rainbow” (Para. 1), the author means pink ________.

A．should not be the sole representation of girlhood

B．should not be associated with girls’ innocence

C．cannot explain girls’ lack of imagination

D．cannot influence girls’ lives and interests

【2】What does the word “encode” in Para. 2 refer to?

A．discovered

B．programmed

C．marked

D．sealed

【3】The author suggests that our perception of children’ s psychological development was much influenced by ________.

A．the observation of children’s nature

B．the marketing of products for children

C．researches into children’s behaviour

D．studies of childhood consumption

【4】We may learn from Paragraph 4 that department stores were advised to ________.

A．classify consumers into smaller groups

B．attach equal importance to different genders

C．focus on infant wear and older kids’ clothes

D．create some common shoppers’ terms

【5】It can be concluded that girls’ attraction to pink seems to he ________.

A．fully understood by clothing manufacturers

22、How did Hurricane Irma get its name? Find out the surprising reasons why hurricanes are named and how their names are chosen.

Why Do We Name Hurricanes?

Naming storms dates back hundreds of years.【1】

It makes it easier to keep track of multiple storms happening at the same time and giving them names connects better with people. There have been many years with three hurricanes out there at the same time. It’s rare, but not unheard of.

【2】

Tropical (热带的) storms are named when their maximum sustained wind speed is greater than 39 miles per hour. They graduate to hurricanes when wind speeds are over 74 miles per hour. When this happens, the Switzerland-based World Meteorological Organization does naming,【3】 For instance, storms that originate in the Atlantic get one of 21 alphabetized (按字母顺序的) names. In 2017, we’ ve already used Arlene, Bret, Cindy, Don, Emily, Franklin and Gert before arriving at Harvey and Irma. There are six such lists which repeat every seventh year. Should the Atlantic continue to roil this year, expect to see warnings for Jose, Katia, Lee, Maria, Nate, Ophelia, Philippe, Rina, Sean, Tammy, Vince, and Whitney.

【4】

When a storm is particularly destructive, its name is retired. Eighty-two storms have this identity. We will never again have an Andrew (1992), Fran (1996), Juan (2003), Katrina (2005), Irene (2011), Sandy (2012), Ingrid (2013), Erika (2015), Joaquin (2015), Matthew (2016), or Otto (2016).

And remember: A hurricane by any other name is just as destructive.【5】 those same storms are called “typhoons” in the western North Pacific, “cyclones” in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, “severe tropical cyclones” in the western South Pacific and southeast Indian Ocean.

A．The reasons are evident:

B．How Do We Name Hurricanes?

C．What Is the Next Hurricane Name?

D．Why Do Hurricane Names Get Retired?

E．picking from fixed agreed upon lists.

F．Some hurricanes were named after boy’ s names.

G．While the areas around the U.S. are visited by hurricanes,

23、   A junior at Loyola High School in Los Angeles, Adam Faze, 16, decided in October to organize a film festival. “I want to go to film school and work in the industry, but Loyola has nothing like that, which is strange because we're right here in LA (a part of the city is Hollywood where films are made),” he said. “So instead of sitting around and feeling unhappy, I decided to do something.”

The school was unenthusiastic. “Every year, students approach me with many projects that are really difficult to carry out,” said Lance Ochsner, Adam's adviser. “I thought it wouldn't happen, but I gave him the go-ahead anyway.”

Adam sent letters and made cold calls, and got no response. By January, he had little more than a single participant: Jordan Roberts, the father of a friend and a writer-director. (Mr. Roberts had agreed to serve as a festival judge)

Then Adam looked through a catalog for Loyola's annual money-raising event and noticed that someone had donated two tickets to a Sony movie premiere(the first public performance of a movie ). That person turned out to be an Oscar campaigner. By working the connection, he managed to line up a festival speaker: Michael De Luca, a three-time Oscar nominee (someone who has been officially suggested for the prize of Oscar) for producing films like “The Social Network”.

“Adam's energy, enthusiasm and fearlessness are infectious,” Mr. De Luca wrote in an email. “I wish I had done this at my high school!” Adam got a local newspaper to write an article about Mr. De Luca's involvement, and that started a sponsorship and submission wildfire.

The Loyola Film Festival is set for Saturday and advertised as “the best in student film making 7. It will feature 72 films in four categories.

But Adam is already focused on his next plan. In an email to a reporter, he wrote, “Could you mention that I' m still looking for a summer internship?”

【1】Adam hoped that his high school could .

A.make some new films B.get involved in film activities

C.encourage students to watch films D.allow students to enter film festivals

【2】What was Lance Ochsner's attitude towards Adam's plan?

A.Curious. B.Surprised. C.Doubtful. D.Satisfied.

【3】How did Adam know of Michael De Luca?

A.From a letter. B.From a telephone call.

C.From the father of a friend. D.From a donation list of Loyola's.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.How a teen organized a film festival. B.Why the Loyola Film Festival is held.

C.A special high school in Los Angeles. D.The personal life of a 16-year-old teen.

24、   The latest diet trend in America is also an ancient human activity. The activity is fasting, or not eating food for a set amount of time.

Social media apps and Facebook groups are appearing for people who do “intermittent fasting,” or fasting on a part-time basis. Like other diets, intermittent fasting helps you lose weight by setting limits on eating. But instead of limiting what you eat, it limits when you eat.

Melissa Breaux Bankston is a Crossfit instructor in New Orleans, Louisiana. She tried intermittent fasting as a way to reduce her snacking. “I wanted to limit the amount of time that I was eating,” she said.

However, for now, limited research suggests it may not be any better for weight loss than reducing calorie intake over the long term.

“It’s really another way of fooling your body into eating less calories,” said Krista Varady, who studies intermittent fasting at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Courtney Peterson, of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, also studies intermittent fasting. She suggested the benefits of intermittent fasting are not as great as some might suggest. “Unfortunately, intermittent fasting gets a little hyped,” she said.

Some health experts say intermittent fasting might be too difficult for many people. They point to a study of 100 people where those placed in a fasting group lost about the same amount of weight as those on diets that restricted calories. The fasting group had a dropout rate of 38 percent, compared with 29 percent for the caloric-restriction diet group.

But intermittent fasting may be easier for people who already skip meals when they are too busy, said Varady. People interested in intermittent fasting should talk to their doctor before trying it. Health experts do not recommend intermittent fasting for children, people on some medications and people with a history of eating disorders.

【1】What do intermittent fasting and other diets have in common?

A.They limit what you eat. B.They limit when you eat.

C.They help people lose weight D.They are on a part-time basis.

【2】What does the underlined word “hyped” in paragraph 6 mean?

A.Ignored. B.Overstated. C.Welcomed. D.Rejected.

【3】Which statement is right according to the passage?

A.Intermittent fasting is very effective.

B.Intermittent fasting is difficult for all people.

C.People can try intermittent fasting as they like.

D.All people are not advised to do intermittent fasting.

25、I live in San Luis Obispo, California, about four miles from the beach. Every few years, the whales come into the bay for a few days. In November 2020, the whales were around, so I _________my yellow boat to watch the wildlife. At the time, I_________my friend Liz Cottriel if she wanted to watch them.

“No way,” she said. She’s _________of whales, and was terrified that the boat would overturn while we were in it. I_________her that the boat was super stable. Finally I got her to_________ to join me.

It was warm for November, so we wore T-shirts and leggings (紧身裤). For the first half-hour, we didn’t see anything. Then I _________ two pairs of whales swimming toward us.

When whales go down after breaching (跃出水面), they _________what looks like an oil slick (浮油) on the water. I figured if we moved toward that spot, we’d be _________from the whales, since they’d just left. We followed them at a distance. I later found out that it’s_________ that we keep 90 meters away. We were probably more like 18 meters away.

All of a sudden, a large group of fish started __________out of the water into our boat. At that moment, I knew we were too__________. I was terrified. Then I felt the boat lift out of the water. What I didn’t realise at the time was that Liz and I were in a whale’s__________.

Whales have enormous mouths but__________ throats. Anything they can’t swallow, they spit out. We were wearing life jackets, and soon we both popped up out of the water. The entire experience__________ only ten seconds, but to me it felt like an eternity (永恒).

There’s no way I’m getting that close to whales again. I want to__________ their space. I’m now very aware of the power of nature and the ocean.
