21、The Notre-Dame de Paris (巴黎圣母院) fire has been put out, but its spire (尖顶) and a large portion of its wooden roof have been damaged. The terrible destruction caused a sudden sharp pain to people around the world. “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder any more.”
But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely through a video game called Assassins Creed: Unity. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre-Dame de Paris as it was before the fire. Further, with the virtual reality technology, which is already quite mature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre-Dame de Paris as if it was still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage.
The idea of making digital models of ancient buildings to save their data dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with multiple images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one.
As computers and smartphones are hugely popular, the digital model has great useful value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them. Furthermore, it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness of them via the Internet. In 2000, a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years. Above all, it preserves all the information about the cultural relics.
Of course, however precise a model is, it is not the original. Maybe we will have better technologies in the future, but digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.
【1】Why does the author mention the Notre-Dame de Paris in paragraph one?
A.To present a viewpoint.
B.To support an argument.
C.To provide an example.
D.To introduce the topic.
【2】What do we know about the digital technology mentioned?
A.It gives nothing like real experiences.
B.It can protect relics from no damage.
C.It is irreplaceable even in the future.
D.It serves its purposes in preservation.
【3】What is the most suitable title for the passage?
A.Architectural cultural heritage is under protection
B.The Notre-Dame de Paris will be towering there
C.Digital models work to preserve cultural heritage
D.Hi-tech makes cultural relics secure from tourism
22、The parents of a troubled teen may feel unsure as to whom to turn to in order to find help for their child. They may feel as if they have exhausted all of their options, and sometimes they are on the verge of giving up. But there is hope. Schools for troubled teens offer discipline and in some cases, drug treatment programs that can provide important life skills, and more importantly, a fresh start.
The following is a list of the most effective types of schools for troubled teens. Not every facility is a match for every child, but by knowing the differences between them, parents can make a better educated decision about where to send their teenager.
Boarding Schools
When a child is unable to deal with the relative freedom of a standard school day, boarding schools might be a good choice. At boarding schools, the child lives in a dorm setting, where almost every minute of the day is scheduled by school administrators.
Treatment Centers
When a teenager has an addiction to drugs or alcohol, a residential center that specializes in young people is an outstanding way to help them break the cycle of addiction. Treatment centers feature individual and group counseling to help identify the root causes of the drug problem and help develop the life skills needed to stay clean when the program is over.
Wilderness Programs
Designed to help improve the discipline and self-reliance of the child, wilderness programs send kids back to nature. By placing them in a foreign and sometimes uncomfortable setting, wilderness programs hope to improve children’s behavior. Programs generally include hikes, exercise programs and team building exercises.
Boot Camps
Boot camps are the most extreme style of school for troubled teens. These facilities are modeled after actual military boot camps, where the individual must get into shape, work as part of a team, and follow a long, hard set of rules and regulations. However, boot camps might not be the best choice for a teen with a drug addiction.
【1】Who would be the intended readers of the passage?
A. Teachers. B. Parents.
C. Students. D. Experts.
【2】As the author suggests, schools for troubled teens______.
A. can be a good choice for some desperate parents
B. can completely help and change troubled teens
C. are becoming popular with teens in trouble
D. care more about discipline than life skills
【3】According to the passage, boarding schools_____.
A. provide children with more freedom
B. have their students’ time managed carefully
C. pay much attention to team building exercises
D. can make children feel safer
23、After a difficult academic year, we all deserve a wonderful summer holiday, a time for relaxation and celebration. Of course, a big part of any celebration involves food. Many of my holidays, birthdays, days out and good memories are defined by the amazing food that was involved. The sunny weather and long days bring with it a whole selection of meals, recipes and snacks to be enjoyed.
The first thing that summer calls for is a barbecue. Although I don’t have a barbecue at home, a portable barbecue will do the trick and this means that you can enjoy a slightly charred burger wherever you are. Picnics are also a must for summer and I often find they are the most fun when treated like a potluck, with each person bringing along their personal favourites. Cocktail sausages and mini Scotch eggs are always my guilty pleasures. As someone from the Suffolk coast, fish and chips are essential. It truly feels like summer when I sit on the beach with chips wrapped in paper on my lap. The coast is the best place to get a seafood treat with fish being caught fresh daily. Besides, you can finish your day with a walk along the beach. Finally, we can’t forget the drinks. Pimms in the sun, well balanced by lemonade and summer fruits, is always delicious. And I find that nothing reminds me more of post-exam celebrations than a pint in a beer garden.
The thing about summer food is that it often becomes food associated with summer memories. Picnics, barbecues, and fish and chips on the beach are more than just delicious meals — they are a way to socialise and have fun with friends and family. Part of the fun comes from lazing in the sun afterwards, swimming in the sea, and playing heartily, which is why our food memories are so powerful.
【1】According to the author, what makes a picnic most enjoyable?
A.Gathering with friends.
B.Sharing delicious foods.
C.Enjoying seafood treats.
D.Introducing different recipes.
【2】Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “portable” in paragraph 2?
A.Multifunctional.
B.Automatic.
C.Easy to carry.
D.Simple to operate.
【3】What is the most likely to make the author recall post-exam celebrations?
A.Having a barbecue at home.
B.Taking a walk along the beach.
C.Getting a seafood treat on the coast.
D.Enjoying some Pimms in a beer garden.
【4】In which part of a newspaper can you most probably read the text?
A.Travel and holiday.
B.Cuisine and life.
C.Sports and fitness.
D.Education and schooling.
24、 Imagine you are opening your own company and want to hire a manager. You have two candidates and they are both capable and experienced, so who would you rather hire: Julia Watson or Shobha Bhattacharva? Chances are that you would prefer Watson, right? But why?
“Easy names are evaluated as more familiar, less risky and less dangerous, ” Eryn Newman, a scientist at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, told Scientific American. As a result, people with easier names are often assumed to be more trustworthy. This is what Newman and her teammates have found in their recent study.
In the experiment, they picked 18 different foreign names, including difficult-to-pronounce ones like Yevgeni Dherzhinsky and easy names like Bodo Wallmeyer. They then attached each name with a statement such as “turtles are deaf” and “giraffes are the only mammals that cannot jump” and asked volunteers whether they thought the claims were true.
The results showed that claims connected to easier names were more often ranked as believable than those attributed to difficult names, regardless of what the truth really was. In fact, previous studies have already found that our judgments about products can be affected by their names. For example, we tend to think of a food additive (添加剂) with an easier name as safer and a stock with an easier name as more lucrative (利润丰厚的),according to Medical Daily.
But researchers pointed out that this effect can change depending on where someone comes from. For example, a native British man may find “Yevgeni Dherzhinsky” hard to pronounce while Russian people could say it without effort. Newman hopes that this finding can make us better see our biases (偏见). It’s not just unfair to people that we make judgments based on gut feelings (直觉) rather than facts, and it can sometimes have serious consequences.
For example, we may choose to believe certain eyewitnesses in court simply because their names sound more trustworthy even if they are actually lying. Or, we may let go of qualified job candidates due to their “difficult” names.
Now, if you could make that decision again, would you still prefer Julia Watson to Shobha Bhattacharva?
【1】What did Newman and her teammates discover in their experiment?
A.Volunteers with easier names were more likely to choose true claims.
B.A difficult name doesn’t influence the way the volunteers viewed the claims.
C.Volunteers trusted claims paired with easy names more often.
D.Volunteers trusted claims connected with difficult names.
【2】The underlined words “this effect” in Paragraph 5 refer to the effect ______.
A.names have on peoples judgments
B.gut feelings have on people from different places
C.of decisions made based on facts
D.of people’s biases against certain types of people
【3】What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A.We should think twice before we make a decision.
B.The harder your name is to pronounce, the more likely it is you will get a job.
C.Judging people based on their names may cause serious problems.
D.Russians have less bias against people’s names than the British.
【4】What is probably the best title for the text?
A.Names Affect Products
B.Employers Prefer Shobha Bhattacharva
C.Difficult Names are Trustworthy
D.Easy Names Win Out
