21、Inventions change how we live, work, play and think about what’s possible. Every year, TIME magazine lists the 100 best inventions according to their creativity and influence on our lives. What did the magazine choose in 2021? Let's take a look.

Easier to read

Reading can be a big challenge for those who may have poor vision or reading difficulties. But OrCam Read can help them! It’s the first of its kind reading pen with a smart camera and an AI system. After scanning a page of text with the click of a button, it can read the text aloud to the user. You don’t need to connect it to the Internet. You can use it nearly everywhere.

Sweet idea

Honey is produced by bees. But today’s beekeeping business is not good for these hard-working insects. Dee farmers may kill them after harvesting honey because it’s cheaper than feeding the bees through the winter. To save bees, US company McliBio has found a way to make the world’s first bee-free honey. They used synthetic biology to create honey directly from plants. This kind of honey tastes just like the real one, and it is healthy, too.

Keep you calm

When you feel angry or unhappy, what do you do about it7 Scientists say you can try to calm others. This can help you calm down. That’s why Purrble was invented. This furry, bear-like toy has 9 sensors. It has a quick “heartbeat” and can respond to your touch. As you hold and pet it’s its heartbeat slows. And it purrs（发出咕噜声）like a cat. It sounds like it really enjoys your touch!

Through petting Purrble, you will become more aware of your own feelings and learn how to feel calm yourself.

【1】How should people with reading difficulties use OrCam Read?

22、 People in several American states may be surprised to see cars on city streets without a driver. Experimental driverless vehicles now are legal in Florida, Nevada and California. They are pointing the way to a future that is not far down the road. The high-tech company Google has a number of self-driving cars, which had covered 480,000 kilometers by August. Volvo is among the companies doing road tests and says it plans to sell driverless cars by 2020.

In September, California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state. “Today we’re looking at science fiction becoming tomorrow's reality-the driverless car. ” The technology for these cars includes cameras, radar and motion sensors. The systems have been improved through competitions sponsored by the U. S. government agency DARPA. Engineer Richard Mason of the Rand Corporation helped design driverless vehicles for DARPA challenge races.

Cars have become much more fuel-efficient, and new electronic features are' making Hondas safer, said Angie Nucci of Honda America.  “A camera on the passenger-side mirror actually engaged on your guiding screen so you can safely change lanes. ” Other safety features include warning systems on the front and the sides of the cars.  These systems help drivers , but don’t replace them. Curator Leslie Kendall of the Petersen Automotive Museum said autonomous cars will make the high ways safer．

“By taking out drivers, you also remove most risks of an accident, ”Kendall said. He said , “Consumers, however, may be unwilling to lose control. It may take them time to come to realize that the technology is indeed reliable, but it will have to prove itself first. ”

Mason said the technology already works and the biggest challenge now is getting down the cost for driverless vehicles from hundreds of thousands of dollars to something more affordable. He said this will happen as the technology is improved.

【1】According to the passage, California Governor Jerry Brown ______________.

A. is for the idea of having driverless cars

B. sponsored the DARPA competition to improve the driverless system

D. thinks that driving safety is the most important issue in his state

【2】 What is the role of the systems mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A. They can help cars run much faster.

B. They can take the place of drivers now.

C. They can make cars run without fuel.

D. They can help people drive more safely.

【3】In Kendall’s opinion, who probably don’t rely on the driverless cars at first?

A. managers in the high-tech company Google

B. officers from the U. S. government agency DARPA

C. car consumers

D. vehicle designers

【4】According to Richard Mason, what is the biggest challenge for driverless cars?

A. They need to have more comfortable seats .

B. They are now too expensive for consumers.

23、Harry Potter, Transformers, Minions and Jurassic Park. If you are a fan of Hollywood movies and want to relive the exciting and heartwarming moment when you first saw these typical characters and film scenes, welcome to Universal Studios Beijing.

The theme park, which is part of Universal Beijing Resort that also includes Universal City Walk and two hotels, officially opened on Monday. All tickets for the opening sold out within a minute, despite the ticket sales system crashing because of the number of people trying to purchase them. That the high-priced tickets sold like hot buns shows how enthusiastically Chinese visitors have embraced the new entertainment venue in Beijing. The fifth Universal Studios worldwide is the Chinese capital's first foreign-brand amusement park.

The 35 billion-yuan ($5.4 billion) project, first proposed 20 years ago, is expected to attract around 12 million visitors each year, and thus give a huge motivation to Beijing's cultural and tourism industry. The resort has become a new growth point for the region, as it has already created 12,000 to 15,000 jobs after the start of formal operations, and will indirectly provide 90,000 jobs in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area.

It is clear that the theme park has opened its doors to the public at a time when Sino-US ties are being damaged by their differences on issues such as trade, human rights, Taiwan and the South China Sea. Despite this, the popularity of Universal Studios in China reflects the role that culture can play as a bridge to improve understanding and good relationship among people, which is the foundation of healthy bilateral relations.

The opening should also increase confidence in the Chinese market as a heaven for foreign investment (投资), including that of US companies. "The future among foreign businesses in China remains positive, largely due to the Chinese government's early and strict response to the pandemic, an improving investment environment, and expectation of a more predictable policy environment," according to the 2021 Business Climate Survey released by AmCham China earlier this year.

【1】Why did the writer mention characters like Harry Potter in the first paragraph?

A．To attract people to Universal Studios Beijing.

B．To remind people of these typical Hollywood characters.

C．To encourage people to review these movies.

D．To persuade people to be fans of Hollywood movies

A．Chinese people show warm welcome to the arrival of the park.

B．The park found its easy way to settle down in China.

C．The opening of the park will benefit the surrounding areas a lot.

D．Culture sometimes counts a lot in the foundation of relationships.

【3】What are healthy bilateral relations (双边关系) based on?

A．Culture and communication.

B．Peace and love.

C．Convenience and investment.

D．Understanding and harmony.

【4】According to the passage, what ensures a bright future of foreign investment in China?

A．The warm welcome of the Chinese people.

B．The favorable environment.

24、   After finishing my teaching for a school year, I thought that I should go back to Montreal, Quebec, my hometown for a visit. My main goal was to relax in preparation for the challenges of my retirement in the coming year.

Through my stay in Montreal, I met lots of Chinese who were struggling to succeed and then led a better life in Canada.

Some travelled thousands of miles to get knowledge. When I spoke with some of them about the major barrier they had to face after they arrived in Canada, they all talked about the two official languages of Canada. But I was impressed by their ability to express their ideas while they switched between English and French.

Almost all of those people said they often felt homesick. They missed their families and friends. Though Montreal had lots of Chinese restaurants, they longed for a home-cooked meal.

I met some tourists who were trying to realize their childhood dreams of experiencing the life in a developed country. When I asked them if Montreal had lived up to their expectations, they hesitated. They said that reality never agrees with fantasies. However, they were glad to have the opportunity to visit Montreal and didn’t regret taking the trip.

Not all the Chinese people I met were happy. I once met a young lady who met a gentleman through the Internet. However, to her disappointment, he disappeared after he promised to marry her in Montreal.

I was served by another Chinese person who could not handle the challenges of studying in an English environment and ended up working in a restaurant with minimum pay.

Exploring different parts of the world, without any doubt, is an amazing experience. However, one should be realistic when it comes to leaving his hometown to set up a new life in a foreign country. One should take the time to examine the advantages and the shortcomings of the venture before they decide to chase an uncertain dream of achieving success or leading a better life.

A.meet his old friends B.prepare for his retirement life

C.neutral D.positive

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A.Struggling for a Better Life in Canada.

B.Exploring Different Parts of Canada.

C.Improving Life Skills in Canada.

D.Going to Canada—Your Ideal Destination.
