21、In ancient Greece，there were four major athletic meetings and the Olympian meeting played the most important part in the lives of the people.As time passed，the Olympian meeting gradually lost its local character and became first a national event and then international.No one knows exactly how far back the Olympic Games go but some official records date from 776 BC.the Games took place every four years on the plain byMount Olympus.Thousands of people came from all parts of the Greek world to watch the games.The winner of the foot race had the great honor of giving his name to the year of his history.

After a long history of almost 1，200 years，the Games were stopped for religious（宗教的）reasons. It was then decided in 1896 to start the Olympic Games again. The meeting was held in Athens and 311 athletes from 13 countries took part in it but the idea of such an international meeting attracted the world's attention. After the 1908 London Olympics, many nations sent their best athletes. Although the Games have been time and again threatened by some unfavorable political events, the Games have taken place every four years.

Nowadays, the Games are held in different countries in turn.

22、   If you're like many people, you may have decided that you want to spend less time staring at your phone. It's a good idea: an increasing body of evidence suggests that the time we spend on our smartphones is affecting our sleep, self-respect, relationships, memory, attention, creativity, productivity and problem solving and decision-making skills.

Until now, most discussions of phones' biochemical effects have focused on dopamine (多巴胺)，a brain chemical that helps us form habits. Smart-phones and apps are designed to cause dopamine's release, with the goal of making our phones difficult to put down.

But our phones' effects on cortisol（皮质醇）are potentially even more alarming. Cortisol is our primary fight-or-flight hormone. Its release（释放） causes our bodies' changes, such as a jump in blood pressure, heart rate and blood sugar, that help us react to and survive acute physical threats. But by raising levels of cortisol, our phones may be threatening our health and shortening our lives.

The average American spends four hours a day staring at their smart-phone and keeps it within arm's reach nearly all the time, according to a tracking app called Moment. The result, as Google has noted in a report, is that "mobile phones loaded with social media, email and news apps" create "a constant sense of commitment bringing unintended personal stress."

"Your cortisol levels are increased when your phone is in sight or nearby, or when you hear it or even think you hear it," says David Greenfield, professor at the University of Connecticut School. "It's a stress response, and it feels unpleasant, and the body's natural response is to want to check the phone to make the stress go away."

But while doing so might comfort you for a second, it probably will make things worse in the long run. Any time you check your phone, you're likely to find something else stressful waiting for you, leading to another increase in cortisol and another desire to check your phone to your anxiety go away. This cycle, when continuously strengthened, leads to increased cortisol levels, which have been tied to an increased risk of serious health problems, including depression, obesity, high blood pressure, heart attack and so on.

【1】What phone-related effect is dopamine responsible for?

A.Memory loss. B.Increased mental stress.

C.A behavioral addiction. D.Poor sleep quality.

【2】What can we infer about cortisol according to the text?

A.Its decrease will improve heart rate.

B.Its release will lower blood pressure.

C.Its release has no benefits for humans.

D.Its increase is related to personal stress.

【3】What may be further talked about after the last paragraph?

A.Ways to make phones less stressful.

B.Benefits of reducing dopamine levels.

C.Reasons why cortisol levels are increased.

D.Bad results of checking phones frequently.

【4】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

A.Entertainment. B.Health. C.Technology. D.Education.

23、Exploring Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. Gaining a richer and deeper understanding of psychology can help people achieve insights into their own actions as well as a better understanding of other people. 【1】

One important benefit from a psychology major is that it teaches the student about the human mind and why people act in various manners. Not all psychology majors will become psychologists. 【2】 All people must interact with others whether it is at home or at a workplace. People respond to these interactions in a wide number of ways. For instance, the person may not know why he or she is bothered by a specific action at work. However, the person who has studied psychology has an obvious advantage in this area.

Psychology also offers the individual insight into himself or herself. As the person learns about the human mind, how it works and why people behave in specific manners, the person may also begin to recognize both harmful and helpful thought patterns in himself or herself.

This may lead the person to an increased level of self-awareness. 【3】 It also shows the person where he or she possesses strength and crucial skills for the modern world. Individuals who are more self-aware are more likely to accomplish their goals and dreams.

【4】 A person may enter a vast field where psychologists and those trained in psychology work. These areas include industrial psychology, school psychology, private practice, organizational behavioral fields, law enforcement and virtually every other field.

【5】 As stated, there are a number of career opportunities from which a psychology major may choose.

A．Self-awareness is a vital skill for any person to have.

B．It shows the individual what areas the person needs to strengthen.

C．As a result, psychology becomes an incredibly popular college major.

D．A psychology major examines the science of human behavior and mental processes.

E．All fields have the opportunity to benefit from the guidance that psychology can offer.

F．The third reason why psychology is a useful major is that it opens up a wide range of career opportunities.

G．However, all psychology majors will develop an increased awareness about human behavior and thought patterns.

24、   Alibaba Group will extend its digital operating system to 1.5 million small neighborhood stores in China. Under the so-called Plan W, Alibaba is looking to develop a number of smaller shops with a daily revenue of over 10,000 yuan ($1,456) in lower-tier cities, townships and villages.

The latest move falls under Alibaba’s Ling Shou Tong (LST) business unit, which connects the millions of street stands in China and improves marketing, delivery, and inventory management abilities through digital means. The data-backed retail management system has been designed to digitize the business of millions of mom and pop stores and neighborhood convenience stores.

Alibaba will offer a smart point-of-sale system, some 10,000 new product offerings, and a variety of online touchpoints to help users access offline stores virtually. Alibaba intends to help these mom and pop stores double or even triple their revenue, and they can sell more efficiently, and get flexibility to refill stocks based on their changing needs.

Its POS machine performs every function throughout the retail process and provides real-time suggestions. For instance, it would send out alerts on potential stock shortage, and would recommend cost-effective purchase to enhance the store’s profitability. The machine also collects average selling price for a certain product in the nearby areas, thereby giving references to shop-owners to make informed pricing decisions.

Furthermore, an inventory monitoring system is in operation to give real-time advice on product display. This is coupled with a three-layer warehouse system covering 200 cities and townships to ensure the timely delivery of products, based on geographical shopping preferences that are present in Alibaba’s data book.

Despite slow consumption growth at home and abroad, one in every five small shops surveyed by LST reported they have witnessed positive revenue growth. Average daily revenue surpassed 7,000 yuan,  compared with the 3,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan range for average offline stores.

【1】Why does Alibaba come up with Plan W?

A.To open 1.5 million small neighbourhood stores in China.

B.To improve supermarkets’ digital operating system in urban areas.

C.To increase revenue of smaller shops through digital means.

D.To move Ling Shou Tong business unit to under-developed areas.

【2】How can Alibaba’s POS machine make a difference?

A.By warning possible stock shortage.

B.By increasing profit at a higher price.

C.By comparing prices of a product in different cities.

D.By offering shop-owners advice on bargaining.

【3】Which of the following systems functions as a platform where products are distributed punctually?

A.The data-backed retail management system. B.The point-of-sale system.

C.The inventory monitoring system. D.The three-layer warehouse system.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.Application of Digital Means to Small Shops B.Real Secrets of Alibaba Group’s Success
