21、   As I walked with my tour group along the city wall, we approached the open gate slowly Peering through the gate we saw in the distance one of the most iconic buildings of Italy: the Leaning Tower. Finally, we were in Pisa.

The first interesting piece of information our tour guide told us was that the Leaning Tower was simply a bell tower. For such a world-famous building to have such a common function was quite surprising. Yet the building does have one remarkable claim to fame: it is where Galileo performed his experiments about falling bodies.

Our next stop was the Cathedral. It looked almost Middle Eastern in its outward appearance. Inside it was unlike any other cathedral I’d ever seen. After we walked around and explored every corner of the building, our guide pointed out one of the most impressive parts of it — the ceiling. A series of carved wooden squares overlain with gold made the ceiling a spectacular accent to an already amazing structure.

After a quick bite in a cafe, we headed back towards the buses and returned to Florence where the choir students whom I was traveling with had an evening performance in a local church. The church was filled and the performance went off without a hitch, making for a nice end to an overall pleasant day in Italy.

【1】What surprised the author about the Leaning Tower?

A.It was a famous building. B.It was located in Pisa.

C.It was used as a bell tower. D.It was where Galileo worked.

【2】What was special about the Cathedral?

A.Its history. B.Its ceiling. C.Its function. D.Its comer.

【3】How was the performance?

A.It was a big failure. B.It went out of control.

C.It ended in success. D.It started behind schedule.

【4】Where is the passage from?

A.A diary. B.A brochure. C.A report. D.A novel.

22、   Due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), people all over the world are wearing masks to reduce the risk of infection. In fact, masks have been helping mankind for centuries. Let’s take a look at some mask-related history.

1st century

In that century, many people in Roman Empire worked underground in mines to support their families. But most of them suffered from and even eventually died of respiratory (呼吸的) illnesses. To address this problem, Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD), recommended the use of animal bladder (膀胱) skins to stop dust from being breathed in. Although simple, his idea was considered the very first recorded mask invention.

19th century

The design of the mask took a big step forward in the 19th century. In 1848, American Lewis Hassley became the first person to patent (注册专利) a protective mask for miners, which was a milestone in face mask history. Masks at this stage were similar to gas masks. Later, in 1897, Polish-Austrian doctor Johann designed a simple mask composed of one layer of gauze (纱布).

20th century

In 1910, an epidemic broke out in Northeast China. Chinese doctor Wu Liande designed a cheap face mask called “Wu’s mask”. Made of two layers of surgical gauze, it could be wrapped around the back of the head and tied in a knot. This mask was praised by experts around the world, as it was simple to manufacture and had a low production cost.

Modern exploration

With several outbreaks of infectious diseases and the flu, and the rise of pollution caused by industrial waste, the materials in masks have continued to evolve to better protect its wearer. In the future, masks will continue to improve, hopefully so will the habits of humans.

【1】According to the text, why were masks invented in the first century?

B.Using cloth instead of animal skins.

【3】“Wu’s mask” grew popular around the world because _____.

23、Pay a visit to the Chicago River and you’ll find that it has a wonderful new addition to the local wildlife. Among the birds and fish, visitors may spot a small robot moving up and down the busy waterway. This is Trashbot, the creation of a startup called Urban Rivers, using cutting-edge technology to clean up trash in the area.

In some ways, Trashbot is like the vacuum cleaners (真空吸收器) found in American homes. But it isn’t. While its free movement and lack of onsite handlers may give the impression that this is a self-driving machine, this could not be further from the truth. At any point in time, Trashbot might be controlled by one of the Internet users.

Anyone with a web connection can get into Urban River’s website and take a two-minute turn at piloting Trashbot. The company’s goal is to use this time to direct Trashbot to pick up trash, and then carry this to a collection point on the river bank, where it can be later removed.

The idea for Trashbot started a few years ago when Urban Rivers’ project the “floating gardens” on the Chicago River got clogged up (被堵塞) with trash. To solve this, they started employing old-fashioned human litter pickers to collect trash from the river. However, this turned out to be ineffective.

The idea of a robot boat was born then, but the team wasn’t sure how to pilot it. Teaching a computer to understand what trash is isn’t easy, Trash is a somewhat abstract concept (概念) . We know it when we see it. At this point they decided to turn to the Internet for help.

“We figured that we could put out a call so that this boat could be controlled by people around the world,” says Nick Wesley, one of the brains behind the project. “Letting people take control of a robot to clean up trash makes for a really cool experience.”

【1】What do we know about Trashbot?

A．It is a vacuum cleaner

B．It is harmful to local wildlife.

C．It is a trash clearing machine.

D．It has been widely used in homes.

【2】How does Trashbot work?

A．It is operated by Internet users.

B．It works for two hours at a time.

C．It is handled by human litter pickers.

D．It recognizes trash and reports it to users.

【3】Where can we find the reason for building Trashbot?

A．In Paragraph 3.

B．In Paragraph 4.

C．In Paragraph 5.

D．In Paragraph 6.

【4】What does Nick Wesley say about piloting Trashbot?

A．It is a risky practice.

B．It may cause a network crash.

C．It fails to meet online users needs.

D．It offers online users a special experience.
