21、Don’t be surprised if you see a group of people dancing or shouting on the square. They are a flash mob (快闪族). Confused by their name? Actually, a flash mob, organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks, is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a period of time, such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and shouting something at the top of their lungs for 30 seconds, and then quickly disappear before the police can arrive.

Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper’s Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3, 2003 at Macy’s department store involving 100 people gathering on Macy’s Department Store. Following this, about 200 people flooded the lobby of the Hyatt hotel, applauding in one voice for fifteen seconds, and next participants pretending to be tourists on a trip invaded a shoe shop in Soho. A later mob saw hundreds of people in Central Park making bird noises.

Wasik claimed that he created flash mobs as a social experiment designed to tease hipsters (追逐时尚的人), and highlight the cultural atmosphere of agreement and of being part of “the next big thing”. Many web logs, chat rooms and Web groups are devoted to the craze. Though flash mobs were originally regarded as useless, the concept has already developed for the benefit of political and social events. Flash mobbing takes advantage of the efficiency of communicating information on Websites and by email, and protesters can similarly use the “on and off” concept to be involved in political events. Such flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock or frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. They also have enormous economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.

The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, hundreds of Michael Jackson’s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him, gathering outside the railway station in Liverpool, singing and dancing Michael’s famous song, beat it together. In another example, some people took part in a flash mob to warn people against negative words. Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.

【1】 A flash mob is most likely to .

A. give out leaflets of a brand bicycle to the passers-by

B. gather in public places performing and leave quickly

C. plan to go mountaineering on the first day of Horse Year

D. sit for days in front of the city hall for higher wages

【2】According to the passage, what contribute(s) most to the popularity of the flash mob?

A. Harper’s Magazine B. the government

C. political events   D. digital networks

【3】The purpose of the writing is .

A. to amuse and interest     B. to argue and advise

C. to describe and introduce D. to question and comment

22、Maybe you recently lost your job. Maybe you broke up with your girlfriend.Or maybe a driver hit the back of your car and destroyed it.We all probably faced these situations at one time or another. Whether it’s one of the above or something else that got you down and made it difficult to get back up again, there is one quick and easy way to help you feel better. It’s called relativity.

Relativity is a psychological tool that helps people judge their situations from different viewpoints and minimize(最小化)feelings of self-pity. No matter what the negative situation is, it works really well to help someone recover from a hard time.

For example, you find yourself trapped in work assignments, hardly having time to come up for air. Your workload is eating into your personal life and even weekends. You’re unhappy, underpaid, and not getting time to rest. But how does this situation compare to someone that doesn’t have a job, or is homeless or can’t afford his family? All of a sudden, your crazy busy work life doesn’t seem all that bad. All of a sudden, you’re able to feel thankful that you have a job and have money coming in and that you have a roof over your head.

The point of using relativity is to show you that no matter how difficult your current situation is,there’s always someone who has a much worse situation. Relativity helps us understand that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

The best way to recover from a difficult situation is to use relativity to measure the situation. You’ll often find it’s never as bad as you had thought. This will immediately make you feel better and truly thankful for all that you have. After that, it’s time to outline the steps you need to take to get back on the horse. But wherever you find yourself right now, use relativity to make you feel better and help you walk down the path to your final goal.

A．lacking social skills.

C．not knowing their life goals.

D．faced with depressing moments.

【2】Why does the writer advise people to use relativity?

D．It makes people benefit from thinking differently.

【3】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph4 mean?

A．Bad situations usually can’t get any worse.

B．Our situations are not surely worse than others’.

C．The other side of things may bring us a surprise.

D．Unpleasant experiences will become our greatest wealth.

【4】Which of the following would the writer agree with?

A．We should be grateful for our life.

B．Heavy workload destroys people’s life.

C．Clear goals help people succeed easily.

D．People need to face worse situations directly.

23、   Photographic self-portraits have existed for as long as cameras have been in human hands. But what about selfies in space? On Twitter last year, NASA astronaut Edwin Buzz Aldrin, who famously became the second man to walk on the moon in July 1969, laid claim to a spaceflight first; taking the first selfie in space during the Gemini XII mission in 1966.

“For me, it needs to be digital to be a selfie.” argues Jennifer Levasseur, a director at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. According to Levasseur, the concept of a selfie is directly linked to internet culture. “The thing that makes a selfie a selfie is sharing it.” she says.

Still, astronauts have been carrying cameras aboard space vehicles since the 1960s. In 1966, Aldrin used a Hasselblad camera designed specifically for space, with an extra-large trigger to accommodate the astronaut's thick gloves. Hasselblad also painted the first camera in space a matte black to reduce reflections in the orbiter window. But cameras used in space need to survive extreme conditions, like temperature swings from - 149° to 248°F, so Hasselblad painted later models silver.

Astronauts visiting the moon then had to take out the film magazines and leave their camera bodies behind when they returned to Earth, because early space missions were limited by a weight limit on the return trip. Then a big change in space camera technology came after the space shuttle Columbia broke apart on its return to Earth in 2003. Levasseur notes. “Fear that they’d never be able to bring film back from space and lose all that hard work” accelerated the push for digital, she says.

Today, astronauts also have access to internet and social platforms in space and can post true space selfies made using digital cameras. Similarly, space robots are participating in selfie culture, capturing remote pictures of themselves in space or on other planets and sending them back to Earth.

【1】Why do selfies in space need to be digital according to Jennifer Levasseur?

A．Astronauts are fond of studying technology.

B．Astronauts are eager to improve themselves.

C．Astronauts desire to communicate on social platforms.

D．Astronauts want to take some related information back.

【2】Why can the Hasselblad camera adjust to the temperature changes in space?

A．It is painted silver.

B．Its matte black gathers light.

C．Its trigger is large enough.

D．It can reduce reflection itself.

【3】What contributed to the faster development of camera technology in space?

A．The heavy space tasks.

B．A spaceflight crash.

C．A damaged space shuttle.

D．The improved film.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．The Origin of Selfies in Space

B．The Popularity of Selfies in Space

C．The Significance of Selfies in Space

D．The Brief History of Selfies in Space

24、Apart from speeches, in my point of view, we can use our eyes to express ourselves. And through one’s eyes, we can read sorrow, happiness, encouragement, and many other emotions. Eyes are always the most direct organs to reveal our thoughts.

Until now I still remember an experience, which happened when I took part in a singing contest at the age of nine. It was the power of my mother’s eyes that encouraged me to go for it. I had shown great interest in singing before that, but I was too shy to sing in public. So one day my mother took me to sign up for the singing contest. With my mother’s company and encouragement, I was determined to meet that challenge. Standing on the stage, I suddenly found I had become the focus of all attention. I got so nervous that I couldn’t even keep my eyes open. When it was my turn to be introduced to the audience and sing, I became even more nervous. I felt my legs were shaking and my memory seemed to have left me—I couldn’t remember anything. Searching for help, I met my mother’s eyes which were sparkling with encouragement and strong power. It seemed that they were speaking to me, “Take it easy. You can do it! I’ll always be with you!” I read the message in her eyes and at that moment I got my confidence back and began to sing my song. When I came down from the stage, she came up to me, saying, “Great! I’m proud of you!” and gave me a big hug. At that moment. I saw her eyes filled with tears of joy. Sometimes, you see, just a look of encouragement from a loved one can make a shy person brave.
