21、Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents(洋流). Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way-by studying movements of random floating garbage. A scientist with many years’ experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.

Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes — about 60,000 in total — fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn't. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.

The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing(海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1, 600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study.

As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.

23、Does your local high school have a student newspaper? Only 1 in 8 of New York’s public high schools has student newspapers- and many of those are published just a few times a year.

Rebecca Dwarka, an 18-yeax-old senior who works for her student paper said, “Nowadays nearly nobody wants to actually sit down and read a whole article about the news, This makes ’a whole article’ sound a little like a long sentence in lonely places.”

I am not nostalgic (怀旧的) about high school student newspapers. I put out what was then called a personal magazine with a group of friends because we wanted to write about peace, war and rock and roll without school officials warming us not to make jokes of this or that.

School newspapers are in decline because students now find out what happened on social networking websites. This is a little discouraging because it proves that for millions of Americans, journalism is becoming a do-it-yourself thing. Every citizen can be a reporter.

When something happens, we look for social media messages. They have become the means by which citizens and reporters can prove, deny(否认), pass on stories and express opinions without the press’s challenging, researching or delaying the messages

But truly good journalism is a craft, not just a blog post. It requires observing something carefully and it uses an eye for detail to help illuminate(阐明) a larger view. And even journalism that expresses an opinion tries to be fair. If school newspapers begin to disappear, I hope there are other ways for students to learn that.

【1】What can we infer from Rebecca’s words?

A．School newspapers are becoming unpopular.

B．Long sentences are becoming popular in lonely places.

C．School newspapers are the slowest way of spreading.

D．Students like reading detailed articles.

【2】What does the author think of social media messages?

A．They make journalism become a craft.

B．They represent the power of small voices.

C．They are coming without careful research.

D．They are usually discouraging for readers.

【3】What should good journalism do according to the author?

A．Express an opinion in a fair way.

B．Ignore some details.

C．Spread a message quickly.

D．Act as blog posts in modern times.

【4】Which might be the most suitable title for the passage?

A．Social media or newspapers?

B．High School Newspapers- an Endangered Species

C．Everyone can Become a Reporter at Present

D．Social Networking Brings about New Journalism

24、Ricky lived in a house which had everything you could ever want. Though he didn’t help much around the house, Ricky was pleased when his parents bought home the latest model of robot. As soon as it arrived, it went off cooking, cleaning, and gathering up old clothes from Ricky’s bedroom floor, which Ricky didn’t like having to walk on. On that first day, when Ricky went to sleep, he left his bedroom in a truly bad state（状态）. When he woke up the next morning, everything was perfectly clean and tidy.

In fact, it was actually “too” clean; now Ricky couldn’t find his favorite T-shirt and his favorite toy. However much he searched, the two items did not reappear, and the same was starting to happen with other things. Ricky cast a suspicious (怀疑的) eye on the robot. He began following it around the house. Finally he caught it red-handed, picking up one of Ricky’s toys to hide it.

He went off, running to his parents, to tell them that the robot was broken and badly programmed. Ricky asked them to have it changed. But his parents told him absolutely not. They needed the robot very much.

One day, the robot heard the boy’s complaints. The robot returned with one of the boy’s toys and some clothes for him. “Here, sir. I did not know it was bothering you,” said the robot, “The objects were left on the floor. I therefore figured that you did not like them. I am programmed to collect all that is not wanted, and at night I send it to places where other humans can use it.”

Ricky started feeling ashamed. He had spent all his life treating things as if they were useless. Yet it was true that many other people would be delighted to treat those things with all the care in the world. Since then, Ricky had put real care into how he treated his things. And often, he would buy things, and take them along with his good friend, the robot, to help out those other people who needed them.

But when mum got home from work, I was still ________, “Five pages! That’s impossible!”

“Well, you’d better get back to work,” she said. “and I want to read it when you’re through.”

Soon after dinner, I handed the essay to mum. I half expected a________— at least an “I hope you’ve learned your lesson”. ________, mum laughed and laughed as she read.

The next day, when Ms. Black read the essay to the class, everyone laughed. I could ________ they weren’t making fun of me: they laughed because I had the power to tell a funny story. My________ still needed some nudging (激发), but I did learn I wasn’t shy in print.
