21、We have long been told that using mobile phones on airplanes could be dangerous. “It could interfere with the plane’s communication network,” flight staff might say. What they really mean could be: “If you don’t put your phone away then you alone will be responsible for crashing this plane.”

Well, as it turns out, this might not be true after all.

New guidelines, sent out last month by The European Aviation Safety Agency, said that electronic devices do not cause a safety risk during flights. It means that iPod lovers and mobile phone chatterboxes (话匣子) can enjoy their devices on planes, as long as the airline choose to allow them.

It is not only Europe that has made a U-turn on the rule. Earlier this year, some US and Canadian airlines lifted their restrictions but said that all devices must be kept in “airplane mode”.

There have been many studies into the safety of electronic devices on flights and the results are often different. One study in 2003 found that the electromagnetic (电磁的) radio transmitters (发送器) in some personal devices could affect the basic functions of the cockpit, such as GPS (global position system), which ensure safe landings. However, the report also said that there is no evidence of this being the cause of an accident so far.

Some will be happy with the new rules. They will look forward to proper arrival times and no more waiting around at airports. They will also look forward to no more missed calls, piles of text messages, or wondering what’s happened.

Others won’t be so happy. If you happen to be seated next to a chatterbox, say goodbye to sleep and hello to boring “I’m on a plane” conversations.

But you don’t need to worry so soon. Unless you have a satellite phone, there’s no signal at 33,000ft (10 km). Since calls can be made through Wi-Fi, airlines will have to install Wi-Fi so that passengers can start sending texts and making calls.

And until they do so, flights remain one of the only safe places to hide from the world of endless e-mails and phone calls.

【1】The author intends to ________ by the first two paragraphs.

A．To warn readers not to use mobile phones.

B．To tell some unwanted experiences.

C．To emphasize a safety risk during flights.

D．To introduce the topic of the article.

【2】What can we know about the study in 2003?

A．The use of electronic devices during flights has turned out to be safe.

B．Airlines should make sure that all devices must be kept in “airplane mode”.

C．No accidents have been proven to be caused by using electronic devices on flights.

D．Using personal electronic devices has no effect on the basic functions of the cockpit.

【3】Why does the author say “But you don’t need to worry so soon” in paragraph 8?

A．Because it’s not a good idea to always worry about daily life.

B．Because now passengers can’t make calls in the sky without signals.

C．Because airlines will have to install Wi-Fi on airplanes very soon.

D．Because flights can still help you escape from reality at present.

【4】What is the author’s attitude to using phones during flights?

A．Objective.

B．Supportive.

C．Critical.

D．Doubtful.

22、   When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, yes, and drink all of them. Then you're ready for an adventure.

Researchers from the University of Sussex in England say they have found for the first time experimental evidence that sour tastes lead to more risk-taking behaviour in a paper published on 7 June, 2019.

In the study, 168 volunteers from the UK and Vietnam were given a 20ml solution representing one of the five main taste groups: bitter, salty, sour, sweet and umami. The tasters then took part in a computerized test that measures risk-taking: they got paid to blow up a digital balloon. The more air in the balloon, the more money they could get; they could cash out whenever they wanted. But if the balloon popped or exploded? Bye  bye , potential winnings.

When the researchers studied the performance of the volunteers, they found the people who'd tasted sour were much more likely to keep pumping up the balloon compared with people who'd gotten a taste of the other solutions. On average, sour tasters were 39% more likely to push the balloon to its limits than sweet tasters, 20.50% more than bitter, 16.03% more than salty and 40.29% more than umami.

This finding makes a degree of sense—without taking risks, we don't learn anything new. And it is obvious that people with disorders such as anxiety and depression are unwilling to take risks. So, the researchers argue, if you have these disorders, maybe adding more sour foods into your diet could help keep that aversion in check. Then you'd be more likely to take chances, like talking to a stranger, and that will lead to self-improvement.

【1】Where does this passage most probably come from?

【2】What can we learn about the volunteers?

A.They came from the University of Sussex in England.

B.They got one taste drink after they filled up a balloon.

【3】This finding may be more helpful to the people who   .

A.are in a negative mood

B.like to drink lemonade

C.joined in the experiment

D.like talking to strangers

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

A.Good Tastes Encourage Adventures.

B.Sour Tastes Make You Risk-taking.

C.Lemonade Does Good to Health.

D.Sour Foods Keep You Happy.

23、   Many people all over the world speak English as their second language and it is not too much to say that it has become an international language.

Studying English can make life fun. It enables you to watch American movies, read English books and listen to English songs. Moreover, as English is an international language, you will be able to communicate with foreigners when you are on a trip abroad. Traveling will be more interesting that way.

It is a good idea to make friends with foreigners. In my opinion, it is the best way to improve your English. In addition, it will bring you a lot of fun and expand your view of the world. If you make friends with a native speaker, you can practice your spoken English more often, and then you can communicate with people around the world. You can also become familiar with the customs and habits of different cultures.

There are some people who are afraid to make friends with foreigners, because they are not confident about their English. However, many foreigners do not care about grammar. They will get your key words in the sentence and know the whole meaning. Therefore, it is unnecessary to be afraid; just go ahead..

In brief, English is so useful to us that we should all learn it.

【1】Why does the writer think it necessary for us to learn English?

A.Because English has become an international language.

B.Because he uses it as a second language

24、   Wherever we look, we see advertisements that attract us to buy. In today’s society, we are under pressure to constant shop. Of course, most people only buy what they need and what they can afford. However, there are some people called shopaholics, who can’t control their desire to spend money buying things. This kind of addictive behavior can lead to money problems, family conflicts, and deep unhappiness.

What are the symptoms of a shopaholic? People with this problem often spend hours and hours shopping on the Internet or at the mall. Their closets are full of clothing and jewelry that they have never worn, with the price tags still on them. Their homes may be filled with shopping bags and boxes that they bought but never used. Many shopaholics are aware of their own problems, but when they go to a store, they simply can’t resist the urge to buy. Some of them are ashamed of their weakness and try to hide it by storing their purchases in places like the attic(阁楼), where others won’t see them.

Psychologists think there are several reasons for a shopping addiction. For some people, it is a way of reducing stress. For others, shopping is a way to fight loneliness or depression. For people with less confidence, shopping can be a way that they prove their self-worth. Sometimes the problem develops out of boredom. It replaces other hobbies and interests to help kill the time. Although shopping can temporarily make people feel good. they often feel ashamed and guilty later.

When shopping habits get out of control, people need professional help. They can either see a counselor(顾问) or join an organization such as Shopaholics Anonymous. Groups like this try to help people understand the reasons for their addiction and learn how to control the urge to shop. Their goal is to help people find ways to fulfill themselves rather than lead to serious debt and troubled lives.

【1】What are “shopaholics” like according to the passage?

A.They often spend plenty of money in shopping. B.They are proud of spending much money.

C.They are addicted to collecting shopping bags. D.They fail to realize their desire to shop constantly.

【2】Why do some shoppers hide their purchases in the attic?

A.They treasure what they have bought. B.They want to give their family a surprise.

C.They are afraid of being regarded as thieves. D.They are ashamed of their own constant shopping.

【3】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Money. B.Shopping. C.Stress. D.Self-worth.

【4】What are groups like “Shopaholics Anonymous” intended to do?

A.To encourage people to overcome their bad feelings.

B.To seek professional help in window shopping.

C.To help control some people’s desire to purchase.

D.To call on more people to get rid of their bad habits.

26、阅读下面的短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

History is a topic that many find boring to study or a waste of time. But there is more to studying history than meets the eye. Then “Why is history important?”

History can help us become better informed citizens. It shows us who we are as a collective group, and being informed of this is a key element in maintaining a democratic society. This knowledge helps people take an active role in the political forum through educated debates and by refining people’s core beliefs. Through knowledge of history, citizens can even change their old belief systems.

By looking at specific stories of individuals and situations, you can test your own morals and values. You can compare it to some real and difficult situations individuals have had to face in trying times. Looking to people who have faced and overcome adversity can be inspiring. You can study the great people of history who successfully worked through moral dilemmas, and also ordinary people who teach us lessons in courage, persistence and protest.

We learn from past sufferings against groups of people; genocides, wars, and attacks. Through the collective sufferings, we have learned to pay attention to the warning signs leading up to such sufferings. Society has been able to take these warning signs and fight against them when they see them in the present day. Knowing what events led up to these various wars helps us better influence our future.

The skills that are acquired through learning about history, such as critical thinking, research, assessing information, etc, are all useful skills that are sought by employers. Many employers see these skills as being an advantage in their employees and will hire those with history degrees in various roles and industries.

Understanding past events and how they impact the world today can bring about empathy and understanding for groups of people whose history may be different from the mainstream. You will also understand the suffering, joy, and chaos that were necessary for the present day to happen and appreciate all that you are able to benefit from past efforts today.
