21、One of the statements that many experts seem to agree on is the fact that the great things starts to happen the minute you step outside of your comfort zones. As soon as you decide that you are willing to go beyond what is safe, the possibilities are endless. For me, one of the most important things that we should always keep in mind is the fact that growth and comfort can’t coexist.

Personal development author Napoleon Hill once said: “Whatever the mind can understand and believe, the mind can achieve. Regardless of how many times you may have failed in the past or how lofty(崇高的) your aims and hopes may be.” This statement is especially powerful because it reminds us that we are the only ones who can be responsible for how far we will go. However, stepping outside of our comfort zone is probably the most important step to experiencing real change.

For a long time, I knew that I wanted to live in Argentina, so halfway through my bachelor’s degree, I bought a one-way ticket there. While in Argentina, I finished the last two years of my degree online before flying back home for graduation. I currently still live in Argentina, and I can proudly say that taking the necessary steps to make it a reality was one of the most important things I could have done.

This, of course, by no means at all applies to everyone, and I’m not implying we should all buy one-way tickets to foreign countries and see what happens. But it’s important to know that we should recognize what we desire and try to bring our dreams to life.

Living in a comfort zone can trick us into believing that we have an abundant amount of time when, in reality, we all know that years can fly by without us having accomplished much of what we really wanted to do. So why wait? I’m thankful that I didn’t put off my move until a later date because I would have missed out on a lot of amazing life experiences that have shaped me as a person. If we want to experience even a small amount of change, we will have to step outside of it.

【1】Why do people prefer staying in comfort zone?

A．It makes people feel safe.

B．It leads to great things.

C．It is important for growth.

D．It helps make wise decisions.

【2】What does Napoleon Hill’s statement mean?

A．Time and tide wait for no man.

B．The higher you fly, the harder you fail.

C．Failure is the mother of success.

D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

【3】Which matters most to the author in his/her story?

A．Moving to Argentina.

B．Getting the bachelor’s degree.

C．Studying online.

D．Flying back for graduation.

【4】The author used his/her story to ________.

A．persuade others to follow his/her example

B．encourage others to take immediate action

C．inform people of different foreign culture

D．remind people to be thankful in life

【5】Which one could be the best title?

A．Identify your comfort zone.

B．Value your precious time.

C．Always try something new.

D．Make the best decisions.

22、   A girl, who made headlines around the world when she survived almost two weeks alone in the Siberian wilderness, has won a Russian children’s beauty contest for her bravery. Karina Chikitova, who clung (抱着) on to her loyal puppy, fought to stay alive in a forest full of brown bears and wolves. The promising ballerina celebrates her 10th birthday on Boxing Day and has already won the Mini Miss Yakutia contest.

In August 2014 she was found after a dozen days and nights lost in the remote taiga, sleeping on a bed of long grass and eating wild berries to stay alive. Karina had followed her father into the woods but he had no idea she was trailing him. Then just four years old, she hugged her puppy Naida for warmth in the shivering (颤抖的) cold before the dog found its way home to a remote village, urging rescuers not to give up, and to go and find the little girl.

Karina’s trial was seen as so remarkable that a statue was erected (竖起) of her and the dog in regional capital Yakutsk. A popular children’s book was also written about her, and her fame as a Mowgli seems to have led this remote village girl to amazing new opportunities. Karina was “excited” after she easily won the Mini Miss contest in a social media poll for her rare experience when she was little, making her a young ambassador for Yakutia, Russia’s diamond region, the coldest inhabited place in the world. She is seen as a promising ballerina, already studying full time in Yakutsk, some 350 miles from her home.

“I want to become a ballerina and dance Swan Lake,” she said. “I have also learned how to play the piano.” Bilingual Karina is doing well at school, where she has a talent for maths, and is learning English to add to her fluent Yakut and Russian. When she was found, her rescuer said: “She was sitting deep in grass, completely silent. I didn’t actually notice her. She saw me and stretched her arms forward. I picked her up. She was dead scared.” Later Karina said: “It was Naida who rescued me. I was really scared. But when we were going to sleep I hugged her, and together we were warm.”

【1】How did the girl get lost in the wildness?

A.She traced her father there but he was not aware of it.

B.She was forgotten there by her careless father.

C.She followed her little dog and lost the way.

D.She loved running around and got lost.

【2】Why did the girl win the Children’s beauty contest?

A.Her exceptional talent in ballet dancing.

B.Her whole-hearted devotion to academic performance.

C.Her inspiring survival in the wildness.

D.Her impressive charm and prettiness.

【3】What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A.Karina was highly thought of by the public.

B.A best-seller became Karina’s favorite.

C.A statue was built in honor of Karina’s hometown.

D.A handsome amount of money was awarded to Karina.

【4】Which words can best describe this girl?

A.Courageous and hesitant. B.Confident and honest.

C.Arrogant and fortunate. D.Diligent and ambitious.

23、   One day, gardeners might not just hear the buzz of bees among their flowers, but the whirr of robots, too. Scientists have managed to turn an unassuming drone into a remote-controlled pollinator by attaching horsehairs coated with a special, sticky glue to the under part of it.

Animal pollinators are needed for the reproduction of 90% of flowering plants and one third of human food crops. Chief among those are bees-but many bee populations in the United States have been in steep decline in recent decades. Thus, the decline of bees isn't just worrisome because it could spoil ecosystems. but also, because it could spoil agriculture and economy. People have been trying to come up with replacement techniques, but none of them are especially effective yet.

Scientists have thought about using drones, but they haven't figured out how to make free-flying robot insects that can rely on their own power source without being attached to a wire. “It’s very tough work." said Senior author Elijio Miyako, a chemist at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. His particular contribution to the field involves a kind of glue, one he'd considered a mistake 10 years before and stuck in a storage cabinet. When it was rediscovered a decade later, it hadn't dried up or broke down at all. “I was so surprised because it still had high viscosity,” Miyako said.

The chemist noticed that when dropped, the glue absorbed an impressive amount of dust from the floor. Miyako realized this material could be very useful for picking up pollen. He and his colleagues chose a drone and attached horsehairs to its smooth surface to imitate a bee's furry body. They coated those horsehairs in the glue, and then controlled the drones over flowers, where they would pick up the pollen from one flower and then deposit the pollen at another one, thus fertilizing it.

The scientists looked at the hairs under a scanning electron microscope and counted up the pollen grains attached to the surface and found that the drones whose horsehairs had been coated with the glue had about 10 times more pollen than those that had not been coated with the glue.

Mivako does not think such drones would replace bees altogether, but could simply help bees with their pollinating duties. There’s a lot of work to be done before that's a reality, however. Small drones will need to become more controllable and energy efficient, as well as smarter, with better GPS and artificial intelligence.

【1】What does the underlined word “viscosity” in Para.3 probably mean?

A.Hardness. B.Stickiness.

C.Flexibility. D.Purity.

【2】We can learn from the passage that .

A.bees disturb both agriculture and economy

B.scientists invented automatic robot insects

C.Miyako found the special feature of the glue accidently

D.bees in the United States are on the edge of extinction

【3】A drone works best in picking up pollen when ___

A.it is coated with the glue B.its body is made like a bee's

C.researchers control it precisely D.horsehairs with the glue are attached to it

【4】According to Eijiro Miyako, the drones____

A.are not yet ready for practical use B.may eventually replace bees in the future

C.are much more efficient than bee pollinators D.can provide a solution to economic depression

24、   A 2015 survey found that two out of three U.S. teens owned an iPhone. For this reason, I call them iGen, and as I explain in my new book “iGen: Why Today’s Super-Connected Kids are Growing up Less Rebellious(反叛的), More Tolerant, Less Happy-and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood,”【1】.

What makes iGen different? 【2】. They spend so much time on the internet, texting friends and on social media—in the large surveys I analyzed for the book, an average of about six hours per day—that they have less leisure time for everything else.

That includes what was once the favorite activity of most teens:【3】. Whether it’s going to parties, shopping at the mall, watching movies or aimlessly driving around, iGen teens are participating in these social activities at a significantly lower rate than previous generations.

【4】: In the annual Monitoring the Future survey, the percentage of high school seniors who read a nonrequired book or magazine nearly every day dropped from 60 percent in 1980 to only 16 percent in 2015.

This isn’t to say that iGen teens don’t have a lot going for them. 【5】 . They also seem to have a stronger work ethic and more realistic expectations than millennials(千禧一代) did at the same age.

To be clear, moderate smartphone and social media use—up to an hour a day—is not linked to mental health issues. However, most teens (and adults) are on their phones much more than that.

A.spending most of their free time on screens

B.hanging out with their friends

C.They would rather see their friends in person than communicate with them using their phones

D.Growing up with a smartphone has affected nearly every aspect of their lives

E.They are physically safer and more tolerant than previous generations were

F.They’re the first generation to spend their adolescence with a smartphone

G.In addition, iGen reads books, magazines and newspapers much less than previous generations did as teens
