21、   One of the major producers of athletic footwear, with 2002 sales of over $10 billion, is a company called Nike, with corporate headquarters (总部) in Beaverton, Oregon. Forbes magazine identified Nike's president, Philip Knight, as the 53rd-ichest man in the world in 2004. But Nike has not always been a large multimillion-dollar organization. In fact, Knight started the company by selling shoes from the back of his car at track meets,

In the late 1950s Philip Knight was a middle distance runner on the University of Oregon track team, coached by Bill Bowerman. One of the top track coaches in the U, S., Bowerman was also known for experimenting with the design of running shoes in an attempt to make them lighter and more shock-absorbent. After attending Oregon, Knight moved on to do graduate work at Stanford University; his MBA thesis was on marketing athletic shoes. Once he received his degree, Knight traveled to Japan to contact the Onitsuka Tiger Company, a manufacturer of athletic shoes. Knight convinced the company's officials of the potential for its product in the U. S. In 1963 he received his first shipment of Tiger shoes, 200 pairs in total.

In 1964, Knight and Bowerman contributed $500 each to form Blue Ribbon Sports, the predecessor of Nike. The first employees hired by Knight were former college athletes. The company did not have the money to hire “experts”, those knowledgeable in the field. In its early years the organization operated in an unconventional manner that characterized its creative approach to the industry. Communication was informal; people discussed ideas and issues in the hallways, on a run, or over a beer. There was little task differentiation. There were no job descriptions, rigid reporting systems, or detailed rules. The team spirit and shared values of the athletes on Bowerman's teams carried over and provided the basis for the style of management that characterized the early years of Nike.

【1】Which of the following statements is true?

A．Nike is the most popular athletic brand.

B．Nike developed from Blue Ribbon Sports.

C．Knight in the 53rd richest man in the world.

D．Knight was once a long-distance runner.

【2】Why did Knight travel to Japan?

A．To advertise his product.

B．To seek for financial support

C．To apply for the selling right.

D．To learn their management.

【3】What difficulty did Nike face in its early stage?

A．A lack of professionals.

B．A lack of creativity.

C．A lack of team spirits.

D．A tack of communication.

22、A MAGICAL PLACE

Theme parks? I just love them. In a month or so, the UK’s finest will throw their gates open for the new season to thrill us with their engineered delights. As usual, I will be the first person inside. Yes, I may be a digital enthusiast, but to me there is nothing as irresistible or as thrilling as the full-on experience of spending a day in someone else’s imagination.

Dr. Carissa Baker, assistant professor in theme parks and storytelling at the University of Central Florida, argued in 2018 that theme parks are gatherers and tellers of stories. Their distinct narratives start before you enter the park, are played out in what you experience there, and continue after you’ve left. How do they do it? Some believe it’s down to creative direction and narrative system design. But I call it like I see it: they use all the psychological tricks in my social psychology textbooks to get us to feel and act in the way that the people behind the scenes foretell.

Everything in theme parks is manipulated(操纵). Everything is accounted for. Whereas in the digital world, designers infer what we feel, these theme parks digest these emotions. A famous example is Disneyland’s Main Street USA, which you walk down on first entering the park: the sets have been designed with forced perspective so the buildings appear taller and grander than they really are. Techniques like this are everywhere to be seen in the squares of Renaissance Italy and Georgian England to make the buildings seem bigger than they were. The mythical Main Street is made to feel larger and more impressive, which gets visitors excited when they enter the park—we are the hero of Disneyland’s narrative. Now that’s a powerful trick.

The digital world is nowhere near as magical as these places are. Yes, digital designers can create something out of nothing with mathematics and electricity, but their best attempts are only shortcuts in two-dimensional space. All they have in their toolboxes are sight and sound. But in theme parks, digital is out of place. Yes, behind the scenes there are data machines that are trying to track us to make our experiences better and more personal. Except for one or two notable examples, digital tech isn’t being used to enhance our time at the park in any practical way. It just gets in the way. And perhaps that is why I love theme parks. Because when I’m there, I want to be propelled(推动) by someone else’s vision, and give over to the feeling.

The next killer app isn’t on your device. It’s in the places that thrill us and compel us to keep our phones in our pockets so we can truly experience them.

【1】From the first paragraph we can conclude that ________.

A．engineers in the UK are full of imagination

B．the writer is enthusiastic about digital devices

C．the writer finds theme parks charming and exciting

D．it takes much imagination to guess visitors’ preferences

【2】The writer fancies going to theme parks in that ________.

B．they provide a designed setting in which he is easily absorbed

C．the digital effect makes theme parks a wonderland full of magic

D．the psychological tricks they use make him feel manipulated

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．It is advisable to put down your phone and get a taste of what theme parks bring you.

B．Nowhere else can you find a place as magical as the digital world.

C．The huge constructions in theme parks are designed to appeal to more visitors.

D．Digital tech plays an irreplaceable role in keeping theme parks running smoothly.

【4】What does the article mainly talk about?

A．The distinct properties that theme parks and digital devices have.

B．The thrilling and irresistible experiences the writer has in theme parks.

C．Digital devices meant to create a magic world with simple techniques.

D．Clever techniques used by theme parks to make your visit memorable.

23、   Over a cup of iced tea at the midtown Radiance Tea House&Books,whose noise is not much louder than a coffee machine's,Gregory Scott Farber,a non-practicing lawyer who works as a research analyst, described SoundPrint he created as"Yelp for noise". SoundPrint allows users to search for and grade restaurants and bars according to their sound level. "laces are getting louder,"Farber said. "People tell me thirty or forty years ago you could go somewhere to eat and expect to have a conversation. "

Farber suffers from permanent hearing loss,caused by meningitis(脑脊膜炎)which he contracted when he was a baby. Like so many great inventions,Farber's invention arose from a desire to find love-or,at least,a place to have a date. "When I was dating,I put a lot of efforts into trying to pick quiet spots,"he said. "I'd google' quiet restaurants'. Then I would show up,but it would be noisy. " His hearing aid helped,but not enough. "Out of curiosity,I started taking decibel(分贝)measurements. "He sent a list of his favorite quiet places to friends in the hearing-loss community,and soon found many requests from his normal-hearing friends.

SoundPrint includes a sound-level meter,so diners and drinkers can take measurements using their smartphones,and upload data to the database. Farber said that the app brings no profit. SoundPrint covers about two thousand cities,though only fifteen have a significant number of users. Farber recently analyzed the data from 2,376 Manhattan restaurants and bars,and the findings are not good for ears. More than 70%of the former and 90%of the latter were rated as"loud"-defined as between 76 and 80 decibels,or as noisy as an air-conditioner.

【1】What does Gregory Scott Farber do for a living?

A.He sells hearing aids.

B.He develops computer programs.

C.He defends people in a court of law.

D.He makes a detailed analysis of data.

【2】Why did Farber create SoundPrint?

A.Because he wanted to earn more money.

B.Because he could hear nothing without a hearing aid.

C.Because he wanted to help his friends who suffer hearing loss.

D.Because he suffered hearing loss and wanted to find a quiet place for dating.

【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A.SoundPrint can be downloaded to user's phones.

B.SoundPrint can detect noise from air-conditioner.

C.SoundPrint is widely used in 2,000 American cities.

D.SoundPrints can analyze data from restaurants and bars

【4】The data collected by SoundPrint showed that ______in Manhattan.

A.restaurants are noisier than bars

B.a large majority of bars are noisy
