21、   A study by Harvard researchers found that mind wandering, or daydreaming, consumes an average of 47% of peoples’ waking hours. This brings about the question：If mind wandering is so costly to our well-being, then why in the world are we so willing to spend nearly half of our lives in this mental state?

Creative thinkers know, despite what their parents, teachers and school leaders might have told them, that daydreaming is hardly a waste of time. But unfortunately, many students learn to suppress their natural instincts to dream and imagine-instead, they’re taught to fit into a standardized model and to learn by the book, in a way that may not feel natural and that very well may suppress their natural desire to create. But as two famous psychologists recently noted, “Not all minds who wander are lost”-in fact, the mind’s wandering is vital to imagination and creative thought.

Nearly 50 years ago, psychologist Jerome L. Singer established that daydreaming is a normal and indeed widespread aspect of human experience. He found that many people are “happy daydreamers” who enjoy their inner imagery and fantasy. According to Singer, these daydreamers “simply value and enjoy their private experiences, are willing to risk wasting a certain amount of time on them, but also can apparently use them for effective planning and for self-amusement during periods of routine task activity or boredom.”

Singer coined the term positive-constructive daydreaming to describe this type of mind wandering, which he distinguished from poor attention and anxious, obsessive fantasies. By making these important distinctions, Singer was able to highlight the positive, adaptive role that daydreaming can play in our daily lives, under the right circumstances.

【1】Who are aware that daydreaming is not a waste of time?

A．Teachers.

B．Parents.

C．School leaders.

D．Creative thinkers.

【2】According to the passage, daydreaming is very important to ______.

A．learning by the book

B．imagination and creation

C．suppression of inner desires

D．instincts and amusements

【3】What does the underlined word “them” in the third paragraph refer to?

A．Private experience.

B．Circumstances.

C．Fantasies.

D．Happy dreamers.

【4】What is true of positive-constructive daydreaming according to the passage?

A．It is a useful mental state.

B．It is similar to poor attention.

C．It is an anxious. obsessive fantasy.

D．It is a standardized model.

22、   For much of the past hundred years, classrooms have been designed with the teacher seated in front of desks for students. But many educators now say children can do better in a less structured environment.

Bob Pearlman works as an education consultant in the United States. He told The Associate Press that traditional classrooms are a thing of the past. Now students work in 'extended learning areas" that in elude project planning rooms, workrooms, and laboratories, as well as learning spaces for groups and individuals. Pearlman points to Albemarle County Public Schools, in Charlottesville, Virginia. The school system invited teams from all its schools to develop learning spaces that would help students deal with complex ideas and work on creative building projects. Now, its elementary school classes have exchanged traditional desks for things like soft seating and connectable tables.

Another change to the design of classrooms is the ability to connect to the Internet. " Classrooms, libraries, and laboratories used to be the only spaces where students spent their school hours. Wireless, laptops and project learning have changed that," Pearlman said. He noted that this has made all school spaces into possible extended learning areas.

David Thornburg, who wrote the book From the Campfire to the Holodeck, said Pearlman's concept catered to the students' need. He said schools should provide spaces based on how humans learn. That could mean one room is used in different ways at different times, or in different ways at the same time.

Earp is with Teacher magazine, a publication of the nonprofit Australia n Council for Educational Research. She noted that in the 1970s, American Robert Sommer, a psychologist, was urging a critical look at traditional classroom designs. Earp said that in addition to newer "freeform" classroom designs, some teachers could find good results with designs that combine new and old ideas. They could try lining up desks at the start of the year and then placing them in groups as the classroom relationships become clearer and project work begins.

【1】What change happened to Albemarle County Public Schools?

A.Classroom furniture. B.Learning materials.

C.Teaching Strategy. D.Studying time.

【2】What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.The new design. B.The existing classroom.

C.The application of the Internet. D.The limitation on learning spaces.

【3】What' s David' s attitude towards Pearl man' s classroom design?

A.Objective. B.Neutral.

C.Supportive. D.Disapproving.

【4】What’s the ideal classroom in Earp's eyes?

A.It should be designed by teachers.

B.It should provide freedom for students.

C.It should focus on comfortable learning environment.

D.It should be combined with both modern and conventional ideas.

【5】What's the passage mainly about?

A.Different opinions about classroom designs.

B.The considerations in classroom designing.

C.Shortcomings of traditional classrooms.

D.The ways to enlarge learning spaces.

23、Scientists from the University of East Anglia have identified four new man-made gases that are contributing to the damage to the ozone(臭氧) layer. Two of the gases are accumulating at a rate that is causing concern among researchers.

Worries over the growing ozone hole have seen the production of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) gases restricted since the mid 1980s. But the precise origin of these new, similar substances remains a mystery.

Lying in the atmosphere, the ozone layer plays a critical role in blocking harmful UV rays, which cause cancers in humans and reproductive problems in animals.

Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey were the first to discover a huge “hole” in the ozone over Antarctica in 1985. The evidence quickly pointed to CFC gases, which were invented in the 1920s, and were widely used in refrigeration. Extraordinarily, global action was rapidly agreed to deal with CFCs and the Montreal Protocol to limit these substances came into being in 1987. A total global ban on production came into force in 2010.

Now, the newly discovered four new gases can destroy ozone and are getting into the atmosphere from as yet unidentified sources. Three of the gases are CFCs and one is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), which can also damage ozone.

The research has shown that four gases were not around in the atmosphere at all until the 1960s, which suggests they are man-made. The scientists discovered the gases by analyzing polar snow pack. Air from this snow is a natural archive of what was in the atmosphere up to 100 years ago. There searchers also looked at modern air samples, collected at remote Cape Grim in Tasmania.

They estimate that about 74,000 tonnes of these gases have been released into the atmosphere. Two of the gases are accumulating at significant rates. However, they don’t know where the new gases are being released from and this should be investigated. Possible sources include chemicals for insecticide (杀虫剂)production and solvents (溶液) for cleaning electronic components. The three CFCs are being destroyed very slowly in :the atmosphere—so even if emissions (散发)were to stop immediately, they will still be around for many decades to come.

Of the four species identified, CFC-113a seems the most worrying as there is a very small but growing emission source somewhere, maybe from agricultural insecticides. We should find it and take it out of production.

【1】What do we know about the newly discovered gases?

A．Some are surely produced by the development of agriculture.

B．The CFCs will have a long impact once they are released.

C．They gather together in the atmosphere at a medium speed.

D．Their amounts are not large enough to cause damage to us.

【2】The underlined word “archive” in Paragraph 6 is closest to the meaning of “ ”.

A．state

B．resource

C．phenomenon

D．storeroom

【3】What will the scientists probably attempt to do about the gases next?

A．Find out what can replace things like insecticides and put them into use.

B．Find out how they destroy ozone and get rid of those in the atmosphere.

C．Find out where they are exactly from and stop them from being released.

D．Find out if HCFC is more harmful than CFCs and take proper measures.

25、   During the winter vacation,I was involved in an image-processing project. My task was to extract（提取）the shape of every cell from a(n)__ of microscope images. It seemed quite straightforward at first,but it turned out to be __.

Since I did not have any experience in image processing,I studied some basic ___on my own and started to use a very popular function library(函数库）called OpenCV. As the time was __,I just learnt to apply techniques without going into the mathematical rationale(原理）。As a result,I didn't complete the task in an efficient way and____lots of time.

Through this project,I got a good __ of the importance of studying the basic knowledge. I will probably ___to spend more time studying the theory before I ___another project.

Another challenge I met was about the brightness setting. When I sketched(勾勒）the __ of the cell by the computer,I first set the brightness value to 50,___that the computer could delete the dark places and extract the shape of the cell___. But it turned out that the standard didn't fit for every image. So 1____the brightness value to 30,but that didn't __ either. It was very hard to find a value that worked for all ____

From this,I began to appreciate human eyes. Our eyes ___the amount of light entering them automatically through a feedback system to achieve the best image representation,but computers are not that __. There is still so much that we don't know about the human body.
