21、Walt Disney World is banning selfie-sticks from its theme parks because selfie-sticks have become a growing safety concern for both our guests and cast," Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said.

Under a new policy, which takes effect Tuesday, the poles won’t make it past the bag check at any Disney World theme park. The sticks also won't be allowed in Disney World water parks or Disney Quest, a gaming attraction at Downtown Disney. Selfie-sticks will also become forbidden at Disneyland Resort in California on June 30. The prohibition begins at Disney's parks in Paris and Hong Kong on July 1.

Guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks' entrances. They will have an option of turning in their selfie-sticks for pick-up later or to go back to their cars or hotel rooms to keep them. Visitors will be told of the policy in locations such as the parking lots and at the resort's hotels. The prohibition will be added to the park rules post on Disney World's website.

The issue has been building at Disney. Previously, the sticks were prohibited from its rides, and "no selfie-sticks" signs were at select rides, such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom. Cast members have given oral warnings to rule breakers.

Selfie-stick users put smartphones and cameras on the ends of poles to extend their reach, frequently capturing theme-park moments through self-portraits. The tools have been banned in public places — including some museums and stadiums — worldwide for obstructing views or causing safety issues.

Disney World already prohibits items such as skateboards, inline skates, wagon, folding chairs and glass containers, according to its official website, which also lists “other items that we determine may be harmful.”

Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks and other loose items from certain thrill rides at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure theme parks, but it has not set park wide bans.

【1】Which of the following  objects has already been banned in Disney theme parks before the new policy takes effect?

A. smart phones    B. folding chairs

C. cameras     D. containers

【2】According to the ban, if the guests are found carrying selfie-sticks during the routine bagcheck, they may __________.

A. abandon them at the bag check

B. get fined and pick them up later

C. turn them in to the police

D. put them in the trunk of their cars

【3】The underlined word in the fifth paragraph probably means __________.

A. changing   B. broadening   C. blocking     D. narrowing

【4】According to the passage, it can be inferred that __________.

A. the ban on the use of selfie-sticks is aimed at ensuring security

B. previously guests can take photos with selfie-sticks on thrill rides

C. the staff in Disneyland will inform visitors of the ban only orally

D. Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks parkwide

22、In an era when many parents make efforts to ensure that boys and girls have equal opportunities, a recent study found that boys are paid twice as much allowance as girls for doing weekly chores.

An analysis of 10, 000 families across the US showed that boys earned an average of $13. 80 each week compared with $6. 71 earned by girls, according to BusyKid, a web platform that allows kids to receive, spend, or invest their allowance. “I think this is a wake-up call for parents to be cognizant (认识到) of what they are paying, to make sure they are being as fair as possible,” said Gregg Murset, CEO of BusyKid,

According to the analysis, boys averaged more allowance than girls because they were more often assigned chores considered more physically difficult, including cutting the grass. Girls, meanwhile, were more often paid for jobs such as loading the dishwasher. Boys also earned more money because they were paid for things girls were not paid for at all, including showering and brushing their teeth.

In Illinois, Vaishali Patel tries hard to teach her two children that gender should’t determine what chores they are assigned or what activities they choose. The parents don’t pay their children an allowance, and instead expect them to help with all jobs around the house. But Patel said the children still pick up on old-fashioned gender stereotypes (刻板印象) from elsewhere, like when they tell their son to try dance classes in addition to the sports he plays. “He’s like, ‘No way am I doing that’,” said Patel. “Some of that is really hard to influence.”

The stereotype can also be seen at Future Investor Clubs of America, a summer camp offered in many US cities to teach financial responsibility and wealth strategies to teens. In the past 21 years, it has consistently enrolled mostly boys, despite efforts by camp management to recruit girls.

Barbara Risman, a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, said that while Americans have come a long way in terms of offering more equal opportunities for men and women, changing mindsets (心态) permanently takes even more time.

The best way to counter the patterns, Risman added, is to think about and discuss the way we approach gender roles as often as possible. “You can’t change behavior you have never noticed,” she said.

【1】Why do boys receive more allowance than girls for doing weekly chores?

A．They are often assigned more chores than girls.

B．They are often given more difficult work.

C．They pay girls to do things for them.

D．They are willing to take on more chores.

【2】The author mentioned Future Investor Clubs of America mainly to show ________.

A．how gender stereotypes influence what people do

B．the efforts Americans have made for gender equality

C．it’s common for company to get girls admitted

D．the achievements Americans have made in changing stereotypes

【3】What did Risman suggest people do to fight gender stereotypes?

A．Give children more equal opportunities.

B．Discuss the gender gap with children more.

C．Assign children similar chores.

D．Give the problem more attention.

【4】What is consistent with Vaishali Patel’s thoughts?

A．There is no gender difference between kids.

B．Her son hasn’t been influenced by gender stereotypes at all.

C．To change a gender stereotype takes a long time and hard work.

D．It’s a good choice to pay children for doing chores.

23、Who is there among us that hasn't dreamed of having his or her own small ( maybe, several years later, even big) business, and having wonderful freedom, both from a boss and from the time clock: the freedom to make up our own rules for our work, and our own plans--arranging our own hours of work? That way work would be both painless and fun. Or, so we imagine.

Well, in fact it isn't quite as simple as that. Yes, it is true that being the boss has its satisfactions and that you can arrange your working hours freely if you own your own small business. But in those early years of starting your own business, you shouldn't think of a free day, not to mention flying off for a month's vacation. It is not unusual for new business owners to work seventy or eighty hours a week, and if there is a day off, that day might need to be devoted to accounting(算账).

But this negative picture doesn't destroy the beautiful hopes. The possibility of getting something wonderful in return--both material and mental--continues to drive that large number of people who start up small businesses each year in the United States.

【1】From the first paragraph, we know that everybody hopes_______.

A. to rule others   B. to be his or her own boss

C. to get a time clock   D. to be free from work

【2】Most new business owners have to_______.

A. work more than 10 hours a day

B. devote himself to accounting

C. fly to some places in the world

D. have a day off in a week

【3】The beautiful hopes will never be destroyed because_______.

A. people love beautiful things by nature

B. people have a strong desire to seek personal gains

C. small businesses make big money each year in the US

D. small businesses have advantages over big companies.

【4】Which is the main idea of the passage?

A. Many people have dreamed of having his or her own small business.

B. Being your own boss is painless and fun.

C. Business owners often work seventy or eighty hours a week.

D. Although being your own boss is not easy, many people are starting their own businesses to get something wonderful in return.

24、You can tell a lot about people’s general state of mind based on their social media feeds. Are they always tweeting about their biggest annoyances or posting pictures of particularly cute kitties? In a similar fashion, researchers are turning to Twitter for clues about the overall happiness of entire geographic communities.

What they’re finding is that regional variation in the use of common phrases produces predictions that don’t always reflect the local state of well being. But removing from their analyses just three specific terms — good, love and LOL — greatly improves the accuracy of the methods.

“We’re living in a crazy COVID-19 era. And now more than ever, we’re using social media to adapt to a new normal and reach out to the friends and family that we can’t meet face-to-face.” Kokil Jaidka studies computational linguistics at the National University of Singapore. “But our words aren’t useful just to understand what we, as individuals, think and feel. They’re also useful clues about the community we live in.”

One of the simpler methods that many scientists use to analyze the data involves correlating words with positive or negative emotions. But when those records are compared with phone surveys that assess regional well-being, Jaidka says, they don’t paint an accurate picture of the local zeitgeist (时代精神).

Being able to get an accurate read on the mood of the population is no laughing matter. “That’s particularly important now, in the time of COVID, where we’re expecting a mental health crisis and we’re already seeing in survey data the largest decrease in subjective well-being in 10 years at least, if not ever.”

To find out why, Jaidka and her team analyzed billions of tweets from around the United States. And they found that among the most frequently used terms on Twitter are LOL, love and good. And they actually throw the analysis off. Why the disconnect?

“Internet language is really a different beast than regular spoken language. We’ve adapted words from the English vocabulary to mean different things in different situations. ” says Jaidka. “Take, for example, LOL. I’ve tweeted the word LOL to express irony, annoyance and sometimes just pure surprise. When the methods for measuring LOL as a marker of happiness were created in the 1990s, it still meant laughing out loud.”

“There are plenty of terms that are less misleading,” says Jaidka. “Our models tell us that words like excited, fun, great, opportunity, interesting, fantastic and those are better words for measuring subjective well-being. ”

【1】The researchers turn to social media feeds to _________.

A．help with the analysis of people’s subjective well-being

B．locate the most-frequently used words

C．prove the disconnect between language and emotions

D．make the prediction method more effective

【2】How did Jaidka know the analysis wasn’t accurate?

A．It didn’t reflect the mood of the entire geographic community

B．It didn’t match the assessment result of the phone surveys.

C．It didn’t consider the features of Internet language.

D．It didn’t take the regional variations into account.

【3】Which of the following statements will Jaidka most probably agree with?

A．Face-to-face communication is needed to ensure happiness.

B．Internet use is to blame for the decrease in subjective well-being.

C．Internet language should be abandoned as a source of scientific analysis.

D．Less misleading words should be used in assessing subjective well-being.

【4】According to the article, which of the following terms would fail to measure subjective well-being?

A．Fun.

B．Great.

C．Good.

D．Interesting.

25、   Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are ______ —a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and ______ language, and throw new light on an old scientific ______: whether language, ______ with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a ______ behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the ______ work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D. C., the world’s only liberal arts university for deaf people.

When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something ______; among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher.

Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural ______, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the “hand ______” his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that language be ______ any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people ___________ their signing as “substandard”. Stokoe’s idea was academic heresy – a belief contrary to what was generally accepted.

It is 37 years later. Stokoe—now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture—is having lunch at a cafe near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a(n) ______. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages ______ English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of ______. “What I said,” Stokoe explains, “is that language is not mouth stuff(素材)—it’s ______ stuff.”
