21、A few years ago,a Finnish app took the mobile gaming world by storm. Its set-up was simple and its idea illogical: Angry Birds was little more than a shooting game, with birds instead of bullets and green pigs in place of targets. 【1】Shortly after Angry Birds took off, audiences found a new distraction in Fruit Ninja, a game where the object was to chop falling produce,and then Candy Crush.

【2】That was their charm, after all: They were knowingly ridiculous or illogical, an attack into mindless amusement. In games like Angry Birds, players found an escape from reality.

Fast forward to 2016, and there's now an Angry Birds movie, here to fill you in on all the details you never wished to know. The birds have been given personalities, motives and back-stories,and so have the evil green pigs. Meanwhile, the game's nonsense had to be made sense of due to a necessary plot for a movie. 【3】Hollywood has made an industry of answering the questions no one ever thought to ask; to the point of even giving a brand of toy blocks its own story in 2014's The Lego Movie.【4】 Viewers no longer have the luxury of imagining back-stories for their favorite characters, or debating the open-ended questions in a film's source materials:An endless flow of prequels(前传），sequels(续传）and spin-offs(衍生产品）fill in those blanks for them.

【5】 They'll know.Everything will be determined for them:According to the movie, the main bird Red gets picked on for his bushy eyebrows,and that leaves him feeling isolated and, well,angry.In some ways, Hollywood has taken on the role of fan fiction writers,by expanding and exploring every comer of its fictional universes. But when these universes expand too widely,what will be left to imagine?

A．Angry Birds is not alone in having its gray areas sketched in for the big screen.

B．In its efforts to feed the audience's curiosity, Hollywood may in fact be killing it.

C．Never mind that these games made absolutely no sense from a narrative viewpoint.

D．When children today play Angry Birds, they won't wonder why the birds are so ill-tempered.

E．It led the way for a number of other equally silly, equally addictive games to invade cell phones everywhere.

F．Lego,by putting forward education solutions, is now striving to help kids to stand up to a problem and solve it.

G．Hollywood is actually such a power featuring its creativity, imagination and efficiency in giving rise to its entertainment products.

22、For years, scientists and others concerned about climate change have been talking about the need for carbon capture and storage (CCS).

That is the term for removing carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) from, say, a coal-burning power plant’s smokestack and pumping it deep underground to keep it out of the atmosphere, where it would otherwise contribute to global warming.

However, currently, only one power plant in Canada captures and stores carbon on a commercial scale (and it has been having problems). Among the concerns about storage is that carbon dioxide in gaseous or liquid form that is pumped underground might escape back to the atmosphere. So storage sites would have to be monitored, potentially for decades or centuries.

But scientists at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University and other institutions have come up with a different way to store CO2 that might eliminate that problem. Their approach involves dissolving the gas with water and pumping the resulting mixture — soda water, essentially — down into certain kinds of rocks, where the CO2 reacts with the rock to form a mineral called calcite(方解石). By turning the gas into stone, scientists can lock it away permanently. Volcanic rocks called basalts(玄武岩) are excellent for this process, because they are rich in calcium, magnesium and iron, which react with CO2.

The project called CarbFix started in Iceland, 2012, when the scientists pumped about 250 tons of carbon dioxide, mixed with water, about 1,500 feet down into porous basalt. Early signs were encouraging: The scientists found that about 95 percent of the carbon dioxide was changed into calcite. And even more importantly, they wrote, the change happened relatively quickly — in less than two years.

“It’s beyond all our expectations,” said Edda Aradottir, who manages the project. Rapid change of the CO2 means that a project would probably have to be monitored for a far shorter time than a more conventional storage site.

There are still concerns about whether the technology will prove useful in the fight against global warming. For one thing, it would have to be scaled up enormously. For another, a lot of water is needed — 25 tons of it for every ton of CO2 — along with the right kind of rock.

But the researchers say that there is enough porous basaltic rock in Iceland, including in the ocean floors and along the margins of continents. And sitting a storage project in or near the ocean could potentially solve the water problem at the same time, as the researchers say seawater would work just fine.

【1】What can we learn about CCS in Paragraphs 2 and 3?

A. Scientists believe global warming will be avoided if CO2 is pumped underground.

B. It’s been a common practice in many plants to capture and store CO2 underground.

C. There is no guarantee that CO2 will not escape even if pumped underground.

D. It requires decades to turn CO2 into liquid form and be locked underground.

【2】What materials should be involved in the project CarbFix?

A. Water, CO2, soda water and basalts.

B. Water, CO2, a pump and basalts.

C. CO2, basalts, a pump and calcite.

D. Water, soda water, a pump and calcite.

【3】According to Edda Aradottir, the result of the project was beyond the researchers’ expectations, because ________.

A. it’s disappointing to discover new problems caused by rapid change

B. it’s exciting to sense the problem of storing CO2 likely to be solved

C. it’s puzzling to find the encouraging but unexpected result of the project

D. it’s amazing to see 95% of the carbon dioxide turn into calcite that fast

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To show the different ways to fight against CO2.

B. To praise the efforts of scientists in storing CO2.

C. To inform us of a breakthrough in storing CO2.

D. To urge people to produce the least possible CO2.

23、A university graduate described as a “respectable and intelligent” woman is seeking professional help after being convicted of （证明有……罪）shoplifting for the second time in six months.

Ana Luz, recently studying for her PhD, has been told she could end up behind bars unless she can control the desire to steal from shops.

Luz, who lives with her partner in Fitzwilliam Road, Cambridge, admitted stealing clothes worth ￡9.95 from John Lewis in Oxford Street, London, on March 9.

Phillip Lemoyne, prosecuting(起诉), said Luz selected some clothes from a display and took them to the ladies’ toilet in the store. When she came out again she was wearing one of the skirts she had selected, having taken off the anti-theft security alarms.

She was stopped and caught after leaving the store without paying, Mr. Lemoyne said.

He added that she was upset on her arrest and apologized for her actions.

Luz, 28, was said to have been convicted of shoplifting by Cambridge judges last October, but Morag Duff, defending, said she had never been in trouble with the police before that.

“She is ashamed and embarrassed but doesn’t really have any explanation why she did this,” Miss Duff said. “She didn’t intend to steal when she went into the store. She is at a loss to explain it. She is otherwise a very respectable and intelligent young lady. She went to her doctor and asked for advice because she wants to know if there is anything in particular that caused her to do this.” Judge David Azan fined Luz ￡50, and warned: “You’ve got a criminal record. If you carry on like this, you will end up in prison, which will ruin your bright future you may have.” Luz achieved a degree in design at university in her native Spain, went on to a famous university in Berlin, Germany for her master’s degree and is now studying for a PhD at Cambridge University, UK.

【1】What does the underlined sentence “She is at a loss to explain it” mean?

A．In her opinion it was a loss to the clothes shops where she stole things.

B．She doesn’t have any idea why she has the desire to steal from shops.

C．She thinks it is a loss for her to explain why she stole things from shops.

D．Personally she feels ashamed and embarrassed for her shoplifting actions.

【2】Which of the following best explains the meaning of the word “shoplifting” used in the passage?

A．Carrying goods in a lift for a shop.

B．Taking goods to the ladies’ toilet.

C．Selecting some goods from a display.

D．Taking goods from a shop without paying.

【3】From the passage we can learn that ________.

A．Ana Luz is already got her PhD at Cambridge University, UK

B．Ana Luz is ashamed and embarrassed and knows why she often did so

C．the university graduate will be put in prison if she steals in shops once more

D．Phillip Lemoyne is the “respectable and intelligent” woman’s defense lawyer

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A．Shoplifting Shame of a PhD Student

B．Apologizing for the Actions in Shops

C．Seeking Professional Help from Experts

D．Controlling the Desire to Steal from Shops
