21、 Many Chinese people are confused with the two nations: one is known for its cheese and watches; the other for IKEA and Volvo.

The problem largely stems from the fact that both nation’s names are written similarly in Mandarin---Ruidian(Sweden) and Ruishi (Switzerland)------which begin with the same symbol, according to the Swedish Consul General Victoria Liu in China.

In an effort to put an end to the mix-up, the Swedish and Swiss governments have launched a competition on a website, asking Chinese people to come up with funny ways to help differentiate the two countries.  Submissions can be accepted as a blog post, cartoon, photo, short film or in any other format.

The winner with the best submission will receive a 12-day trip to Sweden and Switzerland and will be expected to report back on his/her impressions of both countries following the trip, the website states.  Entries will be accepted until November 20.

The organizers have also devised a humorous campaign logo with objects and people associated with Sweden and Switzerland on separate maps of each country.  Sweden’s map features meatballs, a Viking, as well as two male cartoon figures with a heart between them symbolizing gay marriage, which remains illegal in Switzerland.  Switzerland’s map features cheese, the Alps and a picture of Roger Federer.

China may not be the only country struggling to tell Sweden and Switzerland apart.  Residents of Spanish-speaking countries also fall victim to the confusion as Sweden is spelt “Suecia” in Spanish while Switzerland is called “Suiza”.

Sweden and Switzerland aren’t the only places that have caused confusion among people.  Last month, , a British holidaymaker hoped to explore the architecture of the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain, but instead mistakenly caught a flight across the Atlantic to the tropical Caribbean island of Grenada following a confusing booking blunder.  Earlier this summer, two US holidaymakers were flown to the wrong continent after an airline confused two airport codes.

【1】What can we learn about the competition launched by the two governments?

A. The winner of the competition will receive a 24-day trip altogether to both of the countries.

B. The winner will report his/her impressions on the two countries in his/her submission.

C. The competition is held among all people around the world.

D. The competition is held in order to stop people’s confusion about the two countries.

【2】Why does the author mention the British holidaymaker?

A. To show us many people are confused by Sweden and Switzerland.

B. To prove airports make mistakes about people’s places too.

C. To explain Spanish-speaking people make mistakes too.

D. To prove many people are confused about some places.

【3】In which part of a newspaper could you probably find the passage?

A. Tourism   B. News review   C. Business   D. Culture

【4】What does the underlined word “devised” mean?

A. Compared.   B. Collected. C. Invented.   D.Installed

22、Earlier this year the phone companies stopped supporting the software for my old 3G phone, so I was forced to buy a new Smart Phone. I didn’t use it much at first, only to get a call from my daughter or to play a game or two. Soon, however, I found it far easier to surf the web or check out Facebook on the smart phone than my computer. Even with my limited time I quickly found myself spending more and more of it on this phone. It happened almost without me noticing it.

Yesterday I was on it scrolling through the sea of stories, posts, news, and videos. Then suddenly a long and white nose pushed its way between me and my phone. It was my pet dog. I started to push it away but that only got me a lick(舔) from my cheek to my glasses. Laughing I put the phone down, took my glasses off and petted it. Soon we were hugging, and playing around down the hallways of my home. And I noticed something too. There was a feeling in my heart: a wonderful mixture of love, laughter, and joy. It was a feeling that I hadn’t gotten once during all that time I had spent on my phone.

Strange how it took a dog to remind me of what is important for our souls. Technology is here to stay. But we shouldn’t let it control us or our time. I vowed then to spend less time on my addictive phone and more time doing the important things in life like talking to my friends, writing letters, and even playing with my dogs. It is these that fill my heart With love.

b. A warm feeling rose from my heart.

B．Expected.

C．Refused.

D．Promised.

【4】What does the author want to convey in the text?

B．Making time for the important things.

23、When I was little, I always wanted a luxurious house. That was my idea to be successful. I took all the classes with full carefulness and tried to do well in the exams with my mind set on going to a key school. I just knew that I would somehow become famous and be able to afford the dream house. All the way through junior years, my mind was planning this wonderful future.

Then in the tenth grade, many losses changed my mind. First, one of my friends died at 16. Soon after, my great-grandmother passed away, followed by my beloved fourth-grade teacher. These events left me not knowing what to do or where to go. Death had never touched me so closely.

After a long period of emptiness, it finally struck me: Life is not promised and neither is future success. Though I was attempting to achieve material success, I was not enjoying my daily life. I realized that finding inner peace, purpose and happiness will stick with me forever and that is real success.

Enjoying life's precious quirks(偶发事件) makes an ordinary person more successful than a wealthy person who isn't content and takes everything for granted. The summer before senior years, my attitude changed greatly. Instead of memorizing facts, I began learning skills. Instead of focusing on the future, I focused on today and the many blessings and successes that came with it.

I still get excellent grades, but now I devote weeks to studying instead of struggling for exams, and I think about the future with a deeper sense of meaning. For me, being successful means truly living life each day.

【1】What’s the idea of success for the author at first?

A. Getting a great house   B. Taking classes carefully

C. Doing well in the exams   D. Being famous

【2】Why did the author change his idea to be successful?

A. His beloved teacher was dead

B. He lost a few beloved persons in a short time

C. He couldn’t afford a house

D. He didn't know how to fight for the house

【3】According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A. His teacher died before the death of his grandpa

B. He thought that life and success were not promised

C. He failed the exams after he changed his attitude

D. He didn’t want to achieve material success any longer

【4】What does the author wants to tell the readers?

A. Material success is unnecessary

B. He was glad that he changed his mind

C. Set goals and work hard to be successful

D. Cherish every moment and truly live life

24、How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track（跟踪） your performance on your phone.

The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.

The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don’t forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure you’re brushing long enough. “It’s kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.

The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for example, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “We try to make it smart and fun,” Serval says.

Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said “yes,” but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.

The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, from $99 to $199, and the U.S. is the first target market.

【1】All of the following statements are wrong except ____________.

A. It can track users’ school performance.

B. It can sense how users brush their teeth.

C. It can check users’ fear of seeing a dentist.

D. It can help users find their phones.

【2】What can we learn from Serval’s words in Paragraph 3?

A. You will find it enjoyable to see a dentist.

B. You should see your dentist on a day-to –day basis.

C. You’d like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.

D. You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist.

【3】What can we infer about Serval’s children?

A. They were unwilling to brush their teeth

B. They often failed to clean their toothbrushes.

C. They preferred to use a toothbrush with a dry head.

D. They liked brushing their teeth after Serval came home.

25、Sarah Ivermee is a mother from the UK who gave birth to her son Freddie back in 2011. _______, the little boy was born deaf in one ear and nearly deaf in the other.
