21、   When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn't understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.

So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.

Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional health, and crying seems to work well. One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.

Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendlier and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we’re very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.

Just as crying can be healthy, not crying - holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering - can be bad for physical health, Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural –and healthy-emotional response.

【1】Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?

A.The author doesn't give the explanation.

B.Because she did not love her grandmother.

C.Because she was too shy to cry at that time.

D.Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.

【2】It can inferred from the text that ______.

A.there are two ways to keep mental health.

B.crying does more good to health than laughing

C.crying and laughing play the same jobs.

D.emotional health has a close relationship to physical health.

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

A.Crying is the best way to get help from others.

B.Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.

C.We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.

D.We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.

【4】What might be the most suitable title for the text?

A.Power of Tears

22、With the cost of living on the rise, it’s become more important than ever to watch what we spend. If you use natural gas in your home, the bill can be quite high. Don’t worry, though! 【1】 . You won’t have to pay huge fuel bills.

Try to reduce energy use

The smaller the difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures, the less energy will be used. If your thermostat(调节器)is set to a high temperature， your gas bill is bound to be expensive. Lowering your thermostat a few degrees will reduce your bill by 5-10%. 【2】. Don’t keep the heat on when you’re at work or gone on the weekends. The energy saved will reduce the cost of your gas bill.

【3】

Warm air escapes our homes easily, so adding draught excluders(密封条)or a rolled-up towel to block these leaks will help. It’s also a good idea to equip your houses with double-glass windows. If it is too costly, it might be worth using some heavy curtains to stop the heat escaping. In addition, keep your blinds open during the day and closed at night. During the day, keep your blinds or curtains open to let the sunlight in. This will help your house warm up.【4】.

Do regular maintenance(维修)

Each year, you should service any gas appliance you have, such as a stove or a heater. You should also get your air pipes sealed by a professional.【5】. Proper maintenance work can prevent breakdowns in addition to lowering your gas bill.

A．Make changes around your home

B．Stop the flow of cold out of your houses

C．Also, turn off the heat when it is not necessary

D．When the sun sets, close all of them to keep the warm air in

E．There are several tips to make your home more energy-saving

F．That is why we are looking at ways to reduce our carbon footprint

G．Otherwise, warm air may escape through holes or breaks around them

23、Sylvester James Gates is the current president of the American Physical Society. He appears in a number of documentaries, and is the receiver of countless awards.

In looking back at his career, Gates credited MIT as his “intellectual birthing ground”. In fact, his path to MIT started at home. He still remembers that when he was a child, his father asked him and his three younger siblings a question: What college do you plan to attend? His father had spent his own childhood on a sugarcane farm, and then worked in the army for 27 years, never having had the opportunity to attend college himself.

“But he had an iron faith that education was the way to make progress for our family,” Gates said.

Gates first learned of MIT when he was 14. He was watching a television show, with a character who happened to be an MIT student. It left such an impression that Gates declared to his father that MIT was the college he wanted to attend. But as he recalled, “That dream almost never happened.”

He spent his high school years in Florida. He and his friends started a chess team. When they visited other high schools for matches, he saw the quality of everything, from the facilities, to the desks, and even the books — especially the books — was better than those at his own school.

This experience made him hesitate in applying to MIT. But his father, remembering Gates’ early declaration, insisted. When the acceptance letter came, it was his father who gave him the news, while sitting on the family’s rocking sofa. “He was energetically going back and forth, back and forth, and then he looked up and saw me, smiling the biggest smile,” Gates said. “And that was my introduction to MIT — that very personal welcoming from my father, who let me know that my dream could come true.”

【1】What do we know about Gates?

A．He is president of MIT.

B．He has got lots of honors.

C．His path to MIT began on farm.

D．His service in the army lasted 27 years.

【2】Which of the following can best describe the author’s father?

A．Insightful.

B．Picky.

C．Educated.

D．Hesitant.

【3】What made Gates apply to MIT?

A．The iron faith in high school career.

B．Father’s insistence on his early dream.

C．The experience of visiting high schools.

D．His communication with an MIT student.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A．It’s never too late to learn.

B．Knowledge makes one humble.

C．Making mistakes is part of learning.

D．Birth is much but education is more.

24、Microsoft has developed a new smartphone app that interprets eye signals and translates them into letters, allowing people with motor neurone disease to communicate with others from a phone.

The GazeSpeak app combines a smartphone’s camera with artificial intelligence to recognize eye movements in real time and convert them into letters, words and sentences. For people suffering from ALS（渐冻症）, also known as motor neurone disease, eye movement can be the only way they are able to communicate.

“Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS or other motor impairments are expensive, not robust under sunlight, and require frequent re-calibration and substantial, relatively immobile setups,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, a researcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.

“To mitigate the drawbacks…we created GazeSpeak, an eye-gesture communication system that runs on a smartphone, and is designed to be low-cost, robust, portable and easy to learn.”

The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker. A chart that can be stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make in order to communicate.

The sticker shows four grids of letters, which each correspond to a different eye movement. By looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids the letters they want belong to. The artificial intelligence algorithm is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say.

Zhang’s research, Smartphone-Based Gaze Gesture Communication for People with Motor Disabilities, is set to be presented at the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in May.

【1】What should people with motor neurone disease do when they communicate with other people?

A. They need speak to the smartphone loudly.

B. They have to predict the sentence they are trying to say.

C. They need choose a grid on the back of the smartphone with eye movements.

D. They should work out the artificial intelligence algorithm in the smartphone.

【2】How does the Gaza Speak app work?

A. The GazaSpeak app can hear what the speakers say.

B. The GazaSpeak app can convey speakers movements to the listeners’ smartphone.

C. The camera in the phone can record speakers’ gestures and predict what they want to say.

D. The artificial intelligent camera in the phone can recognize eye signals and translate them into words and sentences.

【3】Which of the following statement is true ?

A. DazaSpeak is designed for blind people.

B. GazaSpeak is low-cost, robust, portable and easy to learn.

C. Current eye-tracking input systems don’t need any re-calibration and setups.

D. Smartphones with GazaSpeak app have been popular among people with Motor Diseases
