21、No one knows for sure when advertising first started. It is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them. That led to the concept of specialization, which means that people would specialize, or focus on doing one specific job.

Let’s take a man we’ll call Mr. Fielder, for example. He did everything connected with farming. He planted seeds, tended the fields, and harvested and sold his crops. At the same time, he did many other jobs on the farm. However, he didn’t make the bricks for his house, cut his trees into boards, make the plows (犁), or any of other hundreds of things a farm needs. Instead, he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things.

Suppose there was another man we shall call Mr. Plowright. Using what he knew about farming and working with iron, Mr. Plowright invented a plow that made farming easier. Mr. Plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows. Perhaps, he thought, other farmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows.

How did Mr. Plowright let people know what he was doing? Why, he advertised, of course. First he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers. That sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door. It was probably all the information people needed to find Mr. Plowright and his really good plows.

Many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand years ago. Even before most people could read, they understood such signs. Shopkeepers would carve into stone, clay, or wood symbols for the products they had for sale.

A medium, in advertising talk, is the way you communicate your message. You might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols. The second medium was audio, or sound, although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today. Originally, just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument, such as a bell, were used to get people’s attention.

A crier, in the historical sense, is not someone who weeps easily. It is someone, probably a man, with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city. In ancient Egypt, shopkeepers might hire such a person to spread the news about their products. Often this earliest form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods. Perhaps the crier described the goods, explained where they came from, and praised their quality. His job was, in other words, not too different from a TV or radio commercial in today’s world.

【1】What probably led to the start of advertisement?

A. The discovery of iron.   B. The specialization of labor.

C. The appearance of new jobs.   D. The development of farming techniques.

【2】To advertise his plows, Mr. Plowright __________.

A. praised his plows in public   B. placed a sign outside the shop

C. hung an arrow pointing to the shop   D. showed his products to the customers

【3】The writer makes up the two stories of Mr. Fielder and Mr. Plowright in order to __________.

A. explain the origin of advertising   B. predict the future of advertising

C. expose problems in advertising   D. provide suggestions for advertising

【4】In ancient Egypt, a crier was probably someone who __________.

A. owned a ship   B. had the loudest voice

C. ran a shop selling goods to farmers   D. functioned like today’s TV or radio commercial

【5】The last two paragraphs are mainly about __________.

A. the history of advertising   B. the benefits of advertising

C. the early forms of advertising   D. the basic design of advertising

22、A different kind of food service app is allowing loyal customers to buy restaurant food at a low price before it goes into the waste bin.

Too Good To Go provides buyers with a bag of nearly wasted, but perfectly good food for takeaways as a way to cut back on food waste and help support the restaurant industry. Unlike other apps of a similar type that can allow customers to pick and choose which items they want to save, Too Good To Go offers only bags of whatever food the restaurants have. People will think it has a true enterprise spirit. The app is one of the several winners of Fast Company’s 2021 World Changing Ideas Award, which reports that 40% of the food in America is wasted.

It’s impossible to know how much food really will end up in landfills(垃圾处理厂)，but it’s possible to know how many meals Too Good To Go has prevented from going there. Originally sold only in a few selected American cities, 200,000 meals have been sold, and these meals can be thrown into the garbage in a few hours. And over 1, 500 restaurants have signed up in cities like New York, Boston, and Los Angeles. At present, 150,000 orders are going out the door per day in 15 countries, across a user base of around 37 million people, saving incredible food waste.

It is also easier for the restaurants to deal with the leftovers since it’s not likely to guess and predict what will be available at the end of any night. Decomposing food in landfills is a major source of methane, which can cause climate-related damage before completely decomposing after a decade.

“We think we can save more than 2 million meals from the trash in the U.S. in 2021, avoiding thousands of tons of emissions.”said Lucie Basch, co-founder of Too Good To Go.

【1】What is special about Too Good To Go?

A．It provides buyers with a bag of leftover food for free.

B．It allows customers to select whatever food they want.

C．It limits consumers’ choices to the food the restaurants have.

D．It is the only app winning 2021 World Changing Ideas Award.

【2】What can we do with the app installed?

A．Find out the categories of the food wasted most.

B．Figure out how much food will end up in landfills.

C．Predict what food will be available in the restaurants.

D．Prevent more meals being thrown into the garbage.

【3】What does the underlined word “Decomposing” probably mean in Paragraph 4?

A．Cutting down.

B．Breaking down.

C．Turning down.

D．Putting down.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A．An app reducing food waste

B．An app distributing optional food

C．An app causing climate-related damage

D．An app promoting a true enterprise spirit

23、   On August 28th, at a presentation over the Internet, Mr. Musk showed off the progress of his firm, Neuralink. The highlight was the appearance of Gertrude, a pig with a chip implanted (植入) into her brain.

Reading the brain’s electrical signals, a technique called electroencephalography (EEG), started over 100 years ago and is now routine. It generally involves placing non-invasive electrodes (非侵入式电极) on the scalp (头皮), though it sometimes requires the invasive insertion of wires into the scalp or the brain. Non-invasive EEG provides useful information, and can even be used to do things like playing computer games. Invasive EEG offers more accurate readings from the nerve cells in the brain, though at greater risk because of the surgery involved. The device Gertrude carries, known technically as a brain-computer interface (接口), carries invasiveness one stage further by making the EEG recorder a potentially permanent implant.

Along with this improved interface, Neuralink has built a robot that will implant it. To do so, the robot first takes a high-resolution scan of the recipient’s brain. Using this, it is able to sew the electrode threads into place with a precision that avoids any blood tubes in the area, which reduces the risk of damage during surgery. The robot can put the interface in place in less than an hour. General anesthesia (麻醉) is not needed for the procedure.

One challenge the firm wants to tackle is sending electrical signals into the brain. Mr. Musk says this will require a range of inputs including delicate stimulation and large amounts of currents. The point of doing so will be to establish two-way communications. This could allow entirely new areas of treatment to be explored. Besides epilepsy (癫痫) prevention, such brain stimulation might also work to treat depression. More important in the long run, it is also essential to Musk’s vision of widespread engagement between people and machines. This, he hopes, will result in a future where memories can be downloaded and stored elsewhere, and humans can form a relationship with AI that is mutually dependent and beneficial.

Not everyone is impressed. Critics worry that Neuralink is too secretive, and that Mr. Musk’s vision promises more than he can deliver. He does, though, have a record of doing what he says he is going to, despite the fact that sometimes not as rapidly as he says he will. He more or less single-handedly introduced battery-electric cars to the market and he built a successful space-rocket business out of nothing. Brains are a lot more complicated than cars, and even than rocket science. But do not bet against the coming into being at some point of the Musk vision of brains and computers working together directly.

【1】What can we learn about EEG?

A.EEG requires the insertion of electrodes.

B.Non-invasive EEG is superior in safety and speed.

C.Invasive EEG functions better in reading nerve cells.

D.EEG can be updated by using the brain-computer interface.

【2】In Paragraph 3, the author describes the implantation to show _______.

A.the advantages of using the robot

B.the simplicity of the procedure

C.the improvement of the interface

D.the possible risks of the surgery

【3】According to the text, _______.

A.Musk achieves more in brain study than in rocket science

B.brain stimulation is crucial for people-machine interaction

C.new methods of treatment have been researched and created

D.the firm has difficulty finding the right kind of input for brains

【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards Musk’s vision?

A.Positive. B.Negative.

C.Doubtful. D.Neutral.

24、USING YOUR SCORPIO COOKER: USEFUL HINTS

Follow these useful hints to obtain the best results when using your new SCORPIO cooker.

Choice of burner

Use a large burner to bring liquids to the boil quickly, and use a small one for stewed dishes and sauces.

To conserve gas, place the pan centrally over the burner and adjust the flame so that it does not extend past the edges of the pan.

Do not boil food too rapidly. A strong boil does not cook any faster but violently shakes up the food, which may then lose its taste.

flame too high — wastes gas flame not past edges of pan — conserves gas

Utensils

All normally available utensils (aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron, ceramic, etc.) may be used on your new gas cooker, but ensure that they are steady, in order to avoid dangerous spill-over of hot liquids.

Caution: Large Utensils

When a cooker is installed close to a worktop, ensure that whenever large utensils are used, they are placed so that they do not overhand the side of hotplate, as this may cause scorching or charring of the worktop surface.

Oven

There is a gradual change in temperature between the bottom and top of the oven. The first, or bottom, shelf position is the coolest and the fourth, or top, shelf position is the hottest. Because of the temperature change from one shelf position to another, it is possible to cook various dishes which require different temperatures, at the same time. As a rough guide, the temperature change from one shelf to the next is about ten degrees Celsius.

Some recipes do not refer directly to temperature but use descriptions such as “slow”, “moderate”, “hot” etc. when using such recipes, the following chart may be taken as a guide:

If preheating is required, allow time for the oven to reach the set temperature. The following table may be used as a guide:

Note that the oven light (where fitted) is located on the splash back.

Storage drawer (where fitted)

The storage drawer situated underneath the oven is designed for the storage of pans and utensils. Do not place plastic utensils or flammable material in this drawer. To remove the drawer, withdraw it to the fully open position. Then lift it dear of the stops. To refit the drawer, locate the nylon drawer slides on the slide tracks. Lift the drawer slightly to clear the stops, then slide it to the fully shut position.
