21、AirTag, a small Bluetooth-and-GPS-enabled device, was released by Apple in April 2021. This small device aimed at making our lives easier was originally designed to end the trouble of losing keys, wallets or other little objects. However, it may become the “perfect” tracking tool if in the wrong hands. My ex-husband was an early adopter of the AirTag. He and I had a falling out, leading to a divorce battle. In order to win custody battle, he used the little device to track me.

As a tech giant, the Apple company brought great convenience to the users, including me. I had never given a thought to tracking via AirTag until it happened to me. So I started scanning stories about AirTag. I was surprised to find that I was not alone. There were so many people tracked by these seemingly innocent electronic tags in their daily life. AirTag which was originally launched for a better life should have such a dark side in the wrong hands.

People have found that the digital device has the potential for abuse. What matters is how to avoid its danger. Apple has released updates to the AirTag’s functionality very quickly since they hit the market. Meanwhile, Apple has also improved its customer service to deal with the bugs of this kind. If you find an unwanted AirTag following you, don’t panic. Just disable it. You can follow the prompts on your Apple device to learn more about disabling the device. Once you’ve completed the above step, the tag’s original owner can’t keep track of you any more.

Almost every digital technology creates security issues. Nobody can go and live in a cave to remain unaffected. While enjoying its convenience, you need to be aware of the risks it poses, and know how to deal with them. Prevention is more effective in security issues than fixes. After all, a stitch in time saves nine.

【1】What is the original function of AirTag?

A．To track one’s location secretly.

B．To help find one’s easily lost items.

C．To locate one’s phone accurately.

D．To ensure the safety of one’s phone.

【2】Why did the author scan stories about AirTag?

A．Her ex-husband tracked her via AirTag.

B．Many people suffered from security problem.

C．AirTag was a newly released electronic device.

D．She intended to know about its great convenience.

【3】What is advised to do when you are followed by an unwanted AirTag?

A．Have it updated.

B．Make it unable to work.

C．Pay no attention to it.

D．Contact its original owner.

【4】What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?

A．People should keep pace with the times.

B．People should use technology in a proper way.

C．People should handle potential digital risks actively.

D．People should bear the responsibility to fix the bugs bravely.

22、How to Study Without Burning Out

You’ve signed up for classes, you’ve learned your way around the virtual course system—and now, you have to make sure you survive all the way to graduation. Laptop or paper notes? And does music help while you are studying? 【1】

Get a planner and actually use it.

You’ll have a lot going on in college, and managing your time is an important skill to master. 【2】 Write everything down: your classes, your work shifts, assignments and meetings. Let your schedule help you find time to complete smaller tasks and keep track of bigger deadlines.

Don’t just put information into your brain.

【3】 When you reread and highlight, you’re only focused on getting information in, not doing any retrieving (回忆). Research shows that when we engage in the process of clearly retrieving, we actually organize concepts and create a better structure for what we’re understanding. So through the process of retrieving, we help make sense of what we’re trying to learn.

【4】

Students who lack sleep show many of the same symptoms as students diagnosed (诊断) with attention disorders. Emotional problems can also throw off a student’s focus and prevent learning. If you’re really sleepy or if you’re really struggling emotionally, there’s not a lot of motivation to get up and go to class or do your work or put the effort in what needs to be done.

Let go of the shame around mental health problems.

Mental health issues are continual among college students. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. One out of two Americans over their lifetime will have a diagnosable mental health disorder. They’re highly treatable. 【5】

A．Take care of yourself.

B．It’s not something to be scared about.

C．Think of learning as a two-way street.

D．Here’s what to do if you do feel crushed.

E．Use your planner to control your schedule.

F．And have you got ready for your graduation?

G．Work out to get rid of your mental problems.

23、   When you think of a national park, you generally picture fresh air and wild animals, right? Well, now you're going to have to add tea shops and something called "the Tube" to your definition, because London, England has signed up to be the first "National Park City."

London was established by the Romans around 2.000 years ago and has been continually inhabited (居住于) since then. In all that time, however, nobody had the idea to replace all the parks with big box stores or high buildings, which means London already has a much lower urban density (密度)than most of the worlds cities. Nowadays about a third of the city is green space,

In July 2019, London announced its willingness to become the world's first National Park City. Now the city is moving toward the goal of achieving 50% green space by the year 2050 by connecting and expanding public parks, greening up unused parking lots and the private yards of existing and new houses, fixing some green roofs on existing buildings and even cutting holes in fences for wildlife to pass through.

"Inspired by the aims and values of our precious rural national parks, the London National Park City is basically about making life better in the capital through both small everyday things and long-term strategic thinking." Daniel Raven-Ellison, who began the campaign to make London a National Park City six years ago said in a press release. "We’ ve been doing that in London for centuries, which is why London is so green and diverse.”

London will have a much easier job achieving this type of green transformation than more densely-urbanized cities like Paris and New York, which have 10% and 27% greenspace respectively. But that doesn't mean it's not possible--- the National Park City Foundation hopes to employ 25 more cities in addition to London by the year 2025. Glasgow. Scotland and Newcastle upon Tyne in northeast England are both currently considering becoming National Park Cities.

【1】What makes London more likely to become a national park city than other cities?

A.Its smaller population. B.Its less dense urbanization.

C.Its citizens' great support. D.The government's efforts.

【2】Where can we find the data on London's measures to achieve its goal?

A.In Paragraph 1. B.In Paragraph 2.

C.In Paragraph 3. D.In Paragraph 4.

【3】What is Daniel Raven-Ellison trying to talk about in the fourth paragraph?

A.The significance of London's campaign.

B.The effects of national parks on London.

C.The resources of London's green space.

D.The strategic thinking of London for long.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Trying to be a national park city is turning new trend.

B.National park cities are springing up around the world.

C.It is so easy for London to become a national park city.

D.National park cities are making improvements to our life.

24、Thompson’s Children

As her son Cameron sits at his laptop completing a task for his math degree course. Alison Thompson, a full-time mum is busy helping her daughter Emma (two years younger than Cameron) get dressed. While help has always been available for Emma, Alison and her husband also have to fight to get Cameron the support he needs."People could see that Emma has special needs but because Cameron was doing so well at school, his teachers never thought there was a problem with him, “says Alison.

It took Alison and her husband a while to realize their son was different. Cameron's ability didn’t become clear until he began primary school. Once he even corrected the teacher when she told the class that zero was the lowest number. Cameron told her she was wrong because there were negative numbers(负数). He was four at the time. Now 14-year-old Cameron is at secondary school, studying for a distance learning math degree with the Open University, having sailed through his GCSE at 11 and his A-level at 12, achieving top grades.

Bethany, another daughter of Alison, is bright too but not gifted. She is the one who will remind absent-minded Cameron to put on his coat. She also helps him out in social situations.

Emma attends a specialist school and the family is quick to celebrate her successes too.

“The other day she did up the buttons on her coat, which was real progress,” Alison says.

Late last year the Thompsons took part in a television documentary(纪录片) to prove that not all gifted children are the result of extremely ambitious parents. Gifted children need support too, but their lives don't have to be that different. Cameron is an example
