21、A MAGICAL PLACE

Theme parks? I just love them. In a month or so, the UK’s finest will throw their gates open for the new season to thrill us with their engineered delights. As usual, I will be the first person inside. Yes, I may be a digital enthusiast, but to me there is nothing as irresistible or as thrilling as the full-on experience of spending a day in someone else’s imagination.

Dr. Carissa Baker, assistant professor in theme parks and storytelling at the University of Central Florida, argued in 2018 that theme parks are gatherers and tellers of stories. Their distinct narratives start before you enter the park, are played out in what you experience there, and continue after you’ve left. How do they do it? Some believe it’s down to creative direction and narrative system design. But I call it like I see it: they use all the psychological tricks in my social psychology textbooks to get us to feel and act in the way that the people behind the scenes foretell.

Everything in theme parks is manipulated(操纵). Everything is accounted for. Whereas in the digital world, designers infer what we feel, these theme parks digest these emotions. A famous example is Disneyland’s Main Street USA, which you walk down on first entering the park: the sets have been designed with forced perspective so the buildings appear taller and grander than they really are. Techniques like this are everywhere to be seen in the squares of Renaissance Italy and Georgian England to make the buildings seem bigger than they were. The mythical Main Street is made to feel larger and more impressive, which gets visitors excited when they enter the park—we are the hero of Disneyland’s narrative. Now that’s a powerful trick.

The digital world is nowhere near as magical as these places are. Yes, digital designers can create something out of nothing with mathematics and electricity, but their best attempts are only shortcuts in two-dimensional space. All they have in their toolboxes are sight and sound. But in theme parks, digital is out of place. Yes, behind the scenes there are data machines that are trying to track us to make our experiences better and more personal. Except for one or two notable examples, digital tech isn’t being used to enhance our time at the park in any practical way. It just gets in the way. And perhaps that is why I love theme parks. Because when I’m there, I want to be propelled(推动) by someone else’s vision, and give over to the feeling.

The next killer app isn’t on your device. It’s in the places that thrill us and compel us to keep our phones in our pockets so we can truly experience them.

【1】From the first paragraph we can conclude that ________.

A．engineers in the UK are full of imagination

B．the writer is enthusiastic about digital devices

C．the writer finds theme parks charming and exciting

D．it takes much imagination to guess visitors’ preferences

D．the psychological tricks they use make him feel manipulated

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．It is advisable to put down your phone and get a taste of what theme parks bring you.

B．Nowhere else can you find a place as magical as the digital world.

C．The huge constructions in theme parks are designed to appeal to more visitors.

D．Digital tech plays an irreplaceable role in keeping theme parks running smoothly.

【4】What does the article mainly talk about?

A．The distinct properties that theme parks and digital devices have.

B．The thrilling and irresistible experiences the writer has in theme parks.

C．Digital devices meant to create a magic world with simple techniques.

D．Clever techniques used by theme parks to make your visit memorable.

22、   It has long been known that several chemicals used in plastic toys can be harmful to human health. However, it is difficult for parents to figure out how to avoid plastic toys containing chemicals that may cause possible health risks to their children. For the most part, regulations and international lists of “chemicals of concern” in toys focus on certain substance groups with known harmful properties, but do not cover the wider range of chemicals found in plastic toys.

Researchers from DTU and the University of Michigan together with UN Environment have looked into this important issue, analyzed data on chemical functions and amounts found in plastic toys, and quantified related children exposure and potential health risks. “Out of 419 chemicals found in hard, soft and foam plastic materials used in children toys, we identified 126 substances that can potentially harm children’s health either via cancer or non-cancer effects. These substances should be avoided in toy materials and replaced with safer and more sustainable alternatives,” says Peter Fantke, Professor at DTU Management.

Many lists have existed that inform about “chemicals of concern” across product and material applications. However, what is currently missing is any information about the levels at which the use of chemicals in the different applications would be safe and sustainable. Peter Fantke explains, “Since the same chemicals can be found in different concentrations across toy materials, we have estimated the ‘maximum acceptable chemical content (MACC)’ for all the substances reported to be found in plastic toys. Such information will help toy companies to evaluate the amount of chemicals used for a specific function against such standards.”

For parents, it will continue to be difficult to avoid using plastic toys that can contain harmful chemicals, until regulators include all substances, and address exposure to toys. A good piece of advice from the researchers is hence to reduce the consumption of plastic materials in general, avoid the use of soft plastic toys, and remember to allow fresh air to enter and move around your children’s rooms well every day.

【1】What do we know about the harmful chemicals in toys?

A．They may lead to cancer.

B．The y add up to 419 kinds.

C．They exist in all plastic toys.

D．They’ve all been discovered.

【2】What is the current concern of researchers?

A．Toy companies are not responsible enough.

B．The use of chemicals are not safe and sustainable.

C．The safe level of chemicals used in toys is uncertain.

D．Practical measures haven’t been taken by the authority.

【3】How could parents do to deal with the issue of plastic toys?

A．Stop using plastic toys.

B．Guarantee fresh room air.

C．Address exposure to toys.

D．Do research on chemicals in toys.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the text?

A．Stop Purchasing Plastic Toys

B．Potentially Harmful Chemicals Found in Plastic Toys

C．Negative Impacts Plastic Toys Have on Children

D．How to Keep Your Children Healthy

23、   Recently, the phrase "hair loss" has been trending among young people in China. A recent report on overall health showed that hair loss ranked fifth among top health concerns, following bad skin conditions, depression and anxiety, poor sleep, and digestive tract(消化道)discomfort and illness.

But hair loss isn't just a concern for Chinese youth. It is an inconvenient reality for many people in China and the world over. According to a survey, 250 million Chinese people are troubled by hair loss, most of them between 20 and 40 years old. In the United States, about one in five people is suffering from hair loss.

There isn't really any single reason for hair loss. Humans naturally lose about 50 to 100 hairs each day, which usually regrow later. However, genetic and environmental factors can mean, for some people, these lost hairs won't regrow. In addition, certain factors can further worsen hair loss, including too much stress from work school, too little sleep, and a bad diet.

Is there anything you can do to protect your remaining hair? There are many products out there ready to help you keep a full head of hair. Shampoos, lotions, surgery, even laser-helmets say they can help. Hair loss treatments represent a $3. 6 billion industry in the United States alone. While many of these products make bold promises about their capabilities to restore your hair, the reality is that fixing your hair loss will ultimately depend on finding the specific causes.

If it is due to stress, lack of sleep, or poor nutrition, then a lifestyle change might not only stop hair loss, but also restart the growth of hair. For most young people who want to protect their receding(后移的)hairlines, it starts with their personal health. All they need to do is change unhealthy living habits and pay more attention to their psychological well-being.

【1】What can we learn about "hair loss" from the passage?

A.It is common among most people in China.

B.It is the top health concern for Chinese youth.

C.Only Chinese youth are suffering from hair loss.

D.It bothers people of different ages and countries

【2】What stops the regrowth of the lost hairs for some people?

A.Genetic and environmental factors.

B.Stress from work and school.

C.Too little sleep.

D.A bad diet.

【3】What's the author's attitude towards many hair loss treatments?

A.Critical. B.Objective.

C.Optimistic. D.Supportive.

【4】What's the author's suggestion to young people with hair loss?

A.To use hair-growth products.

B.To change unhealthy lifestyle.

C.To have a health check in hospital

D.To pay attention to physical well-being

24、One of the greatest mysteries in science is just how Earth went from a planet with minimal oxygen to the breathable air we have now. Scientists long figured that cyanobacteria (蓝细菌) were involved, but couldn’t tell what started the great oxygen-producing cycle.

A new study published in Monday’s Nature Geoscience may provide the key. It theorizes that Earth’s gradually lengthened day from six hours to the current 24 hours kick-starts cyanobacteria into producing lots of oxygen, making most of life as we know it possible. Here are the takeaways of the study.

About 2. 4 billion years ago, there was so little oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere that it could barely be measured, so no animal or plant could live. Instead, lots of bacteria breathed in CO2, and in the case of cyanobacteria, produced oxygen in the earliest form of photosynthesis (光合作用).

At first it wasn’t much. But in about 400 million years, as Earth’s rotation (旋转) gradually slowed down and the day was lengthened from six hours to the present 24 hours, the cyanobacteria breathed more and more oxygen into Earth’s atmosphere until it reached one-tenth the amount of oxygen we have now. The increased oxygen allowed plants to join in the oxygen-making party.

The authors of the study put their theory to test with the bacteria found on a 24-meter-deep seabed in Lake Huron. They exposed the smelly bacteria, which are very similar to the cyanobacteria living around 2. 4 billion years ago, to varying amounts of light, and found that the more continuous light the bacteria got, the more oxygen they produced.

“What makes the idea so convincing is that it doesn’t require any big biological changes in bacteria or the world’s oceans,” said Tim Lyons, a professor at the University of California, Riverside, who wasn’t part of the research team. “This may be a simple but plausible explanation for Earth’s oxygen increase.”

【1】What started the oxygen-producing cycle according to the new study?

A．Earth’s faster rotation.

B．The lengthened daytime.

C．The bacteria in Lake Huron.

D．The appearance of plants on Earth.

【2】What is the main purpose of the experiment?

A．To protect the cyanobacteria.

B．To study the similarities of the bacteria.

C．To provide evidence for the theory.

D．To improve the oxygen level on seabed.

【3】What does the underlined word “plausible” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Reasonable.

B．Sincere.

C．Complex.

D．Unacceptable.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．The Rotation of Earth Is Slowing Down

B．Cyanobacteria’s Role Has to Be Re-examined

C．A Breakthrough Is Achieved in Ocean Protection

D．Earth’s Slowing Rotation Increased Oxygen Production

26、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was the last day of the month-long summer camp. All the camp leaders and volunteers were preparing for the grand wrap-up event that evening. Some were setting up chairs and tables outside; some were preparing water balloons for games we would play later; and some were cutting fruits and veggies for snacks.

One of the leaders, George, came to me, handed me a small broom and a dustpan, and asked me to sweep the gym. Alone. While the others were chatting and laughing outside. While the gym was dusty and stuffy (不通风的) after weeks of camp and crafts.

I didn’t have a choice. I was sixteen, and George was my elder. I was a staff member at camp, and George was my employer. I put on as cheerful a face as I could and began to sweep the floor of the gymnasium.

Every time I made a decent (合宜的) pile of dust and scraps (残羹剩饭) to push into the dustpan, I had a nice little part of the gym cleared. But I would look up and see the rest of the gym and realize how big the job was. The whole situation felt so unfair.

I wasn’t really happy then. I’m not proud of it, but I was angry as well. I could hear the sounds of people talking, laughing, and generally having a great time outside. There was silence in the gym, except for my sweep, sweep, sweep.

During a break between sweeps, I looked up. George was quietly and matter-of-factly moving the speakers and cleaning the stage at the front of the gym. I noticed he worked alone as well. He didn’t seem particularly excited about what he was doing, but I noted the calmness and joy in his eyes as he went about his work, doing what had to be done because he was there and he was able to do it.
