21、   Do you ever feel like you read too slowly? Is it hard to finish a book because you can’t focus? 【1】Whatever the case may be, if you want to be a high-efficient reader, you’ll need to learn how to focus and stick with the material. Here is my advice.

【2】 If you have trouble sitting still and concentrating on what you’re reading, make notes or write down a brief outline. Writing things down can be especially helpful if you find yourself reading the same few sentences over and over again without being able to continue. 【3】 You can also move your fingers along with the text to help keep your place in the book and guide you along.

Take short effective breaks. 【4】. Move around, get a snack, watch a little television or whatever helps you mentally pause. Set a time limit in advance and limit the number of rest breaks you take during a given period of time. Doing something physical can re-energize you and make it easier to return to reading.

Practice concentrating on the reading materials. In order to truly focus on concentrating, you need to do it a little every day. Find a time of day that works best for you to read and try to read a little each day at that time. Soon, it will become a habit. After a few days, you should notice some small improvements in your reading. Remember, don’t try to memorize every single detail when you’re reading. 【5】

A．Engage with what you’re reading.

B．Write down any questions you may come across.

C．Adjust your speed based on the information you’re reading.

D．That is too challenging, which will make it difficult to continue.

E．This is your chance to think about something other than what you’re reading.

F．Or maybe you’d like to get the important information faster while also speed reading.

G．Meanwhile, reading aloud or whispering contributes to your greater attention to your book.

22、One of the major reasons we take photos in the first place is to remember a moment long after it has passed: the birth of a baby, a reunion, etc. However, every time we snap a quick picture of something, we could in fact be harming our memory of it.

Linda Henkel, a professor of psychology at Fairfield University in Connecticut, studied how taking photos impacts experience and memory. She conducted an experiment using a group of undergraduates on a guided tour of the university’s Bellarmine Museum of Art. The students were asked to take photos of objects that they looked at on the tour and to simply observe others. Later, she tested their memory of all the objects they had seen on the tour. The results were clear. Overall, people remembered fewer of the objects they had photographed. They also couldn’t recall as many specific visual details of the photographed art, compared to the art they had merely observed.

“When you take a photo of something, you’re counting on the camera to remember for you,” Henkel said. “You don’t engage in any of the complex or emotional kinds of processing that really would help you remember those experiences, because you’ve outsourced it to your camera.”

Then, Henkel ran another study. This time when people took a tour of the museum, they were asked to take two kinds of photos: those of the objects in the exhibit alone and those with them standing next to the objects. It turns out that it actually changes their viewpoint on the experience, whether they’re in a photo or not. In other words, if you are in the image, you become more removed from the original moment as if you are an observer watching yourself doing something outside yourself. Interestingly, if you are not in the image, you remember more.

Henkel doesn’t disagree that the purpose of outsourcing our memory to devices can free up our brains to do other cognitive (认知的) processing. But from the experiments Henkel is sure that cameras can’t compare to what the brain is capable of with input from the eyes and the ears.

【1】What can we conclude from Henkel’s first experiment?

A．People take photos to remember a moment.

B．Taking photos is a complex or emotional process.

C．Taking photos influences experience and memory.

D．People observe more of the objects when taking photos.

【2】When you are in a photo, you ______.

A．return to the original moment

B．remember more about the object

C．change your viewpoint on the photo

D．become an observer outside yourself

【3】What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A．To explain the reasons why people take photos.

B．To introduce the disadvantages of taking photos.

C．To persuade people not to rely on photos for memory.

D．To express disapproval of the use of devices to free brains.

23、   It's said that in China millions of legal cases are now being decided by "internet courts" that do not require citizens to appear in court.

The "smart court" includes non-human judges powered by artificial intelligence, or AI. People seeking legal action can register their case on the internet. They can then take part in a digital court hearing. The system gives users the chance to communicate and receive court decisions by text or through major messaging services. Users completed more than 3.1 million legal activities through the court system from March to October in 2019, China's official Xinhua news agency reported.

China's first internet court was established in the eastern city of Hangzhou in 2017. Hangzhou is a center for major Chinese technology companies. Judicial officials recently invited reporters to the Hangzhou Internet Court to see how it operates. In one demonstration, citizens used video messaging to communicate with virtual, Al-powered judges.

"Does the defendant have any objection to the nature of the judicial block-chain （区块链） evidence submitted by the plaintiff 原告）?” a virtual judge asked during a pre-trial meeting. The non-human judge was represented in the system by an image of a man wearing a black robe. "No objection," the human plaintiff answered.

A Hangzhou court official told China's state-run CGTN television that the internet court system operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is designed to ease the workload of humans and improve the speed and effectiveness of the legal process. Court officials say that even though virtual judges are used, human judges observe the process and can make major rulings.

The internet court in Hangzhou only deals with cases involving legal disputes over digital matters. These include internet trade issues, copyright cases and disputes over online product sales. Digital court cases in China have seen a sharp increase in recent years, as the number of mobile payments and internet-based businesses has grown. The growth is tied to China's huge number of internet users --- about 850 million.

After establishing the court in Hangzhou, China launched similar operations in the cities of Beijing and Guangzhou.

【1】What can we infer about the internet court?

A.Human judges have played little role in the internet court.

B.Citizens can only place their cases on file on weekdays.

C.It will become a helper for the court system.

D.It has enjoyed great popularity all over China.

【2】How do people seeking legal action get court decisions according to Paragraph 2 ?

A.By Al-powered judges. B.By receiving text messages.

C.By attending a court hearing. D.By registering the cases on the internet.

【3】Why are there more digital court cases in China now?

A.Because there is a growing tendency in internet-based businesses.

B.Because it is efficient to deal with cases in the internet court.

C.Because legal disputes can only be handled in the internet court.

D.Because China has the perfect digital court system.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.The Future of the China's Justice. B.The Future Master of The Internet Court.

C.The Growth of Digital Court Cases. D.The Rise of China's "Internet Courts5.

24、Everyone has a phone in their pocket nowadays, but how often do we really use them for their original purpose — to make a call? Telephone culture is disappearing. What brought us to this moment, and what are its effects?

“No one picks up the phone anymore,” wrote Alex C. Madrigal on The Atlantic. “The reflex (习惯性动作) of answering — built so deeply into people who grew up in 20th-century telephonic culture — is gone.”

The shift is of course due in large part to more communication options: Texting with photos, videos, emojis, reaction Gifs, links and even voice messages can be a more attractive option.

Texting is light and fun, not nearly as demanding of your attention as a phone call. It can also be done with multiple people at the same time. Social media, email and video calls have also eaten away at traditional phone calls.

In recent years, another reason has caused people to ignore phone calls completely: robocalls. Robocalls are automated messages from organizations verifying (核实) your phone number or telemarketers trying to sell something. Americans received 22.8 billion robocalls halfway through 2020, equaling an annual rate of 45.6 billion, slightly below 2018 numbers, according to You-Mail, a robocall protection service and blocking app.

As telephone culture disappears, what is the loss of a singular family phone doing to the family unit? Early landline phones unified family members, whereas mobile phones isolate (使隔绝) them.

“The shared family phone served as an anchor (给以安全感的物品) for home,” said Luke Fernandez, a Weber State University computer-science professor and co-author of Bored, Lonely, Angry, Stupid: Feelings About Technology, From the Telegraph to Twitter. With smartphones, “we have gained mobility and privacy. But the value of the home has been diminished, as has its capacity to guide and monitor family behavior and perhaps bind families more closely together,” Femandez said.

Of course, as technology progresses, lives always change for better or for worse. With the loss of telephone culture, families will need to find other ways to unite.

【1】What has caused the traditional telephone to lose its appeal according to the text?

A．People’s addiction to social media.

B．People’s preference for robocalls.

C．People’s growing need for privacy.

D．People’s wide range of communication choices.

【2】What does the underlined word “diminished” in the last but one paragraph probably mean?

A．Reduced.

B．Strengthened.

C．Instructed.

D．Inherited.

【3】What does Luke Fernandez point out?

A．Smartphones tie families together.

B．The use of mobile phones has affected family bonds.

C．Smartphones help people monitor family behavior.

D．The value of home depends on how phones are used.

【4】What does the article mainly talk about?

A．The past and future of telephones.

B．The development of communication tools.

C．The downfall of traditional telephone culture.

D．The relation between phone use and family bonds.

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。

As the children of circus performers, my brother and I would spend nine months out of the year traveling around the country with our parents when we were young. While on the road, we lived in a 26-foot-long trailer (拖车), filled with various costumes that our parents wore in their performances.

Even though costumes were an important part of our everyday life, we had never had a Halloween party until we were about six or seven years old.

But our first Halloween was so extraordinary that, decades later, we still clearly remember every detail of it. And each time we look back at it, we still feel as happy as millionaires—in a different way.

On that day, our parents first introduced us to the holiday. By the evening, they stopped our trailer in a field to begin the trick-or-treat festivities. Of course, there were no doors around to knock on. However, the trailer had everything our parents needed to show us what Halloween was all about.

First, our parents dressed up like a young couple when they asked us to go around to knock on the trailer's back door. When my brother and I made our way to the back door, they quickly changed their costumes to become an old couple to greet us there.

All night long, our parents mixed up the costumes that they wore in the performances and pretended to be other people. They wore crazy hats and adopted strange accents to go along with each costume. We thought Dad was a Frenchman when he had the yellow jacket on.

And what treats did we receive? Everything our parents had in the cabinets (柜子)!

We kept playing until our parents ran out of things to give us. They were really unhappy when we finally got to the back door and they had to tell us “to go home because your parents are probably worried”.

注意∶

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

So we promised that we would go home as soon as possible. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

After we all got into the trailer, we started taking the treats out onto the floor. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
