21、   For centuries, people have been on the move, to follow a food supply, in search of a better climate, or just because we wanted to know what’s over that next hill. Since our destination is usually a little foggy, we can never be 100% certain; however, we can feel confident that our decision to move is based on clear objectives and not just because we think the grass might be greener.

In an attempt to cut overhead costs, companies, like people, are on the move. Company regrouping has resulted in more employees and their families moving to another state or even country. If you find yourself in this position, before you agree to move with your company, take a moment to reflect on where you are in your career and if this move will lead you to that next step.

If you’ve just retired and are looking for a sunny, warm place to move to, it’s a good idea to consider all your options. Make sure you have health care services and medical insurance, cost of living and so on, On the other hand, this is a great opportunity to have a more active life, meet new friends and travel. The best way to decide if moving is right for you is to try it for a long-term vacation - three to six months - which will give you a chance to see if a permanent move fits your new lifestyle.

lf you made a list of the activities you like to do, whether it’s cycling or dining out at unique restaurants, you may find that the area where you currently live does not allow you to pursue these passions. If you would like to live in a place that supports a lifestyle you’ve always wanted, then make your list, take a trip, then make it happen.

【1】Why are people unsure about moving to a new place?

A.They have been accustomed to the current life.

B.They have not a clear understanding of it.

C.The health care services there are not satisfactory.

【2】What should you do if your company will move to another city?

A.You should follow your company without hesitation.

B.You should give up your job to take care of your family.

C.You should reflect on the overhead cost ahead of time.

D.You should first weigh advantages and disadvantages.

【3】Which is best to determine if a new place agrees with you?

A.Your income and the cost of living in a new place.

B.Moving to a new place with your good friends.

22、   Waterbuurt is a residential(住宅的) development in Amsterdam, which consists of nearly 100 floating homes on Lake Eimer.

The floating homes are not ordinary houseboats but real floating houses. They only move with the changing tide(潮水). Designed by Dutch architect Marlies Rohmer, the houses have a basic design but are also comfortable. Although Waterbuurt is still a work in progress, there are some of the houses where there are already residents.

Two thirds of the Netherlands’ people live below sea-level, and with the flooding(发洪水) becoming a serious concern, there are many who believe that living on water in the European country is much safer than living on land. The prices of land homes in large city centers like Amsterdam has risen in recent years. But water is not that expensive.

“Moreover, houses in the cities have to stay there for 50 or 70 years,” Dutch architect Koen Olthuis said. “And as cities change, the only choice is to demolish these houses and build new ones. But floating buildings can be moved and adapted.”

The floating homes are built atop underwater platforms, and consists of a light steel frame(钢架) and wooden walls and paneling(嵌板). The bedrooms and bathroom are located on the lower floor, which is partially flooded. The kitchen and dining room are located on the higher ground floor, while the main living area and the outdoor terrace are on the top level.

All floating homes are designed with a lot of extras that buyers can choose, like floating terraces,a second entry, or a boardwalk around the house.

Waterbuurt is set to become the largest water settlement in the history of the Netherlands. Apart from floating houses, it will include floating parks and even floating high buildings. It is sure to meet even the most difficult buyers and win more acceptance from local people.

【1】What can we infer about the floating houses?

A．The prices are slightly lower.

B．They are free from flooding.

C．They are easy to take down.

D．The total completion is done.

【2】What does the underlined word “demolish” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Build.

B．Destroy.

C．Design.

D．Buy.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A．Waterbuurt can exist for 50 to 70 years in total.

B．Waterbuurt is very common in Amsterdam now.

C．People are unwilling to accept this new kind of house.

D．Floating houses have as many functions as traditional houses.

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards Waterbuurt?

A．Curious.

B．Optimistic.

C．Indifferent

D．Pessimistic.

23、   The jaguars(美洲豹) didn't bother me much during the day. Adonis, our local guide who was leading us deep into the Guatemalan jungle, guaranteed that we wouldn't come under attack from the jaguars. The most recent time he had seen one was more than a year ago. Last week, he had spotted some jaguar tracks, which was probably about as close to the animals as we would get, he said.

But his guarantee meant little that night as I cowered in my hammock(吊床) under the Central American stars. Now my mind turned every soft sound of waving leaves into a moving big cat full of murderous intent(probably to get back at the rude human who had interrupted its life.)And, if it wasn't a jaguar ready to attack, it was a poisonous snake, picking which of my bottoms to sink its long sharp tooth into.

Tiredness calmed my overactive imagination and I slept slightly. Next day, big surprise: no death by either snake bite or jaguar attack and injury. We packed up our stuff and continued toward our destination Mirador, the site of the tallest temple in the Mayan world.

Although we may have questioned why we had left a perfectly nice beach to come here, that night no doubts remained. Just before sunset we took our places at the top of the temple hill. A Mayan astrologer(占星家)had probably sat in the  same place 2,000 years before and improved his knowledge of the Milky Way.

Tonight, as with every night, spectacular pink shades marked the western skyline. The sky darkened and, one by one, the stars shone with a soft light into life.

【1】What did the guide think of the jaguars?

A.They were difficult to find. B.They were aggressive killers.

C.They were tough to deal with. D.They had close relations with man.

【2】What does the underlined word “cowered” in Paragraph 2 most nearly mean?

A.Shrank. B.Skipped.

C.Relaxed. D.Danced.

【3】What message is the author trying to convey in the last paragraph?

A.We should show respect to nature.

B.Traveling in the jungle can be dangerous.

C.The ecology problem requires urgent attention.

D.The universe is lasting while human life is short.

24、   British shoppers buy 2.15 million tons of clothing and shoes annually, yet UK citizens have an estimated €30 billion worth of unused clothing at the back of the wardrobe. But new technology could see the end of that, with the garments (衣服) themselves reminding the owners of their existence.

“Smart clothes” could help us clear out our wardrobes by sending messages or tweeting (发推文) us if they haven’t been worn for a good while. If these messages are ignored, the garments will get in touch with a clothing charity and ask to be reused, with an organization automatically sending out donation information. They could be programmed for a public sale where they are sold to whoever offers the highest price on eBay.

Academics at Birmingham City University are developing the connected “wardrobe” to encourage more suitable clothes consumption. The concept sees garments tagged (贴标签), using washable contactless technology.

Mark Brill, senior lecturer at the university, said, “Think of the surprise when an owner suddenly receives bids for items that they didn’t know were in their wardrobe.” “The connected wardrobe is a practical pleasant concept to encourage people to think about their clothing consumption. Finally, I hope it will encourage more appropriate fashion consumption,” he added. “Perhaps we can even move away from the idea of ‘ownership’ of clothing. When we’ve worn them enough, the items will pass themselves on to their next keeper. ”It follows in the footsteps of the “Internet of Things” —a concept that sees ordinary household items connecting to the Internet in order to share information. Now, the “Internet of Clothes” will see that neglected garments will tweet and text the owners, “asking” to be worn depending on the weather and frequency of wear. Clothes will keep track of other information, such as who owned them previously, as well as how much they originally cost, who made them and how much the worker was paid for them.

【1】What does the author say about “smart clothes”?

A．They may be donated on eBay.

B．They have gained in popularity.

C．They give warnings if worn out.

D．They may be recycled if long forgotten.

【2】How does Mark Brill find the “connected wardrobe”?

A．It helps people buy clothes at reasonable prices.

B．It changes people’s shopping habits.

C．It contributes to right consumption attitude.

D．It improves shoppers’ confidence.

【3】What is suggested in the last paragraph?

A．The Internet is a platform to share items.

B．Weather affects the connected wardrobe.

C．Clothes are sold online at a low price.

D．Clothes can be a source of information.

【4】What’s the author’s attitude to the new technology?

A．Critical.

B．Uninterested.

C．Approving.

D．Skeptical.
