21、Parties and social gathering no longer excite us the same way they once did. This is not because of a lack of desire to socialize, but the mobile-phone.

At parties, more people are on their phones than on their drinks. According to a recent International Data Corporation Study, over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it as soon as they wake up, keeping it in hand all day. In addition, too many people in society are using smartphones while driving and as a result, they get into car crashes. 34 percent of teenagers admit sending messages while driving, and they agree that sending messages is their number one driving interruption. People’s addiction(沉溺) to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.

Just as drivers ignore the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the importance of human communication. When with their friends, some people aimlessly check or send messages in front of a friend, which sends a message to that friend: the person I am texting is more important than you. In addition, relying on our smartphones to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world. Face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.

As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a message or mindlessly check their messages, smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people. The quality of this technology is preventing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication. Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to communicate face to face, but it is also lowering society’s ability to communicate.

【1】 The purpose of the passage is to   .

A. call for an end to use the smartphone while driving

B. tell us to pay attention to communication skills

C. express a concern about the overuse of the smartphone

D. advise us to be careful about the addiction to face-to-face communication.

【2】The second paragraph is developed by .

A. giving examples B. time order.

C. comparing facts D. analyzing the effects

【3】The author advises us to make new friends   .

A. by using smartphones   B. in a face-to-face way

C. in different ways D. by writing letters.

【4】Over-dependence on the smartphone leads to the fact that   .

A. parties and gathering limit their social circle.

B. people are more and more easy-going.

C. people’s communication skills are weakened.

D. face-to-face communication becomes more and more dangerous.

22、My parents immigrated to the U.S. from Guangdong, a province in southern China. The jobs they found in hot kitchens and clothing factories came with long hours, leaving them no time to learn English. So I spent most of my childhood, in Brooklyn, speaking Cantonese, the only language my parents understand. But as I continued my education, I gradually, or deliberately avoided using Cantonese. And as a result, Cantonese avoided me. As it slips from my memory, I also lose my ability to communicate with my parents. For years I have to rely on translation apps and online dictionaries for most of our conversations.

Actually, we speak on the phone only once a week and the conversations are much the same: “Have you eaten yet?” my father asks in Cantonese. Long pause. “No, not yet. You?” I reply. “Why not? It’s so late, my mother cuts in. Long pause.” Remember to drink more water and wear a mask outside.” she continues. “OK. You too.” Longest pause. “We’ll stop bothering you, then.” At age thirty-two, I feel like someone they know instead of their daughter.

On my mom’s sixty-fourth birthday, at the peak of the pandemic, I became increasingly aware of the limited amount of time together. Did I really want to spend the rest of our lives with a language barrier between us? I made it a goal to relearn Cantonese, and, ultimately, rebuild the relationship with my parents. I take Cantonese classes. I watch Wong Kar-wai movies. I repeat Maggie Cheung’s words over and over until I get the tones just right. But, most of all, I call my parents and try to have more meaningful conversations with them, no matter how challenging it gets. Though Cantonese no longer feels natural for me to speak, it will always be my first language---even if it takes a lifetime for us to know each other.

【1】How does the author relearn Cantonese?

A．By asking her parents to teach her.

B．By using translation apps and dictionaries.

C．By reading Maggie Cheung’s books.

D．By taking classes and watching movies.

【2】What is the problem with the author and her parents?

A．They find nothing to communicate.

B．They speak different languages.

C．They grew up in different cultures.

D．They know too much about each other.

【3】What can we learn from the author’s experience?

A．Language matters in communication.

B．Cantonese counts more than English.

C．It’s never too late to learn a language.

D．Call your parents before it’s too late.

23、How many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! On a clear night you might see the Moon, some planets, and thousands of sparkling stars.

You can see even more with a telescope. You might see stars where you only saw dark space before. You might see that many stars look larger than others. You might see that some stars that look white are really red or blue. With bigger and bigger telescope you can see more and more objects in the sky. And you can see those objects in more and more detail.

But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see. We won’t see them with the biggest telescope in the world, on the clearest night of the year.

That’s because they’re invisible. They’re the mysterious dead stars called black holes.

You might find it hard to imagine that stars die. After all, our Sun is a star. Year after year we see it up in the sky, burning brightly, giving us heat and light. The Sun certainly doesn’t seem to be getting old or weak. But stars do burn out and die after billions of years.

As a star’s gases burn, they give off light and heat. But when the gas runs out, the star stops burning and begins to die.

As the star cools, the outer layers of the star pull in toward the center. The star squashes into a smaller and smaller ball. If the star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball called a black dwarf. If the star was very big, it keeps squashing inward until it’s packed together tighter than anything in the universe.

Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble. That’s how tightly this dead star, a black hole, is packed. What pulls the star in towards its center with such power? It’s the same force that pulls you down when you jump—the force called gravity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everything—even light. The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes. That’s why you see nothing but blackness.

So the next time you stare up at the night sky, remember: there’s more in the sky than meets the eyes! Scattered in the silent darkness are black holes—the great mystery of space.

【1】According to the article, what causes a star to die?

A．As its gases run out, it cools down.

B．It crashes into other stars.

C．It can only live for about a million years.

D．As it gets hotter and hotter, it explodes.

【2】Paragraph 6 and Paragraph 7 mainly tells us ______.

A．what a black hole is

B．why we can’t see black holes

C．black holes have enormous gravity

D．the formation of black holes

【3】What happens AFTER a star dies?

A．It burns up all of its gases.

B．It becomes invisible.

C．It falls to Earth.

D．It becomes brighter and easier to see.

【4】Why can’t you see light when you look at a black hole?

A．Most black holes are so far away.

B．Because the gravity of a black hole is so strong that it sucks the light inward.

C．Because as the star’s gases burn, it stops giving off heat and light.

D．Because as a star cools, its outer layers pull in toward its center.

24、Which do you like better: breakfast or lunch? 【1】 Brunch gets its name from the first two letters of breakfast (br-) and the last four letters of lunch (-unch).

【2】. They liked to go hunting. During the hunting break, they would enjoy a mid-morning meal that included meat, eggs and many other things.

Today, it is a meal eaten around late morning to early afternoon, usually on weekends. It might seem like a simple meal, but sometimes it raises breakfast to an artistic level. For example, ordinary pancakes might be changed to blueberry pancakes.

In Melbourne, brunch culture is also being welcomed. I decided to try it with my friend. We visited a cafe that is famous for its flower theme. 【3】

This theme is also shown in its food and drinks. The pink rose tea latte (拿铁) had real rose petals (花瓣) on top. 【4】 For the main course (主菜), I chose the soft-shell crab. The crab was placed in a bread bowl with some fried crab claws (爪) on the top.

The brunch greatly satisfied my appetite (食欲). 【5】

A．It tasted as sweet as it looked.

B．Lack of food is the main cause of brunch.

C．Well, with brunch you don’t have to choose!

D．Though I was full, I still wanted to have another one.

E．Rich British people are believed to have invented brunch.

F．Even if I was busy with work, I still spent enough time having breakfast.

G．There was a wall full of various types of fresh and colorful flowers.

25、When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could ______ tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he ______ in class.

When I took the first exam, I was ______ to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper, ______English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my ______ but remained unmoved.

I decided to try harder, although I didn’t know what that ______ because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I reasoned with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened ______ but wouldn’t change his mind.

One more test before the final exam. One more ______ to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time, ______ the meaning of the word “thorough (深入细致的)”. But my ______ did no good and everything went as before.

The last hurdle was the final. No matter what grade I got, it wouldn’t cancel C-pluses. I might as well kiss the ______ goodbye.

I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even ______ myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I’d have fun with a test.

A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne’s office. He ______ to be expecting me. “If I gave you the A-pluses you expected, you wouldn’t continue to work as hard.”

I stared at him,______ that his analysis and strategy were correct. I had worked my head off, as I had never done before.

I was speechless when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I ______ my scholarship. I’ve always remembered Professor Jayne’s lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence.
