21、Do you know a native English speaker typically knows about 20, 000 words? If you’re learning English, how can you remember that number of words? 【1】

Make word association webs. Start with the word you want to remember in the middle of a piece of paper. Then draw lines from it like a spider's web. At the end of each line write down any ideas or words or even pictures that you think of about that word.【2】 The more you do this, the more connections you make. Lots of connections make it very easy for you to recall the word when you are trying to remember it.

Remember in word groups. Languages are tools for people to express their ideas and communicate. So, find examples of how each word is used in your text.【3】 For example, if your word is “arrogant, write something in word groups, like “the tall, arrogant man”. This will help you to remember that “arrogant” is an adjective and that it describes people.

【4】 Use roots, prefixes and suffixes to guess a word's meaning. Take “microbiology” as an example. First, look at the prefix “micro-” meaning very small and the suffix “-ology” meaning the study of something. Already you know part of this word's meaning is “the study of something small”. Now, you will probably remember “bio” means living things. Then, you can figure out that whole word's meaning—the study of very small living things.

Timing is everything. Using the new word immediately is the best way to learn it quickly and permanently. Use it 10 minutes later. Use it 1 hour later. Use it 1 day later. Use it 1 week later.【5】

A．Learn in small words.

B．Split the word into small parts.

C．There are several ways that actually work.

D．Here are some tips that should make your brain work faster.

E．After that, you'll rarely have to review—the new word is yours forever.

F．Write a few words before and after the word so that you remember how it is used.

G．You can also talk to yourself about how each word or idea fits together with the others.

22、   Doing business nowadays without a cellphone? Living a very private life? I can't imagine it anymore.

Journalist Chris Stokel-Walker explained it very well: For the average working person, there's no greater feeling than powering down your computer and kissing goodbye to your work emails for the day. If we're lucky enough to disconnect from the job on evenings and weekends, we're overjoyed to leave work emails and the stress that comes with it in the office.

But experts say we're increasingly failing to do so, instead bringing the burden home with us and dealing with emails during our free time. Unsurprisingly, this routine has some serious consequences.

Working abnormal or long hours has long been linked with depression（抑郁）, anxiety and even heart disease. In addition,  the importance of weekend recovery has also been linked with weekly job performance and personal initiative（主动性）. And further research showed psychological detachment（脱离）during off-work time reduced emotional exhaustion caused by high job demands and helped people stay engaged（投入的）.

So, if we know all this, it begs the question: Why are we still letting work invade（入侵）our precious weekends?

According to Cary Cooper, Professor of Organizational Psychology at Alliance Manchester Business School, the recent trend even spills into the way we access our work communications and projects.

Today, says Cooper, work emails are just a tap of a smartphone away. "You don't carry your laptop around when you' re out to dinner, but you do carry your mobile phone," he says. "The smartphone changed everything. In many cases, what is gained does not make up for what is lost." So delete your work email account from your inbox, and leave the worries until Monday.

【1】What did Chris Stokel-Walker try to stress?

A．The development of office work.

B．The importance of working hard.

C．The pleasure of completing work.

D．The power of modern technology.

【2】What does the underlined part "this routine" in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Using a cellphone.

B．Working in personal time.

C．Failing to work long hours.

D．Leaving work emails behind.

【3】What does Cary Cooper think of working extra hours?

A．It's necessary.

B．It's rewarding.

C．It isn't common.

D．It isn't worthwhile.

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A．Can We Live without a Cellphone?

B．What Should We Do on Weekends?

C．Should We Ban Weekend Work Emails?

D．Who Should be Blamed for Work Overload?

23、Travelling with friends can be an amazing experience where you could make lifelong memories or it could ruin your friendship. 【1】 Here are some rules you should follow to make sure your next trip with friends goes as smoothly as possible.

【2】 Sure, you and your friends probably have some similar interests, but that’s not always the case. In an effort to keep everyone happy, go over travel plans and expectations ahead of time. Have each person categorize activities or sights into “must-see”, “want to see” and “would go if we have time”. Plan accordingly and make sure everyone can see some of their top attractions.

Communicate and respect each other. Everyone has personal preferences when travelling— from getting the bed closest to the bathroom or sitting in the airplane’s window seat. But sometimes things don’t go as you like. In this case, share your requirements directly with your travel companions. 【3】 Have a conversation when problems arise, for communication is the key.

Don’t disappear. When travelling with a group — or even just one other person — you may want some alone time. That’s completely fine, but make sure your friends know where you are and have a way of contacting you. 【4】

Get off your phone. Of course, your friends will understand if you need to take a call from a family member, or in the event of a work emergency, but other than that, try to stay off your phone. 【5】 After all, the appeal of this type of trip is to spend time with friends. Just enjoy it!

A．Give each other some space.

B．Include at least one activity for everyone.

C．So it’s important to make sure you and your friend(s) are on the same page.

D．At the same time, listen to their concerns and be respectful of them.

E．Don’t respond to less important work contact or send messages frequently.

F．It’s especially true of travelling in foreign countries or unfamiliar places.

G．And remember that consideration and respect go a long way.

24、The Hope Diamond is one of the world’s most famous jewels. It was in the possession of a series of people: kings, bankers, rich women and thieves, before its arrival 60 years ago at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.

As a rare blue diamond, it has a complex social history, to be sure. But, far more so is its geological history, researchers say in a new report. This is the first time anyone has come up with a fact-based study or model for how blue diamonds form.

The group looked at 42 blue diamonds, including one from South Africa that recently sold for $25 million in 2016. Researchers could tell where the stones were formed based on the very small minerals trapped inside.

Diamonds are a hard, clear form of pure carbon called a crystal (结晶). They form under extreme heat and pressure. Blue diamonds crystallize alongside water-bearing minerals that long ago were part of the floor of the sea. But these minerals were pushed deeper underground during the movement of the Earth’s plates.

Scientists already knew these diamonds received their blue color from the element boron (硼). The study says that boron had once been in ocean water but was eventually pushed into the seafloor rock. Over millions of years, the boron continued to move deep underground.

Many diamonds appear colorless. Often, however, they have some yellow color. Still others have a light brown, pink or green color. About 99 percent of all diamonds form somewhere between 150 to 200 kilometers underground, a far shallower birthplace than their blue relations. “These diamonds are among the deepest ever found,” Carnegie Institution for Science geochemist Steven Shirey said of the blue diamonds.

The public can see the Hope Diamond at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C.

【1】By saying the underlined part in Paragraph 2, what do the researchers mean?

A．The blue diamond was formed in extreme weather.

B．The blue diamond has a very complex forming history.

C．The blue diamond has a far-reaching influence in society.

D．The blue diamond used to be very popular among rich people.

【2】How could researchers know the blue diamonds’ birthplaces?

A．By observing their colors.

B．By studying their structures.

C．By referring to where they were found.

D．By examining tiny substances in them.

【3】What is special about blue diamonds compared with diamonds of other colors?

A．They contain several colors.

B．They form in much deeper underground.

C．They come into being in a different way.

D．They are found near the earth’s surface.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．The social status of the Hope Diamond.

B．The discovery of the Hope Diamond.

C．The formation of the blue diamond.

D．The diversity of diamonds.
