21、Mark Twain looked down upon those people who think it is possible for someone to learn how to write a novel. “A man who is not born with the novel-writing gift has troublesome time of it when he tries to build a novel”, he said.
But now new technology is making a difference to help an author write a novel. Michael Green, a US data scientist-turned-novelist, felt that technology could help him.
He said that the process had become difficult to manage: “In the midst of editing, I got to the point where I started feeling like I had a lot of plots and characters” he said “I had all these documents on the deeper aspects of the world I was creating. I was worried about not being able to keep track of it all. That is when I switched into my more data science-minded approach to solving a complex problem with a lot of different places.”
Green went on to create Lynit, a digital platform to help authors plan and weave together the many elements that form a story, such as the themes, characters and major events.
“As the author gets a new idea that they want to bring into the story they are able to input it into a natural framework,” he said “piece by piece they are adding to the story. As new ideas come in, they change, maybe by creating new nodes (节点) new relationships.”
Once the book has been published, technology is also playing an ever-increasing role in publicity and connecting with readers. Websites and APPs from specialist firms allow authors to participate in live-question-and-answer sessions with their audience. Michael Green believes technology will become even more important as a new generation of tech savvy (精通技术的) writers becomes more well known.
“What I’m finding with the Generation Z and even younger writers is that they are looking for technology to give them guidance,” he said, “They see it as a tool to learn and grow with rather than extra work.”
【1】What difficulty did Green face in writing his book?
A.He felt that he was not creative enough
B.He would reduce important plots
C.He had trouble organizing his thoughts.
D.He was afraid the characters wouldn’t attract readers
【2】What is an advantage of technology according to the text?
A.It creates new relationships for others
B.It can generate images based on words
C.It can translate thoughts into sentences
D.It brings authors closer to their readers
【3】Which of the following would Green most probably agree with?
A.Tech-savvy writers become known thanks to technology
B.Young writers rely too heavily on technology.
C.Technology should be prevented as extra work
D.New technology matters to growing young writers
【4】Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A.What Can We Learn from Mark Twain?
B.Can Technology Help Authors Write a Book?
C.How Can Authors Become Skilled in Technology?
D.Do We Really Need Technology as Our Guidance?

23、 Jerry Lawson had a love of science and invention from a very young age. And, with the support of his family and teachers, he took that love and helped change the world for billions of people, when he invented the modem video game cartridge.
Both of Jerry's parents supported his love of science and invention. His father, a longshoreman, was a science fan and encouraged Jerry to always experiment with things.

He earned an amateur ham radio license at age 13 and built his own radio station in his room, with an antenna hanging out of his window!

This was the first of its kind and enabled kids around the world to affordably play video games at home.

24、For centuries, audiences have been fascinated by the mysterious Mona Lisa, an oil painting by Italian artist, inventor, and writer Leonardo da Vinci. Permanently located in the Louvre Museum, it is estimated to be worth an impressive $800 million today.
The piece features a female figure seated in a room with her arms folded as she looks at the viewer and appears to softly smile. The halfhearted smile makes the painting all the more mysterious (神秘的), inspiring viewers to try to understand both the mood of Mona Lisa and the intention of its artist.
Her look is another fascinating part of the painting. Many believe that her eyes follow you across the room, making her actively involved when being viewed, rather than remaining an object to look upon. But according to German researchers, this" “Mona Lisa effect” actually does not occur in the painting. In fact, they claim that the woman is always look about 15 degrees to your right, so more likely at your ear than your eyes. Whatever the case—perceived or real—her expression is one of the strongest reasons for Mona Lisa’s lasting success.
In addition to its mysterious appearance, her expression has been quite in line with art historians for its possible symbolism (象征性), as many believe it to be a clever visual representation of the idea of happiness suggested by the word “gioconda” in Italian.
The technique Da Vinci used in the painting left behind no visible brush marks, something that was said to make any master painter lose heart. This piece of Renaissance (文艺复兴) artwork completely changed the techniques and style of painting, and is admired around the world as the greatest masterpiece of all time.

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。
Maria was practicing with her soccer mates in a tiny school yard. They were all from River Edge Rockers, a soccer team of their community. Suddenly, the ball flew into a deep hole at the edge of the yard. It was the third time that they had lost their ball this month. Without the ball Maria had to wave goodbye to her mates and went home, depressed. "If only there were a regulation soccer field!" she thought.
That evening, seeing her in low spirits, her father asked, "What was the matter, dear?"
“I was just thinking about playing in a brand new soccer field!" Maria answered.
Her father smiled and said, "Tomorrow, a Town Council meeting is to be held to discuss about the use of that vacant lot next to the pet store, Home for Pets. Why not take this opportunity to convince them we need a better field?"
The next day, with the company of her father, Maria and her teammates went to the meeting hall. On their arrival they saw Councilwoman Jill and some citizens already there. They took their seats. After Jill announced the start of the discussion, Maria stood up and spoke first. "Up till now there is no soccer field in our community, which certainly affects our physical health. Our team currently have to practice in a tiny school yard, and only when it's not already booked."
Mrs. Lorries, owner of the pet store, commented, "I couldn't agree more. Kids do need such a field." The Rockers applauded excitedly and the other citizens all agreed it would be a way out.
"A soccer field would be a good use for that lot with overgrown weeds and some large rocks, but to build such one would need a small sum of money and maybe you even need to do all the work on your own." Councilwoman Jill smiled, "Can you manage it?"
Thinking for a while, Maria nodded with a determined look on her face, "The Rockers can do it! We will turn it into a soccer field." The teammates all cheered.
