21、In the Ancient Greek world, one was meant to focus on a close knowledge of just two books. Homer's Odyssey and his Iliad, because these were the best guides to action in military and civilian affairs. However, the modem world firmly equals the intelligent person with the well-read person.
Nowadays, if we do not rush to read four of this year's major prize winning books, we will feel guilty at how far behind we are. We think that there should be no limit to how much we read because in answer to the question of why we read, there is only one response that will ever be ambitious enough: we read in order to know everything.
But this tiring approach to reading does not make us particularly happy. So in order to case and simplify our lives, we might have a much more limited, focused and useful goal. We might, for example, read in order to learn to be content. Nothing less and nothing more.
With this new, far more targeted ambition in mind, much of the pressure to read constantly and randomly starts to fade. Once we know that we are reading to be content, we don't need to chase every book published this season. We can zero in on titles that best explain what we need. So for example, we may need a few key books that will teach us about how families work and how they might work better, that can take us through bow to find a job, or how to develop the courage to develop our opportunities.
The more we understand what reading is for us, the more we can enjoy close relationships with a few works only. The truly well-read person isn't the one who has read a huge number of books, but someone who has let themselves be deeply shaped by just a few, very will-chosen titles.
【1】Why are Homer's Odyssey and Iliad mentioned in the first paragraph?
A.To present a fact.
B.To explain a point.
C.To raise a question.
D.To make a comparison.
【2】What can we infer from paragraph 2 and 3?
A.Major prize winning books should be read.
B.We should be ambitious to read to know everything.
C.Reading as much as we can leads to happiness.
D.We should read with focused purpose.
【3】What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To promote our interest in reading.
B.To advocate a targeted reading way.
C.To criticize reading blindly.
D.To compare different reading styles.
22、At this very moment around the world, athletes are almost naked into freezing cold chambers. Why on earth are they doing this? Because it’s supposed to help them feel better.
The treatment is called whole-body cryotherapy. Basketball star LeBron James and soccer great Cristiano Ronaldo have all tried it. The therapy works like this. You take off everything but your underwear. Then you put on warm socks and gloves and step into a chamber that looks sort of like a shower, except your head pokes out the top. Once you’re locked in, air cooled to below-200 F(-129 C) fills the chamber. That’s colder than Antarctica. You stay in for two to three minutes.
Those in favor believe the frigid air helps muscles recover faster and reduces pain. After his first cryotherapy sessions, Phil Mac Kenzie, a professional rugby player, felt noticeably better. He told Scientific American, “I felt refreshed right away. My sleep was better.” Soon, he was using the chamber four times a week. Those who promote cryotherapy make all sorts of wild claims about its benefits. Supposedly, that frigid air can increase focus, improve skin tone, make you happier, burn calories, treat arthritis, slow aging, and much more.
Is there any evidence to back up these incredible claims? Nope. Several small scientific studies have looked at whether the therapy can improve muscle recovery after exercise, with encouraging results. But there just isn’t enough evidence to show that the therapy works. The benefits some people experience may just be the placebo effect. That’s when a patient’s expectation that a treatment will work leads to an improvement.
The US Food & Drug Administration has actually issued a warning about whole-body cryotherapy. It cautions that the liquid nitrogen used to cool the chamber may make it difficult to breathe. Frostbite is another potential risk, which is why participants wear gloves and socks. What do you think?
【1】Why should participants wear socks and gloves?
A.To prevent frostbite.
B.To look better.
C.To prevent shyness.
D.To ensure the effect.
【2】Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word in paragraph 2?
A.warm
B.hot
C.freezing
D.relaxing
【3】What’s the main idea of paragraph 3?
A.The process of the treatment.
B.The benefits of cryotherapy.
C.The working principles of the treatment.
D.Tips taken in account during the treatment.
【4】What’s the author’s attitude toward cryotherapy?
A.favorable
B.positive
C.unclear
D.doubtful
23、 When you are walking on the road, your phone ring invites you to check it. 【1】 After texting, your eyes remain glued to the screen, even though you are walking across the street.
【2】 This behavior has aroused debates among lawmakers about whether walking and texting should be illegal. Some cities, such as Honolulu and Rexburg, Idaho, have banned distracted (思想不集中的) walking altogether.
But we shouldn’t let that make us less worried. Last year, pedestrian (行人) deaths in the United States were at their highest point since 1990, with distracted drivers and bigger vehicles the chief culprits (肇事者). 【3】
“When you’re busy doing secondary tasks like texting, you don’t judge gap distances in traffic as well. You walk slower. You make poor decisions. 【4】 That is the main reason of some traffic accidents.” said Mr. Kolosh of the National Safety Council.
【5】 I talked to neuroscientists (神经学家) and psychologists about our conduct. All agreed that texting while walking might be a form of addictive behavior.
But this article isn’t about pointing fingers. Rather, now is a good time to reflect on why we are so glued to our phones, what we know about the risks and how we can take control of our personal technology rather than let it control us.
A.So why do we do it?
B.You type a message.
C.You’re not aware of your surroundings.
D.We don’t ever want to blame the drivers.
E.We all do this kind of distracted walking.
F.So being fixed on a screen while walking can’t be safe.
G.You put your phone in your bag instead of your pocket.
24、No one knows exactly when jazz was invented, or by whom. 【1】 Jazz was a new kind of music, for America and the world, and New Orleans was its birthplace.

After he became famous, he traveled around the world. It seemed that everyone wanted to hear Louis play. But life was not always easy, especially at the beginning.
Louis Armstrong was born in 1900 in New Orleans. His father never went to school and his mother could hardly read. When Louis was still a kid, his parents separated (分居), and Louis lived with his mother. 【4】 But Louis smiled through everything. He later wrote, “My whole life has been filled with happiness.
