21、The word “boycott” comes to English through Irish, which can be used as both a verb and a noun. As a verb, boycott means to refuse to do something as a form of protest (抗 议).People who boycott something are often looking for social, economic (经济的)or political change.【1】People stop using goods or services during a boycott until changes are made. 【2】 In the mid-1800s, a young man, Charles Boycott, worked as a land agent for the owner of a large country farm in Ireland. 【3】Later, the farmers demanded lower rents. Boycott refused, and even kicked some of them out of the farm. As a result, another man named Davitt came into conflict with Boycott.
In 1879,Davitt founded a group called the Land League,which sought to help poor farmers. He suggested to the farmers that they refuse to do business with Boycott.【4】 Since Boycott’s workers and servants refused to carry out his orders, the crops in his fields went bad. The community turned their back on the Boycott's family and they were forced to move.
At the end of 1880,some British newspapers began using Boycott’s name when reporting on a protest of unfair methods or actions.【5】By the late 1880s, The New York Times was reporting on boycotts. The word was generally used to describe labor protests against businesses. These days, consumers are able to use their buying power to boycott businesses they consider unfair.
A.The usage quickly spread.
B.In fact, it began with a man’s name.
C.This form of protest proved effective.
D.However, its original meaning is still unknown.
E.As a noun,the word boycott has a somewhat different meaning.
F.Otherwise,his last name may become a word people use when they protest.
G.Boycott’s job was to collect rents from the farmers who rented fields of the farm.
22、We have entered a new age of embedded, intuitive computing in which our homes, cars, stores, farms, and factories have the ability to think, sense, understand, and respond to our needs. It's not science fiction, but the dawn of a new age.
Most people might not realize it yet, but we are already feeling the impact of what’s known as the third wave of computing. In small but significant ways it is helping us live healthier and more secure lives. If you drive a 2014 Mercedes Benz, for example, an “intelligent” system tries to keep you from hitting a pedestrian. A farmer in Nigeria relies on weather sensors that communicate with his mobile device. Forgot your medicine? A new pill bottle from AdhereTech reminds you through text or automatic phone messages that it's time to take a pill.
Technology is being integrated into our natural behaviors, with real-time data connecting our physical and digital worlds. With this dramatic shift in our relationship to technology, companies can adapt their products and services.
To understand how revolutionary the third wave is, we ought to consider how far we have come. The first wave began when companies started to manage their operations through mainframe computer systems over 50 years ago. Then computing got “personal” in the 1980s and the 1990s with the Introduction of the PC(personal computer). For the most part, computing remained immobile and lacked contextual awareness.
In computing’s second wave, mobile computing and the smartphone took center stage. Billions of people, some of whom might not have had access to clean water, electricity, or even housing, were connected. Developers created applications and provided consumers with access to just about everything through their phone at the cost of a monthly data plan.
As the third wave keeps developing designers must meet the demands of consumers who want to experiment with new technology.
Historically, designers have focused their attention on a product’s form and function. While that sill matters of course, the definition of a meaningful user experience has expanded significant and will continue to do so. Instead of creating a single product, designers will need to imagine a series of connected products and services that have awareness of each other and their surroundings.
【1】Why are three examples given in Paragraph 2?
A.To tell us that human beings are smarter and smarter.
B.To illustrate the importance and necessity of technology.
C.To prove that we are living healthier and more secure lives.
D.To show the impact of the third wave of computing on our life.
【2】In the first wave of computing ________.
A.Companies’ operations were reliable on computer systems,
B.Computing had awareness of people’s needs in the context.
C.People could have access to computing almost everywhere.
D.It was possible for people to experience computing at home.
【3】Which of the following is a situation in the third wave of computing?
A.There’s no need to create a single product.
B.The definition of the user experience is more significant
C.Products and services are not independent of each other.
D.The products’ form and functions are no longer important.
【4】What can we conclude from the passage about the new age we are facing?
A.There’s a shift of attention from people’s physical worlds to their digital worlds.
B.There’s closer relationship between technology and people’s natural behaviours.
C.People live more happily with the convenience brought by advanced technology.
D.People become lazier with the products that can think and respond to their needs.

24、A new graph has revealed exactly how long you’11 need to sweat it out in the gym to neutralize (抵消) swallowing a favorite fast food.
While eating fried chicken, pizza and burgers will all entail a gym session of over an hour doing cardio(有氧运动)or lifting weights, women have it far harder than men and must work extra hard to banish calorie-packed meals.
After a classic McDonald's favorite, the Big Mac, men would need to do 42 minutes of cardio or 57 minutes of weightlifting.
As for women, fifty one minutes of cardio would help counter the 24 grams of fat in a Big Mac---over a quarter of the recommended daily allowance - --or an hour and eight minutes of weightlifting.
However, the 450g Tesco chocolate cake was by far the worst offender. Clocking in at a whopping 1,710 calories and 90 grams of fat, only a hardcore gym session is going to shift the calories you’ve absorbed from this dessert. The average woman would have to lift weights for almost four hours to work off the calories in this cake.
Comparatively a chocolate bar seems healthy, with 237 calories which would take 25 minutes for the average woman to run off. Alternatively you could spend thirty three minutes doing weightlifting exercises.
Men will have to complete 40 minutes of cardio and 53 minutes of weightlifting while women will have to complete 48 minutes of cardio and 64 minutes of weightlifting against the calories in French fries.
【1】The fat of the recommended daily allowance for women is _________grams.
A .18 B. 20 C. 24 D. 30
【2】According to the passage, __________is the unhealthiest food.

【3】Compared with men, women must spend ________to consume the calories in French fries.

B. 8 less minutes doing cardio
C. 8 more minutes lifting weights
D. 11 less minutes doing cardio
【4】The main purpose of the passage is to___________.
A. inform us to stay away from fast food
B. offer us advice on how to keep healthy
C. tell us some information about fast food
D.suggest what we do to work off the calories

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Becoming an Attractive Employee
The 2008 financial crisis created an unstable job market. Fast-forward to the present, and the economy has not fully recovered. Thus, it’s of vital importance for job seekers to carefully strategize their approach to job application. And it’s especially important for those new to the work force. They should look at making themselves as attractive as possible to employers.
For young people, information technology skills will play an increasing role in the future. As the generation to have grown up in the Information Age, they are quite confident when it comes to showing off their interests and skills in this field. This makes them a natural fit for companies seeking expertise(专业技能)in technology, marketing and networking. They should emphasize these skills when applying for jobs that require the ability to multitask.
Another attractive quality is experience. It is important that an applicant's resume list any activities that involved teamwork and goal-driven responsibilities. Membership in a sports or social club and participation as a volunteer are good examples of this. These activities involve goal management and planning along with the ability to focus while competing on a team. When hiring committees see this, they see a candidate who is capable of working in a variety of environments.
Finally, an attractive quality when job-hunting is a great attitude toward a potential job. Young job seekers are known to be overconfident because they have been praised for everything they have done. But they must realize that the employment market is about how an employee will be a good fit for a company, not the other way around.
In fact, in an interview, an important question to ask is: "What would be expected of me as an employee?" In today's tough job market, young job seekers need to provide a potential employer with good reasons to hire them.
