21、Jayson McCarthy, 12, was born without fingers on his left hand. That didn't stop him from being able to do many tasks. But Jayson could not grasp more than one object at a time. So Jayson 's father, Paul, created a Prosthesis(假肢), using a 3D printer. Now Jayson has fingers that open and close. “It was a do-it-yourself, father-and-son adventure,” says Paul.
When Jayson was a baby, his doctor advised his parents not to give him a prosthetic hand until he was in his early teens. “The doctor said Jayson should first learn to get full use out of the hand he was born with,” says Paul. As Jayson got older, his father looked into purchasing a prosthetic hand, which can cost as much as $30,000. Paul found a more affordable solution.
One day, Paul discovered a video on the Internet about Robohand, a prosthesis created with a 3D printer. He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohand's creators for advice. They told him all he needed was a 3D printer—which costs around $2,000—and some materials.
Luckily, Jayson 's school had recently purchased a 3D printer and it offered to help Paul build the hand for Jayson n. “We used a soccer shinguard(护胫), cardboard(硬纸板), and tape. They cost about $10,” says paul.
With his new hand, Jayson can do things better. “I can help my mom more, because now I can carry two grocery bags,” he says.
Jayson 's father has already built several hands for Jayson. Jayson helps design each one. He says there's one thing in particular that he wants to do with a future prosthesis. “The goal,” he says, “is to be able to tie my shoelaces(鞋带).”
【1】Why did Jayson 's doctor disapprove of(不赞成) his using a prosthesis in his childhood?
A.The prosthetic technology was underdeveloped then.
B.A prosthesis was very expensive at that time.
C.To use the disabled hand was important.
D.The original hand could do many tasks.
【2】Jayson 's father managed to get Jayson a new hand by ________.
A.collecting money on the Internet
B.buying a prosthetic hand
C.buying a 3D printer
D.printing a hand
【3】The underlined word in paragraph 2 can be replaced by ________.
A.buying B.borrowing
C.renting D.making
【4】What's the best title for the text?
A.A DIY Enthusiast B.A Helping Hand
C.A Great Adventure D.A Lucky Escape
22、If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening.
Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar(不熟悉) words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.
As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.
For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.
If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve quickly, and you can be a fluent English speaker one day.
【1】According to the writer, which should you improve first among the four skills?
A.Reading and listening.
B.Reading and writing
C.Writing and speaking.
D.Speaking and listening.
【2】To improve your reading, when you read you should ______.
A.look up all the new words in the dictionary
B.think about what you are reading actively

D.copy as many words and sentences as possible
【3】The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by “______”.
A.hear
B.discover
C.meet by accident
D.look for
【4】The passage is mainly about how to ______.
A.choose suitable listening materials

【5】The author seems to agree with the view that____.

23、Tips for Taking Online Classes
If you’re considering taking online college courses, the tips and advice below can help you address their unique challenges to get the most value out of your online program.
1. Hold yourself accountable
Without professors actively reminding you, it’s up to you to make sure you’ve set aside enough time to complete assigned work. If you’re having trouble holding yourself accountable, pair up with a fellow classmate. By being organized and self-aware, you can get the most from your online class.
2. Practice time management.
The flexibility to create your own schedule is often one of the biggest appeals of taking online classes. But that freedom can also be detrimental if you do not have solid time management skills. Without them, you might find yourself cramming before classes or handing in poor-quality assignments.
Make note of major assignments. Mark them on a calendar you check regularly so you know what workload is coming in the weeks ahead.
Create a weekly schedule that you follow, designating certain hours each week to reading, watching lectures, completing assignments, studying, and participating in forums.
When working on your assignments, try time-blocking, distributing yourself a certain amount of time for each task before moving on to the next one and setting a timer to keep you accountable.
3. Eliminate distractions
Regardless of where you choose to work, consider turning your cell phone off to avoid losing focus every time a text message or notification pops up. And if you’re still having trouble resisting the temptation to check your email or surf the web, try downloading a website blocker. Using applications like Cold Turkey and Freedom can help eliminate distractions by blocking the apps or websites that tend to complete for your attention, such as Facebook and Twitter.
Online classes are an excellent option to help you earn that degree you need to fulfill your goals such as job promotion. Though they come with their own unique challenges, following the advice above can help you be successful even in the most chaotic of times.
【1】Which of the following ways keeps you from holding yourself accountable?
A.Surfing websites that complete for your attention.
B.Writing down schedules regularly on a calender.
C.Setting a timer for the task being completed.
D.Finding a classmate for mutual supervision.
【2】How can you eliminate distractions when having online classes?
A.By ignoring notification that pops up. B.By downloading a website blocker.
C.By avoiding losing focus. D.By trying time-blocking.
【3】It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A.a website blocker is used for effectively filtering useless websites
B.making note of assignments helps you figure out what workload comes first
C.weekly schedule involves designating certain hours to different daily routines
D.time management skills help you optimize the flexibility to create your schedule
24、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
With all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps (处于沮丧中), as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart.
How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your comer store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy (礼貌) to speak to others that are around you.
I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?
Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to bypass the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.
【1】The author answers the question in the second paragraph with ________.
A. facts and descriptions B. examples and conclusion
C. evidence and argument D. stories and persuasion
【2】In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to ________.
A. encourage people to be humorous in daily life
B. talk about his own understanding of humor
C. introduce a practical way to get through daily life
D. convince people of the power of being optimistic about life
【3】What is the author' s attitude towards the present world?
A. Positive. B. Indifferent.
C. Satisfied. D. Critical.
