21、 Kong Zi, also called Confucius (551-479B. C. ), and Socrates (苏格拉底) (469-399 B. C. ) lived only a hundred years apart, and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas, and how these ideas in turn, shaped their societies.
Neither philosopher lived in times of peace, though there were more wars in Greece than in China. The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical (激进的) than Confucius. Unlike Confucius, Socrates was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively. Thus, Socrates was able to be more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom, and knowledge for its own sake. Confucius, on the other hand, advised those in government service, and many of his students went out to government service.
Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life: “Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you.” He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some had more potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socrates focused on the individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom.
For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of the society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations.
Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.
【1】Which of the following is TURE according to the first paragraph?
A.Socrates and Confucius had much in common.
B.Confucius had much influence on Socrates’ ideas.
C.The societies were influenced by the philosophers’ideas.
D.There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece.
【2】What made some people different from others according to Confucius?
A.Family. B.Potential.
C.Knowledge. D.Community.
【3】This passage is organized in the pattern of ________.
A.time and events B.comparison and contrast
C.cause and effect D.definition and classification

23、There is no such thing as a “bad memory”, and everyone can improve their memory, as long as you are not suffering from memory loss as medical condition. 【1】
Stop thinking that you have a “bad memory”. Convince yourself that you do a good memory that will improve. Too many people get stuck here and convince themselves their memory is bad, that they are just no good with names and that numbers just slip out of their minds for some reason. 【2】
Use association to remember facts. 【3】 For example, if you have a hard time remembering that JFK was the president involved in the Bay of Pigs Invasion, just picture the handsome president swimming in an ocean surrounded by happy, oinking pigs.
Involve multiple senses. You can stimulate (刺激) more parts of your brain by using as many senses as possible when memorizing information. 【4】 For example, the process of writing information by hand stimulates your brain and makes it easier to remember the information later.
【5】 By developing new mental skills — especially complex ones such as learning a new language or learning to play a new musical instrument — and challenging your brain with puzzles and games, you can keep your brain active and improve its physiological function.
A.Exercise your brain as often as possible.
B.Give yourself some time to form a memory.

24、Russia has a history of beating the U.S. into space, and along with being the first to send a dog, man, and woman into space, they just became the fist nation to send an actress an film crew up there.
Scheduled for two weeks of filming aboard the International Space Station (SS), actress Yulia Peresild and director Klim Shipenko became the first humans to film part of a full-length film in space, beating out poor old Tom Cruise, who since 2020 had made his intentions to film a movie aboard the ISS clear enough to NASA.
The Challenge will be a big-budget Russian film based on the story of a top surgeon (Peresild) who is called upon to enter the Russian-module of the ISS for an emergency procedure. While many films certainly feature space, it will be the first full-length fiction to be filmed on the ISS.
A Soyuz rocket departed the Earth at 4:5S a.m.on October 5th,and arrived three hours later carrying Ms. Peresild, Mr. Shipenko and their experienced astronautical guide, Anton Shkaplerov. “It is almost impossible to believe that this ll came to reality,” said Peresild, opening the hatch (舱门) and floating into the space laboratory. The pair will gather around 35 minutes of footage (画面) before departing on the 17th of October, leaving Shkaplerov behind to work.
In September 2020, it was announced that Cruise and Director Doug Liman had booked a flight on a SpaceX rocket headed for the ISS in October 2021. Ever eager for a space-race, Russian Channel One and a film studio called Yellow, Black, and White jointly announced with the Russian space agency Roscosmos their own plans for a space movie.
While Peresild and Shipenko will be set to come down soon, Cruise’s October launch plans are still up in the air. If Tom Cruise needs a bright side to look on, it’s that the last time Russia and the U.S. had a first-to space race, Russia got into space first, but the U.S. got to the Moon.
【1】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Russia will control the ISS instead of NASA.
B.Russia has a long history of sending humans into space.
C.Russia became the number one in space travel.
D.Russia won the competition against America to film in space.
【2】What can we learn about the space ravel?
A.The rocket arrived before 7 a.m. on October 5th.
B.Anton Shkaplerov is an experienced tourist guide.
C.Peresild refused to admit the dream could come true.
D.Peresild and Shipenko stayed in space for about 12 days.
【3】What does the underlined phrase “up in the air” mean in the last paragraph?
A.Announced.
B.Unsettled.
C.Excited.
D.Checked.
