21、   I’m originally from Orange County, California, where I had the pleasure and honor of serving as a Newport Beach ocean lifeguard. Whenever I could, I got shifts working the Point. The Point was known for its massive rip currents(退潮流).

So, late in a shift, I was working Tower 15. Two blocks to my right was another guard named Mike, working Tower 17. He called me, “Hey, I got a couple of kids. I gotta go and give them a warning. Keep an eye on us.” I said, “Sure.”

And sure enough, as soon as he hung up the phone and grabbed his buoy(航标), a rip was snapped up under these two kids, and they were getting sucked out. All I saw was two small noses bobbing in the water. Mike was dashing toward the ocean.

By now, the mother of the two kids realized what was happening. She was screaming. I started rushing toward her, but before I was even halfway there, Mike reached the kids.

Mike swam sideways out of the rip current into the clear water and started bringing them in. When I reached their mother, Mike was in waist-deep water. The kids were so exhausted, so Mike was carrying them, one under each arm.

I turned to their mom, “Hey, it’s OK. They’re safe.” I saw her terror start to fade.

She glanced back and got her first good look at Mike. He had a number of really scary tattoos( 纹身), and his shaved head showed the scar he got from a broken beer bottle.Then a crazy thing happened. I saw a new kind of panic wash over her as though there was some new, equally dangerous threat on her kids’ lives. She rushed up to Mike and snatched her kids. Not even a thank-you.

Mike just glanced at me, shrugged, and jogged back to his tower.

If any other guard had worked at that night, including me, there would be a very real chance that that mother wasn’t going home with both her kids.

【1】Which of the following words can best describe “ Mike’s reaction to the two kids in danger” ?

A.Rude and aggressive. B.Quick and brave.

C.Careless and risky. D.Slow and cautious.

【2】Why didn’t the woman say “ thank you” to Mike?

A.He was rude to her kids.

B.She was too exhausted to say any words.

C.He got tired of being highly thought of.

D.He looked like a threatening guy with tattoos and scars.

【3】What information does the author want to convey in the story?

A.Be a friendly and easy-going lifeguard.

B.Watch out for your kids playing on the beach.

C.Don’t let fear or prejudice prevent you recognizing a hero.

D.Never judge a hero by his way of rescuing.

22、   Researchers have succeeded in making an Al understand our subjective concept what makes faces attractive. The device(设备)showed this knowledge by its ability to create new photos on its own that were tailored to be found personally attractive to individuals(个人). The results can he used, for example, in modelling preferences and decision-making as well as potentially identifying unconscious attitudes.

Researchers at the University of Helsinki and University of Copenhagen tried to find out whether a computer would be able to identify the facial features we consider attractive and, based on this, create new images matching our criteria. The researchers used artificial intelligence to interpret brain signals and combined the resulting brain-computer interface with productive model of artificial faces. This enabled the computer to create facial images that appealed to individual preferences.

“In our previous studies, we designed models that could identify and control simple photo features, such as hair colour and emotion. However, people largely agree on who is blond and who smiles. Attractiveness is a more challenging subject of study, as it is associated with cultural and psychological factors that likely play unconscious roles in our individual preferences. Indeed, we often find it very hard to explain what it is exactly that makes something, or someone, beautiful”, says Senior Researcher and Docent Michiel Spape from the Department of Psychology and Logopedics, University of Helsinki.

“If this is possible in something that is as personal and subjective as attractiveness, we may also be able to look into other cognitive(认知的)functions such as opinions and decision-making. Potentially, we might make the device fit to identify untrue ideas or prejudice and better understand individual differences,” says Spape.

【1】How does AI prove its ability of identifying beautiful faces?

A．By becoming a tailor to attract individuals.

B．By making new images attractive to people.

C．By making decisions and identifying attractive attitude.

D．By helping people know more about what is attractive.

【2】Why is attractiveness a more challenging task?

A．People have different opinions on beauty.

B．It is hard for AI to know what is beautiful.

C．AI plays a vital role in individual preferences.

D．Different cultures influence psychological factors.

【3】What can we know from Spape’s words in the last paragraph?

A．The future research may involve cognitive functions.

B．Al knows the standard for personal and subjective attractiveness.

C．People can identify and understand individual differences.

D．Attractiveness can help the researchers make more decisions.

【4】Where is this text most likely from?

A．A diary.

B．A guidebook.

C．A novel.

D．A magazine.

23、   On Wednesday, two things happened. In Syria, 80 people were killed by government airstrikes. Meanwhile, in Florida, Elon Musk’s SpaceX successfully launched and fired a sports car into space. Guess which story has dominated mainstream news sites?

The launch of Musk’s Falcon Heavy rocket, the most powerful ever launched by a private company, went off successfully. Musk sent his cherry-red Tesla roadster running toward Mars, launching “a new space age”. The event attracted phenomenal publicity and made the rocket launch a masterstroke of advertising for Tesla.

Meanwhile, in Syria, where hundreds of thousands of refugees may be forced to return to unsafe homes, a UN human rights coordinator for Syria said despondently(沮丧地) that he was no longer sure why he bothers to videotape the effects of bombing, since nobody ever pays attention. He wondered what level of violence it would take to make the world care.

There is, perhaps, no better way to appreciate the tragedy of 21st-century global inequality than by watching a billionaire spend $90m launching a $100,000 car into space.

Musk said he wanted to participate in a space race because “races are exciting” and that while strapping his car to a rocket may be “silly and fun … silly and fun things are important”. Thus, anyone who mentions the huge waste the project involves, or the various social uses to which these resources could be put, can be dismissed as a killjoy.

But one doesn’t have to hate fun to question the justification for pursuing a costly new space race at exactly this moment. If we examine the situation honestly, it becomes hard to defend a project like this.

A mission to Mars does indeed sound exciting, but it’s important to have our priorities straight. First, perhaps we could make it so that a child no longer dies of malaria every two minutes. Or we could try to address the level of poverty in Alabama which has become so extreme that the UN investigator did not believe it could occur in a first-world country. Perhaps when violence, poverty and disease are solved, then we can head for the stars.

Many might think that what Elon Musk chooses to do with his billions is Elon  Musk’s business alone. If he wanted to spend all his money on medicine for children, that would be nice, but if he’d like to spend it making big explosions and sending his convertible on a million-mile space voyage, that’s his right.

But Musk is only rich enough to afford these money-consuming projects because we have allowed social inequalities to arise in the first place. If wealth were actually distributed fairly in this country, nobody would be in a position to fund his own private space program.

Elon Musk is right: silly and fun things are important. But some of them are an indefensible waste of resources. While there are still humanitarian crises such as that in Syria, nobody can justify vast spending on rocketry experiments.

【1】Why does the writer mention the two pieces of news at the beginning of the passage?

A.To highlight the significance of SpaceX’s successful launch of a rocket and a car into space.

B.To illustrate the inequality of wealth distribution and the consequent inequality of attention distribution.

C.To appeal to the government for more attention to the air strikes and refugee crisis in Syria.

D.To find out which news dominated the mainstream news sites.

【2】Why did the UN human rights coordinator for Syria feel disappointed?

A.Because nobody appreciated his work and all the efforts he made.

B.Because the violence in Syria is not serious enough to make the world care.

C.Because however hard he tried, nobody seemed to care about the situation in Syria.

D.Because he had great difficulty videotaping the effects of bombing.

【3】What is implied in paragraph in 6 and 7?

A.The space project of SpaceX cost the government too much money.

B.Addressing problems of violence, poverty and diseases should be our top priority.

C.Space programs are a waste of money that cannot be justified.

D.It kills the fun to question the justification of the pursuit of space programs.

【4】What does the writer mainly want to tell us?

A.We should pay equal attention to space projects and solving social problems.

B.No private companies should be allowed to spend money in rocketry experiments.

C.The successful launch of SpaceX has distracted the world from more important things.

D.The money and resources used in space projects could have been used to deal with various social problems.

24、Vinisha Umashankar was returning to her home in southern India from school a few years ago when she saw a man throwing away burnt charcoal (木炭) on the side of the street. He worked by ironing people’s clothes for a living-and his main appliance was an old-fashioned iron box, which he filled with hot charcoal that produced a cloud of smoke. Umashankar started thinking about how this was happening across the country, where the ironing vendor (小商贩) is a fixture.

So Umashankar came up with an idea. Instead of using charcoal to heat up the irons, the vendors could use something abundantly available in India: the power of the sun. Over the six months in 2019, when she was just 12 years old, she designed a cart (推车) that had solar panels to power a steam iron. She turned to college-level physics textbooks to get an understanding of how solar panels work. Then, she consulted some engineers about her concept and asked them to assist her in building a model.

And so the Iron-Max was born. It’s a blue-painted cart shaped like an iron box with solar panels fitted on its roof. It’s attached to a bicycle to allow vendors to move through the neighborhood to collect clothes to iron. Five hours of bright sunshine is enough to fully charge and operate the iron for six hours. The energy can be store Dina battery to provide power on cloudy days. The cart also has a coin-operated cellphone and a cellphone charging point where people can pay to recharge their phones to help vendors make extra money.

With her creative invention, Umashankar was invited to give a powerful 5-minute speech at COP26, the UN’s climate change summit in Glasgow, Scotland, in which she urged world leaders to stop talking and start acting.

Last September, Umashankar was named one of 15 finalists for the Earth shot Prize launched by Prince William, Duke of Cambridge. She did not win the prize in her category, “Clean Our Air”, but was praised by judges for being the youngest finalist for the award.

【1】What is the purpose of paragraph 1?

A．To show an Indian girl’s daily routines.

B．To tell the inspiration for the Iron-Max.

C．To point out an environmental problem.

D．To explain how ironing vendors survive.

【2】What did Vinisha Umashankar do to invent the Iron-Max?

A．She turned to some experts for help.

B．She attended lectures in universities.

C．She used charcoal to heat up the irons.

D．She consulted vendors about her concept.

【3】What does the text say about the solar-powered ironing cart?

A．It is not attached to a bicycle.

B．It fails to work on cloudy days.

C．It can offer additional services.

D．It does ironing fully automatically.

【4】What can we infer about Vinisha Umashankar’s invention?

A．It led to the opening of COP26.

B．It was doubted by most judges.

C．It finally won the Earth shot Prize.

D．It received wide recognition.
