21、   A quick look at Instagram will show you thousands of girls sharing their clothing of the day. Many of these girls are sharing completely new clothes every day. And they’re feeling the pressure to never repeat clothes. This attitude of not being able to wear something again after sharing it on Instagram is far too common. It is a sad thing when some girls feel sorry for appearing in the same clothes more than once on Instagram.

Clothes businesses push new “must-haves” every week, which adds to the pressure to keep up. Clothes have been so cheap because of the competition between clothes businesses that it’s shockingly easy to buy new clothes every day. These clothes businesses have made it possible for a normal person to never be seen in the same clothes twice. Often the quality of these clothes is so low that they don’t even survive the wash so there is no chance of that second wear.

Consider everything that goes into making a single piece of clothing—for example: plenty of water, energy and petrochemicals, finishing and labor of each worker throughout making it. It’s shocking to think after all this, a piece of clothing might be worn once, maybe twice, and then thrown away so that they can follow fast fashion.

The fashion of throwing clothes away after use needs to change. Proudly post the same clothes you’ve worn before online. Get creative with mixing and matching, and borrow from friends for special times. The possibilities are endless so there’s no need to shop frequently.

【1】What is a sad thing according to the first paragraph?

A．Some girls like showing off on the Internet.

B．Some girls spend too much time on social media.

C．Some girls care too little about their appearances.

D．Some girls think posting the same clothes online again wrong.

【2】What leads to the girls’ wearing the same clothes only once?

A．Online shopping.

B．Parents’ pressure.

C．Clothes businesses.

D．Laziness to wash clothes.

【3】Why does the author mention how single piece of clothing is made?

A．To tell us we should treasure clothes.

B．To show fast fashion’s great influence.

C．To show the development of the clothes industry.

D．To tell us we should have our own dressing styles.

【4】What does the author want to do in the last paragraph?

A．Offer reasons.

B．Give suggestions.

C．Give encouragement.

D．Offer more information.

22、Every time mask wearers cough, or make certain facial expressions, their face covering shits — and a busy worker may not have time to recheck mask fit each time one of these movements occurs. “This can cause anxiety,” says Josiah Hester, developer of FaceBit — a device that tracks a face covering’s fit and wear time, as well as its wearer’s vital signs. His colleagues who work in clinical settings have been communicating their concerns to him, saying, “Give me something that can watch me because I don’t have the time to take care of myself as I’m going about my clinical duties, taking care of this influx (涌入) of patients.” And that’s where it started, Hester explains.

Rather than developing an entire “smart mask,” which might be impractical to reuse, Hester’s team created an electronic device, a little lager than a quarter, that attaches to a face covering with a clip (夹子) and contains several sensors. A pressure sensor detects leaks, indicating how well a mask is fitting. Pressure changes also let the FaceBit determine when the mask is over someone’s face, so it can record wear time. The FaceBit additionally monitors heart rate and measures breathing rate. A Bluetooth connection send these data to a companion phone app. The device is powered by a battery, charged with energy harvested from the mask’s motions as its wearer moves and breathes.

A fit monitor could be very useful for health care workers wearing a mask all day, says Lisa Brosseau, a research consultant. But she is not convinced that FaceBit can consistently measure fit. “It has some promise, perhaps, but they have not validated it in a way that I would accept.”

Hester plans to continue testing and improving the project. His team will distribute some FaceBits and let people use them, experiment and play with them. Other researchers will also be able to improve the energy-harvesting components and extend the battery life. They could even add new sensors that would open up more uses for such a device.

【1】Where did Josiah Hester’s inspiration to develop FaceBit come from?

A．One of his patients.

B．A research consultant.

C．His personal experience.

D．His co-workers’ request.

【2】How can a mask wearer get information from FaceBit?

A．By checking the companion phone app.

B．By reading the measurer on it

C．By communicating with a wearable recorder.

D．By viewing the watch attached to it.

【3】What can we infer about Josiah Hester’s project?

A．It is of unlimited use.

B．It is well received.

C．It calls for cooperation.

D．It has gained profits.

【4】What is the purpose of the text?

A．To share a clinical experiment.

B．To introduce an electronic device.

C．To recommend a smart face covering.

D．To analyze risks of not wearing masks.

24、   Gum (口香糖) Shoes

Dutch fashion and shoe label Explicit Wear is hoping to solve one of life's sticky situations the annoyance of stepping in deserted chewing gum on the pavement-while helping to keep Amsterdam's city streets clean. The brand has partnered with local marketing organization Amsterdam and another firm Gumdrop to create a limited-edition sneaker for adults made from recycled gum that's been removed from the city's pavements.

According to the project, more than 3 million pounds of gum end up on Amsterdam's streets and sidewalks each year, costing the city millions of dollars to clean up. The designer, Anna Bullus, created a pink, bubble-shaped bin-itself made from recycled gum, mixed with other recycled materials-to begin to collect the gum on central city streets, train stations, and other places with heavy foot traffic. When the bin is full, the whole container goes to a machine. The gum and bin are then recycled together and made into little balls that can be used in the same type of producing equipment that usually works with regular plastic.

Priced at around $332, the shoes will be shown for the first time sometime in June. Available for preorder now, the Gumshoe sneakers-offered in both a bubblegum pink and a black colorway-feature durable rubber outsoles (外底) fashioned from recyclable material (called Gum-Tec) produced by Gumdrop, 20 percent of which are made from gum.

Every four pairs of shoes require nearly 2.2 pounds of gum. A map of Amsterdam is carved into the bottom of the shoes to remind people of the littering problem. Even better, the sneakers actually smell like bubblegum-without the annoying stickiness.

To help spread their message, Gumshoe's creators are hoping to expand the project to other major cities around the world.
