21、Are you still frustrated for forgetting passwords? Never again! There’s a way to choose and remember them with confidence.

【1】 It’s good exercise for your brain and a valuable way to protect your identity online. The system uses letters, numbers and symbols, so it will please even the strictest website. And the random-looking codes it produces would be extremely difficult for someone to crack, but just enough of a challenge for your brain.

First, choose a short quotation, one that no one would have any reason to associate with you. 【2】 So, if you chose “Play it again, Sam”, you’d have the letters PIAS. Next, choose a meaningful date again, one that can’t be guessed or easily researched. Maybe the year of a favorite holiday, “86,” say. 【3】 Finally, organize these building blocks in any order you like. And strengthen the code further by making some of the letters lower case and some upper: maybe 86&EPiAs.

Spend a little time getting to know this “foundation” for your passwords. “See” it in your mind’s eye. And then start using it as the basis for every new password you set. Add two or three extra letters each time, a few initials or abbreviations (缩写) to remind you of what this particular password is for. 【4】

So the final password for your BBC account could be: BBC86&EPiAs.

【5】 But each password ends up being complex and unique, helping to protect your identity and giving your memory a cracking workout every time.

A．Nothing is better than this.

B．What you should do is to follow a system.

C．We can remember them well if we often use the letters.

D．With a system like this, you’ve got a basic formula to follow.

E．Then add a random element by picking any two symbols like & and E.

F．Pick out the initial letters-creating the first “building block” for your passwords.

G．For example, you might use BT for your phone account or CC for the camera club forum.

22、The sparkling drink (气泡酒), Champagne, which we’ve all come to adore has an interesting backstory. Back in the 1690s, wine growers in France were trying their best to develop a new version of wine that would rival Burgundy wines, which are considered to be the best money can buy. The pioneer leading this project was Dom Pierre Pérignon, who was a French monk.

However, these efforts kept failing. It was all down to the fermentation (发酵) process being stopped because of cold winters in the region. But then something magical happened. When springtime rolled around, the yeast (酵母) became active again. The delayed fermentation process caused carbon dioxide to be released in the bottles that the wine had been stored in.

The result? You guessed right: champagne!

However, in recent years, some have argued that an Englishman was actually the first to invent sparkling wine, which, they claimed, happened around 30 years earlier. A scientist named Christopher Merrett was apparently experimenting with different ideas, one of which involved adding sugar to wine. The debate continues, although we recommend you avoid saying this to any French people, especially if you are a guest in their house!

Today, the Champagne regions in France consist of over 34,000 hectares given to vineyards (葡萄园). It produces 300 million bottles of sparkling wine every single year. Interestingly enough, many argue that three grape varieties are used in the Champagne region. However, the truth is that there are actually seven varieties that can be used. The area is home to over 250 Champagne houses directing the industry. The industry directly employs around 30,000 people and had an annual global market size of nearly $6 billion U.S. dollars in 2021.

【1】What does the underlined word “rival” in paragraph 1 mean?

A．Be as good as.

B．Be as interesting as.

C．Be an addiction to.

D．Be an attachment to.

【2】What can be inferred about the French version of the invention of Champagne?

A．It ended up as a failure.

B．It was a complete accident.

C．It was contributed to by the cold weather.

D．It caused conflict among the French people.

【3】What is a suggestion of the author?

A．Not giving up despite disappointing failures.

B．Not ignoring different ideas when doing experiments.

C．Not arguing with an Englishman about the origin of Champagne.

D．Not mentioning Merrett as the inventor of sparkling wine to a Frenchman.

【4】What’s the last paragraph mainly about?

A．The huge French Champagne industry.

B．A breakthrough of the Champagne houses.

C．An argument over the origin of Champagne.

D．The present condition of the Champagne region.

23、   If you live in a desert, maintaining a supply of fresh water is a challenge. Even in inland deserts, though, water is often present in the air as vapour. The problem is how to obtain this vapour effectively and cheaply. And that is what the researchers of the University of Connecticut hope they have managed to do.

Whether water can be got from the air depends on the air's relative humidity（湿度）. A good way to get air to give up some of its water is to cool it to the point where its relative humidity is 100%. Sometimes this happens naturally at night, causing mist and dew to form. These can be collected in special traps in areas where liquid water is rare. But if night cooling does not bring air all the way up to 100%relative humidity, building water traps out of special materials might give nature a helping hand.

Adsorption（吸附法）is a process which picks water molecules（分子）from the air that has less than 100%relative humidity by attaching them to the surface of a solid material. The molecules are held there by electrostatic connections called Van der Waals forces.

To collect a lot of water in this way requires a material that has two properties. One is a large surface area. The other is an appropriate Van der Waals response. Experimental traps that employ this principle have been made using substances called metal-organic frameworks.

These are porous（多孔的）molecular networks through which the air can circulate. Their porosity gives them a huge surface area. And by picking the right ingredients, such as zirconium, they can be given the necessary Van der Waals properties. This way works, but the technology is costly because of zirconium.

【1】How can people get water from the air?

A．By reducing the air's temperature.

B．By using any trap in inland deserts.

C．By using a kind of soft materials.

D．By reducing the air's relative humidity.

【2】What's the key when we use adsorption to collect water?

A．Enough air molecules.

B．Normal temperature.

C．Metal-organic frameworks.

D．Some experimental tools.

【3】What can we know about adsorption from the text?

A．It is easy to learn.

B．It has been used widely.

C．It is refused by experts.

D．It has a disadvantage.

【4】What may be the best title for the text?

A．Come to save water in deserts

B．Challenges of living in a desert.

C．Fresh water supply in deserts

D．The air's relative humidity in deserts.

24、On Saturday 17 September 2016, you may catch sight of hundreds of apes(猩猩) running around the streets of London. They’ll have been filming a new Planet of the Apes movie, you’ll probably think. But in fact, when the starter’s pistol sounds for the Great Gorilla Run next year, this highly popular event will have been raising money for thirteen years. People from all over the world will run, jog or walk 8km in gorilla costumes through the capital’s streets, passing such iconic landmarks as The Tower of London and St Paul’s Cathedral. By the time the last ape crosses the finishing line, the runners will have raised millions for endangered species and education projects in Central Africa.

Unusual charity events such as these are a huge trend for raising money for worthwhile causes. If, however, you’re looking to really like the idea of running through mud and freezing cold ice, then The Tough Mudder is perhaps what you’ve been searching for. In this difficult and tiring team event, participants finish a 10 to 12-mile barrier course that tests physical strength and mental courage. It’s more about friendship than winning. Over 150 such events worldwide have raised £5 million.

But fundraising doesn’t have to involve physical effort. Students at a school in Illinois played Justin Bieber’s song ‘Baby’ over loudspeakers and urged fellow students to pay to stop the song. They needed to raise $1,000 in one week to achieve this. Beyond expectations, they exceeded(超过) the goal within three days. Even teachers chipped in.

If you want to join the ranks of gorillas next September, you only have to pay £60 to register. This includes the gorilla suit, which you can keep. If you take part, not only will you have been helping the gorillas and people who depend on their habitat, you’ll never have to buy another set of fancy clothes again!

【1】What is the Great Gorilla Run held for?

A. To film a new Planet of the Apes

B. To collect money for Central Africa

C. To make a study of the origin of man

D. To enjoy famous senic spots in London

【2】What can we learn about the Tough Mudder?

A. It is disgusting   B. It is unique

C. It is competitive D. It is challenging

【3】What does the phrase “chipped in” in the third paragraph refer to?

A. Joined in singing

B. Made a contribution

C. Scolded the organizers

D. Interrupted the activity

【4】Which can be a suitable title for the passage?

A. Going Crazy for Charity!

B. Protecting Our Rare Animals!

C. Competing in Unusual Events!

D. Watching Out for Aggressive Animals!

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When the Gilberts first moved to the city, they began looking for a new home. For their daughter Elise, aged 12, her dream-like house will have a big backyard with grass and flowers.

“I hope it will have a tree where there birds can play.” Elise’s brother Frank, a bird-lover, echoed her more than once.

But it was not easy to find a house that pleased them. For six weeks the Gilberts hunted and hunted. At last, they found one and moved into the new house. However, there was not a blade of grass anywhere, or even a small bush. Smooth concrete only! Out of expectation, in one corner of the yard stood a tall white flagpole. At the foot of the pole was a low place filled to the edge with clear, sparkling water.

“I don’t suppose that we shall be able to make friends with the birds...” Elise was in low spirits. Frank, biting his lips, said nothing.

The next day was Saturday. Elise and her Mum went out shopping as usual. Frank went out into the yard and examined the flagpole for a long time. As he stood looking at the hard concrete, he thought to himself, “It does seem lonesome.” Then something made him look up, two little birds fluttering above the bead around the top of the flagpole! “Well,” cried the surprised boy, “I do believe birds would come here to live if they had only half a chance!”

Hearing Frank’s excited voice, Mr. Gilbert stepped out of the house and neared him. As a matter of fact, his father had already read through Frank’s mind those days. “Do not forget tomorrow is your sister’s birthday.”

“Of course not!” Frank nodded firmly, “I’ll give her a big surprise and would you please lend me a hand?” “My pleasure!”
