21、   Echo, a two-year-old Harlequin Dane, has been turning heads everywhere she goes since her owner dyed （染色）her coat purple, blue, pink and green.

Sierra Schoon, a 22-year-old woman from Grand Junction in Colorado, has been coloring her service dog, Echo, using pet-safe dye, ever since the dog was about six months old. The young dog lover said that she uses vegetable-based Arctic Fox hair dye, and that Echo loves to just sit there for three or four hours while she applies the dye. And when they go out for walks, it is quite obvious that the dog also feels quite delighted when people keep staring at her, as they tend to get very confused by her unusual look.

“It becomes a joke that we tell people. When they ask, Oh, is that dog naturally colored this way? We say 'Yeah, she's a Galaxy Dane' Schoon said." You kind of stand there for a minute, look at their reaction and let them stew and then finally tell them,  'No, she's dyed that way'. I never thought that anybody would ever think that a dog would naturally be pink or blue, let alone pink, blue, purple and green.

However, after photos of the unusual-looking Great Dane spread online, people said that they felt sorry for the poor animal. Some accused Echo's owner of using her as a fashion accessory for attention-seeking purposes, and a few even went as far as accusing animal cruelty, saying the owner of this dog should never be allowed to have animals ever again.

In fact, the dyeing has actually helped Echo get over her shyness. Because of her big size most people preferred to keep their distance, and this always made her very nervous, because the Great Dane is extremely friendly. The eye-catching dye makes people more comfortable around Echo, and Sierra said that she noticed a positive change in her personality as well.

【1】What can be known about Echo from the first two paragraphs?

A．Dyeing makes her feel quite uncomfortable.

B．She enjoys moving her head from side to side.

C．She turns her head deliberately to draw attention.

D．She becomes the focus of attention wherever she is.

【2】Which of the following agrees with Sierra Schoon's opinion?

A．Echo enjoys both the dyeing process and public attention.

B．It is quite easy for people to discover that Echo is dyed.

C．People are more delighted than confused by Echo.

D．Echo looks much younger than her real age.

【3】What's the netizens' attitude towards Sierra Schoon's behavior?

A．Envious.

B．Ambiguous.

C．Uncaring.

D．Disapproving.

【4】What's the actual effect of Echo's being dyed?

A．It makes her much friendlier than before.

B．It makes her more approachable.

C．It makes her more cautious about being touched.

D．It widens the distance between her and people.

22、   Two musicians from Germany are using robotic equipment to add sounds to their performances. The two-man band performs with a robot that can play several musical instruments at the same time. The robot can sound like a guitar, keyboard, drum or other percussion instrument. When performing, members of the band provide many of the sounds, but others are controlled by a computer. Once connected to wires and set up, instruments can play on their own.

One of the instruments was created from a long, self-turning wooden stick that sits on top of a microphone stand. The stick contains long strings. They are tied on each end. The strings are connected to a small wooden ball. As the stick turns, the ball hits a block on the floor, creating a sound.

The two-man band, called Joasihno, recently performed at the South by Southwest Conference and Music Festival in Austin, Texas. They describe their electronic sound as “psychedelic (迷幻的) machine” music. “Actually, we call it a psychedelic robot orchestra,” said Cico Beck, one of the creators of the group.

The group’s other member, Nico Siereg, says playing in an experimental band with robots is not the same as playing in a traditional one. “It’s a little bit different because you also have in mind that there are machines playing around you, so there’s no reaction from them,” he said. But Siereg said that in some ways, the robots actually help him improve his performance. Since the self-playing instruments are programmed, he sometimes feels freer to center on what he is playing, and at times to even play without preparation.

The musician says he can imagine similar technology having a greater influence on many different kinds of music in the future. “Technology is like a very important tool that even, very often, it’s also a very important part of inspiration,” he said. But he also expressed hope that “real music won’t die.”

In addition to performing recently in Texas, Joashihno has been busy putting on shows in Europe and in Canada. The band hopes its high-tech music “experiment” will keep reaching new people and pleasing the ears of its fans.

【1】According to the first paragraph, the robotic equipment __________.

A.is operated by a wooden stick

B.serves as a whole band

C.fuctions as musical instruments

D.is battery-powered

【2】What does Nico Siereg think of playing music with robots?

A.It is better than playing with human being.

B.It is just a pity that the robots cannot respond to him.

C.It has a negative effect on his performance because robots distract him.

D.It is strange for him to have some machines playing around him.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Robots will replace musical instruments.

B.This new style of performance has become popular around the world.

C.One member of the band doesn’t think playing with robots is real music.

D.The machines are programmed to create many sounds.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A.Real Music Won’t Die

B.Adding New Blood to Traditional Music

C.High Technology Is Applied to Music

D.Robots Will Wipe Out Human Beings

23、   We all regard receiving presents as a pleasant experience and yet it can be one of the most awkward situations. It is often difficult to look pleased when you receive a gift which is entirely useless or the wrong size.【1】 However, you have no right to change an article purchased just because it does not fit or is not to your taste. Worse still, the agreement on the sale is between the person who bought it and the shop.

So you will have to tell your favorite aunt that the T-shirt does not fit. But an exchange is not always that simple because there has to be a good reason for it. 【2】 For example, if the buyer was told that a switch was voice-operated and later found out it was not, then action could be taken. You would have the right to return it and get the money back.

But if you are returning something, no matter what the reason is, you will be expected to have proof of purchase. If the receipt cannot be found, then it is possible to use another proof of purchase such as a credit card receipt. 【3】

Many big stores have a much more tolerant policy towards returns and see it as a gesture of goodwill to exchange goods without question. Stores including Marks & Spencer are well known for their “no argument” policy on returned goods. 【4】

So if a shop refuses to exchange the goods or to offer a refund, the seller is likely to be within his legal rights unless there is something wrong with the goods. In that case, the boot is on the other foot. You have every right to demand a cash refund or a replacement, but only if you have returned it within a “reasonable” time.

【5】 Some shops and stores expect things to be returned within a week of purchase, while others may permit a much longer time limit. In any case if you return a thing after what is considered a “reasonable” time, then all you are legally entitled to is the cost of repair.

A．You should make clear what your legal position is before returning goods to the shops.

B．Unfortunately, the law does not explain what is meant by “reasonable”.

C．If all of these have been lost, you may have to rely on a witness.

D．All you can do is exchange it after your friend or relative has gone home.

E．It is unlike anything you would buy for yourself.

F．However, shoppers should remember this is a privilege, not a right.

G．Either the thing has to be broken or unsuitable for the job it was intended to do.

24、We’ve all been in a position where life gets busy, schedules are difficult to coordinate and connecting with friends feels harder than ever. With some friendships, we may lose touch and want to reconnect. However，the more time that passes, the more uncertain it can feel if they want to hear from us.

A recent study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology says it’s time to reach out. Researchers found numerous benefits when reaching out to friends and old acquaintances. Especially if you’re unsure of how well they’ll receive hearing from you. The study, led by Dr Peggy Liu, is called The Surprise of Reaching Out: Appreciated More Than We Think. In the study, researchers posed the question: Do people accurately understand how much other people value being reached out to by someone in their social circle? To answer this question, researchers carried out 13 experiments with more than 5,900 participants. In the experiments, researchers measured how much people estimated their friends or acquaintances would appreciate them reaching out versus how much those on the receiving end did appreciate it. They also examined different forms of communication-phone calls, texts, emails, notes or even small gifts—and their impact.

Over the series of experiments, experts discovered a similar trend: those reaching out significantly underestimated how much their friends would appreciate hearing from them. Plus, the more unexpected the communication was, the more the friend on the receiving end appreciated it. “People are fundamentally social beings and enjoy connecting with others,” the researchers wrote.

In fact, what made these moments of reaching out so impactful was the effort they showed—no matter the form of communication. Dr Amie Gordon, a social psychologist at the University of Michigan, emphasises the importance of small moments and making efforts in relationships in a Psychology Today article. “In a busy life, these little moments might feel just like that—little moments that don’t really matter ... But each moment we ignore is a missed opportunity to connect and build up an emotional bank of positive moments.”

The science is clear—people appreciate the effort we put into our friendships. And we greatly underestimate it. One phenomenon that may explain why those who reached out underestimated their positive impact is because of “the liking gap”. Psychologist Terri Apter writes in Psychology Today that the liking gap is a tendency to “how we often underestimate other’s responses to us”, and the reality that other people like us more than we may think.

D．We are more well-liked and well-received than we expect in our friendships.
