22、The computer mouse is familiar to everyone because it is a most useful device used by people to communicate with a desktop computer. It gave way to the touch pad（触摸板）for laptops but some people still use it for their laptops.

The man who invented the computer mouse, Douglas Engelbart died at home on July 2, 2013.Engelbart’s daughter Christina notified his death to the state’s Computer History Museum in an email. She said that her father had kidney failure and died peacefully on Tuesday night in his sleep.

Engelbart developed the mouse in the 1960s—a wooden shell covering two meal wheels, obtaining a patent for it long before the mouse’s widespread use.

Engelbart was born on January 30, 1925 in Portland, Oregon, to a radio repairman father and a housewife mother. He was working in a government aerospace laboratory in California when he had the vision of the computer mouse.

When he started working, the computer was at the infant stage and was a big machine that required huge amounts of time to process data. But Engelbart had already imagined the future of the computer and related technology. He was ahead of many scientists working on the same technology.

After the Vietnam War he started working on the interactive computer at an experimental research group at Stanford Research Institute, which had the financial backing of the Air Force, NASA and the Advanced Research Projects Agency, an arm of the Defense Department.

In 1968at a conference, he demonstrated a working model of a mouse, computer and keyboard that was used to share data on network. He demonstrated text editing, video conferencing and hypertext. His idea of computer network was the base and first step towards ARPANET.

He never made money with the invention of the mouse as his patent was till 1987 and the mouse came into wide use after the 1980s when Steve Jobs of Apple bought one button mouse. Apple never paid any money to Engelbart.

【1】With the development of science and technology ________.

A. the computer mouse is still a necessary part of a laptop

B. some people stop using the mouse on their desktop computer

C. the touch pad has taken the place of the mouse in a way

D. laptops will become popular with most of the users

【2】When Douglas Engelbart left the world ________.

A. he suffered a lot from kidney failure

B. he happened to be living with his daughter

C. he failed to send an email to a museum

D. he had a quiet expression on the face

【3】When Engelbart got a patent for the mouse ________.

A. he had made many other inventions

B. the mouse wasn’t used widely

C. a wooden mouse was very popular

D. he took charge of an aerospace laboratory

【4】From the sixth paragraph we can know that ________.

A. Engelbart went off to the Vietnam War   B. Engelbart gained a lot of support

C. Engelbart worked for the Air Force   D. Engelbart earned a lot of money

23、Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world-Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey - rats will soon be man’s new best friends.

What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs.Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives.They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.

How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals.When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive.The rat has smelled that person.

Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, “Robots’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark.They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity!

The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).

【1】In the world earthquake capitals, rats will become popular because they can .

A．get into small spaces

B．take the place of man’s rescue jobs

C．find food for survivors trapped in buildings

D．find the position of survivors trapped in buildings

【2】From the third paragraph we know rescuers can judge a person is alive by .

A．the noise made by the rat

B．the rat’s unusual behaviour

C．the signal sent by the radio on the rat

D．the smell given off by the person trapped

【3】After reading the passage we know that now .

A．people still use dogs and robots in rescue work

B．the “rat project” has been completed already

C．rats have replaced dogs in searching for people

D．people are happy to see a rat in a building

【4】The main idea of the passage is about_______in an earthquake.

A．dos and don’ts

B．the role rats will play

C．ways of rescuing people

D．the reason for not using dogs

24、Rain is vital to life on Earth. However, rain isn't just made of water anymore-it's partly made of plastic.

Millions of tiny pieces of plastic, called microplastics, are wandering around Earth's atmosphere and traveling across entire continents, according to a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on April 12. Another study, published in the journal Science in June2020, has revealed that every year more than 1, 000 tons of the particles (颗粒)-equivalent to over 120 million plastic bottles-fall in rain.

Microplastics are plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in diameter (直径)and come from a number of sources. Plastic bags and bottles released into the environment break down into smaller and smaller bits. Some microplastics are manufactured deliberately to provide abrasion(研磨)in a host of products, such as toothpaste and cleansers, according to the Daily Mail. Another major source is your washing machine. When you wash synthetic(合成的)clothing, tiny microfibers get flushed away. Even though the water is treated by a wastewater plant, the microplastics remain, and they are released into the sea, according to the American magazine Wired.

Plastic rain may remind people of acid rain, but the former is far more widespread and harder to deal with. The tiny particles, too small to be seen with the naked eyes, are collected by the wind from the ground. They are so light that they stay in the air to be blown around the globe. As they climb into the atmosphere, they are thought to act as nuclei(核心)around which water vapor (水蒸气)condenses(凝结)to form clouds. Some of the dust falls back to land in dry conditions, while the rest comes down as rain, according to the Daily Mail.

Microplastics have been found everywhere you can imagine. From fish and frogs to mice and mosquitoes, their bodies have been fund, on average, to contain 40 pieces of microplastics, reported the Daily Mail. As the top of the food chain, humans are exposed to microplastics, too. "We live on a ball inside a bubble," microplastic researcher Steve Allen at University of Strathclyde, Scotland, told Wired. "There are no borders, and there are no edges. It rains on the land and then gets blown back up into the air again, to move somewhere else. There's no stopping it once it's out."

【1】What do we know about microplastics?

A．They are light and can be easily dealt with.

B．They result in both acid rain and plastic rain.

C．They have a diameter of at least 5 millimeters.

D．They have nearly affected the whole word food chain.

【2】What does the underlined word "flushed" mean in Paragraph 3?

A．Smoothed.

B．Thrown.

C．Washed.

D．Squeezed.

【3】What do Steve Allen's words mean in the last paragraph?

A．No place is safe from microplastic pollution.

B．It is important to remove microplastics somewhere else.

C．The atmosphere possesses the capacity to self-cleanse.

D．Countries should work together to fight plastic pollution.

【4】What's the main purpose of the passage?

A．To compare acid rain and plastic rain.

B．To warn people of the dangers of microplastics.

C．To call on people to reduce using plastic products.

D．To introduce the sources and effects of microplastics.

25、Pumpkin carving at Halloween is a family tradition. We visit a local farm every October. In the pumpkin field, I ________ with my three brothers and sister to seek out the biggest pumpkin. My dad has a ________ that we have to carry our pumpkins back home, and as the eldest child I have an advantage—I carried an 85-pounder back last year.

This year, it was hard to tell whether my prize or the one chosen by my 14-year-old brother, Jason, was the winner. ________ , we forgot to weigh them before taking out their insides, but I was determined to prove my ________ . All of us were hard at work at the kitchen table, with my mom filming the ________ event. I’m still unsure now why I forced my head inside the pumpkin, but it seemed to make perfect sense at the time. With the pumpkin resting on the table, hole uppermost, I bent over and ________ my head against the opening. At first I got jammed just above my eyes and then, as I went on with my task, unwilling to quit, my nose ________ prevented entry. Finally I managed to put my whole head into it, like a cork forced into a bottle. To my surprise, I was able to straighten up with the huge pumpkin resting on my shoulders. ________ , my excitement was short-lived. The pumpkin was too heavy for me to carry on for a long time. With Jason helping to ________ its weight, I bent back over the table to give it somewhere to rest, but in vain. When I pulled ________ , my nose got in the way. I got into a ________ as I pressed firmly against the table and moved my head around trying to find the right angle, but it was ________ . “I can’t get it out!” I shouted, my voice sounding unnaturally loud in the ________ space.

Eventually, Dad ________ to break the pumpkin with a knife; meanwhile, I realized the camera had been rolling the whole time! My family had an ________ moment that we would always treasure, and my father broke the rule, announcing that both my brother and I were winners!

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。

One New Year’s morning, as we came down to breakfast, with very shiny faces and spendy aprons(围裙), we surprisingly found father alone in the dining room.

“Happy New Year. Papa! Where is Mother?” we cried.

“A little boy came begging and said they were starving at home. so your mother went to see and ah, here she is.”

As Papa spoke, in came Mamma, looking very cold, rather sad, and very much excited. Not far away from here, lies a poor woman with a little newborn baby. Six children are hud-dled(挤在一起)into one bed to keep from freezing for they have no fire. There is nothing to eat over there, and the oldest boy came here to tell me they were starving on this bitterly cold day. “My little girls, will you givc them your breakfast, as a New Year’s gift?”

We sat silent a minute and looked at the nice, hot porridge(粥), creamy milk, and good bread and butter; for we were brought up like English children, and never drank tea or coffee, or ate anything but porridge for our breakfast.

“I wish we’d eaten it up,” thought I for I was rather a selfish child, and very hungry.

“May I go and help carry it to the poor, little children?” asked Beth, who had the tende-rest heart that ever beat under a spendy apron.

“1 can carry that little pot,” said little May, proudly giving the thing she loved best.

“And I shall take all the porridge,” I burst in, heartily ashamed of my first feeling.

“You shall put on your things and help me, and when we come back, we’ll get something to eat,” said Mother, beginning to pile the bread and butter into a big basket.
