21、As one of the biggest topics of the last decade, sustainability has become the beacon (灯塔) of hope to protect the planet. From supermarkets taking action on plastic packaging to the zero waste movement that can be practised from your kitchen, changes made by individuals and organizations across the globe have had an impact on the way we think, shop and live.

So what does that mean for the world of technology? You’d be forgiven for thinking that the words “sustainable” and “technology” don’t usually go hand in hand. E-waste is, after all, one of the planet’s biggest contributing waste streams. Not only that, but the materials that go into technology products are also part of the problem.

But with a challenge comes an opportunity, and there’s already some brilliant progress happening — great news for those of us wanting to be more sustainable with our technology. Firstly renewed products are having its moment. While consumers would previously turn their noses up at the idea of a second-hand device, there’s been a huge surge in demand for renewed technology products. The second major step in tackling the problem of e-waste is a change in attitudes from owning a product to subscribing for one. A subscription for a smartphone might sound like a foreign concept, but it’s already gaining momentum. At the forefront of this movement is a London-based technology startup, which offers a subscription service for the latest smartphones. As customers aren’t paying to own the phone at the end of their contract, the monthly price is significantly lower than average.

Studies show that extending a phone’s lifespan from one to four years can decrease its environmental impact by about 40%. So the next time it comes to refreshing your device — whether a smartphone, a laptop, a tablet or something else — consider the more environmentally friendly options that are at your fingertips.

【1】What’s the purpose of paragraph 1?

A．To change the way we think, shop and live.

B．To introduce the topic of sustainability in technology.

C．To tell us what people have done to protect the planet.

D．To call on people to do something for the environment.

【2】What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A．High-tech products are in short supply.

B．E-waste contributes to the biggest waste streams.

C．The two sustainability problems in technology.

D．Ignoring sustainable technology is unforgivable.

【3】What is present consumers’ attitude towards a second-hand device?

A．Supportive.

B．Unacceptable.

C．Sympathy

D．Doubtful.

【4】How can we become sustainable in technology according to the text?

A．By upgrading the old one.

B．By subscribing for a smartphone.

C．By spending less money on a smartphone.

D．By replacing the old one with the latest one

22、Is that “empathy”（移情） or “sympathy” you’re showing? While the two words are often incorrectly used interchangeably, the difference in their emotional impact is important.

Empathy, literally “walk a mile in others’ shoes”, goes beyond sympathy, a simple expression of concern for another person’s misfortune. Empathy requires the ability to recognize the suffering of another person from their point of view and to openly share their emotions, including painful distress. Since it requires shared experiences, people can generally feel empathy only for other people, not for animals. While people may be able to sympathize with a horse, for example, they cannot truly empathize with it.

Sympathy is a feeling and expression of concern for someone, often accompanied by a wish for them to be happier or better off. “Oh dear, I hope the new plan can really work.” In general, sympathy implies a deeper, more personal, level of concern than pity, a simple expression of sorrow. However, unlike empathy, sympathy does not imply that one’s feelings for another are based on shared experiences or emotions.

Psychologists say that empathy is essential in forming relationships and acting toward others. Since it involves experiencing another person’s point of view — stepping outside one’s self —empathy enables genuinely helping behaviors that come easily and naturally, rather than having to be forced.

Empathetic people work effectively in groups, make more lasting friendships, and are more likely to step in when they see others being mistreated. It is believed that people begin to show empathy in infancy and develop the quality through childhood and adolescence. Despite their level of concern for others, however, most people tend to feel deeper empathy for people similar to themselves compared to people outside their family, community, race, or cultural background.

However, taken to extremes, deep or extended feelings of empathy can actually be harmful to one’s emotional health. Empathy can make people angry — perhaps dangerously so — if they mistakenly perceive that another person is threatening a person they care for.

For years, psychologists have reported cases of too empathetic patients endangering the well-being of themselves and their families by giving away their life savings to random needy individuals. Such too empathetic people who feel they are somehow responsible for the distress of others have developed an empathy-based guilt.

【1】What does the phrase “walk a mile in others’ shoes” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Put oneself in others’ situation.

B．Walk a long distance in others’ shoes.

C．Accompany others in the long jogging.

D．Walk with others to share their experiences.

【2】How do you understand the level of concern according to Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?

A．Pity = sympathy.

B．Sympathy = empathy.

C．Pity ＜ sympathy.

D．Sympathy ＞ empathy.

【3】Which of the following statements about empathy is true?

A．Empathy is a feeling that exists between human beings and animals.

B．Empathy is essential to form relationship, so the deeper, the better.

C．Empathy is to just express sadness to other without shared experiences.

D．People are more likely to show empathy to those who have something in common.

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

A．Empathy, Good or Bad?

B．Two Important Human Feelings.

C．Empathy vs. Sympathy.

D．Empathy, A Must in Relationship.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。

On Saturday, Mum went to visit her friends in the city. Ollie, Dad and I went to do the shopping. The car park at the supermarket was very full; there was even a line for the barbecue out the front. Ollie and I complained-we guessed it would be really busy inside. This was not our idea of a fun way to spend the weekend. Dad promised us a hot dog on the way back if we helped him.

Seeing it was packed like sardines in a tin, Dad shook his head at the crowds when we got inside.

The whole town must have picked that morning to do their shopping. Every checkout was full of trolleys. Traffic jams were everywhere, and you could see the supermarket staff busy, running around. Bells sounded. Babies cried. People shouted. This was going to be hard work.

Dad told us we would need to do this smartly if we wanted to get out alive. We needed to work together. Ollie pushed the trolley; I checked the list; Dad would do the running and grabbing. He nodded at us and I knew the battle had started.

Ollie ran off ahead with the noisy trolley and headed for the fruit and vegetables. I chased after him with the list. After crazy panic buying, we were at the checkout, remarking how delicious this food would be when cooked into a roast dinner.

So far, so good. We might have been stuck behind a family with a cart filled to the top, a man with a lot of frozen dinners, and an old couple who moved slowly, but at least we'd made it. Dad picked up a magazine to read while waiting.

We finally got to the front. Dad stood in line, and we went to buy our hot dogs. Satisfied, we went home. But it was when we got the shopping bags into the house that I noticed that something was wrong: one of the bags was not ours. It would be impossible to go back to find our original bag.

注意：

1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

2.续写部分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。

Paragraph 1:

Disappointed but curious, Ollie and I opened the mistaken bag.

Paragraph 2:

It struck us that we could still take advantage of the mistaken bag.
