21、   Some 117 years after the Wright brothers made the first powered flight on Earth,NASA has repeated the accomplishment on another planet.

Carried to Mars in the belly of the Perseverance rover, the Ingenuity helicopter lifted off last week from the surface of the Red Planet to an altitude of about 10 feet, hovered for some 30 seconds, turned 96 degrees, and then gently landed. Six days later, on May 3, the drone flew the length of a football field, hitting a top speed of 4.5 mph. That 1 minute 20 second flight was an incredible technical achievement, reports The New York Times.

The red planet has significant gravity, about one-third that of the Earth’s. The Martian atmosphere is less than 1 percent as dense as Earth’s, so there is virtually no air for a helicopter’s rotor blades to push against and generate lift. During Martian daytime, the planet’s surface receives only about half the amount of solar energy that reaches the Earth during its daytime, and nighttime temperatures can drop as low as minus 90 degrees Celsius, which can freeze and crack unprotected electrical components. To enable Ingenuity to fly, NASA made the $85 million craft exceptionally light－it weighs 4 pounds－and fitted its body of tissue-box size with two 4-foot-wide carbon-fiber rotor blades. They spin five times faster than those of a conventional helicopter. To survive the freezing Martian nights, it must have enough energy to power internal heaters.

Ingenuity will make two more test flights before scientists focus on Perseverance’s primary mission: searching for signs of past microbial life in ancient Martian lake beds. NASA hopes to send more-sophisticated drones to Mars that will be able to carry scientific instruments and reach and study areas inaccessible to wheeled rovers. “What the Ingenuity team has done is to give us the third dimension,” says Michael Watkins, director of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. “They freed us from the surface now and forever in planetary exploration.”

【1】What can we learn about the Ingenuity helicopter from the passage?

A．It hovered for 30 seconds in May.

B．It lifted off from the surface of the Earth.

C．It has been damaged by the low temperature on Mars.

D．It hit a top speed of 4.5 mph during the second flight.

【2】Why is the flight of the Ingenuity helicopter an incredible technical achievement?

A．Because flying on Mars is far more difficult than that on Earth.

B．Because it helped NASA send another 2 drones to explore Mars.

C．Because it is the first time that a drone has landed on Mars.

D．Because the drone will make two more test flights.

【3】What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Helicopters.

B．Temperatures.

C．Blades.

D．Heaters.

【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To promote a new leading-edge technology.

B．To inform us of a recent progress in technology.

C．To evaluate the performance of the drone on Mars.

D．To analyze the data collected during the exploration.

22、Many Android and iPhone owners use Google services on their mobile phones or tablets. One of the most widely used location services is Google Maps. When someone uses Google Maps, information about times and locations is recorded and stored.

Google also uses tracking tools with other services. Weather apps, for example, are designed to identify a user’s location to provide local weather information. Even some Google Internet searches can result in the collection of information about exactly where a person was when the search was made.

Google says it collects the data to improve users’ localized experiences. But such practices have also raised privacy concerns. Privacy activists have called on Google and other major technology companies to make it easier for users to turn off location services if they do not want to be tracked. In some ways, Google is clear about asking permission to use location information. For instance, Google Maps will seek approval from a user to give the app access to locations. If a user agrees to let Google collect location information over time, Google Maps will show this history in a “timeline” that shows the person’s daily movements.

Google also has a “Location History” setting. The company says any user can turn off Location History at any time. And when Location History is turned off for a user’s account, it is turned off for all equipment linked to that Google account. But the AP (Associated Press) found this does not appear to be true, finding that Google continued to save location history even if a user had turned off Location History.

Google states users can stop the saving of all location markers by turning off another setting, however, which is not clearly identified as being connected to location tracking. The setting is called “Web and App Activity”. It stores different kinds of information from Google apps and websites to a user’s Google account.

【1】Why does the author mention Weather apps?

A．To advise people to stop using them.

B．To stress Google services are widely used.

C．To prove Google collects users’ data illegally.

D．To show many apps can track a user’s location.

【2】What is the voice from the privacy activists?

A．Users should use the Internet less.

B．Google should stop tracking users.

C．Google should respect users’ privacy.

D．Google should turn off location services.

【3】What does the author indicate in paragraph 4?

A．The Location History setting is difficult to find.

B．The AP asks Google to remove Location History.

C．Turning off Location History can avoid being tracked.

D．What Google announces is hardly consistent with the fact.

【4】Which can best summarize the passage?

A．Using Google puts you into a dangerous state.

B．Google services urgently need to get improved.

C．Google still tracks you with Location History off.

D．Web and App Activity has endangered people’s life.

23、   Washing habits have changed over the years. In the 16th century, most people had a bath once a month…if they were lucky. Up until the 1950s, it was once a week. Only just recently has the concept of daily showering become popular. But now, according to the New York Times, things are changing again.

The latest trend is known as “soap-dodging”. It basically consists of washing less, having fewer showers and using less soap. “I just wash my hair once a month now,” said Brett Dawson, a 32-year-old management consultant. “I have just one bath a week,” said Miriam Bayliss, a 28-year-old accountant.

And it appears to be growing in popularity. A poll last year for tissue manufacturer SCA found that 41% of British men and 33% of women don’t shower every day. And 12% of people have a proper wash just once or twice a week. Further research by Mintel found that more than half of British teenagers don’t wash every day-with many opting for a quick spray of deodorant (除臭剂) to mask any smell. But why?

There are a variety of reasons. Some claim that daily hair-washing is unnecessary. Commentator Matthew admitted that he hadn’t shampooed his hair for a decade. Others say they just don’t have the time. In 2008, the chemist Boots reported a 45% rise in sales of dry shampoo - a product that can be sprayed on hair between showers.

And some people want to help the environment. “I limit my showers to about twice a week,” said Nigel Hamerstone, a 42-year-old architect. “The rest of the time I have a sink wash.” he adds. “I believe that I’m as clean as everyone else, and it’s helped get my water consumption down to around 20 litres a day - well below the 100 to 150 average in the UK.”

So, will you be joining the new “washing revolution”?

【1】Before the 1950s, how often did people have a bath?

A.Never. B.Every day.

C.Frequently. D.Once in a while.

【2】What does “It” refer to in Paragraph 2?

A.Soap-dodging. B.Taking a shower.

C.Washing hair. D.The washing habit.

【3】What are the statistics in Paragraph 3 about?

A.Deodorant variety. B.British teenagers.

C.Bathing habits. D.Shower products.

【4】Why does Nigel Hamerstone limit his showers to twice a week?

A.To save his time. B.To avoid the trouble.

C.To save water resources. D.To cut the cost of living.

24、The outbreak of the novel corona virus pneumonia (NCP) has disrupted the lives and work of nearly every Chinese person. However, a new trend has been on the rise: many have turned themselves into livestreaming users or followers.

According to Questmobile, a professional big data intelligence services provider in China, the audience for Douyin, Kuaishou and other livestreaming platforms surged to 574 million during the Spring Festival holiday, up 35 percent from 2019.

Confined at home, away from their friends and loved ones, people turn to livestreaming to reach out to the world. For them livestreaming can help them share their lives and interest with a global audience, which will give them the sense of being “in the moment”. Even as viewers, they can also engage immediately with livestreamers by commenting and making suggestions.

“When I comment on the livestreaming videos, I’m not simply an audience member, but also an active part of the program. That gives me a sense of engagement,” an Internet user   named Wang Hao told People’s Daily.

Livestreaming is not only for fun, but also a new tool for many businesses. Affected by the pandemic, many businesses had to stop their sales in physical stores. To meet their business   goals and survive during these trying times, many chose to livestream to revive their businesses.

Joyoung, a leading maker of small kitchen appliances, is a good example. The company not only added a number of broadcasts each day to advertise their products, but also shared   the menus that were beneficial to health. “The responses to our livestreaming shows have been well beyond expectations,” Kang Li, who oversees the company’s livestreaming unit, told China daily. “It’s a natural opportunity to truly bond with our followers.”

Like it or not, livestreaming is likely to go mainstream in China for both entertainment and business.

【1】What is the purpose of writing the second paragraph?

A．To introduce some popular livestreaming platforms in China.

B．To report data on the development of livestreaming in 2019.

C．To show that Chinese people spend too much time on livestreaming apps.

D．To prove that livestreaming are becoming increasingly popular in China.

【2】What does Wang Hao think of commenting on livestreaming?

A．It is boring to make comments.

B．It is the only way to share viewers’ lives.

C．It makes people feel involved in the stream.

B．Many businesses turned to livestreaming platform for marketing.

C．Livestreaming platforms faced challenges during the pandemic.

D．Livestreaming platforms made changes to their services.

【4】How does the author feel about the future of livestreaming？

C．Disappointed.

D．Confused.

25、   Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are ______ —a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and ______ language, and throw new light on an old scientific ______: whether language, ______ with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a ______ behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the ______ work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D. C., the world’s only liberal arts university for deaf people.

When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something ______; among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher.

Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural ______, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the “hand ______” his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that language be ______ any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people ___________ their signing as “substandard”. Stokoe’s idea was academic heresy – a belief contrary to what was generally accepted.

It is 37 years later. Stokoe—now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture—is having lunch at a cafe near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a(n) ______. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages ______ English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of ______. “What I said,” Stokoe explains, “is that language is not mouth stuff(素材)—it’s ______ stuff.”
