21、You never see him, but they're with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to withstand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. They're known as the black box.

When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine (潜水艇) detected the device's homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.

In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane – the area least subject to impact – from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.

Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots' conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft's final moments. Placed in an insulated ( 隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000℉. When submerged, they're also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say they're still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane's black boxes were never recovered.

【1】 In Paragraph 1，the author wants to say the black box_________.

A. is an necessary device on an airplane

B. comes from a comic book

C. can prevent disasters

D. can control the function of an airplane

【2】Why was the black box redesigned in 1965?

A. New materials became available by that time.

B.The early models often got damaged in the crash.

C.Too much space was needed for its device.

D. The early models didn't provide the needed data.

【3】 The black boxes were painted orange or yellow to_________.

A. distinguish them from the colour of the plane.

B. warn people to handle them with care

C. make them easily identified.

D. obey the international standards.

【4】What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447?

A. There is still a good chance of their being recovered.

B. There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed.

C. They have stopped sending homing signals.

D. They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil.

22、   Amazon’s chief executive officer, Jeff Bezos, refused to address employees’ demands that the company take action on the climate crisis at its annual shareholder meeting.

About 50 members of the group Amazon Employees for Climate Justice attended the event, representing 7,700 staffers who signed a letter publicly urging Amazon to change its climate policy. Employees put forth a proposal (提议) at the meeting requesting a public report on climate change from Amazon’s board (董事会) of directors. The board suggested shareholders vote against it, and it was not passed.

After the proposal failed to pass, employees attempted to meet Jeff Bezos, who refused to meet with them.

“Jeff remained off-stage, ignored the employees and would not speak to them. Jeff’s inaction and lack of meaningful response indicated his dismissal of the climate crisis,” the group said in a statement after the event.

At a press conference following the shareholder meeting, the employees suggested Amazon should put forth a timeline for reaching a zero emission (排放) goal.

“Amazon has the scale and resources to spark the world’s imagination and lead the way on addressing the climate crisis. What we’re missing is the leadership from the very top of the company,” said Jamie Kowalski, a software engineer who co-filed the resolution and attended the shareholder meeting.

The proposal noted that other tech giants have released reports on their contributions to climate change and have committed to addressing concerns. Microsoft has been carbon neutral (碳中和), meaning it balances its carbon emissions with carbon removal. Google has been carbon neutral since 2007.

A spokesman from Amazon confirmed that none of the shareholder proposals outlined ahead of the vote were passed, including the request for a report on climate change. The employee group said in the press conference that the board’s standpoint on the proposal made it difficult to pass. They said they would continue to pressure Amazon.

【1】Why wasn’t the proposal from employees passed?

A.The board wasn’t in favour of it.

B.They didn’t provide all the details.

C.Some workers didn’t sign their names.

D.They didn’t seek Jeff Bezos’ approval first.

【2】What does the underlined word “dismissal” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.Having curiosity. B.Having confidence.

C.Lack of attention. D.Lack of experience.

【3】What’s Jamie Kowalski’s attitude to Jeff Bezos?

A.Confused. B.Unconcerned.

C.Supportive. D.Disappointed.

【4】Why did the proposal mention Microsoft and Google?

A.To show other companies have taken action.

B.To show Amazon will follow other companies.

C.To show all companies are facing great pressure.

D.To show big companies care less about the environment.

23、I’m retiring from teaching and will enjoy family life with my wife and grandchildren. Recalling my teaching career, I have a lot to share, but one thing is for sure: Teachers learn just as much from students as students learn from teachers. Here are a few of the things I have learned in my job.

Roger was physically and mentally delayed. About once a month, we would have a dance in our classroom. Roger was awkward and ashamed when it came to asking a girl to dance with him. But once, I noticed that Roger was slow dancing with Leah, one of the most popular girls in the class.He had the biggest smile on his face. The next day, when Roger left my classroom to work with his support teacher, I praised Leah for inviting Roger to dance. That simple act of including him in a slow dance was such a great move. At our next dance, Roger asked Leah and every girl in the class to dance. No one turned him down. Leah taught me about the kindness of a simple act and its great effect.

It was Serena who showed us what bravery was about. Serena was our play’s narrator (旁白员). She was scared she would forget her lines. “If you do,” I advised, “pause, stare at the audience and take time to remember. The audience will think it’s part of the play.” Halfway through the opening night, Serena forgot her lines. She stared out at the 300 people gathered in the gym. After what seemed like forever, Serena remembered. After the performance, she burst into tears backstage, thinking she had let everybody down. When our principal came back to congratulate our cast, she turned to Serena and said her pause worked so well. Little did she know about Serena’s little act of bravery.

Teachers spend hours making lessons to teach skills and knowledge. We adjust lessons, keep the good and throw out the bad. A good teacher listens to and learns from students and often it has nothing to do with the curriculum.

【1】How did Roger feel in the class dance at first?

A．Embarrassed.

B．Surprised.

C．Confident.

D．Delighted.

【2】Which of the following words can best describe Leah?

A．Creative and funny.

B．Clever and brave.

C．Humorous and patient.

D．Kind and likeable.

【3】Why did Serena cry after the performance?

A．She felt she had disappointed others.

B．She was praised for her good performance.

C．She was blamed for saying the wrong lines.

D．She was extremely happy she had finished the task.

【4】What does the author want to express in this passage?

A．He is proud of being a teacher.

B．Students should be kind and brave.

C．He is unwilling to retire from teaching.

D．Teachers should also learn from students.

24、   Despite the negative international headlines that have hit Huawei over the past few months, its consumer business continues to thrive. The Chinese technology giant replaced Apple as the second­largest smartphone player by global market share last year. It's firmly the biggest vendor(销售商) in China.

Chinese consumers say they've been attracted to Huawei's newest features, the price points and the fact that it's a domestic brand.“Using Huawei's mobile phones is supporting domestic brands. We hope our brands can go international，” Vikey, a Guangzhou­based Huawei user, told CNBC. She added that Huawei phones are “cost­effective” and have good features while iPhones are “more of a trend”. One of the key features that Huawei introduced was a triple­lens camera on its P20 Pro, which was launched last year.

For the next 12 months, the iPhone lacks one of the most appealing features of current winners in the Chinese smartphone market, the triple­lens camera. The Huawei P20 Pro led the march.

Retailers (零销售) are slashing (大幅消减) iPhone prices across China as consumers say the phones aren't worth the cost. Apple's latest iPhone models are facing huge discounts in China as retailers try to sell the struggling devices. That comes as the top­of­the­line Apple smartphones have posted poor China sales on what experts say are too­high prices for the world's largest smartphone market and a lack of innovative features compared to local competitors like Huawei. The technology giant itself acknowledged earlier this month that unexpectedly low sales in the Chinese market would likely lead to worse­ than ­anticipated first quarter profits.

One of the most recent iPhone cost cuts in the country came from Suning, a large Chinese retailer, which changed the price of the 128GB version of the iPhone XR from 6,999 yuan to 5,799 yuan — a 1,200 yuan discount.

Other retailers in China are also putting their iPhones on sale. Sunion, an Apple reseller, was advertising 700 yuan off for both the 128GB and 256GB versions of the iPhone XR. E­commerce site Pinduoduo, which allows third­parties to sell products, also had hefty(很大的) discounts across all of the latest iPhone models.

【1】What does the underlined word “thrive” probably mean in the first paragraph?

A.Reduce. B.Remain.

C.Threaten. D.Increase.

【2】Which of the following is one of the Huawei's characters?

A.More of a trend. B.Cost­effective.

C.Too­high prices. D.A lack of innovative features.

【3】Which of the following is a medium?

A.Suning. B.Sunion.

C.CNBC. D.Pinduoduo.

【4】What can we infer from the text?

A.Updating of technology counts.

B.Advertising of the products matters.

C.The sale strategy is invisible.

D.The iPhone still leads the trend in China.
