21、In a grey office building of Helsinki a social worker is meeting six elderly people from around town for lunch- via tablets on heir kitchen table. For the next half-hour she talks to them about their day and reminds them to have something to drink, because dehydration is particularly dangerous for older people.

The virtual lunch group is part of Helsinki's remote-care program for its elderly. While many counties with large elderly populations are building new care homes. Finland is not planning to do so and, instead, is looking after people in their own homes for longer. The guiding principle in Finland is that for anyone, no matter what their age. “home is best”.

In Helsinki's home -care program about 4, 000 old people are equipped with various safety devices. These include wristbands with GPS, a fall detector and a phone line linked to care workers who monitor the wearer' s location on their computer screens. Most of the old people are too weak to walk about much, so they rarely leave their homes. But if they venture out in the middle of the night, care workers are to find them. Local tech companies have developed systems that use a network of motion sensors to gather data on things like how much a person moves about, visits the bathroom or opens the fridge. Not opening the fridge as much, for example, is a sign that memory problems may be getting worse.

Technology sometimes misfires. Wristbands give out the wrong location, setting off false alarms. A sensor may fail because Grandpa covers a towel over it. Some elderly people forget to charge their tablets. Such problems can be fixed. The biggest gain from technology may be that it makes it easier to keep old people fit enough to remain in their own homes for longer. This is much cheaper than an institution, and usually nicer, too.

【1】What does the underlined word “dehydration” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A．Talking less.

B．Eating alone.

C．Watching their tablets.

D．Losing too much water.

【2】Why does Finland carry out the “remote-care program”?

A．To build more lunch groups.

B．To make the old stay at home.

C．To guide elderly people to care homes.

D．To care for the old in their own homes.

【3】What is the function of motion sensors?

A．To find the missing old people.

B．To monitor the wearer’s location.

C．To collect the wearers' activity data.

D．To check people's memory problems.

【4】What may cause technology to fail?

A．Grandpa uses a towel.

B．The tablets are out of power.

C．Wristbands send out an alarm.

D．The elderly forget their location.

23、   Some houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects.

Located on the shore of Sullivan’s Island off the coast of South Carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane Hugo a few years ago. Hugo struck Soutii Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state.

Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina’s shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement of building codes wasn’t strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugo’s wake, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced codes. The new beach house on Sullivan’s Island should be able to withstand a Category 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour.

At first sight, the house on Sullivan’s Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood shell makes it resemble “a large party lantern” at night, according to one observer. But looks can be deceiving. The housed wooden frame is reinforced with long steel rods to give it extra strength.

To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber (木材) pilings — long, slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also elevate the house above storm surges. The pilings allow the surges to run under the house instead of running into it. “These swells of water come ashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings,” said Huff.

Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially concealed (隐藏) by the house’s ground-to-roof shell. “The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesn’t look like it’s standing with its pant legs pulled up,” said Huff. In the event of a storm surge, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained.

【1】The award-winning beach house is quite strong because ________.

A.it is strengthened by steel rods B.it is made of redwood

C.it is in the shape of a shell D.it is built with timber and concrete

【2】Huff raised the house 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings in order to ________.

A.withstand peak winds of about 200 km/hr

B.anchor stronger pilings deep in the sand

C.break huge sea waves into smaller ones

D.prevent water from rushing into the house

【3】The main function of the shell is ________.

A.to strengthen the pilings of the house

B.to give the house a better appearance

C.to protect the wooden frame of the house

D.to slow down the speed of the swelling water

【4】It can be inferred from the passage that the shell should be ________.

A.fancy-looking B.waterproof

C.easily breakable D.extremely strong

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

A Girl with Stage Fright

It was obviously going to be one of those days. Students were preparing for a singing contest actively. Paul, a music teacher, made comments on the students' performance at the end of a rehearsal（彩排）. A girl named Lisa did the poorest preparation. Paul was very annoyed and entirely frustrated with her. He doesn't recall how he closed the rehearsal, but he's sure the words he chose were not words that would lift the girl's spirits but rather satisfy his selfish need to punish her for the poor performance.

The moment Paul dismissed the students, Lisa, the very reserved freshman girl, made a path straight toward him. She looked him right in the eye and said, "I hate you!" Paul was taken aback and frightened by the passion and honesty in her voice. Though entirely shocked, he was somehow able to collect himself and stay calm. He looked her right in the eye and said, "Well, that's a shame, but it's my duty to remind you and inspire you. " She didn't react, but rather stormed away, her anger unchanged.

Several days later, they had the occasion to speak in private. Lisa asked if Paul remembered the time she told him that she hated him. How could he forget? She went on to admit quite openly and honestly that it was herself, not him, who she hated. The moment got heavy and she began to tell him of her fear and pressure when standing on the stage. She believed that no matter how well she prepared, she would perform terribly on the stage. Paul became aware that she had serious stage fright and also realized that maybe he had done something improper several days ago. Then he talked to her patiently and sincerely, hoping to help her build the confidence.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

The day before the contest, she was practising for the singing competition alone.
