21、What it does

The self-cleaning door handle is combining with advanced photocatalytic ( 光 催 化 ) and blacklight technology. A light source activates the door’s handle coating, telling it to start cleaning. It can minimize the risk of infection by contact and improve the cleanliness of a space.

How it works

The working principle of the product is that a thin advanced photocatalytic coating can effectively decompose bacteria ( 细 菌 ) on the surface of a substance. A consistent UV light source—inside a transparent glass door handle—is required to activate the door’s handle coating on the outer surface for disinfection, so a generator is used to provide electricity to light up a UV LED lamp by the motion of an opening and closing door. Then, the door handle can clean by itself.

Design process

We made the first version by using stainless steel. However, it caused the door handle to be heavier. Then, we tried aluminum, which made it light and easy to fix. We also improved the generator output which effectively turned energy from door movement into a light source.

How it is different

Our innovative design is simple, effective, and attractive. It has an elegant smooth shape, and its minimalist appearance stands out in today’s world of inventions. Nowadays, people use chemical cleaning materials to clean up public areas but it harms the human body. Our design can be used for a long time and is effective. It can self-clean after each use. In the door lock and door handle market, it is a unique design because there are no similar products.

Future plans

In the future, we will commercialize the product and hope that it can compete on the market with similar products. We are going to connect with public properties, for example, shopping malls, hotels, hospitals and public restrooms, where the risk of spreading infection is higher.

Awards

In addition to winning the James Dyson Award, it has also received the Gold Award, and in 2016, it was featured in the 44th International Geneva Inventions Exhibition.

【1】How does the self-cleaning door handle function?

A．It controls the door movement automatically.

B．It minimizes the risk of infection by less contact.

C．Chemical cleaning materials are used to clean it up.

D．The light source tells the door handle coating to clean itself.

【2】Compared with the first version of the product, the present one is ______.

A．safer and cheaper

B．cleaner and easier

C．less heavy and more effective

D．more attractive and expensive

【3】What do we know about the new invention according to the passage?

A．It has been widely used in public areas.

B．It has received recognition for its innovation.

C．It is quite competitive among similar products.

D．It will replace traditional chemical cleaning materials.

22、A British woman is celebrating after going a year without buying anything she doesn’t need to help the planet’s oceans.

Last December Becky Dell was inspired by the David Attenborough show Blue Planet to do her bit to help the environment. The Londoner decided to only buy food, drink and basic toiletries (洗漱用品) in 2019. Writing on Twitter Becky said she watched, with shame, plastic floating in the oceans and wondered how much was hers.

Therefore, aside from mascara (睫毛膏) , Becky did not buy anything she didn’t need. That meant “no clothes, shoes, presents, other makeup, hair products, jewellery, bags, decorations, plants, flowers, house items etc.”

Becky says that January to August were actually quite easy. And the money that she saved from not spending would be given to a selection of charities and grassroots organizations. Near the end of the year she ended up saving and donating £1,621.69, a sum far beyond her expectations.

But there were times when emergencies meant she had to buy something. On Twitter she said: “I bought 12 things during the year, for example, a new jacket when my zip broke while I was climbing a mountain, a couple of essential things for my very elderly cats and a couple of essential house items. Each one made me really annoyed!”

Happily, friends and family understood her challenge and supported her decision. And there were some things she really missed. Becky wrote, “The thing I missed the most was buying plants and flowers because I love nature. Solutions were growing flowers from seed (harder than it sounds but I tried!) and getting cuttings from friends (lovely thing to do). I now have rhubarb growing!”

【1】What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?

A．Belly would not buy anything unnecessary.

B．Belly was ashamed of her previous behavior.

C．What caused Belly to challenge herself.

D．The show Blue Planet was really touching.

【2】What can we infer from the process of Belly’s challenge?

A．She didn’t buy anything for a whole year.

B．It wasn’t always easy to stick to her decision.

C．She donated all her savings to charities.

D．The money saved lived up to her expectations.

【3】How did Belly feel when she had to buy things in emergencies?

A．Angry.

B．Calm.

C．Relaxed.

D．Delighted.

【4】What did Belly do when she missed buying flowers?

A．She asked friends to grow flowers for her.

B．She just bought some once in a while.

C．Her family sent her some flowers at times.

D．She raised flowers from seeds herself.

23、   Wolfsheim returned to me (Nick, narrator of the story).

“I understand you are looking for a business connection,” he said.

Gatsby answered for me, “No, this isn’t the man. He’s just a friend. We’ll talk about that another time”.

“I’m sorry. I made a mistake.” He seemed disappointed.

Our food arrived and Mr Wolfsheim started to eat hungrily. Gatsby leaned towards me. “I’m sorry, old sport. I think I made you angry this morning.”

“I don’t like mysteries,” I replied coldly. “Why did you involve Miss Baker? Can’t you tell me yourself?”

“Oh, she doesn’t mind,” he said.

Then he looked at his watch, jumped up suddenly and hurried from the room.

“He has to telephone,” Wolfsheim explained. He followed Gatsby with his eyes. “A handsome man and a perfect gentleman, isn’t he?”

“Yes.”

“He is an Oxford man.”

“Oh.”

“He went to Oxford College in England. Do you know it?”

“I’ve heard of it.”

“It’s one of the most famous colleges in the world.”

“Have you known Gatsby long?” I enquired.

“For several years,” he answered. “I met him just after the war. After talking to him for an hour, I knew he was a gentleman---the kind of man you would introduce to your mother, or your sister.”

“Yes.”

“Yeah, Gatsby’s careful about women. He would never look at a friend’s wife.”

When Gatsby returned, Wolfsheim drank his coffee and got up. “I enjoyed my lunch,” he said, “but now I’m going to leave you two young men together.”

“Don’t hurry, Meyer!” Gatsby said, but there was no enthusiasm in his voice.

“You’re very polite, but I’m an old man,” Wolfsheim replied. “You stay here and discuss your sports and ladies.”

After he had left, Gatsby said, “Everyone in New York knows him.”

“Is he an actor?”

“No, Meyer Wolfsheim’s a gambler.” Gatsby hesitated, then added coolly, “He’s the man who fixed the World Series in 1919.”

I was shocked. I had never imagined that only one man was responsible for cheating fifty million people.

“How did he do that?” I asked.

“He just saw an opportunity.”

“Why isn’t he in jail?”

“They can’t get him, old sport. He’s a smart man.”

【1】What impression of Gatsby is Mr. Wolfsheim trying to give Nick?

A.Dangerous and should never be trusted.

B.On the edge of bankruptcy with bad investment

C.Interested in politics other than anything else

D.A gentleman who is worthy of people’s trust

【2】What do you think the relationship between Gatsby and Wolfsheim is?

A.Business partners. B.Relatives.

C.Neighbours. D.Friends.

【3】Which of the following word can be used to describe Gatsby’s attitude to Wolfsheim?

A.positive B.supportive

C.appreciative D.sensitive

24、If you want to memorize something quickly and thoroughly, repetition won’t cut it【1】Below are some universal steps to mastering the art of recalling so that you can start memorizing a ton of data in a short amount of time.

Make preparations.

Pay close attention to which environment you choose. For most people, this means choosing an area with few distractions. Figure out what is most beneficial to your learning so that you can get started. Next, start drinking some tea.【2】.

Record what you’re memorizing.

This is especially useful if you’re trying to memorize information from a lecture. Use a tape recorder to track all of the acquired facts being spoken and listen to it. If you’re trying to memorize a speech, record yourself reading the speech aloud and listen to yourself speaking.

【3】.

Before you start trying to recall everything from memory, write and re-write the information. Now that you have everything written down in one set of notes, separate them into sections. You can use color coding to differentiate between subjects. This will help you become more familiar with what you’re trying to memorize.

Apply repetition to accumulated memorization.

【4】. As you memorize each set of text, accumulate it by adding the new information to what you’ve just learned. This will keep everything within your short-term memory from fading. Keep doing this until you have memorized that section and you are able to recall the entire thing. Do not move on to another section until you have memorized that one completely.

Teach it to someone (or yourself ).

The most effective method for me when I was in school was to teach the information to someone else. 【5】. If what you’ve learned needs to be recited literally, then do this in front of someone as well in order to get a feel for what it will be like to recite the text to the intended audience.

Take a break.

Finally, let your mind breathe. Go for a short time without thinking about what you just learned and come back to it later on. You’ll find out what you really know, of course, and this will help you focus on the sections you might be weakest at.

A．Recall entire sections.

B．However, recalling something will.

C．Write everything down and section your notes.

D．You can lecture the knowledge to someone sitting right in front of you.

E．For each line of text, repeat it a few times and try to recall it without looking.

F．While doing unrelated tasks, go over the information by listening to your tape recordings.

G．Many scientific studies have confirmed green tea as a natural fuel for improving memory.

25、   Despite the fact I had never traveled anywhere alone before, I told vague (模糊的) plans to my parents about going around Europe. Then I _________ the road, carrying a backpack with a random (随意的) selection of T-shirts inside, and _________ $100 in the pocket.

As I traveled south through the great European cities of Paris, Barcelona and Madrid, not typically _________ the abundance (大量) of fields, I could _________ money by camping. In Madrid, I still remember exploring around an art museum and eating more _________ cheese sandwiches.

Then I boarded a train and _________ south again, this time to _________, a historic city that’s home to the _________ Alhambra Palace.

No banks would be open, and once again I was __________ cash or anywhere to stay. What happened next remains till this day one of the most __________ things I have ever experienced.

When I told a young student I had been __________ on the train about my trouble, she invited me to stay with the Spanish pen pals she was visiting in Granada. She had never even met them before, but when she asked if I could __________ my tent in their garden, they instead welcomed me into their apartment and offered me a sofa to sleep on. Not only that, but __________ the next three nights, they fed me, bought me beers, acted as my tour guide, but __________ any attempt to pay them back when the banks __________ on my final day in the town.

Now I’m still __________ by the extent of their hospitality (好客). Over the years since, I’ve tried to __________ the same to others. Even so, I can’t imagine I would ever let a 24-year-old version of me into my home, not to mention __________.
