21、As night falls on the streets of Shanghai, Mikiko Chen can often be found pacing up and down through the winding narrow streets of the city hunting for discarded items.

“I pick up all sorts of things, chairs, wine boxes, bowls and cups. . . it’s like treasure hunting for me, “she says. The 27-year-old digital marketer is among the first adopters of “stooping” in China, a practice that refers to picking up discarded furniture and other goods on the streets for re-use. She says the concept “stooping” was inspired by New Yorkers who often leave unwanted things on the “stoops” —or doorsteps—leading up to the entrances of buildings.

“The core concept of stooping for me is to make the best use of things,” Ms. Chen says. “It can help you to save money, but it’s not just about lowering consumption.” “It’s wasteful to throw away something that’s still usable; it’s better to share it with others who need it.”

Ms. Chen says she was among the first to use the hashtag (话题标签) #stooping on Xiaohongshu. “I initially started with posting items that people no longer used and wanted to throw away or exchange . . gradually I’m receiving hundreds of messages each day,” she says. Since then, the trend has become increasingly popular.

Ms. Chen says she is “very surprised” the concept has become a hit on social media, as older generations often stigmatize picking up things from the street or using second-hand goods. “People like my mum consider stooping as ‘rubbish picking’ and ‘scavenging’ (拾荒),” she says. “She thinks that people will look down on you for doing this.”

For Nan Zheng, an environmentalist and advocate, stooping is more than the physical act of picking up things from the streets. He created an app called “Grecycle” where people can give away or take unwanted items for free. “I think we can let more people know about the concept of stooping as an interesting and fun thing to do,” Mr. Nan says. “But then, gradually we can let people know this can also be about charity and helping others.”

【1】What can we learn about Mikiko Chen from paragraph 2 and 3?

A．She is hunting for costly treasures.

B．She just wants to reduce consumption.

C．She got inspiration from New Yorkers.

D．She intends to make the most of throwaway items.

【2】Why did Mikiko Chen use the hashtag #stooping on Xiaohongshu?

A．To collect varieties of messages.

B．To go viral on social media.

C．To share something still usable with others.

D．To throw away unwanted things on the “stoops”.

【3】What does the underlined part in paragraph 5 probably mean?

A．The older are ashamed of stooping.

B．The older are skilled at stooping.

C．The older are exposed to stooping.

D．The older are addicted to stooping

【4】What is Nan Zheng’s true intention of creating the app “Grecycle”?

A．Recycling discarded things from the streets.

B．Getting unwanted items for free on “Grecycle”.

C．Exchanging items through “Grecycle”.

D．Enhancing people’s awareness of charity.

22、Are you preparing for a big test? If so, you may want to go play some basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels (血管), including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron claims this allows people who exercise to concentrate better. As she says, “while we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can really cause physical changes in the brain.”

The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. With babies, even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a doctor, also believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in elementary school or high school can be traced back to a lack of movement as babies. “Babies need movement that encourages and excites their five senses. They need to establish a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to connect physical activity with higher learning,” says Margaret.

Older people can develop their brains as well. Columbia University studied a group of seniors who have a short-term memory of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for older people should not be too simple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tai-chi, helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main goal is to increase the brain’s flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.

【1】What is the main idea of this reading?

A．How to exercise.

B．How exercise helps the brain.

C．How to get good scores on a test.

D．How the brain can change.

【2】According to the reading, what is the connection between exercise and brain development?

A．Exercise helps make our blood vessels.

B．The brain needs special mental exercise.

C．The more exercise, the bigger the brain is.

D．Physical exercise helps us think better.

【3】The smallest amount of exercise required to gain any benefit is .

A．three hours per week

B．40 hours per week

C．three hours per day

D．40 hours per month

【4】Why is yoga recommended for seniors?

A．It is easy to remember.

B．It can be done in groups.

C．It does not increase the heart rate.

D．It includes learning new motions.

23、Babies born in summer are more likely to become short-sighted in late life, a study has shown.

As many as a quarter of all cases of short-sightedness are caused by too great an exposure to sunlight in the first weeks of life, say eye experts.

They are advising all parents to put sunglasses on their babies during the first weeks.

Scientists had already established that over-exposure to sunlight caused shortsightedness in animals.

Researchers who compared the months in which babies were born with whether they needed glasses later on say the principle also applies to humans.

A study of almost 300,000 young adults-the largest of its kind-showed that those born in June and July had a 25 per cent greater chance of becoming severely short-sighted than those born in December or January.

Research leader Professor Michael Belkin, of Tel Aviv University, said it was because prolonged illumination(光照) causes the eyeball to lengthen-causing short-sightedness.

Hence the more light a newborn is exposed to, the more the eyeball lengthens and the worse the short-sightedness will be.

The mechanism which lengthens the eyeball is associated with levels of melatonin(褪黑激素), a pigment (色素) which protects the skin against harmful rays of the sun.

In young babies not enough melatonin is released as protection, meaning they are more _____to sunburn and changes to eyeball shape.

Sight expert Professor Daniel O’Leary, of Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, said “At the moment we don’t know the precise cause of why light exposure affects sight, but the evidence seems to prove that it is one of the reasons for people becoming shortsighted.”

【1】Babies born in summer are more likely to be shortsighted ____________.

A．because the summer sun is too strong for babies

B．because babies born in summer have lengthened eyeballs

C．if they are exposed too much sunlight in the first weeks after they are born

D．if parents don’t know a proper way to protect their babies’ eyes

【2】Melatonin is a kind of material to ___________.

A．prevent the eyes from becoming near-sighted

B．protect the skin from harmful sun rays

C．make our body strong

D．protect babies’ eyes from summer sun

【3】From what Professor Daniel O’Leary says we can conclude that ___________.

A．there is no evidence that shortsightedness is related to exposure to sunlight

B．whether light exposure affects sight still needs to be further proved

C．he believes that light exposure can cause shortsightedness

D．he tries to give the cause of why light exposure affects sight

【4】The underlined word “vulnerable” in the passage probably means __________.

A．easy to be harmed

B．resistant

C．protective

D．changeable

24、   Smartphones are our constant companions. For many of us, their glowing screens are a ubiquitous (十分普遍的) presence, drawing us in with endless distractions. They are in our hands as soon as we wake, and command our attention until the final moments before we fall asleep.

Steve Jobs would not approve.

In 2007, Jobs took the stage and introduced the world to the iPhone. If you watch the full speech, you will be surprised by how he imagined our relationship should be with this iconic invention. This vision is so different from the way most of us use these devices now.

In his remarks, Jobs spent an extended amount of time demonstrating how the device utilized (应用) the touch screen before detailing the many ways Apple engineers had improved the age-old process of making phone calls. It’s the best iPod we’ve ever made,” Jobs exclaimed at one point. “The killer app is making calls,” he later added. Both lines drew thunderous applause.

The presentation confirms that Jobs imagined a simpler iPhone experience than the one we actually have more than a decade later. For example, there was no App Store when the iPhone was first introduced, and this was by design. Jobs was convinced that the phone’s carefully-designed native features were enough. He did not seek to completely change the rhythm of users’ daily lives. He simply wanted to take experiences we had already found important－listening to music, placing calls, generating directions－and make them better.

The minimalist (简约主义者) vision for the iPhone Jobs offered in 2007 is unrecognizable today－and that is a shame.

Under what I call the “constant companion model,” we now see our smartphones as always-on portals (通道) to information. We have become so used to it over the past decade that it is easy to forget the novelty (新奇之处) of the device. It seems increasingly clear to me that Jobs probably got it right from the very beginning: Many of us would be better-off returning to his original minimalist vision for our phones.

Practically speaking, to be a minimalist smartphone user means only using your device for a small number of features that do things of value to you. Otherwise, you simply put it away outside of these activities. This approach dethrones (废黜) this device from the position of a constant companion down to a luxury object, such as a fancy bike, that gives you great pleasure when you use it but does not dominate your entire day.

Early in his 2007 keynote, Jobs said, “Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone.” What he didn’t add, however, was the follow-up promise: “Tomorrow we’re going to reinvent your life.” The smartphone is fantastic, but it was never meant to be the foundation for a new form of existence.

If you return this innovation to its original role, you will get more out of both your phone and your life.

【1】The underlined word “it” in the last but two paragraphs probably refers to   .

A.information B.the smartphone

C.the always-on portal D.the constant companion model

【2】According to Steve Jobs, what was the main selling point of Apple’s first iPhone?

A.It allowed the users to have access to the internet.

B.It was actually an iPod that could make phone calls.

C.It was installed with applications by third-party developers.

D.It could fulfill people’s desire to multitask in their daily lives.

【3】According to the article, a minimalist smartphone user tends to   .

A.expect to reinvent his life with the device

B.buy the latest model of iPhone and see it as a luxury

C.remove all the unnecessary applications from the device

D.spend more time working than playing with his device

【4】The author’s purpose in writing the article is to   .

A.tell readers why Steve Job created the iPhone

B.remind readers not to be addicted to their smartphones

C.show readers that smartphones can greatly change our lives

D.encourage readers to block internet access on their smartphones
