21、If you’re a pasta (面食) lover, then you know there’re fat noodles, round noodles, shells, and many, many more. Some of these pastas, like ordinary spaghetti, pack easily into small box or package. But others require much larger boxes or bags because of their hard 3D shapes.

Now a team of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Zhejiang University has figured out a way that pasta can be packed flat, like sticks of gum in a package, and still form fancy 3D shapes once cooked.

Lining Yao who leads the “Morphing Matter Lab” says the team admires flat-pack furniture sold by IKEA that comes tightly packed in a box, but then can be built into a large piece of furniture which takes up a much greater amount of space.

To bring the flat-pack idea to the pasta world, the researchers used computers to help them plan their groove (凹槽) patterns and stamped grooves in the pasta. “The groove side expands less than the smooth side, leading the pasta to change into shape,” explains Teng Zhang, one of the researchers. But knowing where to make them is the trick. By doing that, the researchers are able to fix the shape of the pasta in the end.

Professor Yao has also worked to make noodles fold before, by adding something special that could be eaten to the surface of the pasta. This time, though, the pasta is made with just the right amount of flour and water, and the only things affecting the shape are the grooves.

The new pasta tastes just like ordinary pasta once it is cooked. Meanwhile, this method does not affect the pasta production speed and preservation time. The team hopes their new method will help us in two ways. Like flat-pack furniture, it should take up less space when it’s being transported, which is much easier on the environment. The pasta should also require much less packaging, meaning far less plastic waste.

【1】What do we know about pastas from Paragraph 1?

A．They come in different shapes.

B．They are not easy to transport.

C．They need to be packed strictly.

D．They are only kept in large boxes.

【2】What inspired the researchers to make the flat pasta?

A．The ways of cooking the pasta.

B．The style of gum in a package.

C．The furniture design from IKEA.

D．The 3D shapes after it’s cooked.

【3】How did the researchers control the final shape of the pasta?

A．By applying the computer apps.

B．By making grooves in right spots.

C．By adding the right amount of four.

D．By coating it with something special.

【4】What is the researchers’ final purpose in creating the flat-pack pasta?

A．To produce it more easily.

B．To get it more tasty.

C．To keep it longer.

D．To make it greener.

23、   It was a dark autumn night. The old banker was walking up and down his study and remembering how, one autumn evening fifteen years before, he had given a party.

There had been many clever men, and they had talked of capital punishment. The majority disapproved of the death penalty (死刑). They considered it immoral and ought to be replaced by imprisonment for life. “I don't agree,” said the banker, “the death penalty is more moral than imprisonment for life. Capital punishment kills a man at once, but lifelong imprisonment kills him slowly.” Among the guests was a young lawyer, a young man of twenty-five. When asked, he said, “if I have to choose between the death penalty and imprisonment for life, I would certainly choose the second. It’s better to live somehow than not to live at all.”

The banker struck the table with his fist and shouted at the young man, “It’s not true! I’ll bet you two millions—you wouldn’t stay in a cell (小牢房) even for five years.”

“If you mean it seriously,” said the young man, “I’ll take the bet, but I would stay not five but fifteen years.”

“Fifteen? Done!” cried the banker, “Gentlemen, I stake (下注) two millions!”

“Agreed! _______!” said the young man. And this wild, senseless bet was carried out!

And now the banker, walking to and from, asked himself, “What is the object of that bet? What is the good of that man’s losing fifteen years of his life and my throwing away two millions?” Then he remembered what followed that evening. It was decided that the young man should spend the years of his imprisonment under the strictest supervision, in a lodge (小屋) in the banker’s house. He shouldn’t be free to go out, to see human beings, or to hear the human voice. He was only allowed to have some books. The agreement restricted the young man there exactly fifteen years. The slightest attempt on his part to break the rules—if only two minutes before the end—released the banker from the obligation (义务) to pay him the two millions.

For the first year of his imprisonment, the prisoner suffered severely from loneliness and depression. The books he sent for were novels with a complicated love plot, fantastic stories, and so on. In the second year, the prisoner asked only for the classics. In the fifth year, he did not read books. More than once he could be heard crying. In the sixth year, the prisoner began enthusiastically studying languages, philosophy, and history. In the last two years, the prisoner read a large quantity of books. At one time he was busy with the natural sciences, then he would ask for Byron or Shakespeare.

The old banker remembered all this, and thought, “Tomorrow at twelve o’clock he will regain his freedom, and I ought to pay him two millions. If I do pay him, it’s all over with me.” Fifteen years before, his millions had been beyond his imagination; now he was in great debt.

“Cursed bet!” cried the old man in despair, “The only way out for me is that the man should die.”

The clock had just struck three. The banker felt his way in the darkness into the lodge. He struck a match. Not a soul was there! Only a letter! A letter from the prisoner!

“Tomorrow at twelve o’clock I’ll regain my freedom. For fifteen years I have diligently studied earthly life. Your books gave me wisdom...To prove to you in action how I despise (鄙视) all that you live by, I waive (宣布放弃) the two millions, which I once dreamed of as paradise and which now I despise. I shall go out from here five hours before the fixed time, and so break the agreement...”

【1】Why was the old banker walking up and down his study at a dark autumn night?

A.He couldn’t wait to see the lawyer.

B.He was too excited about the result of the bet.

C.He feared that he would lose a lot of money because of the bet.

D.He was concerned about the possibility that the young man would run away.

【2】Which of the following might help complete the blank in Paragraph 8?

A.You bet your millions and I bet my faith.

B.You stake your millions and I stake my life.

C.You bet your millions and I bet my career.

D.You stake your millions and I stake my freedom.

【3】What was the lawyer’s original intention to choose to be locked for 15years in the banker’s lodge?

A.To earn a large sum of fortune.

B.To defend the false truth of the world.

C.To enrich his soul by extensive reading.

D.To fight against the false-hearted banker.

【4】What can you infer from the change in the lawyer’s choices of books within 15 years of imprisonment?

A.A man’s taste in reading never remains the same.

B.The lawyer is gradually reaching a high level of reading.

C.The way of killing the time is always changing with time.

D.The lawyer is eventually addicted to reading different books.

【5】Which of the following may account for the lawyer’s giving up the two millions?

A.A good name is easier lost than won.

B.Money spent on the brain is never spent in vain.

C.Wisdom in the mind is better than money in the hand.

D.What we acquire without sweat we give away without regret.

【6】What can serve as the best title of the passage?

A.The banker B.The lawyer C.The bet D.The death penalty

24、Wild

I was 16 when my father finally decided he would send me to wilderness camp for several months. He had threatened to do it many times before, but my mother had always managed to prevent him from doing so. This time he insisted on doing it.

The latest incident was the last straw. Impulsively(冲动地), I hade pushed Mr. Ford, my math teacher, down a flight of steps at school. He broke his arm in two places. Anyway, he had agreed not to accuse me as a favour to my dad, who was in the middle of a tight race for sheriff(执法官) in our town. But my reckless behaviour had my dad’s closest advisor talking.

“John, he’s your son and he’s a kid, but he is dragging you down,” I heard Jake Hutch tell my dad through his closed office door the night after I pushed Mr. Ford. “If you can’t make your son obey the rules, how can you make the law obeyed in this town?”

So, off to Pisgah National Forest I went. I imagined hours of untold abuse at the hands of some strong sergeants(警官). I was determined no to be broken. I was who I was.

Nearly every day for six months, a small group of other troubled teens and I carried our 30-pound backpacks on a difficult journey covering about 10 miles. We hiked in a rough wilderness that seemed untouched by civilization.

Our sergeants were firm but kind, not frightening as I had imagined. We learned how to make a fire without matches and create a shelter with branches and grass. We learned which plants were safe to eat out in the wild. I felt myself change. I was calm and often reflective. My old, impulsive self was gone.

One morning, six months later, my dad came to pick me up. I ran to hug him and saw relief and love in his eyes.

“So what’s it like being sheriff?” I asked on the ride home.

“I lost the race, Danny,” he said.

“I’m sorry, Dad.” I knew my behaviour probably had a lot to do with hid defeat.

Dad squeezed my shoulder and brought me close. “As long as I don’t ever lose you, I’m okay.”

【1】The author was finally sent to wilderness because _____.

A. he could learn how to survive in the wild

B. his teacher insisted on giving him a lesson

C. he pushed his math teacher down the stairs

D. his mother feared that he would be accused

【2】The underlined word “reckless” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.

A. selfish B. careless C. rude   D. reasonable

【3】What can we learn about the author from the passage?

A. He changed a lot after the camp.

B. He was not satisfied with his life in the camp.

C. He was still what he used to be after the camp.

D. He made enemies with other troubled teen at the camp.

【4】How did the author’s father feel at the end of the story?

A. Grateful. B. Annoyed.

C. Disappointed  D. Relieved

25、It is a tradition of corporate architecture. A company’s top executives get offices on the top floor with the biggest windows and best views. However, nowadays some bosses choose to “hot-desk”（轮用办公桌） with everyone else.

One argument for such a(n) ________ can be made. Staff morale （士气）would ________ if the employees are stuffed in open-plan offices while the executives occupy the spacious offices. When the executives sit alongside their teams, they will be more in touch with how projects are going and how staff are feeling. In theory, if the executives are ________, employees are more likely to approach them with problems.

But the bosses present all the time may ________ hurt morale. One of the joys of office life is the freedom to enjoy a bit of joking with colleagues. This may include the odd joke about the ________. In the presence of their boss, staff will be ________ in what they talk about and the tone of their comments. They may feel the need to sound serious at all times, for fear that the quality of their commitment to their work come into doubt. ________, the manager may be right behind them.

You also have to wonder whether executives will really spend every morning searching for a place to sit. Some hot desks will be a lot hotter than others. Once the chief financial officer has picked a desk on day one, the junior staff will ________ that particular spot on subsequent days. In contrast, anyone who works closely with a particular executive will be ________ to pick a desk close by.

The lingering（逗留不走的）boss presents other ________. Anyone who has worked in an open-plan office will acknowledge that other colleagues’ talking can make it hard to ________ at times. Managers may find themselves constantly being approached by team members with questions or problems for them to solve. Many people resort to headphones to shut out the background noise and to ________ their unavailability. But if managers do that, they run the risk of seeming shut off from their colleagues.

One study found that at firms that ________ to open-plan design, face-to-face interactions fell by 70%. Like an animal caught on open ground without cover, many people do not like being constantly observed. In the ________ of a physical barrier, they create a fourth wall, ________ their desire for privacy by facial expressions or brief replies to questions.
