21、To live in the United States today is to gain an appreciation for Nahrendorf's declaration that social change exists everywhere. Technology, the application of knowledge for practical ends, is a major source of social change.

Yet we would do well to remind ourselves that technology is a human creation; it does not exist naturally. A spear or a robot is as much a cultural as a physical object. Until humans use a spear to hunt game or a robot to produce machine parts, neither is much more than a solid mass of matter. For a bird locking for an object on which to rest, a spear or robot serves the purpose equally well. The explosion of the Challenger space shuttle and the Russian nuclear accident at   Chernobyl drive home the human quality of technology; they provide cases in which well-planned systems suddenly went haywire and there was no ready hand to set them right. Since technology is a human creation, we are responsible for what is done with it. Pessimists worry that we will use Our technology eventually to blow our world and ourselves to pieces. But they have been saying this for decades, and so far we have managed to survive and even flourish. Whether we will continue to do so in the years ahead remains uncertain. Clearly, the impact of technology on our lives deserves a closer examination.

Few technological developments have had a greater impact on our lives than the computer revolution. Scientists and engineers have designed specialized machines that can do the tasks that once only people could do. There are those who declare that the switch to an information-based economy is in the same camp as other great historical milestones, particularly the Industrial Revolution. Yet when we ask why the Industrial Revolution was a revolution, we find that it was not the machines. The primary reason why it was revolutionary is that it led to great social change. It gave rise to mass production and, through mass production, to a society in which wealth was not restricted to the few.

In somewhat similar fashion, computers promise to revolutionize the structure of American life, particularly as they free the human mind and open new possibilities in knowledge and communication. The Industrial Revolution supplemented and replaced the muscles of humans and animals by mechanical methods. The computer extends this development to supplement and replace some aspects of the mind of human beings by electronic methods. It is the capacity of the computer for solving problems and making decisions that represents its greatest potential and that poses the greatest difficulties in predicting the impact on society.

【1】Why does the author give the examples of the Challenger and Chernobyl?

A．To show that technology could be used to destroy our world.

B．To stress the author's concern about the safety of complex technology.

C．To prove that technology usually goes wrong, if not controlled by man.

D．To demonstrate that being a human creation, technology is likely to make an error.

【2】What docs the phrase '"went haywire" in paragraph 2 most probably mean?

A．were out of range

B．got out of control

C．fell out of use

D．went out of date

【3】According to the author, the introduction of the computer is a revolution mainly because________.

A．it has a great potential impact on society

B．it has helped to switch to an information technology

C．the computer has revolutionized the workings of the human mind

D．the computer can do the tasks that could only be done by people before

【4】In the passage, the author clearly shows his____.

A．keen insight into the nature of technology

B．sharp criticism of the role of the Industrial Revolution

C．thorough analysis of the replacement of the human mind by computers

D．comprehensive description of the negative consequences of technology

23、“I don't speak English”—these are the first words I learned when I came to America. Soon I was able to pronounce the four words clearly, and said them whenever an American tried to talk to me. This answer was very effective (有效的) at ending our conversation and saving me from another uncomfortable situation, or I would have to communicate in a language that  I was not familiar with.

Before coming to the States, I thought I knew English pretty well. But the truth is that the grammar－based and vocabulary－based English that is taught in overseas (海外的) schools is not the English people speak in America.

But  fear  not!  Once  you  are  in  America,  you  can immediately begin to bridge the gap (弥补差距) between the learned English that you have already known, and the spoken English that is all around you. To do this, first of all, it is important not to fear when you realize that you may not be as prepared for daily communication as you thought. For me, as soon as I stopped worrying about my accent and started speaking, I made rapid progress. Often the people didn't notice my mistakes because they were so glad to finally be able to communicate with me.

Another good idea is to listen carefully and pay attention to the way in which ideas are expressed. For example, if you are working hard and you want to stop working and rest for a little while, you can either say “I would like to stop working and rest for a while” or “I want to take a quick break from work”. The first sentence, I quickly learned, sounds dry and too formal for any kind of communication, while the second is an idiom(成语) that is widely used in American English conversation.

Finally, use what you have  already  known—the vocabulary, the grammar and the spelling. Try to use these into the spoken language for more impressive and accurate(精确的) speaking results.

【1】What's the main idea of this passage?

A. You'd better say “I don't speak English” in the USA.

B. How you can improve your spoken English in the USA.

C. Idioms are widely used to express your ideas in the USA.

D. Listening is the best way to improve your spoken English in the USA.

【2】At first the writer preferred to use the sentence “I don't speak English” to ________.

A. admit he is a foreigner

B. save much time for himself

C. prevent himself from being laughed at

D. avoid getting upset in communicating with others

【3】What's the problem with the English taught outside the English－speaking countries?

A. It is quite different from what the natives speak.

B. It is taught in boring and wrong grammar.

C. It has nothing to do with English.

D. It has a too small vocabulary.

【4】When did the writer make rapid progress in spoken English?

A. As soon as he paid attention to the way Americans spoke.

B. The minute he found what has been learned useless.

C. The moment he got rid of the fear of speaking.

D. Immediately he arrived in the USA.

24、Kids have a lot on their minds. Dealing with school, family, activities, and all of the other big parts of life is hard enough. The recent rise in Omicron cases in the US is causing more stress on them. It can be difficult to think of how to cheer themselves up. 【1】.

Connect with people you love. Reaching out to friends and family can make a huge difference. 【2】. Just talking or spending time with them can improve your mood (情绪)and help you feel connected.

Talk to a trusted adult. If you’re feeling down. Dr. Murthy suggests confiding (倾诉)in a trusted adult. 【3】. “A lot of schools have counselors or school nurses you can talk with as well.” he adds.

【4】. Eat well and get good sleep. Fresh air and exercise help, too. “I find that when I’m physically active, it actually lifts my mood,” Dr. Murthy says. It also has the benefit of freeing yourself from some challenges you have.

Help others. 【5】. When you help other people, not only do you strengthen (巩固)your connections, you also remind yourself that you have a lot of beauty, value and strength to add to the world.

A．Take care of your body

B．Regular exercise helps body building

C．It is a good chance to speak out how you feel

D．This might be a family member, a teacher or a doctor

E．You don’t have to discuss anything sad with your loved ones

F．Service is one of the best ways to get out of sadness and loneliness

G．Vivek Murthy, the country’s top doctor, offers some advice for this purpose

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Functions of a Speech

The art of public speaking began in ancient Greece over 2, 000 years ago. The spoken word can handle various vital functions: persuading or inspiring, informing, paying compliment, entertaining, or simply introducing someone or something or accepting something. Over the past years, the human voice has helped guide us over the ups and downs of what was certainly a stormy time.

Persuasion is used in dealing with or reuniting different points of view. When the leaders met in Copenhagen in December 2009, persuasive words from activists encouraged them to commit themselves to firmer action. Inspirational speeches challenge the emotions. They focus on topics and matters that are close to people's hearts. During wars, generals used inspiring speeches to prepare the troops for battle.

A speech that conveys knowledge and enhances understanding can inform us. The information must be clear, accurate, and expressed in a meaningful and interesting way. Informative speeches from World Health Organization officials helped people to keep their panic under control so they could take sensible protection.

Sad events are never easy to deal with but a speech that pays tribute to the loss of a loved one and gives praise for their contribution can be comforting. Madonna's speech about Michael Jackson, after his death, highlighted the fact that he will continue to live on through his music. It's not only in world meetings where public speaking plays an important role. It can also be surprisingly helpful in the course of our own lives.

On a more personal level, a friend may be upset and need comforting. Or you might be asked to introduce a speaker at a family event or to speak at a wedding, where your language will be needed to move people or make them laugh.

Great speaking ability is not something we're born with. For a brilliant speech, there are rules that you can put to good use. To learn those rules you have to practice and learn from some outstanding speeches in the past.
