crop—cotton,they were breaking even and had to make ends meet.In his childhood,there were nine kids at home.All the boys were in one room with two beds.Two slept at the head while two slept at the foot.Therefore,there was one thing about their feet—washing them before crowding onto the bed.When there was a hole in Arguster’s jeans,his mother would put a patch on it.However,the hole kept going.It was the naughty kids,Arguster included,that took the jeans out,hung them on a line and shot them to put holes.Aware of that,however,Ben,the father,didn’t rebuke them,knowing it might be the only way to bring laughter to his kids.Arguster’s first lesson in economics was taught by Ben.The childish kid had worked and made a little extra money.He couldn’t help admiring himself,“I make six dollars!Six dollars!Man!I’m on the top of the world!” With a great thrill,Arguster decided to go to the fair,where he played games,ate cotton candy...When asked by Ben how much he had spent,with his head down,Arguster replied,“Daddy,I spent it all...” Looking at his messy hair,Ben sighed,“Boy,you spent all your money and a haircut’s gone up to 75 cents.I’m afraid...” From then on,Arguster always kept enough money to get himself a haircut.Ben taught his kids how to do the right thing and wanted them to do the right thing,which Ben tried to pass on to his kids,in his own way.Ben started a syrup mill.People in the community brought their cane and millet for Ben to grind up (磨碎) for syrup.When people paid with buckets of syrup,Ben refused.Arguster got confused,“Daddy,why don’t you let these people pay you?”“Because we got enough syrup to last for a long time!Son,these people don’t have money to pay.That’s the only way they can pay.”4.Why should the kids wash their feet before going to bed?A.Because they turned dirty after playing on the farm.B.Because they crowded on a small bed with feet close to others’ heads.C.Because the beds were made of cotton which was easy to spot.D.Because

borrowed money from his mother for his haircut.7.What’s Ben’s attitude towards people in the community?A.Strict. B.Casual.C.Considerate. D.Mean.CIn 2016,Jess Wedel of Oklahoma was diagnosed with cancer.She fought hard,undergoing several surgeries and months of treatment.Luckily,she didn’t have to fight alone;her mom,Valari Wedel,was by her side every step of the way.The mom and the daughter are incredibly close.They share a love of the outdoors and mountain climbing,routinely traveling to distant peaks to plant their flag at the summit.So when Jess was declared cancer-free,she was eager to get back out in the wilderness.What better way is there to celebrate a second chance than scaling the world’s highest peak?Jess and Valari started a hard journey up the Himalayas,as soon as the passage was opened in the spring of 2021.The two of them agreed that they made the journey for more than just another feather in their cap.They were hiking as if each day was their last,because for a while,it seemed that death was a very real possibility.While they hoped to be successful and become the first American mother-daughter team to reach the peak,it was always more about the journey than the destination.“It feels like part of our healing was coming into the mountains and being able to enjoy each other and have fun and just live a life,” Jess said.Mount Qomolangma is one of the most challenging climbs in the world.Their expedition soon met with terrifying 60 mph winds and whiteout(白化) conditions for nearly two days straight,but they kept moving.Unfortunately,on May 11,it all became too much for Valari,who is 61 and has asthma.Jess was heartbroken when her mother had to turn back,but she continued to scale the peak not just for herself,but for her mom,too.Jess continued on her climb,and on May 25,she woke up excited to finally reach the summit after 55 days of climbing.Yet once again,fate had other plans.Her guides fell ill.“Our summit attempt was canceled because our crew was sick,” Jess wrote on Instagram.“And unlike most mountains,it is impossible to climb this one without their help.”8.What do the daughter and the mom have in common?A.They both enjoy making flags.B.They both love outdoor activities.C.They both have the disease of asthma.D.They were once diagnosed with cancer.9.What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?A.They thought the climb was exciting.B.No woman has reached the peak before.C.They risked their lives climbing to the peak.D.They didn’t meet with many difficulties during the climbing.10.Which of the following words can best describe Jess Wedel?A.Considerate. B.Warm-hearted.C.Generous. D.Determined.11.Why did Jess fail to reach the summit?A.Because her mother didn’t accompany her.B.Because the weather conditions were bad.C.Because climbing to the summit was too difficult for her.D.Because her guides were ill and she couldn’t climb without them.DHow do you turn “dumb” headphones into smart ones?Rutgers engineers have invented a cheap and easy way by transforming headphones into sensors that can be plugged into smartphones,identify their users,monitor their heart rates and perform other services.Their invention,called HeadFi,is based on a small plug-in headphone adapter that turns a regular headphone into a sensing device.Unlike smart headphones,regular headphones lack sensors.HeadFi would allow users to avoid having to buy a new pair of smart headphones with sensors to enjoy sensing features.“HeadFi could turn hundreds of millions of existing,regular headphones worldwide into intelligent ones with a simple upgrade,” said Xiaoran Fan,a HeadFi primary inventor.A Rutgers-led paper on the invention,which results in “earable intelligence”,will be formally published in October at MobiCom 2021,the top international conference on mobile computing and mobile and wireless networking.Headphones are among the most popular wearable devices worldwide and they continue to become more intelligent as new functions appear,such as touch-based gesture control,the paper notes.Such functions usually rely on aiding sensors,such as accelerometers,gyroscopes and microphones that are available on many smart headphones.HeadFi turns the two drivers already inside all headphones into a versatile (多功能的) sensor,and it works by connecting headphones to a pairing device,such as a smartphone.It doesn’t require adding aiding sensors and avoids changes to headphone hardware or the need to customize headphones,both of which may increase their weight and size.By plugging into HeadFi,a converted headphone can perform sensing tasks and play music at the same time.The engineers conducted experiments with 53 volunteers using 54 pairs of headphones with prices ranging from $2.99 to $15,000.HeadFi can achieve 97.2 percent to 99.5 percent accuracy on user identification,96.8 percent to 99.2 percent on heart rate monitoring and 97.7 percent to 99.3 percent on gesture recognition.12.What does Xiaoran Fan think of HeadFi?A.Secure to operate. B.Simple to use.C.Easy to substitute. D.Convenient to store.13.What can we know about HeadFi according to the text?A.It can’t work with headphones alone.B.It actually functions as a versatile sensor.C.It makes headphones larger and heavier than usual.D.It doesn’t work when headphones are playing music.14.The figures are listed in the last paragraph mainly to show 　　　. A.the various functions of HeadFiB.the wide popularity of headphonesC.the great complexity of headphonesD.the excellent performance of HeadFi15.What can be the best title for the text?A.How to Use Headphones AppropriatelyB.Headphones Can Be Upgraded InstantlyC.How to Make Regular Headphones IntelligentD.New Uses Have Been Found in HeadphonesⅡ.閱讀七選五People decide to learn another language for many different reasons.Some learn another language because they would like to live in another country.　1　 Some people have to study a

taught his kids how to do the right thing and wanted them to do the right thing,which Ben tried to pass on to his kids,in his own way.【分析】Bentaught...andwanted...是主句,howtodo...作賓語,which引導(dǎo)的是非限制性定語從句。【譯文】本教孩子們?nèi)绾巫稣_的事情,并希望他們做正確的事情,本試圖以自己的方式將這些事情傳遞給他的孩子。【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是記敘文。五年前,俄克拉荷馬州的JessWedel被診斷出患有癌癥,處于人生最低點(diǎn)。但今天,她竟然出現(xiàn)在世界之巔——珠穆朗瑪峰!8.B　解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Theysharealoveoftheoutdoorsandmountainclimbing,routinelytravelingtodistantpeakstoplanttheirflagatthesummit.”可知,母女都喜歡戶外活動(dòng)。9.C　解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中的“Theywerehikingasifeachdaywastheirlast,becauseforawhile,itseemedthatdeathwasaveryrealpossibility.”可知,她們冒著生命危險(xiǎn)爬向山頂。10.D　解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段的最后一句“Jesswasheartbrokenwhenhermotherhadtoturnback,butshecontinuedtoscalethepeaknotjustforherself,butforhermom,too.”可知,JessWedel是意志堅(jiān)定的。11.D　解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的“Herguidesfellill...Andunlikemostmountains,itisimpossibletoclimbthisonewithouttheirhelp.”可知,向?qū)Р×?沒有向?qū)У膸椭裏o法登頂。【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說明文。時(shí)下有很多耳機(jī)都只是具備對(duì)音樂的放大和語音的控制功能。不過一項(xiàng)新的系統(tǒng)能夠讓這些“笨拙”的耳機(jī)具備使用者識(shí)別、心率監(jiān)測和手勢識(shí)別等功能。這項(xiàng)實(shí)驗(yàn)性技術(shù)被稱為HeadFi,目前新澤西州羅格斯大學(xué)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的團(tuán)隊(duì)正在研發(fā)。12.B　解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段第一句“HeadFicouldturnhundredsofmillionsofexisting,regularheadphonesworldwideintointelligentoneswithasimpleupgrade”可知,HeadFi只需一次簡單的升級(jí)就可以將全世界數(shù)以億計(jì)的普通耳機(jī)變成智能耳機(jī)。由此可以推斷,HeadFi使用起來很簡單。13.A　解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第六段第一句“HeadFiturnsthetwodriversalreadyinsideallheadphonesintoaversatilesensor,anditworksbyconnectingheadphonestoapairingdevice,suchasasmartphone.”可知,使用HeadFi時(shí)僅僅用耳機(jī)是不行的。14.D　解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段內(nèi)容可知,在對(duì)53名志愿者使用54副耳機(jī)進(jìn)行的測試中,HeadFi系統(tǒng)對(duì)使用者識(shí)別的準(zhǔn)確率為97.2%至99.5%,在心率監(jiān)測方面的準(zhǔn)確率為96.8%至99.2%,在手勢識(shí)別方面的準(zhǔn)確率為97.7%至99.3%。由此可以推斷,文章最后一段中列舉那些數(shù)字是為了說明HeadFi的性能優(yōu)異。15.C　解析主旨大意題。通讀全文可知,本文主要介紹一項(xiàng)名為HeadFi的發(fā)明是如何將只具備音樂放大和語音控制功能的“笨拙”耳機(jī)變成具備使用者識(shí)別、心率監(jiān)測和手勢識(shí)別等功能的智能耳機(jī)的,C項(xiàng)可作為文章的標(biāo)題。Ⅱ.【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是說明文。文章介紹了學(xué)習(xí)一種新語言該做的和不該做的事。1.D　解析根據(jù)上文“Somelearnanotherlanguagebecausetheywouldliketoliveinanothercountry.”可知,這里介紹人們學(xué)習(xí)另一種語言的原因,和D項(xiàng)“Othersdecidetolearnalanguagebecauseoftheirjob.”語意一致。2.B　解析根據(jù)下文“Trydifferentactivitiestomakeyourlanguagelearningmoreenjoyable.”可知,這部分要介紹享受學(xué)習(xí)。“Doenjoyit.”符合這段主旨。3.G　解析根據(jù)下文“IliketowritethemistakesthatImakeinasmallpocketbook.”可知,上文也是和錯(cuò)誤有關(guān)。G項(xiàng)“Apersoncorrectingyouisagoodthinganditwillhelpyouimprove.”符合語境。4.C　解析根據(jù)下文“It’sverydifficulttohaveanativeaccent.”可知,這里介紹了有個(gè)當(dāng)?shù)氐目谝艉茈y。C項(xiàng)“Thesamethinggoesforaccents.”中也提到了accents,而且語意一致。5.E　解析根據(jù)空后的句子“Iworriedaboutmyaccent,pronunciation,grammaranddidn’tmakethemostofspeakingopportunities.”可知,作者對(duì)于學(xué)習(xí)語言不自信,所以選E項(xiàng)。
