As an engineer, I have designed electronic control systems for more than 30 years, and I expected to do so until I retired. My wife, Krisztina Valter, is a scientist. One day, she went to a scientific activity with me. Most knowledge of bi ology went over my head, but one speaker attracted my attention. Jochen Zeil, a professor who studies animal behavior, presented a model of how insects could work out a way to go to a target despite having small brains.
At lunch time, my wife introduced us. Zeil and I had a very enjoyable discussion about his idea and biology. Before we parted, I joked that if he wanted another PhD student, he could count me in. About a month later he emailed me, “Haven’t heard from you. Have you enrolled(注册) yet ” And that’s how, at the age of 53, I became a part-time doctorial student in biology.
My background in biology had been out of date for many years, so I needed to learn the basics fast. It was not easy, but I got a lot of help from other laboratory members and my wife. The more I learnt, the more I realized how little I knew. Every paper caused the need to read more. It was tiring, and at times disappointing, but brought a lot of fun. You read, think, and suddenly things fall into place.
But there is something I have to get used to. If you repeat an engineering experiement, you expect to get the same result. This is not so in behavior biology. Your experiment subjects actually have a mind of their own—You can put an ant on a trackball, but you can’t make it walk on the ball.
Now at the age of 61, this period is nearly at an end. New knowledge enriches you, regardless of how old you are. My advice is that if you have the opportunity to enter a new field, take it.
24．What did the author think of most of the knowledge about biology presented at the activity
A．He couldn’t think too highly of it.
B．He couldn’t make sense of it.
C．He considered it quite easy.
D．He felt it was so practical.
25．How did the author become a doctorial student in biology according to paragraph 2 A．He expected to realize his dream in his heart for long.
B．He said something amusing and Zeil took it seriously.
C．He was always urged by his wife to learn biology.
D．He tried hard to persuade Zeil to take him in.
26．What is the theme of third paragraph
A．The author’s good relationship with other laboratory members.
B．The author’s difficulty in learning and his discouragement.
C．The author’s learning experiences and his reflection.
D．The author’s purpose of learning the subject.
27．What can we infer from the author’s words in the last two paragraphs
A．Experimenting with insects may get a different result.
B．Old people ought to work hard to get a college degree.
C．The author prefers behavior bi ology to engineering now.
D．Doing engineering experiments is easier than doing bi ology ones.

A newly developed algorithm(算法) can spot depression in Twitter users with 88.39% accuracy. Developed by researchers at Brunel University London and the University of Leicester, the algorithm determines someone’s mental state by analyzing the 38 data points from their public Twitter information, including their posts, their posting times, and the other users in their social circle.
“We tested the algorithm on two large databases and compared our results with those obtained by other depression detection techniques,” said Prof. Abdul Sadka, Director of Brunel’s Institute of Digital Futures. “In all cases, we’ve managed to make it perform better than existing techniques in terms of their classification accuracy.”
The algorithm was trained by using two databases that contain the Twitter history of thousands of users, as well as additional information about those users’ mental health. Eighty percent of the information in each database was used to teach the robot, with the other 20% then used to test its accuracy. The robot works by first excluding(排除) all users with fewer than five posts and running the remaining information through natural language software to correct for misspellings and short-form words. It then considers the 38 different data points—such as a user’s use of positive and negative words, the number of friends and followers they have, and their use of emojis—and makes a decision on that user’s mental and emotional state.
The team says that such a system could potentially mark a user’s depression before they post something into the public websites on the Internet, paving the way for platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to proactively(积极行动地) warn users about their mental health issues. What’s more, the robot can also be used after a post has been made on the public platforms, potentially allowing employers and other businesses to assess a user’s mental state based on their social media posts. It could be used for a number of reasons, the researchers say, including the use in emotional analysis, criminal investigation or employment screening.
28．How does the robot determine a Twitter user’s mental state
A．By accessing the user’s previous health status.
B．By inquiring about the user’s friends and followers.
C．By discovering the misspellings and short-form words in the user’s posts.
D．By taking into consideration the different aspects from the user’s public information.
29．Why does the author mention Prof Abdul Sadka’s words in paragraph 2
A．To show that the newly developed algorithm is better at depression detection.
B．To emphasize the differences between depression detection techniques.
C．To reveal the seriousness of depression among Twitter users.
D．To introduce some ways to detect depression.
30．What is the third paragraph mainly about
A．What factors determine depression.
B．The common symptoms of depression.
C．Why researchers wanted to access people’s mental state.
D．The training and working process of the algorithm system.
31．What is one of the practical uses of knowing the users’ mental and emotional state
A．It can help improve the techniques of depression detection.
B．It enables the platforms to provide medical service for their users.
C．It can help companies select more suitable staff from some candidates.
D．It makes it possible for websites to better protect their users’ privacy.

With the recent ban on iPhone 12 sales in France due to radiation concerns, a potential snowball effect might appear, as other European Union member states could follow suit(效仿). In a statement to the press earlier this month, France’s Digital Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said radiation from the iPhone model was above what is legally permitted according to national technology watchdogs.
The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for the iPhone 12, when worn close to the body, for example in trouser pockets, was found to be above the legal limit of 4 watts per kilogram. Apple now plans updates, in response to the radiation from iPhone 12, which is 5.74 watts per kilo, to be rolled out to all iPhone 12 owners across France.
The French government warned that failure from Apple would need it to recall all the iPhone 12s already owned by consumers within the country. Currently the World Health Organisation states that there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that mobile phone radiation could be harmful to humans.
Some organisations recommend caution for their use and support further definitive long-term research, which is why government safety guidelines are tentatively(实验性地) in place. It is true that phones emit radiation. However, it is generally assumed to be safe and is the same type used to transmit radio station frequencies.
This is a different type compared to other forms of radiation such as x-rays, which we know to be harmful. So far, no good explanations have been found to demonstrate that radiation from mobile phones can affect people’s health. It is also unlikely that they will increase cancer risk as the energy emitted is generally thought of by scientists as being too weak to damage DNA．
The issue has resulted in the French government expressing their attitude, and Apple is not the only manufacturer under scrutiny. Other brands such as Samsung and Motorola all have models which exceed the national limit. In fact, over 50 phone models across the major tech company sphere are included in the list by French technology watchdogs, with flagship products such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Motorola Edge all under scrutiny.
While it is unlikely that mobile phone radiation is likely to damage health, France’s dramatic assertion(断言) over a tech giant like Apple has caused others to follow suit. Mathieu Michel, Belgium’s secretary of state for digitization, has also vowed to investigate the issue for the country, while Germany and Italy are also paying close attention to any developments.
32．How much higher is the radiation from an iPhone 12 than that of the legal limit
A．1.32 watts per kilo. B．1.46 watts per kilo.
C．1.57 watts per kilo. D．1.74 watts per kilo.
33．What did the French government require Apple to do
A．To repair all the iPhone 12s sold in France.
B．To update all the iPhone 12s sold in France.
C．To ask for all the iPhone 12s to be returned.
D．To replace all the iPhone 12s with other types.
34．Which can replace the underlined word “scrutiny” in paragraph 6
A．Instruction. B．Development. C．Examination. D．Budget.
35．What is the best title for the news report
A．France promises to accuse Apple for iPhone 12
B．France’s iPhone 12 ban leads to Apple’s protest
C．France promises to reduce radiation level from iPhone 12
D．France’s iPhone 12 ban could lead to EU-wide tech regulation

Quick facts about OPT
Year after year, international students from around the world come to the US in pursuit of one of the best educational offers in the world. 36 But for others the goal is to work in the US after graduation.
What is OPT
37 Every international student in the US entitled(使有权利) to 12 months of practical training (i. e. work) in the US under OPT. Typically, if you are not a citizen of a particular country, then you are not allowed to work in that country without proper documents. Similarly, as an international student in the US without proper documents, OPT is one that allows you to do so.
It is also important to note that students studying in the STEM field s get a 24-month extension in addition to the normal 12 months for a total of 36 months.
38
However, OPT only gives international students 12 months of employment. In the long run, foreigners would seek an H1 B visa in order to work in the US for the long term. 39 You will first need to find an company that would like to sponsor(赞助) you for your H1-B visa. This means that you have to apply for jobs, and on top of that, you have to make sure that if you accept a job offer, that company will want to pay the additional fee to sponsor you.
Why not go straight for an H1-B after graduation
As stated previously, a company is required to sponsor you in order for you to be eligible(合格的) for an H1-B visa. This means that if you break the law, then the company sponsoring you will share responsibility in one way or another. Some companies might view sponsoring an international student as a legal responsibility. 40 If your goal really is to work in the US in the long run, then the OPT gives you a period of time to prove yourself to the company you’d like to work for.
A．They wish to give others a hand.
B．How can you apply for a suitable college
C．Thus they may not want to go that extra mile.
D．OPT simply stands for Optional Practical Training.
E．What if you want to work in the US for longer than that
F．Many students plan to make use of their degrees back home.
G．Similar to applying for universities, there are requirements to apply for an H1-B visa.

Linda went for a job interview at a firm that had several start-up businesses under its wing. She applied to be Executive Secretary of the CEO, but her chance of getting the job was slim because she came in late for the interview.
“I’m truly sorry I have come late, sir,” Linda apologized. “But I had an emergency to attend to earlier today and that is why I couldn’t make it on time. I hope you can give me a chance,” she added. “But the job is to be my secretary and being late for your interview is just not good,” George, the CEO, told her. “I’m sorry, but I won’t be able to hire you.” Depressed, Linda left.
When Linda got home, her son Jack found that something seemed to be bothering his mom. Then he asked, “What’s wrong, Mom How did the job interview go ” “I didn’t get the job, son. I didn’t make it in time for the interview,” she sighed. Jack was almost crying upon hearing this, but Linda tired to comfort him. “It’s all right, son. There are many other jobs I can apply for. It’s no big deal,” she said, hugging him.
The following day, Jack copied the address from his mother’s notebook and came to George’s office without telling his mom. “Hi, sir, I’m Jack. My mom came for an interview yesterday, but you rejected her. Could you please give her a second interview, sir ” he said to the CEO.
“Why should I give her another chance ” George asked. “It was because of my fault that she didn’t make it on time. I accidentally dropped some food juice on my shirt. She had to wash it because it was the only uniform that I could wear in school. It took a while to remove the stain(污渍), so she was late,” Jack said.
“My mom works hard, sir. My parents once ran a cleaning supply and equipment business. Owing to something unexpected, the company was closed down. My parents had to start all over again,” Jack continued.
George listened thoughtfully and began to feel sorry for Linda. He thought the position of Marketing Director would better suit Linda since she had relevant experience. Then he told Jack that he would give his mom a second chance.

M: No, I only read his legal fiction. I’m interested in learning about the legal system, and I hope to change my major from psychology to law.
W: You should have a try. Oh, it is almost 3 o’clock! My mother is going to wait for me at the school gate, so I need to go now. See you later!
(Text 10)
W: Some years ago, Andre found himself staring at the body of a dead whale on a beach in the Canary Islands. It was obvious that the animal had been struck violently by a ship. After surveying the whales which lived in the area and measuring the increase of sound pollution from ships, he found there was a link. The whales had become dull to the noise of approaching boats and were being struck by them. Andre has spent 20 years developing an advanced system to better understand why incidents like this happen. His underwater microphones have exposed a world of deafening sound.
What can be done One solution is to change shipping routes to courses where ships are less likely to meet animals. It’s also possible to slow ships down to 18 kilometers per hour or less, which is less likely to seriously injure a whale. “The ocean is not our world,” comments Andre. But it is ours to look after. And thanks to his work, we can better understand the effects of subsea sound pollution.

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Bruce,
How are things going with you I’m so excited about our upcoming online les son to introduce “Traditional Sports Events of both countries”. On behalf of our club, I’m writing to propose some idea s and confirm related details about it.
The lesson will serve as a channel for students to realize that traditional sports are not only the essence of a culture, but also the pride of a country. So for our part, we are considering introducing several traditional sports activities, including martial arts, dragon boat races, horse races, dragon dances and lion dances and so on. To get the best effect, some forms such as presentations, playing videos and displaying pictures will be adopted. As for the time and the way, we’d like to have the lesson scheduled on a day next week, lasting 3 hours through an online conference application.
Does our proposal work well on your side Looking forward to your earliest reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
The next day, Linda received a call from George, who informed her that she could have a second chance. Amazed, Linda quickly got there. George asked her a lot of questions about cleaning equipment, and she answered them fluently. Linda was like an expert in the field and George was quite satisfied with her performance. What was more, he believed that a devoted mother would be a devoted employee. So he told Linda that she had passed the interview and her position was Marketing Director instead of Executive Secretary. Linda was too surprised to say a word.
Calming down, Linda asked George why he had changed his mind and had given her another chance. George smiled and told her that he had met her so n Jack the day before. Hearing this, Linda suddenly understood everything. “You have a wonderful son, and he shared your story with me. It is inspiring and makes me believe that you deserve another chance,” George said to Linda. Linda felt that she was lucky to have such a loving son and such a kind boss. “It’s really a blessing for me,” she said to herself.
