A
Best smartwatches you can purchase right now
Apple Watch SE
The Apple Watch SE is the best smartwatch money can buy right now, but it’s only the right choice for you if you own an iPhone. If you do have an iPhone, you may wonder why the Apple Watch 6 doesn’t take our title of the very best smartwatch That’s because the Apple Watch SE does almost everything that smartwatch can, but for a much lower price.
The Apple Watch SE comes with a high-end design and a great range of features that you can’t get on every other smartwatch right now. The battery life isn’t the best on the market based on our tests, and there isn’t an always-on display, but if you’re after a great value for money choice for your next wrist companion you should opt for the Apple Watch SE.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 4
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is a wearable that had a lot of publicity around it. This witnesses Samsung return to Wear OS, having used Tizen for recent models. But this isn’t Wear OS as you might know it — it’s a new take on the operating system, designed alongside Samsung, and with a very Tizen-like skin on the top.
Add to that great performance, what we found to be a comfortable fit, a lightweight build, and interesting new body composition measurement tools, and this makes for a top smartwatch, especially for those interested in tracking their health and fitness.
But with some of its features requiring a Samsung phone, and no support for iPhones, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 isn’t something we can recommend to everyone. It also arguably isn’t worth upgrading to if you already own a recent Galaxy Watch.
Apple Watch 6
The Apple Watch 6 hasn’t taken the top spot in our best smartwatch list, but this is the absolute best device you can get if you own an iPhone. Why isn’t it ranked above the Apple Watch SE Because it’s a lot more expensive than that option.
It isn’t a huge upgrade over the Apple Watch 5 though. There are new features like blood oxygen monitoring and an upgraded chipset, but largely it’s a similar device with the exact same screen and design.
That said, if you’re after an Apple Watch this is the best from the company ever, we just found the lack of any major upgrades a slight disappointment.
21. What is a disadvantage of the Apple Watch SE
A. The display is always on. B.The battery performance needs improving.
C. It is poor value for money. D. It has a poor range of features.
22. How does the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 distinguish itself from recent models
A. It had a lot of publicity. B. It can’t be recommended to everyone.
C. It is comfortable. D. It employs a different operating system.
23. What do the Apple Watch 5 and Apple Watch 6 have in common
A. The blood oxygen monitor. B. The screen.
C. The price. D. The chipset.
B
Professor Heinz Wolff, who has died aged 89, was a bioengineering pioneer. He established the discipline, named it and, in a 60-year career, made significant contributions to medical research. But to the British public, he was best known as the “dotty scientist” who fronted The Great Egg Race, a BBC show in which colour-coded teams were set engineering challenges (the first was to transport an egg in a vehicle powered by rubber bands). With his trademark bow tie, half-moon glasses and Mittel-European accent, he looked really like Professor Branestawn, as described by W. Heath Robinson. Yet while he cheerfully exploited his reputation as an “odd egghead”, he was very serious about his work and inspired thousands of young people to consider scientific careers.
Born in Berlin in 1928, Heinz Wolff was the son of Jewish parents. His mother died in 1938, and the next year the family fled. They arrived in Britain on the day war was declared. “We really cut it rather fine,” he said on Desert Island Discs in 1998.After leaving school, he worked as a technician at the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford, where he invented a machine to count red blood cells, and then at the National Institute for Medical Research’s pneumoconiosis (尘肺) research unit in Cardiff, where he designed a means of measuring dust levels in coal miners. He went on to study at University College London and graduated with a first in physics and physiology. Then, in 1983, he founded the Institute for Bioengineering at Brunel University. His particular interest was in technologies to improve the lives of older people, but he was also heavily involved in space research and worked as an adviser to the European Space Agency.
Wolff had made his first appearance on TV on Panorama in 1966, encouraging Richard Dimbleby to swallow a “radio pill”. On The Great Egg Race, which ran from 1979, his task was to get opponent teams representing organizations such as the chemical company ICI. Challenges included building a hovercraft(气垫船) from a lawnmower(割草机), and inventing a bicycle that could ride on water. Marks were awarded for entertainment value and technical accomplishment. The show ended in the mid-l980s, but Wolff continued to judge scientific competitions, on TV and elsewhere. A natural entertainer with an inexhaustible curiosity about the world, he said he’d be happy to dress up as a clown if it got children interested in science.
24. What does the underlined sentence “We really cut it rather fine” in paragraph 2 mean
A. We fled from Germany timely.
B. We settled down at the cost of punishment.
C. We led a comfortable life in Britain.
D. We didn’t have much time for the declaration.
25. Which inference can you draw from Heinz Wolff according to the passage
A. He used to major in physics and physiology.
B. His family left Berlin after World War II broke out.
C. He invented a machine while in University College London.
D. His interest lay in helping those living in war-stricken areas.
26. Heinz Wolff didn’t mind his peculiarities as long as ________.
A. he could keep being curious about the world.
B. he could combine entertainment and technology.
C. he could help stir up children’s interest in science.
D. he could appear on TV to judge scientific competitions.
27. Which of the following can best Heinz Wolff
A. Patriotic. B. Passionate. C. Optimistic. D. Pioneering.
C
Human beings are not alone in having invented vaccination while honeybees got there first and they can run what look like vaccination programmes, which has been confirmed by Gyan Harwood of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
Queen bees vaccinate their eggs before they are laid. But the question is how the queen receives her antigen (抗原) supply, for she lives purely on royal jelly, a substance secreted by nurse bees when they are in the life stage of feeding the young. Dr Harwood wondered if the nurses combined the royal jelly they produced with pieces from pathogens (病原体碎片) they had consumed while eating something brought in from outside.
To test this idea, they collected about 150 nurse bees and divided them among six queenless mini hives (蜂巢) equipped with the young to look after. They fed the nurses on sugar-water, and for three of the hives they added Paenibacillus larvae, a bacterium causing a disease, to sugar-water.
Dr Harwood and Dr Salmela labeled the bacteria with a certain dye, to make them easy to track. And, sure enough, microscope confirmed that Paenibacillus larvae were getting into royal jelly secreted by those bees which had been fed with the sugar-water. Moreover, examination of this royal jelly revealed higher levels of defensive substance, compared with royal jelly from bees that had not been mixed with Paenibacillus larvae. This substance is thought to help bee immune systems fight against bacterial infections.
All told, these findings suggest that nurse bees are indeed, via their royal jelly, passing antigens on to the queen, then into eggs. They also mean, because the young receive royal jelly for the first few days after they hatch, the nurses are giving the young the second antigens. Each young bee is therefore being vaccinated twice.
28. What puzzled Dr Harwood from paragraph 2
A. What the royal jelly is comprised of.
B. Where nurse bees receive pathogens.
C. How the antigen come into the queen bees' bodies.
D. Whether honeybees run vaccination earlier than man.
29. How did Dr Harwood develop his experiment
A. By dividing bees into different roles.
B. By keeping track of the special bacterium.
C. By transforming the components of royal jelly.
D. By observing nurse bees' different behaviors.
30. What can we infer according to the results of the experiment
A. Nurse bees are critical to vaccination for bee group.
B. The nurse bees pass the antigen only to the queen.
C. Bacteria-used royal jelly has fewer defense substances.
D. Two vaccinations are given to young bees by caregivers directly.
31. Where is the text probably taken from
A. Part of a brochure. B. A social website.
C. An official document. D. A medical magazine.
D
The organic foods have gained a lot of popularity as they are being considered as healthier and tastier. A fair number of people advocate a large-scale shift to organic farming from conventional agriculture. But this might not seem well-founded.
Since the mid-19th century, conventional industrial agriculture has become incredibly efficient on a simple land to food basis. Conventional farming gets more and more crop per square foot of land, which can mean less wilderness needs to be transformed to farmland.
To make farming more efficient, conventional agriculture uses a significant amount of synthetic fertiliser each year, and all that nitrogen(氮) enables much faster plant growth. However, the cost is paid in vast polluted dead zones at the months of many of the world’s rivers, because much of the nitrogen ends up running off the soil and into the oceans. This also makes conventional farming one of the major threats to the environment.
To weaken the environmental impact of agriculture, improve soil quality as well as produce healthier foods, some farmers have turned to organic farming. Environmentalists have also welcomed organic food as better for the planet than the food produced by agricultural corporations. Organic practices—refusing artificial fertilizers and chemical pesticides—are considered far more sustainable. Sales of organic food rose 7. 7% in 2010, up to $26. 7 billion—and people are making those purchases for their moral senses as much as their tongues.
Yet a new meta-analysis in Nature does the math and comes to a hard conclusion: organic farming produces 25% fewer crops on average than conventional agriculture. This is definitely a downside of organic farming, especially when global population is still growing rapidly.
In the Nature analysis, scientists performed an analysis of 66 studies comparing conventional and organic methods across 34 different crop species, from fruits to grains. They found that organic farming delivered a lower output for every crop type, though the difference varied widely. For crops like fruit trees, organic trailed(落后于)conventional agriculture by just 5%. Yet for major grain crops and vegetables—all of which provide the world’s main calories—conventional agriculture outperformed organics by more than 25%.
What that means is that while organic farming may be more sustainable than conventional agriculture, there are trade-offs(此消彼长)with each. So an ideal global agriculture system may borrow the best from both systems rather than upholding merely organic or conventional practices.
32. What do we know about conventional farming
A. It produces more crops with fewer fertilisers.
B. It achieves efficiency at a huge cost to the environment.
C. If offers a long-term solution to global demand for food.
D. It performs far better for each crop type than organic farming.
33. What does the author most probably agree with
A. Employing organic farming to plant rice.
B. Adopting organic practices to grow potato.
C. Using conventional methods to plant cabbage.
D. Applying conventional farming to grow apple.
34. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage
CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion
35. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage
A. To compare two types of farming. B. To criticize conventional agriculture.
C. To discuss the development of farming. D. To argue for a realistic agriculture system.

Science can help you improve your study methods. For more than 100 years, psychologists have done research on which study habits work best. Some tips help for almost every subject. For example, don’t just cram! And test yourself, instead of just rereading the material. Here are some tips to tweak your study habits.
Space out your studying
Nate Kornell, a psychologist at Williams College, thinks it’s a good idea to study the day before a big test. 36 . Instead, space out those study sessions. Kornell compares our memory to water in a bucket that has a small leak. Try to refill the bucket while it’s still full, and you can’t add much more water. Allow time between study sessions, and some of the material may drip out of your memory. 37 . And you’ll remember it better, next time, he notes.
Practice, practice, practice!
Musicians practice their instruments. 38 . The same should go for learning. “If you want to be able to remember information, the best thing you can do is practice,” says Katherine Rawson. She’s a psychologist at Kent State University in Ohio. In one 2013 study, students took practice tests over several weeks. On the final test, they scored more than a full letter grade better, on average, than did students who studied the way they normally had.
Test yourself
That 2010 study backs up one of Nebel’s preferred study habits. Before big tests, her mom quizzed her on the material. “Now I know that was retrieval practice,” she says. “It’s one of the best ways you can study.” As Nebel got older, she quizzed herself. For example, she might cover up the definitions in her notebook. Then she tried to recall what each term meant. “ 39 ,” Sana suggests. “Put questions on one side and the answers on the other side.” Friends can even quiz each other on the phone, she says. “Try to quiz yourself the way the teacher asks questions,” Nebel adds.
Dig deeper
It’s hard to remember a string of facts and figures if you don’t push further. Ask why things are a certain way. How did they come about Why do they matter Psychologists call this elaboration. It’s taking class material and “asking a lot of how and why questions about it,” Nebel says. In other words, don’t just accept facts at face value. 40 . And it creates a bigger network in your brain of things that relate to one another, she says. That larger network makes it easier to learn and remember things.
A. Some experts hold that studying late at night can be really useful
B. Of course, nothing can replace studying with your mother
C. This helps you combine new information with other things you know
D. But then you’ll be able to relearn it and learn more in your next study session
E. Create a deck of flash cards every time you learn new information
F. But research shows it’s a bad idea to squeeze all your studying into that day
G. Athletes practice sports skills

Whether we notice it or not, our child is a little reflection of ourselves. They grow up looking more and more like us. They even have similar personalities and hobbies. And in some cases, the standard of choosing a good friend.
One day, my 10-year-old Jane said, “Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow ” Her words made me extremely happy because Jane was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell.
“Sure, honey, that sounds great.” I said, thinking back to my own childhood best friend, Susan. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter. I was shy and had trouble making friends. But Susan drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile. Thanks to Susan. I was happy every day.
In senior high school, Susan went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. “I’ll be back soon and I will write to you as soon as I arrive.” she told me. But I didn’t get her phone call nor receive any mail from her. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey, making my hope of seeing Susan impossible.
Whenever I thought of him, tears came into my eyes.
The next day Jane brought her new friend home. “Hi, Mrs. Smith.” the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she gave me a big smile. “My name is Jo. My mom will pick me up 2 hours later.”

Boys and girls,
I’m honored to deliver you a talk as to how to live a healthy life.
In our daily life, it is unavoidable that we may be exposed to different viruses which can cause diseases, ranging from a slight cold to the murderous COVID-19.
However, we can stay away from the harm of them if we form good habits, such as eating healthy food, drinking plenty of water, having enough sleep and keeping a positive attitude. In addition, I’m convinced that doing exercise regularly is important as it physically strengthens our body and builds up our immune system. Besides, working up a good sweat helps rid ourselves of worries and unhappiness.
In conclusion, we should lead a healthy lifestyle. And only in this way can we fight against viruses.
Thank you!
Paragraph1:
I was puzzled because my daughter’s new friend looked so familiar. But I was sure that I had never met Jo before. She told me that her family just moved from Los Angeles, which puzzled me even more because I had never been to Los Angeles and we had no relatives living in Los Angeles, either. I convinced myself that it was only my imagination. The two girls got on very well and they giggled from time to time. I watched them play and felt so happy for my daughter from the bottom of my heart.
Paragraph2:
Two hours passed really quickly, and there was a knock on the door. It was Jo’s mom coming to pick her up later that afternoon. On seeing her face, I was shocked. “Judy!” she cried. “It’s me, Susan!” We embraced each other. It turned out that her father’s company sent his father to Los Angeles before they settled in Florida. She tried calling me later but we had moved. The two little girls were happy to see their mothers became good friends at once before we told them our story, with happy tears rolling down our cheeks.
