If you want to work in cities like Boston, New York or San Francisco, your starting salary will be much higher than people who dont have a degree, and you certainly need a good salary to afford an apartment in those cities. I think Ill get about $50,000 as a staring salary once I graduate, and Ill get a lot of fringe benefits(额外福利)too, like life insurance and a retirement plan. SteveIm from Argentina and everyone I talked to said “go to university”. Why did I listen to them? Ive got massive debts now, and no chance of getting a good job. For the last five years, Ive been in a dead-end job, with no safety, no prospects(前景), and low pay. Most of my friends left school at 16 and theyre doing really well now. They got promoted while I worked very hard to get a degree, and it isnt worth the paper its written on. Of course I feel bitter. GordonI did my degree at Cambridge Universityit was a three-year course. I dont like the idea that you study for a degree for what it gets you later in life. You should go to university because youre really interested in the subject you choose. I dont think my degree helped me to get a job. It may have given me an edge over non-graduates for getting interviews, I suppose. But I really enjoyed studying French literature, and dont regret it at all. When I left, I applied for lots of jobs, and I think employers liked the fact that I was confident and had good people skills. Im now a computer programmer, nothing to do with literature.HelenClick here to share your opinion about university.21. What do we know about Steve?A. He works in New York.B. He has no interest in his job.C. He thinks his degree is a big advantage.D. He lacks confidence in his personal skills.22. What is Gordons attitude toward going to university?A. Appreciative.B. Unfavorable.C. Supportive. D. Uninterested.23.Which of the following is true about Helen?A. She has always aimed high.B. She is a literature enthusiast.C. She faced fierce competition in job hunting.D. She believes going to university is time-wasting.BDr Alan Beck, director of Purdue Universitys Center for the Human-Animal Bond, led a study that offered robotic dogs to elderly patients at nursing homes. Beck and his students found that, just as one would expect with real dogs, the robots reduced feelings of loneliness, increased physical and social activities, and improved confidence.The robot-dog, called AIBO, was developed by Sony and produced between 1999 and 2020. It was the first robot to make its way into thousands of American homes. AIBO was programmed to “learn” in a limited way from its environment. At the University of Washington, a study of adults who visited an AIBO website suggested that many owners believe AIBO experienced emotion(情感) even though they know the dog is a robot. Another study at Purdue suggested that kids react the same way: Even very young children know that AIBO is not a real dog, yet some form an emotional attachment to it.In a separate study using AIBO and a dog, Dr Rebecca Johnson, a nursing professor and associate director at the Center for Animal Wellness, Missouri University Collage, found some interesting results. The study centered on the subjects levels of serotonin(血清素)a brain chemical that, when deficient(不足的), is strongly linked with depression. Findings showed that serotonin increased when test subjects stayed with their pet dogs but decreased when the subjects stayed with robotic dogs.The benefits of owning a dog, then, are becoming clear. Increased levels of serotonin calm us down and improve sleep and can make us less sensitive to pain. Johnsons study also found that petting a dog will result in decreased levels of the brain chemical cortisol.So, just as exercise is important to our health, so too are our pets: They can improve the quality of our lives. Studies have shown, for example, that taking a dog for regular walks can contribute to a persons weight loss.It can also be helpful for us in social activities, which can help improve our sense of well-being. When we look into our pets eyes, we are seeing one of of the true joys of life.24How do most people from the AIBO website feel about AIBO？AFrightened.BWorried.CSatisfied.DDoubtful25Compared with a real dog, AIBO_.Ais more related to stressBis less attractive to adultsCis less beneficial to humansDis more sensitive to peoples feelings26What would be the best title for the text？AAIBOyou new petBAIBOyour future friendCYour dog your exact doubleDYour dogyour best friend forever27How does the text mainly develop?ABy using numbers.BBy making comparisonsCBy presenting research findings.DBy following the order of importance.CThe year is 971. Ray Tomlinson is sitting in his office in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He types a few letters on a keyboard. Then he moves to a second computer in the room and reads the monitor. He just sent the first electronic message from one computer to a different computer through a network.What did this first e-mail say? Tomlinson doesnt remember. Maybe it was just a string(串) of letter, like“q w e r t y u I o p”.He does remember the second message. He sent it to his co-workers.This second e-mail message told people how to send e-mail on the computer network.Before 1971, people only had keyboards and monitors, which were all connected to a big computer, at their desks. People could only send messages to other people on the same computer. They could send files(文件) to other computers through the network, but they couldnt “talk”To solve this problem, Tomlinson needed a way to direct messages to the right person on the right computer on any network. He chose the symbol to separate a persons name from the name of the computer the person was using. The symbol was a good choice. This symbol was not in anyones name. Few people used it. In fact, typewriter companies thought about taking it off the keyboard.In the 1970s, only about 500 people used e-mail to do projects at work. Then, in the 1980s, the first personal computers arrived. For the first time, people could have computers at home. Then came the Internet. Soon e-mail became a popular way to communicate. Today, over one billion people use it.Tomlinson is sorry about one thingspam. Most of it is advertising that tries to sell something. As much as 70 percent of each days 180 billion e-mail messages is spam. As the number of e-mail users grows, spam is becoming more and more of a problem.Pitifully, Tomlinson never made any money from e-mail and most people dont even know his name. However, Thanks to this unknown hero, people all over the world can communicate with each other in seconds.28What can we learn about Tomlinsons first e-mail?AIt had several files attached.BIt was just a test message.CIt was an e-mail usage warning.DIt came from one of his co-workers.29what happened before e-mail?AThere wasnt the symbol on the keyboard.BPersonal computers had been networked.CNot many people used the symbol.DComputers had been used at home.30What did the public think of e-mail in the 1970s？AThey were against itBThey thought highly of it.CThey paid little attention to it.DThey had high expectations for it.31What does “spam” probably refer to?AUnfinished e-mail. BUnknown e-mail.CUnwanted e-mail. DUnfamiliar e-mail.DWhatever happened to the familiar scene from the past of children playing “tag(捉人游戏)” in the streets while their parents chatted with the neighbors over the garden fence? This picture is fading fast today, as children are now leaving the streets in favor of a screen.Several organizations are attempting(尝试) to change this situation. One of these organizations is play England, which aims to improve opportunities for children to play outside. A leading figure in the campaign is 50-year-old Adrian Voce, who has childhood memories of days spent in the “Big Woods” near his house with his older brothers. “We were given a packed lunch and told not to talk to strangers. I can still remember wandering in and out of each others houses,” he says.However, it is not only the children that Mr Voce and his organization have to convince. In many cases the parents themselves block his efforts. A survey in 2020 found that 85 percent of adults agreed that it was important for children to be able to play safely in the road or street where they live. However, many of them were not prepared to park their cars an extra 50 meters away from their homes.Mr Voces attempts to encourage children to play outside include the organization of campaigns like National Playday. Hundreds of communities all over the country take part in this effort, yet it can take a lot of people to give children a taste of what it is like to play in the streets. On one street in Aldershot last year there were five policemen, three community support officers, a traffic management crew, a closed-circuit television van, and a team of “play workers”.Society today has changed to such an extent that children do not feel safe on the streets and their parents no longer feel comfortable about letting them play there. It is not only the appeal(吸引力) of computers and video games that has driven children inside, but also the presence of traffic, crime, and violent young people. However, thanks to the efforts of people like Adrian Voce, it may not be too late to turn back the clock.32.What kind of feeling does Adrian Voce show when he looks back on his childhood?A Regret.BShame.CDelightDSurprise33.Why does the author say the parents themselves block Mr Voces efforts?.A. They dont want their children to be outside.B. They are worried about the safety of the streets.C. They are not optimistic about Mr Voces campaign.D. They wont make the street safer for their children to play in.34.What can we learn about National Playday?A. It has rapidly spread to other countries.B. A lot of people are needed to make it work.C. It has not lived up to the organizers expectations.D. It aims to call on parents to play with their children.35.What is the authors attitude towards children playing in the streets?A. Worried.B. Hopefu.C. Doubtful.D. Shocked第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Ideas for bringing order to your lifeYou think youre a clean person.
