A
Are you searching for the latest device as a gift Here, we offer a
guide that will help you take a closer look at four of tech’s hottest
categories.
Virtual reality
Virtual reality (VR), the most exciting tech development of recent
times, has arrived. The Sony VR doesn’t require expensive phone
and there are some devices you can purchase to enhance the
experience. But if you’ve already got a PS4, you can enter the world
of VR for just $400 (2780 yuan).
Wireless headphones
Combining ease of use with the ability to move around without
limit, wireless headphones just make sense. The Bose QuietComfort
35 wireless headphones are worth a test drive. The headphones
feature active noise cancellation. They can be easily purchased for
less than $400 online.
Digital cameras
While your phone has more functions, there’s no substitute(替代品)
for a real camera. As small as your smartphone, the smooth design
of the Fujifilm X70, $699 (4850 yuan), makes it the perfect
companion. In China, Xiaomi’s mirrorless Yi M1 offers a more
affordable option, available for just 2199 yuan.
Smartwatches
Watches, thanks to the mobile phone, were becoming unnecessary.
Now the pursuit for fitness has helped the watch industry push
forward. FitBit has been a leader in the sporty wearable field, and
its new swim-proof Fitbit Flex 2 ($130) represents the best in the
way of today’s fitness bands.
21.With a budget of $300, which of the following can you buy
A.Xiaomi Yi M1. B.Fujifilm X70. C.Fitbit Flex 2. D.A Sony VR
without a PS4.
22.What may be the possible reason for you to choose Xiaomi
instead of Fujifilm
A.Its design. B.Its function. C.Its quality. D.Its price.
23.Where may you find the passage
A.In a newspaper. B.In a guide book. C.In a research paper. D.In
a sports magazine.
B
Mike Mushaw joined the national bone marrow registry (骨髓登记)
three years ago by chance. Six months later, he got a call. The
21-year-old football player's bone marrow matched a patient in
Virginia. Mushaw gave a second thought to the donation, because
apart from some risks, he never knew whether his donation worked.
“Finally I said yes,” Mushaw told the journalist. “Once they took my
blood, I thought, ‘All right, this is real. This is going to happen.’”
Mushaw didn't know it at the time, but his donation would go to a
five-month-old girl named Eleanor who was sick with a rare disease
diagnosed when she was only three months old. Days and weeks
passing, her condition had become more dire.
“Eleanor was going to die without a bone marrow transplant,” her
mother, Jessica, said. “The choices were to either get a transplant
or die early. Luckily, Mushaw’s bone cured her.”
Mushaw didn't know any of this until months after his donation.
About six months after the procedure, Eleanor's parents sent him
an e-mail to thank him for his selfless love.
Their surprising connection was beginning. Mushaw kept checking
on her progress. Eleanor focused her attention on him, too, by
watching his football games on TV. In August, Mushaw invited her
family to drive from Virginia to Connecticut to meet at one of his
games. They had a good time together.
In January, Mushaw reunited with Eleanor, this time in Virginia, to
celebrate her birthday. It will likely be first of many celebrations
together. “As a parent, it feels really great to watch someone love
your kid as much as you do,” Jessica says. “We were two complete
strangers, and now we've become such a big part of each other's
lives.”
24.Why did Mushaw hesitate at first
A.He was a football player. B.He would face some danger.
C.He knew it wouldn't work at all. D.He didn't know whether his
risks were worthy.
25.What does the underlined word “dire” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Serious. B.Complicated. C.Relieved. D.Hopeful.
26.Which of the following best describes Mushaw
A.Kind but hesitant. B.Active and confident.
C.Worried but energetic. D.Selfless and considerate.
27.What can we learn through Mushaw's story
A.Why health matters. B.Never make excuses.
C.How to be a good person. D.Love brings people together.

While some feel that bookstores are fading away, one Chinese
bookstore has found new life by marching into rural areas in China
to bring colorful cultural life and higher incomes lo local residents.
By absorbing local rural characteristics, the village branches of the
Librairie Avantgarde Bookstore (LAB) chain have transformed into
important platforms to display local history, culture and folk
traditions. Not just bookstores, they are foundations helping to
relieve spiritual poverty (贫困) and centers for gathering and
displaying rural culture.
To better fit in the lives of local residents, earth village branch has
its own characteristics, like the branch in Shaxi, southwest China’s
Yunnan province. Many of nearly 20,000 books in the store are
associated with the history, geography and folk customs of Yunnan
and the Bai people.
“Turning in profits is not our only aim. Our bookstore has become
a public gathering space for villagers. Not only young people, but
many elderly residents come here. They do not buy books, but pass
the time by reading or chatting with each other in our store.” Liu
Xia, the bookstore owner explained.
She added that this is a cultural atmosphere that bookstores offer
the area. Some residents have grown accustomed to turning to the
books of the store to find answers to the troubles they face, such
as operating a business or controlling tourists from urban areas.
The biggest benefit of opening bookstores in villages is that it
helps provide a healthy environment for children’s growth. “My
kids often come to the store. They love reading books here. They
gain knowledge and curiosity about outside world.” one villager
said.
The arrival of the bookstore menus a lot to the village when young
residents have been leaving for urban areas in recent years. During
the 2020 May Day and National Day holidays, the daily number of
tourists traveling to the village reached 5,000, a record high.
Visitors were attracted by the bookstore. Surrounding it, several
restaurants and holds have opened.
28.Which of the following best describes village branches of the
LAB
A.They are disappearing gradually. B.They feature local rural
cultures.
C.They could make much higher profits. D.They have set up
poverty-relief foundations.
29.What do we know about the branch in Shaxi
A.It specializes in history-related books. B.It creates a public
gathering space for business.
C.It shares the same features with oilier branches. D.It helps
villagers know more about the Bai people.
30.What’s the greatest influence of village bookshops on the local
areas
A.Attracting more people lo pay a visit. B.Offering kids a healthy
atmosphere.
C.Helping residents lo acquire knowledge. D.Encouraging the
young to go to big cities.
31.Which of the following can be the best title of the text
A.LAB: A Bookstore on the Rise B.Local Culture Welcomed by
Tourists
C.Village Bookshops Promote Rural Life D.Great Ambitions of
Village Bookstores
D
Do you find it difficult to put down your mobile phone If yes,
you’re not alone. These days, many people suffer from the stress of
FOMO (fear of missing out). They reach for their mobile phones
when they wake up in the morning, and for the rest of the day,
they constantly scroll down (向下滚动) the timelines of their social
media apps to get the latest updates.
Despite the convenience smartphones bring, many people struggle
with their digital habits. As Sameer Samat, US tech Company
Google’s vice president of product management, said in his speech
at the 2018 Google I/O developer conference on May 8th, 70
percent of people don’t want to spend so much time on their
phones. This is why during the conference Google introduced an
app called Dashboard for the new version (版本) of its Android
operating system. This new app includes well-being functions that
aim to help users manage the time they spend on their digital
devices.
It all starts with a bird’s-eye view. Dashboard allows users to look at
all the details of their phone habits. For example, a user can see
how many times they’ve unlocked their phone and how many
times they’ve checked their social media apps, as well as how much
time they spend on each app every day.
Once the users see this information, they’ll be able to make some
changes. With the App Timer function, users can set a time limit for
how long they can use each app for every day. After they’ve hit the
limit, they won’t be able to launch the app until the next day.
But even if users become more mindful of their usage, they’re still
likely to be drawn in by notifications (通知). This is where the Shush
feature comes in. It automatically (自动地) silences incoming calls
and notifications when a user puts their phone face down.
