For many people, selfies (自拍照) have been so popular as to be a must. New hairstyle? Take a selfie. Dining out? Selfie. They’ve even been taken from beyond Earth’s atmosphere.
A Japanese astronaut, Aki Hoshide, took one while visiting the International Space Station. In what may be one of the coolest selfies of all time, Hoshide caught his likeness alongside the sun, Earth, a robotic arm, a spacesuit and the inky darkness of the universe. In 2013, Oxford Dictionaries even crowned “selfie” as the word of the year.
It isn’t difficult to judge someone’s mood when a selfie is taken—the images are, by their very nature, mood-driven. Whether you capture yourself with a smile or a fierce facial expression, scientists are figuring out ways to study self-portraits taken by smart phones and analyze what they say about you. Selfie studies will allow them to predict not only the subject’s mood, but also the mood of an entire region. A team of researchers led by Dr. Lev Manovich of the City University of New York has been studying thousands of Instagram
self-portraits in select cities, including Bangkok, Berlin, Moscow, New York and Sao Paulo, to analyze how mood affects selfie poses.
While many wondered if it was even possible to determine an entire city’s mood based on a smattering (略知) of self-portraits, the study has delivered promising results. Among the most interesting findings: People in Moscow smile the least of all the selfie cities that were analyzed, while Bangkok and Sao Paulo selfie subjects looked the happiest. The researchers were even able to uncover data on gender and age differences: On the whole, women were more expressive than men in their self-portraits, but men older than 30 were more likely to post selfies on Instagram than women.
Another study, started by Manovich and researchers from the University of California,
San Diego and the City University of New York, studied 1 million selfies posted on Twitter. Is it possible to judge a person’s mood, or even a city’s mood from a selfie? The answer, researchers say, is yes. They posit (断定) the ability to measure “happiness” of geographic regions using selfies and hope to use the method as an alternative to traditional surveys. 4．Why is the Japanese astronaut Aki Hoshide mentioned ?
A．To point out that taking selfies is a challenge.
B．To indicate that taking selfies is a high technology.
C．To show that taking selfies has become very popular.
D．To explain that taking selfies badly affects peopled life.
5．What does the underlined word “crowned” in paragraph 1 mean?
A．Capped.B．Honored.C．Topped.D．Completed. 6．What is the purpose of Dr. Lev Manovich’s study?
A．To count the number of selfie lovers.
B．To understand why people love selfies.
C．To know whether selfies predict moods.
D．To research the advantages of taking selfies.
7．What can we learn from the text?
A．Selfies can be used to judge a city’s mood.
B．People in Moscow might lead a miserable life.
C．Living in Bangkok is the happiest in the world.
D．Men are likely to enjoy selfies more than women.
British sculptor Jason Taylor has made it his mission to use his talent to conserve our ecosystems by creating underwater museums. Over the years, the environmentalist has put over 850 massive artworks underwater worldwide. On February 1, 2021, Taylor launched his latest work---The Underwater Museum of Cannes.
“The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help,” Taylor told Dezeen. “Ocean ecologies have been destroyed by human activity in the Mediterranean over the past few decades, and it is not obvious what is taking place when observing the sea from afar.”
The Underwater Museum of Cannes contains 6 sculptures featuring local residents of various ages. They range from Maurice, an 80-year-old fisherman, to Anouk, a 9-year-old
student. Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.
Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides removing the trash, Taylor also restored the area’s seagrass. Just one square meter of the seagrass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The seagrass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.
“The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection,” Taylor told Dezeen. “If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.”
8．why does Jason Taylor create underwater museums ?
A．To protect the artworks underwater
B．To draw attention to endangered sea animals.
C．To show his sculpture talent.
D．To raise awareness of protecting the ocean.
9．Why does the outer part of the sculptures look like a mask?
A．To popularize the features of the locals.
B．To remind people to protect themselves.
C．To reflect people’s protection of the ocean.
D．To stress the fragility of the ecosystem.
10．What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．How the project was started.
B．How the seagrass was restored.
C．What recovery effort the project made.
D．Why the surroundings were improved.
11．What can we infer from what Jason Taylor said in the last paragraph?
A．The situation of the ocean is easily ignored.
B．The destruction caused to the ocean is noticeable.
C．Forests play a more important role in ecosystems.
D．People have zero tolerance to damage done to nature.
As people are becoming more socially conscious about where their food comes from and how it impacts the planet, they are choosing animal-free plant-based options. Cow-free meat has been around for quite some time and the popularity of brands of the cultivated (培育的) meat is rising. While there are a large number of plant-based milk substitutes (替代品), none of them have the same taste of cow’s milk. Now, a food-tech company created real dairy products without harming a single cow or the planet.
The company stresses that their product produced in the lab is not a milk substitute but rather is the real deal. And it is very healthy. The company also says that the lab-produced milk tastes identical to the real thing and they hope to eventually replace cows by creating every dairy product sold. They expect to roll out plant-based cheese and yogurt in addition to milk. “Our company was founded with the mission to stop using animals to produce our food because, as dairy lovers, we realize that giving up on milk is not an option,” John said. “But today’s milk comes with an unreasonable price tag. The dairy industry is destructive to our planet, our health, and our animals, simply not sustainable (可持续的) anymore. ”
The environmental price tag of dairy farming is way too high. According to the World Wildlife Fund, dairy cows add a huge amount of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere and contribute to global warming and climate change as well as pollute the air around them. Dairy operations consume large amounts of water and run-off of manure (粪肥) and fertilizers from these farms get into local waterways. The production uses only 5 percent of the resources and produces only 1 percent of the waste of producing cow’s milk according to the company. And they accomplish this by being 100 percent cruelty-free unlike dairy farms.
12．What’s the main difference between the food-tech company’s milk and other milk substitutes?
A．Its price.B．Its popularity.C．Its output.D．Its taste. 13．What can we know from John’s words in paragraph 2?
A．We’re willing to accept the prices of cow’s milk.
B．We’re supposed to close up the dairy industries.
C．The company aims to produce animal-free food.
D．The company intends us to give up milk completely.
14．What does the underlined word “them” probably refer to in the last paragraph?
A．Dairy cows.B．Dairy operations.C．Local waterways.D．Greenhouse gases.
15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Healthier Milk, Rising Popularity B．Making Milk without Cows C．Fresher Milk, Better Taste D．New Milk Saves Planet
二、七选五
Is It Bad to Cross Your Legs When You Sit?
Crossing your legs is an extremely, common habit; most people don’t even notice that they’re doing it when they sit down. ____16____
A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason this happens is because the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart, crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart.____17____ However, if you sit for long periods of time, it’s important that you take note of how long you have your legs crossed for. You shouldn’t have your legs crossed for more than 15 minutes, and it’s important that you get up and walk around at least once every hour.
____18____ Ideally, it’s best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip (髋部，臀部) width apart, on the floor, but it’s not easy to maintain perfect posture all day. When you sit with your legs crossed your hips are in a twisted position, which can cause one of your pelvic (骨盘的) bones to turn. Since your pelvic bone supports your neck, this can cause pressure on your lower and middle back and neck.
Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg, explains Richard Graves, a medical expert.____19____ While this feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb (麻木的) can cause permanent nerve damage.
____20____ Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.
A．It is usually practiced unconsciously.
B．You won’t feel any immediate effects.
C．Crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain.
D．So when you take a seat, warn yourself of the bad habit.
E．Crossing your legs might cause problems that you are not aware of.
F．So next time you sit down, try to sit with both of your feet on the floor.
G．This pressure can cause numbness of some of the muscles in your foot and leg.
