9、is answer to a physics question when the student claimed he deserved a better score. The examination question sounded “safe”.“Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer（压表）.” The student had answered: “Take the barometer to the top of the building,
10、 attach a long rope to it, lower the barometer to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of the rope is the height of the building.”I argued that a high grade should prove his competence in physics, but the answer did not confirm this. I suggested that the stu
11、dent have another try. Immediately, he worked out his answer: A second best way is to take the barometer to the top of the building. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, using the formula to calculate the height of the building.I was shocked by his answer. His method gave me n
12、ot only a broken barometer but a U-turn in my teaching philosophy. I gave him full marks.On his leaving my office, I recalled that he suggested there could be a better answer. So I asked him what it was. “Oh, yes,” said the student, “There are many ways. Probably the best,” he said, “is to take the
13、barometer to the basement and ask the superintendent （楼管）. You speak to him as follows: Mr.Superintendent, here I have a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of this building, I will give it to you.At this point, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this ques
14、tion. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school instructors trying to teach him how to think, and to use the so-called “scientific method”. He just wanted to solve the problem in a practical manner, not just answer the question in an expected way. Hearing this, I really h

Since then it has gone from a small cultural movement celebrating an ancient fashion to a trend that is booming on social media, having been adopted by China s Generation Z as a means of connecting with their past. Instead of following other cultures blindly, Generation
20、 Z now have different opinions about what trend is by promoting local culture while having an objective view of exotic cultural products.The new tastes of Generation Z young people born after 1995 are well represented on Bilibili.

With the development of the Chinese Internet industry, they have more access to diverse international information and culture, which bring them a much broader vis

He also noted that the popular rock and punk culture pursued by the
24、 70s and 80s generation is more of a challenge against real life and local culture.

28、denceCChinas New Generation Redefine Local Culture as TrendyDHanfu Style, Connector of Ancient Fashion and Modern TrendA great deal of personal protective equipment （PPE） for example, disposable masks, rubber gloves has been used since the pandemic began. It is estimated that medical waste, includin
29、g masks which take 450 years to decompose （分解）in nature, has increased by 60 percent during the pandemic. A survey by Indonesian Institute of Sciences （LIPI） Research Centre found that masks and other healthcare garbage made up 16 percent of the total floating in the Cilincing and Marunda river in J
30、akarta Bay in March and April last year. Finding ways to change this is top of mind for some researchers.The team at LIPI is experimenting with the disposable masks containing polypropylene （聚丙烯）a type of plastic that is tough but stretchable, which makes good raw material to produce various plastic
31、 products. At RMIT university in Melbourne, Australia, researchers are making a mix of mask pellets （颗粒），which help to add hardness and strength, and process building rubble （砾石）designed to be used for base layer of roads and pavements. One kilometer of a two-lane road will use around 3 million mask
32、s, preventing 93 tons of waste from going to landfill.For the broader demand in mask recycling, TerraCycle, a waste management and recycling company, offers a Zero Waste Box that works like a recycling bin for used safety and protective equipment. Waste from hospital and medical centers is not inclu
33、ded. The box comes with prepaid return label. Once full, it can be sent back to the company. All Zero Waste Boxes are quarantined（隔离）on arrival for a minimum of 72 hours to protect the workers handling the waste, separating the collected waste into fibers and plastics mechanically or manually. At la
34、st they will be transported to the companys various third-party partners to manufacture a variety of new products including outdoor furniture, watering cans and storage containers, etc.“To adopt the new recycling methods on a large scale would require a steady supply of waste masks in order to keep
35、the machine running”, an official from the Plastic Recycling Association said, “but this never means those innovations are white elephants.”12What do the statistics in paragraph 1 suggest?ASeriousness of the pandemic.BThe sufficient supply of protective equipment.CEnvironmental pressure brought by t
36、he pandemic.DThe great effects of overusing medical resources.13How can the masks be recycled according to the text?ABy experimenting them in the research.BBy using chemicals to decompose them.CBy changing them into building materials.DBy burying them in the landfill properly.14Why does TerraCycle o
37、ffer Zero Waste Boxes?ATo stop virus from spreading directly.BTo protect the workers against the virus.CTo help the hospital with its waste problem.DTo collect household waste masks efficiently.15What will be further talked about after the last paragraph?AAdvocating the less use of masks.BGuarantee
38、about constant waste mask supply.CNew advances in preventing the pandemic.DConcerns about the management of the waste.二、七选五Dont brag(炫耀)，but be proud of what youve done. These two pieces of advice were tough to balance before Facebook existed._16_We are unable to draw a line between a humble braggin
39、g and a straight-up bragging. But we certainly know that oversharing doesnt do your friendship any favors.Social media like Facebook bring us convenience._17_Once upon a time, only your family and close friends would be there to see you eagerly open presents on Christmas morning. Now the photo you t
40、ake on your iPhone will likely become a touch-up Instagram in about 15 seconds. Maybe you just post it subconsciously. But your sharing behavior could easily be considered annoying or even narcissistic(自恋的)._18_Maybe we should all be asking ourselves the question before hitting the share button. As
41、our personal fame grows alongside our social media presences, so does the number of people we could potentially impress or bother.According to Therapist Jessica Michaels, providing emotional context may help prevent what might be seen as a bragging. Think about how you say something, not just what y
42、ou say. Frame it in a way that makes it more of a sharing idea. For example, if you plan a party for Christmas, you could post Hey friends of mine! Lets plan this together. Maybe we could all go. instead of saying Oh I cant wait to enjoy my party. _19_ Remember, the original intention behind social
43、media is a connector, and your true best friends definitely do want to know when things are going good for you. Next time when you post a photo of your fantastic winter vacation, for example, make sure to tag your friends._20_ A little bit of social media love goes a long way!ATo post or not to post
44、?BWill it make me a celebrity?CTell them you wish they were by your side.DThey are the most important friends in our life.EMeanwhile, they can put us in danger of oversharing.FIt makes a big difference how you express your ideas.GEven todays share-it-all social media havent made it any easier.三、完形填空

I leaned down and saw its right _30_ was relatively complete but the left was crumpled （褶皱的）. Nevertheless, the bee kept exercising the
