Marco Polo’s father and uncle renewed their friendly acquaintance with the Kublai Khan and presented him with papal (教皇的) letters. They were given important positions at his court in return. Marco Polo learned to speak the Chinese language. 1275 Marco Polo was appointed as an envoy (使节) for the Kublai Khan and traveled through China on his missions. 1280’s Marco Polo traveled through Asia working for the Kublai Khan and was eventually appointed as a governor of one of his cities. 1292 A marriage was arranged for the daughter of Kublai Khan, the Princess Cocachin, and the Polos accompanied the wedding party, consisting of a fleet of fourteen ships, to Persia. 1293 The Polos stayed in Persia to celebrate the wedding and then headed towards the Black Sea to make their way back to Venice. 1295 Marco Polo arrived in Venice with the finest collection of jewels ever seen. Venice was at war with Genoa. 1298 Marco Polo was made a “gentleman commander” of a Venetian galley. His ship joined in the battle of Kurzola and he was taken as a prisoner of war by the Genoese. When he was in prison he met a writer called Rustichello da Pisa and dictated (口述) to him an account of his travels and experiences in China, Japan, and other Eastern countries. 1299 Marco Polo was released as a prisoner of war in Genoa. 21.When did the Polos start their journey towards the Empire of China? A．1262. B．1269. C．1271. D．1274. 22.Marco Polo’s father and uncle were given important positions in the court of the Kublai Khan. It was probably because ________. A．they were very wealthy traders B．they were successful adventurers C．they brought to China papal letters D．they learnt to speak the Chinese language 23.According to the timeline, what was the last thing that Marco Polo did before returning to Venice? A．He married the daughter of the Kublai Khan. B．He accompanied Princess Cocachin to Persia. C．He was made the commander of a fleet. D．He dictated an account of his travels to the East. B Leia was fresh out of college when she began working as a member of a business-development team at a mid- size tech company. Though her skills had earned her the job, she was the youngest person in the team. “Everybody else was pretty much twice my age,” she says. “I heard about comments being made behind my back. There were a couple of times when my superiors referred to my age right in front of me, saying I was too young, ‘What does a 23- year-old know about these things?’” Leia tried to change things by altering her appearance at work. “I changed the way I dressed. I tried to dress older, more ‘ladylike’. I changed my mannerisms and tried to act older,” she says. “It worked, to an extent.” The comments about her age and perceived ( 认 定 的 ) inexperience lessened, but Leia says she still felt like her growth potential was limited. She left the company soon after. What Leia experienced was ageism traditionally seen as something only older people face. For instance, older workers might be judged based on assumptions that they won’t fit into a progressive office dynamics or learn technology as quickly. A US study showed that nearly two-thirds of workers aged 45 and older had seen or experienced age discrimination. But younger workers face age discrimination, too. In fact, new research shows it may actually be the youngest team members who are bearing the impact of workplace ageism right now. Leia says removing ageism entirely will ultimately require a fundamental change to corporate culture, which has long tied seniority ( 资 历 ) to skill. “We prize years of experience a little too much, and I don’t think years of experience and skill are necessarily related,” she says. “Steve Jobs was 21 when he founded Apple. We don’t know how much younger people actually have to contribute. Hopefully, more employers are realizing it.” 24.What was the main topic of Leia’s superiors about her? A．Her job skills. B．Her young age. C．Her cute appearance. D．Her family background. 25.Why didn’t Leia stay any longer at the company? A．She failed to dress more lady-like. B．She received more negative comments. C．She felt pressure from her work to an extent. D．She wanted more space for her growth potential. 26.Which statement agrees with the US study the most? A．Only older people face age discrimination at work. B．Young workers can’t fit into a progressive office. C．Older workers are very slow technology learners. D．Young workers are seriously affected by ageism. 27.Why does Leia mention Steve Jobs? A．To offer information about the Apple Company. B．To tell about Steve Jobs’ unknown contribution. C．To say that skill does not always come with age. D．To show that skill alone matters to young people. C You can tell a lot about people’s general state of mind based on their social media feeds. Are they always tweeting about their biggest annoyances or posting pictures of particularly cute kitties? In a similar fashion, researchers are turning to Twitter for clues about the overall happiness of entire geographic communities. What they’re finding is that regional variation in the use of common phrases produces predictions that don’t always reflect the local state of well-being. But removing from their analyses just three specific terms — good, love and LOL — greatly improves the accuracy of the methods. We’re living in a crazy COVID-19 era. And now more than ever, we’re using social media to adapt to a new normal and reach out to the friends and family that we can’t meet face-to-face. Kokil Jaidka studies computational linguistics at the National University of Singapore. “But our words aren’t useful just to understand what we, as individuals, think and feel. They’re also useful clues about the community we live in. ” One of the simpler methods that many scientists use to analyze the data involves correlating words with positive or negative emotions. But when those records are compared with phone surveys that assess regional well-being, Jaidka says, they don’t paint an accurate picture of the local Zeitgeist (时代精神). Being able to get an accurate read on the mood of the population is no laughing matter. “That’s particularly important now, in the time of COVID, where we’re expecting a mental health crisis and we’re already seeing in survey data the largest decrease in subjective well-being in 10 years at least, if not ever. ” To find out why, Jaidka and her team analyzed billions of tweets from around the United States. And they found that among the most frequently used terms on Twitter are LOL, love and good. And they actually throw the analysis off. Why the disconnect? “Internet language is really a different beast than regular spoken language. We’ve adapted words from the English vocabulary to mean different things in different situations. ” says Jaidka. “Take, for example, LOL. I’ve tweeted the word LOL to express irony, annoyance and sometimes just pure surprise. When the methods for measuring LOL as a marker of happiness were created in the 1990s, it still meant laughing out loud. ” “There are plenty of terms that are less misleading,” says Jaidka. “Our models tell us that words like excited, fun, great, opportunity, interesting, fantastic and those are better words for measuring subjective well-being. ” 28.The researchers turn to social media feeds to _______. A．help with the analysis of people’s subjective well-being B．locate the most frequently used words C．prove the disconnect between language and emotions D．make the prediction method more effective 29.In regular spoken language, which of the following is most likely to fill in the blank “Fantastic! _______” A．How come he can afford such a luxury car? B．I’ve left the book on the bus again. C．A good movie, definitely worth seeing! D．Why do I have to do the chores again? 30.How did Jaidka know the analysis wasn’t accurate? A．It didn’t reflect the mood of the entire geographic community. B．It didn’t match the assessment result of the phone surveys. C．It didn’t consider the features of Internet language. D．It didn’t take the regional variations into account. 31.Which of the following statements will Jaidka most probably agree with? A．Face-to-face communication is needed to ensure happiness. B．Internet use is to blame for the decrease in subjective well-being. C．Internet language should be abandoned as a source of scientific analysis. D．Less misleading words should be used in assessing subjective well-being. D On Wednesday, two things happened. In Syria, 80 people were killed by government airstrikes. Meanwhile, in Florida, Elon Musk’s SpaceX successfully launched and fired a sports car into space. Guess which story has dominated mainstream news sites? The launch of Musk’s Falcon Heavy rocket, the most powerful ever launched by a private company, went off successfully. Musk sent his cherry-red Tesla roadster running toward Mars, launching “a new space age”. The event attracted phenomenal publicity and made the rocket launch a masterstroke of advertising for Tesla. Meanwhile, in Syria, where hundreds of thousands of refugees(难民) may be forced to return to unsafe homes, a UN human rights coordinator for Syria said despondently(沮丧地) that he was no longer sure why he bothers to videotape the effects of bombing, since nobody ever pays attention. He wondered what level of violence it would take to make the world care. There is, perhaps, no better way to appreciate the tragedy of 21st-century global inequality than by watching a billionaire spend $90m launching a $100,000 car into space. Musk said he wanted to participate in a space race because “races are exciting” and that while strapping his car to a rocket may be “silly and fun … silly and fun things are important”. Thus, anyone who mentions the huge waste the project involves, or the various social uses to which these resources could be put, can be dismissed as a killjoy. But one doesn’t have to hate fun to question the justification for pursuing a costly new space race at exactly this moment. If we examine the situation honestly, it becomes hard to defend a project like this. A mission to Mars does indeed sound exciting, but it’s important to have our priorities straight. First, perhaps we could make it so that a child no longer dies of malaria every two minutes. Or we could try to address the level of poverty in Alabama which has become so extreme that the UN investigator did not believe it could occur in a first-world country. Perhaps when violence, poverty and disease are solved, then we can head for the stars. Many might think that what Elon Musk chooses to do with his billions is Elon Musk’s business alone. If he wanted to spend all his money on medicine for children, that would be nice, but if he’d like to spend it making big explosions and sending his convertible on a million-mile space voyage, that’s his right. But Musk is only rich enough to afford these money-consuming projects because we have allowed social inequalities to arise in the first place. If wealth were actually distributed fairly in this country, nobody would be in a position to fund his
