1 Doha, Qatar
Qatar is currently involved in a major conflict with many other countries in the Middle Eastern region, but visitors to its capital, Doha, will still find themselves in the safest city in the world. It’s home to the Museum of Islamic Art, designed by I.M. Pei with inspiration from traditional Islamic architecture, which houses Islamic art from three different continents that have a history of over 1,400 years.
2 Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Dropping down from the top spot last year is Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, with a safety index of 88.03. While it has a population of just over 1 million, only 420,000 are actually citizens-whose average net worth is $17 million dollars. It is also home to the Sheikh Zzyed Mosque, the country’s largest, as well as many camel races.
3 Quebec City, Canada
Quebec City is one of the few cities in North America that still has its original city walls. One of the most romantic cities on the planet, its Old Town was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and as a city with just over 700,000 residents, it’s got a safety index of 85.36, landing it in the top three.
4 Osaka, Japan
Osaka is the best city in Japan for food, drinks, and nightlife, and it’s safer than ever. Make sure you visit Osaka Castle while you’re here, which has a park attached, or the nearby Momofuku Ando Instant Ramen Museum, where you can even customize（定制）your own Cup Noodles to take home.

B
Like a lot of science fiction fans, I read William Gibson’s novel Neuromancer not long after it came out in 1984 and, for decades, I had been wondering how he was able to imagine the future when the technologies he wrote about had barely been invented, until I eventually had an opportunity to interview him in the fall of 2020.
During the interview, I asked how he could see the future of the Internet in 1984, when no one other than a few geeks（极客）had heard of it and whether he had been to scientific talks.
“I have never read or listened to the tech leaders’ talks about new technologies,” he replied. “I would rather sit in a room full of either artists or criminals. Their talks would be more helpful with my writing.”
As a journalist who has reported on Silicon Valley（硅谷）for 15 years, I found his comment really convincing. I’ve sat through press conferences and interviews with many famous tech leaders—Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Marissa Mayer and many others. I never heard Zuckerberg predict fake（假的）news or Steve Jobs worry about iPhone addiction.
“These men are driven by an ideal of how much their technology will change people’s lives or by promises of a lot of money, or both. But one thing is clear: They usually avoid talking about what might happen when their inventions hit the real world,” Gibson explained. “On the other hand, artists are more about holding a mirror up to society and showing us how we behave with the new tools we are given, while criminals are in effect businessmen without brakes, who will look at whatever the latest technology is and think what they can do with it. Neither of them is bound by social conventions at all.”
Since the interview, I have decided to take a page out of William Gibson’s playbook and will go and find some artists or criminals and see what they are going to do with any new technology as soon as it appears in the news.
19. What is Neuromancer?
A. An amazing science fiction. B. An investigating report.
C. A good handbook for geeks. D. A collection of interviews.
20. What did William Gibson say about the tech leaders?
A. They are usually narrow-minded.
B. They just want to make more money.
C. They tend to be too optimistic about their inventions.
D. They are always blinded by their success.
21. What does the underlined word “brakes” in paragraph 5 most probably refer to?
A. Rules. B. Abilities. C. Hopes. D. Profits.
22. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A. Don’t trust famous tech leaders at all.
B. Artists and criminals can be more reliable.
C. Take a balanced view toward new technologies.
D. We should let others try the latest technologies first.

C
Every year, thousands of teenagers participate in programs at their local art museums. But do any of them remember their time at museum events later in life? A new report suggests that the answer is yes - and finds that alumni（毕业生）of arts-based museum programs credit them with changing the course of their lives, even years after the fact.
The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles recently asked researchers to conduct a study to find out how effective their long-standing teen art programs really are. They involved over 300 former participants of four programs for teens that have been in existence since the 1990s. Alumni, whose current ages range from 18 to 36, were invited to find out how they viewed their participation years after the fact.
Among the alumni surveyed, 75 percent of alumni rated the teen program experience as the most favorable impact on their own lives, beating family, school and their neighborhoods. Nearly 55 percent thought that it was one of the most important experiences they'd ever had, regardless of age and two-thirds said that they were often in situations where the experience in museums affected their actions or thoughts.
It turns out that participating in art programs also helps keep teens enthusiastic about arts even after they reach adulthood: 96 percent of participants had visited an art museum within the last two years, and 68 percent had visited an art museum five or more times within the last two years. Thirty-two percent of program alumni work in the arts as adults.
Though the study is the first of its kind to explore the impact of teen-specific art programs in museums, it reflects other research on the important benefits of engaging with the arts. A decade of surveys the National Endowment for the Arts found that childhood experience with the arts have linked arts education to everything from lower drop-out rates to improvement in critical thinking skills.
23. What does the underlined phrase “the fact” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Changing the course of children’s life.
B. Participating in childhood art programs
C. Organizing arts-based museum programs.
D. Remembering the time at museum events.
24. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?
A. The result of the study. B. The process of the study.
C. The approach to the study. D. The object and content of the study.
25. What can be inferred of the study mentioned in the text?
A. Age matters in how people view their art experiences.
B. No other studies exist concerning the benefits of arts.
C. Passion for arts may remain long in kids' whole life.
D. Most children taking part in art programs will work in arts.
26. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Should Children Walk into Art Museums?
B. Can Art Education Affect Our Income?
C. What Should Art Museums do for Kids?
D. How is Art Connected to Our Life?

D
We Are Cyborgs
RoboCop, the Bionic Woman, Darth Vader-what do these characters have in common? They are all cyborgs-humans who are made more powerful by advanced technology. You might think that cyborgs exist only in fiction, or are a possibility only in the distant future. But cyborg technology already exists.
The word “cyborg” was first used in 1960 and defined as an organism “to which external components have been added for the purpose of adapting to new environments”. According to this definition, an astronaut in a spacesuit is an example of cyborg, as the spacesuit helps the astronaut adapt to a new environment-space. More recently, the word has evolved to refer to human beings who have mechanical body parts that make them more than human.
Although super-humans like RoboCop are not yet a reality, advances in real-life cyborg technology allow some people to compensate for abilities they have lost, and give other people new and unusual abilities. An example is filmmaker Rob Spence and his bionic eye. Spence injured one of his eyes in an accident. A camera was implanted in his prosthetic eye（假眼）. The eye is not connected to his brain or optic nerve（视神经）, but it can record what he sees. Spence has used his camera eye to record interviews for a documentary about people with bionic body parts.
Some types of cyborg technology replace a lost ability by connecting directly to a person’s nerves. Michael Chorost completely and suddenly lost his ability to hear in July of 2001. Two months later, doctors placed a cochlear implant, a kind of computer, inside his skull. This type of implant connects to auditory nerves and allows a deaf person to hear again. Around the world, over 300,000 people have now been fitted with cochlear implants.
These examples of cyborg technology have enabled people to enhance or change their abilities and improve their lives. But does everyone want to use cyborg technology? It might be too late to decide. Cyborg scientist Amber Case argues that most of us are already cyborgs. Anyone who uses a computer or a smartphone, Case claims, is a cyborg. Consider the data that you have in your smartphone. It keeps information for you so you don’t have to remember it: notes, phone numbers, email addresses, messages. It also allows you to communicate with friends and family via telephone, text messages, email, and social networks.
The potential benefits of cyborg technology are evident, but can this new technology be harmful, too? Could we become too dependent on cyborg technology-and become less than human? These still remain questions.
27. According to the passage, the cyborg ______.
A. is similar to human beings B. has some device attached to the body
C. first appeared in space industry D. took root in fiction characters
28. With the help of cyborg technology, ______.
A. eyesight can be restored
B. the nerve injury can be repaired
C. lost abilities can be replaced by a new skill
D. hearing loss can be prevented by cochlear implants
29. Amber Case probably thinks that ______.
A. technology makes cyborgs become common
B. cyborg technology is crucial to modern society
C. the use of mobiles improves cyborg technology
D. cyborg technology helps improve human memory
30. What is the author’s attitude toward cyborg technology?
A. Critical. B. Skeptical. C. Optimistic. D. Objective.

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。
Social media, magazines and shop windows bombard people daily with things to buy, and British consumers are buying more clothes and shoes than ever before. In Britain, the average person spends more than £1,000 on new clothes a year, which is around four percent of their income. ___31___ But it hides two far more worrying trends for society and for the environment. First, a lot of that consumer spending is via credit cards. British people currently owe approximately £670 per adult to credit card companies. That’s 66 percent of the average wardrobe budget. Also, not only are people spending money they don’t have, they’re using it to buy things they don’t need. ___32___.
People might not realize they are part of the disposable clothing problem because they donate their unwanted clothes to charities. ___33___ Huge quantities end up being thrown away, and a lot of clothes that charities can’t sell are sent abroad, causing even more economic and environmental problems.
___34___ The idea originated in Canada in the early 1990s and then moved to the US, where it became a rejection of the overspending and overconsumption of Black Friday and Cyber Monday during Thanksgiving weekend. ___35___ Throughout the year, Buy Nothing groups organize the exchange and repair of items they already own. They send a clear message to companies that people are no longer willing to accept the environmental and human cost of overconsumption.
A. ‘Fast fashion’ goes out of fashion as quickly as it came in and is often too poor quality to recycle;
B. Britain throws away 300,000 tons of clothing a year, most of which goes into landfill sites.
C. The British people are deeply shocked by the unexpected statistics.
D. On Buy Nothing Day people organize various types of protests and cut up their credit cards.
E. However, a ‘buy nothing’ trend is springing up in opposition to consumerism.

三、书面表达：读后续写（共1小题；满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up, spilling his coffee over his notes.“How embarrassing. I am getting so clumsy in my old age.”
Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said,“Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment.”
Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. “I grew up in San Pedro. My dad was a fisherman. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed a big family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his mom and dad and the other kids that were still at home.”
He looked at us and said, “I wish you could have met my dad. He was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean. No matter how much my mother washed his clothes, they would still smell of the sea and of fish.”
Frank’s voice dropped a bit. “When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. He had this old truck that he used in his fishing business. That truck was older than he was. Half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch a cloud of smoke.He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a goodbye kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here, I was twelve years old. I was a big boy and my dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!”
He paused and then went on, “I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, ‘No, Dad!’
