I also needed to do laundry, so I walked to a nearby self-service laundry and stuffed a machine with my clothes. As I struggled to close the washer door, the woman working behind the counter told me to give it a good hit with my hand. The washer did its job, yet even after an hour, the dryer seemed to have barely warmed my clothes. I left, having decided to air-dry them on my car in the August heat.A month later, I learned her name was Sandy, which she told me after I’d helped her stop a washing machine from moving across the floor. I was grading poems at a table when one of the washers broke loose and skipped an inch into the air. I jumped to the machine and held on while she unplugged it. The next week, Sandy told me dryer No.8 was the fastest.It went on like this. I’d do laundry once a week, usually Thursday or Friday. Sandy worked Tuesday through Saturday and we’d talk small while I folded clothes. She told me about her son and his grades, the new dog they’d just adopted. She was fascinated that I was studying poetry. She teased (开玩笑) that it was harder making a living as a poet than as a laundry attendant. Even then I knew she was probably right.I began to recognize others there: workers taking breaks by the door, a mother and her baby, and even some delivery drivers. But Sandy was the center of my community. For nearly three years and almost every week, I’d do laundry and talk with her. We checked on each other and expected the other to be there. We asked where the other had gone when we missed a week. There was a note of concern for the other’s absence, a note of joy at their return.I’d found a place to stand on solid ground.；4．Why did the author leave with his wet clothes?A．He liked the August heat better. B．He had to go back to the class.C．He wanted to show off his new car. D．He didn’t think the dryer worked well.；5．Why did Sandy tell the author to use dryer No.8?A．She was warm-hearted. B．She needed a volunteer.C．She wanted to thank him. D．She was sorry for the mess.；6．What did Sandy think of a career in poetry?A．It was harder to fulfill. B．It was really fascinating.C．It was badly-paid work. D．It needed a lot of effort.；7．What can be inferred about the author from the passage?A．He formed a close friendship with Sandy. B．He made a lot of friends in college.C．He expected Sandy to do laundry for him. D．He often wrote to Sandy after graduation.C（研究报告）Feeling a bit bored? It could be just what you need to produce your best ideas, excite your creativity or simply give your brain a rest.Nowadays, in the age of round-the-clock entertainment, it’s (technically) trickier to be bored. If the show you’re watching has lost its spark, you can easily amuse yourself on social media without even leaving the sofa. But that’s not necessarily a good thing. Feeling disengaged from the task in hand, or a lack of stimulation (刺激), does have its benefits, according to researchers at the University of Central Lancashire.Being bored motivates you to search out something less boring to do. For example, if you decide there’s nothing worth watching on TV, you might choose to switch off and take up a new hobby. This, according to researchers, can explain why the lockdowns of the past two years saw a surge (激增) in creativity among people stuck at home from banana-bread-making to picking up a paintbrush for the first time since childhood.But what about those times when you have no choice but to stick with the boring situation, waiting for a bus, for instance? The good news is that the boredom you’re feeling now could spark your creativity later, says a 2019 study published in the Academy of Management Discoveries journal. People who’d taken part in a bean-sorting task later performed better at coming up with creative ideas than another group who’d been given something more interesting to do first.Ultimately, don’t take it for granted that there’ll always be something close at hand to entertain us. With boredom, we will not run the risk of becoming boring ourselves.；8．What does the author imply in paragraph 2?A．Wondering mind can be healthy.B．Social media can surely entertain us.C．Being bored may be something good.D．Being involved in the task is beneficial.；9．Why was the surge in creativity seen recently?A．People were stimulated by boredom.B．People were better equipped at home.C．People had more hobbies to choose from.D．People were more concerned about mental being.；10．What is the purpose of the bean-sorting task in the 2019 study?A．To create a boring situation. B．To reduce people’s boredom.C．To make a funny performance. D．To show an entertainment at hand.；11．What is the best title of the passage?A．What is the point of creativity?B．Are we more easily bored nowadays?C．How can we deal with daily boredom?D．Does boredom make us more creative?D（说明文）Face book has published its mind-reading wrist device and an augmented reality (增强现实) keyboard with future hardware products. The company’s Facebook Reality Labs division showed off the technologies on a virtual call with members of the media. Executives from the division talked about the technologies while videos of the projects were played for audience. The wrist device is capable of reading neurological (神经系统的) signals sent from aw’s brain down to his or her hand. It could read these signals to get a sense of what a user wants to do and copy the action in a virtual or augmented reality environment. “You actually have more of your brain dedicated to controlling your wrist than any other part of your body.” said TR Reardon, director of research science at Facebook Reality Labs. The Facebook researchers demonstrated “force” actions where a user could use his or her fingers in real life to hold and control virtual, far-away objects in augmented reality. The name of the action is a reference to Star Wars where certain characters can use “force” to control and move people or objects that are far away from them. Additionally, the company demonstrated electromyography wristbands (机电腕带) that users could wear to type on any surface as though they were typing on a physical keyboard. Although there is no keyboard, the wristbands would register the intention of a user’s finger stroke (挥笔动作) and note down the letters and words. . Facebook’s development of these technologies comes as the company prepares to release its first smart glasses this year. That device will be Ray-Ban glasses. Unlike smartphones, which rely on touchscreens, there is no current obvious input mechanism for smart glasses. Asked how soon these technologies may make their way to the public, Facebook CTO Mike Schroepfer said they are in the early stages of development and no doubt will bring much convenience to our future life.；12．Where did Facebook demonstrate the new technologies?A．On a virtual call  B．In a research paper C．At a press conference  D．In an IT magazine；13．What can we learn from the passage?A．The wrist device can only read neurological signals sent from a user’s brain.B．Electromyography wristbands are connected to a physical keyboard.C．There is no obvious input mechanism for Facebook’s smart glasses.D．These technologies have been put on the market.；14．What’s Mike Schroepfer’s attitude to the future of these technologies?A．Tolerant B．Critical C．Hopeful D．Indifferent；15．Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．Facebook and Its Goal B．Facebook, a Tech-companyC．Facebook and Its Development D．Facebook’s New Technologies  参考答案ADC DCCA CAAD ACCD
