A
I first met Joe Gumps when we were both 9 years old. which is probably the only reason why he is one of my best friends. If I had first met Joe as a freshman in high school, we wouldn’t even have had the chance to get to know each other.
Joe was a day student, but I was a boarding student. We hadn’t been in the same classes, sports or extracurricular activities. Nevertheless. I spent nearly every weekend at his house, and we talked on the phone every night. This is not to say that we would not have been compatible if we had first met in our freshman year. Rather, we would not have been likely to spend enough time getting to know each other, due to the lack of immediately visible mutual(共同的) interests.
In fact, to be honest, I struggle even now to think of things we have in common, but may be that’s what makes us enjoy each other’s company so much. When I look at my friendship with Joe, I wonder how many people I’ve known whom I never disliked but simply didn’t take the time to get to know. Thanks to Joe, 1 have realized how little basis there is. for the social divisions hat exist in every community.
Since this realization, I have begun to make an even more determined effort to find friends in unexpected people and places.
21. Why does the author say Joe Gumps became one of his best friends ?
A. They shared mutual friends in school.
B. They had known each other since children.
C. They shared many extracurricular activities.
D. They had many interests in common.
22. Which of the following can explain the underlined word “compatible” in the passage?
A. suited and fitted
B. consistent.
C. less-connected.
D. unsuitable or unfit.
23. According to the writer, what may be the obstacle for him not to spend time to know others ?
A. That he doesn’t like others’ company.
B. Being strange to others.
C. The lack of obvious mutual interests.
D. That he’s busy doing other important things.
24. What has the writer learned from his friendship with Joe?
A. Durable friendships can be very difficult to maintain.
B. One has to be respectful of other people in order to win respect.
C. ht is hard for people from different backgrounds to become friends.
D. Social divisions will break down if people get to know each other.
B
It’s the oldest trick in the book: threaten the kids with a piece of coal, and they’ll behave in the name of Santa Claus. Some people say that parents are purposely taking in their kids by lying to them about Santa Is it purposely cheating or playing along with the fantasy? There are always those stories about the kindergarten teacher or parent who would tell the kids there’s no Santa Claus, and they’d all start crying on the lost dreams. But if another teacher goes into a third grade class and says there is a Santa Claus, they’ll all laugh at her. What I say is that if they’re at the age when they’re still believing, why bother to end it?
Then how long should parents pretend? Studies indicate that after eight, 75 percent of kids don’t believe. That’s the first “S” word that parents have to deal with-it’s not sex, it’s Santa. So the parent has to sit down and say it in a gentle way, “Listen. Santa did exist. He was a person who gave to others and now that you’re older, you can give to others and be Santa too.”
Do you think if a kid who believes in Santa walks into a third or fourth grade class, his friends are going to tell him in a gentle way? No. They’re going to make fun of him, and the kid is going to run home crying, saying you lied to him. We all remember how the news is broken to us, so if we all remember, then there’s some significance or we would have forgotten it And it’s better to have a memory of someone doing it nicely than some kids laughing at you.
Santa is also used as an instrument of guilt, because Santa knows everything. So even if the kids did bad things and got away with them. Santa knew. Still. Santa alone is not a good behavioral tool. You can’t, in, say, January, play the Santa card to your child—because Christmas is too far away.
25. According to the first paragraph., parents should .
A. tell the kids that Santa does not exist
B. lie to their children on the problem of Santa Claus
C. not tell the truth if their children believe Santa Claus exists
D. tell children in advance in case of being laughed a by classmates
26. Why could your kid possibly be made fun of in the fourth grade?
A. He tells a lie that he believes in Santa.
B. He says Santa docs exist in this world.
C. He expects gentle talks from his friends.
D. He gives to others and acts as Santa does.
27. The underlined part in the last paragraph most probably means to .
A. play cards with children happily
B. talk the kids out of doing something bad
C. clarify the truth of Santa to the kids in a gentle way
D. let the children figure the problem out by themselves
28. The author’s intention in wring this text is to .
A . introduce the detailed story of Santa Claus in all aspects
B. prevent children from being laughed at by fellow classmates
C. help children to understand whether Santa Claus is real or not
D. instruct parents how to explain the existence of Santa Claus to kids
C
In the past many studies placed too much emphasis on how animals are trained to learn. But recently more and more studies have focused on how animals equip themselves to learn
One study started with a school field trip to a pine forest where many pine cones were discovered, stripped(剥壳) to the central core. So the investigation was directed at finding ou what was eating the pine seeds and how they managed to get them out of the cones. The culprit(犯罪者)proved to be the black rat, and the technique was to bite each cone from base to top, following the growth pattern of the cone.
Urban black rats were found to lack the skill. However, babies of urban mothers cross-fostered by stripper mothers acquired the skill, whereas babies of stripper mothers fostered by an urban mother could not. Clearly the skill had to be learned from the mother. In the case of ‘rats, the youngsters take cones away from the mother when she is still eating them, allowing them to acquire the stripping skill.
Another study, Bird Behaviour, provides a different view of the adaptiveness of social learning. It concerns the seed caching(hiding) behaviour of Clark’s Nutcracker and the Mexican Jay. The former is specialists, caching about 30,000 seeds in scattered locations that it will recover over the months of winter; the Mexican Jay will also cache food but is much less dependent on this than the Nutcracker. The two species also differ in their social structure: the Nutcracker prefers living alone while, the Jay, in social groups.
The experiment is to discover if a bird can remember where it hid a seed but also if it can remember where it saw another bird hide a seed. The design is funny with a cacher bird hiding food in a room, while watched by a caged observer bird. Two days later, cachers and observers are tested for their discovery rate against estimated random performance(预估随机表现) Both cachers performed above chance. More surprisingly, jay observers were as successful as jay cachers, whereas nutcracker observers didi no better than chance. It seems that, whereas the Nutcracker is highly skilled at remembering where it hid its own seeds, the social living Mexican Jay is more adept at remembering and so making use of, the caches of others.
29. Urban black rats were able to learn to strip when .
A. fed by stripper mothers
B. fostered by urban mothers
C. living with stripper babies
D. eating cones by themselves
30. In Bird Behavior Study, we can conclude that .
A. nutcraker observers perform well in remembering
B. the Clark’s Nutcraker has better learning skills
C. the Mexican Jay benefits from social living
D. jay cachers are only good at hiding food
31. According to the passage, both studies show that .
A. skills are equipped in childhood
B. skills improve by practice
C. animals study through playing
D. animals learn by examples
D
Oumuamua, an object falling through space that was discovered on October 19th, has already made history. The speed at which it is moving relative to the sun means that it cannot be native to the solar system. Its official name is thus 1I/2017 U1, with the “ I”standing for “interstelar(星际)—the first time this name has ever been used.
That is exciting Some scientists, though, entertain an even more exciting possibility what if Oumuamua is not an asteroid(小行星), as most think, but an alien(外星的) spacecraft? Asteroids come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, but Oumuamua seems particularly different. As best as astronomers can tell, it is cigarlike, being roughly 180 meters long bu only about 30 meters wide. That makes it longer than anything known of in the solar system. Such a shape would be a sensible choice for spaceship, since it would minimize the scouring(冲刷)effect of interstelar dust.
With that in mind the Breakthrough Listen project, an organization aimed at hunting for alien life, plans to turn the world’s biggest radio telescope, the Green Bank instrument in Virginia, towards Oumuamua to see if it can hear anything interesting Oumuamua is currently about twice as far from Earth as Earth is from the sun. At that range, the telescope should be sensitive enough to pick up a transmitter about as powerful as a mobile phone after just a few seconds-worth of observations.
Will it find anything? Almost certainly not. Oumuamua has the same reddish color as many asteroids, so probably has a similar composition. And if it really is a spaceship, it is strange that signs of its artificial origin have not been seen already. It could , in theory, be a derelict(遗弃星球). But in that case the telescope is unlikely to hear anything. By far the most likely option is that it is exactly what it seems to be: a huge space rock, one that has come to the solar system from the vast space between the stars.
32. What makes some scientists think Oumuamua is possibly an alien spacecraft?
A. Its size. B. Its color. C. Its shape. D. Its speed.
33. What does the underlined word “that” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. The research into the solar system.
B. The purpose of hunting for alien life.
C. The effect of interstelar dust on Oumuamua.
D. The possibility of Oumuamua being a spaceship.
34. What is Oumuamua most likely to be according to the author?
A. An asteroid.
B. A space rock.
C. Interstelar dust
D. An alien spacecraft.
35. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .
A. Oumuamua will return to where it’s from soon
B. Oumuamua’s real identity remains to be found out
C. astronomers have not seen signs of Oumuamua’s artificial origin
D.the Green Bank telescope has already heard something from Oumuamua

The Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said, “If you are depresses you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. 36
After centuries, this statement is still true. People are filled with anxiety, as they struggle to make a living or to keep up with society’s standards. 37 They are stressed because of what awaits, yet ignoring what they must do at the moment to establish a better future for themselves. Sadly, nearly one in 33 children and one in eight adolescents have clinical depression. In my view, the encouragement of unhealthy competition and perfectionism has led to his problem.
38 From an early age, my parents taught me to settle for nothing less than an A on my tests and papers. I was persuaded that my grades would determine my worth. Therefore, I denied all my friends’ invitations to their parties and practiced math over the weekend. I was embarrassed at the sight of a low A and felt pressured to keep an outward image of perfection. One day, my friend Neha said, “39 You’re president of the orchestra, an All-State violist(中提琴演奏手) an amazing tennis player, a straight A student, I mean, you’re perfect.” I smiled at Neha, though I knew that I wasn’t really perfect. 40 Preoccupied with viola, tennis, and keeping my high grades, I hadn’t given enough attention to my health. I didn’t experience depression or anxiety during this time, but I wanted to lie on the grass, on a summer day just watching the clouds move and to walk by the shore, watching the waves lap a the sand. I wanted to live in the present.
A. Michele, I wish were you.
B. I avoided pleasures and studied hard.
C. On the inside, I was stressed and anxious.
D. Anxiety problems affect one in eight children.
E. If you are at peace you are living in the present.
F. Certainly, I have experienced both the guilt and anxiety that Loo Tzu described.
G. They regret their past decisions, though they can not change what has already occurred.

Dear Mike,
I am writing to ask you to lend me a hand. This September, I am going to Canada for further education for half a year. I wonder if you could help me find a proper flat and a roommate.
As for the fat, I would really like to rent one with a kitchen, since I am not quite used to Western food and I love cooking. Internet access is a must. As you know, some assignments will require students to search for information on the Internet.
I would prefer a roommate who is friendly and respects others’ privacy. If she were easy-going, it would be much nicer.
I am extremely grateful for all your help. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
