21、Recently, I accidentally found a set of Hanfu l only wore once from the bottom of the cupboard. I remember buying them simply to match the ancient-style hair accessories (配饰) a friend gave me. It occurred to me that 1 had been trapped in the “birdcage effect”.

“Birdcage effect” means that when you get an item one day, you will prepare more things to match it. Weeks ago, I was in the company of friends engaged in shopping. One said that she wanted to buy a good writing pen to match the delicate notebook that her sister gave her, so that she would fall in love with taking notes on reading, and thus love reading, not just reading. I joked that she must have fallen for the “birdcage effect”. But the friend said with a smile: “Why not use the ‘birdcage effect’ instead?”

For the first time, I heard that the “birdcage effect” can be used in reverse (逆向). However, this can’t help but remind me of middle school, and I seem to have used the “birdcage effect”. Passing by a bookstore one day, I purchased a magazine and saw the call for contributions published in the magazine, so I started writing with eager hands, and then I fell in love with writing.

After shopping with my friends that time, I began to proceed to use the “birdcage effect”. I bought a small fresh tablecloth to decorate my desk, and a beautiful notebook to record my inspiration. When everything was ready, I started writing again.

But how can we get rid of the “birdcage effect” in many things, and even use the “birdcage effect” in the opposite way? Various “birdcages” unavoidably appear in life, but we can distinguish them. If it is not in line with the actual situation, it is a “negative birdcage”, then we must learn to stop losses in time and maintain a heart of abandonment and separation. If it is a “positive birdcage” that motivates us to develop upward, we can clarify our goals, shop or decorate appropriately, and motivate ourselves to move towards our goals. At this time, you will find that the “birdcage effect” is actually not so terrible!

【1】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．The application of the “birdcage effect” in life.

B．The necessity of using the “birdcage effect” in life.

C．The turning point of the author’s idea on the “birdcage effect”.

D．The author’s conflict with her friend over the “birdcage effect”.

【2】What is the author’s purpose in mentioning her middle school experience?

A．To recall her delightful days at school.

B．To explain the reason for her love with writing.

C．To confirm the positive of the “birdcage effect”.

D．To prove her knowledge of the “birdcage effect”.

【3】How can we make use of the “birdcage effect” positively?

A．By realizing this effect has two sides.

B．By promoting our personal consumption.

C．By recognizing this effect is not so terrible.

D．By guiding our acts to go with reasonable goals.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Getting Rid of the Birdcage Effect Confidently

B．Motivating Ourselves to Move Towards Our Goals

C．The Birdcage Effect: Influence on Consumer Behavior

D．The Birdcage Effect: How to Use It to Your Advantage

22、The majority of the world's most powerful and influential positions remain in men's hands. But the imbalance is gradually tilting — and it shows. In 2015, some of the biggest news and successes resulted from the actions of women. Here are the new faces who inspired, defied, guided or moved the world.

Loretta Lynch

Traditionally, the top U.S. law-enforcement official is not well-known outside of the United States, but Attorney General Loretta Lynch not only made headlines around the world, she also brought a particular kind of change that billions of people had longed for but thought was out of reach.

Lynch surprised the world by taking on the entrenched(根深蒂固), corrupt officials of FIFA, the governing body of the world's most popular sport, soccer. She had the bravery to do what nobody else had dared. FIFA officials, she declared, had engaged in "rampant(猛烈的), systematic and deep-rooted" corruption, and it was time to "bring wrongdoers to justice."

Ellen Johnson Sirleaf

When the Ebola epidemic(蔓延) took on alarming proportions in West Africa, it was tough for Liberia, one of the centers of the crisis.

Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the leader of Liberia, pleaded for international help. One reason the world responded is that the unbeatable President has international moral stature. She played a key role in guiding her country after cruel civil wars and received the Nobel Peace Prize for her effort.

Johnson Sirleaf not only helped bring an end to the epidemic, she did something just as remarkable: She revealed her emotions and admitted her faults. When it was all over she said she had been afraid, and conceded(承认) she had made big mistakes as a result of her fear. Then she showed gratitude. Instead of collecting honors, she thanked all the people and countries who made victory against Ebola possible.

Aung San Suu Kyi

The symbolic Burmese leader, also a Nobel Peace Prize winner, put the skeptics and the cynics(愤世嫉俗) to shame. To those who said nonviolent resistance could not defeat a vicious armed opponent, she seemed to say "just watch."

Following the footsteps of Mahatma Gandhi and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., she endured a long struggle against the pitiless military rulers of Myanmar. She gained international support for economic approval that helped persuade the generals to loosen their control, leading to elections in 2015 and an overwhelming victory for her National League for Democracy. She remains a global symbol of peaceful resistance.

Tu Youyou

It's a tough challenge to find a single human being who may be responsible for saving as many lives. The Chinese pharmacologist Tu Youyou, one of three winners of this year's Nobel Prize for Medicine, took a different route in attacking one of the world's biggest killers, malaria.

Research into ancient Chinese texts led her to discover the compounds that help prevent a disease that still kills about half a million people every year, transmitted by mosquitoes in water-logged jungles. The discovery has resulted in medication that has saved millions of lives.

【1】The main purpose of the passage is to ________.

A. tell us that men's status in the world was becoming less important in 2015

B. show readers the importance of several great women who were powerful in 2015

C. analyze the reasons why some great women became the 2015 biggest news

D. introduce several great women and their achievements in 2015

【2】Among the women mentioned above, who did not win the Nobel Prize?

A. Aung San Suu Kyi     B. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf

C. Loretta Lynch.     D. Tu Youyou

【3】Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was regarded as remarkable for the following EXCEPT ________.

A. that she contributed a lot to preventing the epidemic from spreading

B. that she appealed for international help in fighting against Ebola

C. that she bravely acknowledged her fear and her mistakes

D. that she expressed her gratitude to those who fought Ebola together

【4】It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A. some great women's successes are shaking the men's control of the world

B. thanks to Tu Youyou's discovery, the patients attacked by malaria will undoubtedly be saved

C. Aung San Suu Kyi won the victory with the guidance of Gandhi and Martin Luther King.

D. many people have dealt with the corruption of FIFA, but failed

23、According to a recent study, consuming three largely comparable meals each day to meet our energy demands may be the most effective method to prevent cognitive (认知的) deterioration. The study finds a link between skipping breakfast and a gradual failure in cognitive health. The study also reveals that eating more calories at one meal than another is not linked to a quick failure in cognitive function, but it does not improve cognition as much as eating balanced three meals daily.

With previous study focusing on how the quality of the food we consume can affect our health, there hasn’t been much research on how our daily energy intake is distributed and how it can affect our cognitive health over the long term, as well as if it might affect our risk of dementia (痴呆).

A recent study, in which the data from the 1997-2006 China Health and Nutrition Survey were analyzed, examines the possible impact of various meal schedules on cognitive decline in order to better understand this.

The poll (民意调查)collected submissions from 3,342 persons in China during a ten-year period, and their responses were included in the statistics. The average age was 62. 2, and people were at least 55 years old. The study did not include those who had severe cognitive deterioration.

Each participant underwent a dietary evaluation as well as a phone-based cognitive exam at the beginning of the study period. This test evaluated each person’s ability to recall words quickly and slowly, count backward, and subtract (减) 7 quickly from given numbers.

The findings demonstrate that, in comparison to either less balanced ways of absorbing one’s total caloric intake or less equally distributed ways of ingesting one’s total energy intake, eating three balanced meals each day is related with superior cognitive function.

【1】What does the underlined word “deterioration” mean in paragraph 1?

A．Increase.

B．Decline.

C．Exchange.

D．Spread.

【2】What is the main difference between the recent study and the previous one?

A．The contents.

B．The method.

C．The participants.

D．The process.

【3】How did the researchers do the recent study?

A．By doing experiments.

B．By analyzing previous data.

C．By interviewing senior people.

D．By examining people with cognitive disease.

【4】Which of the following may contribute to best cognition?

A．Skipping breakfast every day.

B．Three balanced meals per day.

C．Hunger-determined food time and amount.

D．A big lunch with a small breakfast and dinner.

24、   Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have undergone an “agricultural revolution”. On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power.

One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect.  Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.

Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real “mechanized hired hand” that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make startling changes in farming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. The complete mobilization of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.

【1】Which sentence carried the main idea of the whole passage?

A.The first sentence of the first paragraph.

B.The first sentence of the second paragraph.

C.The first sentence of the third paragraph.

D.The last sentence of the second paragraph.

【2】Which of the following statements is true?

A.Farmers in the future will depend totally on computers.

B.Both computers and robots have been in use on today’s farms.

C.Farmers mainly use machines on their farms at present.

D.Students at agricultural colleges must take computer classes because they can do nothing without the help of computers on today’s farms.

【3】According to the engineers, _______will be done by robots in the near future.

A.all farm work B.little work

C.some work D.most work

【4】What is the best title for the whole passage?

A.Computer, Farmers’ Best Friend B.Farmers in The Future

C.Computers and Robots D.The Agricultural Revolution

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

A Precious Dress

I was raised in a family where my parents were united in their way of bringing up children, but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out, and she managed the family budget effortlessly. Looking back, I honestly think I would be a different person if my mum hadn’t turned a dress into a life lesson I carry with me today.

If we complained about not having what another kid did, we’d hear something like I don’t care what so-and-so got for his birthday, you are not getting a car for your birthday or a lavish sweet-16 party. We had to earn our allowance (零用钱) by doing chores around the house. My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our dining table. Sometimes, I couldn’t even contain my envy of Chloe, a neighbourhood girl, always beautifully dressed, whose parents satisfied her with almost every need.

One day, my mother drove me downtown to buy some household necessities-and there it was in the shopping window. Pink, lovely, delicately trimmed (镶嵌着) with lace, the dress winked (眨眼) at me and I knew I had to have it. “It’s beautiful, ” my mother said when I pointed it out to her. “What a beautiful dress! ”

I tried to hide my desire at first. But then I guess I couldn’t stand it any longer. “Mum, please get it? I’ll do anything, but I need that dress. I love it. Please?”

I was desperate.

“You know,” she said, gently rubbing my back, “if you save up, you could buy this yourself.”

“By the time I make enough, it’ll be sold!”

“There might be a way,” she said.

And so our paying plan unfolded. Mum bought the dress and put it safely in some hiding place where I couldn’t find. Each week I eagerly counted my growing savings increased by extra work. Weeks later, I counted and jumped for joy. Oh, I made it! I finally had the exact amount we’d agreed on Having put on my dress, I flew to school like a bird. However, the unthinkable happened.

The moment I arrived at the school gate, Chloe appeared in exactly the same dress.

Hearing me crying loudly, Mum gently pushed open the door.
