21、At the present time, the Internet is a major part of our lives. It’s always in our hands or pockets. Whatever we are doing is somehow linked(连接) to the Internet. We start finding our connections online as well, which is quite impressive. We find a person on a social media platform (社交媒体平台),see we have a shared interest and start chatting!

Online friendships in the past were doubted and not considered reliable because you didn’t know who was behind the screen. But now, when we can go shopping online, clear bills in online banks, and virtually attend schools, why can’t we find some real friends online?

With online friends, there are several advantages. When we find something catchy in someone — the very first quality of our online friend, we only then encourage ourselves to find ways to talk to them. We can share with them our everyday things, and what’s better than texting our friends our secrets? We can be present together with them on interested forums(论坛). We can share looks just through a click. And the best part is that we can shoot them a real quick message whenever we need their expert advice.

With all these strengths of an online friend, also come some weak points which make some people afraid to find their friends online. Some people believe that the person they are talking to on the screen is not real or trying to get information about their private life. They feel uncomfortable sharing and chatting with a person who they’ve never met in real life. Another problem that comes in the way of online friends is hanging out. People can’t really hang out with their online friends. The other problem is miscommunication, which sometimes leads to the end of a friendship.

Despite all these problems, online company is a perfect form of relationship between two or more. After all, we would notice these problems in any other kind of relationship or friendship. Miscommunication or a trust issue is always present even in face-to-face communication.

【1】What is paragraph 1 mainly about?

A．How the Internet has changed our daily life.

B．whether people should make online friends.

C．Why a good friendship is difficult to develop.

D．What made making friends online a reality.

【2】What might the underlined word “reliable” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Easy.

B．Possible.

C．Dependable.

D．Lasting.

【3】How does the author support his view?

A．By telling stories.

B．By making comparisons.

C．By explaining general rules.

D．By providing research results.

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards online friendship?

A．Doubtful.

B．Neutral.

C．Unclear.

D．Supportive

22、The most important life lesson I’ve learned from running is to run at my own pace. This lesson has guided me in many ways. In particular, it made me challenge the fixed expectations of retirement and aging.

Running is a metaphor (隐喻) for life. I realized this while training for a marathon to celebrate my 60th birthday. All the other runners being faster than me made me embarrassed, but my coach shared some valuable advice: run at your own best pace — setting a goal or target time could be a limitation. He was right. Over time I ran more easily and faster. I also enjoyed the experience much more.

I have applied this principle to other areas of my life. Finding a rhythm is not about efficiency or how many things I can get done in a day. It has more to do with what I decide to do at this stage in my life. Running carries its own set of expectations, including what people at certain life stage should be doing or not doing. Expectations at my age can center on how leisure time is spent, decisions about employment, and even the role of a grandparent.

I used to think it was young people who bore the impact of peer pressure, but older adults can experience it too. This is ironic, because often later in this life is a time when we tend to care less about the opinions of others.

I’m not suggesting we postpone dreams. Of course, we should do what matters to us, but it’s easy to view retirement as another occupation with benchmarks (基准) to be met. It’s a comparison trap that makes what someone else does the reference point.

Forget what others are doing. Their pace is not necessarily the pace you should run at. Run at your own way. Our bodies know what they need. Our hearts know what they need. In living life on our own terms, we will likely feel stronger in body, mind and spirit.

【1】What motivated the author to participate in marathon?

A．Her eager interest in running.

B．Her strong curiosity for marathon.

C．Her keen wish to celebrate her birthday.

D．Her urgent need to enhance her strength.

【2】What do the underlined words “this principle” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?

A．Setting a target time.

B．Finding your limitation.

C．Challenging fixed idcas.

D．Running at your own pace.

【3】How does the author feel about being retired?

A．Nervous.

B．Confused.

C．Optimistic.

D．Grateful.

【4】What can we know about the author?

A．She benefits from the coach’s words.

B．She used to be a professional runner.

C．She sees the value of a reference point.

D．She’s suffering a lot from peer pressure.

23、Based on a new series of experiments, researchers now believe the slower a person’s tendency to walk, the less able their brain.

Researchers performed gait (步态)-speed analysis on hundreds of middle-aged people, comparing the results with a range of physical and psychological measures. Doctors have long used walking speed to gain a quick and reliable understanding of older people’s cognitive capability (认知能力). Until now, however, no one knew it could mean potential brain health so much earlier in life. The correlation was so obvious that the US scientists now say walking tests could be used to provide an early indication of dementia (痴呆).

The study showed an average difference of 16 IQ points between the slowest and the fastest walkers at the age of 45. This reflected both the participants’ natural walking speed and the pace they achieved when asked to walk as fast as they could.

In the study, slower walkers were shown to have “increasing aging” on a 19-measure range designed by researchers, and their lungs and teeth tended to be in worse shape than the people who walked faster.

The team at Duke University in North Carolina said genetic factors may explain the link between walking speed, brain ability and physiological health, or that better brain health might promote physical activity, leading to better walking speed.

“The thing that’s really striking is that this is in 45-year-old people, not the older patients who are usually assessed with such measures.” said Dr. Rasmussen, who led the research. The 904 New Zealand men and women who were tested at 45 were tracked from the age of three, each experiencing many tests over the years. The long-term data collection enabled researchers to find that little kids with lower IQ scores, language ability, ability to tolerate setbacks, tended to have slower gait speeds by middle age.

The researchers said some of the differences in health and cognition may be the result of lifestyle choices individuals have made. But the study also suggests that there are already signs in early life of who would become the slowest walkers. “We may have a chance here to see who’s going to do better health-wise in later life,” said Dr. Rasmussen.

【1】What does the underlined word “correlation” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Proof.

B．Difference.

C．Problem.

D．Link.

【2】What makes the findings of the study reliable?

A．The collection of long-term data.

B．The difference in walking speed.

C．The advances in medical technology.

D．The development of cognitive capability.

【3】Who is going to be much healthier in middle age according to Dr. Rasmussen?

A．Those walking faster.

B．Those with lower IQ scores.

C．Those going through many tests.

D．Those without experiencing setbacks.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A．How to Keep Healthy?

B．Walking Slows Aging

C．Slow Walkers Have Slow Minds

D．The Link Between Sports and Health

24、Essay

April 12  Rainy
