21、Do you have good friends? Do you sometimes feel so close to them that they are like family to you?

It turns out that this isn’t just an expression. A study by Yale University and the University of California, San Diego, has found that you and your friends have more genes in common than strangers do, the Guardian reported.

Researchers looked at the genes of 1,932 people and compared them in pairs of unrelated friends and strangers. They found that friends have 1 percent of genes that match.

“One percent may not sound like much to the layperson (外行), but to geneticists (遗传学家) it is a significant number,” Professor Nicholas Christakis of Yale University told Discovery News. In fact, this is the same amount of genes you share with your fourth cousins, those who have the same great-great-great grandparents as you.

So is it a coincidence that you become friends with people who share your genes? Not at all. In fact, it is evolution that brings you together.

People who share certain genes also share skills and have similar likes and dislikes, researchers said. In ancient times, it was critical that people who were alike stayed together. For example, people who had a similar susceptibility (易感性) to the cold were more likely to help each other build a fire, giving them a better chance to survive.

Researchers also found that among all the genes studied, those affecting sense of smell were the most similar in friends. This is probably because people who smell things in the same way are more easily drawn to similar environments. For example, people who like the smell of coffee may hang out at cafes more often and are therefore more likely to meet and become friends with each other.

Based on their findings, the team has developed an interesting test called the “friendship score”. It calculates how big the chances are that two people will be friends by studying their genes.

So, here is a question for you: would you like to take this test and know in advance who your friends are going to be, or would you still prefer to figure it out by yourself and let time be the judge?

【1】What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article?

A．To explain why friends share skills and interests.

B．To report on recent findings about making friends.

C．To analyze what influences the way people make friends.

D．To explain an interesting test called the “friendship score”.

【2】According to the researchers of the study, people _______.

A．form friendships by complete coincidence

B．are genetically similar to their friends, compared to strangers

C．make friends with those who share nearly 10 percent of their genes

D．may share more similar genes with their friends than with their fourth cousins

【3】With the examples of ancient people developing the ability to speak and helping each other build a fire, the author intends to _______.

A．show how ancient people helped each other survive

B．explain that similar interests are what lead to friendship

C．show that it is evolution that brings friends together

D．tell us why it was easier for ancient people to find friends

【4】According to the article, people with similar genes that affect their sense of smell ______.

A．like to hang out at cafes more often

B．are easily attracted to the smell of their friends

C．are more likely to be attracted to a similar environment

D．can identify people in a crowd who can become friends

22、   Posing for a picture and flashing the V sign may expose your fingerprints, giving criminals an opportunity to steal your important information.

Researchers with the National Institute of Informatics in Japan successfully got fingerprint information from a picture during an experiment, even though the subject was photographed from three meters away, according to the newspaper.

“Once you share them on social media then they’re gone. Unlike a password you can’t change your fingers.”

Biometric（生物统计的） security is reaching the mainstream with more than 50 percent of mobile phones set to include fingerprint recognition for the first time in 2017. The technology is also used in immigration control and for access to high-security controlled areas.

Photos that include both people's faces and fingers run a higher risk of revealing personal information, and the risk for celebrities is even higher.

Chinese experts in fingerprint identification confirmed the possibility. "Technically, we can use high-definition video cameras to obtain people's fingerprints," said Dr. Yin Desen of the First Institute of the Ministry of Public Security. He also said that people's external features are easily recorded. However, compared to video, it is more difficult to obtain fingerprints through just one photo.

According to experts, criminals are able to use counterfeit fingerprints to commit crimes, such as stealing fingerprint passwords and signing agreements. Yin warned that people should pay more attention when they leave fingerprints or use them as passwords.

【1】What is the difference between passwords and fingerprints?

A.Passwords can be changed.

B.It is simple to recognize fingerprints.

C.Fingerprints have a higher security level.

D.Passwords depend on users’ experience.

【2】Which of the following statements is not mentioned as the use of biometric security?

A.Fingerprint recognition.

B.Immigration control.

C.Vehicle identification.

D.High-security controlled area.

【3】What does the underlined word “counterfeit” probably mean in the last paragraph?

A.Reliable. B.False.

C.Genuine. D.Unique.

【4】What can we infer from the text?

A.People should use passwords.

B.All the photos run a high risk of exposing personal information.

C.Passwords can be more easily stolen than fingerprints.

D.It’s easier to give away information of fingerprints through video.

23、“Beauty is only skin deep." This expression means that beauty is only a temporary surface quality. Some beauty products can cause lasting damage that goes far below the surface of the skin.

In America，many people use sunlight and non-natural light to darken their skin. Health

experts advise against what is called“tanning”because of its links to akin cancer. In the African country of Senegal（塞内加尔），some women take health risks trying to do just the opposite.

An average beauty supply shop in Dakar has many kinds of skin-lightening creams and

soaps. The World Health Organization says that 25％of Senegalese women use skin-lightening production a usual basis. These products can contain chemicals，like mercury（汞）， hydroquinone（对苯二酚），etc. These are dangerous ingredients that can cause cancer and possibly other physical damage to the akin. They can actually burn the eyes and skin.

Shop worker Adama Diagne advises her visitors to avoid the stronger products that promise fast results. She users a cream that is made from carrots，not the strong chemical，hydroquinone.

She says that it is a personal choice and that no one pressures her. Some women want to be black every day，but for her，she likes to be a shade of brown. Women in Senegal say they lighten their skin for the same reason that women all over the world make changes to their appearance. They say they want to look beautiful，to find a husband，

to stand out in a crowd or simply to look great for a special event. This thinking troubles Senegalese film-maker Khardiata Pouye Sall. So，she made“This Color That Bothers Me"，a film about the subject of skin lightening. She said，“I used the most

shocking images so that women would see the dangers. It is hard to understand why a woman says that dark skin is not beautiful. It is in their heads. They want to please a man，to he loved or they want to please society，to succeed."

Ms. Sall says that the government needs to better control the marketing and the sale of skin-lightening products. But she adds that education is the best way to persuade people against using them.

【1】The underlined part“the opposite" in Paragraph 2 means some Senegalese women ．

A. use sunlight to darken their skin

B. try creams to prevent skin cancer

C. use products to lighten their skin

D. take health risks to become beautiful

【2】According to Adama Diagne，women shouldn't believe ·

A. beauty is just a personal choice

B. a cream from carrots is healthier

C. it is beautiful to be black every day

D. a product can make you beautiful quickly

【3】We can infer that women in Senegal   ．

A. attract attention with shockingimages

B. don't consider dark skin to be beautiful

C. find it hard to understand the true beauty

D. put beauty in the first place in their heads

【4】What is Sall's attitude towards skin-lightening products?

A. Unsupportive.  B．Casual.  C. Responsible.  D. Positive.

24、Everyone wants to live longer. And we’re often told that the key to doing this is making healthier lifestyle choices. Studies have shown that diet can increase lifespan (寿命).

The researchers brought together data from many studies that looked at diet and longer lives. Combining this data, the researchers were then able to discover how lifespan varied with changes in intake of fruit, vegetables, grains, legumes, processed meat, sugary drink etc.

Compared with the typical western diet containing high amounts of high-calorie food and low fruit and vegetable intake, the researchers were then able to produce an optimal diet with more legumes, whole grains and nuts, and less red and processed meat.

The researchers found that eating an optimal diet from age 20 would increase lifespan by more than a decade. They also found that changing from a western diet to the optimal diet at age 60 would increase lifespan by eight years. For 80-year-olds, lifespan could increase by almost three and a half years. These results show us that the gains are largest if these changes start early in life.

However, there are also a few things the study didn’t take into account. First, to see these benefits, people needed to make changes to their diet within a ten-year period. This means it’s uncertain if people may still see benefits to their lifespan if they make changes to their diet over a longer period of time. The study also didn’t take past ill-health into account. This means that the benefits of diet on lifespan reflect an average and may be different for each person depending on a variety of other factors, such as ongoing health issues and lifestyle like smoking, drinking and exercise.

【1】The underlined word “optimal” in paragraph 3 means ______.

A．limited

B．useless

C．perfect

D．expensive

【2】What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?

A．The effects of the study.

B．Limitations of the study.

C．Measures to benefit from diet.

D．The major factors in producing the diet.

【3】What do we know about the study?

A．The benefits of the optimal diet vary from person to person.

B．The optimal diet can function well in a short period of time.

C．People who change their diet later live longer than those earlier.

D．The optimal diet always works wonders despite unhealthy lifestyle.

【4】Where is the text probably from?

A．A history textbook.

B．A fiction novel.

C．A chemical paper.

D．A health magazine.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

The Zeigarnik Effect

Have you ever found yourself thinking about a partially finished project for school or work when you were trying to focus on other things? Or perhaps you wondered what would happen next in your favorite TV show or film series. If you have, you’ve experienced the Zeigarnik effect. You tend to remember unfinished tasks better than finished tasks. Knowledge of the Zeigarnik effect can be put into use in everyday life.

The effect is especially well suited for helping overcome procrastination or delaying an action to a later time. We often put off big tasks that seem overwhelming. However, the Zeigarnik effect suggests that the key to overcoming procrastination is to just get started. The first step could be something small and seemingly insignificant. In fact, it’s probably best if it’s something fairly easy.

The Zeigarnik effect can be useful for students who are studying for an exam. The effect tells us that breaking up study periods can actually improve recall. So instead of cramming for an exam all in one sitting, breaks should be scheduled in which the student focuses on something else. This will cause intrusive（侵入的）thoughts, enabling students to rehearse and consolidate the information that must be remembered, leading to better recall when they take the exam.

The Zeigarnik effect also points to reasons why people may experience mental health problems. If an individual leaves important tasks incomplete, the intrusive thoughts that result can lead to stress, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, and emotional distress. Conversely, completing a task can give an individual a sense of accomplishment and lead to a feeling of closure that can improve psychological well - being.

The Zeigarnik effect can actually be used to positively impact your work productivity.
