22、Carlotta sits down to draw a self-portrait (自 画像).The room is very dark, lit just by a few candles. She doesn't need light, because she's not using a mirror or a photograph --- instead, with one hand she traces the outline of her face, while her other hand draws the shapes on paper.

“It's always a surprise when I see my drawings in daylight,” she says.

Carlotta is an artist. Her apartment is filled with self-portraits - about 1,000 of them, she thinks. Each one is completely different, and they have an otherworldly quality. Shapes overlap. Several heads may be projected on top of each other, sometimes upside down. In one, she has three eyes, in another six.

If she catches sight of herself in a mirror, Carlotta will think, “The woman looking at me is in my clothes and in my flat, so it must be me." She will also recognize her hair - it's what happens underneath those gray curls that's a mystery.

Carlotta's condition began to cause problems when she was a young girl, in Munich in the 1960s, though at first no one really noticed. School was a horrible experience. Everyone looked the same to her. The children bullied (欺凌)her. "If a child can't recognize her classmates, then she must be stupid/5 she says.

"Art was definitely an escape for me - without it, I wouldn't be where I am now ," she continues. “In making art, I was able to deal with a lot of the emotions and the difficulties I experienced in my childhood. Face blindness has had a major effect on my life but has also given me a sense of purpose as an artist - to make self-portraits of the face 1 cannot picture in my mind.”

【1】How does Carlotta draw self-portraits?

A．By using a mirror.

B．By observing light changes.

C．By feeling the outline of her face.

D．By copying her photograph.

【2】What does Carlotta's condition refer to in paragraph 5?

A．She couldn't recognize faces.

B．She liked drawing self-portraits.

C．She was bullied by other children.

D．She wasn't as smart as her classmates.

【3】What message is conveyed in the passage?

A．Still waters run deep.

B．Rome is not built in a day.

C．He who laughs last laughs best.

D．Misfortune may prove a blessing.

23、It was December 2018.UPS driver Ryan Arens was making his rounds near a pond in Bozeman, Montana, when he heard a strange sound. It came from a brown-and-white hound(猎犬）,struggling to hold on tightly to a thin layer of ice.

How it got there no one knows,but an elderly man was already on the scene.He'd entered the pond in a rowboat,breaking the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog.It was going slowly,and Arens,44, thought he stood a better chance.

“Animals are my weakness,” he told the Great Falls Tribune, explaining why he took off his clothes and asked the elderly man to use his rowboat.

Arens slid closer to the dog and used the other man's rock to smash at the ice.He lifted the stone too high and slipped off the boat,crashing into 16-foot deep cold water.He resurfaced in time to see the dog going under.Using nervous energy to keep warm,he swam about five feet toward it.He grabbed hold of its collar,and pulled it to the ice.He then lifted the dog into the boat and slid back to the shore,where anxious bystanders carried the dog to the home of a retired veterinarian (兽医）.

The next day, Arens was back working the same neighborhood when the dog's owner came over to thank him for saving it."Would you like to meet it?"he asked.He opened the door to his pickup,and it sprang out.It leapt on Arens and bathed him in wet kisses.

“That special delivery,” says Arens, “was the highlight of my UPS career.”

24、There is more that comes with older age than greying hair and wrinkled skin When humans reach their later years, they favour more established friends and their social circle is reduced.

Now, for what appears to be the first time, scientists have seen the same behaviour in another species. Twenty years of observations of chimpanzees (猩猩) reveal that older males choose to hang out with their long-term friends at the expense of other relationships.

The researchers studied 78, 000 hours of observations made between 1996 and 2016 that followed the social interactions of 21 male chimpanzees between the ages of 15 and 58 years old. They classified the chimps’ relationships depending on the amount of time they sat with others and groomed (梳毛) them. They then rated the various pairings as mutual (相互的) friendships, where both chimps seemed to enjoy the relationship; one-sided friendships, where one chimp was more keen to be friends than the other; and non-friendships, where neither chimp showed interest in the other.

When the scientists looked at the patterns of friendships, they found that the older chimps had more mutual friendships and fewer one-sided friendships than younger chimps. Another feature seen in older humans was also spotted in the chimps. As the males got older, their levels of aggression (挑衅) tailed off, meaning they started fewer fights and tended to intimidate others in their group less often.

The observations have left the researchers puzzled. According to an idea in psychology known as socioemotional selectivity theory, or SST, older humans prefer more positive relationships because they are aware time is running out. But many animal experts argue that chimpanzees lack the human sense of mortality (死亡), suggesting something else is driving the behaviour.

Robin Dunbar, a professor of evolutionary psychology at the University of Oxford, said in humans, the decline in social circles with age is due to declining social motivation to get out and meet people combined by lack of opportunity. In chimpanzees, as older males compete less for mates, they may focus on close, reciprocal (互惠的) relationships with trusted partners, she said.

【1】What do older male chimpanzees favour?

A．Old friendships.

B．New bonds.

C．Greying hair.

D．Wrinkled skin.

【2】How did the researchers draw their conclusion about chimpanzees?

A．By turning to other scientists.

B．By introducing a new concept.

C．By forming relationships with them.

D．By analyzing two decades’ observations.

【3】What does the underlined word “intimidate” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．Threaten.

B．Motivate.

C．Defend.

D．Accompany.

【4】According to Robin Dunbar, what accounts for declining social circles in chimpanzees?

A．Awareness of time.

B．Less competition for mates.

C．Low motivation for socialization.

D．Lack of the human sense of mortality.

25、One day, a man who owned a boat asked a painter to paint the boat for him. The painter brought with him paint and ______ and began to paint the boat bright yellow, as the owner asked him. While painting, he ______ there was a hole in the boat and decided to ______ it immediately. When he finished painting, he received his ______ and left.

The next day, the owner of the boat suddenly came to the painter’s home and ______ him with a nice check (支票), much ______ than the payment for painting, the painter was ______. “You’ve already paid me for painting the boat!” he said.

“In fact, this is not for the paint ______. It’s for having repaired the hole in the boat.”

“But it was such a(n)______ service. Certainly it’s not worth ______ me such a high amount for something so unimportant！”

“My dear friend, you do not understand how ______ I am to you for your kind behaviour. Now let me tell you what ______. When I asked you to paint the boat, I ______ to mention about the hole. When the boat dried, my kids took the boat and ______ a fishing trip. They did not know that there was a ______ in the boat. I happened to be outside at that time. When I returned and noticed they had taken the boat, I was ______ because I remembered that the boat had a hole. Imagine my ______ and joy when I saw them returning from fishing.”

“Then, I ______ the boat and found that you had repaired the hole! You see, now, what you did? You saved my children! I do not have enough money to pay your ‘small’ good deed.”

In our daily life, we often consider it our duty to complete our own job without giving a second thought to extra work.
