21、How can you use curiosity to enjoy your studies more and improve your results? Below are some hints of how you can awaken your curiosity.

Listen to yourself when you ask questions

【1】 and your mind starts to question, don’t ignore it. If you can’t explore the answer right then, make a note to find out later. Questioning, exploring and investigating are good! It shows that you have an active and interested mind. Reward yourself by finding out the answer. The more you know about what you are studying, the better you will understand it.

Ask quality questions

Ask good questions such as “why” “what if” and “how”. The better the questions you ask, the more interesting answers you will find. 【2】.

Play around with new things and ideas

Learn to play with and think about your ideas, your feelings and new materials and objects. “What can you do with these ideas, feelings and things? Maybe they could be used in an essay, article, poem or science experiment, or could be a gift or favour for someone else.

【3】. Just because adults teach you, it does not mean that they know everything or the best way to do things. Young people are the future. Don’t be scared to put your ideas forward!

Work with new people in class

Don’t always join the same friends for group projects in class. 【4】. Where possible, choose to work with students who enjoy asking questions and finding out new things, or students who have a lively, curious mind.

【5】, and how it might relate to classwork

Have you heard something interesting in the news—a social problem or new technology that interests you? Find out more about it. Then remember if you have studied anything about that subject.

A．Something magical happens

B．Different people work differently

C．Keep an ear open for current events

D．If you can apply curiosity to your study

E．When you are reading or studying something

F．Always be prepared to think about things in new ways

G．All of this will contribute to your classroom learning

22、As both a parent and a college professor, I have witnessed the destructive effects of test anxiety. Students with it can say quickly the material and explain complex content in a relaxed environment but fail in an exam. When it matters the most, students with test anxiety can convey the least.

Some students turn to drugs. With any medicine, there is a concern for safety, particularly when it is with the brain, the body’s most complicated and important organ. A new study suggests there may be a choice to these drugs for students: an open-label placebo (安慰剂).

Placebos have long been known to effectively reduce symptoms for different illnesses. Traditionally, service of a placebo treatment requires some tricks, in that people believe they are receiving an active, effective treatment, but in reality, they are taking a sugar pill or an activity that has no medical help. An open-label placebo is different: people are told from the start that they are receiving a placebo that contains no medication. And yet Schaefer’s findings indicate that people may still benefit from it.

Why did the placebo work? At this point, scientists are not entirely sure. Human mental processes can be changed by environment. Taking the pills each day may have encouraged participants to think about test anxiety and may have also provided a sense that they were doing something to deal with it.

Finally, although participants taking the placebos did show improvement on a number of self-report measures, they had no benefit over the control group with respect to scores on their final exams. They may have felt better about taking their exams, but those feelings did not change into improved test scores.

Despite these limits, the present findings are appealing and suggest a low-cost, low-risk way for reducing an all-too common problem among students.

【1】What can be inferred from the first paragraph?

A．Test anxiety prevents some students perform normally in exams.

B．Test anxiety can improve some students’ performance after exams.

C．A relaxed atmosphere helps students bring out their best in exams.

D．Some students’ performance in exams is connected with environment.

【2】Why do people feel placebos effective?

A．Because people feel it necessary psychologically.

B．Because people’s psychological feelings are at work.

C．Because placebos are made from sugar and taste sweet.

D．Because placebos are an open choice for the people taking it.

【3】What can be concluded from the fourth and fifth paragraphs?

A．Taking placebos can reduce test anxiety.

B．Taking placebos can improve test scores.

C．Taking placebos is not as effective as taking drugs.

D．Taking placebos can increase sense of achievement.

【4】What can be the best title for the passage?

A．Drug, a public concern for brain safety.

B．Test anxiety, a destructive factor in exams.

C．Open-label placebo, a free choice for students.

D．Placebo, a likely way to deal with test anxiety.

23、   Escaping the stress of work and social worries and finding yourself in a winter wonderland is a magical feeling. Try to make any of these destinations your target and you'll be happy that you did!

l. Harbin city, China

Come and enjoy one of the most memorable Ice and Snow Festival during winter. Harbin City's snow festival draws a huge crowd because tourists want to feast their eyes of the well-known splendid ice structures.

These structures are the biggest ice structures you will find nowhere in the world and they get more beautiful at night when they are lighted up by diverse colored lights. Plus, you can go ice-skating under the beautiful Chinese lights.

2. Ohrid, Macedonia

Ohrid might be everyone's summer fantasy for sunbathing and swimming but have you thought about the picturesque view of its location in the winter? This peaceful little lakeside town looks charming with snow-covered cobblestones on the narrow walks. There is nothing as good as finding a Macedonian breakfast with some strong local coffee.

3. Svalbard, Norway

Polar bears love this location probably because of its arctic qualities. Here you can find wildlife and several ancient mining towns which collectively make the group of neighboring islands a beautiful sight. However, in winter, a beauty of nature described as the Polar Night takes place here, making it the most-favored destination worldwide. The sun doesn't set and leaves a blue twilight in the sky, coloring the nearby snow-capped mountains.

4. Richmond Park, UK

The Richmond Park is one of the prides on Londoners. In winter, you can see tens of wild deer all over the woody park, either wandering or eating grass at ease. The pouring ice draws visitors who are keen hikers or just want to enjoy a nice winter time doing snowball fight, flying in the sled.

【1】In which place can tourists see the world' s biggest ice structures?

A.Harbin. B.Ohrid.

C.Svalbard. D.Richmond Park.

【2】What attracts tourists most to visit Svalbard?

A.Polar bears. B.Ancient mines.

C.Arctic wildlife. D.Polar Night.

【3】What do the four places have in common?

A.They are all intended for foreigners. B.They all serve as winter destinations.

C.They all offer summertime activities. D.They all have snow-related exhibitions.

24、Look out, Einstein, a robot wants your job! This robot, named Adam, may be the first non-human to ever independently think up and test hypotheses in order to discover new scientific knowledge. Adam’s discoveries so far have something to do with yeast genetics — not nearly as mind-blowing as Einstein’s theories on relativity, but still impressive when you realize that nobody told Adam which yeast gene to study. “Adam makes up its mind about what to do,” Rose King of Aberyth University in the United Kingdom, the robot’s creator, told CBC News in Canada. “It decides what experiments to do and what to test.”

Of course, Adam’s choices are limited by the information King feeds it and the lab equipment it has access to. The physical robotic system includes robotic arms, a freezer, fans and equipment useful for biological research. Adam also has loads of data on yeast and other organisms.

To decide what to do, Adam finds a place where the yeast genetic data is incomplete, and then searches for complete information about similar genes in other organisms. By comparing all of this data, Adam is able to form a hypothesis and start experimenting. Adam can bring up to 1,000 new experiments each day.

Why Yeast? Biologists use this simple organism as a model for more complex ones, like human cells. So far, Adam has figured out the functions of 12 different yeast genes. When King and his team tested Adam’s results, everything was correct. Eventually, Adam will be able to move beyond yeast as long as King uploads the data necessary for new experiments. King’s team has also built a new robotic scientist named Eve. This robot will screen new drugs for diseases like malaria.

Robotics has been useful in scientific laboratories for a long time, but usually the machines just do the work and deal with data that humans have to sort through. This is the first time a robot has not only designed its own experiment, but determined its own results! Still, modern Einsteins should not worry about being replaced. Robot scientists like Adam are much more likely to be lab assistants rather than brilliant theorists.

【1】Adam is different from other robots mainly because he________.

A．can do experiments on its own

B．can do a better job than Einstein

C．has found new discoveries on relativity

D．is created by a scientist named Rose King

【2】In the future, Adam will be likely to________.

A．work with other robotic scientists

B．create new drugs for human diseases

C．experiment with more complex organisms

D．discover the functions of 12 different yeast genes

【3】According to the passage, we can infer that ________.

A．Adam will successfully become a brilliant theorist

B．Adam is the only robotic scientist in the world

C．Adam can not determine its own experiment results

D．Adam can not completely replace the human scientists

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。

When I was in high school in the 1980s, Jane Fonda’s workout tapes were so popular. But in those days, I was far from a workout participant.

My lack of athleticism finally caught up with me after I quit smoking and put on a lot of weight. By the time I was forty-five, I was 252 pounds. Even at six feet tall, that was way too much weight for my body. I also felt like life was passing me by, but I didn’t know what was next for me. So when I had the opportunity to enter a contest to meet Jane Fonda through a SiriusXM Town Hall event, I crossed my fingers and entered the lucky draw.

To my great surprise, I was one of the winners. I thought this was a sign that my luck was changing. I had always enjoyed Fonda’s movies and was thrilled to have the chance to meet her. So I made up as much as I could, put on my best dress, and brought my best friend Jon along to meet Jane Fonda.

Fonda was seventy-five then and looked great in person, wearing all black and looking decades younger. Not only that, but she was so kind and friendly. She really made me feel special as we discussed a film I had recently seen her in called Peace, Love &Misunderstanding. We posed for a picture together, and I even got the opportunity to ask her a question at the event.

One of the radio network’s organizers promised to send me the photo of us, so I was thrilled when I received an e-mail from her the next day with the Jane Fonda picture. But my excitement turned into embarrassment and disgust when I got a good look at the photo.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

That picture gnawed at me.
