21、In China, there are usually two reasons why people receive messages from friends and relatives from whom they haven’t heard for a while. The first is about New Year greetings, which are always welcome. The second reason is often less pleasant, however; people are increasingly contacting long lost friends, or even casual acquaintances, and urging them to cast online votes for their children or grandchildren in competitions.
The practice, which has been growing rapidly, has now reached the point where people are becoming tired and may even feel annoyed.
The results of a recent survey conducted by the Jinhua Evening News in East China’s Zhejiang Province show that 94 percent of 384 interviewees were once asked by friends or relatives to cast votes online for their children. The contests range from the “cutest baby” to dancing competitions, but in many is the people receiving the messages haven’t heard from the sender for a long time and have never met the child involved.
Although the competitions may appear to be harmless fun, some education professionals are concerned that they could have a negative effect on children.
Tang Sulan, a member of the CPPCC’s National Committee (全国政协)，proposed a ban on online competitions featuring children to prevent future psychological issues. She was also concerned that public disclosure of a child’s personal information and publication of photos cause a potential risk to the child’s safety.
Li Hongyan, the mother of an l1-year-old girl and an 18-month-old boy in Beijing, said she has never urged others to vote for her children. Although on the surface the children are competing among themselves via their parents’ social networks, the competitions are also about parents seeking a “sense of victory” for themselves, she Sid. “It feels as though parents are using their babies as tools to win glory for themselves, rather than truly respecting their kids’ dignity and nature.” However, despite her dislike of the contests, she has twice voted for the babies of close friends because “it would be embarrassing to say no”.
【1】What is the best tide for the text?
A. Receiving Messages: An Unhappy Experience B. TO Say No: An Embarrassing Experience
C. A Dilemma: Vote or Not D. Child’s Safety and Casting Votes on Line
【2】What does the underlined word “disclosure” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Exposure B. Concern. C. Reputation. D. Competition
【3】What can be inferred from Li Hongyan’s words?
A. Her children don’t want to join in those online competitions.
B. She urges people to vote for the babies of her close friends.
C. She agrees to bring the children to their parents’ social networks
D. She opposes the idea of parents seeking votes for children.
22、In 2007, a group of researchers began testing a concept that seems, at first blush, as if it would never need testing: whether more happiness is always better than less. The researchers asked college students to rate their feelings from “unhappy” to “very happy” and compared the results with academic and social outcomes. Though the “very happy” participants had the best social lives, they performed worse in school than those who were merely “happy.”
As with everything in life, happiness has its trade-offs. It may give you a life that you find you don’t want, one in which you don’t reach your full potential, you’re reluctant to take risks, and you choose short-lived pleasures over challenging experiences that give life meaning.
The way to understand the study above is not to deny that happiness is good; rather, it is to remember that a little bit of unhappiness has benefits. The author Emmy Gut argued in 1989 that some depressive symptoms can be a functional response to problems in the environment, leading us to pay appropriate attention and come up with solutions. In other words, when we are sad about something, we may be more likely to fix it. Psychologists call this the “analytical rumination hypothesis”.
Obviously, this is not to argue that clinical depression is good — misery can quickly make people incapable of solving problems. Rather, the analytical rumination hypothesis is evidence that getting rid of bad feelings does not necessarily make us more effective in our tasks. And if these emotions can help us assess threats, it stands to reason that too much good feeling can lead us to disregard them. The literature on substance use suggests that this is so: In some people, very high degrees of positive emotion have been connected to dangerous behaviors such as alcohol and drug use and binge eating.
So though suffering should never be anyone’s goal, each of us can fight for a rich life in which we not only seek the sunshine but fully experience the rain that unavoidably falls as well.
【1】What can be concluded from the 2007 study about happiness?
A．More happiness is always better.
B．Full happiness is not totally beneficial.
C．People should avoid happiness to lead a meaningful life.
D．Very happy subjects perform better than merely happy ones.
【2】What do we know about analytical rumination hypothesis?
A．People who are sad are not likely to take risks.
B．Bad feelings like depression might help solve problems.
C．People with depressive symptoms tend to ignore threats.
D．Clinical depression can lead to effective task performance.
【3】Which of the following would the author probably agree?
A．We should avoid good feelings.
B．A risky life is going to bring disappointment.
C．Happiness itself would lose its meaning without misfortune.
D．Dislike to happiness can lead us to abandon a meaningful life.

24、 On Oct. 2, carpentry students from Harvard H. Ellis Technical High School（ET）in the United States were putting the finishing touches on a handicapped ramp（残疾人坡道）at Northeast Placement Services. It was a thing of beauty, leading from a deck outside one building to the entryway of the new Community Education Center.
Students started the project a year ago, in April. ET has a rotating（循环的）schedule-two weeks of academic work followed by two weeks of shop work（车间工作）. For this ramp, some students were required to cut wood on a table saw. Others needed to cut a piece of deck railing to fill a gap. Department Head Jim Gallow moved among them, answering questions.
Their academic schedule made it difficult to finish the job very quickly. During the summer, work stopped altogether.
Senior Gabe Martel didn’t know he wanted to be a carpenter when he first arrived at ET. He soon found that the hands-on activity suited him.
“I knew I wanted a trade,” he said. “From day one, I thought carpentry was amazing.”
“There were a few tough people,” said Tristan Madden. “You have to learn to work with people.”
At the end of a job, there are just a few items to finish. Everyone else gets assigned clean-up duties.
Timothy Carpentier knew he wanted to be a carpenter since the sixth grade. He’d spent time working on projects with his father.
“I’d go to Home Depot when they taught things,” he said. “It was fun. Now, this is preparing me for the workforce”
“It’s rewarding to see what the students produce,” Gallow said.
The next project will be at the Brooklyn Fairgrounds, where students will rebuild a portion of the main stage. They’ll work through the winter months, unless it’s brutally cold.
“Like I tell them, you have to eat in the winter, too,” he said.
【1】what do we know about ET’s project at Northeast Placement Services?
A.It took no more than one year to complete.
B.It is inside a building for disabled people.
C.Students designed it on their own.
D.Students had to put theory into practice.
【2】What did Martel get from this project?
A.It helped him choose a career for the future.
B.It taught him to get along with people.
C.It prepared him for his dream job.
D.It taught him how to make a plan.
【3】What was Gallows attitude toward the students’ product?
A.Doubtful. B.Satisfied.
C.Unconcerned. D.Disappointed
【4】What does the underlined word “brutally” in the second to the last paragraph?
A.Warmly. B.Generally.
C.Extremely. D.Slightly.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右.
Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!”
“No,” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into mischief(trouble). Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me. ”
“You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.
