21、 Each day, 10-year-old Seth asked his mom for more and more lunch money. Yet he seemed skinnier than ever and came home from school hungry. It turned out that Seth was handing his lunch money to fifth grader，who was threatening to beat him up if he didn't pay.
Most kids have been made fun of by a brother or a friend at some point. And it's not usually harmful when done in a playful and friendly way, and both kids find it funny. But when teasing becomes hurtful, unkind, and constant, it crosses the line into bullying and needs to be stopped.
Bullying is intentional torment(折磨)in physical or psychological ways. It can range from hitting, name-calling and threats to blackmailing(勒索)money and possessions. Some kids bully others by deliberately separating them and spreading rumours about them. Others use social media or electronic messaging to make fun of others or hurt their feelings.
It's important to take bullying seriously and not just brush it off as something that kids have to tolerate. The effects can be serious and affect kids' sense of safety and self-worth. In severe cases, bullying has contributed to tragedies, such as suicides and school shootings.
Kids bully for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they pick on kids because they need a victim—someone who seems emotionally or physically weaker, or just acts or appears different in some way—to feel more important, popular, or in control. Although some bullies are bigger or stronger than their victims, that's not always the case.
Sometimes kids bully others because that's the way they've been treated. They may think their behavior is normal because they come from families or other settings where everyone regularly gets angry and shouts or calls each other names.
Unless your child tells you about bullying—or has visible injuries—it can be difficult to figure out if its happening.
【1】What is the author's purpose of telling Seth's story?
A．To introduce the topic of bullying.
B．To seek help for the victims of bullying.
C．To analyze the cause of bullying.
D．To display the effects of bullying on kid

A．Remove bullying.
B．Ignore bullying.
C．Avoid bullying.
D．Punish bullying.
【3】According to the passage, which of the following about bullying is NOT true?
A．Bullying is accidental behaviors.
B．Those who bully get emotional satisfaction.
C．The weak are easy to be bullied.
D．The experience of being bullied can lead to bullying.
【4】What will the following paragraph most probably talk about?
A．Problems of bullying.
B．Cause and effect of bullying.
C．Signs of bullying.
D．Psychological reasons of bullying.
22、 Beethoven is a giant of classical music. And the most influential, too—at least, when it comes to piano compositions. That's according to a study in the journal EP J Data Science.
If you're wondering how data analysis could determine something as abstract as cultural influence, it's worth remembering this: Music is the most mathematical of the art form, a lot of which is symbolic. The music is written in symbols that are connected in time.
Juyong Park is a theoretical physicist in South Korea. Park and his colleagues collected 900 piano compositions by 19 composers from 1700 to 1910. Then they used that mathematical quality to their advantage by dividing each composition into what they called “code words”, in other words, a chord. They then compared each chord to the chord or note that came after it, which allowed them to determine how creative composers were at coming up with novel transitions.
The composer with top marks for novelty was Rachmaninoff. But when the researchers looked at those chord transitions across all 19 composers, it was Beethoven who was most heavily borrowed from—meaning at least among the composers in this analysis, his influence was the largest.
Their study comes with some drawbacks. For example, the researchers only considered piano compositions in this work, and by only studying chord transitions, so their conclusions wouldn't relate to artists who were influential in other ways like Bach or Mozart. Park explained, “It's well understood that Mozart's contribution to music comes from the musical forms that he designed. That was not very well reflected by our mathematical modeling.”
As for Park, the results convinced him he has some listening to do. “Of course I listen to music. I like Rachmaninoff’s music, but I have to say I have listened to Beethoven way more than Rachmaninoff. So after this work came out, I ended up buying his whole complete collection.
【1】What makes it possible to determine musical influence?
A．The symbolic nature of music.
B．The analytical function of piano music.
C．The abstract feature of culture.
D．The rapid development of technology.
【2】Who is the most creative composer in the study?
A．Rachmaninoff.
B．Beethoven.
C．Bach.
D．Mozart.
【3】Why did Park make the explanation in paragraph 5?
A．To express his admiration for Mozart.
B．To compare Mozart with other musicians.
C．To introduce a way to design musical forms.
D．To show certain limitations of the study.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title of this text?
A．Beethoven: a Genius in Classical Music
B．Beethoven's Influence: Proved by Science
C．Chords: a New Way to Determine Music
D．The Art Form of Music : Written in Symbols
23、The story of the most sustainable pair of jeans is also the story of a family whose members have dedicated their lives to denim innovation. It is the great-great-grandson of the family business founder who has brought Candiani and whole fashion industry to new heights by creating the first fully biodegradable stretch denim.
Alberto Candiani, the current owner of Candiani, created the first fully biodegradable jeans using a plant-based yarn obtained from natural rubber. Once the innovative denim came to life, a brand new pair of jeans was put to the test by being buried in forest land for six months. At the end of that period, Candiani’s team discovered the fibers had almost fully broken down. The new technology is called Coreva. “These garments are extremely durable, but at the end of their life, you could send them back to us and we recycle them, or you could fertilize your vegetables with them,” Alberto Candiani said.
Jeans generate an environmental impact that has become a real global challenge. According to the United Nations Environment Programme, it takes around 2000 gallons of water to make a typical pair of jeans. And during production, around 71 pounds of carbon dioxide are released. What’s more, most jeans are manufactured with stretch denim made with plastic, which can take hundreds of years to degrade.
But by creating a circular model in which fabrics are biodegradable at the end of their lifecycle, tons of garments can be prevented from ending up in landfills. Candiani has not only achieved this by going plastic-free, but the manufacturer has also reduced water use by 75 percent and the use of chemicals by 65 percent. Although Candiani creates a product that is about double the price of traditional denim due to the higher labor and more manufacturing costs involved, business is booming. Not only has the company tripled its production, but its motto of “the greenest mill in the blue world” is credible.
【1】What is highlighted about Candiani in paragraph 1?
A．It is dedicated to clothing innovation.
B．It has the most sustainable pair of jeans.
C．It enters a new phase by creating greener fabrics.
D．Its founder’s taken the fashion industry to a new level.
【2】What do we know about the innovative denim?
A．It can be reused to nourish plants.
B．It is made of recycled materials.
C．It uses Coreva to make it extremely durable.
D．It can last for six months under the forest land.
【3】What’s the function of paragraph 3 in the passage?
A．To explain the possible reasons for global warming.
B．To show the bad effects of jeans on the environment.
C．To raise people’s awareness of environmental protection.
D．To emphasize the value of the new denim by contrast.
【4】Which of the following can best describe Candiani’s innovation?
A．Doing a hard but thankless job.
B．Killing two birds with one stone.
C．Putting the cart before the horse.
D．Solving the problem one and for all.
24、Five strange college course
Today’s college students have the chance to take a lot of special, even strange classes. Here are some of them.
Joy of Garbage
This class may sound like a “waste”, but the joy of Garbage class at Santa Clara University researches into the science and results of what humans eat and throw away. Students follow the path of trash as it’s treated, burned, reused, and they look at the environmental problems that arise. The class even goes tolocal sanitation（卫生）factories to explore and develops green methods for modern waste problems.
Learning from YouTube
Unlike most college courses, the Learning from YouTube course of Pitzer College is open to the public. While the class is fairly open, there is one big rule: All class-work, homework and discussions must take place on YouTube. The class meetings and other documents are even posted on the video-sharing site.
Daytime Serials
Are all those afternoon classes preventing you from staying up to date with "Days of Our Lives"? No worries. Just sign up for the University of Wisconsin’s Daytime Serials course. Students in this class watch daytime plays, discuss their storiesand study the social effects of men's and women's roles on the family and the workplace.
Superheros
How do you change physics into a more exciting subject? The University of California does so by studying the science behind superheroes like Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman. For example, students examine the physics of flying by studying Spider-Man.
Fat Studies
The Fat Studies course at George Washington University teaches students to think of body size critically(批判性地). It has a goal of developing weight acceptance among people of all shapes and sizes.
