21、Sharing truly is caring, even among babies. A recent study found that babies would not only offer up their food to a hungry stranger but will do so even when facing hunger themselves. The study which included 100 19-month-olds, was done by the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences (I-LABS).
Lead author on the study and researcher at I-LABS, Rodolfo Cortes Barragan, said, “We think altruism is important to study because it is one of the most unique aspects of being human. We adults help each other when we see another in need and we do this even if there is a cost to the self. So we tried out the roots of this in babies.”
The researchers monitored how the babies behaved when different fruits — such as strawberries, bananas, and grapes — were presented in front of them. They also divided the babies into two groups: the “Non-begging” group and the “Begging” group. The experimenter dropped a piece of fruit and pretended to be unsuccessful when trying to reach for it, indicating that they were begging for the lost food. More than half of the babies picked up the food and gave it to the researcher!
Then researchers brought in some babies, all of the the same age, right before their scheduled mealtimes. Again, researchers showed the same behavior. “The babies in this second experiment looked longingly at the fruit, and then they gave it away!” said Andrew Meltzoff, the Co-Director of I-LABS. “We think this captures a kind of baby-sized version of altruistic helping.”
After researchers analyzed the data, they found that babies that came from families with brothers and sisters or specific cultural backgrounds were also more likely to help. “We think certain family and social experiences make a difference, and continued research would be desirable to more fully understand what maximizes the expression of altruism in young children,” Barragan said. “If we can discover how to promote altruism in our kids, this could move us towards a more caring society.”
【1】Why did the researchers conduct the research?
A．To know how food attracts babies.
B．To see whether babies help each other.
C．To test the origins of altruism in humans.
D．To find the motivation of babies to help others.
【2】How did the babies in the second experiment differ from those in the first one?
A．They were of all ages.
B．They had brothers or sisters.
C．They were hungry when tested.
D．They came from special families.
【3】What may researchers do in future research?
A．Discover what kids like to share.
B．Find ways to motivate kids’ altruism.
C．Focus on kids’ aggressive behavior.
D．Learn about how to create a caring society.
【4】Which can be the best title for the text?
A．Kids’ altruistic Behavior Counts
B．Food Sharing Helps Promote Friendship
C．Family Backgrounds Affect Babies’ Habits
D．Babies Give Food to Others Even When Hungry
22、After winning the bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, China has been striving to hold a high-tech Winter Games. Now, as the games are approaching, the viewers can learn how innovative technologies are being used, especially in the construction of venues.
For example, how the National Aquatics Center, also known as the “Water Cube”, was turned into the “Ice Cube”. The main change is to turn the four-lane swimming pool into a curling rink (冰场). According to Xinhua, the “transformation” will be completed by using a quick-disassembly (快速拆除的) system. Simply put, the water will be drained (抽干) from the pool and then a convertible (可移动的) frame will be built and put inside. The frame is made up of 2,600 H-shape steel columns and has a height of three meters and a length of two meters, China News Service reported.
Another major technology applied can be seen at the National Speed Skating Oval (NSSO) , known as the “Ice Ribbon”. Traditionally, freon, which harms the ozone layer, was used in the ice-making process. But NSSO adopts an environmentally friendly technology, which uses carbon dioxide to make ice.
For another new venue, the National Sliding Center, the design team was confronted with a tricky problem. The center features a 1.9m sliding track. The center is located on the southern slope of Xiaohaituo Mountain in Yanqing. The sunlight in the southern slope is stronger than that in the northern slope. What’s more the Yanqing competition zone has complex terrain (地形) and strong wind,” Li Bo, a professor at Beijing Jiaotong University, told CGTN. “Wind resistance is the key to the construction of buildings,” Li added.
So they studied the wind filed date in the zone, analyzed the sun’s height in different seasons, and used computer models to simulate (模拟) and determine the awning (遮阳篷) coverage on the track. Finally, the team developed a system combining the terrain and awning to reduce the impact of solar radiation.
【1】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “striving” in paragraph 1______?
A．fighting bravely
B．criticizing severely
C．working hard
D．thinking highly
【2】What can learn about the frame used to transform the “Water Cube” into the “Ice Cube”.
A．It is as long as three meters.
B．It is in the shape of letter A.
C．It can be taken apart easily.
D．It can turn water into ice automatically.
【3】What is the benefit of the technology used to build the National Sliding Center?
A．It can cut carbon emissions significantly.
B．It can absorb harmful chemicals freon releases.
C．It helps athletes quickly familiarize themselves with the complex terrain.
D．It can reduce the impact of strong wind and solar radiation.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．A comparison of some Beijing Winter Olympic venues.
B．Technologies used to build the Beijing Winter Olympic venues.
C．China’s mission of holding the Beijing Winter Olympics.
D．The difficulties of venue transformation for the Beijing Winter Olympics.
23、The guzheng is a traditional Chinese musical instrument. It belongs to the zither (齐特琴) family of string instruments. It is the parent of many musical instruments of some other countries.
The guzheng should not be confused with the guqin, another ancient Chinese zither but without bridges. Now the guzheng is zither with movable bridges and usually 21 strings, although it can have from 15-25 strings. The guzheng’s strings were formerly made of silk, though most players used metal strings by the 20th century. Since the mid-20th century most performers use steel strings. The guzheng has a large resonant cavity (共振腔).
The guzheng has existed since the Warring States Period and became especially popular during the Qin dynasty. The number of strings on the guzheng has always fluctuated. There were as few as 6 to as many as 23 strings during the Tang dynasty. The earliest record of the guzheng belonged to the historian Sima Qian. Until 1961, the common guzheng had 16 strings, although by the mid-20th century 18-string guzheng were also in use. In 1961, Xu Zhenggao, together with Wang Xunzhi, introduced the first 21-string guzheng after two years of research and development. In 1960, they also invented the “S-shaped” left string rest, which was quickly adopted by all guzheng makers and is still used today. This curve allows for greater ease in tuning the strings and, combined with strings of different thickness, allows for greater resonance in both the deeper and the higher pitch (音调) ranges. The 21-string guzheng is the most commonly used one, but some traditional musicians still use the 16-string one.
【1】We can infer from Paragraph 1 that ________.
A．the guzheng is a musical instrument originating from Japan
B．there is only one kind of string instrument in China
C．there are many kinds of guzheng in the world
D．many musical instruments in other countries are related to the guzheng
【2】Which of the following material may NOT have been used to make the strings of the guzheng probably?
A．Silk
B．Steel
C．Wood
D．Copper
【3】The underlined word “fluctuated” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”.
A．jumped
B．changed
C．flowed
D．waved
【4】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．The guqing is an ancient Chinese zither with bridges.
B．The guzheng became espevially popular in the Tang Dynasty
C．All musicians don’t use the 21-string guzheng.
D．Xu Zhenggao invented the “S-shaped” left string rest himself.
24、 We all want to be successful in our work. But what happens when our achievements come at the risk of losing important friendships? If your friends didn't receive what they were hoping for, your success could make them feel like they've been “left in the dust”. But does that mean that we shouldn't enjoy our achievements in case we displease someone or that we should feel sorry for being successful when others aren't?
Those of us who value friendships and close working relationships might feel embarrassed for achieving more than our friends. But we deserve our success, and nothing should take it away. Jealousy is only natural, but It’s often unreasonable, too. Your success is probably not connected with your friends' progress, so you shouldn't feel bad about achieving your goals. If your friends stay unfriendly, don’t be afraid to keep yourself away from them. You are not responsible for their weaknesses, and nor should they treat you sharply for furthering your work.
On the other hand, your friends may think highly of your recent success while hiding their real feelings. They could be jealous, angry or sad that they are not progressing at the same rate. So, be careful not to boast. It's a thin line between pride and self-importance, and by crossing the line, you may risk losing team support.
Next time you want to boast about your end-of-year win, or high-class new office, consider your listeners. Maybe your friends narrowly missed out on a position-raising, or experienced pay cuts which meant they didn't get what they were expecting. If your work is on a rising path, it doesn't mean that's the case for everyone.
Perhaps a step forward in your work has meant that you don't spend as much time with your friends as you used to. If you've changed a post or moved to a new office, take the time to stay in touch with old friends. Chances are that in the build-up to your success you've built strong relationships along the way. Don't let that hard work go to waste by losing touch with them.

A.we should enjoy our deserving success
B.our success will certainly hurt our friends
C.friends will surely help us achieve success
D.our success is connected with our friends’ progress
【2】Which of the following best explains “boast” underlined in Paragraph 3?
A.Show up. B.Stand out.
C.Talk big. D.Keep silent.
【3】What should we do if our friends support our success?
A.Improve ourselves further.
B.Consider their feelings.
C.Help them make progress.
D.Make them proud of us.
【4】What does the text mainly talk about?
A.How to share our success with friends.
B.How to enjoy our success to the fullest.
