22、短文匹配 阅读下面短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项仅使用一次。

What is a smile? Some people think it is the expression of the heart. I think it is a kind of language. It shows kindness and friendliness. It also shows that a person is happy. For example, a student may smile when he or she makes great progress in studies. Or a person may smile if a friend tells a funny joke. 【1】.

First, smiles are nice. People always try to look nice by exercising or wearing nice clothes. 【2】. That is because it is easy to be around someone who is smiling and happy. Almost no one wants to stay with someone who is always unhappy.

【3】. Both smiling and laughing can easily and quickly spread from one person to another. If one person smiles, people around him or her want to smile, too. Similarly, when a person laughs, others will laugh with him or her. If a person is sad, the best thing to do is to share a smile or a laugh. It is the easiest way to cheer someone up.

Finally, it is easier to smile than to show unhappiness. In fact, when you smile, it only takes 17 muscles(肌肉). But when you are sad, it takes 43 muscles to show unhappiness. Also, smiling is very good for the body. 【4】. You’ll find that it will be difficult to stay sad for very long!

A．However, people often say a smile is the best thing a person can wear

B．Second, smiles have power

C．Of course, there are some other good reasons to smile

D．Even though you are sad, try smiling

24、On Christmas Eve, children all over Britain put a stocking (长筒袜) at the end of their beds before they go to sleep. Their parents usually tell them that Father Christmas will come during the night. Father Christmas is very kind and friendly. He gets to the top of each house and climbs down the chimney into the house. He fills each of the stockings with Christmas presents. Of course, Father Christmas isn’t real. In Jim and Kate’s house, “Father Christmas” is really Mr. Green. Mr. Green doesn’t climb down the chimney. He waits until the children are asleep. Then he quietly goes into their bedrooms and fills their stockings with small presents. When they were very young, Mr. Green sometimes wore a red coat. But he doesn’t do that now.

26、 A team of US psychologists(心理学家) have found that talking to another person for ten minutes a day helps with memory.

“Socializing(交际) is just as effective as more traditional kinds of mental exercise in boosting memory and intellectual(智力的) performance,” Oscar Ybarra, a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, said in a statement.

In one investigation, they analyzed data on 3610 people, aged 24 to 96.

They found that the higher their level of social interaction(交流), the better their cognitive(认知的) functioning. Social interaction includes getting together or having phone chats with relatives, friends and neighbors.

In another experiment, the researchers conducted laboratory tests on 76 college students, aged 18 to 21, to evaluate(评估) how social interactions and intellectual exercises affected the results of memory and mental performance tests.

The students were divided into three groups: the social interaction group had a discussion of a social issue for 10 minutes before taking the tests; the intellectual activities group completed three tasks (including a reading comprehension exercise and a crossword puzzle) before the tests; and a control group(对照组) watched a 10-minute clip(电影片段) of the Seinfeld television show.

“We found that short-term social interaction lasting for just 10 minutes improved participants’ (参与者) intellectual performance as much as engaging in (从事) so-called ‘intellectual’ activities for the same amount of time,” Ybarra said.

The study was expected to be published in the February issue of the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.

【2】 Which is not included in social interaction?

B. Attending a birthday party.

C. Watching TV at home alone.

D. Calling your classmates.

A. To judge the effect of social interaction on memory and intelligence.

B. To find out what is real social interaction.

C. To learn how much time is needed for social interaction.

D. To show the function of people's cognition.

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Intellectual exercises make your memory better.

B. Different people have different ways of communication.

C. Communicating with others keeps you healthy.

D. Social interaction makes you smart.

27、①In China, each year we produce about 150 million tons of city waste according to a report. Where does the waste go? People usually burn or bury (埋) it. On the other hand, we receive waste from some developed countries. We get useful materials from it. What about the useless part? Still burned or buried. But is it a proper way?

②Waste pollutes the environment, harms people’s health and causes animals to die. It also gets in the way of green and sustainable development. We can’t make money at the cost of the environment. We should leave clean water and green mountains to our next generation (一代人).

③China is getting really serious about waste now.

④We are taking less waste from developed countries. From January 2018, China started to stop 24 kinds of waste coming into our country. And more laws and rules about dealing with waste have been made. Anyone who breaks the law will be punished.

⑤China also tries to put waste into good use. One example is the waste electricity factories. They burn waste to make electricity in a green way. No harmful gases or water will get into the environment.

⑥The Chinese government is encouraging people to do waste sorting (分类). Cities like Shanghai, Chongqing and Beijing have their own sorting systems. More will join them soon. As President Xi Jinping said during a visit to Shanghai, waste sorting is a new fashion (时尚). More and more people are forming the habit of separating their waste.
