24、 Have you ever heard someone say, “You completely look like you’re a Jessica” or someone similar? People seem to think that they know what kind of person a “Jessica” or a “Michael” looks like. Why is this?
According to a research in the Journey of personality (个性) and Social Psychology, humans like to connect people’s names with their looks (长相), and can even guess someone’s name according to how they look. Researchers at the Herbrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They put a name under each photo. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct. The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38 percent of the time. It seems that the faces really give them clues (线索) about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported. However, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who used nicknames (昵称) more often than their real names. This may show that a person’s looks are influenced by their name only if they use it often.
This kind of face-name matching happens because we often become what other people expect us to become,” Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website Eurek Alert.
The researchers believe there are also stereotype (刻板印象) about names. For example, the volunteers usually think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. They may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be just like the flowers that they are named for.
【1】The purpose of the research is to find out________.
A.how people’s looks influence their names B.if people’s names are related to their looks
C.what the most popular English names are D.if men’s names are different from women’s
【2】The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refers to (指代) ________.
A.the women B.the volunteers C.the researchers D.the flowers
【3】The volunteers in the research most probably match Picture with the name “Rose”.
A. B.
C.
D.
【4】According to the text, some people look like their names because they________.
A.like to connect their names with their own looks
B.use nicknames more often than their real names
C.have become what others expect them to become
D.look forward to being seen as special persons.
【5】Which of the following would most probably have this text?
A.Business Week B.New York Daily News
C.Discovery D.Science Progress
25、 Most students have experienced those school nights when they try to stay awake while doing homework. However,is homework the only reason why students stay up too late? For many, the answer may be factors(因素)such as electronics and technology,yet for others,the reply focuses on the balance between schoolwork and extracurricular(课外的)activities.
Most students grow up developing some type of hobby. Whether it is playing baseball on the weekends,or joining a chess club after school,taking part in extracurricular activities is a large part of students' daily routines.However,as schoolwork and pressure increase in high school,many studentsargue that extracurricular activities must fall by the wayside because they are not needed,or not so important.“High school is a time when you're supposed to explore what you love,”Samantha Luk,a high school student,said. When it comes to setting a timetable,however,Luk said she was often under pressure to give more importance to study. This thought of giving up personal interests for study is common among many students. They find it challenging to prove whether developing the interests is advantageous.
As a cross-country runner,journalism fan and violin lover,I disagree with those who decrease the importance of after-school activities. There are many reasons why involvement in after-school activities is beneficial. The most important point is that sports,clubs and regular meetings give students time to enjoy each other's company(陪伴)and start up friendships. These activities also allow teenagers to follow their interests and to reduce stress. So in spite of (尽管)heavy schoolwork, students should keep on following their hobbies although it is very hard.
Some students,on the other hand,choose the opposite way. They spend too much time on their hobbies that they are passionate(狂热的)about.Sometimes this passion helps students get recognition or prizes for their surprising talents, but generally speaking,it just makes one student different from the other.
Schoolwork and interests are of different values,so one should never have to choose between study and extracurricular activities,unless he or she wants to. Each student should try to balance them,and your balance may differ from others’.Achieving this kind of balance is to find out what is important for you. It completely depends on your personal preference.
【1】From what Samantha Luk said,we know that
A.she was good at setting a timetable
B.she often stayed up studying at night
C.she spent a lot of time on her hobbies
D.she put her study before her interests
【2】The writer probably agrees that
A.surprising talents can help students succeed
B.after-school activities are necessary and important
C.students should choose either study or their interests
D.students need to develop hobbies different from others’
【3】What might be the best title for the passage?
A.Managing Your Time Wisely
B.Living a Relaxing School Life
C.Developing Different Interests
D.Discovering Your Own Balance
26、阅读下面四篇材料,然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
With rising food prices, growing population and environmental problems, many people are worrying about how we will feed ourselves in the future. Don’t worry. Scientists are trying to find some answers.
Some scientists believe insects will become a staple of our diet. Insects provide as many nutrients as ordinary meat and a great source of protein(蛋白质) , they also cost less to raise than cows and use less water. About 1,400 species are suitable as food for humans. Many people have already eaten insects as a part of their diet. Locusts are popular in Africa, wasps are a dish in Japan, and crickets are eaten in Thailand. The Dutch government is preparing for insect farms and has invested one million euros into research.
In the future, land and fresh water will be in short supply. It is possible that people need to find a reliable food source in the ocean. Scientists have already found one at the bottom of the food chain---seaweed. It has long been a staple in Asia, and countries including Japan have huge seaweed farms. Such farms can easily work in other countries and be very successful. The great thing about seaweed is that it grows at an amazing rate. It’s the fastest growing plant on earth.
Scientists are also working in the lab to solve the problem of food shortage. A few years ago, European scientists successfully produced lab meat, also known as cultured meat. They grew muscle tissue using stem cells(干细胞)taken from cows. The experiment was funded by NASA to see if lab meat was a food astronauts could eat in space.
In 20 years’ time , lab meat is likely to become a popular dish of our diet. According to research, growing meat in a lab rather than slaughtering(屠宰) animals can greatly reduce greenhouse gases, along with energy and water use. People can also reduce fat from the meat and add nutrients.
【1】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a potential problem humans face in the future?
A. Rising food prices.
B. Growing population.
C. Fewer skillful farmers.
D. Less fresh water available
【2】How many kinds of future food are introduced in the passage?
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five
【3】Which of the following are the features of insects?
①They are great sources of protein.
②They are at the bottom of the food chain.
③People can spend less money in raising insects.
④They provide as many nutrients as ordinary meat.
A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④
【4】Why did NASA fund the experiment of creating lab meat?
A. Because they wanted to make extra money.
B. Because astronauts didn’t like the taste of beef and pork.
C. Because they wanted to solve the problem of food shortage.
D. Because they wanted to see if lab meat was a suitable food for astronauts.
27、 Radboud University in Dutch dug a hole in the ground, which is called “purification grave (净化坟墓)”.
It is an invitation to think about what is really important in life. First dug in 2009, the grave was part of a two—year project. However, it made a comeback this year. Signing up (报名) to lie in the several—foot—deep hole for 30 minutes to three hours, every student at the university as well as those at the neighboring university may have a try. To make them pay full attention to things around and themselves, they mustn’t take phones or books with them in the grave. “We dug another grave in the garden,” said Radboud University. “You can decide for yourself how long you want to do this. Telephones and books in the grave are prohibited. It is a place for meditation (冥想). Under you the earth;above you the sky. See what goes through your mind. If you don’t want to lie in the grave, you can also sit near it.”
39 people took part in the 2009 project, but ever since the grave was dug in June, 2019, tens of people have already tried it. Every week, a few people use the grave.
“ Whether getting complete rest or learning something from the experience, you’ll find it really works,” student Feona Kane said.
【1】If students from the neighboring university want to have a try in the grave, they should first________.
A.visit the garden directly B.sign up to get a chance

Attending a university is an important part of a person's life. Today , many people go to a university to study and train for a future job in subjects like law , medicine , or education. But , the university isn't a modern invention. An important o【1】started in Egypt a thousand years ago.
The world's oldest surviving university , Al﹣Azhar , is in Cario , Egypt. It was first built as a mosque (清真寺) in A. D.972to【2】the daughter of the king Muhammad.

In a course , students read and studied with the teacher , but there were hot and free d【5】among them , too. Often , there was no" correct" answer to a question. In the years that followed , the new university attracted scholars from around the world who came to teach and do research. At Al﹣Azhar , people not only studied the past , but it was a place for s【6】new ideas with each others as well
Over a thousand years later, Al﹣Azhar is still an important university in the world.Its library contains more than 250,000of the world's oldest and most valuable books.Today, many of the world's most i【7】universities such as Oxford and Harvard still follow the traditions started at Al﹣Azhar.
