21、 Thanks to technology, ride-hailing(打车) is as easy as opening an app on your phone. According to Didi, China’s top ride-hailing app, 81.3 percent of passengers preferred using an online service last year. But just like many other modern high-tech developments, convenience comes with concerns.
Didi Chuxing announced a trial re-launch of its carpool(拼车) service, Didi Hitch(滴滴顺风车), in seven cities including Harbin, Taiyuan and Beijing from Nov 20. More than a year ago, Didi suspended the service following the murders of two separate female passengers in May and August, respectively.
The re-launch comes with a range of new safety features. One of the new measures proved controversial. It carried out an 8 pm curfew(宵禁) on women, but allowed men to enjoy the service till 11 pm.
Many users complained on social media that the policy was sexist. According to CNN, the topic “#Women Can’tTakeDidiAfter8PM#” was trending on weibo, with one post calling it “negative marketing and gender- biased(性别歧视的)”. It had gained more than70,000 likes as of Nov 11.
After the strong public reaction, Didi Chuxing changed its decision. Both men and women will be able to use Didi Hitch between 5 am and 8 pm.
According to CNN, Didi Hitch had logged more than a billion total rides before its suspension, but it remains to be seen if the company can win back users’ trust.
Didi is not the only ride-sharing app to arouse public safety concerns, nor is it the only one to attempt special protections for women. The globally popular car-hailing services Uber and Lyft now require strict background checks and emergency SMS services that will automatically send a car’s description, license number, and current location to police, CBS news reported.
According to CNBC, one Boston-based ride-hailing service only hires women to drive and will only accept women or children under 13 as passengers. Despite all the safety features, riders should check their drivers’ number plates, ensure they are being taken on the correct route, and inform friends of travel plans.
【1】What are the first six paragraphs mainly about?
A.Safety tips for using Didi Hitch. B.Public safety concerns over Didi Hitch.
C.The advantages of Didi Hitch’s new services. D.The recent developments of Didi Hitch.
【2】The underlined word “suspended” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A.improved on something B.worried about something
C.stopped something for a time D.took the responsibility for something
【3】Why did Didi Chuxing change its Hitch curfews?
A.Because of its recent online risk analysis.
B.Because of the public’s negative reaction.
C.For the convenience of different users.
D.For the sake of safety problems of women.
【4】The passage is probably taken from________.
A.an advertisement B.a textbook
C.a newspaper D.a public speech
22、Mirrors always tell the truth. When the evil Queen asked her mirror, “Who’s the fairest of them all?” she did not like the answer:“Snow White is the fairest of them all.” In the fairy tale, the Queen tried to kill Snow White to keep herself the fairest. In modern times, she would have just chosen some plastic surgery.
China’s plastic surgery industry has been developing rapidly in the past ten years as more people look in the mirror and try to change the “truth” of their reflection (影像). A recent study shows that nearly 60% of the Chinese college students surveyed were anxious about their appearance, and that about a quarter of them would consider receiving plastic surgery to look more physically attractive.
The reasons for which these young people are concerned with their looks have partly to do with necessity and partly to do with vanity (虚荣心). Studies have shown that, in today’s competitive job market, “physically attractive” people are more likely to be offered an interview and to land a job than those who have the same abilities but look ordinary. Psychologists call this the “halo effect” a type of cognitive bias (认知偏差) in which our good impression of a person in one area naturally leads to positive thoughts about this person in other areas.
There is also the effect that social media has on how people judge their appearance and understand real beauty. In the virtual (虚拟的) world, “ideal” faces have big eyes, thin high noses and pointed chins. This easily misleads young people into believing that they are not pretty enough, or are even ugly, and that they should turn to “outside help” for complete makeover. However, plastic surgery is just a fashion trend, with different features going in and out of style.
As the old saying goes, inner beauty is more important than outer beauty. As long as you are a good person, that goodness will shine through. The evil Queen was beautiful on the outside, but inside, she was very ugly. The mirror did not lie.
【1】What does the underlined “truth” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．They don’t look attractive.
B．Their looks have changed.
C．They have only inner beauty.
D．They are fooled by the media.
【2】Which of the following is an example of the “halo effect”?
A．The Queen felt angry because she was not the fairest of all.
B．Mary is not confident because she hasn’t an “ideal” face.
C．Jack is considering a plastic surgery because his friends have done so.
D．Amy looks pretty, so she is often thought to be kind and well-rounded.
【3】What effect might social media have on people’s judgement about looks?
A．They need to improve their looks.
B．Beauty only lies in the virtual world.
C．Real beauty comes from confidence.
D．Plastic surgery is just a fashion trend.
【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．The best mirror is an old friend.
B．All that glitters is not gold.
C．Fine feather makes fine birds.
D．Never judge a book by its cover.
23、Train your brain to be smarter
You go to a gym to train your muscles. You run or hike to build your endurance (耐力). 【1】 Training it could not only speed up your memory recall, but also help you learn faster. If you want your brain to be smarter, try some of these basic methods below.
【2】 We are social creatures, and the people we surround ourselves with can have a huge impact on the way we think, and on our opinions and behaviors. By associating yourself with intelligent people, you could indirectly develop your own thinking sills and attitudes to life, success and personal development. So, as cold as it might sound, you might want to think again about the fiends you spend most of your time with.
Get enough sleep. Sleep is a very important factor when keeping your mind and body in tip-top shape. Any lack of rest or relaxation, and excessive stress can seriously reduce the efficiency of your brain function. The human brain requires a large amount of energy to function. 【3】 Some studies also show that a persistent lack of seep can reduce your IQ. So, make sure you get enough shut-eye!
Form a habit of reading. Reading exposes you to new ideas and can influence and improve your mind. Reading also improves your general knowledge, making you more capable of holding interesting conversations and relating different concepts. It is said that highly successful people read, on average, one book a week. 【4】
Keep a diary. Constantly taking notes or writing down things or ideas effectively creates an extension (延伸) of your mind. Thoughts are changeable things at times and unless written down, they can be lost for good. 【5】 One of those random thoughts could be your path to freedom and fortune.
A．Associate with proper people.

24、 I think that a great friend is a great artist who can change my feeling about life greatly. When I talk about the person who influenced me most, I must think of my best friend quickly.
When I was in my university, one of my classmates sat beside me. His name is Wang Tao. He is my unforgettable friend in my life. He is good at study and handsome. Everyone knows that he is a genius of our university.
He is kindhearted and is always ready to help others. But he doesn't like others to praise him, because he thinks what he did is common. There is an old saying: A friend in need is a friend indeed. Wang Tao sets a good example in many parts of my life.
I remembered that my math was mediocre at that time, but he was excellent in solving math questions. He often received high scores. Of course, I wished I could reach his level. When we talked all day long, he was always patient and polite to answer my math questions. Slowly, I made great progress in math. I passed the examination finally. Then we became friends naturally. And now, I still remember his strong will to study.
We know that we live in the society, so we all need a lot of friends. There are two kinds of friends, good ones and bad ones; bad friends may make our life failed, while good ones make our life successful. To me, Wang Tao is a very good friend.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Soapy is a twenty-four-pound rabbit. People look surprised when they first touch him and remark how soft he is. I've noticed he seems to make everyone who meets him a little softer, too. So when I started to work as a volunteer in the community, I decided to take him with me as a therapy（疗法）animal.
One day, Soapy and I visited a shelter for women who had suffered from violence. The women in the shelter all looked at me in low spirits. No one smiled a greeting. One little girl in particular caught my attention. Never raising her eyes, never reaching out, she wandered in and out of the gathered group. The staff informed me that the little girl, named Alice, had been there for over a month and had not spoken the entire time. Nothing they tried had any effect. I didn't want to imagine what would have happened to rob this little girl of the curiosity and enthusiasm so natural to childhood.
Spreading a blanket on the floor, I sat down and opened Soapy's carrier. As the women circled around me, I told the group that Soapy would come to them if they sat on the blanket. Several women did this, including Alice. In a short time, Soapy emerged from his carrier and slowly jumped from one woman to another. After touching Soapy, these women looked down. and smiled softly. Soapy continued his rounds, and the women gradually began to talk about Soapy and I chatted with them as I kept one eye on Alice. She sat rigidly at the edge of the blanket legs held out straight in front of her. She was staring hard at Soapy. It appeared that Soapy kept making eye contact with her, too. He would jump from person to person, each visit taking him closer to her. I began to wonder if he was stopping to give her time to watch him. I looked at her. again. She sat there nervously, just staring.
Paragraph 1:
Finally Soapy came to a stop when he was about two inches from Alice's legs.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Days later, I revisited the shelter with Soapy: surprised to find Alice even happier than before.
