21、For introverts interacting with other individuals can be challenging. They need to go to a quiet place to gather their thoughts and recharge. 【1】 On the other hand, extroverts are highly friendly and social. By their very nature, extroverts are well-loved, but that doesn’t mean introverts aren’t just as likable. Here are some reasons why you need introvert friends.
Introverts listen. In group discussions, if extroverts love to talk, introverts like to listen. This means introverts often hear more of what’s occurring around them. They catch all the things others miss.【2】
Introverts are highly creative. There’s evidence that an independent, quiet thought gives birth to more creativity compared to a big brainstorming group. Introverts spend tons of time in their heads.【3】And their minds are constantly imagining, remembering and analyzing, which leads to insights and creativity that can translate to inventive solutions and ideas.
Introverts are persistent and focused.【4】An introverted friend can help you. They don’t give up easily, and love working independently. They are willing to invest the energy and time required. They are less distracted by new possibilities and opportunities.
【5】They don’t use words lightly. Introverts are intentional and thoughtful. Thus when they do speak up in group settings, it’s usually worth your time to listen. This is a refreshing and valuable quality.
Introverts make good friends. An introvert’s ability to listen, natural persistence, and desire for deep relationships can produce devoted friendships. They make trusted, safe friends.
A．Introverts value friends’ promises.
B．They are known for being deep thinkers.
C．Got a problem that needs immediate solving?
D．When introverts say something, they mean it.
E．Introversion is also often confused with shyness.
F．This is because introverted people get their energy from being alone.
G．If you’re in search of friends who will truly hear you, choose introverts.
22、What makes people so special? Tool use, self-consciousness, language, and culture are high on the list, but in fact all of these characteristics can be found elsewhere in the animal kingdom. Humans and apes are close relatives, so it is perhaps not surprising that chimpanzees use tools or that gorillas (大猩猩) have a sense of fair play, even rejecting carrots (which they normally accept) when they see their neighbors getting grapes. But the qualities that we often think of as uniquely human exist not just on land, but in the ocean as well.
Among the invertebrates, octopuses (八爪鱼) are known for their intelligence, even exhibiting evidence of playfulness, tool use, and personality. But these skilled predators live alone and consequently lack culture. Dolphins, on the other hand, are large-brained, long-living, social- group-based predators, and it is here that we find the greatest similarity to human-like culture and awareness.
Culture depends on the ability of animals to pass on things they have learned to others. Many animals have culture in this sense, but what sets dolphins apart is what they pass on. Some bottlenose dolphins hold sponges in their mouths that they use as tools to sweep for fish hiding on the ocean floor. This ability is handed down through generations (especially in females), with some families- grandmother, mother, and daughter - all feeding in this highly specialized way.
Another characteristic that dolphins share with humans is their ability to recognize themselves in a mirror. When facing a mirror, most animals behave as though they are interacting with another individual. Even in humans, the ability to recognize that the image in a mirror is oneself does not occur before the age of 18 months. Dolphins not only recognize themselves, but if a black mark is put on the body of a dolphin, it will spend extra time at the mirror to look at the mark.
【1】The example of gorillas rejecting carrots shows they ________.
A．are not easy to fool
B．prefer fruit to vegetables
C．have a special taste for food
D．have an awareness of equality
【2】What do octopuses lack compared with dolphins?
A．Social interaction.
B．Intelligence.
C．Tool using ability.
D．Fun-loving spirits.
【3】What makes dolphin culture special?
A．They tend to hunt in groups.
B．Their hunting skills are passed down.
C．Their learning environment is favourable.
D．Their families are typically female-controlled.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Dolphins enjoy looking at their own reflection in the mirror.
B．Dolphins are as intelligent as a typical 18-month-old human baby.
C．Dolphins are generally regarded as the most advanced non-human species.
D．Dolphins’ ability to recognize their own reflection is a higher-order mental skill.
23、Betty is not traditional American beauty. She is unfashionable, has thick red glasses, untidy hair and large metal braces (牙套) on her teeth. But this hasn’t stopped her from becoming one of American’s favorite TV characters. So how did she manage to do it?

24、Eugene Newman Parker, a leading figure in heliospheric(日球层的) physics for the past half century, passed away peacefully at his home in Chicago on Mar. 15. He was 94.
Hailed(誉为) as a visionary in the field of heliophysics, Parker revolutionized our understanding of the sun and its effects on Earth and other bodies within the solar system. NASA even stated that “the field of heliophysics exists in large part because of Dr. Eugene Parker. In 2018, Parker became the first living scientist to witness the launch of a spacecraft that was named in his honor.
Parker is best known for his groundbreaking theory on the existence of a phenomenon called “solar wind”, a continuous stream of charged particles that flow off the sun. It can become violent, causing space weather that impacts the Earth. When Parker’s research was published in 1958, his theory was initially met with skepticism(怀疑) and ridicule by the scientific community. The general view at the time was that the space between planets was an absolute vacuum(真空), and was thus completely empty of any matter. But, there were no errors in his study or his calculations, and the theory was later proven to be correct in 1962, when a NASA spacecraft mission to Venus revealed the constant presence of a supersonic wind—exactly as Parker had predicted.
That experience likely led to the advice Parker often gave young researchers: “If you do something new or innovative, expect trouble. But think critically about it because if you’re wrong, you want to be the first one to know that.” Parker never co-authored a paper with his students, thus urging them to be independent.
Parker was humble, straightforward, and wise. His son Eric said, “My sister Joyce and I didn’t get a real feel for what a ‘big dog’ our dad was in the field.” They got an even better sense when a month after Parker’s death, they traveled to Lund, Sweden, to accept on his behalf the Crafoord Prize in Astronomy.
【1】What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A．A spacecraft was named in memory of Parker.
B．The sun has less effects on Earth than expected.
C．Parker deserved credit for his great contributions.
D．NASA provided new insights into the lunar effect.
【2】Why did people view Parker’s theory of “solar wind” skeptically at first?
A．It went against the popular opinion at that time.
B．Some mistakes were found in his calculations.
C．The presence of a supersonic wind was proven by NASA.
D．Matter was believed to exist in the space between planets.
【3】What did Parker suggest young researchers do?
A．seek close cooperation
B．avoid high expectations
C．learn by trial and error
D．compete against others
【4】What words can be used to describe Parker according to the passage?
A．straightforward and generous
B．responsible and accessible
C．intelligent yet conservative
D．distinguished yet modest
25、 The small town of Allen Crossing, Indiana, has been the place I’ve called home for all 16 years of my life. That’s where I spend hours just ______. Looking at how the wind blows the wild flowers to create a magical ______ of color. Looking at the way insects move hurriedly among plants.

Then I went to New York and something happened that really made me ______ that idea.
I was offered two-week courses at an art college there. When I took the train to the college for the first time, I had some serious ______ about whether I had made the right choice about coming. I was so used to the ______ countryside. New York, however, was noisy and ______. People pushed past me to squeeze through the doors of the subway cars. Everything moved at such a ______ pace that I felt I had no time to process it all.
Art classes were another story. ______ I started making art, I felt like myself again. Working from memory, I made a series of drawings of natural scenes. “Your images are very ______ and accurate,” one teacher told me. “Why not try using brighter colors and bolder shapes and motions?” I followed her advice and was amazed at the ______.
One day my cousin Ken came to see my drawings. “Gosh! These are great! They remind me of graffiti (涂鸦).” He exclaimed.
I looked at my drawings and was ______.To me graffiti was not art, it was ____ messy, unreadable writing on walls.
“Cool,” Ken continued. “If you’re into art, you should come with me.” I followed him to a huge factory that was completely ______ with graffiti. The walls were covered with bright colors, portraits, words and calligraphy-like symbols. What I saw was art not unlike what I had been making. The big ______ was that the artists drew images from city life, such as crowded subway trains and tall, shiny buildings. In every sketch, there was a(n) ______ that reminded me of that first subway ride, only it was a creative one.
Now I know that ______ is different for everyone. What drives one person crazy can be the thing that drives another person to ______. I may not look at the city the way street artists do, but they may not see nature the way I do. I ______ the way the city’s energy inspires them.
