21、Everyone has got two personalities(性格)--the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you control yourself, but when you’re sleeping, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a lot of opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You’re shy and you don’t usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balance personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried ,but you don’t often get unhappy. You always say what you think even if it makes people angry.

22、Knots are the kind of stuff that even myths are made of.In the Greek legend of the Gordian knot, for example, Alexander the Great used his sword to slice through a knot that had failed all previous attempts to unite it. Knots, enjoy a long history of tales and fanciful names such as “Englishman’s tie, ” “and “cat’s paw. ” Knots became the subject of serious scientific investigation when in the 1860s the English physicist William Thomson (known today as Lord Kelvin) proposed that atoms were in fact knotted tubes of ether(醚). In order to be able to develop the equivalent of a periodic table of the elements, Thomson had to be able to classify knots — find out which different knots were possible. This sparked a great interest in the mathematical theory of knots.
A mathematical knot looks very much like a familiar knot in a string, only with the string’s ends joined. In Thomson’s theory, knots could, in principle at least, model atoms of increasing complexity, such as the hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen atoms, respectively. For knots to be truly useful in a mathematical theory, however, mathematicians searched for some precise way of proving that what appeared to be different knots were really different — the couldn’t be transformed one into the other by some simple manipulation(操作). Towards the end of the nineteenth century, the Scottish mathematician Peter Guthrie Tait and the University of Nebraska professor Charles Newton Little published complete tables of knots with up to ten crossings. Unfortunately, by the time that this heroic effort was completed, Kelvin’s theory had already been totally discarded as a model for atomic structure. Nevertheless, even without any other application in sight, the mathematical interest in knot theory continued atthatpoint for its own sake. In fact, mathematical became even more fascinated by knots. The only difference was that, as the British mathematician Sir Michael Atiyah has put it, “the study of knots became a special branch of pure mathematics. ”
Two major breakthroughs in knot theory occurred in 1928 and in 1984. In 1928, the American mathematician James Waddell Alexander discovered an algebraic expression that uses the arrangement of crossings to label the knot. For example, t2-t+1 or t2-3t+1, or else. Decades of work in the theory of knots finally produced the second breakthrough in 1984. The New Zealander-American mathematician Vaughan Jones noticed an unexpected relation between knots and another abstract branch of mathematics, which led to the discovery of a more sensitive invariant known as the Jones polynomial.
【1】What is surprising about knots?
A. They originated from ancient Greek legend.
B. The study of knots is a branch of mathematics.
C. Knots led to the discovery of atom structure.
D. Alexander the Great made knots well known.
【2】What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. No other application found except tables of knots.
B. The study of knots meeting a seemingly dead end.
C. Few scientist showing interest in knots.
D. The publication of complete tables of knots.
【3】According to the passage, ______ shows the most updated study about knots.
A. t2-t+1 B. t2-3t+1
C. Alexander polynomial D. Jones polynomial
【4】Which one would be the best title for this passage?
A. Mathematicians VS Physicians
B. To be or Knot to be
C. Knot or Atom
D. Knot VS Mathematics
23、For some people, the warmest memories from childhood come from being read a great story. 【1】 It develops children's language skills and increases their ability to succeed in school and, later work.
A new report by the American Academy of Pediatrics says reading aloud is so important that parents should start as soon as their children are born and continue to read aloud even after their children can read by themselves. They say parents should also point to and talk about pictures in books for infants(婴幼儿). 【2】
The company Scholastic is a major U.S. publisher of children's books. Every two years, Scholastic publishes a report on American reading attitudes and habits. The 2015report says only 31percent of children in the U.S. read a book for fun almost every day.
【3】 One is simply to have books in the home. Elizabeth Lyttleton, the mother of three, is lucky. Her mother once wrote and illustrated children's books, so the family always have plenty to read. She says all her children learn from books-but in different ways. 【4】 Researchers from the Scholastic company found that 80% of children surveyed-of all ages-say they love being read to. And children ages 6 to 11 whose parents do not read to them anymore say they miss it.
【5】 Of all the six to 17-year-olds in the Scholastic study, more than 90% said their favorite books are the ones they chose for themselves.
There are other methods that might help you with your studying.
A.The Scholastic report also suggests permitting children to choose their own books.
B.Scholastic also identifies some ways to develop a love of reading in a child.
C.A book does not have to be serious to be good for kids.
D.For young children, parents should ask questions about the book.
E.Do children still read for fun?
F.Another way to develop a reading habit in children is to read to them.
G.But reading to children does more than create warm memories.
24、 Barcelona’s famous Segrada Familia is finally set to get a building license to work on the still uncompleted church.
This UNESCO World Heritage basilica(长方形基督教堂),which is Barcelona’s most visited tourist attraction,began building in 1882 based on a design by architect Francisco Lozano. However,when he stepped down,architect Antoni Gaudi took over the design in 1883.The building won’t be finished until 2026—one hundred years after the architect was killed by a streetcar in the city. His body was buried in a room under the floor of the Sagrada Familia.
To get its paperwork rubber stamped,the church authorities have agreed to finally pay the government a 36 million fee for a building permit. Gaudi was told to get the paperwork processed,but the architect failed to do so—proceeding with construction. The money from the church’s permit will be used to upgrade transport links and beautify the area.
Gaudi played an active role in directing the construction of the Sagrada Familia until his death in 1926.He would often request that work be modified and adjusted until it was exactly what he had in mind. However, interpretation of the designs by present day architects is particularly challenging because of the nature of the existing designs.
Gaudi and his works have become symbols of Barcelona,the capital city of Catalonia,northeast Spain. The unfinished building is called a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and it is perhaps the most unique and mysterious building in the style ever constructed. The popularity of the site with tourists has helped fund the push to complete the church and pay for the paperwork.
【1】What do we know about the Segrada Familia?
A.It has been completely constructed. B.It was first designed by Antoni Gaudi.
C.It will get a building permit in 2026. D.It began to be built 138 years ago.
【2】What can we infer about Antoni Gaudi?
A.He wished to be buried in the church. B.He is remembered as a great architect.
C.He didn’t know a permit was necessary. D.He is to blame for the unfinished church.
【3】What makes the Segrada Familia so popular?
A.Its unusual design style. B.Its two famous architects.
C.Its special building materials. D.Its illegal construction paperwork.
【4】The church managed to pay for the license _________.
A.in the support of the government B.by reducing construction costs
C.with the aid of tourist income D.through donations from architects

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。
Now that Emily was 12, she could walk to school without her parents. And even better, she could go with her best friend, Heidi, who lived on the same street as her.
The only problem was that Emily had to walk the long way round, which took them a good 15 minutes longer. She just could not take the shortcut through the park.
But Heidi never complained. They had been hanging out at each other’s houses for as long as they could remember. The best times were when they had sleepovers and could sit up late talking about anything and everything and everyone.
So if anyone understood why Emily could not walk through the park, it was Heidi.
Emily was a sweet girl except that she was frightened at dogs! So she had to avoid certain places where they might be. She was always conscious of where she went and got quite good at finding ways to avoid encountering any of them. She planned ahead good and proper before she headed outdoors or to a friend’s home. She could even spot one a mile away!
But the strange thing was, she didn’t dislike dogs. In fact she was quite fond of the idea of them. She was feeling that her fear was preventing her from living life to the full. She was starting to become tired of constantly avoiding her big fear. She wanted so badly to be able to pet a dog like “normal” people did. She tried to overcome her fear, but it usually ended in tears and a feeling of disappointment.
As her best friend, Heidi couldn’t stand by. She believed that power of friendship could help Emily overcome the fear.
