21、Who needs friends? According to most psychologists（心理学家） we all do, especially nowadays when so many other aspects (方面 ) of modern life are changing. It seems that having friends keeps us both healthy and happy.
The number of TV series about groups of friends shows just how important friendship is to us. Psychologist Dorothy Rowe says that many of us now turn to our friends, instead of our families, for advice, comfort and security. One woman named Rebecca she interviewed even told her that if she had got to choose between her husband and her friend, she would choose her friend.
Since our friends mean so much to us, it is not surprising that the happiest marriages are also friendships. "Once the romantic stage of a relationship has passed, it is friendship that holds people together," says Rowe. If the couple do not make some changes, they will either get tired of each other and break up or stay together and seek friendship with others.
But is friendship equally important to women and men? According to author Rhonda Pritchard, women are more likely than men to have close friends. "You tell a friend things that you'd never tell a partner," says one woman she interviewed. For men, friendship is usually based on doing things together rather than the private conversations that are typical of women friends. Men share time and activities like building a fence or a business, running, riding a bike, fishing or watching football, but they don't often share their feelings.
Although many women find their relationships with a husband or boyfriend is not enough, many men say that their partner is their best friend. Even women who are very happily married are likely to become very unhappy without a close friend and can even find the breakup of a close friendship as painful as the end of a marriage.
Lasting friendships can provide a lot of the same support that families provided in the past, but the perfect situation is to have your family there for you as well. Friendships and family relationships can both change, but a friend will not consider you when making really important decisions in the same way that a family member will.
【1】What did Rebecca think about friendship?
A．All of us need friendship.
B．Friends are as important as families.
C．Her friend means more to her than her husband.
D．One need not have too many friends.
【2】Why do married men or women look for friendship?
A．They are encouraged by their partners
B．They do not get what they need from their partners.
C．They are not fairly treated by their partners
D．They think their friends are more romantic.
【3】What is the main difference between men’s and women’s friendship?
A．Women often do things together with friends.
B．Men often talk to their friends about work and family.
C．Women often talk about business with friends.
D．Men seldom talk to their friends about their feelings.
【4】What might women do when a close friendship ends?
A．They feel as upset as when a marriage ends.
B．They share feelings with their partners.
C．They treat their partners as friends.
D．They turn to their husbands for comfort.
22、 You may already know that more than a million years ago, glaciers, or vast blankets of moving ice, covered one third of the earth. You also may know tens of thousands of years ago, the glaciers started to melt, retreating to their current position in the Antarctic and Greenland. You may even know that glaciers also exist in all the world's great mountain regions. But do you know that glaciers cover about 6 billion square miles of the earth and store about 75 percent of the earth's fresh water.
A glacier forms in a cold climate when a winters snow does not completely melt during the following summer. Snow continues to accumulate and partially melt year after year. As the accumulated snow becomes heavier, the lower layers crushes under the weight and changes into ice. Over time, the mass of ice thickens and moves. The ice is either pulled slowly downhill by gravity - as in the valley glaciers found in the Alps, on the Alaskan coast, and in the Western United States - or forced outward in all directions by its own weight - as in the ice sheets and icecaps covering most of Greenland and Antarctic a. During the glaciations (冰川作用),a glacier moves ( usually about 3 feet per day). It picks up pieces of rock that cut and polish the land and carve out steep-side valleys . During deglaciation (冰消作用),a glacier withdraws and often leaves large deposits of sand and stones. The process of glaciation and deglaciation formed the Great Lakes in North American during the Ice Ages.
Some scientists believe that ice ages similar to those of the past will occur, but they disagree on when this will happen. Other scientists think that global wanning will occur instead, melting the glaciers and flooding areas as sea levels rise. No one knows for certain which event will occur, but neither predicts well for mankind.
【1】What happens to a glacier during glaciation?
A.It moves. B.It leaves stones.
C.It leaves sand. D.It forms the Great Lakes.
【2】What will happen if global warming occurs instead of another ice age?
A.Vast blankets of ice will cover the earth.
B.Glaciers in the Antarctic will increase in size.
C.Plant and animal life in many related areas will be destroyed.
D.A winter's snow may not completely melt during the following summer.
【3】What is the attitude of the writer towards the argument between scientists in the last paragraph?
A.Optimistic. B.Objective. C.Pessimistic. D.Indifferent.
【4】What is this passage mainly about? ,
A.The Ice Age. B.Valley glaciers.
C.Ice sheets and ice caps. D.Glaciers.
23、Elephants are endangered animals because of efforts to hunt them for their ivory tusks(象牙).Selling ivory has been illegal for more than 30 years worldwide. So, 17-year-old Anika Puri was astonished to see a market filled with rows of ivory jewelry and statues on her visit to India 4 years ago.
Curious, Anika did some research and discovered a shocking statistic: Africa’s forest elephant populations declined by about 62 percent between 2002 and 2011. Years later, the numbers continue to drop. As a wildlife lover, Anika wanted to do something to help protect the animals still threatened by illegal hunting.
“Drones(无人机)are currently used to detect and capture images of hunters, but they are not that accurate,” Anika explained. However, after watching videos of elephants and humans, she saw how the two differed in their movements andspeed. She realized she could use it to “increase the detection accuracy of potential illegal hunters”.
Over the next two years, Anika worked on inventing a software, which can classify a figure as either an elephant or a human based on the speed, group size,how it turns and other patterns in videos.
The software is four times more accurate than existing detection methods and is much cheaper. It uses a $ 250 camera that plugs into a smart phone, which is then attached to a drone.The camera records thermal infrared(红外线的)videos using heat, not visible light. This allows the device to produce real-time inferences as it flies over parks as to whether objects below are humans or elephants, no matter in daylight or at night.
“Research isn’t a straight line or a smooth sailing,” Anika said. “It has made me more resourceful. It also helped me develop into a more innovative thinker. I have learned a lot along the way.”
【1】Why was Anika surprised?
A．Elephant populations were small.
B．Elephants were losing their habitats.
C．Elephant tusks were illegally traded.
D．Elephants were an endangered species.
【2】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The speed.
B．The difference.
C．The work.
D．The software.
【3】What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A．The low cost of the camera.
B．The flight pattern of the drone.
C．The components of the device.
D．The advantages of the software.
【4】Which word best describes Anika according to the last paragraph?
A．Optimistic.
B．Tolerant.
C．Talented.
D．Curious.
