21、Below is a housing guide for students going to London.
University accommodation (住所)offices
Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords (房东). Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organizations. The advantage of using your university accommodation office is that you can get some support if you have 'a problem. The disadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to house all their students.
Property papers: Loot and Renting
Loot is an important source (来源) of information about private housing for co-renters. The offers are from private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other co-renters. They also have a website: www. loot. com. The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains. The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.
Renting is another useful paper. The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies. Their website is at www. Renting.co. uk.
Accommodation agencies
The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number of accommodations. A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation. The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.
Noticeboards
Around the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted. These will either be from landlords or from students. Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students. Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation. However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic.
Word of mouth
Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth. It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students. However, don't suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily, going to be better than that found through any other source.
Family
Faced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice.
【1】What is the advantage of using Loot?
A.It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting.

【4】For students going to London for the first time, which of the following provides the most reliable information?
A.University accommodation offices.
B.Loot and Renting.

D.Family.
22、Self-driving cars are so popular that the University of Michigan has even established a town called Mcity to allow car manufacturers to safely test their autonomous cars.
While Mcity can be used to simulate(模拟) many real-life road conditions, it cannot help test gestures drivers use to communicate their intention to other drivers, pedestrians or cyclists. To find a solution, US car manufacturer Ford, with researchers from Virginia Tech, initially considered using text as a way to communicate the car's intention, but decided it would probably not work universally. The option of using symbols was also discarded, because research shows that a majority of people do not have a good understanding of what they mean.
Finally, the researchers settled on light signals. A white light warned that there were no humans in the car. A slow blinking one indicated that the car was coming to a stop, while a rapidly flashing light cautioned passersby that the car was about to accelerate.
Then came the big challenge-testing the signals on real roads. “We needed to try out this new lighting to communicate the intention of the vehicle, but if you’ve got a driver behind the seat, you still have natural communication between humans,” said Andy Shaudt, who led the Virginia Tech research team. “So we needed to make it look like a driverless ear.”
The team designed a car seat costume(戏装) that the driver would wear to cover his/her face and upper body. Of course, the drivers could see very clearly. The researchers then equipped the car with cameras to capture human reactions to a light bar on the windshield(挡风玻璃), which flashed one of the three signals when appropriate. Six drivers, all keeping their hands low on the wheel so as not to be detected, took turns to test driving the car through the busy streets.
The overall reaction to the flashing lights was very encouraging. Who knew costumes could be useful for more than Halloween?
【1】What did the team first consider using as a way to communicate the car's intention?
A. Light B. Language
C. Symbols D. Sound
【2】The underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refers to .
A. svmbo1s B. drivers
C. researchers D. flashes
【3】What does a rapidly flashing light mean?
A. The car was coming to a stop B. There was no driver in the car
C. The car was about to speed up D. The car was about to slow down
【4】The car seat costume was intended to .
A. amuse the driver B. attract the pedestrians
C. warn the cyclists D. confuse the people
23、People with fewer friends are more likely to attract new friends than people who already have a wide social circle—but they think the opposite is true, a January study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found.
The study demonstrated what the authors call “the friend number paradox (悖论),’’ or the concept that we think we’ll magnetize more friends if we’re more popular, but at the same time are more interested in befriending others if we know their circle is small.
The study author Xianchi Dai and colleagues conducted three studies that presented participants with scenes to assess the difference between what they predicted others would want in somebody as a friend, and what they wanted in a friend. The researchers found people want high-quality relationships—harder to get from someone with lots of friends— but forget that when guessing what others want in them. They also found they could help correct this difference by reminding participants that, in fact, social butterflies may have less to give.
The researchers say people’s natural self-centered viewpoint contributes to the friend number paradox. ‘‘ That is, we’re more likely to put our (in this case, false) predictions about ourselves onto others than to put ourselves in other people’s shoes and apply those insights to us. We also tend to see the positive aspects of having more friends, like signaling a good personality or possessing “ precious resources that others seek，” in ourselves. We see the negatives,like not having enough time or energy to sustain a friendship, in others, Dai said. Ifs possible that other factors explain this difference, the researchers say. Maybe we prefer less popular people because we’re worried about rejection from queen bees. We might also think choosing someone whose circle is smaller than ours boosts our social influence.
No matter the potential causes, Dai said the findings suggest people shouldn’t “show off” a large friend number when seeking new connections.
【1】What does the underlined word “magnetize” mean in paragraph 2?
A．Ignore.
B．Attract.
C．Lose.
D．Expect.
【2】What’s the finding of the three studies?
A．High-quality friendships are hard to get.
B．Social butterflies appeal to more friends.
C．Most people care about the needs of others.
D．People can’t give what they expect from others.
【3】What leads to the phenomenon of “the friend number paradox” among people?
A．Selfish personality.
B．Concern about being rejected.
C．Ambition for social influence.
D．Preference for larger friend circles.
【4】What is a common misunderstanding of making new friends?
A．A wider social circle helps.
B．A smaller social circle helps.
C．The more friends you have, the better.
D．The fewer friends you have, the better.
24、Gardens come in all shapes and sizes. 【1】 But with a little planning and a few tips, you’ll be growing in no time.
One of the most important things to remember when planning a garden is to grow what you love. This way, you’ll be sure to enjoy the process. You can grow vegetables. If you don’t like vegetables, try fruits or flowers. You can grow a garden to feed yourself, your neighbors, and a family that’s going through a hard time. 【2】 Find your interest.
Once you decide what type of garden you’d like to start, you’ll need to plan a few things before getting to work. 【3】 Find a place that is fairly flat and gets good sunlight. After that, it is necessary to pick the right soil. An expert at a gardening store can advise you on the best soil for your needs.
After you have the correct soil, choose your plants. Will you start with seeds or young plants? Growing from seeds is often less expensive. And it’s more satisfying, because you have a chance to watch the growth from seed to plant. 【4】 There’s a better possibility your plant will survive the environment condition to produce.
【5】 I suggest planting right before the start of the growing season so the plants can adapt to the soil. You’ll see them start to produce sooner.
A．Now you’re ready to plant your garden.
B．Starting a new one might seem challenging.
C．But growing from young plants is easier.
D．First, work out where your garden will lie.
E．You’ll be able to plant season after season and try to grow new things.
F．It will help you explore and understand the whole progress of these plants.
G．There are many different things you can grow and many different reasons to grow.
25、The curious and friendly joey named ‘Dusty’ is now so comfortable living with the couple and their dogs Lilly and Rosie on their farm, having a beautiful _________ on a hill, that the Stewarts are_________he is a dog too.
Dusty rides around the property in the back of Mr. Stewart’s truck along with the dogs, sleeps with them on a dog bed, eats with them, and asks for_________.
His unique_________began when Mr. Stewart_________to drive down to a dam on the couple’s property in Wittenoom Hills, 60 kilometres from Esperance, and_________two dogs named Lilly and Rosie.
“I took the dogs in and he was_________around and looking up at the truck and so I just picked him up and put him in the back with them,” Mr. Stewart told Daily Mail Australia. “I didn’t think too much of it. We_________through the farm and came back together. He was_________sitting on the back, and I didn’t drive too fast because I’d be__________about him jumping off. He didn’t jump in, so I__________him in and out.”
While the__________down to the dam has only happened a few times, Dusty, whom the couple often call ‘Skip’, has also picked up some very canine-like__________.
“He just likes to play with the dogs, probably because he thinks he’s a dog. He eats and sleeps with them, and will wander down to the shed with them and lie around if I’m working there,”Mr. Stewart said.
Dusty also has a collar, like many dogs, as a protective__________to ensure he can be found at nighttime. “When he was little we were__________to let him out during the day and he went off grazing and wouldn’t come back at night, so we had to look for him. We just couldn’t find him as kangaroos didn’t make any noise and were very__________. Once we found him he would always come back with us, so we decided to wrap some__________tape around a collar so when we shone a torch at night we could see him,”Mr. Stewart said.
As a poetry written by Walt Whitman__________it, “I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self﹣contained”. When finished reading this essay, I got a__________and comprehensive understanding of this description. Needless to say, the canine-like kangaroos brought happiness to the Stewarts and enriched their life. And that’s what make me__________that we should treat animals well and live harmoniously.
