21、An African proverb says that a single hand cannot tie a bundle. Everyone needs companions to help them sail through the rough seas of life. Even the strongest and richest person still needs friends. Our money and strength would have no value if we had no friends to share with us. The best friendship is a give-and-take relationship. We need the support of our family, friends and the community. In turn we also give support to the society, our friends and our family.
The word “friend” has many meanings. It could be the bus driver who takes you to and from work every day. It could be a parent, a colleague, a wife or husband, a brother or sister, or even the unknown person who helped you just once when you could not find your way. Real friends share not only our happiness but our sorrows as well. This may explain why we have the expression “a friend in need is a friend indeed”.
Friendship is like the sunshine that keeps us warm. It is like the refreshing raindrops on the fields that give the farmers hope of a good planting season. Without friends our life would be like a desert where our only friend would be loneliness and sadness. The most fortunate person is the one who has friends from all levels in the society. A driver might find friends not only among his colleagues but among farmers, bankers, traders, students, politicians or teachers. We should never forget our old friends when we make new ones. We should treasure each of our friends whether poor or rich, beautiful or not. Each friend is unique in his or her own way. And all together, they enrich life and make it very colourful.

22、 Fran’s husband Tom had a habit of throwing his dirty socks into the laundry basket, but frequently missing by a few inches. It really frustrated Fran when she had to pick up his socks and place them in the basket. After learning the techniques of behavior modification(矫正)，Fran decided to stop nagging(唠叨) her husband and try positive reinforcement(加强). When he missed the basket, she said nothing and quietly picked up his socks. However, one day when his socks actually landed in the target, she quickly reinforced the appropriate behavior by saying, “ I really like it when you put your socks right inside the basket.” She followed this statement with a hug. Within a week, Tom was hitting the target every time, or picking up the socks by hand and placing them inside the basket whenever he missed. Consequently, an argument was avoided.
There is an old saying that” you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar”, which is the principal behind behavior modification. Complaining to someone of doing something, whether it’s a partner or a child, often gets just the opposite response: resistance. But almost everyone respond to positive reinforcement and this approach to changing someone’s behavior takes a little patience and emotional control.
Experts of behavior modification believe habits are learned because of reinforcement from the environment. This theory states that people will always do the behavior that results in the most favorable outcome. Even if in the doing, there are some negative effects. For instance，Fran may have learned from her mother that it really didn’t matter whether her husband’s socks landed in the basket or not. It is because she’d come along and pick them up for him. That was the favorable outcome but, if he only got negative messages from Fran for the same behavior, he didn’t have much motivation to abandon it.
Of course for some people nothing will work, but it’s sure worth a try, for treating them with a hostile attitude probably won’t get you what you want , but it will get you a bad relationship with them. Positive reinforcement can be used with anyone, for any behavior, because all of us resist criticism and respond to praise. So, the next time you want someone to meet your wishes, try a little applause for the desired behavior.
【1】Why does the author present Tom and Fran’s story at the beginning of the passage?
A.To show Tom is one of those needing behavior modification.
B.To introduce the techniques of behavior modification.
C.To let the readers know this family.
D.To list ways to get rid of bad habits.
【2】Which of the following best fits the principle behind behavior modification?
A.Leaving a child alone when he or she does something wrong.
B.Telling a child not to make the same mistakes again.
C.Taking no notice of one’s occasional good behavior.
D.Praising one for his or her good deeds.
【3】Which statement about a habit may the author agree with?
A.Criticism contributes a lot to the formation of a bad habit.
B.Most of our habits are formed in childhood.
C.A habit is usually reinforced by favorable outcome.
D.We can always get along with a person of good habits.
【4】What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A.Positive reinforcement should be applied to anyone.
B.Positive reinforcement works on anyone.
C.By using positive reinforcement we don’t fail to get what we want
D.By using positive reinforcement we can improving our relationship with anyone else.
【5】The purpose of the passage is to tell us_____.
A.what behavior modification is
B.the way to get along with others
C.how to bring out the best in others
D.the training of behavior modification
23、 It felt like a disaster when my washing machine broke last winter. Just one week of cleaning the kids’ football kits in the bath left me with an aching back, itchy fingers and a deep mould darkening the boards of the bathroom floor.
But the short-term trials of 21st-century housekeeping are thrown into sharp relief by Beezy Marsh’s absorbing new book about her grandmother, Annie Austin, one of 1,000 women employed in the slum(贫民窟) laundries of London back in 1918.
Although the Fisher Act of 1918 made it compulsory for children to attend school under the age of 14, Annie was just 12 when she began work in the coal-stained streets of Acton.
Her pregnant mother and bossy stepfather already worked there and they had her grandmother and weak-chested younger brother George to support. Before the National Health Service, a doctor’s bills could break a family.
Sweet Lavender, Honeysuckle Villa and Blanchisserie Royal --- the laundries all had picture-postcard names to give their wealthy customers the illusion of clean country air.
But there was no rural scenery behind the wet windows of the sweatshops where little girls scrubbed dirt from collars and sleeve openings from 8 am to 8 pm every weekday, working half-day on Saturdays.
Marsh, a journalist, writes with novelistic talent. She makes you smell the sickening smell of the dirty clothes and feel the pain of soaps in the open wound of Annie’s cracked and swollen fingers. And she also makes you feel the pride that these women took in the honest, hard work that kept their families above the breadlines.
Annie’s mother, Emma, was the laundry’s chief ironer. She lifted ten-pound irons around to press the pleated(有褶的) silk of the finest clothes.
But Emma was keeping secrets behind her clean appearance. She had told Annie her father had been killed in the Great War, but if that was the case, then why was his photograph hidden at the bottom of her button box?
Her seeking for the truth revealed a tale of gambling, debt, betrayal and murder.
As Marsh discovered, “The choices made by one generation were sometimes considered too shocking for the next generation to bear.”
Annie’s adventures find her visiting the dens(贼窝) of backstreet abortionists, the homes of bullied Eastern European immigrants and the pubs of Covent Garden.
There are also enjoyable details of Annie’s love affairs with the handsome actor who takes her out for champagne at the Café de Paris in a borrowed fox-fur coat and her slower burning romance with Geordie union man, Harry. When Harry kneels beside the Thames and offer her a ring of seed pearls and sapphire(蓝宝石), Annie thinks it is the most beautiful thing she has ever seen.
【1】What can be learned about Annie’s family?
A．She began to work after finishing compulsory education.
B．Her younger brother had some problems with his heart.
C．Her family pulled through thanks to the National Health Service.
D．Her father probably got murdered due to his debts from gambling.
【2】According to Paragraph 5 and 6, it can be concluded that _____.
A．the laundries would send their customers postcards as gifts.
B．the laundries didn’t have countryside scenery inside.
C．the laundries were located in rural areas with clean air.
D．the laundries then pitilessly exploited the little girls.
【3】Which of the following words best describe Annie?
A．Tough and brave.
B．Honest and optimistic.
C．Proud and patient.
D．Romantic and talented.
【4】By writing the passage, the author aims to ______.
A．describe Beezy Marsh’s grandmother’s life in a laundry.
B．describe how Beezy Marsh’s grandmother sought for the truth.
C．describe Beezy Marsh’s remarkable writing skills.
D．introduce Beezy Marsh’s book about her grandmother.
24、 A family in Edinburgh has discovered that an old chess piece they kept in a drawer for 55 years is a long-lost part of a medieval(中世纪的）chess set. The piece was bought by their grandfather for £5 from an antique dealer in Edinburgh in 1964. It is estimated that it could now sell for £ 1 million at auction(拍卖). It is one of five missing pieces from the Lewis Chessmen, a set of medieval chess pieces that were found in a sand hill on the Isle of Lewis, off Scotland’s west coast, in 1831.
The piece is 8.8 centimeters tall and made from walrus ivory, a rare material in those days. It is warder, which is a prison guard, with a helmet, shield and sword. This piece would be the same as a rook(车), or castle in a modern chess set.
The family, who don’t want to make their name public, explained how their grandfather was unaware of the piece’s importance when he bought it in 1964. After he died, it was looked after by his daughter, who believed that it had magical qualities. They finally realized how important the piece was when it was examined by Alexander Kader, an expert at Sotheby’s auction house in London.
The Lewis Chessmen are famous all over the world. The set is split between the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh, and the British Museum in London, attracting lots of visitors. They are thought to have been made in Trondheim, Norway, between AD 1150 and 1200, and were probably buried on Lewis for safekeeping on their way to being sold in Ireland. Nobody really knows for sure why they were buried there or how they were discovered.
The piece will go on display in Edinburgh and then London before its auction on 2 July. It is expected to either be bought by, or loaned to, a museum. Kader says there are still four missing pieces out there, “However, it might take another 150 years for one to show up.”
【1】Which of the following is TRUE about the Lewis Chessmen?
A.It has a history of 55 years. B.It consists of 5 missing chesses.
C.It is made from walrus ivory. D.It is the equivalent of a rook.
【2】People are most likely to see the Lewis Chessmen _________ .
A.in a sand hill B.in the museums
C.in a family drawer D.at an auction house
【3】Why did the daughter keep the chess piece for so many years?
A.She was honoring her late grandfather’s wish.
B.She knew it had certain historical value.
C.She didn’t want to make its existence public.
D.She thought it had some mysterious power-
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Where the chess piece will end up remains to be seen.
B.The other four missing pieces will eventually surface.
C.The family expects the piece to be sold to the museum.
D.The auction will attract many private collectors in Scotland.
25、 Nowadays, many of us track our steps with smart watches, pedometers（计步器）or phone apps and are of course thrilled when we reach that all-important daily goal of 10,000 steps. You might _______ that this number has appeared after years of research.
The _______ number "10,000" dates back to a marketing campaign _______ shortly before the start of the1964 Tokyo Olympic Games.

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Imagine you receive an e-mail like this ： ARE YOU GOING TO CLASS TODAY? This e-mail “sounds" like the writer is yelling because using all capital letters in an e-mail is usually the way that people shout online. Knowing when to use capital letters is one example of online etiquette （礼仪）・ Following are some dos and don'ts for communicating appropriately with others in cyberspace.
First, always remember that you are sending messages to a real person, not just to a computer. So don’t type anything you wouldn't say to someone's face. Also, remember that the person who receives your message cannot hear the tone of your voice, or see the expression on your face. So make sure your meaning is clear.
Internet is a big place with lots of information, and there are many new things to discover. However, don't take anything without paying for it, unless it's free. Don’t use information that someone else has written, and say it's yours. Do share your knowledge of the Internet with others.
It's okay to express your opinions online in forums like chat rooms or message boards, but don't start arguments with people. "Flame wars" in online discussions can be interesting to read, but are often unfair to other members of the group. Express your ideas, but remember that fighting on or offline is not appropriate.
Remember that people judge you by your words as well as your actions, so do try to write well. Good writing skills, as well as correct grammar and spelling, do matter. Send polite, well-written messages to others. If you are uncertain about how to spell a word or which phrase to use, look it up. There are lots of helpful books and websites.
