21、 Once,I had an American friend.After she went back home,I never heard from her again.I can't help but wonder if there can ever be real friendship between Westerners and us Chinese.
What is friendship?The Oxford English Dictionary says,"The emotions or conduct of friends."In both Western and Chinese culture,we have similar proverbs when it comes to friendship,such as"a friend in need is a friend indeed."【1】
Chinese people value friendship highly.As you know,Chinese people are known to be extremely hospitable and open-hearted.【2】 However,there are different types of friend ship and they treat them differently.
One type of friend in China is a"close acquaintance"who only occasionally eats and drinks and hangs out with you.In the West,they are called"a fair-weather(不可共患难的）friend."Nikki was that kind of friend.Despite our language barrier,we had a lot of fun together..【3】 Only real friends can enter your inner circle,where assistance and special care are always provided.
【4】 They tend to make friends with those who share the same values or interests.When foreign friend of mine asks for favors on behalf of his or her friend,I often have to clarify whether that person is a"close friend"or just a friend,and then I will decide how much I will help.
【5】 But the depth of that friendship is different.So how will you know how l feel ab out you?Well,the moment I stop being polite around you,you are my real friend.
A.They refer to anyone they know as a"friend."
B.Friendship in the West is mostly pursued for fun.
C.However,there is a cultural gap between the two sides.
D.Of course,Westerners and Chinese people can be good friends.
E.Real friends can share all our sorrows and double all our joys.
F.The second type of friend in China is a"real friend"who is practically your family.
G.They'll take turns with you in picking up the bill,because that's what good friends do.
22、Hundreds of years ago，a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots, a brave people, loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland, but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.
One night, the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight, my men,” he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”
They were all very tired, so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they were very tired, too, and one by one, they fell asleep.
The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside, taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly, one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for a battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.

23、 Recently, as I watched my son Nathan playing basketball game, I felt sorry for myself and for him. He was playing in the other team’s home gym filled with their supporters, and Nathan’s team was falling behind for three quarters of the game. As for me, I was dismissed from my job earlier in the day.
Watching the difficult situation that my son was experiencing, I remembered that during the drive home earlier in the day, I kept telling myself that “just like last time I experienced this, I’ll find work again in a short time—I’m confident in my experience and abilities and believe in myself.” But then, self-doubt hit me.
The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan’s team still falling behind. I saw the determination on his, as well as his teammates’ faces as they fought back to not only tie with the other team, but then go ahead by three points. Then, the scores were tied again.With a tie game and seconds on the clock, Nathan found himself with the ball, and with skill and confidence, he moved forward to make the basket with a defender hanging all over him. The other player was called for a foul.
As Nathan stood at the foul line preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points, I saw the focus and determination on his face; there was no room for self-doubt. He made it, helping his team win the game. Later he told me he didn’t know how he did it because he had lost all feelings in his right arm from being thrown to the floor earlier the game.
As my heart burst with pride, I realized something. I had taught my son—perseverance in the face of difficulties, and he had just taught me the same lesson. That brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was swept away by the actions of my son on the basketball court. He’ll play in the finals, but it doesn’t matter if he wins or loses. On that day, we both won.
【1】Why did the author feel sorry?
A.He used to be too busy to accompany Nathan.
B.Nathan’s team was too weak to compete in the game.
C.He had made a big mistake in his work.
D.He and Nathan were both going through a hard time.
【2】What can be inferred about the author?
A.He had lost his job more than once. B.He always lacked self-confidence.
C.He didn’t know his abilities well. D.He disliked the job he had been doing.
【3】How was the last quarter of the game?
A.Nathan’s teammates lost hope. B.The other team played casually.
C.The game was very fierce at last. D.It ended up with a big score difference.
【4】We can learn from the passage that Nathan________.
A.had always been the author’s pride and joy
B.wouldn’t have won but for the author’s
C.wasn’t surprised at the result of the game at all
D.played very well in the game despite his injury
【5】What was the author’s win on that day?
A.He found his true passion.
B.He overcame his self-doubt.
C.He learnt something new from his son.
D.He finally won his son’s respect.
24、Everyone is afraid of something. Maybe you’re afraid of spiders, or heights, or dogs, or the dark. And traditionally, we’ve thought that’s because you learned to be afraid. Probably because you had a bad experience with something at some point. But there’s a different idea out there that’s been getting more attention lately: the idea that fears aren’t just learned. they also can be inherited(遗传).
It sounds like a wild idea. But over the last fifty years, researchers have been studying just how much fears have to do with inheritance and genetics. And their results have been kind of surprising.
In this work, they’ve put a lot of effort into understanding one extreme kind of fear, called a phobia. To get a sense of how much genes influence fear, scientists have begun looking at identical twins. As identical twins have almost the same DNA, researchers can figure out how heritable (遗传的) a fear is by comparing how often specific phobias appear in identical twins as opposed to other brothers or sisters. Because even though twins often have lots of similar experiences, they probably don’t share the types of experiences that cause phobias — like getting bitten by a dog or falling out of a tree.
In 1998, a study of 659 pairs of identical and fraternal twins (双胞)in Australia looked at how many had a fear of blood. The study found that genetics accounted for 71 percent of the variation among those people, meaning genetic factors play a pretty big role in determining whether a person has some specific fear.
A 2016 study also found that fear of dental work was over 30 percent heritable. So, if you are afraid of going to the dentist, it really might not be your dentist’s fault. Overall, first — degree relatives of people with phobias are more likely to have similar phobias than people with no family history.
So, it’s pretty clear that phobias are heritable!
【1】What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in Para. 2?
A．It’s surprising that people know so little about inheritance and genetics.
B．It’s natural that people become afraid of things that they had bad experience with.
C．It’s unbelievable that people can inherit something so abstract like fear.
D．It’s interesting that people are afraid of so many things such as spiders and the dark.
【2】Why did the scientists choose identical twins as their test subjects?
A．They look very much alike.
B．They have identical personalities.
C．They have shared experiences.
D．They share basically the same DNA.
【3】What did the author try to prove by mentioning the studies in Para. 4 and 5?
A．Fear of things can be a result of genetic inheritance.
B．Most people have some kind of fear.
C．Fear of blood is the most common phobia.
D．Dentists are scary to many kids.
【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．People tend to learn to be afraid.
B．Fear has much to do with a bad experience with something.
C．Twins are more likely to feel afraid of something than others.
D．Phobias have something to do with inheritance and genetics.
