21、 At some point, you’ve likely encountered a long, flat time when your reserve of recommended books ran dry. Thankfully, there are personalized book recommendation websites across the Internet to save us.
WHICHBOOK
On Whichbook, book recommendations are calculated by one out of two categories: 1. Mood, or 2. Character, setting, and plot. The reader has the choice to use slides on the “Mood” section to rate what they’re looking for in a book. Do you want a book that is completely happy? Or on the border between safe and disturbing? There is also the option to select your desired character traits, the story setting, or plot points that you’d like included in the recommendation.
READGEEK
In order to get a hold of book suggestions, simply rate a few books that you’ve read on a 1—10 scale. After you finish rating as many as you’d like, Readgeek calculates which books you’d most likely enjoy based on your previous ratings.
LITERATURE MAP
At Literature Map, you can type in an author’s name and then view similar authors that other readers are enjoying. The site generates a map that displays author names in relative states of closeness. The closer the authors, the more likely other readers enjoyed both.
GOODREADS
Goodreads provides a space for people to track their reading, write reviews, and view books, lists, and authors that match their interests. When creating an account on Goodreads, the reader has the opportunity to create original book lists. Every time you view a book description that sounds interesting, you can save the book to a list of books you plan to read later.

22、 Just as a hungry brain craves (渴望) food, a lonely brain craves people. A new brain study demonstrates this. After being left alone, it shows people's brains would be activated at the sight of other people. The action was in the same brain region that speeds up when a hungry person sees food.
Livia Tomova, a neuroscientist, who studies how the brain produces mental activities, and her colleagues began this study. They recruited (招募) 40 people. On one day, the participants had to fast—not eat anything at all—for 10 hours. On another day, the same people were placed in a room for 10 hours. They couldn't see anyone. No friends, no family and no social media. They weren't even allowed to check their email. After both days, Tomova and her colleagues put the people in a MRI machine. It shows activity in the brain by tracking how much blood is flowing to each region.
At the end of each day, the participants showed high activity in a brain area called the midbrain. The scientists were interested in two, small areas within it. Both areas produce dopamine, a chemical that is important in craving and rewards. The two areas activated when hungry participants saw pictures of tasty pizza or juicy hamburgers. After the volunteers had been isolated, those brain areas became active when they saw social activities they missed. It might be playing sports or chatting with friends.
The midbrain plays an important part in people's motivation to seek food or friends. In fact, it responds to food and social signals even when people aren't hungry or lonely. But hunger and loneliness increased the reactions and made people's responses specific to the thing they were missing. And the more hunger or isolation the volunteers said they were experiencing, the stronger the activity in this part of the brain. Tomova and her colleagues published their results November 23 in Nature Neuroscience.
【1】How does Tomova test out the result of the study?
A．By stimulating desire.
B．By controlling blood flow.
C．By monitoring brain activity.
D．By examining mental activities.
【2】What do we know about midbrain?
A．It consists of two areas.
B．It helps motivate desire for food.
C．It stops working when people are full.
D．It decreases responses to lost friends.
【3】What does the underlined “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．A midbrain area.
B．A social activity.
C．A volunteer.
D．A hamburger.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．Dopamine—a Sure Sign of Age
B．Midbrain—a Nest for the Thoughts
C．Hunger Makes Mental Health Struggle
D．Loneliness Makes Our Brains Need People
23、Everything about Pakistani (巴基斯坦的) trucks is lively, from the colors to the designs to the wood carvings on the doors. Each one is carefully decorated, and no two trucks are alike. The drivers hope people will look at their truck with love. Every driver wants his truck to be the most admired vehicle on the road.
Just off the main road between Islamabad and Rawalpindi, there are artists, welders, metalworkers, horn sellers and electricians, all busy refurbishing (整修) and decorating the massive vehicles parked in the yard. Their space, called the carriage factory area, is devoted to the maintenance and care of trucks that serve the purpose of transporting goods from one place to another while looking and sounding as impressive as possible.
Scholars have traced evidence of decorated transport in Pakistan back thousands of years. The Pakistani practice of truck painting began gaining widespread popularity soon after the country’s independence.
Trucks are covered with designs, colorful stickers and fanciful paintings—hearts, flowers, peacocks, movie stars, folk singers, animals, politicians, angels and army generals. Chains dangling off the bottom jingle and sway with the truck’s stops and turns. There are lines of poetry expressing the loneliness of the trucker.
Drivers also have their choice when it comes to the horns. In his shop, Javed Iqbal vocalizes (使发声) some of the horn sounds for visitors. Many drivers request the “rail wallah” horn, he says, the one that sounds like a train. And for those who don’t want to choose just one sound, he sells a single horn with multiple effects.
Thanks in part to the efforts of Khan, the anthropologist and filmmaker, Pakistani trucks also serve a social good. She helped launch an award-winning project in 2019 in which a small number of trucks carry portraits (画像) of missing children, along with a number to call for Roshni Helpline, a Karachi-based nonprofit dedicated to recovering them. Of the 20 or so missing children whose portraits were painted on trucks, at least five were found.
【1】What can be learned about Pakistani trucks?

【2】Why do Pakistanis decorate their trucks?
A．They show off their talent in poetry in this way.
B．They follow the tradition of decorating transports.
C．They do it to celebrate the country’s independence.
D．They intend to attract the attention of potential hirers.
【3】What is the case when it comes to the horns of the trucks?
A．Many of them sound like trains.
B．Each truck has more than one horn.
C．They are fixed at the bottom part of the trucks.
D．Drivers have their choices as to how they want them look like.
【4】In what way docs Pakistani trucks contribute to a good cause?

B．They transport goods for those in need.
C．They appear in public service advertising.
D．They spread ideas of non-profit organizations.
24、Do dogs understand us?
Be careful what you say around your dog．It might understand more than you think．
A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany．The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child．Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee．
In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects．Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back．In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right．As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words．
In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew．The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before．
The correct object was chosen in seven out of ten tests, suggesting that the dog had worked
out the answer by process of elimination（排除法）．A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive．
Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog．For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed （品种）known for its mental abilities．In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months．
It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say．Even if they do, they can't talk back．Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then．You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!
【1】From paragraph 2 we know that __________．
A．animals are as clever as human beings
B．chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills
C．dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees
D．dogs have similar learning abilities as 3-year-old children
【2】Both experiments show that_____________．
A．Rico is smart enough to get all commands right
B．Rico can recognize different things including toys

D．Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them
【3】Which of the following statements is true?
A．Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training．
B．The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities．
C．The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects．
D．Rico is born to understand its owner's commands．
【4】What does the writer want to tell us?

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。
I was still a thief when I met Anil. And though only 15, I was an experienced and fairly successful hand.
Anil was about 25—a tall, thin fellow—and he looked easy-going, kind and simple enough for my purpose. I might be able to get into his confidence.
I gave him my most appealing smile. “I want to work for you.” I said.
“But I can't pay you.”
Perhaps I had misjudged the man. I asked, “Can you feed me?”
“Can you cook?”
“I can cook.” I lied.
“If you can cook, then I can feed you.”
The meal I cooked that night must have been terrible because Anil gave it to a stray dog and old me to be off. But I just hung around smiling in my most appealing way, and he couldn't help laughing.
Later he patted me on the head and said never mind, he'd teach me to cook. He also taught me to write my name and said he would soon teach me to write whole sentences and to add numbers. I was grateful. I knew that once I could write like an educated man there would be no limit to what I could achieve.
One evening he came home with a small bundle of notes, saying he had just sold a book to a publisher. At night, I saw him put the money under the mattress (床垫).
It's time I did some real work, I told myself. After all, he doesn't even pay me.
Anil was asleep. I crept up to the bed. Anil was sleeping peacefully. My hand slid under the mattress, searching for the notes. When I found them, I drew them out without a sound. Anil sighed in his sleep and turned on his side, towards me. I was frightened and quickly crawled out of the room.
I began to run, holding the notes by the string of my pajamas (睡衣). But I slowed down and sat down in the shelter of the clock tower. I should go back to Anil, I told myself, if only to learn to read and write.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I hurried back to the room feeling very nervous.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I awoke late next morning to find that Anil had already made the tea.
