21、Why do old people dislike new music? As I’ve grown older, I often hear people of my age say they just don’t like good music as they used to. Why does this happen? Luckily, psychology can give us some insights into this puzzle. Musical tastes begin to become clear as early as age 13 or 14. By the time we’re in our early 20s, these tastes get locked into place pretty firmly.
In fact, studies have found that by the time we turn 33, most of us have stopped listening to new music. Meanwhile, popular songs released when you’re in your early teens are likely to remain quite popular among your age group for the rest of your life.
There could be a biological explanation for this, as there’s evidence that the brain’s ability to make subtle distinctions between different chords, rhythms, and melodies weakens with age. So to older people, newer, less familiar songs might all “sound the same.”
But there are maybe some simpler reasons for older people’s dislike to newer music. One of the most researched laws of social psychology is something called the “mere exposure effect”, which in essence means that the more we’re exposed to something, the more we tend to like it. This happens with people we know, the advertisements we see and, the songs we listen to. When you’re in your early teens, you probably spend a fair amount of time listening to music or watching music videos. Your favorite songs and artists become familiar, comforting parts of your routine.
For many people over 30, job and family obligations increase, so there’s less time to spend discovering new music. Instead, many will simply listen to old, familiar favorites from that period of their lives when they had more free time.
Psychology research has shown that the emotions that we experience as teens seem more intense than those that come later. And we also know that intense emotions are associated with stronger memories and preferences. Both of these might explain why the songs we listen to during this period become so memorable and beloved.
So there’s nothing wrong with your parents because they don’t like your music. Rather it’s all part of the natural order of things.
【1】What have studies found about most people by the time they turn 33?
A．They show little interest in new music.
B．They find all music sounds the same.
C．They can make subtle distinctions about music.
D．They seldom listen to songs released in their teens.
【2】Which of the following explains the underlined phrase “mere exposure effect” in Para 4?
A．Tom likes the book, so he reads it more times.
B．Andy recites the words repeatedly and he is fed up with them.
C．Mike often listens to the same song and becomes more and more interested in it.
D．Peter goes to school by bike every day, and therefore his riding skills are better and better.
【3】What is the initial factor of one’s preference for songs according to the psychology research?
A．Strong memory.
B．Job obligation.
C．Natural order.
D．Intense emotion.
【4】What’s the best title of this passage?
A．Quality issues of new music.
B．Older people’s dislike of new music.
C．Older people’s changing musical tastes.
D．Insights into the features of good music.
22、 Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) recently tested an oven they used to bake five chocolate chip cookies. We now know the results of that experiment: the cookies took a lot longer to bake in space than on Earth. The cookies that came out best required two hours of baking time inside the International Space Station. The baking time for cookies on Earth is generally only about 20 minutes.
The cookies returned to Earth earlier this month aboard a SpaceX-built spacecraft that splashed down in the Pacific Ocean. The cookies are the first food baked in space from raw food materials. They remain frozen in a laboratory in Houston, Texas. The American company Nanoracks designed and built the cookie oven. Hilton DoubleTree hotels supplied the cookie dough.
The makers of the oven did expect some difference in the baking time in space, but they were surprised that that difference was so large. "There's still a lot to look into to figure out really what's driving that difference, but definitely a cool result," said Mary Murphy. She is with the company Nanoracks, which is based in Texas. Murphy said the baking results will continue to be examined in order to better understand why space baking took so much longer. In addition, researchers will study the effectiveness of the baking tray, which was designed to work in microgravity conditions.
The five chocolate chip cookies were frozen when they were sent to space. Each had to be baked separately in the oven. Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano took charge of the baking experiment in December. He reported that the first cookie stayed in the oven for 25 minutes at 149 degrees Celsius. When it came out of the oven, it was seriously under-baked. For the next two cookies, Parmitano more than doubled the baking time. Those cookies came out better, but were still under-baked. The fourth cookie stayed in the oven for two hours, after which Parmitano was able to report success. "I can't tell you whether it's cooked all the way or not, but it certainly doesn't look like cookie dough anymore," he reported to controllers back on Earth. For the fifth cookie, Parmitano turned the oven temperature up to 163 degrees Celsius and baked it for 130 minutes. This time, he reported the best baking results.
No one has tasted the space-traveling cookies just yet. Organizers of the experiment say additional testing will need be carried out to determine whether they are safe to eat.
【1】How long do it takes to bake cookies in ISS?
A.About 20 minutes. B.25 minutes.
C.About an hour. D.2 hours.
【2】What is the oven maker's attitude towards the large difference?
A.Critical. B.Amazed.
C.Indifferent D.Worried
【3】What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?
A.The baking experiments ended up in a success.
B.Each of the five cookies was cooked in different time.
C.The more time, the better baking results.
D.The five cookies were frozen after baking.
【4】What can be concluded in the passage?
A.The space-traveling cookies are safe for astronauts to eat.
B.Cookies on Earth are the same as the space-traveling cookies.
C.More tests will be taken for the space-traveling cookies.
D.The five cookies ended up in the Pacific Ocean.

24、 Nobody likes an old poop（傻子）. Developing a sense of humor is part of becoming a mature, emotionally healthy individual. Laughter is good for the soul, builds friendships and relieves stress. It serves as the glue for social situations and as an ice-breaker for sadness and boredom. If you’ve ever been told to “lighten up” or “chill out”, you should save the blue attitude for serious situations and develop your sense of humor.
Forgive the accidental. A sudden fall is humorous not because we like to see people fall, but because it surprises. From a spilled（溢出）water glass in a meeting to Aunt Rae’s teeth coming off in the Thanksgiving turkey, the embarrassment of accidents can be relieved by humor and a helping hand. After making sure that nobody’s hurt, forgive accidents with a chuckle（咯咯地笑）rather than a scolding.
Look for the unexpected. The kid who used to look at you with his eyes closed during a test had the idea. Parents who serve green eggs and ham to their children on graduation day get the idea. Unexpected actions lighten an atmosphere and relax people.
Learn to laugh with your kids. Most of what children say and do is funny. Help them learn that accidents are sometimes funny and sometimes occasions for joining in and helping another human being. By sharing laughs and attempting to explain humor, you develop your sense of humor, as well as help kids develop their own sense of humor.
【1】If you’ve ever been told to “lighten up” or “chill out”, it means ______.
A. you are humorous B. you are blue
C. you lack humor D. you are funny
【2】According to Paragraph 2, when your friend falls, you can ______.
A. laugh at him B. chuckle
C. scold him D. feel embarrassed
【3】 In the author’s opinion, if your mother serves green eggs and hum to you on your graduation day, she is ______.
A. boring B. serious C. considerate D. humorous

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
An A for Mrs.B
I was sitting next to Missy in my ninth grade world history class when Mrs. Bartlett announced a new project. In groups, we were to create a newspaper around the culture we were studying.
On a piece of paper, we wrote the names of three friends we wanted in our group. After collecting all the requests, Mrs. B. informed us that she would take into consideration the names we chose and would let us know the results the next day. I had no doubt I would get the group of my choice. There were only a handful of sociably decent people in the class, and Missy was one of them. I knew we had chosen each other.
The next day, I anxiously awaited the class. Mrs. B started to call out names. When she reached group three, Missy’s name was called. So I’m in group three, I thought. The second, third and fourth members of the group were called. My name was not included. There had to be some mistake!
Then I heard it. The last group: “Mauro, Julette, Rachel, Karina." I could feel the tears well in my eyes. How could I face being in that group-the boy who barely spoke English, the one girl who was always covered by skirts that went down to her ankles, and the other girl who wore weird clothes. Oh, how badly I wanted to be with my friends.
I fought back tears as I walked up to Mrs. B. She looked at me and knew what I was here for. I was determined to convince her I should be in the “good” group.
She gently placed a hand on my shoulder. “I know what you want, Katrina,” she said, “but your group needs you. I need you to help them get a passing grade on this assignment. Only you can help them.”
I was stunned and amazed. She had seen something in me I hadn’t seen. “Will you help them?” I stood straighter. “Yes,” I replied. I couldn’t believe it came out of my mouth, but it did. I had committed.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I bravely walked to where the others in my group sat.
