21、The Oxford English Dictionary defines “awe” as “a feeling of reverential (虔诚的) respect mixed with fear or wonder”. Sometimes taking a moment to stop and appreciate something like the Grand Canyon or a clear, starry night can make you feel like a tiny part of a vast universe swirling around. A research found that feeling of being small might actually make you a kinder, more generous person.
The research was done by teams from the University of California Berkeley and UC Irvine. “Our investigation indicates that awe, though often momentary and hard to describe, serves a vital social function,” said Paul Piff in a statement.
The researchers exposed participants to images of nature. They included video clips from the BBC series Planet Earth. Then Piff and his team asked questions. The researchers measured moral behavior, especially generosity. Those who reported feeling a sense of awe or recalled a time when they felt awe displayed more moral behavior as opposed to someone who felt pride.
Actually, it isn’t only the natural wonders that are awe-inspiring. After all, awe is defined partly by the fear one feels in the face of something larger than themselves. In fact, the same generous behavior was detected in people who were shown scenes of natural disasters, according to Hoffman. Whether it was watching scenes of the Amazonian rainforest or a violent volcanic eruption, participants were more willing to share resources with each other afterwards.
Recent studies suggest that experiencing awe may also boost your immune system. And it could make you feel more creative. It can even make you feel that you have more time to get things done.
【1】What do the researchers find in the investigation?
A．Awe often lasts for a long time.
B．Awe often makes people less confident.
C．Experiencing awe inspires moral behavior.
D．Moral behavior can be easily detected in generous people.
【2】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．People experience fear in the face of natural wonders.
B．People with pride tend to display more moral behavior.
C．Scenes of natural disasters can help promote generosity.
D．Natural wonders bring a stronger sense of awe than natural disasters.
【3】Where is the text most probably from?
A．A short story.
B．A book review.
C．A geography book.
D．A science magazine.
22、 Few people can resist the lure (诱惑) of a delicious ice cream, especially on a hot day. The only thing that spoils the fun is that the treat is hard to enjoy slowly, often ending up with a sticky melted mess. Now, researchers from Colombia's Pontificia Bolivariana University may have found an unlikely partner to help solve this age-old problem---cellulose fiber(纤维素) extracted from banana plant waste. Bananas, as you probably know, grow in bunches on a tree-like plant. Each bunch is attached to a central stalk, called a rachis(叶轴), which is thrown once the fruit has been harvested. The team, led by Dr. Robin Zuluaga Gallego, began extracting cellulose nanofibrils (CNFS) from powdered rachis. The tasteless, odorless macro fibers, thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair were then added in various concentrations to 100 grams of ice cream mix.
With the right amount of CNFS mixed in, the dessert lasted longer in its frozen state than conventional ice cream, extending both its shelf life and the amount of time the treat can be enjoyed. Even more exciting was that the fibers increased the stickiness of low-fat ice cream to levels higher than the full-fat one. Since this is what determines the frozen treats’ creaminess and texture, CNFS could help create healthier ice cream without compromising on taste.
The researchers, who presented their findings at the American Chemical Society (ACS) meeting in New Orleans on March 21, 2018, next plan to investigate how different types of fat, such as coconut oil, affect the behavior of CNFS in other frozen treats.
The Colombian researchers are not the only one working on creating a slower-melting ice cream. In 2015, scientists at the University of Dundee in Scotland found that a naturally occurring protein called BSIA(Bacterial Surface Layer A) was remarkably effective in keeping the treat frozen for longer periods of time. With both teams competing to be the first to get to market, the future of everyone’s favorite dessert certainly looks promising.
【1】What prevents people enjoying an ice cream slowly?
A.The hot weather.
B.A kind of fiber from banana.
C.The ice creams’ stickiness.
D.The ice creams’ quick melting.
【2】Which is NOT a benefit of CNFS added to ice cream mix?
A.To improve its flavor.
B.To make it more healthy.
C.To reduce its fat content.
D.To make it melt more slowly.
【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.CNFS are more useful and effective than BSLA.
B.Ice cream with BSLA has been on sale at the market.
C.Slowly enjoying an ice cream will soon become a reality.
D.The Colombian research team has taken the lead in the competition with the Scottish team.
【4】What's the author’s attitude towards the finding of CNFS?
A.Positive B.Casual
C.Defensive D.Suspicious.
23、 You’ve got to get an early start tomorrow, but you’re not sleepy yet. Blame your brain, at least in part. Yet that same brain is still under construction. And much of that important work takes place while you sleep. Here’s what’s happening and why it matters.
Today’s lifestyle is one reason for late bedtimes. Many teens don’t finish with after-school activities, part-time jobs, dinner, and homework until 10 p.m. or later. Add in some time for relaxing, especially time for screens, and bedtime may not roll around until 11 p.m. or nearly midnight. In response, the brain cuts back melatonin（褪黑素）, a hormone that promotes sleep. Even without modern technology, though, teens change their daily cycle for sleeping, waking, and various other activities.
The rest of the world doesn’t change, however. So most teens must head to school before they’ve gotten the 8.5 to 9. 5 hours of sleep recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. And that’s a serious public health problem. For one thing, lack of sleep makes it harder to pay attention. When studies compared teens who had earlier and later school start times, they found that those who had more time to sleep did better in class. They also suffered fewer accidents in sports, driving, and other activities. Lack of sleep could also hurt mental health. Studies have found an inverse correlation（负相关）between teens’ amount of sleep and depression and other mental illnesses. As sleep time went down, the risks for the mental illnesses went up. Beyond that, teens lacking in sleep report more relationship problems and feelings of inadequacy.
Lots of issues remain for sleep researchers to explore. For now, though, studies are clear：Teens’ brains need sleep.
【1】Teen’s lifestyle today most likely leads to _______.
A.the change of daily cycle
B.the rise of melatonin release
C.the growth of relaxing time
D.the decrease of technology use
【2】With the amount of sleep decreasing, teens may experience _______.
A.poorer concentration B.lower illness risk
C.stronger relationship D.greater emotional change
【3】The author probably supports the idea that _______.
A.sleep issues are extremely hard to solve
B.school time is generally impossible to adjust
C.enough sleep is clearly beneficial to teens’ health
D.the brain is chiefly responsible for teens’ sleep problems
24、Once upon a time, a hippo(河马) lived in a river next to a big tree.
One day, a bird came and nested(筑巢) in the tree. The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy(羡慕) that he couldn’t think of anything else. Every day he would think why he wasn’t born to be a bird even though the bird told him many times he was so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer.
Finally, the hippo made up his mind that he would come out of the river, climb the tree and start singing. However, when he tried to climb the tree, it was very clear that the hippo didn’t have wings, nor claws to climb with.
Realizing that he would never climb up the tree, he angrily hit the tree until it came crashing to the ground. Then he stepped onto the leaves of the fallen tree, and began singing.
Unfortunately, hippos can’t sing, either. All that came from his mouth were terrible noises, and when the other animals heard this, they all came around to make fun of the hippo.
He was so ashamed by this. He also felt bad about having knocked the tree over. He used all his strength to raise the tree back up again, and looked after it until it completely recovered.

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。
Paul and I were on our school basketball team, The Lions. We loved basketball and were both huge fans of the NBA. When we weren’t playing on the court, we were watching a game on TV. My favourite player was LeBron James. Paul’s favourite player was Tyrone Bogues, a guy who played for the Charlotte Hornets, although we actually agree that they are both champions.
Bogues was only 1.6 metres tall, which made him the shortest player ever in the NBA. Guess what? Paul was only 1.6 metres tall, too! Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more. During all those hours of doing jump shots on his own, he used Bogues as his inspiration. Paul once said, “If Bogues could make it, why not me?” Our coach was not so sure. Paul had to try out many times just for making the team. He was still usually on the bench, being just a replacement, which was really tough on him. I knew Paul had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team. However, Paul didn’t get a chance.
Then came the big day. We were playing our main competitors, The Bears, a team whose record of this season had been perfect. They hadn’t lost a single game. Despite our best efforts, we were still 10 points behind The Bears. Without much time left, the last quarter began. Unfortunately, our team members got injured one after another.
All hope fell on me. Unfortunately, a player and I crashed into each other. With pain racing through my body, my knee hurt badly. The team gathered around, looking worried. The doctor put an ice pack on my knee, but it was still painful. Obviously, I could not play any more. The coach gave a deep sigh and murmured in a low voice, “We have no more players”.
注意：1.续写词数应为 150 左右;

“I think I can give it a try,” a determined voice came from the crowd.
