26、Have you ever taken a selfie (自拍照) and thought, “Why do I look so weird (奇怪的)?” The reason may be because photos show us the reverse (相反) of what we see in the mirror. When we take a photo of ourselves using the front-facing camera on a phone, the resulting image captures our face as others see it. This can be a little weird because our faces are not perfectly symmetrical, and certain features don’t line up in photos the same way they do in the mirror.
In addition to the reverse image issue, our tendency to like what we’re familiar with also plays a role. We are most familiar with our faces as we see them in the mirror, so we come to prefer that mirror image. According to the mere exposure theory, repeatedly encountering something makes us like it more. When we look at ourselves in the mirror, we tend to focus on what we consider our good side, or the angle that seems most attractive to us.
“You have that familiarity, which breeds liking. You’ve established a preference for that look of your face,” said Pamela Rutledge, director of the Media Psychology Research Center.
New York-based photographer Michael Levy expanded on Rutledge’s point. He noted that when we look at ourselves in the mirror, we tend to focus on what we consider our good side — that is, the angle that seems most attractive to us.
Furthermore, when we see our faces in the mirror, we are looking at ourselves in motion, as opposed to completely still in a photo. We tend to notice a lot more details in a still photo, and different camera lenses and a person’s distance to the camera can also change the way people look in photos.
But ultimately, the way we appear in photos is the way we look to the rest of the world, and studies have shown that other people generally like the version of us they see, as opposed to the image we see of ourselves. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. So go forth and selfie.
【1】Why do people sometimes appear “weird” in selfies, according to the article?
A．Because selfies are often taken in bad lighting.
B．Because they are not standing at the correct angle.
C．Because selfies show a reversed image of the face.

【2】According to the article, what is the mere exposure theory?
A．A theory about how people like what they see in the mirror.
B．A theory about how people prefer certain angles in photographs.
C．A theory about how people tend to focus on details in still photographs.
D．A theory about how repeated exposure to something makes people like it more.
【3】What is the purpose of the text?
A．To provide tips for better selfies.
B．To Promoting self-acceptance in photos.
C．To explain differences in appearance between photos and mirrors.
D．To explore factors behind preference for mirror images over photo images.
【4】How does the author support his explanations for the phenomenon of why we look different in selfies and mirrors?

27、“She got a beautiful eye, walk in a line, smile with her type; She knows all about life, never ask why, driving everyone crazy, crazy...” Everyone is surprised that this original song, She, which has so far topped more than 10 million views on the Internet was produced by a 15-year-old girl in only 30 minutes.
Zhang Yuxuan is better known as Vicky Xuanxuan on social media. “I have never thought the song She would be so popular,” Zhang, a middle school student at an arts school, majoring in violin, said. “A melody (旋律) suddenly jumped out of my head when I was having a math class. I quickly wrote a few words and melody on my notebook, and after class, I rushed home and took less than half an hour to finish it,” Zhang added. She has become one of the most popular music bloggers on the platform and has attracted 42, 6 00 followers.
Zhang fell in love with English songs when she was a primary student. She registered on the Internet when she was 13 years old and in 2019, she posted her first original song December Composer. “So far, I have produced 26 songs and there are dozens of songs that have not been released,” she said. She also invited Allie Sherlock, a famous Irish teen singer and online celebrity, with 4.47 million fans, to sing Dance Monkey together, which also helped her earn a lot of fans.
After being so popular, Zhang felt a bit of stressed and she cares more about the quality of her work. She has received many invitations to music and variety shows but she has wisely (明智地) refused them. She said she still needs to put study first and only spends her time off to produce music. Zhang said her dream is to go to one of the world’s top music schools like the Berklee College of Music in Boston. “I still have a lot to learn including my main subjects like English skills and composition. I hope I can become a songwriter and work with the musicians I like,” she said.

28、Shundagarh is a village on India’s east-facing coast. It is a village of simple mud and grass houses built on the beach just above the waterline. The Khadra Hills rise immediately behind the village, to a height of one hundred and fifty meters. A simple, good-hearted old man, whose name was Jalpur, farmed two small fields on the very edge of these hills. From his fields he could see the fishing boats that traveled up and down the coast. He could see the children playing on the sands; their mothers washing clothes on the flat stones where the Shiva River flowed into the sea; and their fathers landing the latest catch or repairing nets and telling stories that had no end.
All Jalpur owned in the world were the clothes he wore day in and day out, the miserable(蹩脚的) hut that he slept in at night, a few tools and cooking pots – and his fields. The corn that he grew was all that made life possible. If the weather was kind and the harvest was good, Jalpur could live happily enough – not well, but happily. When the sun was fierce, and there was little or no rain, then he came close to the line between life and death.
Last year the weather had been so kind, and the harvest promised to be so good, that Jalpur had been wondering whether he could sell all that he had and live with his son farther up the coast. He had been thinking about doing this for some years. It was his dearest wish to spend his last days with his son and his wife. But he would go only if he could give; he would not go if it meant taking food out of the mouths of his grandchildren. He would rather die hungry than do this.
On the day when Jalpur decided that he would harvest his corn, sell it, and move up the coast, he looked out to the sea and saw a huge wave, several kilometers out, advancing on the coast and on the village of Shundagarh. Within ten minutes everyone in Shundagarh would be drowned. Jalpur would have shouted, but the people were too far away to hear. He would have run down the hill, but he was too old to run. He was prepared to do anything to save the people of Shundagarh, so he did the only thing that he could do: he set fire to his corn. In a matter of seconds the flames were rising high and smoke was rising higher. Within a minute the people of Shundagarh were racing up the hill to see what had happened. There, in the middle of his blackened cornfield, they found Jalpur; and there they buried him.
On his grave, they wrote the words: Here lies Jalpur, a man who gave, living; a man who died, giving.
【1】Which of the following could Jalpur NOT see from his fields?
A. Fathers taking their corn to market.
B Mothers washing clothes.

【2】Why didn’t Jalpur live well?
A. He didn’t work hard.
B. He had too many children to feed.
C. The villagers kept taking his corn.
D. He only depended on good weather and harvest for survival.
【3】 What did Jalpur do when he saw the huge wave?
A. He ran down the hill to tell the people.
B. He screamed loudly to get the villagers’ attention.
C. He set his corn on fire so the people of Shundagarh would leave the beach.
D. He stood still, not knowing what to do.
【4】The villagers were thankful to Jalpur because he had .
A. given them his corn in order to save them from hunger
B. saved their village from being drowned by the wave
C. given them many things during his life
D. given his life in order to save theirs
29、Some whales are loud. Really, really loud. Their calls are strong enough to pass through rock beneath the seafloor, a new study finds. And the echoes (回声) of those songs bouncing off the rocks can help reveal the structure of the seafloor. Two scientists reported their findings in Science recently.
Seismologists (地震学家) Václav Kuna and John Nábělek are interested in the structure of the rock layers beneath the seafloor. The two used a network of 54 ocean-bottom seismometers in the northeast Pacific Ocean. These instruments detect waves that travel through the ground, such as those caused by earthquakes. It turns out that they can also pick up songs from a passing whale.
Underwater sounds can produce seismic echoes. When sound waves traveling through the water meet the ground, some of the waves energy changes into a seismic wave. Those seismic waves can help scientists “see” underground as they bounce off different rock layers. The way they bounce can help researchers estimate the thickness of the layers.
Kuna and Nábělek’s seismometers picked up the sound waves of a whale’s six songs, which lasted from 2.5 to 4.9 hours. Echoes from the “singer” showed the researchers that its sound waves had passed through layers of underlying rock. They revealed structural details of rock layers beneath three sites over which the whale had been singing.
The new data suggest whale songs can be effective tools to study the seafloor. Large ships may perform seismic surveys using air guns. These instruments make very loud noises that can travel long distances. But their noise can also disturb ocean life-especially the behaviors of animals that rely on sound to hunt or communicate.

32、 A natural disaster is a major harmful event resulting from natural processes of the Earth. In recent years, owing to either cyclical (循环的) changes or human activities, there has been a rise in natural disasters. Earthquakes, typhoons, floods and hurricanes have caused a lot of deaths around the world. On the one hand, natural disasters always bring great sadness to people, but on the other hand, natural disasters make people fully aware of the mistakes of themselves and begin to rethink what they have done. A natural disaster can cause loss of life or property damage, and typically leave some economic damage in its wake, the severity of which depends on the stricken population’s ability to recover.
Take the typhoon which hit Japan this summer as an example. This September Super Typhoon Chebi (飞燕) visited Japan, causing dozens of deaths, more than 600 injuries and losses worth countless dollars. Bridges and roads were washed away, houses and buildings damaged, leaving many people homeless. Furthermore, tens of thousands of visitors were forced to stay in the airport. Although the government of Japan had taken some precautions, the typhoon did bring much trouble to people there.
