25、

Dear Mike,

I have been so worried these days. I think performing onstage is the only way I can become more popular at school. But I have stage fright (怯场). I get so nervous every time I get onstage, even if I’m just talking about the simplest things. My nervousness destroys my hope. I feel like I will never be popular at school. What should I do?

Miracle

Dear Miracle,

Firstly, it is natural to feel nervous onstage. My suggestion would be to do a calming activity, such as drinking tea, taking a deep breath, listening to some light music or meditating (冥想), before you perform.

However, I have to wonder if performing is the only way for you to become more popular. Perhaps you can do something else to impress (使……印象深刻) your classmates. Everyone is good at something.

But finally, I also wonder if you really need to be more popular in the first place. Do you have at least a few close friends? Are your studies going well? Are you healthy? If so, maybe you don’t need to care so much about being popular. Not everyone is going to like you all the time. But as long as you have a few close friends and a family to support you, you won’t need all those other people.

Mike

【1】Why does Miracle feel worried?

A．She cannot get on well with others.

B．She is too popular at school.

C．She has trouble talking onstage.

D．She has difficulty with her schoolwork.

【2】What does the underlined word “destroy” in the first letter?

A．偷窃

B．顶替

C．忽略

D．摧毁

【3】What advice does Mike give to Miracle?

A．She can listen to some rock music to cheer herself up before performing.

B．She doesn’t need to be popular if she has some close friends and a family to support her.

C．She can ask others to drink tea together if she wants to calm down.

D．She has to try her best in order to be liked by everyone in her school.

26、Do you think stones can move by themselves? There are some famous moving stones in Death Valley, the US. Many of the stones are small but a few of them are very big. Some of the big stones are as big as a man. The biggest stone weighs about 350 kg.

The stones only move at night. Nobody has ever seen them moving, but now scientists know the answer to the question. The answer is the wind. When the wind comes from the west, the stones move to the east. When the wind is from the north, they always move to the south. But how can the wind move a very heavy stone?

Death Valley is one of the hottest places in the world, but it can be very cold at night. Sometimes, there are even bad storms（风暴）at night. Rain falls, and the wind is strong and cold. The water on the ground turns into ice easily. Then the strong wind can move the stones along the flat（平坦的）ground. In the morning, the sun comes up and dries the ground. So people can find them move from one place to another in the daytime.

【1】When do the stones move in the Death Valley?

A．At night.

B．During the day.

C．All the day.

D．Nobody knows.

【2】If the wind comes from the northwest, the stones move to the________.

A．west

B．east

C．southeast

D．northwest

【3】Which of the following is TRUE in the passage?

A．All stones in Death Valley are as big as a man.

B．At night, the strong wind can move the stones along the flat ground.

C．In Death Valley, it is hot during the day and at night.

D．The wind always comes from the west and the north.

27、Many of us have a certain pose for photos, but have you ever noticed which side you naturally turn?

According to US science writer Sam Kean, people tend to turn to the right and show the left side of their faces.

That might be because the left side of our faces looks better than our right side. This may have something to do with our brain. The right side of the brain, which controls the left side of the body, deals more with emotions. So the left half of faces are often more expressive(富有表现力的), The Atlantic reported.

During studies, it is found that more than 60 percent of famous paintings since the 14th century showed people’s left side of the face.

But when it comes to self-portraits, artists have traditionally drawn themselves from the right.

Yet this doesn’t mean the left side phenomenon(现象) is wrong. As Professor Marco Bertamini from Liverpool University explained, self-portraits are usually painted through a mirror. For example, if an artist shows his left side to a mirror, and draws what he can see, the final picture on the paper would show the head facing to the right.

The front-facing camera on smart phones works the same way as a mirror. When people take selfies(自拍照) using a front-facing camera, most of them take a photo with their head facing to the right.

“Our results show that a preference(偏爱) for self-portraits showing one’s left side, even if this appears as a right face in the mirror-reversed(反转的)display,”Bertamini told The Guardian.

Next time, when you take a photo, remember to show your better side to the camera.

【1】Why do people like to show the left side of their faces for photos?

A. It’s much easier for us to make a pose.   B. It makes people look more natural on photos.

C. The left side of our faces looks better.   D. The left side of our faces look friendlier.

【2】From Paragraph 3, we learn that __________.

A. the right side of the brain controls the right side of our faces

B. the right side of the brain deals with our emotions

C. the right side of our faces looks more expressive

D. our brain decides whether we look good or not

【3】Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Artists usually draw themselves from the left.

B. There is also the left side phenomenon in self-portraits.

C. The front-facing camera on smart phones doesn’t take good photos.

D. Bertamini tells people how to take better selfies.

【4】What does the article mainly talk about?

A. Where to take good photos.   B. How the left side of the brain works.

C. How to draw yourself better.   D. Why we show off the left side of our faces in photos.

28、请认真阅读下面短文,并根据各题所给首字母的提示,写出一个合适的英语单词完整、正确的形式,使短文通顺。

Many Chinese people go abroad to travel, to study, and even to live on their own. People should learn about the cultures they visit because some of the cultures are very d【1】from ours. If you know them and understand them, it will help you a lot.

Talking about the weather and sports is a good way to s【2】 a conversation. But when you talk to westerners, you shouldn't ask their age because it is not p【3】. Also, you should not ask about how much money they make every month, not even with someone you know well. In p【4】 places like museums and libraries, you shouldn't eat or drink when others are q【5】 looking at art works or reading books. When you visit a western country and you want to give someone a small g【6】 or flowers, be careful to choose the right c【7】 of flowers. This is because in some countries white flowers are for the dead.  When you receive a gift from someone, r【8】 to write a thank you note to express your thankfulness. Using polite language will never be w【9】.

The most important thing to remember is that wherever you are, respect the local c【10】. It may not be the same as the one in your home country, but you should try your best to learn about it and respect it.
