21、I’d been asked to go to an editor’s office with the old program “We have a story we think you’d be perfect for”. Here was the topic: We want you to write about how middle-aged men have no friends. Seeing that, I couldn’t help thinking, “Excuse me? I have plenty of friends.” Then the editor told me there were all sorts of evidence out there to show how men, as they age, let their close friendships go, and that the fact can cause all sorts of problems and have a terrible impact on their health.

As I walked back to my desk in the newsroom--a distance of maybe 100 yards--I quickly search for my friend list. First of all, there was my friend Mark. Wait, how often do we actually hang out? Maybe four or five times a year? And then there was another best friend from high school, Rory, and. . . I actually could not remember the last time I’d seen him.

There were all those other good friends who seemed as if they’re still in my life because we follow one another via social media, but as I ran down the list of those I considered real, true, lifelong friends, I realized that it had been years since I saw many of them, even decades for a few.

By the time I got back to my desk, I realized that I was indeed perfect for this story, not because I was unusual in any way, but because my story was very, very typical. And as I looked into what that means, I realized that in the long term, I was heading down a path that was very, very dangerous. And I knew I needed a change.

【1】What was the author’s first reaction to the topic?

A．He thought it was perfect for him.

B．He knew the editor was joking.

C．He felt surprised and doubtful.

D．He showed an interest in it.

【2】Why did the editor choose this topic?

A．To solve health problems.

B．To change a dangerous path.

C．To attach importance to friendship.

D．To prove the author’s writing ability.

【3】What did the author reflect on after walking back to the newsroom?

A．He realized the topic worth writing.

B．He wasn’t popular with others.

C．He had close friends in his life.

D．He didn’t make any true friends.

【4】How did the author keep friendship with his friends?

A．Through letters.

B．Through the Internet.

C．By phoning each other.

D．By partying regularly.

22、A recent study suggests that when it comes to the benefits of reading, just doing it matters more than the content. Researchers have found that reading novels helps the brain development in understanding others and imagining the world. They also have found that people who spend a few hours per week reading books live longer than those who don’t read.

But how to build a habit of reading? Like any habit, the trick is in figuring out what suits you. The hardest part about reading is actually picking up a book. You have to sit down, pick up a book and start reading. “I always have a book next to wherever I put my phone,” My friend Jimmy once told me. “So if I want to check my phone, I physically can see the book there. Nine times out of ten. I end up reading the book instead of using my phone for nothing.”

Another challenge is time, and in that case, audiobooks(有声书) can be a good choice. Audiobooks are great for filling the mind while you’re on the way to work, washing dishes or working out at the gym.

If you’re still stuck on the way to developing a reading habit, the best way is to revisit your old favorite books to get your youthful reading pleasure. You should free yourself from the opinion that only important or educational books are worth reading. There’s no shame in rereading the books that made you fall in love with reading in the first place. Restarting the practice of reading is a little like picking up painting. It takes some work to get into the best state, but once you begin, the results are beautiful and satisfying.

【1】What is the most difficult part in forming the reading habit?

A．Getting reading skills.

B．Finding a great book.

C．Having limited time.

D．Getting reading started.

【2】What is the advantage of audiobooks according to the text?

A．They are time saving.

B．They provide more pleasure.

C．They aid brain development.

D．They offer more book choices.

【3】Why is rereading old favourite books a good idea?

A．It helps restart reading.

B．It is of great convenience

C．It improves the taste for art.

D．It can increase your patience.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．Method of killing free time

B．Advantages of using audiobooks

C．Way to choose educational books

D．Tips on developing a reading habit

23、Sometimes boys and girls find it really hard to properly deal with the relationship with people of the opposite sex. 【1】

Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls.【2】 We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep in contact with the other sex in public instead of in secret.

【3】 If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out.【4】 As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.

Don’t fall into early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) are rich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is full ripe.【5】 Do keep out of early love.

A. First of all, you can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you.

B. Of course, there are also some special schools and classes that include only boys or girls.

C. If you have problems of this kind, here are some “dos and don’ts” for you to follow.

D. It is very natural for the boys and girls to make friends with each other.

E. As a result, early love should be forbidden by all the teachers and parents.

F. Don’t be too nervous or too shy.

G. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love.

24、New App Helps People Remember Faces

Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming. Pressure to learn people’s names only adds to the stress. A new facial-recognition app could come to the rescue, but privacy experts recommend proceeding with caution.

The app, called SocialRecall, connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition, potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions. “It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody,” says Barry Sandrew, who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1,000 people.

After receiving an invitation to download SocialRecall from an event organizer, the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media. At the event, the app is active within a previously defined geographical area. When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee’s face, the app identifies the individual, displays the person’s name, and links to his or her social media profile. To protect privacy, it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate. And the app's creators say it automatically deletes users’ data after an event.

Ann Cavoukian, a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app’s creators for these protective measures. She cautions, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that “there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you.”

The start-up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia, or “face blindness,” a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met. To use this app, a person first acquires an image of someone’s face, from either the smartphone’s camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots that same face in real life, the previously entered information is displayed. The collected data are stored only on a user’s phone, according to the team behind the app.

【1】SocialRecall is used to ________.

A．take photos

B．identify people

C．organize events

D．make friends

【2】Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.

A．how the app works

B．how the app was created

C．what makes the app popular

D．what people can do with the app

【3】SocialRecall helps people with prosopagnosia by ________.

A．giving names to the photos kept in their smartphones

B．collecting information previously entered in the phone

C．providing the information of a person when they first meet

D．showing the person’s information when it spots a stored face

【4】What can we learn about SocialRecall from the passage?

A．It may put people’s privacy at risk.

B．It has caused unintended consequences.

C．It can prevent some communication disorders.

D．It is praised by users for its protective measures.

25、A meadow in bloom（鲜花盛开的草甸）cannot be more appealing for British. The swinging wild flowers at their peak show essence（精髓）of the season and are perfect for recording with your video camera. But that is a thing of the past.
