When I was younger, I was addicted to reading. I could get through a whole book in a day, and used to beg my parents every night to let me stay up late so that I could just finish my chapter. From fairy-tales to thrillers, non-fiction to plays, I enjoyed reading any literature that I could get my hands on.
However, while there are many books for younger children, once you reach your mid-teens the choices become limited. I found myself choosing between books for children that were simple and not that interesting, and adult books that I couldn’t quite understand.
This lack of choice eventually led me to read less and less. When I was in secondary school, the only books I read were ones we were assigned in English class, and I was never very enthusiastic about my teacher’s choices. I thought too much discussion of symbolism and themes ruined the book. Maybe the sky being blue didn’t represent anything; maybe it was just a description!
Fortunately, I realized quickly that deciding to go to university meant I had signed up for four years of reading books. I chose a French literature module in my first year. I started out, thinking I wouldn’t enjoy any of the works we were studying over the course of the year. However, I soon realized that at a university level, the discussion was more fruitful and I found I had a lot to say! And being able to discuss my thoughts with others meant I could better understand the subtle aspects of the plot: yes, even the symbolism and themes.
I began reading again for pleasure, starting with Malcolm X’s autobiography and never looking back. Now, during my year abroad, I spend a lot of my spare time in bookshops and reading in cafes. I’m so happy that I rediscovered my love of books.
24. What does the author intend to say in Paragraph 1
A. She used to stay up late at night.
B. She read very fast as a young girl.
C. She loved reading very much in her childhood.
D. She once bought many different kinds of books.
25. Why did the author read less when she was a teenager
A. She found very few suitable books to read. B. She was too busy with her schoolwork.
C. She had no right to choose books herself. D. She was really tired of reading books.
26. What made the author start reading for pleasure again
A. Her reading experiences at university. B. A book by Malcolm X.
C. A special bookstore abroad. D. Her professor of French literature.
27. What’s the text mainly about
A. The importance of discussing a book’s theme. B. The author’s desire to read widely.
C. The ways to form good reading habits. D. The process of the author picking up reading.
C
People like to post their selfies(自拍照) on social media. To know more about it, scientists at Syracuse University in New York recently did a research and came up with some surprising findings.
People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behavior connected to narcissism(自恋), the researchers said. Makana Chock, a professor from Syracuse University, said because social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives, it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own vanity.” Those “likes” under their Facebook selfies make them feel good.
Besides, people who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the research found. Some people feel “peer(同伴) pressure” to post selfies and some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience, it did not really happen. “Anyway, it shouldn’t be seen as negative. People get sense of satisfaction especially when they get likes. And it does no harm,” Chock said.
Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software. But men who post selfies showed more of a need to be seen as popular than women who posted selfies.
Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips and special events, our parents and grandparents used cameras instead of phones to take photos. They would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your comments. That was the old way of “clicking like”. On social media, however, people can decide not to look at photos — even if they click “like”.
28.What is the research mainly about
A. How to get “likes” for the selfies.
B. The ways of making people look better in selfies.
C. The reasons for people posting selfies on social media.
D. The differences between men and women in posting selfies.
29.What does the word “vanity” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. A deep desire to know about something.
B. Too much pride in one’s own appearance.
C. A special need to be more popular.
D. Strong determination to improve oneself.
30. From the passage, we know that __________.
A. Only if they get enough “likes”, the people who post their selfies will be satisfied.
B. Some people post selfies because their friends do that.
C. Women use editing software more often than men.
D. Our parents and grandparents used the social in the same way as us.
31. When looking at your friends’ selfies on your phone, ________
A. you don’t need to go through all of them.
B. you have no choice but to click “like”.
C. you can share them with your families.
D. you’d better comment on everyone.
D
New research has found that grey seals can simulate(模仿) human speech and songs. The study carried out by Dr Amanda Stansbury and Professor Vincent Janik, at the University of St Andrews, found that grey seals use the same sound production system as humans due to having similar vocal tracts(声道).
Three young grey seals—Zola, Gandalf and Janice—were monitored from birth by Stansbury and Janik to determine their natural talents. Once this process was complete, the researchers began teaching the seals to simulate common seal sounds or noises a seal might normally hear from a herd mate in the wild. Fish was used to encourage the seals to come out of the water and sing a series of notes. Stansbury would record the seals’ own sounds and play them back. The seals quickly learnt that if they sang back the same notes, they would be rewarded with fish.
Once the seals were familiar with this process and could easily copy these basic sounds, Stansbury and Janik used higher and longer tones(音调)and unfamiliar vowels(元音)from human speech. The seals were then rewarded for matching these new sounds. Stansbury even used some combinations to simulate songs that no seal would be expected to produce under natural circumstances. Zola had a gift for copying up to ten notes of songs such as Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and the theme song of Star Wars. Gandalf and Janice were better at accurately reproducing combinations of human vowel sounds.
Stansbury said, “I was amazed how well the seals copied the model sounds we played to them. Copies were not perfect, but given that these are not typical seal sounds, it is pretty impressive. Our study really shows how flexible seal voices are.”
After one year of working with the researchers, the seal pups were released back into the wild. “This study gives us a better understanding of the development of vocal learning, a skill that is important for human language development.” Janik believes this knowledge can help to develop new methods to study speech problems.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. A research finding on grey seals. B. Grey seals’ learning environments.
C. Humans’ sound production system. D. A comparison of humans and grey seals.
33. In the study, fish would be given when the seals .
A. made funny noises B. came out of the water
C. repeated the same notes D. copied typical fish sounds
34. What can we find about Zola based on the research
A. It can copy some musical sounds played to her.
B. It is good at copying human vowel sounds.
C. It is smarter than Gandalf and Janice.
D. It likes singing children’s songs.
35. What does Janik think of the research result
A. It shows the living environments of grey seals.
B. It leads to a better understanding of human evolution.
C. It raises an awareness of the need to protect grey seals.
D. It inspires new methods for research on speech problems.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What should you think about in trying to find your career(职业) You are probably better at some
school subjects than others. 36 . A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering
career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to do well
at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records
show a general good result. 37 . Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is
one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can
be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cooking and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
38 . You may have learned how to get to work on time and get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a certain industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
39 . You may be all thumbs when you deal with tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not feel sorry for it. 40 .
A. This does not have direct value for future job hunting.
B. These may show strengths that you can use in your work.

D. Having a part-time job is a good way to find out your weak points.

The View from the Slow Lane(车道)
As we pulled into the driveway, I noticed that something seemed different about my mom. She was 41 away from me, her shoulders dropped and her hands relaxed. I parked the car and she turned toward me.
“Okay, we’re home,” I said, 42 that now was her time to get out and let me be on my own. She sniffled (抽鼻子) and 43 her hair behind her ears to show her tearful eyes and moist cheeks. She had been crying.
“Mom! Why are you crying ” I asked, even though I already knew the 44 .
I had just got my 45 which I’d been looking forward to for months. I was free-able to drive myself where I needed to go and drive too fast on the back roads. Now I had it in my pocket, but I suddenly felt 46 that I had been so quick to grow up, completely 47 the emotions that my mom must be experiencing with her firstborn nearing adulthood. “My baby boy is growing up too fast,” she managed to say between deep breaths. My heart 48 . I hated it that I had been so ignorant toward her feelings. I had been counting down the days, 49 waiting to enter the next stage of my life, 50 she counted down with fear and headache. The delight and freedom I had previously felt were gone, 51 by an odd sense of sorrow.
We hugged. A nice long hug that was 52 in my family. Then she looked at me in the eye and told me to drive carefully. “Of course I will,” I reassured her. I waved goodbye and 53 of the driveway.
On my way to meet my friends, 54 the fast-paced ride, I went the speed limit and took my 55 not just for my mom, but for me.
I used to be so 56 to start speeding that I’d forgotten just how beautiful the ride is. Now I cruised (漫游) down the peaceful two-lane road, 57 the sights, sounds, and smells of the nature that surrounds me. At that moment I made a 58 to myself that I would take things slow and never, ever, catch myself speeding again.
Life had passed me by while I lived my days in fast forward, 59 to notice all the beautiful things along the way. It seems life also has its own daily routine and if you find yourself going too fast, you risk missing the 60 that make it so special.
