When you think of the Arctic, you imagine an icy land of pure white snow. Others imagine it as the last really clean place left on earth. We have polluted the deepest oceans with plastic rubbish. “And now”, CNN says, “It's the Arctic's turn.”
German scientists have recently found microplastics (微塑料) in Arctic snow. Microplastics are pieces of plastic smaller than 5 millimeters. Sadly, the scientists found 1800 pieces of microplastics per liter of snow.
How is plastic pollution reaching the Arctic According to scientists, “It's clear that most of the microplastics in the snow come from the air.” They fall off the plastic objects and are moved by the wind, just like dust. They mix with ice in the air and fall to the ground as snow. Finding these plastics in Arctic snow means that we may breathe them in.
Are they bad for us Scientists cannot answer this question for now, according to the WHO. We do know that our bodies cannot take in “large” pieces of microplastics. However, if the plastics are small enough, they can find ways into our bodies and stay there for a long time, which can be bad for our health. What's more, earlier studies have shown that microplastics may contribute to lung cancer risk.
Microplastics have also been found in rivers and oceans around the world. Earlier research has found that they flow over long distances and into our oceans, hurting ecosystems along the way. They start in our wastewater, then flow into rivers and out to the sea, where they are eaten by sea animals. If people then eat these animals, it means that we're eating the plastic as well.
4 What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A. The Arctic has been polluted by plastic rubbish
B. The Arctic is an icy land of pure white snow.
C. The Arctic is a beautiful icy land with clean air.
D. The Arctic is the last rally clean place left on earth
5. Where do most of the microplatics in the snow come from
A. From water. B. From air. C. From wind. D. From food.
6. What does the underlined expression mean in the fourth paragraph
A. Reduce. B. Donate. C. Cause. D. Help.
7. How does the writer end this passage
A. By advising us to drink clean water.
B. By asking people not to eat sea animals.
C. By showing the beauty of Arctic.
D. By telling the seriousness of plastic pollution.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述极地地区的塑料污染的成因及其所造成的严重后果。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“We have polluted the deepest oceans with plastic rubbish.(我们已经用塑料垃圾把海洋污染了)”和“And now, CNN says, It's the Arctic's turn. (CNN说道：现在轮到北极了)”可知，塑料垃圾已经到了北极地区。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句“How is plastic pollution reaching the Arctic (塑料污染如何到达北极的？)”可知，此段在讲述北极塑料垃圾形成的原因；第二句“It's clear that most of the microplastics in the snow come from the air. (很明显，大部分微塑料来自于空气)”可知，塑料污染来自于空气传播。故选B项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第四段第一句“Are they bad for us (它们对我们有害吗？)”可知，此段主要论述塑料污染的危害。由此可知，划线词组所在句“What's more, earlier studies have shown that microplastics may contribute to lung cancer risk.”应该在说明其对肺癌风险的加剧作用。由此推知，划线词组与cause意思接近。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第一句“Microplastics have also been found in rivers and oceans around the world.(微塑料已经在全球的河流海洋中被发现)”；第三句“They start in our wastewater, then flow into rivers and out to the sea, where they are eaten by sea animals.(它们始于废水，然后流到河流和海洋，最后被海洋生物吃掉)”和最后一句“If people then eat these animals, it means that we're eating the plastic as well.(如果人类吃掉了这些生物，那就意为这我们也在吃塑料)”可知，类生产了塑料，经过自然循环，又回到人类的身体里，形成了一个循环，最终整个世界都受极大影响。由此可知，作者通过讲述塑料污染的严重性来结束了这篇文章。故选D项。
C
As a teenager, when my family took a vacation, I wrote postcards to show my friends the new places I had explored. I considered postcards as simply a way to share travels until I came across my grandmother’s postcard album.
It was a dark gray leather album, where most of the postcards had pictures that did not reflect a holiday or a travel destination. Instead, the notes were mostly invitations to a dinner party or a walk the next day.
"Why do these postcards ask you to come to tea " I asked my grandmother.
"Because this is how we communicated before we had a telephone," she said. "I would pop a postcard in the morning mail, and a friend would receive it that afternoon. Then she’d post a reply that arrived in my mail the next morning."
I was surprised. Life without a phone sounded like something out of the book Little House on the Prairie. Connecting by postcards seemed as unexpected as using a carrier pigeon.
I had forgotten about my grandmother’s postcards until lockdowns restricted our trips to seeing our three granddaughters. Remembering my grandmother’s album, I bought several sets of cards and every few weeks, I’d write notes and mail them. The girls occasionally responded with brief thankyou texts.
Then one day I opened my mailbox and spied three hand-addressed envelopes. They were from my granddaughters, each thanking me for the postcards. The notes captured their disappointment with the pandemic and how my messages had comforted them.
I had been thinking how my grandmother had accepted the telephone as a new way to keep relationships. Like her, I accepted the girls’ preferred mode of communication and texted my thanks for their letters. Yet, even as the lockdowns end, I will continue to send them postcards because everyone enjoys receiving a real letter in the mail.
8. Why did the author’s grandmother write postcards
A. To share travel experiences. B. To connect with people.
C. To pass the time. D. To show love and care.
9. What did the author think of life without a phone
A. It was strange and hard to imagine. B. It was peaceful.
C. It was exciting. D. It was attractive.
10. How does the author feel when receiving letters
A. Puzzled. B. Regretful. C. Delighted. D. Crazy.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Attraction of Postcards B. New Ways of Communication
C. Love during Lockdowns D. An Old Postcard Album
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了在不同的时期和社会背景下，明信片对于她和祖母的不同的意义。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It was a dark gray leather album, where most of the postcards had pictures that did not reflect a holiday or a travel destination. Instead, the notes were mostly invitations to a dinner party or a walk the next day.(那是一本深灰色的皮革相册，里面的明信片上的照片并没有反映出度假或旅游目的地。相反，这些便条大多是邀请他们参加晚宴或第二天的散步)”可知，祖母写明信片主要是联系朋友，传递信息。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“I was surprised. Life without a phone sounded like something out of Little House on the Prairie. Connecting by postcards seemed as unexpected as using a carrier pigeon.(我很惊讶。没有电话的生活听起来就像《草原小屋》里的故事。用明信片联系就像用信鸽一样出人意料)”可知，作者认为没有手机的生活是不可理解、难以想象的。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Like her, I accepted the girls’ preferred mode of communication and texted my thanks for their letters. (像她一样，我接受了女孩们喜欢的交流方式，并发短信感谢她们的来信)”可知，作者收到孩子们的来信是很开心的。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。这篇围绕postcard展开，从“我”寄明信片和朋友分享旅行经历，到无意中发现祖母的明信片册，得知祖母那个时代人们写明信片不同的意义，再到疫情期间，“我”给孩子们写明信片，“我”和孩子们都获得了不一样的心灵感受。A选项“明信片的吸引力”最符合文章标题。故选A。
D
You may not realize it, but when you stare at your partner's eyes, there's a good chance that you’re looking at a modified reflection of yourself. Researchers have found that people choose partners who tend to be of similar size, shape, and race as themselves ... and they may even have facial features in common.
Take Lot Geels from Amsterdam and her American husband, Brock Mosovsky, for example. “We have similar blonde hair and blue eyes,” says Lot. “Neither of us is very tall. We're both built athletically and we’re both mainly of European origin.
Even if you don't look like your partner you likely share nonphysical characteristics, according to a growing field of research, like education level, socioeconomic status, religion, personality features, and even core values.
Lot and Brock fall into this type as well. “We both have PhDs and work in research,” she says. “We both live an active lifestyle, mainly rock climbing and skiing. Our world views are pretty simi-lar, and we're both hard-working, social and friendly people.”
Researchers have been studying the phenomenon of people with similarities pairing up—known as positive assortative coupling—for decades. If you’re sure that “opposites attract”, you may be surprised by research findings, which prove that like attracts like. However, if you believe that “likes attract”, you probably understand why people surprisingly seek life partners who remind them, on some comforting level, of themselves.
“There's an element of predictability when you date somebody of a similar background,” says Ty Tashiro, the author of The Science of Happily Ever After. “They’re less threatening, less scary. They'll be more of a familiar person from the start. Familiarity is something we find attractive.”
12. What can we infer about Lot and Brock
A. They have the same hair and eyes. B. They both come from wealthy families.
C They are attracted by each other’s similarities. D. They both have the same cultural background.
13. Which of the following is close to the underlined expression “positive assortative”
A. Of the preferred type. B. Of the different type.
C. Of the similar type. D. Of the original type.
14. Why do people try to find similar people as partners according to Ty Tashiro
A. They are comfortable to stay with. B. They are more threatening and scarier.
C. They can develop the same hobbies and interests. D. They have the same status and back ground.
15. What message does the author try to convey
A. Love me, love my dog. B. Birds of a feather flock together.
C. A good wife makes a good husband. D. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了人们在选择伴侣时会倾向于寻找与自己有诸多共同点的人这一现象。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“You may not realize it, but when you stare at your partner's eyes, there's a good chance that you’re looking at a modified reflection of yourself. Researchers have found that people choose partners who tend to be of similar size, shape, and race as themselves ... and they may even have facial features in common.(你可能没有意识到，但当你盯着伴侣的眼睛时，很有可能你看到的是修改过的自己的倒影。研究人员发现，人们选择的伴侣往往与自己的尺码、体型和种族相似……他们甚至可能有共同的面部特征)”；第二段“Take Lot Geels from Amsterdam and her American husband, Brock Mosovsky, for example. “We have similar blonde hair and blue eyes,” says Lot. “Neither of us is very tall. We're both built athletically and we’re both mainly of European origin.(以阿姆斯特丹的Lot Geels和她的美国丈夫Brock Mosovsky为例。“我们有相似的金发和蓝眼睛，” Lot说， “我们两个都不是很高。我们都是运动员，我们都是欧洲血统)”可推知，Lot和Brock这对夫妇是因为彼此的相似之处而被相互吸引的。故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Researchers have been studying the phenomenon of people with similarities pairing up”（几十年来，研究人员一直在研究相似人配对的现象，）即积极选型配对。故positive assortative coupling即是指的similarities pairing up，画线词意思是“相似类型的”。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“They’re less threatening, less scary. They'll be more of a familiar person from the start. Familiarity is something we find attractive.(它们没有那么可怕，那么吓人。从一开始他们就会更熟悉。 熟悉是我们觉得有吸引力的东西)”可知，人们会试图寻找相似的人作为伴侣是因为和他们在一起很舒服。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“You may not realize it, but when you stare at your partner's eyes, there's a good chance that you’re looking at a modified reflection of yourself. Researchers have found that people choose partners who tend to be of similar size, shape, and race as themselves ... and they may even have facial features in common.(你可能没有意识到，但当你盯着伴侣的眼睛时，很有可能你看到的是修改过的自己的倒影。研究人员发现，人们选择的伴侣往往与自己的尺码、体型和种族相似……他们甚至可能有共同的面部特征)”结合文章说明了人们在选择伴侣时会倾向于寻找与自己有诸多共同点的人这一现象。可推知，作者想要传达的信息是“物以类聚，人以群分”。故选B。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
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。
Has this ever happened to you You’re exhausted after a long working day, and the only thing you want to do is throw yourself on the bed and black out. ___16___! Instead, you’re tossing and turning with your mind occupied with endless thoughts. However tired you’re, sleep keeps escaping from you! The reason for that might be the following seemingly innocent bedtime habits.
Drinking water
It’s true that our body needs to stay hydrated during the day, but stop “watering” it one hour before going to bed, otherwise you'll be certain to make one, or even a couple of trips to the bath-room, which will rudely interrupt your sleep. ___17___
Playing with gadgets
Cut down on your screen time before falling asleep. Not only do gadgets over-stimulate your brain, making it restless, but their screens also give off that disturbing blue light. This light stops your body’s sleep hormone and changes your internal clock. ___18___. Of course, you can choose a special night mode on your devices to solve the problem, but the best solution is to power down all hand-held screens an hour before sleeping.
___19___
It's believed that eating a lot before going to bed can cause nightmares. By eating heavy foods for dinner, your brain is encouraged to be more active, which can lead to vivid nightmares. Besides, a hearty dinner disrupts your digestive system and causes problems with your stomach.
___20___. So, try to avoid the bad bedtime habits, and you'll feel more rested and energetic in the morning and during the next day.
A. Eating less at proper time
B. Eating heavily before sleep
C. But unfortunately, you can’t make it
D. Consequently, your brain doesn't believe it's time to go to bed
E. For lack of proper sleep, you can get physically and mentally ill
F. It's not only about the size of the meal but the time when you have it
G. Moreover, most people hardly fall back asleep after getting up at midnight
【答案】16. C 17. G 18. D 19. B 20. E
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了影响睡眠的三个睡前不良习惯——即睡前饮水，睡前玩电子设备和睡前过量饮食。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Has this ever happened to you You’re exhausted after a long working day, and the only thing you want to do is throw yourself on the bed and black out.(你遇到过这种情况吗？在漫长的一天工作之后，你已经筋疲力尽了，你唯一想做的事情就是躺在床上昏睡过去)”以及后文“Instead, you’re tossing and turning with your mind occupied with endless thoughts. However tired you’re, sleep keeps escaping from you! (相反，你辗转反侧，思绪万千。不管你有多累，睡眠总是从你身边溜走！)”可知，上文提到想睡觉，后文提到睡不着，可知本句与上文构成转折关系，故C选项“但不幸的是，你睡不着”符合语境，故选C。
【17题详解】
根据上文“It’s true that our body needs to stay hydrated during the day, but stop “watering” it one hour before going to bed, otherwise you'll be certain to make one, or even a couple of trips to the bath-room, which will rudely interrupt your sleep.(我们的身体在白天确实需要保持水分，但在睡觉前一小时不要“喝太多水”，否则你肯定会去一次，甚至上几次厕所，这将粗暴地打断你的睡眠)”可知，根据上文内容“睡前喝水会导致夜间上厕所从而影响睡眠”可知，此处为递进关系，即“而且大多数人半夜醒后难以入睡”。故G选项“此外，大多数人在午夜起床后很难再睡着”符合语境，故选G。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Cut down on your screen time before falling asleep. Not only do gadgets over-stimulate your brain, making it restless, but their screens also give off that disturbing blue light. This light stops your body’s sleep hormone and changes your internal clock.(睡前减少看屏幕的时间。电子产品不仅会过度刺激你的大脑，让它焦躁不安，它们的屏幕也会发出令人不安的蓝光。这种光线会阻止你身体的睡眠激素，改变你的生物钟)”以及后文“Of course, you can choose a special night mode on your devices to solve the problem, but the best solution is to power down all hand-held screens an hour before sleeping.(当然，你可以选择一种特殊的夜间模式来解决这个问题，但最好的解决办法是在睡觉前一小时关闭所有手持屏幕的电源)”根据该空前内容“睡前使用电子设备会抑制身体的睡眠激素并改变生物钟”，以及后文“解决问题的方法”可知，该空为使用电子设备的后果，即“大脑认为此时还不是睡眠时间”。故D选项“因此，你的大脑不认为是时候睡觉了”符合语境，故选D。
【19题详解】
根据本段内容“It's believed that eating a lot before going to bed can cause nightmares. By eating heavy foods for dinner, your brain is encouraged to be more active, which can lead to vivid nightmares. Besides, a hearty dinner disrupts your digestive system and causes problems with your stomach.(人们认为睡前吃太多会导致噩梦。 晚餐吃油腻的食物会让你的大脑更加活跃，这可能会导致生动的噩梦。此外，一顿丰盛的晚餐会扰乱你的消化系统，导致你的胃出现问题)”故根据整段内容可知，该段描述了“睡前不良习惯——过量饮食”。故B选项“睡前吃太多”符合语境，故选B。
【20题详解】
根据后文“So, try to avoid the bad bedtime habits, and you'll feel more rested and energetic in the morning and during the next day.(所以，尽量避免坏的就寝习惯，你会在早上和第二天感到更有精力和休息)”故从后文内容可知，此处是对整篇文章进行总结，“缺乏足够的睡眠会影响身心健康，所以应避免这些睡前的不良习惯”。故E选项“由于缺乏适当的睡眠，你的身体和精神都会生病”符合语境，故选E。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者朋友的狗病了，作者虽然失去了自己的猫，还是经常会去看望朋友和她的狗。
【详解】1.考查冠词。句意：我有一个老朋友，他的狗病了。friend为可数名词，此处表示泛指，且old发音以元音音素开头，需用不定冠词an限定。故将a改为an。
2.考查名词。句意：我的朋友也有很多健康问题。many修饰可数名词复数形式，problem是可数名词，故将problem改为problems。
3.考查固定短语。句意：在那段时间里，虽然我因为失去了我的猫而感到悲伤，但我担心我的朋友和她的狗，因为她一个人住。due to为固定短语，意为“由于”。故在due后面加to。
4.考查副词。句意：因此，我经常亲自去她家看望她和她的狗。根据上文“她不喜欢通过电话或电子邮件交流。”和下文“我经常亲自去她家看望她和她的狗。”可知，上下文之间是因果关系。故将However改为Therefore/Thus。
5.考查非谓语动词。句意同上。此处需用动词不定式作目的状语，to为动词不定式符号，后面需加动词原形。故将checking改为check。
6.考查动词时态。句意：每次我走近我朋友家，这只狗就会跑出来迎接我。此处陈述过去经常性发生的事情，使用一般过去时。故将approach改为approached。
7.考查连词。句意同上。分析句子结构可知，“Every time I approached my friend's house”是时间状语从句，“the dog would run out to meet me.”是主句，and多余。故将and去掉。
8.考查代词。句意：虽然我花了很长时间到我的朋友的家，我真的很享受与我的朋友和她的狗度过的宝贵时间。It takes sb. some time to do sth.为固定句型，意为“做某事花费某人多长时间”，it为形式主语，不定式为真正主语。故将its改为it。
9.考查形容词。句意同上。修饰名词time，需用形容词作定语。故将previously改为previous。
10.考查虚拟语气。句意：如果我的猫还活着，她也会喜欢的。此处表示对过去事实的虚拟，if引导的条件状语从句使用过去完成时。故将has改为had。

【答案】Dear fellow students.
There is a serious phenomenon in our school. We find many students will crowd in the school store to buy snacks after each class. Some students even eat snacks in class.
Eating snacks is a bad habit and is also a waste of money. In addition, most snacks are unhealthy food, for they contain too much fat and sugar. Eating snacks improperly may lead to fatness and illness. What is worse, some students throw the wrappers everywhere, which pollutes our campus.
Dear fellow students, we shouldn’t act like kids any more. We high school students should develop good habits. Remember that three regular meals a day as well as a balanced diet are essential for us. Let’s form good eating habits and say no to snacks!

When you think of the Arctic, you imagine an icy land of pure white snow. Others imagine it as the last really clean place left on earth. We have polluted the deepest oceans with plastic rubbish. “And now”, CNN says, “It's the Arctic's turn.”
German scientists have recently found microplastics (微塑料) in Arctic snow. Microplastics are pieces of plastic smaller than 5 millimeters. Sadly, the scientists found 1800 pieces of microplastics per liter of snow.
How is plastic pollution reaching the Arctic According to scientists, “It's clear that most of the microplastics in the snow come from the air.” They fall off the plastic objects and are moved by the wind, just like dust. They mix with ice in the air and fall to the ground as snow. Finding these plastics in Arctic snow means that we may breathe them in.
Are they bad for us Scientists cannot answer this question for now, according to the WHO. We do know that our bodies cannot take in “large” pieces of microplastics. However, if the plastics are small enough, they can find ways into our bodies and stay there for a long time, which can be bad for our health. What's more, earlier studies have shown that microplastics may contribute to lung cancer risk.
Microplastics have also been found in rivers and oceans around the world. Earlier research has found that they flow over long distances and into our oceans, hurting ecosystems along the way. They start in our wastewater, then flow into rivers and out to the sea, where they are eaten by sea animals. If people then eat these animals, it means that we're eating the plastic as well.
4. What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A The Arctic has been polluted by plastic rubbish
B. The Arctic is an icy land of pure white snow.
C. The Arctic is a beautiful icy land with clean air.
D. The Arctic is the last rally clean place left on earth
5. Where do most of the microplatics in the snow come from
A. From water. B. From air. C. From wind. D. From food.
6. What does the underlined expression mean in the fourth paragraph
A. Reduce. B. Donate. C. Cause. D. Help.
7. How does the writer end this passage
A. By advising us to drink clean water.
B. By asking people not to eat sea animals.
C. By showing the beauty of Arctic.
D. By telling the seriousness of plastic pollution.
C
As a teenager, when my family took a vacation, I wrote postcards to show my friends the new places I had explored. I considered postcards as simply a way to share travels until I came across my grandmother’s postcard album.
It was a dark gray leather album, where most of the postcards had pictures that did not reflect a holiday or a travel destination. Instead, the notes were mostly invitations to a dinner party or a walk the next day.
"Why do these postcards ask you to come to tea " I asked my grandmother.
"Because this is how we communicated before we had a telephone," she said. "I would pop a postcard in the morning mail, and a friend would receive it that afternoon. Then she’d post a reply that arrived in my mail the next morning."
I was surprised. Life without a phone sounded like something out of the book Little House on the Prairie. Connecting by postcards seemed as unexpected as using a carrier pigeon.
I had forgotten about my grandmother’s postcards until lockdowns restricted our trips to seeing our three granddaughters. Remembering my grandmother’s album, I bought several sets of cards and every few weeks, I’d write notes and mail them. The girls occasionally responded with brief thankyou texts.
Then one day I opened my mailbox and spied three hand-addressed envelopes. They were from my granddaughters, each thanking me for the postcards. The notes captured their disappointment with the pandemic and how my messages had comforted them.
I had been thinking how my grandmother had accepted the telephone as a new way to keep relationships. Like her, I accepted the girls’ preferred mode of communication and texted my thanks for their letters. Yet, even as the lockdowns end, I will continue to send them postcards because everyone enjoys receiving a real letter in the mail.
8. Why did the author’s grandmother write postcards
A. To share travel experiences. B. To connect with people.
C. To pass the time. D. To show love and care.
9. What did the author think of life without a phone
A. It was strange and hard to imagine. B. It was peaceful.
C It was exciting. D. It was attractive.
10 How does the author feel when receiving letters
A. Puzzled. B. Regretful. C. Delighted. D. Crazy.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Attraction of Postcards B. New Ways of Communication
C. Love during Lockdowns D. An Old Postcard Album
D
You may not realize it, but when you stare at your partner's eyes, there's a good chance that you’re looking at a modified reflection of yourself. Researchers have found that people choose partners who tend to be of similar size, shape, and race as themselves ... and they may even have facial features in common.
Take Lot Geels from Amsterdam and her American husband, Brock Mosovsky, for example. “We have similar blonde hair and blue eyes,” says Lot. “Neither of us is very tall. We're both built athletically and we’re both mainly of European origin.
Even if you don't look like your partner, you likely share nonphysical characteristics, according to a growing field of research, like education level, socioeconomic status, religion, personality features, and even core values.
Lot and Brock fall into this type as well. “We both have PhDs and work in research,” she says. “We both live an active lifestyle, mainly rock climbing and skiing. Our world views are pretty simi-lar, and we're both hard-working, social and friendly people.”
Researchers have been studying the phenomenon of people with similarities pairing up—known as positive assortative coupling—for decades. If you’re sure that “opposites attract”, you may be surprised by research findings, which prove that like attracts like. However, if you believe that “likes attract”, you probably understand why people surprisingly seek life partners who remind them, on some comforting level, of themselves.
“There's an element of predictability when you date somebody of a similar background,” says Ty Tashiro, the author of The Science of Happily Ever After. “They’re less threatening, less scary. They'll be more of a familiar person from the start. Familiarity is something we find attractive.”
12. What can we infer about Lot and Brock
A. They have the same hair and eyes. B. They both come from wealthy families.
C. They are attracted by each other’s similarities. D. They both have the same cultural background.

This light stops your body’s sleep hormone and changes your internal clock. ___18___. Of course, you can choose a special night mode on your devices to solve the problem, but the best solution is to power down all hand-held screens an hour before sleeping.
