Text 10
W：Last night I had a frightening experience. While I was eating dinner at the fast food restaurant where I normally go when I'm in a hurry, the manager announced that everybody had to leave the building. The place was crowded and that made the situation dangerous, as everyone was determined to get out first. To make matters worse, an elderly woman, who must have weighed 300 pounds, had just come up to the entrance, which was also the only exit. In the meantime, I remembered that I had left my purse in the chair I had been occupying when the announcement was made. It was certainly not convenient to return and get it, but I had to do it. When I finally got outside, I saw that the police bomb team had arrived and the men were studying the area. They finally found out that it was all a false alarm and the crowd went away.

The moment I was born, I seemed to be part of a set, as if my twin brother David and I were a package deal.We faced constant comparisons in our physical appearance.People were always comparing our personalities and academic performances as well! These constant comparisons made me decide not to go to the same university as my twin brother.
That is not to say we didn't have good academic experiences in the past or didn't get along.In eleventh grade, we were placed in the same math experimental class.I recall arriving early to the first class and being a bit disappointed when I saw David already seated at his desk.It is hard to avoid comparisons when we were in the same class.However, we found that we actually worked well together, in our own way.We would argue about the best way to solve a problem and debate its answer.As the year went on, I noticed that our teacher kept moving us closer and closer together.Our argument was actually productive.
However, we were two very different candidates.I was very involved in extracurricular activities (课外活动), while David had better test scores than I did.I'm fond of writing while David enjoys playing computer games.I am currently studying English and French at McGill University, while David is studying computer science at Union College.
Besides escaping comparisons, there have been other benefits to going to different universities.The first one is that we are forced to talk to each other, as we no longer see each other every day.This is healthier for our relationship.The second, also the more important one, is that after having so many similar experiences together we can have our own experiences separate from one another.
Going to a different university has benefited me thus far.It allows for more personal growth, and I'm not attached to the label of being a twin.

We know that reading is good for children.Now, a new study suggests that just being around books has its benefits.A team of researchers in Australia finds that growing up with a large library at home improves literacy (读写能力), number sense, and even technological skills in later life.It appeared in the journal Social Science Research.
The researchers were exploring the advantages of scholarly culture.They were interested in a curious observation that some call the “radiation effect”．“Radiation effect is a situation where children grow up around books, but they don't read books.But somehow books benefit them, even though they don't read them as much as their parents wish them to，” said Joanna Sikora, a sociologist in Australia.Joanna and her colleagues analysed data collected between 2011 and 2015 by the Organization for Economic Development.The survey assessed the literacy, numeracy (计算能力), and technological competency of more than 160,000 adults from 31 countries.And it included a question about how many books participants had in their homes during adolescence.“What we were able to make clear was that people growing up around books had better literacy, numeracy and digital problem solving skills than people who had fewer books growing up but had similar education levels, similar jobs, and even similar adult habits in terms of reading or working at various numeracy improving activities.”
In fact, teens who only made it through high school but were raised in a bookish environment did as well in adulthood as college graduates who grew up in a house without books.Now, how might mere exposure lead to intellectual improvement “If we grow up in a house, in a home where parents enjoy books，where books are given as birthday presents and valued, this is something that becomes a part of our identity and gives us this lifelong urge to always come close to books and read more than we would.”
So keep shelves piled with books.Your kids will not only be grateful, they'll be more likely to be able to spell grateful correctly as well.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究发现：孩子从小生活在有书的环境中，即使不读书也对孩子有好的影响。

29．How does the exposure to books improve intellect
A．Books bring a sense of identity and eagerness to read more.
B．Books helps to provide a chance to come close to the society.
C．Books are always given to adolescents as valuable presents.
D．Books will offer the teens an urge to make great achievements.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的this is something that becomes a part of our identity and gives us this lifelong urge to always come close to books and read more than we would可知，身在有书的环境中成为我们身份的一部分，给了我们一种终生渴望，总想接近书籍，阅读比我们想读的更多的书籍。故选A项。

Stay at home kids are named “generation nini” in Spain.They are those adults who still live at home and are neither working nor studying.But the problem is not limited to Spain.It is a worldwide problem.
In Italy, they are known as “bamboccioni” or big babies.There are nearly 60 percent of 18－34 year old adults still living in their parents' home, up from almost 50 percent since 1983.Once kept there by the love for their mama's home cooked food, the economic crisis (经济危机) has seen a rise in adults left unable to hold down a steady job or afford a home of their own.Last year, an Italian government minister admitted that his mother washed his clothes and made the bed for him until he was 30.He demanded a law forcing young Italians to leave their parents' home at 18 to stop them becoming hopelessly dependent on their parents.
In the UK, the government has made the term NEETS — not in employment, education or training for these children.In England alone the percent of NEETS aged 19－24 surged to 18.8 percent of the age group in the last quarter of 2020, up 1.4 percent on the same period a year before.The number of British men in their 20s living with their parents has risen from 59 percent to 80 percent in the past 15 years, while the number of women has risen from 41 percent to 50 percent.The average age of the first time house buyers is now 38.
In the US, the problem is known as the “full nest syndrome (综合征)”．Adults there are left struggling to support adult children who have stayed at home with student debts and facing few job opportunities in a weak economy.A recent study showed almost a third of American adults aged 34 and under are living with their parents.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个欧洲国家和美国的年轻人啃老现象十分严重，很多成年人仍住在父母家里，不可救药地依赖父母，这些啃老族给父母带来了巨大的麻烦。
32．What does “big babies” mentioned in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．Adults who depend on their parents for a living.
B．Adults who are not as smart as others.
C．Adults who lose their job in the bad economy.
D．Adults who are poorly educated.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的In Italy, they are known as “bamboccioni” or big babies.There are nearly 60 percent of 18－34 year old adults still living in their parents' home可知，“big babies”指的是长大了还住在父母家的成年人，故选A项。
33．The Italian government minister thinks that .
A．parents should make their children feel hopeless
B．parents should never make the bed for their children
C．young people should live on their own after 18
D．it is OK for adult children to live with their parents
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句He demanded a law forcing young Italians to leave their parents' home at 18 to stop them becoming hopelessly dependent on their parents.可知，意大利政府部长要求通过一项法律，强迫意大利青年在18岁时离开父母的家，防止他们不可救药地依赖父母。即意大利政府部长认为年轻人18岁后应该独立生活，故选C项。
34．Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “surged” in Paragraph 3
A．Moved. B．Reduced.
C．Recovered. D．Jumped.
解析：选D 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的to 18.8 percent of the age group in the last quarter of 2020, up 1.4 percent on the same period a year before可知，19到24岁的啃老族比例在2020年第四季度就飙升至18.8%，比一年之前的同期增长了1.4%。由此可知，画线词义为“突升”，D项(猛涨，激增)符合文意。
35．What does the last paragraph tell us
A．America has the most adult children compared with other countries.
B．American parents are happy to live with their children.
C．Some American adult children are causing trouble for their parents.
D．It is a tradition for adult children to live with their parents in America.
解析：选C 段落大意题。根据最后一段中的Adults there are left struggling to support adult children who have stayed at home with student debts and facing few job opportunities in a weak economy.可知，美国的老年人挣扎着养活那些背负着学生债务仍待在家里的成年孩子们，在经济低迷时期他们几乎没有工作机会。由此可知，本段告诉我们一些美国成年子女给父母带来巨大的麻烦，故选C项。

Switching from childhood to adulthood can be challenging. 36 Work on not acting like a child by managing your emotions.With a little bit of practice, you will begin to see yourself acting more like an adult than a child.
● Accept responsibility for your actions.
You should take responsibility for your actions, whether they are intentional (故意的) or unintentional. 37 Failing to accept responsibility may seem like a good idea at the time, but in the long term it will not benefit you.For example, if you accidentally back into your neighbor's car, let them know by writing them a note or knocking on their door.Then, correct your mistake by paying for the damage.
● Show people respect.
Respect your partner, family members, friends, and strangers. 38 As you grow up and mature, you should understand the concept of respect and why it is important.Giving respect will also give you more respect in return.
● Develop a way to handle conflict maturely.
When you are faced with a conflict, it is important to keep your emotions in check.Control your anger and avoid becoming aggressive. 39 Give yourself time to cool down if you are really angry.This will prevent you from saying and doing things that you shouldn't do in the heat of the moment.
● Receive feedback (反馈) positively.
People learn and grow by receiving feedback and criticism from others.You should accept that you don't know everything and that feedback from an expert is not meant to hurt you.It is meant to help you.For example, thoroughly read through your edits on your research paper. 40
A．Take on adult responsibilities.
B．Often times, you may still feel like a child.
C．Children are often selfish and disrespectful.
D．It is a sign of maturity and respect for others.
E．These edits will help improve your writing in the future.
F．This can help you get higher marks in many of your subjects.
G．Take a deep breath, listen, and work through the conflict with the other individual.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章给出了从童年到成年如何转变的建议。
36．选B 空前句提到从童年到成年是一个挑战，空后句说明如何才能表现得不像个孩子，由此可知，B项(通常，你可能仍然觉得自己像个孩子)符合上下文语境。
37．选D 根据空前句You should take responsibility for your actions, whether they are intentional (故意的) or unintentional.可知，D项(这是成熟和尊重他人的标志)是对上文内容的进一步说明。

39．选G 本段主要讲了如何成熟地解决冲突。根据空前句Control your anger and avoid becoming aggressive.及空后句中的cool down可知，G项(深呼吸、倾听、解决与他人的冲突)符合上下文语境。
40．选E 根据空前句For example, thoroughly read through your edits on your research paper.可知，E项(这些编辑将有助于你今后的写作)是对上文的进一步说明。

Stephen tried to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator but spilled (泼出) it all over the kitchen floor.Instead of 44 at him, giving him a lecture or chastising (指责) him, his mother said, “What a great and wonderful 45 you've made! Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes 46 we clean it up？”

This famous scientist said it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make 52 .Instead, he learned that mistakes were just 53 for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific 54 are all about.Even if the experiment doesn't work, we usually learn something 55 from it.

The blood type personality theory 59 (start) in Japan in 1927 when Furukawa Takehi noticed personality similarities and 60 (different) among his workers.This idea soon went out of fashion, 61 it was brought back by a Japanese television host named Toshitaka Nomi in the 1970s.The belief is still strong in Japan and is increasingly popular in neighboring countries.Most Asians might believe 62 the blood type theory, but for many it seems 63 (harm) and not something to be taken too seriously.

语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要阐述了西方和东方对待血型人格理论的不同观点。
56．that/which 句意：在西方，有些人认为，性格可以根据出生时的血型来预测。本空引导定语从句，修饰名词the blood type，且本空在定语从句中作介词with的宾语，故填关系代词that/which。
57．are considered 句意：例如，A型血的人被认为更有可能是严肃、勤奋和安静的人，而O型血的人可能是受欢迎和外向的人，但做事往往是有始无终。本句表述的是一般的观点，应用一般现在时，且句子主语People with blood type A与动词consider之间为动宾关系，故用一般现在时的被动语态，且主语为复数，故填are considered。
58．to finish be unable to do sth不能够做某事，是固定搭配，故用不定式。
59．started 句意：血型人格理论始于1927年的日本，当时古川武井注意到他的工人们的性格有相似之处，也有不同之处。根据时间状语in 1927可知，应用一般过去时。
60．differences 根据空前similarities and可知，本空应用名词复数形式，与similarities并列。
61．but 句意：这一想法很快就过时了，但在20世纪70年代，一位名叫Toshitaka Nomi的日本电视主持人重新提出这个想法。根据句意可知，本空前后句为转折关系，故填but来连接。
62．in 句意：大多数亚洲人可能相信血型理论，但对许多人来说，血型理论似乎是无害的，不需要太认真对待它。believe in相信，故填介词in。
63．harmless 根据系动词seem可知，本空应用形容词作表语；根据句意，本空应用形容词harmless，意为“无害的”。
64．connection 句意：大多数研究都没有发现血液和性格之间有任何紧密的联系。根据空前形容词strong可知，本空应用名词形式，故填connection。
65．Generally 句意：一般来说，科学家们警告不要基于这个有问题的理论做出预测或做出重要决定。本空置于句首，修饰整个句子，故用副词Generally，意为“一般来说”。

It's funny that you can always tell when somebody's laughing behind your back.Jodie hadn't really heard anything, maybe a whisper, but when she turned around, the girls in the back row of the class were looking at her, trying to hide smiles and laughs.She looked back at her teacher.Mr Swales was talking about what people do all day.He also wanted to find out what his students wanted to be when they grew up.
He called on Billy Miter first.“My daddy works in a bank，” Billy Miter said.“I guess I want to work in a bank too.There's lots of money in the bank.” “My parents have a grocery store，” Emmy Disal said.“Papa's behind the counter and Mama keeps the cash register.But I want to be an airline pilot.”
Jodie liked it when Mr Swales asked them questions like this.He was about to call on Jodie when the girls in the back row burst out laughing.
Shirley Danes yelled, “Jodie's daddy is a garbage man！”
Everybody in the class laughed out loud.Everybody except Jodie, that is.She felt her face turn bright red.She looked around the whole classroom.Everyone was laughing.Some kids were even holding their noses.
Jodie looked at Mr Swales.He was angry.He almost never raised his voice, but now he did.
“Silence! I want everybody to quiet down this instant.”
The laughter stopped immediately.The sound of cars and people going by out on the street came through the windows.“You should be ashamed of yourselves，” Mr Swales said.“Being a garbage man ... I mean, is a difficult and enormously useful job.We should all be grateful to Mr Harris.Where would we be without him Up to our cars in garbage, that's where.How would you like that？”
“It's not funny，” Mr Swales went on.“Garbage is a serious matter.I think you all owe Jodie an apology.And after that, you're all going to write Jodie's father, Mr Harris, a nice letter to tell him how much you appreciate what he does for all of us.In other words, keeping our city clear.”

Everyone said “Sorry, Jodie”， but Jodie could tell they didn't really mean it.Jodie also knew nobody wanted to write her father a letter.Her face was burning red and she felt like crying.Mr Swales came to her desk and patted her on the shoulder.“Let's go out in the hall while everyone's writing those letters so we can have a private talk.” Jodie started crying out in the hall.“I'm sorry this happened，” Mr Swales said.“But remember, hard work done well is something to be proud of.”
Jodie's father came to walk her home from school as usual.She didn't run up to him the way she always did.When they arrived home, Jodie went to her little room and cried for a good long time before she had her supper.Mr Harris noticed her red eyes and asked，“What happened, Jodie？” Jodie told her father what had happened and looked at him.He didn't seem angry.He laughed and said, “Although my work seems to be a humble one, my devotion to the job will be everlasting and encouraging.”
