阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中, 选出最佳选项、并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas （条纹睡衣） This book takes you through waves of emotion as you start to understand the main character, the 9-year-old son Bruno of the Auschwitz commandant（司令官）. The plot taking place during the Holocaust（大屠杀）, we witness the horror from the boys' viewpoint who just wants friends. You'll be shocked by some of the more surprising aspects of the book as the boy befriends one of the boys on the other side of the fence. The Book Thief The story is about a young girl named Liesel who has to live with adoptive parents during World War II. On the way to her new home, her brother dies, setting the sad tone for the story. There is hope, however, when Liesel discovers her love for reading and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing attacks as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement.
The Fault in Our Stars This is probably the most likely book to make you cry, as it records the experiences of teens who are dying from cancer and living their last days in love. Their life is tragic and jarring at the same time as we watch their health deteriorate（恶化）. The real tragedy is the love between the main characters, who know that it is certain to "die". A Child Called “It” Easily one of the saddest stories of abuse in recent decades. A Child Called "It" is based on the true story of Dave Pelzer, a boy from California who suffered at the hands of his sadistic（施虐癖的）family, the tears will come from both sadness and the inspiration tied to Dave's fight for survival in an environment where he is considered worthless.
21. Which book is basically a romance
A. The Book Thief. B. The Fault in Our Stars.
C. A Child Called "it". D. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.
22. Who is considered to have no good qualities or useful skills in the family

What happens when you cross stem cells from a frog heart und frog skin Not much—that is, until you program those cells to move. In that case, you've created a xenobot, a new type of organism that's part robot, part living thing.
Now a team of scientists has used living cells from frog embryos（胚胎）and assembled（装配）them into entirely new life forms. These millimeter-wide xenobots can move toward a specific target and pull themselves through after being cut.
"These are novel living machines," says Joshua Bongard, a computer scientist and robotics expert at the University of Vermont who co-led the new research. "They're neither a traditional robot nor a known species of animal. It's a now living, programmable organism."
Xenobots borrow their name from Xenopus laevis, the name for the African clawed frog from which the researchers harvested the stem cells. They combined together well two different kinds of cells—heart and skin cells. The heart cells are competent in expanding and contracting, which aids the xenobot in locomotion, and the skin cells control structure. Besides, they can't accomplish tasks without the help of computers.
By studying these curious organisms, researchers hope to learn more about the mysterious world of cellular communication. Plus, these kinds of robo-organisms could possibly be the key to transmitting drug in the body or greener environmental clean-up techniques.
"Most technologies are made from steel, concrete, chemicals, and plastics, which degrade over time and can generate harmful ecological and health side effects," the authors note in a research paper. "When these xenobots finally do stop working, they fall apart harmlessly."
"Promising as these organisms are, when we start to mess around with complex systems that we don't understand, we're going to get unintended consequences," Michael Levin, a biophysicist and coauthor of the study, says in a press statement.
24. What do we know about the xenobot
A. It can recover itself after being cut. B. It is not easy to degrade over time.
C. It will never die with a computer inside. D. It is named after a kind of American frog.
25. What does the underlined word “locomotion” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Appearance. B. Movement. C. Application. D. Position.
26. According to the text, xenobots can be employed to__________
A. recycle waste in nature B. replace certain damaged organs
C. improve communication technology D. deliver medicine inside the patients
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Xenobots can be put into the market soon. B. Xenobots are created totally by accident.
C. More research should be done on xenobots. D. It is hard for people to understand xenobots.
C
When you are asked to draw a picture, in spite of your best effort, you can't make it look like the model shown. Then you may have thought, "I don't have a creative bone in my body."
According to some scientists, who for the past 20 years have studied the complex subject of creativity through a series of research strictly, you are underrating yourself. Da Vinci you may never be, but when it comes to creativity, we are all somewhat blessed. It's learning to develop this unique tool of extraordinary productivity, and then applying it in everything you do, that counts to tell you from figures like Da Vinci.
"Even if we don't have the good fortune to discover a new chemical element or write a great story, the love of the creative process for its own sake is available to all," says Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in Creativity: Flow and Psychology of Discovery and Invention.
Most people believe the ability of creativity has been awarded to those considered to have special talent. We look upon these "creative geniuses", as we often call them, with respect and a bit of envy. Their abilities, most people assume, are due to good genes, or, as if in Greek mythology, from some kind of god's inspiration.
There is no argument that the world is never short of highly talented and creative people. They are masters of their trades and stand heads-and-shoulders above common people, making new pathways for others to follow, and providing greater context and understanding of our world. It could be said that without creativity humanity would not evolve so rapidly.
But like a publicly recognized creative baseball player who possesses his skill through years of continuous training, foregoing other pursuits for the only passion, people who show the slightest unwillingness for challenging labor are bound to witness their boasted（吹嘘的）ability disappear.
After closely studying 91 creative and influential people, including novelists, playwrights, composers, musicians and scientists, Csikszentmihalyi concludes that no one would ignore the sweat they shed and their almost crazy willingness to follow their creative effort to the very end, wherever that may be. These are the very things we all can master, so long as we'd like to.
28. It's widely believed that creativity comes from_________.
A. the inborn genes or relevant gifts
B. the tool we learn from masters like Da Vinci
C. some kind of god from Greek
D. good training people receive from artistic classes
29. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. Creativity lies in devotion and effort.
B. The field of baseball requires more gifts than hard work.
C. People's admiration of geniuses makes humanity develop quickly.
D. People don't think that the world is never short of highly talented people.
30. The underlined word "foregoing" is closest in meaning to_________.
A. referring to B. combining C. giving up D. extending
31. What is the passage mainly about
A. Ordinary people's unwillingness to follow the examples of creative ones.
B. The reasons for the success of those possessing creativity.
C. Creative people view things differently from ordinary people.
D. People's misunderstanding of creativity and its true nature.
D
Picture this: It's 2003 and your family has just finished arguing over which Netflix movie video tapes to rent that week. Movies come in the mail and the family watch them throughout the week. Then, fast forward to 2008, and you have started to watch TV shows on Netflix's new platform.
Now, let's come to the present. You sit down and open up Netflix on your TV and scroll（滚屏）for a while. Then check HBO GO. Finally, check Disney+. Then realize that you're paying for three different streaming services, maybe more.
Let's return to Netflix. More generally, streaming. There are over 100 video streaming services available, as well as quite a few music streaming, including YouTube Music, Google Play, and etc. The streaming world, at least to some, is on its way to getting out of control, with each service requiring its own monthly entertainment subscription. We haven't even taken into account subscriptions like Microsoft Office and email newsletters. Subscriptions started out as a service of convenience, but now, the oversaturation may have become burdensome. The services believe customers will pay more to get the content they want. However, statistics show a growing frustration among consumers. With so many options, they find it harder than ever to make a decision on what to pick.
Not only does the oversaturation of streaming result in confusing navigation（导航）, it also creates a financial burden for the consumers. Let's say if you want to watch The Handmaid's Tale and Game of Thrones, which belong to two different services, you would have to pay nearly $50 a month to access both services, meaning it's potentially more expensive, than cable.
People cut their cords（细绳）and went the streaming route because it was simpler and cheaper. Now, it's just as inconvenient and difficult as cable was, if not more so, and unless you're limiting yourself to one service, it's not cheaper. Streaming will survive because we're in a Golden Age of Media and because each service is able to create high-quality originals. But Golden Ages don't last, and bubbles tend to burst. Until the unavoidable day when some product or service proves streaming out of date, we must suffer the choices in front of us. The next time you are scrolling through Netflix, Hulu, or whatever, and the over-choice is killing you, maybe you should just go pick up a book instead.
32. What is mainly talked about in the first two paragraphs
A. Social progress has promoted the quality of life in the past decade.
B. Technology innovation results in different ways of relaxation.
C. Changes in home entertainment have brought us more options.
D. Netflix has been developing its service patterns.
33. What does the underlined word "oversaturation” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to
A. The large number of subscriptions.
B. The frustration caused by poor service.
C. The rapidly developing entertainment market.
D. The confusing navigation resulting from streaming.
34. According to the passage, streaming services may_____________.
A. improve user satisfaction B. raise entertainment costs
C. diversify entertainment forms D. realize the resource sharing
35. The author would probably agree that_____________.
A. the streaming service will have a bright future
B. reading has an advantage over streaming service
C. there will be some better service to replace streaming
D. nothing can end streaming services as long as media exists

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。
Research shows that we spend one-third to one-half of our waking life not living in the present. 36 Our brains transport us to past events, imagined future scenes and other internal thoughts.
This allows for introspection（内省）—the space to imagine, remember, reflect and then use these fantasies to solve problems and create. But introspection can sometimes lead to more harm than good. 37 When we focus inward to work through our problems, we may find that doing so causes us to feel worse. Negative thought cycles like this can make our capacity for introspection feel more like a curse（诅咒）than a blessing.
The fact that introspection is both a helpful tool and destructive force is a great contradiction of the human mind. Fortunately, science has begun to explain why this happens, and how to control it.
38 This fires up our emotions to the degree of rejecting other ways of thinking about the issue that might cool us down. In other words, we lose insight. One natural solution to this problem is to zoom out—to "step back" from your problems so you can think about them more objectively. 39 However, not just any conversation will do. The key is to focus on talking to people who not only allow you to express your emotions but also help broaden your horizons.
Introspection is central to the makeup of the human mind. The challenge is to reduce the negative aspects while achieving its potential. 40
A. But it can be wonderful to live in the past.
B. We naturally separate from the here and now.
C. It might contribute to anxiety and depression.
D. Another way to gain insight is to talk to others.
E. Adjusting negative emotions also helps to reason wisely.
F. Negative thought cycles occur when we zoom in too close on our problems.
G. Being aware of how our minds work can help us make the best of introspection.
