Years ago, we were living in a big nice house and I was going to the best elementary school in the city with my siblings. We had everything we could have wished for and we were still asking for more.
Mr. Sanchez used to mow our lawns. He was very hardworking. Often, he would bring his son that was my age. He had modest toys and modest clothes and he had a hard time fitting in with us mainly because I was too proud to consider him my equal. His name was Cabriel and he was a smart boy, despite all his"shortcomings".
Days went by and we spent our time around each other but without any close connection. Fast forward to a couple of years and my father's business hit the rock bottom. His partner took away all the money andleft the country. Soon we had to leave our big house and settle into a small one and we were having a hard time meeting other expenses.
Mr. Sanchez was very kind during that time. He and Gabriel came once a week and helped me and my siblings get things in order. That was when Gabriel and I became good friends. We started talking in the evenings when I learnt he was going to start college and he was much smarter than me.
Later we came up with a business plan and founded a start-up.I felt no shame in confessing that Cabriel was much more instrumental in the rise of our company.
Later, all of my father's debt was paid off and we were again a happy, prosperous family. I was a truly rich man because 1 had a great friend by my side for my whole life.
This experience was a valuable lesson for me. It does not take a life experience for people to go from rags to riches or the other way around. What is important is someone's person and behavior toward his other fellows in real life.
What happened to the author's family in his early years
Life expenses went up unexpectedly. B. A financial breakdown hit his family.
C. Their house was illegally taken away. D. They lost close connection with others.
25. What changed the author's attitude towards Gabriel
A. Their partnership in business. B. The proof of Gabriel's capability.
C. The change of his living condition. D. The consistent help from Gabriel.
26. Which of the following words best describe Gabriel

C. Introverted but generous. D. Hardworking but modest.
27. What can we learn from this passage
A. Like father, like son. B. Birds of a feather flock together.
C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. Never judge a book by its cover.
C
The vast majority of people have an ongoing conversation with themselves, an inner voice, that plays an important role in their daily lives. But between 5 to 10 percent of the population do not have the experience of an inner voice, and they find it more difficult to perform certain verbal memory tasks, new research shows.
Johanne Nedergard from the University of Copenhagen and her colleague Gary Lupyan are the first researchers to investigate whether the lack of an inner voice, or an endophasia as they have coined the condition, has any consequences for how these people solve problems, for example how they perform verbal memory tasks.
People who reported that they either experienced a high degree of inner voice or very little inner voice in everyday life were subjected to one experiment that aimed to determine whether there was a difference in their ability to remember language input and one about their ability to find rhyme words.
The first experiment involved the participants remembering words in order—— words that were similar, either phonetically or in spelling,e. g. "bought ""caught". The participants without an inner voice were significantly worse at remembering the words. The same applied to an assignment in which the participants had to determine whether a pair of pictures contained words that rhyme,e. g. pictures of a sock and a clock. Here, too, it is crucial to be able to repeat the words in order to compare their sounds and thus determine whether they rhyme.
According to Nedergard, the differences in verbal memory that they have identified in their experiments will not be noticed in ordinary everyday conversations. And the question is, does not having an inner voice hold any practical or behavioral significance
So far, the researchers are not sure because they are only on the very beginning of a whole process of study. But there is one field where they suspect that having an inner voice plays a role, and that is therapy; in the widely used cognitive behavioral therapy, for example, you need to identify and change adverse thought patterns, and having an inner voice may be very important in such a process. However, it is still uncertain whether differences in the experience of an inner voice are related to how people respond to different types of therapy. Nedergard said she would like to continue her research to find out whether other language areas are affected if you do not have an inner voice.
What does the underlined word"coined"in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Assessed. B. Revised. C. Created. D. Discovered.
29. The researchers use the pictures of a sock and a clock to _____.
A. display how people pick up different words B. see how people differ in degrees of inner voice
C. explain why some participants can repeat words D. assess a group's ability to remember words in order.
30. Nedergard will probably agree that people without an inner voice ______.
A. have poorer verbal memory B. show traits in daily conversations
C. can obtain it through training D. have serious problems in learning
D
Nature vs. Nurture
Curiosity has always been one of the most innate and prevailing qualities of humankind. Our endless pursuit of truth and reasons has resulted in a lot of crucial discoveries in the world. However, the more we uncover the world, the more we end up generating more questions to answer. Out of all the wonders of the world, human psychology is deemed to be one of the most controversial. The complexity of the mind and its reflection on human behavior has been a subject of many studies and debates. One of the oldest and, still, most talked about an argument in psychology is the nature against nurture debate.
Nature refers to the biological structure and processes that determine a person's physical and behavioral attributes. Due to the advancement of genetics, scientists have uncovered that physical traits such as eye color, hair type, height, and life expectancy of a person can strongly be related to the genetic makeup. These discoveries have led to the speculation that most psychological characteristics like intellect, personality, and language acquisition ability are already pre-wired to our system through our genetic pattern.
In contrast, nurture theory suggests that behavior is honed from socio-cultural factors. This theory is guided by John Locke's "blank slate" theory, which refers to the idea that the human mind, in its primal state, is a blank slate that is gradually filled in with information derived from direct and indirect experiences. This theory states people's characteristics and behavioral diversity attend results of social and cultural influences encountered during their development.
The term Nature vs. Nurture debate was put forward by Sir Francis Galton, who believed that intellect is a quantifiable and hereditary (遗传的) human trait. He also believed that intellect can be passed from generation to generation. Thus, people with high intelligence have a major chance of having highly intellectual offspring, while people having lower than average intellect are more likely to have low intellectual offspring. However , the believers of nurture theory believed that intellectual ability attends the result of inequalities in access to resources and opportunities. Thus, intellect is not a product of heredity but more of a result of the social construct.
Countless research and experimentation have been conducted to put an end to the seemingly endless debate. Psychologists and researchers of the present already embrace the idea that a person's character is highly influenced by his genetic makeup and the environment. The years of labored research on nature and nurture theory finally have born fruits. Technology and research have expanded a better understanding of the human personality and mind, and will just continuously do as time passes by.
Why does the author mention "curiosity"in the first paragraph
A.To predict the research results. B. To emphasize the importance of exploring.
C. To lead to the argument of nature against nurture. D. To raise the reader's interest in the theory of nature.
32. What does John Locke's "blank slate"theory suggest
A. Human mind is always blank. B. People's behaviors are learned.
C. Behavior is determined genetically. D. Culture has little influence on human.
33. What is the attitude of Sir Francis Galton towards the theory of nurture
A. Disapproving. B. Supportive. C. Neutral. D. Cautious.
34. Which of the following might the author agree with
A. The theory of nature is not accepted by the public.
B. The theory of nurture is based on the theory of nature.
C. The supporters of the two theories agree with each other.
D. The theory of nature and the theory of nurture both make sense.

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Why Does Norm Matter Simply put, a norm is a rule that guides behavior among members of a society or group.Norms are social facts：things which exist in society independent of individuals，and that shape our thoughts and behavior. ____35____.
While we can understand norms simply as rules that tell us what we should or shouldn't do, there's much more to them that sociologists find interesting and worthy of study. For example, sociological focus is often directed at how norms are disseminated---how we come to learn them. The process of socialization is guided by norms and taught to us by those around us, including our families, teachers, and authority figures from religion , politics, law, and popular culture.____36_____ We do this a lot as children , but we also do it as adults in unfamiliar spaces, among new groups of people, or in places we visit for this time. Learning the norms of any given space or group allows us to function in that setting, and to be accepted by those present.
As knowledge of how to operate in the world , norms are an important part of the cultural capital that each of us possesses and embodies. They are, in fact, cultural products and are culturally contextual , and they only exist if we realize them in our thought and behavior. For the most part, norms are things that we take for granted and spend little time thinking about, but they become highly visible and conscious when they are broken._____37____ We abide them because we know that they exist and that we will face sanctions if we break them.
_____38_____. If a person cuts the line or drops something that makes a mess and does nothing in response, others present might sanction their behavior visually with eye contact and facial expressions, or verbally.
Because they guide our behavior, and when broken , they enlist a reaction that is meant to reaffirm them and their cultural importance. They allow us to live our lives with an understanding of what we can expect from those around us. _____39_____Without norms , our world would be in chaos , and we wouldn't know how to navigate it.
This would be a form of social approval.
As such, they have a forcing power over us.
Some norms can lead to serious social problems.
The everyday enforcement of them though is mostly unseen.
In many cases they allow us to feel safe and secure , and to operate at ease.
We learn them through spoken and written directive , but also through observing those around us.
They operate in our subconscious, and we don't think consciously about them unless they are broken.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
In April 2021，my grandparents’ lives were turned upside down instantly. A car drove into their home, literally. The vehicle went through the front wall of their home, through the living room, and then hit the border between the living room and kitchen.
My grandfather was standing in front of the refrigerator; the car hitting the wall threw him across the kitchen. He was in serious condition and unable to walk.We were all so worried about him.How would he deal with something so awful happening at his age？
But what surprised everyone was how positive my grandfather remained throughout the entire thing. He was grateful he was alive when the accident could have quickly taken his life. He taught us that even when life gets you down, you have to be grateful for the things you do have rather than dwelling on the things you don't have.
Even though he could not walk or function as he had previously, my grandpa found ways to become satisfied: such as reading his favorite newspaper or receiving a call from a friend or family member. He was grateful for the kind nurses , physical therapists , and other medical personnel who saved his life and helped him recover.
When something so life-changing happens to a close family member, it puts life into perspective and makes you thankful for the little things in life. Meanwhile, all the little things that used to stress us out suddenly don't matter in the large scheme of things. Anything can happen , and finding things that make you happy every day is essential.
What happened to the author's grandpa in April 2021
Why was grandfather grateful for the accident
Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.

So far, the researchers are not sure because they are only on the very beginning of a whole process of study. But there is one field where they suspect that having an inner voice plays a role, and that is therapy; in the widely used cognitive behavioral therapy, for example, you need to identify and change adverse thought patterns, and having an inner voice may be very important in such a process. However, it is still uncertain whether differences in the experience of an inner voice are related to how people respond to different types of therapy. Nedergard said she would like to continue her research to find out whether other language areas are affected if you do not have an inner voice.
What does the underlined word"coined"in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Assessed. B. Revised. C. Created. D. Discovered.
29. The researchers use the pictures of a sock and a clock to _____.
A. display how people pick up different words B. see how people differ in degrees of inner voice
C. explain why some participants can repeat words D. assess a group's ability to remember words in order.
30. Nedergard will probably agree that people without an inner voice ______.
A. have poorer verbal memory B. show traits in daily conversations
C. can obtain it through training D. have serious problems in learning
D
Nature vs. Nurture
Curiosity has always been one of the most innate and prevailing qualities of humankind. Our endless pursuit of truth and reasons has resulted in a lot of crucial discoveries in the world. However, the more we uncover the world, the more we end up generating more questions to answer. Out of all the wonders of the world, human psychology is deemed to be one of the most controversial. The complexity of the mind and its reflection on human behavior has been a subject of many studies and debates. One of the oldest and, still, most talked about an argument in psychology is the nature against nurture debate.
Nature refers to the biological structure and processes that determine a person's physical and behavioral attributes. Due to the advancement of genetics, scientists have uncovered that physical traits such as eye color, hair type, height, and life expectancy of a person can strongly be related to the genetic makeup. These discoveries have led to the speculation that most psychological characteristics like intellect, personality, and language acquisition ability are already pre-wired to our system through our genetic pattern.
In contrast, nurture theory suggests that behavior is honed from socio-cultural factors. This theory is guided by John Locke's "blank slate" theory, which refers to the idea that the human mind, in its primal state, is a blank slate that is gradually filled in with information derived from direct and indirect experiences. This theory states people's characteristics and behavioral diversity attend results of social and cultural influences encountered during their development.
The term Nature vs. Nurture debate was put forward by Sir Francis Galton, who believed that intellect is a quantifiable and hereditary (遗传的) human trait. He also believed that intellect can be passed from generation to generation. Thus, people with high intelligence have a major chance of having highly intellectual offspring, while people having lower than average intellect are more likely to have low intellectual offspring. However , the believers of nurture theory believed that intellectual ability attends the result of inequalities in access to resources and opportunities. Thus, intellect is not a product of heredity but more of a result of the social construct.
Countless research and experimentation have been conducted to put an end to the seemingly endless debate. Psychologists and researchers of the present already embrace the idea that a person's character is highly influenced by his genetic makeup and the environment. The years of labored research on nature and nurture theory finally have born fruits. Technology and research have expanded a better understanding of the human personality and mind, and will just continuously do as time passes by.
Why does the author mention "curiosity"in the first paragraph
A.To predict the research results. B. To emphasize the importance of exploring.
C. To lead to the argument of nature against nurture. D. To raise the reader's interest in the theory of nature.
32. What does John Locke's "blank slate"theory suggest
A. Human mind is always blank. B. People's behaviors are learned.
C. Behavior is determined genetically. D. Culture has little influence on human.
33. What is the attitude of Sir Francis Galton towards the theory of nurture
A. Disapproving. B. Supportive. C. Neutral. D. Cautious.
34. Which of the following might the author agree with
A. The theory of nature is not accepted by the public.
B. The theory of nurture is based on the theory of nature.
C. The supporters of the two theories agree with each other.
D. The theory of nature and the theory of nurture both make sense.

Why Does Norm Matter Simply put, a norm is a rule that guides behavior among members of a society or group.Norms are social facts：things which exist in society independent of individuals，and that shape our thoughts and behavior. ____35____.
While we can understand norms simply as rules that tell us what we should or shouldn't do, there's much more to them that sociologists find interesting and worthy of study. For example, sociological focus is often directed at how norms are disseminated---how we come to learn them. The process of socialization is guided by norms and taught to us by those around us, including our families, teachers, and authority figures from religion , politics, law, and popular culture.____36_____ We do this a lot as children , but we also do it as adults in unfamiliar spaces, among new groups of people, or in places we visit for this time. Learning the norms of any given space or group allows us to function in that setting, and to be accepted by those present.
As knowledge of how to operate in the world , norms are an important part of the cultural capital that each of us possesses and embodies. They are, in fact, cultural products and are culturally contextual , and they only exist if we realize them in our thought and behavior. For the most part, norms are things that we take for granted and spend little time thinking about, but they become highly visible and conscious when they are broken._____37____ We abide them because we know that they exist and that we will face sanctions if we break them.
_____38_____. If a person cuts the line or drops something that makes a mess and does nothing in response, others present might sanction their behavior visually with eye contact and facial expressions, or verbally.
Because they guide our behavior, and when broken , they enlist a reaction that is meant to reaffirm them and their cultural importance. They allow us to live our lives with an understanding of what we can expect from those around us. _____39_____Without norms , our world would be in chaos , and we wouldn't know how to navigate it.
This would be a form of social approval.
As such, they have a forcing power over us.
Some norms can lead to serious social problems.
The everyday enforcement of them though is mostly unseen.
In many cases they allow us to feel safe and secure , and to operate at ease.
We learn them through spoken and written directive , but also through observing those around us.
They operate in our subconscious, and we don't think consciously about them unless they are broken.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
In April 2021，my grandparents’ lives were turned upside down instantly. A car drove into their home, literally. The vehicle went through the front wall of their home, through the living room, and then hit the border between the living room and kitchen.
My grandfather was standing in front of the refrigerator; the car hitting the wall threw him across the kitchen. He was in serious condition and unable to walk.We were all so worried about him.How would he deal with something so awful happening at his age？
But what surprised everyone was how positive my grandfather remained throughout the entire thing. He was grateful he was alive when the accident could have quickly taken his life. He taught us that even when life gets you down, you have to be grateful for the things you do have rather than dwelling on the things you don't have.
Even though he could not walk or function as he had previously, my grandpa found ways to become satisfied: such as reading his favorite newspaper or receiving a call from a friend or family member. He was grateful for the kind nurses , physical therapists , and other medical personnel who saved his life and helped him recover.
When something so life-changing happens to a close family member, it puts life into perspective and makes you thankful for the little things in life. Meanwhile, all the little things that used to stress us out suddenly don't matter in the large scheme of things. Anything can happen , and finding things that make you happy every day is essential.
