I was hurrying to our basketball game one morning when Hillary Barness, the most popular girl in school, stopped me. “Are you the twin who won the art competition ” she asked.
“No, that’s Christine. I’m Katie,” I said.
We were not the same. In fact, we were quite dissimilar. She could beat Snow White in a beauty competition! Compared to Christine, I felt like one of Cinderella’s ugly sisters.
One Saturday, Christine gave me a painting lesson because I was always trying to be artistic too. But I knocked over the vase of flowers. However, she turned the whole mess into an amazing work. You could look at it in five different ways and see five different things. With this excellent creation, she won the art competition. I really envied her, but I knew it wasn’t her fault. I was the one with wild, unmanageable hair and no talent.
Joining Christine’s basketball team was my latest effort to be like her.
On the way to the gym, I made up my mind to give my best performance in that day’s game. As soon as we arrived at the gym, I couldn’t wait to warm up. “Christine, here!” I threw her a ball. It was too high and she missed it. The ball fell onto and broke the recorder which was used to play the national anthem before each game.
I apologized as I picked up the broken pieces of the recorder. Coach looked at the mess and asked, “How are we going to play the song now ”
Christine suggested, “Let Katie sing it! She’s always singing at home and she’s got a nice voice.”
Coach asked, “Would you ” I found myself nodding.
Coach announced the national anthem and everyone stood up. Standing before a microphone, I looked up to the flag. The notes seemed to flow from deep inside me, and my voice was clear. When I finished, the gym was silent. Then it was filled with cheer. As the game started, my teammates gave me the thumbs-up.
The next morning, Hillary Barnes stopped me in the hallway and asked, “Are you the twin who sang the national anthem ”
“Yes, that’s me.” With a smile on my face, I walked to the classroom. I would never think that I was not as perfect as Christine.
34．In Paragraph 3, what did Katie want to show by mentioning “Snow White” and “Cinderella’s sisters”
A．She wanted to show who was prettier than the other one.
B．She wanted to show how she and Christine were different.
C．She wanted to show why Christine won the art competition.
D．She wanted to show what she and Christine both liked doing.
35．How did Katie feel when she knew Christine won the art competition
A．Frightened. B．Nervous. C．Tired. D．Upset.
36．Why did Katie agree to sing the national anthem
A．Because she liked singing and she was able to do it.
B．Because she always wanted to beat her sister in singing.
C．Because she broke the recorder and she couldn’t afford it.
D．Because she dreamed to be the most popular girl in school.
37．What is the message of the story
A．Bad situations help become popular.
B．People are talented in different ways.
C．People should always be nice to others.
D．Unsuccessful attempts are well worth the effort.
C
Imagine looking through 3.7 million outfits online to find the right one. Sounds really hard, doesn’t it Well, with the help of AI stylists, it’s not so hard any more.
An AI stylist can help people choose outfits. It searches for pictures of clothes online and collects thousands of outfits created by human stylists. It can also understand words and pick out important information about each piece of clothing. It keeps all the pictures and words in a data set. Then, the AI stylist gives people fashion ideas according to what they like. A team of people look after the data set (数据集) and make sure it always has the newest information. They help the AI stylist get better at choosing clothes by improving its rules. The AI stylist can also suggest something new to try, even if it’s a little different from what the user usually wears. People often like to try something new!
An AI stylist can run into problems when people from different cultures use it. What is popular in Asia may be different from what is cool in Europe. The AI stylist should know what is popular in each place and change its advice to match people’s wants in different places. So, people make rules for AI stylists to follow. Different countries can change these rules to match different styles.
An AI stylist also has to keep up with “fashion rules”. Sometimes, certain clothes don’t go well together. It is difficult for the AI stylist to understand. So another AI model that can understand the cut, style and colour of outfits adds that information to the data set.
People have compared (比较) outfits by AI stylists and human stylists, and AI stylists have done pretty well. Maybe one day we won’t put together an outfit without using our AI stylists first.
38．What do the team of people do for AI stylists
A．Control the data set of outfits. B．Test AI stylists’ fashion advice.
C．Connect AI stylists with the Internet. D．Find pictures and words about clothing.
39．Which of the following might be a challenge for an AI stylist
A．Comparing users from different cultures.
B．Suggesting something new for users to try.
C．Picking out important information about clothing.
D．Choosing different styles for users from different countries.
40．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2...)
A．①②③/④⑤ B．①/②③/④/⑤ C．①/②/③/④⑤ D．①/②/③④/⑤
41．What does the writer think of the future of AI stylists
A．Bright. B．Uncertain. C．Worrying. D．Meaningless.
D
A theory of emotionTwo scientists called Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer developed the two-factor theory of emotion in 1962. They said that emotions are formed in two parts. First, the body has a physical response to a threat and then the mind considers the physical response as an emotion, which is then felt by the person. For example, imagine you are walking through a forest and you see a bear. Seeing it would probably start a physical response, such as your heart beating very fast and sweat breaking out. Your mind then decides that this is fear, which you feel as an emotion.
A new study has suggested that the key to reducing feelings of anger is not venting (letting the angry emotions out) but doing calming activities such as yoga or meditation.
The study was published in March by Sophie Kjaervik and Brad Bushman from Ohio State University in the US. They wanted to explore the popular theory that venting (expressing) anger is a good way of reducing it. Examples of venting anger include shouting or hitting something like a cushion, so that you let go of the emotion and therefore don’t feel it any more. The pair looked at 154 other studies on anger. These involved 10, 189 people, and included a variety of ages and backgrounds. In their study, Kjaervik and Bushman define anger as “an emotional response (反应) to a real or imagined threat (威胁)”. They used a theory of emotion (情绪假说) that says emotions are partly felt in your body and partly in your mind.
The scientists looked at the other studies to see how different activities influenced anger. They found that activities such as running or boxing—which are often thought to be good for dealing with anger—weren’t very good at reducing it. In fact, some of these activities actually made it worse because they increased physical responses in the body that are linked to feeling angry. For example, they made people’s hearts beat faster. However, activities that decreased physical responses in the body did help to reduce feelings of anger. These included activities that slow the heart rate, such as deep breathing, meditation and yoga. Bushman says activities that increase physical responses may be good for heart health but are “definitely not the best way to reduce anger”.
The team found jogging was most likely to increase anger. However, some heart-rate increasing activities—like ball games and team sports—could reduce anger.
42．What is the main finding of the new study
A．A new method of venting anger. B．A new method of reducing anger.
C．Good activities to vent anger. D．Good activities to reduce anger.
43．What can we learn about calming activities
A．They can reduce feelings of anger. B．They can increase the heart rate.
C．They are good for mind health. D．They are good for heart health.
44．According to Schachter and Singer’s theory, what happens first if you see a snake and feel afraid
A．You get the feeling of fear. B．You get the feeling of calm.
C．Your heart beats fast. D．Your heart beats slowly.
45．The following sentence can best be put at the end of ________.
They think this shows that fun or playful activities help to reduce negative feelings.
A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 2 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 4

Saturday was the day of Becky’s picnic. Becky’s mother prepared the picnic food. No adults went with the children, just some young teachers. They all met at Judge Thatcher’s house and then they went on the ferry together.
They played games at the wooded place where the ferry stopped. Then there was the picnic meal, and finally a visit to some nearby caves. It was quite late when they started back towards the town.
Huck was already on duty watching the tavern. He heard the door closing softly. Two men walked past him, and one had something under his arm. It must be the box! It was too late to call Tom now, so Huck decided to follow them. They went up Cardiff Hill and down the other side into the dark trees. Then they stopped. Huck heard Indian Joe’s voice just in front of him.
‘Widow Douglas has got guests — there are lights on!’
‘Let’s go back,’ said the other man.
‘Go back I’m going to leave this country forever and this is my last chance to get my revenge (报仇) on her. I’m not interested in her money — you can have it. But her husband jailed me many times for being homeless and whipped me in front of the whole town. He’s dead, but I’ll take revenge on her!’
‘Let’s start now!’
“No, we must wait until the guests have gone and the lights are out.”
Huck listened in horror. Then he walked backwards very carefully until he was a good distance from the two men. Then he ran down the hill until he reached the Welshman’s house. He banged (猛敲) on the door. The old man put his head out of the window.
“What’s all that noise What do you want ”
‘Let me in — quickly! I’ll tell you everything!’ The door opened and Huck told his story. Three minutes later the old man and his sons were up the hill walking quietly. After a silence there was a sudden explosion of guns and a cry. Huck ran back down the hill as fast as he could.

I was hurrying to our basketball game one morning when Hillary Barness, the most popular girl in school, stopped me. “Are you the twin who won the art competition ” she asked.
“No, that’s Christine. I’m Katie,” I said.
We were not the same. In fact, we were quite dissimilar. She could beat Snow White in a beauty competition! Compared to Christine, I felt like one of Cinderella’s ugly sisters.
One Saturday, Christine gave me a painting lesson because I was always trying to be artistic too. But I knocked over the vase of flowers. However, she turned the whole mess into an amazing work. You could look at it in five different ways and see five different things. With this excellent creation, she won the art competition. I really envied her, but I knew it wasn’t her fault. I was the one with wild, unmanageable hair and no talent.
Joining Christine’s basketball team was my latest effort to be like her.
On the way to the gym, I made up my mind to give my best performance in that day’s game. As soon as we arrived at the gym, I couldn’t wait to warm up. “Christine, here!” I threw her a ball. It was too high and she missed it. The ball fell onto and broke the recorder which was used to play the national anthem before each game.
I apologized as I picked up the broken pieces of the recorder. Coach looked at the mess and asked, “How are we going to play the song now ”
Christine suggested, “Let Katie sing it! She’s always singing at home and she’s got a nice voice.”
Coach asked, “Would you ” I found myself nodding.
Coach announced the national anthem and everyone stood up. Standing before a microphone, I looked up to the flag. The notes seemed to flow from deep inside me, and my voice was clear. When I finished, the gym was silent. Then it was filled with cheer. As the game started, my teammates gave me the thumbs-up.
The next morning, Hillary Barnes stopped me in the hallway and asked, “Are you the twin who sang the national anthem ”
“Yes, that’s me.” With a smile on my face, I walked to the classroom. I would never think that I was not as perfect as Christine.
34．In Paragraph 3, what did Katie want to show by mentioning “Snow White” and “Cinderella’s sisters”
A．She wanted to show who was prettier than the other one.
B．She wanted to show how she and Christine were different.

D．She wanted to show what she and Christine both liked doing.
35．How did Katie feel when she knew Christine won the art competition
A．Frightened. B．Nervous. C．Tired. D．Upset.
36．Why did Katie agree to sing the national anthem
A．Because she liked singing and she was able to do it.
B．Because she always wanted to beat her sister in singing.
C．Because she broke the recorder and she couldn’t afford it.
D．Because she dreamed to be the most popular girl in school.

Imagine looking through 3.7 million outfits online to find the right one. Sounds really hard, doesn’t it Well, with the help of AI stylists, it’s not so hard any more.
An AI stylist can help people choose outfits. It searches for pictures of clothes online and collects thousands of outfits created by human stylists. It can also understand words and pick out important information about each piece of clothing. It keeps all the pictures and words in a data set. Then, the AI stylist gives people fashion ideas according to what they like. A team of people look after the data set (数据集) and make sure it always has the newest information. They help the AI stylist get better at choosing clothes by improving its rules. The AI stylist can also suggest something new to try, even if it’s a little different from what the user usually wears. People often like to try something new!
An AI stylist can run into problems when people from different cultures use it. What is popular in Asia may be different from what is cool in Europe. The AI stylist should know what is popular in each place and change its advice to match people’s wants in different places. So, people make rules for AI stylists to follow. Different countries can change these rules to match different styles.
An AI stylist also has to keep up with “fashion rules”. Sometimes, certain clothes don’t go well together. It is difficult for the AI stylist to understand. So another AI model that can understand the cut, style and colour of outfits adds that information to the data set.
People have compared (比较) outfits by AI stylists and human stylists, and AI stylists have done pretty well. Maybe one day we won’t put together an outfit without using our AI stylists first.
38．What do the team of people do for AI stylists
A．Control the data set of outfits. B．Test AI stylists’ fashion advice.
C．Connect AI stylists with the Internet. D．Find pictures and words about clothing.
39．Which of the following might be a challenge for an AI stylist
A．Comparing users from different cultures.
B．Suggesting something new for users to try.
C．Picking out important information about clothing.
D．Choosing different styles for users from different countries.

A theory of emotionTwo scientists called Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer developed the two-factor theory of emotion in 1962. They said that emotions are formed in two parts. First, the body has a physical response to a threat and then the mind considers the physical response as an emotion, which is then felt by the person. For example, imagine you are walking through a forest and you see a bear. Seeing it would probably start a physical response, such as your heart beating very fast and sweat breaking out. Your mind then decides that this is fear, which you feel as an emotion.
A new study has suggested that the key to reducing feelings of anger is not venting (letting the angry emotions out) but doing calming activities such as yoga or meditation.
The study was published in March by Sophie Kjaervik and Brad Bushman from Ohio State University in the US. They wanted to explore the popular theory that venting (expressing) anger is a good way of reducing it. Examples of venting anger include shouting or hitting something like a cushion, so that you let go of the emotion and therefore don’t feel it any more. The pair looked at 154 other studies on anger. These involved 10, 189 people, and included a variety of ages and backgrounds. In their study, Kjaervik and Bushman define anger as “an emotional response (反应) to a real or imagined threat (威胁)”. They used a theory of emotion (情绪假说) that says emotions are partly felt in your body and partly in your mind.
The scientists looked at the other studies to see how different activities influenced anger. They found that activities such as running or boxing—which are often thought to be good for dealing with anger—weren’t very good at reducing it. In fact, some of these activities actually made it worse because they increased physical responses in the body that are linked to feeling angry. For example, they made people’s hearts beat faster. However, activities that decreased physical responses in the body did help to reduce feelings of anger. These included activities that slow the heart rate, such as deep breathing, meditation and yoga. Bushman says activities that increase physical responses may be good for heart health but are “definitely not the best way to reduce anger”.
The team found jogging was most likely to increase anger. However, some heart-rate increasing activities—like ball games and team sports—could reduce anger.
42．What is the main finding of the new study
A．A new method of venting anger. B．A new method of reducing anger.
C．Good activities to vent anger. D．Good activities to reduce anger.
43．What can we learn about calming activities
A．They can reduce feelings of anger. B．They can increase the heart rate.
C．They are good for mind health. D．They are good for heart health.
44．According to Schachter and Singer’s theory, what happens first if you see a snake and feel afraid
A．You get the feeling of fear. B．You get the feeling of calm.
C．Your heart beats fast. D．Your heart beats slowly.
45．The following sentence can best be put at the end of ________.
They think this shows that fun or playful activities help to reduce negative feelings.
A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 2 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 4

44．推理判断题。根据“For example, imagine you are walking through a forest and you see a bear. Seeing it would probably start a physical response, such as your heart beating very fast and sweat breaking out.”可知，文章指出，当我们看到一只熊时，我们的身体可能会做出反应，比如心跳得很快，出汗。故可知当我们看到一条蛇并感到害怕时，我们心跳也会加快。故选C。
45．推理判断题。根据第四段“However, some heart-rate increasing activities—like ball games and team sports—could reduce anger.”可知，团队发现一些增加心率的活动，如球类运动和团队运动，可能会减少愤怒。这表明有趣的活动有助于减少负面情绪。故这句话可以放在第四自然段的结尾。故选D。

阅读短文，回答下面5个问题，将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。（每题答案不超过10 个词）
Saturday was the day of Becky’s picnic. Becky’s mother prepared the picnic food. No adults went with the children, just some young teachers. They all met at Judge Thatcher’s house and then they went on the ferry together.
They played games at the wooded place where the ferry stopped. Then there was the picnic meal, and finally a visit to some nearby caves. It was quite late when they started back towards the town.
Huck was already on duty watching the tavern. He heard the door closing softly. Two men walked past him, and one had something under his arm. It must be the box! It was too late to call Tom now, so Huck decided to follow them. They went up Cardiff Hill and down the other side into the dark trees. Then they stopped. Huck heard Indian Joe’s voice just in front of him.
‘Widow Douglas has got guests — there are lights on!’
‘Let’s go back,’ said the other man.
‘Go back I’m going to leave this country forever and this is my last chance to get my revenge (报仇) on her. I’m not interested in her money — you can have it. But her husband jailed me many times for being homeless and whipped me in front of the whole town. He’s dead, but I’ll take revenge on her!’
‘Let’s start now!’
“No, we must wait until the guests have gone and the lights are out.”
Huck listened in horror. Then he walked backwards very carefully until he was a good distance from the two men. Then he ran down the hill until he reached the Welshman’s house. He banged (猛敲) on the door. The old man put his head out of the window.
“What’s all that noise What do you want ”
‘Let me in — quickly! I’ll tell you everything!’ The door opened and Huck told his story. Three minutes later the old man and his sons were up the hill walking quietly. After a silence there was a sudden explosion of guns and a cry. Huck ran back down the hill as fast as he could.

【答案】例文一：
My Special Moment in 2024
In 2024, there was a special moment that I will never forget. It happened during the school sports meeting. I took part in the 800-meter race, though I was not good at running.
At first, I ran as fast as I could. However, soon I felt tired and wanted to give up. Just then, I heard my classmates cheering for me. Their voices gave me strength. I told myself to keep going. Finally, I crossed the finish line.
This moment is special because it taught me that with courage, I can overcome difficulties. It made 2024 a meaningful year for me.
例文二：
Achieve Dreams, Face Challenges
In 2024, I learned a valuable lesson: to achieve our dreams, we must face challenges bravely.
I have always dreamed of being good at English. But my poor pronunciation was a big problem. Every time I tried to speak, I was too shy because I was afraid of being laughed at. However, I didn’t give up. I listened to English tapes every day, followed the pronunciation carefully, and even joined an English club. Little by little, I made progress.
As President Xi Jinping said, dreams can be reached if we pursue them. Challenges are just steps on the way to our dreams. Only by facing them can we make our dreams come true.

I was hurrying to our basketball game one morning when Hillary Barness, the most popular girl in school, stopped me. “Are you the twin who won the art competition ” she asked.
“No, that’s Christine. I’m Katie,” I said.
We were not the same. In fact, we were quite dissimilar. She could beat Snow White in a beauty competition! Compared to Christine, I felt like one of Cinderella’s ugly sisters.
One Saturday, Christine gave me a painting lesson because I was always trying to be artistic too. But I knocked over the vase of flowers. However, she turned the whole mess into an amazing work. You could look at it in five different ways and see five different things. With this excellent creation, she won the art competition. I really envied her, but I knew it wasn’t her fault. I was the one with wild, unmanageable hair and no talent.
Joining Christine’s basketball team was my latest effort to be like her.
On the way to the gym, I made up my mind to give my best performance in that day’s game. As soon as we arrived at the gym, I couldn’t wait to warm up. “Christine, here!” I threw her a ball. It was too high and she missed it. The ball fell onto and broke the recorder which was used to play the national anthem before each game.
I apologized as I picked up the broken pieces of the recorder. Coach looked at the mess and asked, “How are we going to play the song now ”
Christine suggested, “Let Katie sing it! She’s always singing at home and she’s got a nice voice.”
Coach asked, “Would you ” I found myself nodding.
Coach announced the national anthem and everyone stood up. Standing before a microphone, I looked up to the flag. The notes seemed to flow from deep inside me, and my voice was clear. When I finished, the gym was silent. Then it was filled with cheer. As the game started, my teammates gave me the thumbs-up.
The next morning, Hillary Barnes stopped me in the hallway and asked, “Are you the twin who sang the national anthem ”
“Yes, that’s me.” With a smile on my face, I walked to the classroom. I would never think that I was not as perfect as Christine.
34．In Paragraph 3, what did Katie want to show by mentioning “Snow White” and “Cinderella’s sisters”
A．She wanted to show who was prettier than the other one.
B．She wanted to show how she and Christine were different.
C．She wanted to show why Christine won the art competition.
D．She wanted to show what she and Christine both liked doing.
35．How did Katie feel when she knew Christine won the art competition
A．Frightened. B．Nervous. C．Tired. D．Upset.
36．Why did Katie agree to sing the national anthem
A．Because she liked singing and she was able to do it.
B．Because she always wanted to beat her sister in singing.
C．Because she broke the recorder and she couldn’t afford it.
D．Because she dreamed to be the most popular girl in school.
37．What is the message of the story
A．Bad situations help become popular.
B．People are talented in different ways.
C．People should always be nice to others.
D．Unsuccessful attempts are well worth the effort.
C
Imagine looking through 3.7 million outfits online to find the right one. Sounds really hard, doesn’t it Well, with the help of AI stylists, it’s not so hard any more.
An AI stylist can help people choose outfits. It searches for pictures of clothes online and collects thousands of outfits created by human stylists. It can also understand words and pick out important information about each piece of clothing. It keeps all the pictures and words in a data set. Then, the AI stylist gives people fashion ideas according to what they like. A team of people look after the data set (数据集) and make sure it always has the newest information. They help the AI stylist get better at choosing clothes by improving its rules. The AI stylist can also suggest something new to try, even if it’s a little different from what the user usually wears. People often like to try something new!
An AI stylist can run into problems when people from different cultures use it. What is popular in Asia may be different from what is cool in Europe. The AI stylist should know what is popular in each place and change its advice to match people’s wants in different places. So, people make rules for AI stylists to follow. Different countries can change these rules to match different styles.
An AI stylist also has to keep up with “fashion rules”. Sometimes, certain clothes don’t go well together. It is difficult for the AI stylist to understand. So another AI model that can understand the cut, style and colour of outfits adds that information to the data set.
People have compared (比较) outfits by AI stylists and human stylists, and AI stylists have done pretty well. Maybe one day we won’t put together an outfit without using our AI stylists first.
38．What do the team of people do for AI stylists
A．Control the data set of outfits. B．Test AI stylists’ fashion advice.
C．Connect AI stylists with the Internet. D．Find pictures and words about clothing.
39．Which of the following might be a challenge for an AI stylist
A．Comparing users from different cultures.
B．Suggesting something new for users to try.
C．Picking out important information about clothing.
D．Choosing different styles for users from different countries.
40．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2...)
A．①②③/④⑤ B．①/②③/④/⑤ C．①/②/③/④⑤ D．①/②/③④/⑤
41．What does the writer think of the future of AI stylists
A．Bright. B．Uncertain. C．Worrying. D．Meaningless.

A theory of emotionTwo scientists called Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer developed the two-factor theory of emotion in 1962. They said that emotions are formed in two parts. First, the body has a physical response to a threat and then the mind considers the physical response as an emotion, which is then felt by the person. For example, imagine you are walking through a forest and you see a bear. Seeing it would probably start a physical response, such as your heart beating very fast and sweat breaking out. Your mind then decides that this is fear, which you feel as an emotion.
A new study has suggested that the key to reducing feelings of anger is not venting (letting the angry emotions out) but doing calming activities such as yoga or meditation.
The study was published in March by Sophie Kjaervik and Brad Bushman from Ohio State University in the US. They wanted to explore the popular theory that venting (expressing) anger is a good way of reducing it. Examples of venting anger include shouting or hitting something like a cushion, so that you let go of the emotion and therefore don’t feel it any more. The pair looked at 154 other studies on anger. These involved 10, 189 people, and included a variety of ages and backgrounds. In their study, Kjaervik and Bushman define anger as “an emotional response (反应) to a real or imagined threat (威胁)”. They used a theory of emotion (情绪假说) that says emotions are partly felt in your body and partly in your mind.
The scientists looked at the other studies to see how different activities influenced anger. They found that activities such as running or boxing—which are often thought to be good for dealing with anger—weren’t very good at reducing it. In fact, some of these activities actually made it worse because they increased physical responses in the body that are linked to feeling angry. For example, they made people’s hearts beat faster. However, activities that decreased physical responses in the body did help to reduce feelings of anger. These included activities that slow the heart rate, such as deep breathing, meditation and yoga. Bushman says activities that increase physical responses may be good for heart health but are “definitely not the best way to reduce anger”.
The team found jogging was most likely to increase anger. However, some heart-rate increasing activities—like ball games and team sports—could reduce anger.
42．What is the main finding of the new study
A．A new method of venting anger. B．A new method of reducing anger.
C．Good activities to vent anger. D．Good activities to reduce anger.
43．What can we learn about calming activities
A．They can reduce feelings of anger. B．They can increase the heart rate.
C．They are good for mind health. D．They are good for heart health.
44．According to Schachter and Singer’s theory, what happens first if you see a snake and feel afraid
A．You get the feeling of fear. B．You get the feeling of calm.
C．Your heart beats fast. D．Your heart beats slowly.
45．The following sentence can best be put at the end of ________.
They think this shows that fun or playful activities help to reduce negative feelings.
A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 2 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 4

Saturday was the day of Becky’s picnic. Becky’s mother prepared the picnic food. No adults went with the children, just some young teachers. They all met at Judge Thatcher’s house and then they went on the ferry together.
They played games at the wooded place where the ferry stopped. Then there was the picnic meal, and finally a visit to some nearby caves. It was quite late when they started back towards the town.
Huck was already on duty watching the tavern. He heard the door closing softly. Two men walked past him, and one had something under his arm. It must be the box! It was too late to call Tom now, so Huck decided to follow them. They went up Cardiff Hill and down the other side into the dark trees. Then they stopped. Huck heard Indian Joe’s voice just in front of him.
‘Widow Douglas has got guests — there are lights on!’
‘Let’s go back,’ said the other man.
‘Go back I’m going to leave this country forever and this is my last chance to get my revenge (报仇) on her. I’m not interested in her money — you can have it. But her husband jailed me many times for being homeless and whipped me in front of the whole town. He’s dead, but I’ll take revenge on her!’
‘Let’s start now!’
“No, we must wait until the guests have gone and the lights are out.”
Huck listened in horror. Then he walked backwards very carefully until he was a good distance from the two men. Then he ran down the hill until he reached the Welshman’s house. He banged (猛敲) on the door. The old man put his head out of the window.
“What’s all that noise What do you want ”
‘Let me in — quickly! I’ll tell you everything!’ The door opened and Huck told his story. Three minutes later the old man and his sons were up the hill walking quietly. After a silence there was a sudden explosion of guns and a cry. Huck ran back down the hill as fast as he could.
