A
Think of space! What comes to your mind No. I’m not talking about planets or aliens. I’m talking about the space we live in! The world is full of different space. We can think about space in three different ways: public space, private (私人的) space and personal space.
PUBLIC SPACE
Public space is the social space for everyone to get together. It belongs to everyone. But wait! Before you camp in your local park or throw a party at a library, remember that there are rules.The rules are set down to keep the space clean and safe.
PRIVATE SPACE
The private space is for our own. We all need private space like homes, where we can relax and stay alone. We are not allowed to enter private space freely.
PERSONAL SPACE
This is the space where we sit and stand. Everyone has different feelings about their personal space. People may feel uncomfortable or even get annoyed when someone they don’t know gets to close.
We should respect (尊重) all kinds of space. We should respect public space. We can’t leave a mess (乱七八糟) or take away anything that doesn’t belong to us. It’s important to leave no trace (痕迹) in public place.
We should respect private space by asking for permission (允许) before entering. And we should respect personal space by finding out how much space a friend or classmate needs to feel comfortable.
Respecting all space helps make us be better people. It also helps keep our community safe and fun.
22. In public space, we’d better ________.
A. keep the place clean and safe B. take away something useful
C. bring everything together D. leave a mess everywhere
23. The underlined word “annoyed” means “________ ”.
A. dangerous B. angry C. relaxed D. sad
24. The best title for the article should be ________.
A. Keep Space Safe and Clean B. Different Space in the World
C. Respect Different Space D. Remember the Rules
B
①Walking slowly out of the classroom by himself to the dining room; taking his lunch; sitting and eating alone at a table of four seats, such moments are pretty normal to be seen on the 14-year-old schoolboy, Peter. He spends most of his school time on his own, which makes his parents worry about him so much.
②His parents’ worries are easy to understand. It is widely accepted that being alone is a symbol of being left out and can bring a lot of trouble. Most people believe teenagers who are usually alone do have few friends and are unable to fit in with other people. At the same time, they are at greater risk (风险) of having mental problems.
③However, a new study by some researchers at Wilmington College, shows that this may not always be true. Whether it is bad for teenagers or not depends on the reasons why teenagers are alone. If it is their choice, it may play an active role in their personal growth.
④According to their study, when teenagers choose to think alone, they put 100% of their attention into what is in their mind and are more likely to experience deeper thoughts and feelings than working with others. They may have a greater chance to create something new. In this way, they can better develop their creativity (创造力).
⑤On the other hand, the ongoing noise children’s brains receive every day can put great stress on them and make it hard for them to focus. Being alone lets them shut themselves off from the noisy outside world and think about what’s best for them. Slowly they improve their ability to focus.
⑥As a matter of fact, our culture is always biased (有偏见的) against being alone. Maybe it is the right time for us to rethink about Peter’s situation before we say what’s happening to him.
25. Why do Peter’s parents worry about him so much
A. Because he spends most of his time in the dining hall.
B. Because he doesn’t have enough time for his lunch at school.
C. Because he often sits alone to have his lunch in the dining hall.
D. Because he doesn’t enjoy his meal at lunchtime in the dining hall.
26. What may be the writer’s opinion according to the passage
A. Peter spends most of his school time alone.
B. Choosing to be alone is a symbol of being left out.
C. Peter usually spends his time alone to improve his focus.
D. More people will have a deeper understanding of being alone in the future.
27. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage
A. ①/②③④⑤/⑥ B. ①/②③④/⑤⑥ C. ①/②/③④⑤/⑥ D. ①②/③④⑤/⑥
28. Where can we probably read this passage
A. In a guidebook. B. In a research report.
C. In a teenager’s diary. D. In a cultural magazine.
