Imaginary friends in childhood refer to the invisible beings that a child gives a personality to and plays with for over three months.
Crabbycrab（蟹）appeared on a holiday in Norway by running out of my four-year-old son Fisher's ear after a night of tears from an earache. Like other childhood imaginary friends, Crabby should be a sign thatFisher's mind is growing and developing positively. Indeed, research shows that imaginary friends can help develop children's social skills.
Research has shown that the positive effects of having imaginary friends as a child continue into adulthood. Adolescents who remember their imaginary playmates have been found to use more activecoping（应对）styles, such as seeking advice from loved ones rather than bottle things up inside. Even adolescents with behavioral problems who had imaginary friends as children have been found to have better coping skills through the teenage years.
Scientists thinkthis could be because these teens have been able to adjust themselves to the social world with imagination rather than choose to be involved in relationships with more difficult classmates. It could also be because the imaginary friends help to reduce these adolescents,loneliness.
These teens are also more likely to seek out social connections -they tend to turn to others for advice. Current research by Tori Watson is taking this evidence and looking at how adolescents who have imaginary friends as children deal withbullying（欺凌）at school. It is found that teens who remember their imaginary friends are better at dealing with bullying.
While we know a lot about childhood imaginary friends such as Crabby Crab and the positive effects they can have, there is still a lot to learn about imaginary friends.
4. What is Crabby crab?
A. It is a crab Fisher caught inNorway.
B. It is Fisher's imaginary friend.
C. It is a toy Fisher like much.
D. It is a cause of earache.
5. Why do children with imaginary friends have better coping skills?
A. Imaginary friends help improve their adjustment.
B. Having imaginary friends makes them smarter.
C. They have rich imagination.
D. They are no longer alone.
6. What will a child with imaginary friends probably do if he is bullied?
A. Escape from the bully.
B. Fight with the bully bravely.
C. Keep silent about being bullied.
D. Ask a parent or a teacher for help.
7. What is the author's attitude towards the effect of imaginary friends?
A. Concerned.
B. Doubtful.
C. Optimistic.
D. Indifferent.
C
Newspapers in Great Britainvarygreatly in their ways of carrying the news. There are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment to information.
The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably the Times. It began in 1785, and has a high reputation for believable news and serious opinions on the news. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the paper.
Letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper. These parts of the Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are serious subjects. But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with manners of thirty years ago.
8. If you want to get pleasure, please buy yourself _________.
A. a serious newspaper
B. foreign newspaper
C. any independent paper
D. a popular newspaper
9. The Times has been famous to outside Great Britain for ________ years.
A. 19
B. 85
C. 236
D. 229
10. The Times is an independent paper because ________.
A. it supports no political parties
B. it is not controlled by the British Government
C. it gives special support to all the political parties.
D. the editor’s opinions are not examined by the owners of the paper
11. The underlined word “vary” in the passage probably means “_________”.
A. improve
B. compete with each other
C. are different
D. keep in touch with each other
D
A company called Neuralink has shared a video where a monkey is playing a video game. That' s fairly unusual, but what makes the video even stranger is that the monkey is playing the video game with just his mind.
The monkey in the video is called Pager who has two of Neuralink's special "Link" devices(装置)inside his brain. The devices planted in Pager's brain are connected to 2,048 wires which lead to the parts of Pager's brain that control movements of the arms and hands.
Scientists taught Pager to play a video game. At first, Pager controlled the video game using a joystick it, which is a normal gaming controller. But as Pager played, his Link devices wirelessly sent out information about the signals his brain was using to control his arms and hands. Neuralink's scientists recorded all of these signals.
Then they used computers to match the signals from Pager's brain to the movements that his hands were actually doing. This was the most difficult work and the scientists counted on artificial intelligence ( AI) to help them decode(解码)Pager's brain signals.
The final step was to have a computer make moves inthe video game as if Pager had actually moved the joystick. If Pager thought about moving the joystick up, the computer would send an “up” signal to the video game.
At first, the researchers let Pager keep moving the joystick with his hand, even though it was no longer connected to the computer. But soon Pager was able to play the video game using just his brain.
Even though Neuralink's work right now focuses on animals and video games, there's a very serious purpose behind it. Neuralink wants to make it possible for humans who have lost the ability to make physical movements to interact with the world around them.
12. What are “Link” devices used to do?
A. To pick up the arms' and hands' signals.
B. To link the computer to the monkey's brain.
C. To send out information about the brain's signals.
D. To control movements of the arms and hands.
13. What challenged scientists most in the study?
A. Recording and sending out body signals.
B. Training Pager to use the joystick correctly.
C. Planting "Link" devices into Pager's brain.
D. Matching brain signals to body movements.
14. What is Neuralink's real purpose of the study?
A. To test artificial intelligence.
B. To help those without arms or legs.
C. To study how animals play video games.
D. To develop more complex video games.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Video Games for Animals Are Developed.
B. Science Proves the Intelligence of Monkeys.
C. Monkey Plays Video Games Using His Mind.
D. Neuralink Is Leading the World in Technology.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项Do you have an important or favorite memory from the past? Perhaps it was clapping for goals.____16____By sharing our memories, we can feel closer to other people and more positive about what we've been through.
How does memory work?
Scientists believe there are two levels of memory. One is short-term or working memory, which stays in your brain for only 15-30 seconds. The other level is long-term or permanent memory, which can be stored for days, months or even years.
____17____Motor-skill memories help you remember how to ride a bike; factual memories help you to recognize faces. These types of memories can be short or long term. Emotional memories recall how you felt about something and can be strong and powerful. Remembering the sadness of missing your friends during lockdown, and being happy and excited to see them again afterwards, are emotional memories.____18____
Why are memories important?
Memories tell you the story of yourself. Information such as which school you go to and who your friends are is stored inside your brain, ready for when you need it.____19____“If I miss seeing my grandparents, I remember staying with them in Devon. It makes me feel happy, like when I was there.” Heidi, 12, toldThe Week.
____20____When people think of shared experience, what usually comes to mind is being with close others, such as friends or family, and talking with them. By telling a funny or embarrassing story-perhaps the time the dog stole the Christmas ham -we share feelings of joy or recognition of difficulties overcome, large or small. By sharing similar or not-so-similar experiences, we empathize with and understand one another better.
A. There are many uses for memory.
B. Memories can help you own wellbeing.
C. Shared memories can connect you to others.
D. Time cannot erase his memories of the past.
E. Memories can also help you manage feelings.
