There have been a few times in my life when I felt very lonely. I particularly remember my loneliness when I moved to New York City. I had a couple of friends in the city, still, it was a tune in my life when I needed to put forth some effort to form more meaningful relation-ships. But the more I went out to parties, the more disconnected and lonely I felt. Feeling lonely in a room full of people, or in my case, a whole city packed with people everywhere, was the loneliest I have ever felt
So, rather than trying a new way to make friends, I was more likely to ignore phone calls from friends, and I looked at social invitations and opportunities to meet new people as drudgery(苦差事). Looking back on this period of loneliness,/I wonder at the way I
isolated(孤立) myself instead of reaching out to those who were willing to keep me company and offer friendship.
What I have learned from my own experience and the experience of many of my friends is that more often than not, those who feel lonely choose isolation. Indeed, many of my own friends describe avoiding social life as a way of dealing with feelings of loneliness.
This behavior is somewhat common, and new research takes a big step towards explaining this behavior. According to leading experts on the loneliness, Stephanie and John Cacioppo, there is an evolutionary explanation for this tendency to isolate when we are feeling lonely. By monitoring lonely people's brainwaves, they found that lonely people tend to respond negatively to social life. "Loneliness causes some brain-related changes that put us into a socially nervous mode," Dr. Christian Jarrett explains.
Making ourselves aware of this evolutionary natural tendency could actually be the first step in fighting loneliness. Once we know that we are more sensitive to negativity during lonely spells, we can focus our energy on resisting the desire to put up walls.
4．What happened to the author after she moved to New York City?
A. She had no friends there.
B. She lacked confidence there
C. She needed opportunities for parties.
D. She felt lonely even with people present.
5．How did the author try to seal with her situation?
A. By refusing to go out to meet others.
B.By looking for solutions on the Internet.
C. By trying various methods to make friends.
D.By doing some drudgery to forget her problem.
6．What did Stephanie and John Cacioppo find in their research?
A. Lonely people tend to disgust social life.
B. People respond negatively to lonely people.
C. Loneliness can do great harm to people's health.
D. Loneliness can be caused by e socially nervous mode.
7．What does the author most probably want to show in the text?
A. We shouldn't be influenced by negativity.
B. We shouldn't choose isolation when we feel lonely.
C. We should make friends based on scientific findings.
D. We should spend more time with friends than relatives.
Bee protection is a big issue these days in America, with people planting native pollinator(传粉者) gardens, setting up bee houses, and taking part in scientific activities to monitor local bee populations. And this is for good reason—in North America, a quarter of native bee species are at risk of extinction. Bees pollinate 35 percent of our global food supply and many of the wild plants our ecosystems depend on.
No Mow May, a movement that began in the UK, is now rapidly spreading throughout the US. Its popularity lies in its being simple: Just give bees a help during the crucial spring-time by removing a chore from your list and letting your lawn(草坪) grow for the month of May. This lets “lawn flowers” such as dandelions(蒲公英) grow at a time when bee foods rare.
Dandelions, despite being pretty and useful, are non-native. Then why do we promote a movement that encourages their growth? Here's the basic answer-don't let "perfect" be the enemy of "good". Sure, it'd be great to turn your entire neighborhood into a bee kingdom of native plants, but that can take lots of time and money.
While dandelions have become the poster child for No Mow May, other plants—including native species—may also appear in your lawn. "Besides dandelions, there are many other plants that are going to be there," says Dr. Claudio Gratton at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
In Massachusetts, scientists found 63 species of plants in lawns, 30 percent of which were native to the state. Most of the Americans probably loved dandelions as children but have tended to hate them as adults because of American lawn culture, which allows no flowers. "No Mow May forces us to think about our relationship with nature. We should reflect on the way we have made nature suit our needs, and realize flowers play really important roles," says Dr. Claudio Cratton.
8．What is the background to No Mow May in the US?
A. Native bee species are increasing.
B. There is a tendency to protect bees.
C. Bees mainly depend on garden plants.
D. More people have no time to cut lawns. 9．What do we know about the No Mow May?
A. It needs almost no cost.
B. Few Americans support it.
C. It is aimed at growing dandelions.
D. It appeals for careful attention to the lawns.
10．What does the underlined part "poster child" in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Slight element.
B. Rare exception.
C. Typical example.
D. Difficult problem.
11．Which of the following agrees with American lawn culture?
A.A bee-friendly lawn.
B. A regularly cut lawn.
C. A lawn growing naturally.
D.A lawn with native flowers.
School is important for children and parents everywhere, and there are a lot who take the education of youth very seriously. Parents want their children to succeed, and a lot of children want to do well in school. A new study, which was done by Brigham Young University, has found that students perform better in school if they go on more cultural field trips.
Field trips have always been seen as fun for students, and they look forward to their chances to get out of the classroom and go somewhere fun. But field trips can be difficult for teachers to plan, because they need to make sure that there is learning and value included. Some have argued about the worth of field trips, and whether they are worth a student missing a whole day out of school.
However, Heidi Erickson, one of the researchers in the study, stated that there is no harm in taking students out of the classroom, even for multiple days throughout the year, as long as they are learning and in an appropriate space. The study had 4th- and 5th-gradestudents from 15 schools take part in this study. They went on three cultural field trips during the school year, to an art museum, a live theater performance, and a classical concert. Then the researchers looked at their school year compared to students who did not take part and this is where they saw the difference.
The study found that students who went on multiple field trips a year had higher test scores, performed better in class and had a greater cultural responsibility over time when com-pared to students who did not go on as many field trips.
Although there has been a remarkable decrease in the number of field trips due to various reasons, this new study is showing the true value of field trips, especially when they are considered "cultural"
12．Why is it hard for teachers to plan field trips?
A. Teachers are concerned about the price.
B. Teachers don't believe in the worth on field trips.
C. Students have to miss a whole day out of school.
D. Teachers have to ensure students' meaningful experiences.
13．What is Heidi Erickson's attitude to cultural field trips?
A. Skeptical.
B.Favorable.
C.Concerned.
D.Tolerant.
14．How did the researchers draw the conclusion?
A.By comparing different groups of students.
B.By taking field trips themselves.
C.By doing surveys among teachers.
D. By asking students questions.
15．What is the main idea of the text?
A. Why the number of students' field trips is dropping.
B. Students perform better in an appropriate space.
C. Why cultural field trips are popular with students.
D. Cultural field trips improve students' grades.

六、读后续写
34．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Last December, Jamie McCall was on a cross-country drive as she prepared to move from Florida to Michigan before Christmas. She stopped at a hotel for the night in Cleveland, Tennessee, and while she was getting herself a bite to eat, her beloved eat Tucker escaped from her room. “My cat’s an escape artist,” explained McCall. “He sits beside the door and waits for someone to open it, then he runs out.”
It somehow happened during McCall’s quick mission, and she was shocked to return and find Tucker missing. “I could not find him. I looked everywhere, for hours.”
When Tucker still hadn’t turned up, McCall had no choice but to continue her journey to Michigan, though it broke her heart to drive on without Tucker. A friend told her to post Tucker online, which she did.
Two days later, Holly Lillard was at work at a drugstore near McCall’s hotel. She went outside to sweep and saw a cat jump out from underneath someone’s car. She called the cat over, and he came, which made Lillard realize that he belonged to someone who was missing him.
Lillard asked around and when no one claimed him, she posted a photo of Tucker to her area’s “Lost and Found Pets” online group, where she was a regular there, not just because she’s an animal lover whose own dogs are also escape artists, but because her aunt and cousi n are the page administrators.
Before the day was even over, McCall had found Lillard and her post. “She sent pictures and I knew immediately it was Tucker,” said McCall. There was just one problem: By the time they connected, McCall was already in Michigan.
“I was trying to make arrangements to get him back to me, but I just couldn’t afford it,” said McCall. “I was not financially able to have him shipped back to me or anything like that.”
