13、In a US study, researchers measured (测量) the happiness of 4739 people over 20 years. The study found that a person’s happiness depends on the happiness of people he connects with. Surprisingly, it also found that happiness spreads not only between direct friends, but also among friends of your friends’ friends! And those good feelings seem t o have the greatest influence among friends of the same sex (性别).
“People with more good friends are less likely to develop depression (情绪低落) and worry,” says Dr. Toupey Luft. “Though you can’t choose your family or workmates, you do have control over friendships.” With a little effort, you can add more positive (正面的,积极的) relationships to your social circle. Here’re the suggestions:
“Nobody is all positive or all negative,” says Luft. “But there are people you may feel more positive. Use that as your way to check people and keep records.” When spending time with others, pay attention to your feeling. Are you feeling tired and unhappy？To help you keep records, Luft suggests taking a moment when you get home to write down what your feeling is when around them.
While it’s great to gather with positive friends, it’s also good to stay with others in the same life situations. “But if you’re all just complaining (抱怨) and nothing is changing, it’s not healthy,” says Luft. Are your friends negative, or are you doing most of the complaining? Considering the answers to these questions can help you decide if you want to stand in front of them. Or you could let the relationship disappear slowly.
Sometimes your hobbies can lead to true friendships. Check out newspapers and websites to find a group or class for something you enjoy. These friends can always be there for you and can care each other through difficulties, illness and death.
Not into groups? Look for individual (个人的) communication instead. Luft says, “Set small go als, such as having coffee with one new person, and develop friendship according to a plan. If someone suggests going for lunch sometime, set a date.”
“If you’re feeling disappointed (失望) with a friend, try talking about what you both need,” says Luft. For example, tell her what you want during hard times in your lives.______________________________________. With some friends you laugh and have fun together at the movies—and that can be enough. With others, you pay attention to your deep connection.
1．What does your happiness depend on, according to the passage?
A．How people you connect with feel.
B．How many friends you have.
C．What situation you are in now.
D．What kind of friends you have.
2．What does the first suggestion want us to do?
A．To measure our happiness.
B．To check people around.
C．To join a group for hobbies.
D．To leave negative friends.
3．Which of the following is true?
A．We often have many friends during good times but few during hard times.
B．It’s necessary to complain about something but not r ight to do so for long.
C．Joining a group can bring better friendship than making individual friends.
D．All the suggestions tell us to add positive relationship to our social circle.
4．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that ______.
A．when your friend is sad, you should call her up
B．when your friend leaves you, you need comfort
C．friends’ needs may be quite different sometimes
D．people may behave differently during hard times

14、(An excerpt of After Twenty Years)
There was now a cold rain falling and the wind was stronger. The few people walking along that street were hurrying, trying to keep warm. At the door of the shop stood the man who had come a thousand miles to meet a friend,
Jimmy Wells. Twenty years ago, they agreed to meet here tonight. Such a meeting could not be certain. But he waited.
About twenty minutes he waited, and then a tall man in a long coat came hurrying across the street. He went directly to the waiting man.
“Is that you, Bob?” he asked, doubtfully.
“Is that you, Jimmy Wells?” cried Bob.
The new man took Bob’s hands in his. “It’s Bob! It surely is. I was certain I would find you here if you were still alive. Twenty years is a long time. The old restaurant is gone, Bob. I wish it were here, so that we could have another dinner in it. Has the West been good to you?”
“It gave me everything I asked for. You’ve changed, Jimmy. I never thought you were so tall.”
“Oh, I grew a little after I was twenty.”
“Are you doing well in New York, Jimmy?”
“Well enough. I work for the city. Come on, Bob. We’ll go to a place I know, and have a good long talk about old times.”
The two men started along the street, arm in arm. Bob, the man from the West, was beginning to tell the story of his life. The other, with his coat up to his ears, listened with interest.
At the corner stood a shop bright with electric lights. When they came near, each turned to look at the other’s face.
The man from the West stopped suddenly and pulled his arm away. “You’re not Jimmy Wells,” he said. “Twenty year s is a long time, but not long enough to change the shape of a man’s nose.”
“It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one,” said the tall man. “You’ve been under arrest for ten minutes, Bob. Chicago policemen thought you might be coming to New York. They told us to watch for you. Are you coming with me quietly? That’s wise. But first here is something I was asked to give you. You may read it here at the window. It’s from a policeman named Wells.”
1．Where did the story happen?
A．In a restaurant. B．In Chicago. C．In the West. D．In New York.
2．In which order did the following events take place?
a. Bob found out his new man wasn’t his friend.
b. The tall man gave Bob a note from Wells.
c. Bob waited at the door of a shop.
d. They had a talk about Bob’s life in the West.
e. The new man came to meet him.
A．c-e-d-a-b. B．e-b-c-a-d. C．c-d-a-e-b. D．e-c-a-b-d.
3．What can we infer (推断) from the story?
A．Time may change a good man into a bad one.
B．The police would make some notes on Bob.
C．Bob came from the far West to meet his friend.
D．They promised to meet each other 20 years ago.

16、When he was a little boy, his uncle called him “Sparky” after a comic-strip (连环画) horse named Spark Plug. School was all but impossible for Sparky.
He failed every subject in the eighth grade. And though he did manage to make the school’s golf team, he lost the only important match of the season straight away.
Throughout his youth, Sparky was awkward socially. It wasn’t that the other students disliked him. It was just that no one really cared all that much. In fact, Sparky was surprised if a classmate ever said hello to him outside of school hours. Sparky was a loser. Him, his classmates… everyone knew it. So he learned to live with it. He made up his mind that if things were meant to work out, they would.
One thing was important to Sparky, however-drawing. He was proud of his artwork. No one else enjoyed it. But that didn’t seem to matter to him. In his senior year of high school, he sent some cartoons to the yearbook. The editors refused to consider his ideas. Despite (即使；尽管) that, Sparky was sure about his ability. He even decided to become an artist.
So, after finishing high school, Sparky wrote to Walt Disney Studios. They asked for samples (样本) of his artwork. Despite careful preparation, it too was refused. One more confirmation that he was a loser.
But Sparky s till didn’t give up. Instead, he decided to tell his own life’s story in cartoons. The main character would be a little boy who symbolized the boy who always lost. You know him well. Because Sparky’s cartoon character went on to become a kind of cultural phenomenon (现象). People readily identified with this “lovable loser”. He reminded people of the painful and embarrassing moments from their own past, of their pain and their shared humanity.
The character soon became famous worldwide: “Charlie Brown”. And Sparky, the boy whose many failures never kept him from trying, whose work was refused again and again, is the highly successful cartoonist Charles Schultz. His cartoon strip Peanuts continues to inspire books, T-shirts and Christmas specials, reminding us, as someone, that life somehow finds a way for all of us, even the losers.
1．The underlined part “he learned to live with it” in Paragraph 3 probably means that Sparky _______.
A．decided not to make an effort in school
B．learned to say no to being treated badly
C．didn’t care because no one called him a loser
D．came to accept not being cared about by other students
2．Before he started the Charlie Brown cartoon, _________.
A．Sparky doubted whether being an artist was in his future.
B．some yearbook editors encouraged Sparky to keep on drawing
C．no one valued Sparky’s artwork and it was refused again and again
D．samples of Sparky’s artwork were accepted by Walt Disney Studios
3．Why did Sparky’s cartoon character become so popular?
A．Because Sparky’s experience was so sad.
B．Because people felt they could have to do with it.
C．Because it was a kind of cultural phenomenon.
D．Because it inspired people to fight for their own lives.
4．What can we conclude (推断) from the article?
A．Sparky never lost confidence in his ability.
B．Artists often have little chance of becoming successful.
C．The writer believes that others’ opinions don’t matter.
D．The writer believes that no loser will become successful in the end.

17、The UK should start producing lab-grown meat to he lp solve the world’s food crisis (危机), according to a research group. A report by the Adam Smith Institute says meat made in a laboratory is better for the environment and would be cheaper than meat produced from farm animals.
Need for meat around the world is expected to increase by 70% by the year 2050. So could people be eating
lab-grown meat in the future? Usually animals like cows are killed to produce the meat that people eat, but scientists have found a way to make meat in a laboratory without killing any animals.
Animals are made up of cells (细胞). Scientists worked out how to take cells from an animal, like a cow, and multiply (繁殖) them in a dish. In the end from one tiny cell, tens of billions of cells can be grown. These join together to form meat.
In 2013, the first hamburger grown this way was eaten in London. It took a year to produce and cost over £200,000 to make. Dr Mark Post, who created the world’s first hamburger from meat grown in a lab, told the BBC it “tastes exactly the same as the meat we know”. When two food critics (评论家) tried the burger in 2013, one said it was “close to meat” and another said it tasted like a real hamburger. It’s not just beef that is being created; companies are also working on other meat like turkey and chicken.
The Adam Smith Institute says moving away from the present way meat is produced would help reduce greenhouse emissions (排放) by up to 96% and free up 99% of the land used in farming worldwide. They also think it will reduce
chances of food poisoning (中毒) because the meat is grown under such controlled conditions. Jamie Hollywood from the Adam Smith Institute also told the BBC lab-grown meat could be a lot cheaper. He says the price has gone down in five years from £200,000 to £8, so in the future it could be even less.
1．The main idea of Paragraph 3 is ______.
A．what lab-grown meat is B．how lab-grown meat is made
C．what lab-grown meat tastes like D．when people can eat lab-grown meat
2．The writer mentions two food critics in Paragraph 4 to show that ______.
A．lab-grown meat is cheaper
B．chicken meat can be made in the lab
C．lab-grown meat tastes similar to animal meat
D．English people first tasted lab-grown meat
3．The writer probably agrees that ______.
A．lab-grown meat will cause a lot of problems
B．lab-grown meat tastes better than animal meat
C．making lab-grown meat will cost too much money
D．lab-grown meat can help solve the world’s food crisis
4．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Could lab-grown meat be the future of food?
B．What does lab-grown meat taste like?
C．When could people eat lab-grown meat?
D．What is lab-grown meat and how is it made?

18、When people think of water buffaloes, they often imagine wild and dangerous animals. But unless they are hurt or angered, water buffaloes are probably the gentlest farm animals in the world. Though they look scary, they are much like household pets. Unlike cattle（黄牛）, they are quiet and have a natural fondness for humans.
Water buffaloes are so patient and gentle that there is no need to control them during milking. Because of the animal’s calm nature, water buffaloes almost never have their horns(角) taken off. However, most cattle which are raised for their milk will have their horns taken off, when they are young. It will prevent them from hurting one another when they grow up.
Another common wrong idea is that water buffaloes can be raised only near water. Though they love to roll in muddy water, water buffaloes usually live and have babies in situations where there is not enough water to do this. However,
several researchers report that water buffaloes who roll in muddy water do not need to be treated with insecticides(杀虫剂) because the mud (烂泥) coating that forms on their skin protects them from insects and parasites(寄生虫). Another untrue belief about water buffaloes is that they can live only in tropical (热带的)areas. Actually, buffaloes are able to live in a wide range of climates. Although they are most common in the tropics, water buffaloes were used to pull snowplows(雪犁) in parts of Europe many years ago.
1．Why are water buffaloes’ horns not taken off ?
A．They don’t use their horns to attack.
B．They can’t have babies without the horns.
C．Taking the horns off is dangerous to humans.
D．Taking their horns off can kill the buffaloes.
2．The writer seems to think that most cattle_______.
A．don’t give milk B．are not gentle
C．make good pets D．like people
3．According to the passage, how can rolling in muddy water help water buffaloes?
A．It protects them from parasites.
B．It washes insecticides off them.
C．It helps them have more babies.
D．It keeps them cool in hot weather.
4．Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of this passage?
A．People used to keep water buffaloes as household pets.
B．Many people have incorrect ideas about water buffaloes.
C．Water buffaloes used to be common around the world.
D．Water buffaloes and cattle have many similarities.
