21．（6分）Confidence Comes From Treating Others As Equals
There's been recent discussion over Chinese attitudes toward foreigners，caused by another quarrel between a foreigner and a taxi driver．According to the studies described in the Oxford Handbook of Chinese Psychology，Chinese have lower self﹣confidence compared to Westerners．Yet does the result still apply to the Chinese people today？
Yes and no．For the moment，different attitudes toward foreigners can still be found in China's society，with some displaying low self﹣confidence like "Foreigners are awesome （令人敬畏的），and Western countries are awesome．We should respect them and be as polite as possible，and shouldn't let them look down on us，" and a few unfriendly opinions such as "Some foreigners are rude and disrespectful，and their level of civility （礼貌）is far behind China."
Chinese used to be lacking in self﹣confidence．It might start from the modern history，after the failure in the Opium wars，and the following humiliation （耻辱）of being bullied （被欺负）and brought to their knees by Western guns．And the dark history is still to some extent affecting our mentality （心态）today．
For some time，the Western world represents the best of everything in some Chinese eyes．But our state of mind is gradually changing．When asked "What makes you feel proud of your country？" in school classes in China，answers vary from the World Expo to the Olympic Games，from athletes to astronauts，from the mushrooming skyscrapers to busy metropolises，which have all filled us with growing self﹣confidence．
While answering the question "Since China is so good today and Chinese people are more confident，why are an increasing number of Chinese emigrating abroad？" Zhang Weiwei，a professor at Fudan University，replied that at least 70 percent of Chinese migrants （移民）become more patriotic （爱国的）after leaving their home country，no matter whether they have become a naturalized citizen of another nation or not．Such result and experiences are much more convincing and have better effect than dozens of "patriotic education" classes．
There is no reason for us not to be self﹣confident．We live in the world's second﹣largest economy．Chinese net financial assets per capita （人均纯金融资产）and the purchasing power of people have seen a sharp rise，with more and more people starting to purchase works of art，instead of only necessities．These all indicate a rising standard of life
and self﹣confidence．
Nevertheless，the point of the changing attitudes toward ourselves or other countries is not realizing other nations are better or worse than China，but treating them like how we treat our fellow Chinese．That is what confidence means，not being condescending （屈尊），not worshiping，but looking each other in the eye with trust and respect．
1、According to the text，what are the Chinese attitudes toward foreigners today？
A．They have various attitudes toward foreigners．
B．They think the foreigners are always rude．
C．They always speak highly of the foreigners．
D．They believe foreigners are just common people．
2、Chinese used to lack self﹣confidence because．
A．They thought the foreigners were mysterious．
B．They used to think themselves less powerful．
C．They were deeply influenced by the dark history．
D．They once believed foreigners were awesome．
3、According to Zhang Weiwei，most Chinese migrants．
A．desire to be a citizen of another nation
B．develop a stronger love for their home country
C．are unwilling to return to their motherland
D．serve as bad examples in patriotic education
4、What's the main idea of the passage？
A．Chinese should be proud of the great achievement of their country．
B．Chinese have enough confidence to make greater progress．
C．Chinese have a lower self﹣confidence faced with foreigners．
D．Chinese should be confident and take the foreigners as equals．
22．（8分）Maybe you want to give back to your community, but you don’t know where to begin. It was something Rebecca Reeder used to hear from friends whenever they learned she volunteered around the Los Angeles area.
The idea finally took shape during her 30th birthday celebration. Reeder and her brother put together a surprise party for her guests. They rented a party bus in secret and invited everyone she knew to a mystery (神秘) event. The surprise bus ride was not only a hit but also an effective ice breaker. Many guests had never met before that night but they were all fast friends by the end of the trip.
Reeder and a friend realized this might be the answer for friends seeking fun ways to do good.
Then they began Do Good Bus and hosted their first community ride in 2010. Everyone assumed it would be a
one-off event, but participants had such fun and felt so good about giving back that they demanded another. And then another. “This kind of things just snowballed from there,” says Reeder, who is now a full-time director of the growing nonprofit organization.
Over the past seven years, Do Good Bus has offered once-a-month public rides in Los Angeles. Volunteers board the bus and ride to a mystery community service project. Reeder likes to keep the locations and causes a secret to add an element of fun and mystery, and to prevent people from arriving with too much expectation.
Participants pay $ 45, with 10 percent going to the day’s cause and the rest going to Do Good Bus to he lp cover costs and run the program.
Rides usually last four to five hours and include everything from working in homeless shelters to beach cleanups to planting community gardens.
The aim, says Reeder, is to raise awareness about causes, and encourage continued support in the community while having a good time.
1、Why did Reeder say the bus ride on her birthday was an ice breaker?
A．It exposed the need of the poor to people.
B．It made people realize how to do good deeds.
C．It made people brave enough to stand the cold ice.
D．It helped people get connected in the activity.
2、What do we know about their first ride in 2010?
A．It took place in winter.
B．It was disappointing.
C．It was a great success.
D．The author organized it alone.
3、How does Reeder get the money for the activities?
A．Participants pay for them.
B．The government supports her.
C．She raises money in society,
D．Community covers 10 percent of the cost.
4、What can we infer about the Do Good Bus?
A．It takes about 5 hours on the way.
B．It offers a pleasant way to do good deeds.
C．It raises money for the participants’ community.
D．It gives a surprising and friendly celebration.
23．（8分）Korea
While many Koreans prefer Western-style weddings in which the bride wears a while wedding dress, some couples are sti ll carrying out the “Pyebaek” – a Korean wedding custom.
The Pyebaek is held after the official ceremony, and is when the bride pays respects to her parents-in-law for the first time. The new couple bow deeply before the parents, and they exchange jujube(枣) and chestnuts(栗子) — symbols for children and good fortune.
—Sujean Park, HuffPost Korea Japan
For Japanese weddings, it’s customary for guests to bring cash as a gift for the new cou ples. The amount depends on the guest’s relationship to the couple — on average, friends would give $300, and family members may give up to $ 1,000.
The bills should be unfolded, freshly printed. They’re typically put in a special envelops signed by the gu est. Guests leave the envelopes at a reception desk at the ceremony and receive wedding favors in return.
—Ryan Takeshita, HuffPost Japan
Brazil
In Brazilian weddings, the best man cuts the groom’s tie into several pieces and sells them to the wedding guests at whatever price they choose to pay for it. The money that’s collected usually goes toward the couple’s honeymoon.
Brazilian weddings wouldn’t be complete without pastries called “bem-casados”, or “happily married”. These are tiny sweet cakes with a condensed milk (炼乳) filling that are meant to bring good luck to the new couples.
—Andrea Martinelli, HuffPost Brazil

24．（8分）Life may have evolved on at least three planets within a newly discovered solar system 1 light years from Earth. Astronomers at the NASA have discovered no less than seven roughly Earth-sized worlds orbiting a dwarf star in the system. Scientists had previously identified a tiny number of "exoplanets", which are believed to have the qualities needed to support life. However, the new system contains an unprecedented(前所未有) number of Earth-sized, probably rocky planets, and is being acknowledged as an "accelerated leap forward" in the search for extraterrestrial (外星球的)life.
Three of the new planets are said to be particularly promising because there might exist oceans. Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of NASA, told a press conference in Washington: "This gives us a hint that finding a second Earth is not a matter of 'if', but 'when'."
The planets were discovered using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, which was able to track how fast each of the planets crossed the star Trappist-l and completed an orbit. From this the research team calculated how far the planets were from their star, and therefore how likely they are to be habitable.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is already being used to search for atmospheres around the planets. Future telescopes, including the proposed European Extremely Large Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope, may be powerful enough to discover markers of life, such as oxygen in the atmospheres of exoplanets.
Astronomers believe there could be as many as 2 billion potentially habitable worlds in our galaxy, the Milky Way. Prof Zurbuchen said that now was a "gold-rush phase" in the search for these exoplanets.
1、What makes the new discovery significant?
A．Ample markers of life.B．The potential to support life.
C．Great distance from Earth.D．The search for extraterrestrial life.
2、What helps explore atmospheres around the exoplanets?
A．Spitzer Space Telescope.B．Hubble Space Telescope.
C．European Extremely Large Telescope.D．James Webb Space Telescope.
3、What may be the best title for the text?
A．New Solar System Found B．Second Earth Discovered
C．Why to Explore Outer Space D．Gold-Rush Stage to Come
25．（10分）The next time your brain refuses to recall a simple fact or name, be thankful. That could be a sign that your brain is getting rid of unnecessary information so that it can operate more efficiently, and help you make better decisions.
The researchers say there are numerous neurobiological(神经生物学的)studies conducted on how the brain stores information, a process called persistence (暂留). However, scientists also assumed that our occasional inability to recall facts was due to a are an the brain. In 2013, scientists discovered that as new neurons combine with the hippocampus(海马区)----a region of the brain that plays a significant role in learning and remembering---they overwrite old memories, making them harder to access. There is also evidence that the brain weakens or removes connections between neurons, in which memories are encoded.The scientists have a theory on why the brain spends so much energy erasing memories. They say what the brain decides to forget is determined by our daily life. An example is that our brains remember phone numbers according to the need. Instead of storing this irrelevant information that our phones can store for us, our brains are freed up to store the memories that actually do matter for us. They also believe that memorizing too much detail could prevent us from making good decisions.
So the next time you are unable to recall a seemingly important fact, don’t be hard on yourself. Just throw it to your brain’s “rubbish can” to make room for information that can contribu te to making you smarter! Remember, even Albert Einstein was absent-minded!
1、What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
A．Persistence is not a process to store information
B．Once information is stored in the brain, it will last forever
C．Learning and memorizing take place in the hippocampus
D．New neurons will strengthen old memories
2、The brain has to erase memories to __________.
A．recall important information
B．store more important information
C．store detail
D．remember phone numbers
3、If some unimportant information is stored, it will be _________.
A．combined with the hippocampus
B．processed and memorized permanently
C．stored and decoded immediately
D．removed and forgotten soon
4、What is the best title of the passage?
A．Scientists encourage us to forget things
B．The way our brains memorize and encode
C．Forgetting things may make you smarter
D．Why was Albert Einstein absent-minded?

26．（30分）It's true that “A small change can make a big difference” in our life. A better technical term that can well 1 this idea is the “Butterfly Effect”. A butterfly's 2 wings can make changes in the path of a tornado; it may 3 create or prevent a tornado at a certain location.
The “Butterfly Effect” plays a role in our 4 to a great extent. Small 5 could make a huge difference in our relationships. Most of the time we take things for granted in our 6 relations.

I've come across people who feel 10 in their relationships as they 11 to address these small needs.
The “Butterfly Effect” also plays a role in our work. Looking 12 into the smallest details while starting a 13 is critical.
