A
The loneliest chimp(黑猩猩) in the world just got the best surprise---a hug from a new friend. Ponso has been by himself for nearly three years, finding himself alone after his wife and children died on the island where they were abandoned by a medical testing company many years ago.
For years a nearby villager named Germain has been Ponso’s only company, visiting him so often to bring bananas and bread---the chimp’s only source of food on the tiny island. It was clear how much Ponso missed companionship when he was recently visited by Chimpanzee Conservation Centre Director Estelle Raballand. The chimp immediately embraced Estelle Raballand in a huge hug and laughed as she reached out for him, with his smile from ear to ear.
For those who know Ponso’s backstory, his immediate ease and trust in humans might be surprising. Ponso was one of 20 chimps, all between the ages of 7 to 11 years old, relocated to an island off the Ivory Coast after being used for testing. After the tests were completed in 2005, the lab reportedly transferred the chimps to a string of islands, occasionally dropping off food and water because there was none in the chimps’ new homes.
Disease and hunger soon left only Ponso, his mate and their two children standing. But at the end of 2013 they died within days and Ponso is now completely alone.
A group called SOS PONSO is trying to raise money for the poor lonely chimp, already
achieving its goal of $20,000 ----all of which will be used for Ponso’s care.
21. What do we know about the chimp Ponso?
A. He was deserted by his family.
B. He found many sources of food.
C. He came to the island for a test.
D. He suffers from loneliness greatly.
22.How did Ponso feel about the visit of Estelle Raballand?
A. Excited.
B. Frightened.
C. Embarrassed.
D. Confused.
23.What can be inferred from the text?
A. Germain won’t visit Ponso anymore.
B. A new lab will be built on the island.
C. Many people show concern for Ponso.
D. More chimps will be brought to the island.
B
Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name---phubbers(低头族).
Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie(自拍) in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.
Although the ending sounds overstated the damage phubbing can bring is real.
Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight
gradually, according to the report.
But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.
It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.
24. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Para. 2?
A. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.
B. To advertise the cartoon made by students.
C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.
D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.
25. Which of the following is NOT a risk(危险) a phubber may have?
A. His social skills could be affected.
B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.
C. He will cause the destruction of the world.
D. He might get separated from his friends and family.
26. What may the passage talk about next?
A. Advice on how to use a cell phone.
B. People addicted to phubbing.
C. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.
D. Results of phubbing.
C
Everyone seems to be living for someone else.
I had once helped a friend of mine run a watermelon stall（摊位）. I noticed something interesting. Almost every buyer would lift the melon up to their ear, smartly tap it, apparently trying to listen to something. I wondered what they expected to hear. Finally I could no longer hold back my curiosity and made bold to ask a customer—an elderly gentleman—about this. Hearing my question, he roared with
laughter. Then he replied in a self-mocking（自嘲）tone. "Young lady, I have been doing this for more than fifty years. All I know is that everybody would stare at you as if you were a fool if you just pick up the melon and leave!"
Not long after that, my watermelon stall friend unexpectedly sent me an invitation for her wedding, which really surprised me. I asked her, "How come you are seized by a sudden desire to get married? I don't remember ever hearing you mention that you've got a boyfriend." She answered while counting money, "Everyone has to get married anyway, so it is better to get married sooner than later."
Have they forgotten their own hear? It may be safer and save a lot more worries to swim with the tide. The use of WE or US will give one a steady and sure sense of pride. But why do people usually feel uneasy when using “I”?
I find these somewhat funny. We have got used to following others’ example. We feel at ease and justified simply because this is a way of US, a way having been practiced by so many people. But his massive practice is still wrong though we all follow suit. And in turn, we also take it for granted that we should judge the right and wrong of others by our own standard.
27.Why did the elderly gentleman rap the watermelon before buying it?
A. Because he expected to hear something.
B. Because he knew nothing about it.
C. Because he just followed suit.
D. Because he was a fool.
28.Which of the following can best replace the phrase “swim with the tide”?
A. follow the crowd
B. swim against the tide
C. wear other people’s clothes
D. follow your heart
29.What will be most likely written about by the author in the next paragraph?
A. Nothing
B. A story about following your heart.
C. A funny story about how to follow your heart.
D. An example about judging others by your own standard.
30.Which is right according to the passage?
A. The author’s attitude to “follow others’ example” is positive.
B. The author understood why people rapped a watermelon at last.
C. The author felt unexpected when her watermelon stall friend wanted to get married.
D. The practice of following suit makes people feel at ease and justified only
because it is a way of America.

The teenage year from 13 to 19 were the most difficult time for me. They were also the best and worse years in my life. At the first, I thought I knew everything and could make decisions by yourself. However, my parents didn’t seem to think such. They always tell me what to do and how to do it. At one time, I even felt my parents couldn’t understand me so I hoped I could be freely from them. I showed them I was independent by wear strange clothes. Now I am leaving home to college. At last, I will be on my own, but I still want to have my parents to turn to whenever need help.
