friends，for example on social media，seems like a winning strategy.If that is the truth，your goal is to expand your social network.Once people see how popular you are，they'll want to join that popular circle，perhaps in the hope that some of your popularity will rub off on them.Nevertheless，can a person even have too many friends at the same time？It's always been a misconception that if you have more friends，people will be more likely to want to be friends with you.In fact，a new study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology shows that having too many friends may work against you.In a series of experiments.the authors prove that people usually prefer to befriend those who have fewer friends than they do，rather than those with morefriends.The authors call this phenomenon the"friend-number paradox（悖论）"，which is also the title of their new paper.Social ties are obviously important.Having more of these connections suggests greater social value，and more potential possibilities.So it seems reasonable to assume that people will focus their social energies on befriending people who have lots of friends already.But the problem is that these social ties are only valuable if there's reciprocity（互惠）involved.Friendship goes hand in hand with certain responsibilities and expectations.And people with lots of friends may not be able to fulfill those responsibilities—especially those with too many friends.In other words，"friendship quality"matters as much，if not more，than only the number of friends you have.Having lots of friends means your precious social resources become dilute （稀释了的），making you less able to be a good friend.And other people take that into account consciously（有意识地）or unconsciously when deciding whether to befriend you.They don't want to spend their valuable social resources on someone who is unlikely to pay it back.（1）What do the underlined words"rub off on"in paragraph 1 mean？A.Look forward to.B.Take control of.C.Hold on to.D.Have an effect on.（2）What does the"friend-number paradox"show？A.The secrets to becoming popular.B.The ways of winning more friends.C.The advantages of having many friends.D.The problems with having many friends.（3）What does the author think of people with lots of friends？A.They may fail to perform their duties.B.They don't know about reciprocity.C.They are more likely to be good friends.D.They have more precious social resources.（4）What would be the best title for the text？A.How Do People Choose Their Friends？B.More Friends Are Not Necessarily Better.C.Why Do People Like Having More Friends？D.People With More Friends Are More Popular14．（10分）Schools in US are huge consumers of energy.According to ENERGY STAR，K-12 schools spend more than ﹩6 billion every year on energy，far more than the amount spent on other resources，and at least 30 percent of this energy is used inefficiently or needlessly.Realizing that，some schools are seeking measures to save energy in several ways，from low-cost adjustments，such as turning off lights in unused rooms，to large-scale projects，such as turning to green equipment.As solar energy is becoming a more financial choice for powering buildings，more schools are making the move toward the renewable energy and using solar panels（太阳能电池板）on their rooftops.According to an online solar marketplace EnergySage，schools have their strong points to use solar energy.They often have the kind of enough space，suitable locations that are perfect for setting up solar panels.In September 2020，a nonprofit Generation180 released its third edition of a study on solar use in US schools.The findings showed that more than 7，300，or 55 percent，of K-12 public and private schools used solar energy，the number has increased by 81 percent since 2014.They also described how solar schools were saving millions in energy bills，and provided several cases to show the increased savings achieved by solar-powered school districts.For ex-ample，an Arkansas school district used its every year's energy savings of nearly ﹩100，000 to increase its teachers' salaries.The Interstate Renewable Energy Council，which tracks the number of K-12 schools with solar equipment and helps schools go solar，says on its website that schools with solar setups have an opportunity to educate students about clean energy，and show them that they are de-voted to do something for students' and the planet's health and future.Third-party ownership also makes funding for 79 percent of schools to use solar energy possible，meaning a majority of schools don't have to spend large amounts of money but can get the rewards of solar energy.（1）How does the author lead in the topic of the text in the first paragraph？A.By raising a problem.B.By giving an example.C.By making a comparison.D.By offering an evidence.（2）What is the advantage of using solar energy for the schools in US？A.Free access to using solar energy.B.Enough space to fix solar equipment.C.Financial support from solar marketplace.D.Being the largest consumers of the energy.（3）What effect does using solar energy have on the schools？A.Increasing their operating expense.B.Threatening their teachers' income.C.Raising the students' environmental awareness.D.Reducing their total amount of energy consuming.（4）Which word can best describe the schools' using solar energy？A.Achievable.B.Doubtful.C.Challenging.D.Worrying.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2. 5 分，满分12. 5 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。
