AHow to avoid common life mistakes?1. Don’t do things you don’t likeWhenever you do things you don’t like, you will start to hate yourself abit more. You will hate yourself for not being consistent. For doing thingsyou know that you don’t want to do, another stress is right there.2. Do lessThis is one of the hardest things, especially for me. I’m doing too many things at the same time. In itself, doing many different things to figure out what works and what doesn’t isn’t that b ad. It’s actually quite good. But at some point you need to let go of the things that don’t work and focus on the things that work. And that’s the hardest part, at least for me. I always try to make everything work. And if you always try to make everything work, you’ll usually end up with nothing working at all.3. Get rid of complicated thingsThere are many complicated things in life. Complicated relationships, complicated jobs, complicated whatever. What all of these things do is that they steal our focus.They add an additional stress layer to our lives and take over some of our brain’s bandwidth（带宽；频宽）. We desperately need to navigate bandwidth in this crazy and complex world.4. Read books, not blogsBlogs consist of too much information for our brains to process. Blogs usually leave out the story our brains need. Our brains need a story to remember things.Don’t believe me? Try it. What parts of this blog post do you remember? Probably none. All that blogs do is that they clutter（拥塞）our brains with useless information we forget immediately after we read them. A waste of time.There are a number of personal traits which all of us should develop in our earlier life.21.Young people will hate themselves when ________.A. they avoid doing things they dislikeB. their stress level is highC. they know what they dislike doingD. their actions conflict with their ideas22.What is the writer’s viewpoint on complicated things?A. They cause little stress to young people’s lives.B. Young people can’t focus on their business without them.C. They have a great influence on young people’s lives.D. Young people needn’t do what they want to do.23.The writer thinks reading blogs ________.A. is not a waste of timeB. prevents us from getting stories we needC. is a great way to access useful informationD. does not fill our brain in a messy wayBAmazing concept images have shown what homes of the future could look like, as preparations are made for the world’s fi rst freeform 3D-printed property (房产).Experts will build a house called Curve Appeal, which will be 3D-printed off-site before being put together on-site to create two outside walls, a roof and an inside part. These four main sections will then be joined together.Although 3D-printed buildings have been made before, this home - to be constructed in Chattanooga, Tennessee, later this year —will be the first of its kind, as it will contain no regular shapes or angles. The house is the creation of the design company WATG, based in London and California. The design for Curve Appeal draws inspiration from the Case Study House program.The architects leading the program were famed for constantly pushing the limits in terms of minimalist (极简主义) materials, and trying to create open-plan spaces that focused on enhancing natural light. In a written statement, a spokesman for WATG said, “Employing many of the same modem design principles, Curve Appeal is the next evolutionary step. It’s important that the architecture and the environment work together harmoniously. The chosen site is steps away from the Tennessee River in a beautiful wooded, sunlit area.”WATG was awarded the first prize in the Freeform Home Design Challenge in 2020 and given prize money of $ 8,000 to make its plans a reality. The competition was aimed at architects, designers, engineers and artists. Participants were challenged to design a 600 to 800sq ft single-family home that rethinks traditional aesthetics (美学), ergonomics, construction, building systems and structure.Over the last year, WATG’s Chicago office has been developing their design with Branch Technology. This project is currently underway, working towards breaking ground later this year. Once completed, the Curve Appeal home will have open and light-filled inside living spaces.24. From the passage we can know that Curve Apple .A. will be different from an ordinary houseB. is the first 3D-printed buildingC. has apparent walls and a roofD. was ever built in the world25. Where is the architect located according to Paragraph 4?A. Far away from the Tennessee River.B. In the woods near the Tennessee River.C. Between the Tennessee River and the woods.D. Next to some modem architectures.26. What does the Freeform Home Design Challenge do?A. It motivates participants to design at random.B. It emphasizes traditions rather than modernization.C. It sponsors competitors when necessary.D. It helps put creative ideas into practice.27. What’s the passage mainly about?A. What our homes will look like in the future.B. The Freeform Home Design Challenge.C. The world’s first freeform 3D-printed house.D. The development of 3D in architecture.CCareer criminals begin their antisocial behavior during their toddler (学步的儿童) years and may go on with a life of crime if their behavior isn’t challenged, scientists have discovered. While most children grow out of their bad behavior by adulthood, a study found those who had “callous un emotional (冷漠无情的) characteristics” could grow up to have problems with the law later in life. Behavior characteristics such as a lack of sympathy and lying in childhood could have an impact years on.Luke Hyde, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, said, “These are signs for parents and doctors to watch out for, as they may signal more than just the terrible twos.” He said, “Parents both take care of their child and provide their child’s genes so it’s been difficult to know if we’re seeing that parenting causes callous unemotional behaviors, or if it is just a sign of the genes being passed to the child.”The research also discovered that strict parenting is linked to the development of antisocial behavior. Scientists looked at 561 families in an adoption study that examined biological mothers’ antisocial behavior. The scientists found children of antisocial mothers were also more likely to exhibit the same behavior characteristics, despite having limited or no touch with them as they were adopted as babies.“The really exciting take-home message from this study is that small, day-to-day positive interactions (互动) that parents have with their young children can make a huge difference in children’s development,’’ said Leslie Leve, a professor at the University of Oregon who co-led the data collection.“Even when children have inherited a very challenging set of behaviors, hearing ‘good job’ or receiving encouragement can help protect them fromdeveloping serious problems coming from their inherited difficulties,” he added. The study, worked on by scientists from the University of Michigan, Penn State University and the University of Oregon has been published in the American Journal of Psychiatry. Researchers will follow the group of children through early adolescence to determine if these behaviors still continue to exist from the toddler years.28. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Kids’ social behaviors are related to crime.B. Criminals begin their crimes during adolescence.C. Antisocial behaviors of kids could be on their way to a life of crime.D. Warmhearted kids are more likely to be criminals in the future.29. What conclusion might the scientists draw from the study?A. Antisocial behaviors might be inherited.B. The genes decide kids’ antisocial be haviors.C. Antisocial behaviors have noting to do with crimes.D. Adopted babies surely have antisocial behaviors when they grow up.30. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Parenting is the main reason that causes kids’ antisocial behaviors.B. What causes career criminals to begin their crimes is their parents’ characteristics.C. Leslie Leve has a doubtful attitude to adoptive mothers’ activeinteractions with kids.D. Inherited antisocial behaviors of kids can be lightened by positive parenting.31. Why will researchers track kids’ process of growing?A. To make sure if kids’ behaviors will last.B. To make sure if praise will change kids.C. To determine if kids’ behaviors will be inherited.D. To determine if parents’ comfort will protect kids.DI was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to usea white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to stop rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I’m awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to guessif the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drove away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But at this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.32. The girl refused to ask for help because she thought ________.A. she might be recognizedB. asking for help looked sillyC. she was normal and independentD. being found blind was embarrassing33. After the girl got off the bus that evening, she________ .A. hit a lamppostB. hit a person as usualC. began to runD. was caught by something34. At the request stop that evening, the girl________ .A. stopped a big lorryB. stopped the wrong busC. made no attempt to stop the busD. was not noticed by other people35. What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?A. Other vehicles also stopped there.B. It was unreliable for making judgments.C. More lorries than buses responded to the girl.D. It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
