"How can I make money?" Taylor thought for a while and had an idea, “Why not ma ke cakes andsell them at church to raise money to buy the toy?”The next day, Taylor started her plan. She borrowed $40 from her parents in order to buy tools and materials at first and promised to pay it back. Then she began to make cakes by herself. To her parents’surprise, she made $175 by selling the cakes that Sunday.Everyone thought Taylor would buy the toy she wanted. She certainly had made enough money for it, but she didn't. Instead, Taylor decided to buy business cards and had her father's phone number on them. Then she began handing the cards out. More people knew Taylor and came to buy her cakes. Even large companies began to try buying her delicious cakes.Though Taylor has made a lot of money, she still works hard at school. She also likes to take part in other activities. So Taylor must北京市模拟中考carefully manage her time. For example, instead of watching TV after school, Taylor might have to bake a lot of cakes for customers. When she has dance lessons on some days, she needs to get her baking done on time so she isn't late for class.Making cakes may take time and be hard work, but Taylor sees the fun in it. “ I think making cakes is mostly my hobby. ” She says. She also decorates the boxes that are used to pack the cakes. Taylor uses all kinds of decorations to make sure each box looks special for her customers. People love the extra feeling Taylor gives them by decorating the boxes, so more and more people come for her cakes.Taylor's cakes are becoming very popular. She achieves a sweet success.24.Taylor started making and selling cakes at first because.A.she wanted to buy a toyB.she wanted some beautiful cardsC.she loved baking cakes very muchD.her parents encouraged her to sell cakes25.What did she do after she made $175?A.She bought a phone for her father.B.She went on with her business.C.She bought a toy for herself.D.She started a big company.26.From the passage we can know .A.Taylor likes making moneyB.Taylor is talented in business北京市模拟中考C.Taylor likes watching TV all dayD.Taylor doesn't work hard at schoolSocial Bond of AnimalsFriendship is an important part of human life. Friends can share our joys and our hardships. We aren’t alone. Many different animals also make friends.Recently ,a British research team finished an eight-year study of Indo-Pacific dolphins off the coast of Western Australia. These dolphins can use different tools to search for food. The researchers found that these dolphins are more willing to hang out with partners that like the same tool. Other factors, like family closeness or sex, have no influence on this relationship.“It sugg ests that dolphins form social bonds （纽带）based on shared interests,w UK biologist Simon Allen told Science Daily. "Using different tools is time-consuming （耗时间的）” for dolphins to cooperate.Apart from dolphins, elephants, horses and bats are also known to form friendships. Are friendships only limited to the same species? Of course not, TheAtlantic reported in 2015, a goat Timur was originally left in the tiger Amur's enclosure （围场）as a meal. But instead of eating Timur, Amur likes to play with it and gets jealous when others are close to his friend.The Atlantic said it’s not unusual among captive （圈禁的）animals. That's because in captivity, animals don’t need to spend much time and北京市模拟中考energy marking their territory （领地）or looking for mates the way they would in the wild. They are actually more likely to feel bored. " In this particular situation, the animal's motivation to engage （参与）socially and playfully may be higher than eating. nMore interestingly, animals not only make friends but also try to keep lasting friendships. Take bats for example. In 2011, scientists found bats prefer to hang out with a few certain friends, keeping loose ties to the rest of their group.Humans aren't so different. “We do not work, play and live together with the same friends all the time，" Swiss zoologist Gerald Kerth explained. “ But nevertheless, we are able to maintain long-term relationships …despite our often highly dynamic （动态的）social lives."27.What did the recent British research find about dolphins?A.They form a group to look for food together.B.They form friendships based on family closeness.C.They are likely to make friends based on interests.D.They are better at building friendships than other animals.28.What can we infer from Gerald Kerth’s words?A.Animals like to hang out with different friends.B.Animals might feel bored with friends of the same species.C.Humans are better at keeping long-term bonds than animals.D.Humans and animals make and keep friendships in similar ways.29.What's the passage mainly about?A.How animals form and keep friendship.B.The importance of friendship for animals.北京市模拟中考C.How to build strong ties with your friends.D.The different ways humans and animals socialize.DPowering up with a Catchy TuneWhen watching sports events, we often notice athletes with their earphones on while preparing in the locker room or entering the stadium. They keep their eyes shut, and gently nod along the beats. It seems as if the music is empowering them and toughening （使更坚强）them up for the competition. We sometimes do the same. You might have a list of favorite songs for your morning exercises. But is there any science behind such practices?According to recent research, it turns out there is. Music actually does make us feel powerful, but not all songs have the same effect.The research was led by Dennis Hsu of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in the US. His team had people listen to 31 songs of different types. The listeners felt powerful after listening to some songs, such as Queers We will Rock You and 2 Unlimited-Get Ready for This.Researchers also found that high-power music made people want to take control in social events and come first in competition. That matters a lot in sports. " It's commonly said that sports are 90 percent mental and only 10 percent physical,” The HuffPost reportedGreat athletes know this idea well. Former NBA player Kobe Bryant, for example, often put on big headphones and even did a little meditation to boost his game and ease his anxiety.As for the reason for music's magical power, Hsu's team came up with one possible explanation: when people hear music that expresses a sense of power, they mimic （模拟）these feelings in their mind.北京市模拟中考When choosing music, we also need to look at the type of music, according to researchers.In previous research by the Music in Exercise and Sport Group at Brunel University in London, they found that pop was perfect for slower, more repetitive-type tasks. If you're warming up or cooling down after exercises, pop songs are the correct choice.Dance music was found to be best suited to strength and weight training because it's "fast and rhythmical （有节奏感的）"・During high-intensity （高强度的）workouts, though, you'd better not listen to rock. Its different changes in tempo （节拍）can affect your rhythm.30.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?A.To introduce favorite songs for morning exercises.B.To lead in the topic that music matters in sports.C.To give an example of athletes’ daily life.D.To explain how to choose music.31.According to the passage, Dennis Hsu probably agrees that.A.listening to music always makes athlete relaxedB.powerful music can make people produce similar feelings in their mindC.the result of a game is mainly affected by the physical condition of the playersD.most athletes still don't know the effects of high-power music ontheir performance32.The word "boost” in Paragraph 5 probably means ""・A. controlB. loseC. continueD. improve 北京市模拟中考33.What can we learn from the passage?A.Pop music is a reasonable choice for high intensity workouts.B.Rock music helps people keep their rhythms when exercising.C.People are advised to listen to pop music before and after exercises.D.People should dance to music while doing strength and weight training.四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
