"Did you hear what happened to Adam last Friday?" Lindsey whispers to Tori.
With her eyes shining, Tori brags, "You bet I did, Sean told me two days ago."
Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happened to be yours truly, Adam Freedman, I can tell you that what they are saying is （a） not nice and （b） not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren't very different from most students here at Linton High School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip （闲话）.I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group.
An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about a topic—breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out—that a person would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.
If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? The answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor （传言）can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don't. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the
21
"in group". In other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority （优越感）.
Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The do's and don'ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook.
The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your "juicy story" might have.
24. The author uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to _________.
A. introduce a topic B. present an argument
C. describe the characters D. clarify his writing purpose
25. An important negative effect of gossip is that it ___________.
A. breaks up relationships B. embarrasses the listener
C. spreads information around D. causes unpleasant experiences
26. Professor David Wilson thinks that gossip can ____________.
A. provide students with written rules
B. help people watch their own behaviors
C. force school to improve student handbooks
D. attract the police's attention to group behaviors
27. What advice does the author give in the passage?
A. Never become a gossiper B. Stay away from gossipers
C. Don't let gossip turn into lies D. Think twice before you gossip
C
People like to post their selfies(自拍照) on social media. To know more about it, scientists at Syracuse University in New York recently did a research and came up with some surprising findings.
People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behavior connected to narcissism(自恋), the researchers said. Makana Chock, a professor from Syracuse University, said because social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives, it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own vanity.” Those “likes” under their Facebook selfies make them feel good.
Besides, people who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the research found. Some people feel “peer(同伴) pressure” to post selfies and some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience, it did not really happen. “Anyway, it shouldn’t be seen as negative. People get sense of satisfaction especially when they get likes. And it does no harm,” Chock said.
Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software. But men who post selfies showed more of a need to be seen as popular than women who posted selfies.
Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips and special events, our parents and grandparents used cameras instead of phones to take photos. They would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the
21
person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your comments. That was the old way of “clicking like”. On social media, however, people can decide not to look at photos --- even if they click “like”.
28. What is the research mainly about?
A. The ways of making people look better in selfies.
B. The reasons for people posting selfies on social media.
C. The differences between men and women in posting selfies.
D. The connections between posting selfies and mental health.
29. What does the word “vanity” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. A deep desire to know about something. B. A special need to be more popular.
C. Too much pride in one’s own appearance. D. Strong determination to improve oneself.
30. What is Chock’s attitude towards selfie posting?
A. Ambiguous. B. Cautious. C. Disapproving. D. Supportive.
31. From the last paragraph, we know that the older generations showed their photos to friends and family ______.
A. to win praise from viewers B. to show off their cameras
C. to improve relationships D. to share good moments
D
Many of us think, wrongly, that the moon doesn’t change. For example, the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ruoxu once wrote that “Generations have come and passed away; From year to year the moons took alike, old and new.”
However, a new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience shows that the moon is in fact slowly shrinking over time. For the study, a group of US scientists examined and analyzed thousands of photographs taken by the NASA orbiter Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (月球勘测轨道飞行器照相机) . They found that there were lots of faults (断层) on the surface of the moon. These faults were formed by recent movement on the moon.
According to NASA, the moon is made up of pieces of rocks with a hot core (核) .The moon continued to expand as it was born. But in this process, it released energy and cooled down. Then it began to shrink, in a way comparable to the shrinking of a grape into a raisin (葡萄干) . Over the past several hundred million years, it has become 46 meters “skinnier”. But due to its hard and rocky crust (外壳) . the moon’s surface continues to push up, “Some of these quakes can be fairly strong around five on the Richter scale (里氏震级 ) ,” said Thomas Watters, a senior scientist at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in the US.
But does that mean the moon is a dangerous place that human shouldn’t try to explore and live on in the future? Maybe not, reported the Telegraph, “This isn’t anything to worry about. The moon may be shrinking, but not by much. It’s not going anywhere,” Watters comforted us.
The new discovery proves that the idea that the moon is a dead, boring place is wrong. “We have been to the moon and we’ve done some great science, but there is still a lot we don’t know. The moon is shrinking — we didn’t really realize that until recently. It’s a much more active and interesting place than we thought and we should explore that,” NASA scientist Nathan Williams said.
32. Which point of view about the moon may the writer agree to?
A. It stays the same as before. B. It is becoming lightly smellers.
C. It is getting older and older. D. It has passed away.
33. What can we learn about the moon from the third paragraph?
A. It has become 46 meters fatter due to expanding.
21
B. It has changed from a grape into a raisin in recent years.
C. It quakes even at seven on the Richter scale.
D. It has a hot core and releases energy during expanding.
34. Who thinks that we needn’t worry about the moon?
A. Zhang Ruoxu. B. Thomas Watters.
C. Nathan Williams. D. The journalist.
35. What does Nathan Williams think of the moon?
A. It is a dead and boring place. B. It has lots of faults on the surface.
C. It is valuable to do more science. D. It isn’t a place where we can live.

Who can forget their first day of school? Students come into the classroom wondering who their teacher will be for the year. 36 . Introducing yourself to those students is a big part of that first day.
Pay attention to your appearance
Dress professionally and make sure you follow any published dress codes applying to students and staff. While you want the students to enjoy their time in your class, you want them to respect you. 37 . On the first day, putting your best appearance forward can set the tone for the year.

40 .
If you have time after your basic introduction, ask your new students if they'd like to know anything more about you. After you have answered their questions, ask the class what they have learned about you. For example, ask "What do I like to do in my free time?" By doing that, you're reiterating your introduction, which makes it easier for the students to remember you.

C. Tell your class a little more about yourself.

When Chase greeted’ her with a 55 , she clapped and said, “Look, Mommy, he’s bowing!” Chase gave her his undivided 56 while she read him a story. When her time was up, she signed up to read again.
I’m grateful for everything about Chase that made this girl jump so 57 . I hadn’t 58 him to bow; he’d bowed naturally. I’d known the library visits would be about helping kids learn to read. But I hadn’t realized what a 59 builder those visits would be for kids who were shy or didn’t fit in.

If you always hate certain vegetables, you may be more than a picky eater. Instead, you might be a “super-taster”, a person 61 bitter genes (苦味基因). Those people who have the “bitter genes” are 2.6 times more likely to eat 62 (few) vegetables than others, according to a new study 63 (present) at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association.

“We don’t get the taste of food equally,” said professor Duffy, an expert in the study of food taste. “It could explain some of the differences in our food 64 (prefer).”
About half of us can taste bitter and sweet, so we are not especially sensitive to bitter food. Another 25% are called “non-tasters”, to 65 bitter food might actually be a bit sweeter. The rest of us are 66 (extreme) sensitive to the bitterness that some 67 (plant) develop to keep animals from eating them.
Food scientists are trying to develop ways 68 (reduce) the bitterness in veggies, in the hope that we can keep super-tasters from rejecting vegetables. In fact, some vegetables we grow today 69 (be) much sweeter than before.

To be honesty, it was my older brother that inspired my passion for the violin. When I was five years old, he came home from school one day with the violin and played it. I was green with envy and wanted to start immediate. My first violin is given by my violin teacher and I named it with the little dog called ToTo in The Wizard of Oz. Now, I am the youngest members of the Australian Youth Orchestra.

My way to stay young is simple: Give full attention to the part of you that’s young and growing---your brain. Keep your mind active and your body will stay young, too. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning one new thing every day.
21
Never think about your age, it’s not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a house wife who became a famous industrial designer; I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly paid artist.
Get over the idea that you are too old to go back to college. I know I man who entered medical school at 70. He got his degree with honors and became a top doctor. Another man went to law school at 71 and is now an active lawyer.
Even if you are getting on in years, staying young is easy for those who live for the future. You can do it if you care enough to try. Keep your mind alive and active; this is the key to staying young, and it will certainly work.

Many of our conversations are gossip （闲话）. ”可知，说闲话这种事几乎人人都会做。根据“I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group. ”可知，下文主要叙述“说闲话”的三个影响。由此推知，文章开头引用两人的交谈是为了引出“说闲话”这个话题。故选A。
25.【答案】D
21
【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about”可知，说闲话的一个重要的负面影响是它会伤害被谈论的人。即：给被谈论的人带来不愉快的体验。故选D。
26.【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention.”可知，闲话还有第三个作用：它强化了关于人们应该如何行动的不成文的规定。大卫·威尔逊教授解释说，流言蜚语对监督一个群体的行为很重要。换句话说，这意味着：如果你周围的每个人都在嘲笑约翰穿的衣服或简说的话，那么，穿着类似的衣服或说类似的话会让你得到同样的负面注意。由此推知，Professor David Wilson认为闲话可以帮助人们注意他们的行为。故选B。
27.【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your "juicy story" might have.”可知，下次你想要传播最新消息的时候，想想你为什么要说闲话，你的“有趣的故事”可能会有什么影响。即：在你说闲话之前要三思。故选D。
28.【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。答案定位在最后一段You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your comments. That was the old way of “clicking like”. On social media, however, people can decide not to look at photos --- even if they click “like”. 这说明老一辈人展示他们的照片是希望得到赞许，由此推断出这次研究主要是关于人们在社交媒体上发布自拍的原因。故选B。
29【答案】C
【解析】词义猜测题。下文Those “likes” under their Facebook selfies make them feel good.意思是脸书自拍下面的“赞”让他们感觉很好。由此可知，上文it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own vanity.”意思是这是一个让人们“努力满足自己虚荣心”的好地方。“vanity”意思是虚荣心。故选C。
30.【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。答案定位在最后一段Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that
21
different from what people have done for many years.（Chock说，在社交媒体上发布自拍照与人们多年来的做法并没有太大不同。）由此推断出，Chock对发布自拍照持支持态度。A. Ambiguous. 模糊不清的；B. Cautious. 谨慎的；C. Disapproving. 反对的；D. Supportive.支持的。故选D。
31.【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。答案定位在最后一段They were happy to hear your comments.（他们很高兴听到你的评论。）由此可知从最后一段，我们知道老一辈人把他们的照片展示给朋友和家人，以赢得观众的赞扬，故选A。
32.【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句However, a new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience shows that the moon is in fact slowly shrinking over time.（然而，发表在《自然地球科学》(Nature Geoscience)杂志上的一项新研究表明，月球实际上正随着时间慢慢缩小。）可知月球正在变得越来越小。故选B。
33.【答案】D
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段According to NASA, the moon is made up of pieces of rocks with a hot core. The moon continued to expand as it was born. But in this process, it released energy and cooled down.（根据美国宇航局的说法，月球是由具有热内核的岩石碎片组成的。月球在诞生时继续膨胀。但在这个过程中，它释放能量并冷却下来。）可知月球有一个热的核心，在膨胀的过程中释放能量。故选D。
34.【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“This isn’t anything to worry about. The moon may be shrinking, but not by much. It’s not going anywhere,” Watters comforted us.（“这没什么好担心的。月球可能正在缩小，但幅度不大。它哪儿也去不了，” Watters安慰我们。）可知Thomas Watters认为我们不必担心月球。故选B。
35.【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“We have been to the moon and we’ve done some great science, but there is still a lot we don’t know. The moon is shrinking — we didn’t really realize that until recently. It’s a much more active and interesting place than we thought and we should explore that,” NASA scientist Nathan Williams said.（“我们去过月球，也做了一些伟大的科学研究，但仍然有很多我们不知道的。月球正在缩小——直到最近我们才真正意识到这一点。这是一个比我们想象中更加活跃和有趣的地方，我们应该去探索。美国宇航局科学家Nathan Williams说。）可知Nathan Williams认为去月球做更多的科学研究是有价值的。故选C。

作文
【答案】
Dear Peter,
How are you doing? Thanks for sharing with me your experience of learning China's four great classic novels and your personal understanding. There is no denying that so many fantastic characters have been created by ancient Chinese novelists. I am glad to tell you about my favorite character, Sun Wukong in Journey to the West.
In the novel, Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, is a monkey born from a stone who acquires supernatural powers through Taoist practices, from which he knows the 72 transformations, allowing him to transform into various animals and objects. That is the most important reason why I consider Sun as my favorite character.
Classics open up a window to different worlds and different cultures. I do hope that Chinese classic literature helps you understand China better.
Yours,
Li Hua
