21、   In this age of Facebook and Twitter, we are all supposed to have hundreds of friends. But in fact most of us have just two close friends — down from an average(平均水平) of three 25 years ago, a study says.

Researchers (研究者) say there is no need to worry about that. Instead, they say that while some of us may be getting “more vulnerable (脆弱的)”, many are becoming better at deciding who is their close friend.

The result seems unexpected. Because a lot of young people are trying to make as many “friends” as possible on the Internet.

According to Facebook, the average user usually has 130 friends, but many of these are people who are known by accident or people the user will never meet in real life.

But the researcher, Mr. Brashears says, although the circle(圈子) of friends is getting smaller, which may make us more vulnerable, we’re not as “lonely” as the result shows.

For his study, Mr. Brashears did a survey in more than 2,000 adults aged 18 and older. He found that, modern discussion networks have been smaller in size. It is the same as other researchers’ findings, but few people have become lonelier.

Researchers asked people to list the names of people they had discussed important matters with over the past six months. About 48% of them listed one name, 18 % listed two, and about 29% listed more than two names for these close friends.

On average, one person had 2.03 close friends. And just over 4% of them didn’t list any names.

【1】According to the study, how many close friends do most of us have?

A.25. B.2. C.3.

【2】The underlined word “unexpected” probably means “________” in the passage.

A.有趣 B.令人兴奋 C.意外

【3】About Facebook friends, which of the following is TRUE?

A.The Facebook user never meet some Facebook friends in real life.

B.The average user usually has 310 friends.

C.Facebook friends are all old and close friends.

【4】The passage shows the result of the survey by ________.

A.giving advice B.telling stories C.listing numbers

【5】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.Many people are worrying about their circle of friends.

B.Researchers find many people have only two close friends.

C.Young people make as many friends as possible on the Internet.

22、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从下面各小题所给的四个备选项中，选出最佳选项。

23、Dear students,

I'm very happy to be your guest speaker today. It's a great pleasure to visit your school and meet all of you here. I would like to tell you about myself. I have been a reporter for the last fifteen years. I chose this job so I could travel the world, but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons. My work is sometimes boring, but for most of the time it is amazing. I have seen wars, earthquakes, poverty(353) and death. But I have also seen courage, hope and happiness.

In India, I visited a city. There were many homeless children in it. Some were young and lived in the streets. But then a wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them. In a whole year, she was looking after two hundred children, feeding them teaching them and giving them hope.

Another time, I was in Japan after a terrible earthquake. One day, I found an old lady whose house fell down. Her son was missing and people around her said that there was no chance that her son was alive. But the lady didn't give up hope. For four days, she kept moving heavy stones by herself. She did not stop until she found her son. He was still alive.

Here in China, I met a young boy with a serious illness. He had to have twenty operations in

hospital. But when I met him, he was still smiling.

Now when my life is difficult, I always remember the courage of the three people.

24、   We've talked about snails(蜗牛) and their slow move. But much of the time snails don't move at all. They are in their shells(壳) sleeping.

Hot sun will dry out a snail's body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into its shell. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So when it rains, a snail does the same thing, too. A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to. It spends all the winter months in its shell, asleep.

In spring the snail wakes up. Its body comes out from the shell. When hungry, the snail looks for food. Its eyes, at the end of the top feelers(触角)are very weak. But its sense of smell is very strong. It helps the snail to find food.

A snail's mouth is no bigger than the point of a pin(大头针).Yet it has 256,000 teeth! The teeth are very small, and you can't see them. If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out! And if a snail wears out its teeth, it will grow new ones.

【1】What do you know about a snail from this article?

A.It moves more slowly at night B.It has thousands of feet
