21、   When you have good friends, the best way to get to know them better is to have a sleep- over. A sleepover usually includes having a party and sleeping next to your good friends all night.

In the UK, friends have sleepovers very often. Some have them once every weekend or just once every month. When you want to have a sleepover with your friends, your parents can call or text your friends’ parents to ask about a suitable date. Then, you have to arrange (安排) whose house you’ 11 stay at - your own or your friends’ house. The last step is to finish your homework before you get together with your friends so you can enjoy your time together.

But there is one problem : what if the parents don’t want so many children to be in the house all day? Well, parents can find somewhere to take the children. It could be a park, a swimming pool, a theatre or just somewhere down the road.

There are many fun games you can play with your friends at a sleepover. You can have a water fight in the garden. You can play hide - and - seek in the house.

Twenty years later, the son grew up and had his own son. One day, his son said to him, "There is a big stone in the garden. Shall we move it away?"

23、

Qomolangma is the world's highest mountain. You may have learned from your textbooks that its height is 8,844.43 meters. But not all sides are in agreement on this. Different researchers have given different results. In addition, the height of the mountain can change over time.

That's why a Chinese survey team with over 30 members set out to reach the peak of Qomolangma to re­measure its height on May 6, 2020. They were equipped (配备) with the latest technology.

It is not an easy task. The average air temperature on the mountain is ­-29℃, and powerful winds blow all the time. In such bad conditions, surveying drones (无人机) cannot work at the peak of the mountain. That's why it's still necessary to send human experts to the peak to get exact results.

But does a difference of a few meters really matter when it comes to a high mountain?

In fact, measuring the height of Qomolangma is about more than just getting one exact number. Mount Qomolangma is at the point where the Eurasian plate (欧亚板块) meets the Indian plate. It formed 38 million years ago as the two plates hit each other. Changes in the peak's height can show whether the two plates are heading toward or away from each other. This can help us understand the movement of the earth's crust (地壳).

The survey team will also get first­hand information about environmental conditions at the top of the mountain. This will help us understand how climate change has affected the Qinghai­Tibet Plateau (高原).

【1】What do we know from the first paragraph?

A．Researchers measure the height of Qomolangma every year.

B．There is no agreed-upon height of Qomolangma at present.

C．It's not easy to measure the height of Qomolangma.

D．The height of Qomolangma increases every year.

【2】How many members were there in the Chinese survey team in 2020?

A．Over sixty.

B．Over eighty.

C．Over forty.

D．Over thirty.

【3】Which of the following words could replace the underlined word "peak" in Paragraph 2?

A．Point.

B．Top.

C．Base.

D．Edge.

【4】What challenge did the Chinese survey team face?

A．A lack of water.

B．Dangerous animals.

C．Bad weather conditions.

D．The movement of the earth's crust.

【5】What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs?

A．Why measuring the height of Qomolangma is important.

B．What changes in the height of Qomolangma's peak can tell us.

C．How Qomolangma became the highest mountain.

D．How plate movements affected the height of Qomolangma.

24、   I always have these questions in my mind-how does anxiety influence how we think? What classroom environments are most helpful to learning? Most experts agree that having the right team of people to come up with ideas to argue for plays an important role to find out the answers.

However, how do we know who the right people are when making a team? From the classroom and the workplace, to the laboratory and the playing field, research shows that diverse groups of people often make better decisions.

Professor Scott Page believes different ways of thinking from a particular group produces something additional. When people with their own "tools" come together to work on difficult tasks, the results are powerful.

Groups with different genders(性别) also hold merit here. Christine Lagarde said that better decisions are made when women and men come together at the table, creating what she calls a "larger horizon". She mentioned that while women make up only 2% of bank CEOs worldwide, banks who count women among the top leadership are likely to have better economic outcomes( 结果).

In 2010, researchers examined the performance of about 700 people (both men and women), working in groups of two to five, solving both simple and difficult tasks. They discovered that the best predictor of performance wasn't the average intelligence of group members. Instead it was a collective measure of intelligence, which had much to do with the number of women in the group. As women are good at reading others' faces and making the best of different opinions, they help to bring out a more productive outcome.

Finally, it turns out that the size of the group matters, too. Smaller groups can actually be more creative. A new study from University of Chicago found that while bigger teams are important for advancing science, smaller groups help "break it down"-a key part of creativity.

In today's workforce, people come together to cooperate on tough tasks, being encouraged to look to each other. Brainstorming with others in small, diverse groups helps ideas to shine in our mind and, more often than not, leads to the solution. It's a research-driven model for how to develop our collective problem-solving abilities by having the right teams of people producing good ideas worth fighting for.

【1】The underlined word "diverse groups" in Paragraph 2 probably means "______".

A.groups in which people have a close relation

B.groups with people who like thinking and sharing

C.groups in which people are different from each other

D.groups with people who are good at solving problems

【2】What can we learn from the research in 2010?

A.Groups with both genders make teamwork more fruitful.

B.Women are better at reading and accepting others' minds.

C.The average intelligence of group members really matters.

D.Banks should depend more on women in decision-making.

【3】What does the writer mainly want to show us?

A.Women in a group influence the collective intelligence.

B.Different groups of people usually produce different ideas.

C.Diverse teams can be expected to work out better outcomes.

D.The size of the group is important in dealing with problems.
