21、Many people love going on a trip by plane, but an airport is usually far from the city. You have to arrive there and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. You can’t open the window, you can’t choose the food. Planes are fast, but it takes hours to get out of the airport and into the city.

I like travelling by train. I think trains are safe. Train stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way, I know it takes a little more time.

I also like cars. You can start your trip when you want to, and you don’t need to get to a station. You can carry many things with you, too, but sometimes there are many cars on the road.

22、   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.

23、It was nearly dark, the sun was dropping down the mountains far away. Little Tom came back home with tears in his eyes.

“What’s the matter, Tom? How’s your trip?” his mother asked with a big smile. “I failed. The mountain is so high and full of big or small stones on the way. I still went ahead. But I was tired and it was so late that I had to come back.” Tom cried. “It doesn’t matter, you are only 14 years old after all. You will have another chance.” his mother said. “But, standing at the top of the mountain is my dream!” Tom said. His father came over and asked, “Did you see the green trees on your way to the mountain?” “Sure, and there are a lot of beautiful flowers by the side of the road,” Tom answered. “Did you hear the birds singing?” his father asked. “There were many kinds of birds singing in the trees, and the sound was very sweet,” Tom said. “Did you feel the beauty of nature?” his father asked. “Yes, the blue sky, the white clouds, the green trees and the colorful flowers made a nice picture.” Tom answered. “That’s enough!” his father smiled and said, “Please remember, son. For often, getting what you expect is not the most important thing. Although you didn’t reach the top of the mountain, you got a lot on the way.”

It is true that not every job will end up with a success, and not every dream will come true. The most beautiful scenery (风景) is on the way.

B．sadly

C．quickly

24、   Clothes are important and necessary to us, but do you know how to choose suitable clothes in a correct way? Here are some ideas for you.

When you go shopping and want to buy some clothes, you should think about which kind of clothes you really need and decide how much money you can spend on them. Then look at the labels(标签)  that are inside the new clothes. They tell you how to take care of the clothes.  The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash it in cold water.  The label on a coat may say “dry clean only” and cleaning in water may ruin (损坏) this coat. If you do as the directions say on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best.

Many clothes today must be dry-cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, you had better check if they need to be dry-cleaned.  You can save money if you buy clothes that can be washed or that are well made. Well-made clothes last longer. They look good even after they have been washed many times.

Clothes that cost more money don’t always mean they are better made. They may not fit you, either. On the other hand, less expensive clothes may sometimes look better and fit you well.

【1】The first thing for you to do before you buy clothes is ________

A.to know how to wash them B.to look for well-made clothes

C.to see which kind of clothes you need D.to read the directions inside them

C.washing clothes in a right way D.choosing the well made clothes

25、根据短文内容和所给首字母填空。

One day I found a little girl sitting in the park sadly. Lots of people passed by but never s【1】 to see why she looked so sad. As I got closer I saw that her b【2】 had a strange shape. That’s a hump(驼背)! Perhaps that was that r【3】 why people just passed by and made no effort(努力) to help. I sat down beside her and said, “Hello!” Then she, in a low voice, s【4】, “Hi.” I smiled and she smiled back. Then we talked there u【5】 it got dark. I asked the girl why she was so sad. She looked at me and said with a sad face, “Because of the hump.”

“But, you make me t【6】 of an angel(天使), sweet and friendly,” I said. She looked at me and asked, “Really?” I said, “Yes, I think you are an angel and you come here to watch over all those people walking by.” When she h【7】 this, the little girl jumped up.”I am! I’m an angel!” I was happy because she was not sad any m【8】.

After that, my life also changed. I learned how to s【9】   both happiness and sadness with others. I believe now if we give something to others, we’ll get something in the s【10】 way.
