21、   Rodney Smith is a man with a task. The Bermuda native is in the midst of a trip that will take him to every state in the nation, mowing lawns(修理草坪）.

Five years ago，Smith came across a senior man mowing his lawn and stopped to help.“When I came across the elderly man, my life changed，”he said. After that, Smith went on to  create the Raising Men Lawn Care Service (RMLCS) to mow lawns for the elderly，disabled，single moms and former soldiers free of charge. As part of providing free yard work, the organization teaches children about serving their communities and lawn mower safety.

A key component of RMLCS is its 50-yard challenge，which sets a goal for children nationwide to mow 50 lawns for free in their community. When a kid signs up for the challenge, the group sends them a white shirt with the Raising Men logo(标识），shades and ear protection. The participants receive a different colored shirt after every 10th lawn they mow. When they have completed the task for 50 yards，they receive a special visit from Smith or someone with RMLCS. They give the volunteer a new lawnmower, free of charge, and cut other lawns with them.

Since this challenge started in 2016，12 kids have already completed the challenge. And both boys and girls are part of it. At present they have 130 kids nationwide taking part in this challenge，including 7 in Bermuda and the U. K. and one in Canada. So it5 s spreading worldwide. Even the Queen of England took notice — the governor of Bermuda presented Smith with an award late last year on behalf of her.

It was also last year that Smith came up with the 50 States 50 Lawns campaign. Now, in 2018，he’s on the road again.

【1】What is the purpose of the Raising Men Lawn Care Service?

A.Educate children to work hard.

B.Offer free lawn cutting service.

C.Make lawnmowers of high quality.

D.Train professional lawn mowing workers.

【2】What indicates a child completing the 50-yard challenge?

A.A visit to RMLCS.

B.The Raising Men logo.

C.A white shirt and ear protection.

D.A new lawnmower from RMLCS.

【3】Why is the Queen of England mentioned?

A.To praise the queen for her care.

B.To prove Smith is respected by everyone.

C.To show Smith’s behavior got recognized.

D.To introduce where Smith’s motivation came from.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A.Mow Lawns in Order to Travel

B.Lawn Mowing — a New Trend

C.Choose Mowing Lawns to Help

D.Smith — a Man Loves Mowing Lawns

22、How should you spend your time? Whom should you marry? Where should you live? For centuries, people have relied on their instincts (本能) to figure out the answers to these questions. Now, we can use the big data to help determine the best course to chart.

Researchers have collected data on various kinds of choices people make, the information they base those choices on, and how things turn out. They have found that a simple data-driven algorithm (算法) would have been better than judges at deciding whether a defendant should stay in jail or be released and better than school principals at deciding which teachers should be promoted. Baseball teams found that algorithms were better than coaches at picking players and strategies. Tech firms in Silicon Valley have found that data from experiments provides better insights into how to design their websites than designers could.

But do statistics have similar impact on our making decisions in personal lives? Yes. The largest of experience sampling projects, Mappiness, has collected more than 3 million data points. It has revealed the activities that provide far more joy than most of us would have guessed, such as exercising, going to a museum and gardening, and the things that give us less pleasure such as playing video games, watching TV program and surfing the internet.

One study by 86 researchers collected information on more than 11,000 romantic couples. They used machine learning models to understand what predicts romantic satisfaction. They found many highly desired traits, such as a partner’s attractiveness and height, have just no connection with long-term happiness. Instead the qualities such as having a “growth mindset”, or a secure attachment style are most predictive of romantic satisfaction.

I am not claiming that we can completely outsource (外包) our lifestyle choices to algorithms, though we might get to that point in the future. I am claiming instead that we can all dramatically improve our decision- making by consulting evidence obtained from thousands or millions of people who faced dilemmas similar to ours.

【1】How does the author develop paragraph 2?

A．By giving examples.

B．By analyzing reasons.

C．By presenting solutions.

D．By listing figures.

【2】What can Mappiness do?

A．Choose the best TV program.

B．Pick better players for the coach.

C．Decide whether a person is guilty.

D．Tell which activity brings more joy.

【3】Who may gain long-term happiness according to the text?

A．A woman with a pretty face.

B．A man of growing wealth.

C．A woman with reliable personality.

D．A man of average height.

【4】Which statement may the author agree with?

A．Big data will cause disasters.

B．Big data may help us make decisions.

C．Big data should be fully trusted.

D．Big data often puts people in dilemmas.

23、   A quick look at Instagram will show you thousands of girls sharing their clothing of the day. Many of these girls are sharing completely new clothes every day. And they’re feeling the pressure to never repeat clothes. This attitude of not being able to wear something again after sharing it on Instagram is far too common. It is a sad thing when some girls feel sorry for appearing in the same clothes more than once on Instagram.

Clothes businesses push new “must-haves” every week, which adds to the pressure to keep up. Clothes have been so cheap because of the competition between clothes businesses that it’s shockingly easy to buy new clothes every day. These clothes businesses have made it possible for a normal person to never be seen in the same clothes twice. Often the quality of these clothes is so low that they don’t even survive the wash so there is no chance of that second wear.

Consider everything that goes into making a single piece of clothing—for example: plenty of water, energy and petrochemicals, finishing and labor of each worker throughout making it. It’s shocking to think after all this, a piece of clothing might be worn once, maybe twice, and then thrown away so that they can follow fast fashion.

The fashion of throwing clothes away after use needs to change. Proudly post the same clothes you’ve worn before online. Get creative with mixing and matching, and borrow from friends for special times. The possibilities are endless so there’s no need to shop frequently.

【1】What is a sad thing according to the first paragraph?

A．Some girls like showing off on the Internet.

B．Some girls spend too much time on social media.

C．Some girls care too little about their appearances.

D．Some girls think posting the same clothes online again wrong.

【2】What leads to the girls’ wearing the same clothes only once?

A．Online shopping.

B．Parents’ pressure.

C．Clothes businesses.

D．Laziness to wash clothes.

【3】Why does the author mention how single piece of clothing is made?

A．To tell us we should treasure clothes.

B．To show fast fashion’s great influence.

C．To show the development of the clothes industry.

D．To tell us we should have our own dressing styles.

【4】What does the author want to do in the last paragraph?

A．Offer reasons.

B．Give suggestions.

C．Give encouragement.

D．Offer more information.

24、On a Saturday evening , I was waiting for my train and on the subway station's floor was a man just sitting there. I looked around and nobody stopped so I just went my way. After a few steps, I turned and asked him whether he needed help. He told me his house was one station further and he would only need to take the train there. So I reached for his hand to help him stand up.

He wanted to take the stairs but I feared that he would hurt himself since he seemed too weak to walk, so I asked him to take the elevator. Even though my mind was trying to turn the danger lights on, I put the thought that I should not go alone with a drunken man out of my mind and accompanied him on the elevator.

We arrived on the platform with no incidents. The man's knees seemed to soften, so I asked him to rest on a bench. While sitting there, he thanked me, telling me that I saved him. No, I said, I really did nothing; he saved himself as he walked on his own feet.

At the next station, we said our goodbyes. Before I knew it, he left 100 dollars and dashed out of the train. There was no way to give him back his money. I wanted to leave it on the seat, but a young woman who thought it belonged to me ran after me and gave me the note.

My initial reaction to getting that money was of shame and I even felt offended. Then I thought he just wanted to thank me, the best way he knew how. Now, my question is — what act of kindness shall I do with these 100 dollars?

【1】Why was the man sitting on the subway station's floor?

A．Because he wanted to go home.

B．Because he was seriously ill.

C．Because he was waiting for the train.

D．Because he was drunk.

【2】Seeing the money left by the man, the author first felt ________.

A．ashamed

B．grateful

C．delighted

D．frustrated

【3】How will the author possibly deal with the money?

A．Give it back.

B．Buy something favorable.

C．Give it to people in need.

D．Leave it on the seat.

【4】What can we infer from the passage?

A．I helped the man the moment I saw him.

B．I thought it unsafe to go alone with the drunken man at first.

C．I accompanied the man to take the stairs.

D．A young woman ran after me and gave me the note.

25、An interesting study found capuchin monkeys (僧帽猴), like humans, are guided by social emotions. Try paying one monkey with grapes and another with cucumbers for the _______ amount of work and you may be surprised at the results! The monkey who got the cucumbers will probably _______ working for you. He may even throw out the cucumbers, even though monkeys are usually _______ to receive them, says Sarah Brosnan, a psychology professor at Georgia State University.

That experiment by Brosnan and Frans de Wall published in 2003 in Nature was one of the first to show that animals may have an assessment for _______ — a moral sense that many researchers previously thought only humans possessed. Since then, many results have suggested that animals — particularly those that depend on _______ for their survival may have an inborn sense of justice.

Social animals, which are interdependent for a living, will _______ share rewards with others who worked toward the same goal. “The built-in sense didn’t develop first in humans. It’s possibly something that began in social species, and _______ to us.” Brosnan said in an interview.

One study _______ that some animals particularly the ones that hunt together divide up the rewards. Another study even finds that animals will occasionally deliver a better reward to a partner than they themselves _______. In research by Brosnan and her colleagues published in American Journal of Primatology, two capuchin monkeys had to work together to pull a plate of food to their cages. But before they began pulling, the monkeys had to decide which one would get a grape and which one would get an apple slice. ________ fighting over the grape or always letting the leading monkey eat it, the animals generally vary roles on the way, so they both earned some grapes and some apple slices, Brosnan found. In cases where the ________ monkey always got the good food, the other monkey were likely to give up participating. More often than not, it preferred to ________ a reward than be paid unfairly.

According to Brosnan, that tendency to share rewards fairly probably developed as a result of the way capuchins work together to hunt. “If we are hunting and I am not giving you much of the kill, you would be better off finding another ________,” she says.

However, interpreting animal behavior through human eyes can be ________, observes Marc Hauser, a Harvard psychology professor and evolutionary biologist. In the cucumber-grape study, for example, the monkeys could have ________ the cucumbers simply because they were annoyed that they didn’t get a grape once they saw it.
