21、Before uploading a photo of ourselves to social media, chances are that we’ll use an app to smooth our skin, make our eyes look bigger, and lips fuller. With a couple of taps on our mobile phone, we can get a quick fix and present the “best” version of ourselves to the world. However, the problem is, when we simply edit our imperfections away, we’re also changing the way we look at ourselves.
Last month, researchers published the article Selfies—Living in the Era of Filtered (过滤的) Photographs. The article analysed photo editing apps’ bad influences on people’s self-respect and their possibility to cause appearance anxieties. The researchers also warned that such apps make it difficult to tell the difference between reality and fantasy. “These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty,” the article reads.
In the past, people may have compared their looks to those of famous people. But for today’s young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media. “From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms where their feelings of self-worth can be based purely on the number of likes and followers that they have, which is linked to how good they look,” British cosmetic doctor Tijion Esho told The Independent. This is why many young people suffer an identity trouble when it comes to appearance.
“Now you’ve got this daily comparison of your real self to this fake self that you present on social media,” Renee Engeln, a professor of psychology, told the HuffPost website. Engeln further pointed out that when people spend too much time making such comparisons, they may become “beauty sick” and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like. “Because between you and the world is a mirror. It’s a mirror that travels with you everywhere. You can’t seem to put it down,” she told The Washington Post. So when we look in a real mirror, we shouldn’t think to ourselves, “Do I look as good as myself in the filtered photos?” Instead, we should think, “I feel good; I have my health.”
【1】Before uploading a photo to social media, we will probably _________.
A.have an operating to make our eyes look bigger
B.use some cream to smooth our skin
C.use an app to fix our photo
D.edit our perfections away
【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A.In many ways, photo editing apps are beneficial to people.
B.Photo editing apps are likely to cause people’s anxieties about their appearance.
C.Photo editing apps can make people more beautiful.
D.Photo editing apps help people judge realistic beauty.
【3】When it comes to appearance, why do many young people suffer an identity trouble?
A.Because they compare their looks to those of famous people.
B.Because beauty standards are set by social media.
C.Because their feelings of self-worth depend on their own likes and dislikes.
D.Because their feelings of self-worth depend on their appearance.
【4】According to Engeln, what should we do?
A.We should feel good about what we actually look like.
B.We should spend more time making comparison of our real self to fake self.
C.We should take a mirror with us everywhere.
D.We should try to look as good as ourselves in the filtered photos.
22、Bamboo is one of the nature's most surprising plants. Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.
Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant that grew almost 1.5 meters in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo that grow around the world on both mountains and plains (平原).
Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green.
Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for building new buildings. As a matter of fact, the cables (绳索) that hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan are made of bamboo. The bridge has been in use for more than 1,000 years, and is still holding strong.
In Africa, engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap ways to find water because they have no money,and their fields often die from no rain and no water. It seems that bamboo is one of the best things they can use. Bamboo pipes and drills (钻) can help to make the poor thirsty fields to be watered.
【1】How is bamboo like grass?
A.It is thin and easy to cut.
B.It grows everywhere.
C.It grows quickly after its cut short.
D.It is short and green.
【2】The sentence “while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across” means “Some other bamboo plants may grow to be very ________.”
A.short

C.thick
D.tall
【3】From the text we know ________.
A.most people call bamboo plant trees
B.bamboo plant may grow 4.5 meters in three days
C.the bamboo plant changes its colors when it grows
D.a bridge held by bamboo cable was built thousands of years ago
【4】Why did the engineers teach the poor farmers in Africa to make use of bamboo?
A.Because it is cheap.
B.Because it is colorful.
C.Because it drills fast.
D.Because it is used by Asians.
23、Dear editor( 编辑),
Can't your newspaper do something about the custom (习惯) of hitchhiking?
A short time ago, on a car travel I counted at least 50 people standing beside the road, asking for rides. Many of them were young women.
Don't they understand how dangerous it is to get into the car driven by a stranger? How much do they know about the driver? Is he a good driver or not? They know nothing!
Many of these young hitchhikers may come from good families. Don't their parents teach them anything about the world? I always taught my children not to talk to strangers. I never let them take rides from people they didn't know.
Isn't there enough crime (犯罪) today without asking for trouble by hitchhiking? On the other hand, hitchhiking may bring some traffic trouble. Don't you think what I said is true?

24、Can eating a chocolate bar every day really prevent age-related memory loss? No. But a new research shows that large amounts of flavones(黄酮), substances found in cocoa, tea and some kinds of vegetables, may improve age-related memory failure.
Dr. Scott Small is a professor of neurology (神经学) at Columbia University in New York City. He is the lead writer of a research paper describing the effects of cocoa flavones on brain activity. His study involved 37 volunteers aged between 50 and 69. Researchers gave them a high-level flavones drink made from cocoa beans or a low-level flavones drink. For a period of three months, some subjects got 900 milligrams of flavones a day. The others got 10 milligrams of flavones each day. Brain imaging and memory tests were given to each study subject before and after the study. Dr. Small says that the subjects who had the high-level flavones drink showed much improvement on memory tests.
The researchers warn that more work is needed to be done because this study was performed only on a small group. Dr. Joann Manson is the lead researcher of a four-year study involving 18,000 adults. This study will use flavones capsules. The study subjects will be divided into two groups and will take two pills per day. The capsules used will all look the same. But one group's capsules will contain flavones, while the other group will take capsules made of an inactive substance, or placebo(安慰剂).
Dr. Manson says it's not necessary for people to start eating more chocolate, because 3 persons would have to eat a huge amount of chocolate to get the same level of flavones given to the rest subjects. He adds many manufacturers have planned to remove the flavones from their chocolate products. Similarly, Dr. Manson says a cocoa-based flavones extract(提取)may be developed in the future But he says that more studies are needed to see how much flavones is good for our health.
【1】What was done to the subjects after Dr. Small's study?
A. They were asked to take a high-level flavones drink.
B. They were given brain imaging and memory tests.
C. They were given capsules containing flavones.
D. They were asked to take two pills of flavones capsules per day.
【2】What's the similarity of the two experiments?
A. Both use high-level flavones capsules.
B. The number of the subjects is the same.
C. Drinks and placebos are used in both experiments.
D. The subjects are divided into two groups in both experiments.
【3】Why will Dr. Manson carry out the four-year study?
A. To carry out the experiment further.
B. To prove the first experiment is wrong.
C. To test how much flavones can improve our memory.
D. To show eating chocolate is better to improve memory.
【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. It's not necessary for us to eat chocolate.
B. In the future we can get flavones without eating chocolate.
C. The more we eat flavones, the better our health will be.
D. It's easy for people to get the same level of flavones given to the test subjects.

26、阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
Onions are known for flavoring those delicious dishes, but did you know that they were also nutritious? It's true! These flavorful onions contain a ton of nutrients that are important for our overall well-being. Let’s see more about onion nutrition and why they're so good for you.
Here are the nutrition facts for onions, according to the USDA. Onions are very low in calories and do have a little bit of carbohydrates and natural sugars — that's why they get sweet when you cook them. Here's what you get in one medium onion.
Calories | 44 | Cholesterol | 0mg | Sugars | 5g |
Total Fat | 0g | Sodium | 4mg | Protein | 1g |
Saturated Fat | 0g | Total Carbohydrates | 10g | Calcium | 25mg |
Trans Fat | 0g | Dietary Fiber | 2g | Potassium | 160mg |
Onions contain several vitamins and minerals and they have been shown to promote health in many ways. In ancient times, onions were used for food when food sources got low, and for medicinal purposes to treat illness such as headaches, colds, and heart disease.
Onions contain anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce the attack of high blood pressure. One of powerful antioxidants that is responsible for this health benefit is quercetin. Quercetin is a flavonoid antioxidant that has been associated with decreasing the risk of heart disease.
For centuries, onions have been used to fight off dangerous bacteria(细菌). Quercetin, is also responsible for this bacteria-fighting benefit. According to recent studies, the growth of bacteria, like H. pylori and MRSA were controlled when they were paired with quercetin taken from yellow onions.
Research indicates that onions may help people with diabetes(糖尿病) lower their blood sugar. This is due to the sulfur compounds found in onions, specifically S-methylcysteine and quercetin. These compounds have been associated with regulating one’s blood sugar.
Eat an onion. Well, maybe not a whole onion at one sitting, but definitely try adding them to your next recipe.
