21、Nowadays, girls are so mean to each other. Many girls are becoming the victims of the harmful behaviors of the female bully.

Emma Tracey was a popular 17-year-old and a well-liked athlete who had already won a soccer scholarship to college. But none of that stopped Emma from becoming the target of online girl on girl bullying (欺凌). Emma began to receive hundreds of online unpleasant comments via the latest social networking site called www.formspring.com.

In March 2011, Emma committed suicide and although all agreed that the online bother was not the single factor that led to Emma’ death, everyone did agree that it was a contributory factor.

Unfortunately, Emma’ story is not unique. A 2010 study conducted by the Cyberbullying Research Center states “Cyberbullying victims were almost twice as likely to have attempted suicide compared to youth who had not experienced cyberbullying. Girls are 57% more likely to be victims of aggressive cyberbullying and 92% more likely to be the criminals.”

Suicide is obviously the extreme and no one can minimize the tragedy of it. However, there are other damages that occur as a result of aggressive bullying. It can damage self-confidence and lead to feelings of worthlessness, and also increase social isolation and make victims become withdrawn, depressed, anxious, and unsafe. So what causes girls to be so unkind towards each other?

A term known as relational aggression may best describe the cause of girl on girl bullying. It starts with a clique (派系) usually led by a girl with a high level of social status and popularity. In order not to lose her position, she will control girls within the clique and take action if she feels threatened. At the leader’s directive the girls within the clique will spread rumors and lies and annoy other girls continuously.

The bullying starts at school but will quickly go to cyberbullying due to anonymity (匿名) and lack of punishment. Girls will easily do so in the anonymity of the Internet. Finally the cause will be summarized as the unsafety and jealousy of one girl and the twisted loyalty of members within her clique. Underneath the confident exterior (外表) of a female bully lie desperate unsafety.

【1】The example of Emma Tracey is given to show .

A. popular youth are not easy to become the target of bullying

B. today’s youth don’t like to study any more

C. suicide is a serious problem among youth

D. cyberbullying is quite common among teenagers

【2】The bullying will quickly go to cyberbullying mainly because   .

A. it’s free to post comments online

B. the bullies don’t have to give their names online

C. it will not attract much attention

D. it will not affect their real life

【3】Which of the following is NOT the cause of bullying?

A. Lack of safety

B. The twisted loyalty of members within a clique

C. Jealousy of others

D. Trying to be friendly

【4】We can infer from the last paragraph that a female bully   .

A. has strong self-confidence

B. has strong leadership skills

C. is actually weak inside

D. is usually good at study

22、We all know the saying“beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, and the fact that there are a whole lot of strange—looking people out there happily loved up would suggest that it’s true．But scientists have now performed the biggest test so far，analyzing the preferences of more than 35，000 people，and have shown that we really do all have a unique “type”．

In fact，the study showed that even identical twins，who share nearly l00 percent of their DNA, aren’t attracted to the same people，suggesting that it’s our experiences，more than our genes，that determine whether we find someone hot or not．

“We estimate that an individual’s aesthetic(审美的)preferences for faces agree about 50 percent，and disagree about 50 percent，with others，’’explained Laura Germine from Harvard University，and Jeremy Wilmer of Wellesley College，lead researchers of the project．

“This fits with the phenomenon that on one hand，fashion models can make a fortune with their good looks，while on the other hand，friends can endlessly debate about who is attractive and who is not，”they added．“Of course，there are some things that people seem to find pretty much universally pleasant to look at，eg，most people prefer faces that are symmetric(对称的)．”But after analyzing the facial preferences of more than 35，000 volunteers, the researchers found that，it was experiences that seemed to be what shape the “eye of the beholder”．And those experiences are highly specific to each individual．

So in other words，it’s not your family，where you grew up，or how much money your parents make that shape who you’re attracted to，it’s things like the magazines you read, the social activities you’ve take part in，and even your first boyfriend or girlfriend，that determine these preferences．

【1】What does the underlined word “identical” in Para 2 mean?

A．unique       B．same

C．distinguishing  D．considerate

【2】Why does the writer talk about the “fashion model”?

A．To tell us they own beautiful faces which help them earn money．

B．To emphasize they have symmetric faces which people widely enjoy．

C．To show people’s preference for faces partly agree and disagree．

D．To explain the role genes play in people’s preference．

【3】Which of the following statements agrees with the theme of the passage?

A．Symmetric faces look beautiful in eastern culture but not in western culture．

B．The more beautiful a person looks，the more likely he is to get a success．

C．A person’s aesthetic preferences for beauty will remain the same in the future．

D．Some think the movie star Huang Xiaoming handsome while some don’t think so．

【4】What is the title of the passage?

A．Gene preference or social preference?

B．Difficult to meet every taste．

C．Beauty is in the eye of beholder．

D．Love me，love my dog?

23、The earth is a mysterious place that never stops to amaze. There are many places completely unimaginable. The incapability to understand the real story behind some of these phenomena draws many people.

Blood Falls, Antarctica

How is it that the coldest and driest place on the planet has a blood-red waterfall pouring down slowly into the McMurdo Dry Valleys, some of the most extreme desert lands on Earth? What causes the mysterious flow was only recently discovered in a study. Scientists believed for many years red algae(红藻)gave it the unusual color. But now research has shown that iron oxide(氧化物)is responsible for it. The waterfall even contains strange bacterial life forms.

Magnetic Hill, Moneton, New Brunswick

Be very careful if you choose to drive to the bottom of this hill. Stories about what happens there have been around since early 1900s. As impossible as it sounds, your car will start to roll uphill. “And it doesn’t just work on cars-vans, trucks and even tour buses roll upward. ” according to Tourism New Brunswick.

Racetrack Playa, Death Valley, California

Located in a remote valley between the Cottonwood and Last Chance Ranges, Racetrack Playa is a place of real beauty and mystery. The Racetrack is a dry lakebed, best known for its strange moving rocks. It looks like they “sailed” through the valley. Although no one has actually seen the rocks move, the long moving tracks left behind in the mud surface of the Playa prove their activity. The most logical explanation so far is that ice forms covering the stones, causing them to move.

24、   Ant Forest, a green initiative by the world’s leading payment and lifestyle platform Alipay, received the “U.N. Champions of the Earth” award, the UN’s highest environmental honor. It was given to Ant Forest for motivating half a billion people to adopt an eco-friendly and greener lifestyle, greatly contributing to ecological protection with the help of digital technology.

Alipay achieved this by inspiring its users to do environmentally-friendly things, such as walking, using public transportation, going paperless in the office and more to earn “green energy points”. These points can then be used to water and grow their own virtual young trees. After the virtual young trees have grown up on line, Ant Forest will plant real trees somewhere in China.

The number of Ant Forest users has reached 350 million, reducing 3 million tons of carbon dioxide. “Such programs are quite attractive to me. I feel satisfied to see a real tree planted just by doing some simple things such as riding bicycles and buying tickets online,” said an interviewee.

This initiative of Ant Forest is in line with the Chinese government’s strategy of a “Green Economy”. The country is taking aggressive actions in expanding its green coverage. Now, its efforts are paying off, with improved biodiversity and a healthier economic growth. Rare animal species have been spotted and forest parks are now popular attractions of tourism.

The planet is at a critical point which could result in natural disasters. It seems clear that unless governments, businesses and people form a focused team, it’s difficult to stop global warming. Fortunately, Ant Forest shows that it is possible to make joint efforts while relying on digital technology. And more initiatives are using technology to contribute to a sustainable future of the planet.
