21、The desire to be noticed by peers（同龄人）is a natural tendency. Your style – the way you dress up, the way you carry yourself, the trends you follow – plays a key role in helping your stand out from the others. 【1】 The following tips can help you.

1. Be yourself.

Why be a second-rate version of anybody else when you can be the first –rate version of yourself? Nothing will help you stand out of the crowd more than your own features because there can be only one you. Everyone has their own belief, their own way of thinking, their own experiences that shape their styles. However, self-doubt and fear of disapproval drive many to abandon their own ways and follow what everyone else is doing. 【2】

2. Keep an open mind.

Open-mindedness helps you see things from a different perspective, understand others, find opportunities, and learn from others. 【3】 There are several styles that you should explore and determine which suits your own personality. Nobody knows what fashion your are enthusiastic about. But you should be clearly aware of your own true feelings about it.

3. Keep up with the recent trends.

Fashion is always changing. 【4】 As society changes, so does fashion. Changing trends reflect the changes in people’s taste. Similarly, your sense of fashion changes as you gain more experiences in life. Keeping track of the latest fashion will help you redefine your style.

4. Wear your confidence.

Your attitude towards dressing can make a significant difference to how you look. You can wear a very beautiful dress, but if can’t carry it with confidence, it will not look good on you. 【5】 Don’t wear an uncomfortable dress just because everyone or your friend is wearing it. Remember, it’s okay to have your own style as long as you are confident with it.

A．Also, it tells a lot about your personality.

B．What worked yesterday may not work today.

C．Copying others will make you just another face in a crowd.

D．Having an open mind can be very helpful in defining your style.

E．On the other hand, even an average dress looks great on people who wear it confidently.

F．It is not absolutely necessary to follow every new trend, and you can enjoy the ones you like.

G．Simply following the fashion trends or wearing expensive clothes will not help you get a distinct style

22、Chemical Waste Can Be Recycled into a Range of Drugs and Fertilizers

More than 300 ways to convert widely available chemical waste into a range of drugs and fertilizers have been identified by a software program. The researchers behind the tool believe it will optimize the chemical industry and allow the recycling of by-products that would otherwise need to be stored.

Bartosz Grzybowski at US software and chemistry company Allchemy and his colleagues used their software, also known as Allchemy, to look for useful products from 189 small molecules that are regularly created as by-products of large-scale industrial processes around the world.【1】

The software created a vast database of all the possible combinations of chemicals and the processes that could be used to combine them. Running on a single high-end server, the program took about a month to calculate the hundreds of billions of combinations. These were then narrowed down to only those processes that led to the creation of drugs, fertilizers or other useful molecules.

Grzybowski says that all of the discovered processes could eventually have been found by humans, but the vast scale of possible processes made them incredibly hard to spot. 【2】 However, Grzybowski says that his favorite result was an antibiotic that can be produced from lactate, which comes from waste plastic bottles, and phenol, a by-product of coalmining. “I was hoping to find aspirin or something, but it’s actually much more interesting than that,” he says. “It actually solves the problem of circular chemistry, pretty much in an exhaustive way.”

【3】. He says that this software works in the other direction: it takes a list of available resources and finds all the possible uses for them. “This chemistry is pretty straightforward. The difficulty is in spotting the opportunity.” he says. “The building blocks are very simple, but when you start talking about 200 waste molecules, within one step of combinations you have 40,000 options.”

Grzybowski says he hopes that Allchemy will eventually lead to a “Tinder for molecules”. Chemical companies could put in details of all of their available waste products, other companies could list molecules they would like to have synthesized for a specific purpose, and third parties could bid to perform the waste-to-drug synthesis. 【4】

A．Among the discovered molecules were drugs to treat leprosy and heart disease.

B．But something that’s developed in the lab needs to be translated in a profitable way into a large pilot scale.

C．An additional 56 molecules that are commonly created from chemical waste during recycling processes were also included.

D．Identifying uses for chemical waste in the lab is useful, but scaling up that process may be more difficult.

E．Grzybowski had previously worked on projects to create new methods to synthesize specific molecules.

F．This would reduce waste from the global chemical supply chain and perhaps also lower the cost of drugs and other products.

23、Fun games and activities play all important role in making picnics enjoyable. Here are some examples.

Picnic Games for all Age Groups: Running and jumping races, playing balloons are some of the very popular picnic games for children. Grown ups in the picnic mood often enjoy taking part in children’s games too. While organizing picnic games that suit all age groups, think of all those going to the picnic and think of their preferences. Picnic games for grown ups can include playing frisbee (飞盘), ball games and other sports activities. Prepare playing cards and board games for those who may not be able to take part in active games.

Family picnic games: family picnics are for all the family members to get together and share some priceless moments with each other. When on a family picnics, spend quality time with your family members, chat with them and talk about what you have not spoken about due to your busy lives. Playing together helps you refresh yourself and your relationship with your near ones.

Company Picnic Games: Company picnics are team-building events, organized with the purpose of nurturing（培养）team spirit in the company and developing in them a sense of belongings towards the organization.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

What Causes Déja Vu?

It’s a frightening feeling: You walk into a place you know you’ve never been before but are overwhelmed by a sense of familiarity-a memory you can’t quite reach. Has this all happened before? Most people experience ‘this sensation, known as déjà vu, at some point in their lives. It’s a hard feeling to study, though, because it tends to arise spontaneously and be shaken off easily.

Déjà vu means “already seen” in French, a term possibly coined by French philosopher Émile Boirac. In a 2009 study, Cognitive psychologist Anne Cleary of Colorado State University and her colleagues found that viewing these sneakily similar scenes was more likely to cause feelings of déjà vu than viewing dissimilar scenes-suggesting that perhaps there is some environmental trigger for the brain to call out, “Hey, I recognize that!” even when it’s never seen the scene before.

While Cleary’s research shows that a slight familiarity can result in déjà vu, Akira Robert O’Connor, a cognitive psychologist at the University of St. Andrews says, in spontaneous déjà vu cases, it’s quite possible that the familiarity feeling is random. Supporting this random-misfire hypothesis is the fact that young people actually experience more déjà vu than older people. Younger brains are a little more excitable, more likely to fire more quickly rather than holding back, O’Connor says.

Older people may also be less adept (擅长的)fact-checkers when false feelings of familiarity arise, says Chris Moulin, a cognitive neuropsychologist at the Grenoble Alpes University. Older adults still recognize such false familiarity. “It’s not perhaps that older adults are not generating false familiarity, ” Moulin says. “It’s just that they don’t have, anymore, that certainty that what they’re experiencing is false. ”

This is a normal part of aging, not the conflation (合并)of déjà vu with reality that people with dementia (老年痴呆症)may experience. So enjoy the feeling of having felt it all before while it lasts, Generation Z.
