22、People who give, live longer, studies have shown. Now, a new study by University of Michigan researchers shows that why people volunteer—not whether they volunteer—is what really counts.

For the study, Konrath and colleagues analyzed data collected in 2008 and 2012 aiming at the same random samples of 3,376 people. Overall, they found that just 2.3 percent of those who once worked as volunteers had died, compared to 4.3 percent of non-volunteers. They further found that how much people volunteered mattered as well—only 1.8 percent of regular volunteers died, compared with 2.5 percent of occasional volunteers.

But what really made a difference were people’s motives for volunteering. The researchers asked people to rate how important they found various reasons for volunteering, and they found that the more important people rated reasons such as feeling pity for people in need, the more likely they were to be alive. Those who rated motives related to personal benefit as more important were more likely to have died, and just as likely to die as those who didn’t volunteer at all. These reasons included volunteering because they enjoyed the social contact, to escape their own problems, or to explore their own strengths.

Konrath says the current findings suggest it may be a poor idea to encourage people to volunteer because it’s good for them. “Volunteering is increasingly being encouraged in schools and organizations. Some groups say that it’s okay to want benefits for yourself, and encourage people to think of volunteering as an exchange for personal interests. Some groups emphasize the health benefits received through volunteering.” Konrath added, “Of course, it’s reasonable for volunteers to expect benefits for themselves. But the potential health benefits of volunteering are significantly reduced if self-benefit becomes a person’s main motive”.

【1】What does the new study mainly find?

A．How we volunteer makes sense to others.

B．How often we volunteer makes a difference.

C．Whether we volunteer decides our well-being.

D．Why we volunteer has an impact on our health.

【2】How did the researchers do the research?

A．By doing experiments.

B．Through field research.

C．By analyzing statistics.

D．Through group discussion.

【3】Which of the following motives will probably contribute to a longer life?

A．To develop abilities.

B．To help the poor people

C．To make more friends.

D．To solve personal problems.

【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A．Practical suggestions on the further studies.

B．A further explanation of the current findings.

C．A reasonable doubt about the research results.

D．Potential applications of the research methods.

23、   Sea urchins(海胆) are small creatures , but what’s really remarkable about them is that they eat anything that happens to float by. They have really sharp teeth they use to rid rocks of algae(海藻)which makes them pretty valuable especially in places like Hawaii where algae are threatening the coral reefs. In the summer of 2019, 500,000 of them were used to deal with the algae.

The problem started when non-native algae were introduced to the ecosystem of Kaneohe Bay in the 1970s. Because they had no enemies, they ended up taking over the bay, according to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The algae blocked sunlight from reaching the coral, which in turn affected the local fish because they changed the chemistry of the water.

That’s when the NMFS turned to sea urchins that loved to devour the algae. But they had to grow to the size of a cherry tomato before they could be used. Since 2011, sea urchins have been grown and used to handle the algae problem. Some of the funds are available due to an unfortunate incident. In 2005, a ship was grounded on a shallow reef near Kaneohe Bay. When the ship was removed, 20 acres of reefs have been damaged. When there is environmental damage, the NMFS and other agencies receive funds from the wrongdoers and the funds are used to restore the damage. Some funds were spent on other projects like the sea urchins. The state of Hawaii began to grow the sea urchins. When they are large enough, divers carefully place them on the reef.

Algae isn’t the only thing that threatens the coral reefs. Climate change and the effects of fishing and tourism in the area also endanger the coral reefs. But turning to sea urchins instead of man-made solutions seems like the best way to go.

【1】Why are sea urchins regarded as outstanding creatures?

A.They are tiny but have teeth.

B.They can keep the ocean clean.

C.They can remove harmful algae.

D.They grow on coral reefs with algae.

【2】What happened after non-native algae arrived at Kaneohe Bay?

A.They helped the coral reefs to survive.

B.They spread to every corner of the bay.

C.They didn't fit in with the new surroundings.

D.They fought against other species to get food.

【3】Which word can replace the underlined word “devour” in paragraph 3?

A.Eat B.Block

C.Attack D.Attract

【4】What does the author suggest doing to save coral reefs?

A.Banning fishing and tourism. B.Relying on humans’ solutions.

C.Employing divers to handle algae. D.Letting nature take care of nature.

24、David Rees runs a very distinctive business. He charges customers $15 to sharpen their pencils to perfection, using a variety of tools.

I know what you’re thinking—is this a joke? The 39-year-old gets asked that question a lot. To clarify everything, he even created a special section on his website telling everyone he’s actually providing a real service.

You can supply your own pencil or you can have Rees sharpen one of his own favorite 2B pencils. After that, he mails it to you in a display tube with the shavings in a separate bag, and an authentic certificate which just happens to mention the pencil is so sharp as to be a dangerous object.

To achieve the desired result, the master sharpener uses all kinds of tools, including general sandpaper, pocket knives and even a special $ 450 sharpening machine. “It depends on what the customer wants to use his/her pencil for,” he says. That determines the most appropriate pencil-sharpening technique. Some customers buy pencils as inspirational symbols while others buy them because of their special memories of classic 2B pencils.

$15 to have a pencil sharpened is a bit expensive though, right? You’re not the only one who feels that way, and David’s unique business has really angered lots of people, who talk of inequality in America, saying it is so insane for the wealthy to pay $15 to sharpen a pencil. But others will say, “This is just our urge to put an end to the welfare state because new ideas arise along with the business.”

David admits his trade is sort of unusual. But there are those who actually value his service, as is proven by the over 500 orders he has gotten.

【1】How could David make money by sharpening pencils?

A．He invented new tools for the job.

B．He provided quality service for his customers.

C．He promoted his skill on his website.

D．He saved lots of time for other people.

【2】What can we infer from the words of David Rees in paragraph 4?

A．He provides personalized services.

B．He knows all kinds of pencil users.

C．He values ideas behind the pencils.

D．He always writes in pencil.

【3】What does the underlined word “insane” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A．Deliberate.

B．Rewarding.

C．Unreasonable.

D．Irresponsible.

【4】What seems to be the author’s attitude to David Rees’ trade?

A．It’s a waste of time and money.

B．It needs further improvement.

C．It’s awfully expensive.

D．It’s a fancy service.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写 的词数应为150左右。

I had never been more anxious in my life. I had just spent the last three endless hours trying to get to the airport so that I could travel home. Now, as I watched the bus driver set my luggage on the airport sidewalk, I realized that my anxiety had only just begun.

This was my first visit alone to the international terminal of the airport, and nothing was familiar. I couldn’t make sense of any of the signs. Where was the check-in counter? Where should I take my luggage? I had no idea where to go, feeling as if I were deaf and blind and stupid. I began to panic. What time was it? Where was my plane? I had to find help because I couldn’t be late!

I tried to ask a passing businessman for help, but my words all came out wrong. He just frowned and walked away. What had happened? I had been in this country for a whole semester, and I couldn’t even remember how to ask for directions. This was awful! Another bus arrived at the terminal, and the passengers came out carrying all sorts of luggage. Here was my chance! I could follow them to the right place, and I would not have to say a word.

I dragged my enormous suitcase behind me and followed the group. We finally reached the elevators. Oh, no! They all fit in it, but there was not enough room for me. I watched in despair as the elevator doors closed. I was abandoned again! I had no idea what to do next. I got on the elevator when it returned and stared at all the buttons. Which one could it be? I pressed button 3, because I thought I saw those passengers pressed 3, though it was no more than a quick glance. The elevator slowly climbed up to the third floor and came to a stop. There were no check-in counters! I looked around shyly, only to find an elderly man standing at the corner. He was an airport employee.

Paragraph 1:

Tears formed in my eyes as I saw the empty hall and realized that I would miss my plane. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

When I turned to thank him for all his help, he was gone. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
