21、 Until now, little research has been conducted on the association between parents' friendships and the emotional well-being of their adolescent children. A new study from researchers at the University of Missouri suggests that mothers' friendships with other adults can impact their adolescent children's relationships with their own friends, particularly the negative aspects of these relationships such as conflict and opposition.
Gary. C. Glick, a doctoral candidate at MU, and Amanda Rose, professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences, studied the development of friendships and other peer relationships during adolescence and their impact on psychological adjustment. They found that adolescents may mimic the negative characteristics of their mothers' relationships in their own peer-to-peer friendships suggesting that mothers can serve as role models for their adolescents during formative years.
"Mothers who display high levels of conflict with friends may signal to their children that such behavior is acceptable, or even standard in friendships," Glick said. "Additional findings suggest that adolescents take for granted their reactions to their mothers' conflict with adult friends which may lead to anxiety and depression."
Previous research of this type focused on primary-aged children, but MU researchers wanted to expand their study to focus on the formative adolescent years. Youth ranging in age from 10 to 17 and their mothers were surveyed separately to measure regarded positive and negative friendship qualities in both groups. Results showed that positive friendship qualities were not always imitated by adolescents; however, negative and unfriendly relationship characteristics exhibited by mothers were much more likely to be copied by the youth studied. "We know that conflict is a normal part of any relationship---whether it is a relationship between a parent and a child, or a mother and her friends---and we're not talking physical fights but oral conflicts," Glick said. "But being exposed to high levels of such conflict generally isn't going to be good for children. Parents should consider whether they are good role models for their children especially where their friends are concerned. When things go wrong, parents should talk with their children about how to act with their friends, but more specifically, how not to act."
【1】The word "mimic" (in Para.2)means ______ .
A. succeed B. discover
C. possess D. imitate
【2】In comparison with the previous study, the new study expanded ______ .
A. research goals B. research themes
C. research subjects D. research approaches
【3】According to Glick, parents should instruct their children ______ .
A. how to put an end to a wrong friendship
B. how to deal with a troubled friendship
C. how to avoid any conflict with friends
D. how to establish a sincere friendship
【4】What does the new study find? ______
A. Teens mirror negative features of mom's friendships.
B. Aggressive mothers ruin their children's friendship.
C. Conflicts and opposition form children's characters.
D. Parent-child relationship affects children's growth.
22、 When early humans killed a mammoth, how did they keep the meat before they could eat it all? We don’t know; maybe they didn’t. But perhaps they preserved their mammoth steaks in salt. However, it is hard to know for sure. We do know for certain that by 3,000 years ago, the Babylonians, Egyptians, and Chinese were all experts at salting. They used salt to preserve food.
For thousands of years, salting was a common way to preserve food. But for a long time, no one knew why salt worked. Then, in the 1800s, a Frenchman named Louis Pasteur discovered the secret: bacteria. What does salt have to do with bacteria? First, bacteria need moisture to grow and multiply. Salt pulls moisture out of food, so the bacteria no longer have enough moisture. Besides, salt is poisonous to many bacteria. If you cover food with salt, bacteria outside the food die before they get in, and bacteria already in the food are poisoned by the salt.
So how do you preserve food with salt? For meat or fish, you pour on a layer of salt, then rub it in well. Hams are often made this way. Another way is to alternate layers of food and salt in a big container. The salt will draw the moisture out of the food, creating a brine that the food sits in. You’ll need to make sure the brine completely covers the food; any food left exposed to the air will spoil. If you preserve cabbage this way, you’ll make sauerkraut.
How well salt preserves food depends on how much is used. The more salt, the longer the food is preserved. Unfortunately, using enough salt to preserve food for a very long time can cause problems. It can make food tough. It can destroy flavor. And, of course, it can make the food too salty to eat, which is harmful to our health.
Today, even though we no longer rely on salt to keep our food fresh, we haven’t lost our taste for salt. We don’t want to give up our bacon, salami, and watermelon pickles!
【1】Why are examples of the ancient people mentioned in the first paragraph?
A.To make an introduction to the topic.
B.To explain our ancestors were very clever.
C.To tell us the ancient people had a lot of food to eat.
D.To show the ancient people were good at preserving food.
【2】Which of the following will the author probably agree with?
A.If you want to make a ham, you should keep it in a brine.
B.If you want to make sauerkraut, you’d better pour on a layer of salt and rub it.
C.To keep our food longer, you should put as much salt on the food as possible.
D.People needn’t give up salty food completely as long as they control the amount.
【3】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To explain how the ancient people preserve food.
B.To tell us how salt works in preserving food.
C.To persuade people to give up salty food.
D.To introduce the way of preserving food with salt.
23、As Plastic Chokes the Ocean, Technology Can Help
Some 8 million tons of non-recyclable (不可回收的) plastic end up in the ocean each year. At an alarming rate, the seas may have more plastic than fish by the middle of the century. 【1】
Require a global solution to a global problem. 【2】 The developed countries and most of developing countries show their leadership in this process by setting goals, encouraging other member states, and offering support for poor countries.
【3】 Although they are helpful to protect clean water and air, as it is known, non-recyclable plastic is widely used in the markets. Therefore, non-recyclable plastic still can be bought in our daily life. Its disappearance needs much more time and efforts.
Pay more attention to the new studies on plastic and technologies. Some of researchers are aiming to make replacements for plastic. 【4】 For example, “interceptors” can remove river pollution before it reaches the ocean.
Expect more responsibility from manufacturers. 【5】 As a start, they should be encouraged to simplify complex packaging. And their working with world governments will support poorer nations to improve waste collection and landfill (垃圾场) management.
The world doesn’t have enough time in trying to solve the problem. The sooner these efforts start, the better.
A.Strengthen the connection between countries.
B.Others are doing more research on new technologies.
C.Nearly 200 countries agreed to ban plastic pollution.
D.Establish production limits for non-recyclable plastic.
E.They should care about different laws on plastic in the poorer countries.
F.They are well aware of how to reduce the harms their products cause.
G.Thus it’s necessary to take immediate action to stop that.
24、 Grays Peak (山顶) in Colorado rises 14,278 feet above sea level, too high for trees to grow toward the top, yet there are plenty of bushes and rocks.
It was August 2018, and Wedelstedt, 56, was on her way back down the path with three friends. A storm was coming, and they were anxious to get off the mountain. When they approached a rocky drop of a couple of feet, Wedelstedt decided to jump over it. She landed on her left leg. Then she heard the snap (咔嚓声).
Every step after that was great pain. Before long, she had to stop. As one friend ran down to get help, a number of other hikers, all strangers, attempted to help Wedelstedt down the narrow path by walking on either side of her to support her weight, but that proved slow and dangerous.
Finally, one hiker, Matt, asked her, “How do you feel about a fireman’s carry?” Before she knew it, he had lifted her over his shoulder. “Now, I’m not tiny,” says Wedelstedt, a former college basketball star. Matt clearly couldn’t carry her all the way down by himself. So six hikers and one of her friends took turns carrying her while she tried to make light of a difficult situation. Three hours and two rock-strewn (遍布) miles later, this human conveyor belt finally met the doctors, who took Wedelstedt to the hospital.
She has mostly recovered from her hike, but Wedelstedt knows she’ll never shake one thing from that day: the memory of the band of strangers who came to her rescue. “I am still in awe.” says Wedelstedt.
【1】What happened to Wedelstedt while climbing down the mountain?
A.She was caught in a heavy storm. B.She injured her leg.
C.She was blocked by rocks and bushes. D.She got lost the the mountain.
【2】How did Matt help Wedelstedt?
A.By taking her directly to the hospital. B.By calling in firemen.
C.By carrying her down the mountain. D.By giving her first aid.
【3】What is Wedelstedt's attitude towards the band of strangers?
A.Respectful. B.Ambiguous. C.Sympathetic. D.Tolerant.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Narrow Paths B.Lifelong friendship
C.Dangerous Hikes D.Peak Performance

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。
My husband has been out of town for work this past week. When he travels, he typically is only gone for a day or two, but this time it was a few days longer. He was set to come home last night, but as he boarded the plane his fight was announced canceled and he had to return to the hotel to wait for the next fight. He learned very quickly the city was struggling due to high crime rate. He was not able to get a Uber or taxi at 4:30 a.m. to get to the airport for his flight due to workers being fearful of their lives. When I told my kids dad was not going to be home that night, they were both upset.
My husband was the head coach of my 5-year old’s baseball team. They had a game the next morning and my husband was trying so badly to make it home in time. The thought of possibly missing our son’s game rally made him mad. He wanted to be there because this was their thing and he didn’t want to let him or the other boys down.
A young man by the name of Asher, who worked at the hotel my husband stayed at, overheard my husband’s dilemma. He realized he was not able to get transportation to the airport. This young man offered to wake up and get my husband to the airport at 4:30 a.m. My husband was in shock -a complete stranger would offer to do such a big act of kindness. When he called me to tell me the possible ride, he was so hopeful. This young man honored his word and brought my husband to the airport safely.
I didn’t want to get my son’s hopes up, so I told him, “Dad is trying to get home for your game but I am not sure whether he will make it.” That morning, on the way to the baseball field, both my kids looked up in the sky the entire ride to the field and pointed at planes in the sky saying, “Maybe that’s dad’s plane.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
