22、   Picture yourself at a crowded airport departure gate. Your flight is 20 minutes late. The woman on your left is noisily eating something that smells awful.The man to your right is still braying into his cellphone, and the traveler next to him is preparing to kill time with...wait, is that a toenail clipper?

Unless you are saintly or unconscious, a few things in that description-on many things, or all the things-are likely to really bug you. We know an annoyance when we experience it. But what makes something annoying? And does research of from any advice for prevent life's annoyances from making our heads explode? The answers to those questions are: no. Did even one university create a Department of Annoyance Science...or offer a major in this universal emotion? No. Nothing.

Then what makes something annoying? It must be harmful but not physically. A housefly buzzing around your head is unpleasant but it won't kill you. Also, it must be unpredictable and intermittent. The loud ticking of an a arm clock or the odor of a cat litter box may at first be annoying, but with constant exposure overtime, it ceases to be noticeable. Psychologists' term for this gradual tolerance of a stimulus is habituation.Yet when an unpleasant noise or smell comes and goes, it becomes annoying each time it shows up.

Finally, to be truly annoying, something has to persist for an uncertain period of time.A fight that's delayed an hour is a bother, but tolerable, so long as it really is just an hour. A fight that's delayed and delayed and delayed, with no explanation and no end in sight, is extremely annoying. The intermittent nature of annoyances makes them hard(if not impossible) to anticipate and thus to prepare a defense against.If you know you're going to best stuck in traffic, you might be able to accept it or bring along a distraction. But when the slowdown is unexpected, it gets to you before you can stop yourself.

An interesting thing about annoyances is how they appear to change over time. A decade ago, our research led us to conclude that one of the most annoying things in the world was listening to someone else's loud cell phone conversation. We hypothesized that the reason it was so annoying is that our brains naturally tend to paint a complete picture of reality, but when you only hear half of a conversation, that's not possible. Then, cell phone conversations seemed annoying only to the people not on the phone. Today it's the call recipients that seem to be getting annoyed. I'm not talking about receiving a robocall. I'm talking about the 20-something who recently told me that an unexpected call, even from a close friend; is annoying, The thinking seems to be, Why call when a text will do? Or even, You should have, texted to ask if you could call...

I've thought a lot about what makes people, things, and situations annoying, and what any of us might do to immunize ourselves against becoming annoyed. The answer's actually surprisingly simple: All you have to do is

23、   The world is a greener place than it was 20 years ago. Recent NASA satellites data(2000—2017) have shown that human activities in China and India dominate this greening of the planet, thanks to ambitious tree-planting programmes in China and intensive agriculture(集约农业) in both countries.

The researchers from Boston University found that global green leaf area has increased by 5 percent in the new century, an area equal to all of the Amazon rainforest. China alone accounts for 25% of the global net increase in leaf area with only 6.6% of global vegetated area. China's contribution comes in large part from its programmes to conserve and expand forests, taking up about 42 percent of the greening. The greening from farmlands in China is about 32%, but that in India is about 82%.

Rama Nemani, a research scientist at NASA's Ames Research Centre and a co-author of the study said, 'When the greening of the Earth was first observed, we thought it was due to a warmer, wetter climate and fertilisation from the added carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. But with data from NASA satellites, scientists realised that humans are also contributing, which was all against our expectations. '

Nemani sees a positive message in the new findings. 'Once people realise there is a problem, they tend to fix it, ' he said. 'In the 1970s and 1980s in India and China, the situation around vegetation loss was not good. In the 1990s, people realised it, and today things have improved. Humans are incredibly resilient. That is what we see in the satellite data. '

However, the researchers rang bells as well. They said that the gain in global greenness did not necessarily make up for the loss of natural vegetation in regions like Brazil and Indonesia.

【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.The decreasing size of the Amazon rainforest.

B.China's bigger contribution to global greening.

C.Total global green leaf area in the new century.

D.China's programmes to conserve and expand forests.

【2】What surprised scientists regarding global greening?

A.Human activities. B.The level of fertilisation.

C.A warmer and wetter climate. D.Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

【3】What does the underlined word 'resilient' probably mean?

A.Good at making programmes. B.Suitable for analysing data.

C.Able to make corrections. D.Active in planting trees.

【4】What does the last paragraph imply?

A.It is urgent to protect global natural resources.

B.Much remains to be done for global greenness.

C.Brazil and Indonesia lose most of their vegetation.

D.Global greenness needs all countries to work together.

24、   Me? On the Internet? My three daughters were crazy. They knew I hated the computer. Each of them had tried to teach me how to use it. Two of them even came up with the idea of “Mom on Match,” which I immediately rejected. Did they really think I, at age eighty-seven, was going to find a date with some old man that way? Some had told me earlier about the criminals out there who prey on older women like me. I wanted no part of that nonsense. I didn't care if I was Internet iliterate.

But they wouldn't give up. So, one night, when I felt very tired and wanted to shut them up, I reluctantly agreed to let them put me on Match. com. I didn't have to do anything. They did it all and then instructed me on how to use it. I didn't take a single note.

About a month later, all three girls wanted to see the results I'd received from Match. com. None existed! They found out then that I hadn't used it. So the one who lived closest took over. She got on the computer, found a gentleman who hadn't given up when I didn't reply on Match earlier, and answered him. After talking on the phone for two weeks, I reluctantly agreed to meet him for lunch. Surprisingly, I found that we had much in common, so we continued to meet, had dinner dates, enjoyed ballroom dancing and went to football games. Feeling comfortable with each other, we began seeing each other more.

Then, one evening, a surprise proposal came in the middle of a dance floor. I love surprises, but I wasn't ready for that. At our age we had to address possible challenges for the future. However, with time passing, we grew even closer together. Our small wedding took place a year later. Now, almost two years later, we still feel like newlyweds and have recommended Match. com to others. And, yes, I use the computer constantly these days, often to write down such stories as this一which, I admit to my daughters, is a lot of fun.

【1】Why did the mum refuse to accept the online dating?

A．She showed no interest in any affairs online.

B．She was iliterate, not knowing how to type.

C．She cared much about her daughters' nonsense.

D．She felt there was not a gentleman online.

【2】What does her meeting the gentleman on Match. com imply?

A．Match websites are not reliable.

B．Her daughter's effort paid off.

C．She didn't have much wealth to live on.

D．She had a clear head about her future life.

【3】How does the old mum evaluate her marriage at an old age?

A．A good bargain.

B．A ridiculous love.

C．A happy choice.

D．A crazy decision.

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。

It all began when my younger brother, Chris, and I went over to Uncle Howard’s for Thanksgiving. When we finally got to my uncle’s, Chris and I went outside to see if Uncle Howard needed help with anything. Since Chris was only nine, he got the easier job of cleaning up the watering cans. I was twelve, old enough to help load the wheelbarrow (手推车). But we still found time to ask Uncle Howard a lot of questions about turkeys. He must have been impressed, because when we were finished, he winked at my dad and handed me one turkey egg.

“You kids put this under a hatching hen,” he said, “and in twenty-five days, you’ll have a fine turkey!” Chris was so excited that he nearly dropped the egg on the way home. Dad put the egg under an old hen, and every day Chris and I would check to see if it had hatched yet. Twenty-five days seemed like forever. Finally, on the twenty-sixth day, Chris and I walked into the coop (鸡舍) after school to find the old hen scratching on the floor. Behind her was one ball of fluff (绒毛), falling over its feet and looking sort of confusion. When it got older, we could tell that it was a tom. We named it Timothy.

Timothy grew and grew, dashing towards the feed we threw out. He liked to wander in the woods and find tasty berries and weed seeds. Mom kept telling us not to get too attached to Timothy, because we were going to have him for Thanksgiving. But we never paid too much attention to what that really meant.

Then, one day toward the end of October, Dad gave Chris and me instructions. “I want you to start giving him com (玉米) along with his regular feed,” he said. “We want a nice, thick-fleshed bird for Thanksgiving.” After Dad turned and walked away, Chris's face began to wrinkle, just as it does before he starts to cry.

注意：

1．续写词数为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

I comforted Chris, saying we could hide Timothy where people couldn't find him.
