21、   When I was kid, I’d often come downstairs for breakfast and find my grandmother in the kitchen talking to herself, often going over what she was going to do that day. I thought it was the strangest thing. 【1】

Back then, I thought healthy people didn’t talk aloud when nobody else was around, did they? 【2】 It is a healthy, widespread behavior among children and adults. Research suggests the practice is most beneficial when it combines thought and action. Talking to yourself, when employed in the proper context, can even energize you mentally. Encouragement helps a person gain self-confidence and self-esteem, which contribute to success.

A study published in Psychology of Sport and Exercise had 72 tennis players take part in five rounds of play: one baseline assessment, three training sessions, and a final round. 【3】. Though both groups followed the same training program, only the experimental one was asked to practice self-talk. By the final assessment, the experimental group showed heightened self-confidence and reduced anxiety. The self-talkers also improved their game.

【4】 An in-depth analysis looked at the validity of the self talk strategy for improving athletic achievements. Totaling 32 sport studies and 62 effect sizes, it showed a positive, though moderate, effect size.

【5】 As Dr. Julia Harper, an occupational therapist said, “If we’re talking to ourselves negatively, research suggests that we’ll more likely guide ourselves to a negative outcome. However, when self-talk is neutral - as in a statement like ‘What do need to do?’ or positive, such as ‘I can get this done,’ then the outcome is much more effective.”

A．Researchers divided the players into two groups.

B．Participants with low self-confidence don’t like self-talk.

C．Unfortunately, human nature is ready for negative self-talk.

D．This effect only holds true if one’s self-talk remains encouraging.

E．These performance-energizing benefits aren’t just for tennis players either.

F．In fact, science has now shown that talking to yourself has a number of benefits.

G．Even though nobody else was around, hearing her would make me feel awkward.

22、Researchers have just completed the first worldwide record of lake color. Roughly one-third of them are blue but that number may drop if global temperatures rise. If average air temperatures in summer rose just a few degrees warmer, some of those crystal blue waters could turn green or brown.

Lake color offers clues to the stability of lake ecosystems. Factors such as water depth and how the nearby land is used also matter. Lake color depends in part, too, on what’s in the water. Compared with blue lakes, green or brown lakes have more algae (水藻) and organic matter. That’s according to Xiao Yang, a hydrologist who works at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. Changing lake colors, he says, could also change how people use those waters.

Yang was part of a team that analyzed the color of more than 85,000 lakes around the world. They used satellite photos from 2013 to 2020. Storms and seasons can temporarily affect a lake’s color. So the researchers focused on the most frequent color observed for each lake over the seven-year period. The scientists then looked at local climates during the same time period. They wanted to see how climate might be linked to lake color.

Average summer air temperatures and lake color were linked, the researchers found. Lakes were more likely to be blue in places where summer temperatures averaged less than 19℃. Up to 14 percent of lakes that are blue were near that threshold (门槛), though. That means just a bit more warming might tip them away from blue. Scientists think the planet could average 3 degrees Celsius warmer by 2100. If so, that could turn another 3,800 lakes green or brown.

Green or brown waters could be unappealing for play or it might cost more to clean it for drinking. But in fact, the color changes might not mean the lakes are any less healthy. If you were a certain type of fish species, you might think this is great.

【1】What is a feature of green or brown lakes?

A．Weak ecosystem.

B．High mineral content.

C．Increased organic matter.

D．Decreased water temperature.

【2】What does the research intend to find?

A．Why the color of most lakes is blue.

B．The consequences of lake color change.

C．How climate change affect creatures living in water.

D．The relationship between air temperature and lake color.

【3】What can be inferred from paragraph 4?

A．14 percent of the world’s lakes are blue.

B．3,800 lakes worldwide are green or brown.

C．Many lakes may experience severe ecological damage.

D．Some lakes are close to the critical point of color change.

【4】In which section of a website can this text be found?

A．Lifestyle.

B．Environment.

C．Technology.

D．Business.

23、A few weeks shy of her 100th birthday, Betty White, the beloved actress and comedian whose career in Hollywood spanned nearly eight decades has died. She was 99.

White was set to turn 100 years old on Jan. 17, and the actress was going to celebrate the milestone with a special movie event. Betty White: 100 Years Young, which was to feature White sharing stories from throughout her career, plus classic clips from her films and a lost part from her first sitcom. Plenty of celebrity guests had been included as well, including Ryan Reynolds, Tina Fey, Morgan Freeman and others.

White’s remarkable accomplishments included work in radio, television, and film, while she also penned several books and worked tirelessly as an activist for animal rights. Her work both in front of and behind cameras helped pave the way for other women who followed and strengthened her inheritance as an industry pioneer. And she also used her power to make Hollywood more inclusive by hiring Arthur Duncan, an African American performer, as a regular on her NBC variety show The Betty White Show in 1954 though the decision brought much controversy.

After The Mary Tyler Moore Show finished in 1977, she continued to work regularly.

Most notably, she starred on her own program. The Betty White Show. White scored her second-most iconic role, as the lovably dim Rose Nylund on The Golden Girls. The show was a real hit, ran for seven seasons, and helped win White her third Emmy.

While White remained a constant presence on TV screen, she experienced yet another monumental moment in 2010, when she starred in a Snickers Super Bowl commercial. The spot led to a fan campaign for her to host Saturday Night Live, and in May 2010 she did. In the following months, White’s latest sitcom, Hot in Cleveland, was first released on TV Land. The show became an instant success and ran for six seasons.

In January 2017, on her 95th birthday, when asked what she hoped people would think when they heard her name, she quickly quipped, “Oh, she’s so gorgeous and sexy!” White then added,“I just appreciate the fact that people have been so kind to me all these years. The fact that I’m still working, that’s the thing I’m most grateful for.”

【1】Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?

A．Betty White passed away shortly after the special occasion.

B．Betty White shared her personal life stories with celebrity guests.

C．A special movie event was scheduled to celebrate her 100th birthday

D．The special movie event was a success due to the appearance of celebrities.

【2】Which of the following can best describe Betty White according to the passage?

A．Hardworking and caring.

B．Strict and grateful.

C．Beautiful and elegant.

D．Cautious and lovable.

【3】What do we know about Betty White’s achievements?

A．The Betty White Show caused controversy for discriminating against African Americans.

B．Hot in Cleveland became quite popular after running six seasons.

C．A Snickers Super Bowl commercial led to White hosting Saturday Night live in 2017.

D．The Golden Girls runing for seven seasons helped win White her third Emmy.

24、Most people with good sense would accept that we can and should learn from accidental failures. It would be impossible to progress in anything, after all, without taking the occasional misstep. And by understanding how we slipped, we can avoid falling in the future.

Few would advocate making intentional mistakes, however. Yet consciously erring (犯错) can promote deeper understanding and better recall. The phenomenon is known as the derring effect — coming from “deliberate (故意的) erring” — and when applied properly, it may bring benefits in many unexpected areas of life.

In one experiment carried out at the National University of Singapore, participants were given the task of learning concepts on a difficult subject. For some terms, they simply copied out the correct definition; for others, they were asked to first add an error in their description of the term before   correcting the mistake.

Naturally, you would expect the addition of the errors to have increased unwanted confusion. Yet the exact opposite was true: the participants who made deliberate errors learned about twice as much as the people who simply copied out the correct definitions.

The derring effect could be applied in other situations. So a music teacher may find the addition of deliberate errors could help a student remember the right musical notes. Such a playful approach could fuel their creativity for composition, if the student looks for ways to develop those wrong notes into something more attractive. It is encouraging to discover that by readily accepting our errors and wisely placing ourselves in the way of being wrong, we can in fact overcome weaknesses and rise stronger.

The derring effect could be useful for many other challenges too. If you enjoy cooking, for example, you may faithfully follow a recipe without questioning the instructions. But why not try to break away from those habits and deliberately do the “wrong” thing for a change, and see where your derring takes you? If you are painting,meanwhile,you could relax one of the constraints (限制) that you usually put on your work and see what you produce.

At worst, you will have refreshed and deepened your knowledge of the rules you normally apply, so that you can be even more effective next time. At best, you may just find that you have discovered something completely new and unexpected, through a flash of inspiration that you would have missed with perfectionism. Either way, your apparent missteps will have moved you a little closer to true mastery.
