21、 So many things can keep you from seeing your loved ones in person. Fortunately, thanks to modern technology, the people we miss are often only a phone call or text message away. But according to science, if you want to feel more connected to the people you're talking to, you should call them instead of texting.
A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication interactions that included voice created stronger social relationships than communication through typing.
In the study, researchers conducted various experiments. In the first one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it'd be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people at random to do one or the other. Although people expected that a phone call would be more awkward(尴尬的), hearing someone's voice actually made the experience better.
“People reported they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone versus (与……相比) email, and they didn't feel more awkward,” said study co-author Amit Kumar.
In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connect by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio (音频). They found that both forms of voice communication made the strangers feel much more connected than when they communicated via text.
Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard trained clinical psychologist based in New York City, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can “respond to information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person”. However, in fact, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. “A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the message,” she explains. “Each party is more present, and therefore, able to understand the meaning behind the content without thinking over the endless possible meanings behind words and punctuation.”
【1】Which is the best for building closer connections according to the new study?
A.An email.
B.A text message
C.A video chat.
D.A letter.
【2】What did the participants in the first experiment do?
A.They made predictions on the others' intentions.
B.They predicted a phone call would be awkward.
C.They made random phone calls to some strangers.
D.They imagined the joy of hearing someone's voice.
【3】Why does Sabrina Romanoff consider making phone calls convenient?
A.It is more convenient to perform in daily life.
B.It proves a controlled form of communication.
C.It can make it easier to understand each other.
D.It avoids unexpected additions in conversations.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Technology Builds More Connections
B.Communicate With Your Old Friends
C.Voice Communication Is Time-saving
D.Should We Call Instead of Texting

23、ABC News anchor (节目主持人) Peter Jennings died on Aug.7, 2005 at home in New York after a brief battle with lung cancer. ABC News anchors said they hope if anything good can be taken from Jennings’ death, it is a great awareness of the dangers of smoking.
“I want to give a message,” Barbara Walters said. “If you have kids who are smoking, tell them that we lost Peter.”
Lung cancer is the worst killer in America, taking more lives each year than any other cancer, according to the America Cancer Society. About 160,440 Americans die each year of cancer, making up 28 percent of all cancer deaths. More than 87 percent of lung cancers are smoking related.
Dr. Derek Raghavan, director of the Cleveland Clinic’ s Taussing Cancer Center(陶西格癌症中心), said that once a person stops smoking, he starts getting better. Three to five years after quitting, the possibility of getting lung cancer is reduced by half.
Warning signs of lung cancer can also be mixed with symptoms connected with long-term smoking. The three main warning signs are an increase of coughing that doesn’t clear up, coughing up blood and sharp chest pains.
People with those symptoms should see a doctor. Raghavan said there have been promising developments in the treatment of lung cancer, including uses of radiation and surgery and drugs. “But the fact is that stopping smoking is the most important thing we can do,” Raghavan said. “There is no treatment that even comes close.”
【1】Anchor Peter Jennings died of lung cancer which was possibly caused by _____.
A. his bad eating habit B. overmuch work
C. long-term smoking D. the old age
【2】The first paragraph mentioned Peter Jennings’ death in order to _____.
A. make him the main character of the passage.
B. warn the smokers of the danger of smoking
C. introduce the topic to be talked about
D. make him better-known than before
【3】The underlined word “quitting” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to _____.
A. doing more exercise
B. giving up smoking
C. getting over lung cancer
D. staying in hospital
【4】To fight against lung cancer, what matters much to smokers is _____.
A. to receive the treatment of lung cancer

D. to stop smoking
24、 It’s hard to turn down a tasty banana. They taste good and you don’t have to wash them before eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.
One reason for this is climate change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data from 27 countries and regions that produce 86 percent of the world’s bananas. They found that climate change has improved growing conditions in 21 of these countries. In the past 60 years the average yield has reached 1.37 tons of bananas per hectare.
However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of the countries, including India, the world’s biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out.
Shouldn’t bananas grow more easily if it’s hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature range for growing bananas is between 24℃ and 32℃. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing.
Another reason for this phenomenon is diseases. Unlike other crops, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings rather than seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype. In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plants it could kill them all.
One serious disease is called Panama. Caused by fungus(真菌)in the soil, it spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation suffers from the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Scientists have not found a cure for this disease.
【1】What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.People’s love for bananas. B.The taste of bananas.
C.The future disappearance of bananas. D.The convenience of eating bananas
【2】What might happen if temperatures keep going higher?
A.More countries will start to grow bananas.
B.Bananas will not be able to grow any more.
C.Bananas will grow better in most countries.
D.Bananas won’t be as tasty as before.
【3】How many reasons for the disappearing of bananas are mentioned in the text?
A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.
【4】What does Paragraph 5 tell us?
A.What diseases bananas may suffer from. B.How bananas are grown.
C.How diseases can easily kill bananas. D.Which diseases can kill bananas.
