It’s a Saturday night, the kids are asleep and we have no plans. Before we fall into our routine and watch a movie, I try to talk my husband into playing a card game. Unconvinced, he continues tapping away on his phone. But just before disappearing into the social media rabbit hole, he has an idea. He looks over me and suggests, “Why don’t we try calling one of our friends?”
I look at him with raised brows, as if his suggestion is somewhat ridiculous and perhaps even socially unacceptable. You can’t just call someone out of the blue now…right? But then I realize in the not so distant past, this was the norm. My early teenage years saw me connecting with friends through a phone. We could chat for hours about the latest gossip and news, sometimes hidding under my blanket in order to avoid the chances of being caught by my parents. I could even memorize the phone numbers of loved ones then. I guess these days, they would be on my “Favorites” list in my smartphone.
Today, many of my “favorite” people are followed from a distance through social media, and even they very rarely—if ever—would get an actual call from me. The birth announcement by my oldest friend is received through scrolling the past pictures. The news of a divorce from a couple arrives after a photo of a woman led me on a search for more gossip. Bits of such information, may have been a part of my digital feed for years. The idea of actually picking up the phone to reconnect with a long-lost friend is a frightening one—even seeing the name of an old friend pop up in an incoming call can feel a little afraid.
I ask my husband, “Who would we call?” After tossing around a few names, we agree on some potential candidates—people whose lives have taken them in different directions, but with whom we still share deep friendships.

7. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To argue for the need of the contact of long-lost old friends.
B. To tell us about one of his unforgettable experiences.
C. To remind us to turn to phones to keep in toch with friends.
D. To persuade us to follow our friends through the social media.

Scientists have discovered that rats have adapted to modern human life, even adapting their diets to the cities they live in.
The scientists claim that it could be possible that humans and rats have had similar changes in their genetic make-up, due to modern city life. The downside of the changes in the DNA is that they could make rats susceptible to the same health problems as humans, such as pollutants and sugary foods.
The study showed that rats’ diets have also adapted to their environment. In New York, you can see them eat bagels and beer; in Paris, they like croissants and butter. They adapt in amazing ways. The scientists also analyzed the genomes (基因组)of 29 New York rats and compared them with those of nine brown rats from Heilongjiang Province, north-east China. The finding showed that dozens of rat genes had been through major DNA changes over the centuries, as the rats spread from Asia to Europe and America, and from the countryside and into cities.
The changed genes were associated with diet, behavior, and movement, which added pressures and challenges for the rat to overcome. This could reflect the fact that urban rats have to move through highly artificial environments that are very different from natural habitats. So these gene changes might have evolved to help them move more easily through underground channels and pipes.
As the rats are closely associated with city-living humans, the scientists believe that it is possible that similar changes have happened in both species.
In October 2019, scientists used rats to successfully test an enzyme(酶) that could be used to help people quit smoking. Two groups of rats were trained to self-administer nicotine, and over two weeks their nicotine intakes increased, suggesting addiction. Then, one group of rats was given the enzyme, which led to a decreased nicotine intake. The scientists say that the enzyme could be developed for human use in the future.
8. Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase “susceptible to” in paragraph 2?
A. Not likely to be cured of. B. Being disease-resistant to.
C. Very likely to be affected by. D. Being thoroughly exposed to.
9. What does the author intend to show in the third paragraph?
A. Rats in the city are particular about their food.
B. Rats in different cities have different genetic make-up.
C. Rats are distributed in every continent of the earth.
D. Rats have been adjusting themselves to the environment.
10. What is the purpose of testing an enzyme on rats?
A. To explore rats’ survival ability. B. To help people stop smoking.
C. To learn more about city rats. D. To tell apart nicotine and enzyme.
11. What is the best title of this text?
A. Rats Have Adapted to Modern Human Life
B. Rats in the City Have Varieties of Diets
C. Rats Are More Adaptable than Humans
D. Rats Have the Same Genetic Make-up to Humans
D
What do you do when nobody is around to take your picture? You take a selfie (拍照) .But what about selfies in space? On Twitter last year, NASA astronaut Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, who famously became the second man to walk on the moon in July 1969, laid claim to a spaceflight first taking the first selfie in space during the Gemini XII mission in 1966.
“For me, it needs to be digital to be selfie,” argues Jennifer Levasseur, who is in charge of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. According to Levasseur, the concept of a selfie is directly linked to Internet culture and human desire to interact on social platforms. “The thing that makes a selfie is sharing it,” she says.
Still, astronauts have been carrying cameras abroad space vehicles since the 1960s ,and they've taken plenty of pictures of themselves along the way. Astronauts had to pull the film magazines out and leave their cameras behind when they returned to Earth because early space missions were restricted by a conservative weight limit on the return trip.
A big change in space camera technology came after sad loss of the space shuttle Columbia who broke apart on its return to Earth in 2003. “Fearing that they would never be able to bring the film back from space and lose all that hard work celebrated the push for digital.” Levasseur says.
Today astronauts can have access to the Internet and social platforms in space and post true based selfies taken by digital cameras. Taking selfies and sharing them on social media is a way that astronauts in space can participate in the same activities people on Earth do every day. The first astronaut selfie that went viral(网红的) on the internet was one by Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide in 2012.
12. What does Levasseur think of Aldrin's claim?
A. It hardly makes any sense. B. It revolutionizes astronautics.
C. It contradicts public opinions. D. It needs to be further proved.
13. Why were cameras left in space on early space missions?
A. To lighten the load of the spaceship.
B. To test cameras under extreme conditions.
C To prepare for the next stage of spaceexploration.
D. To take more pictures in space by remote control.
14. What advanced space camera technology?
A. The invention of new films
B. The fear of falling behind in the space race
C. The concern about the loss of valuable data
D. The popularity of space selfies on socia media
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Exploration of Space. B The History of Selfies in Space.
C. The Change in Space Camera Technology. D. The Development in Space Technology.

I'm always surprised when I hear the statistics about how little time kids spend outside. One study found children are spending less than half amount of time outdoors than they did just 20 years ago.
16 All that outside time then wasn't just about health and exercise, though that was certainly true. Several studies also have linked outside time to higher test scores, lower anxiety and aggression, more creativity and improved attention spans. 17 Researchers look at three primary schools in South Wales that adopted an outdoor learning program with teachers working outside with students at least one hour a week and come to this conclusion.
18 Eliza Minnucci’s kindergarten class there engages in Forest Mondays, during which the students spend the whole day in the woods , rain or shine. It's a more curriculum -based version of the Land, an outdoor playground in England, which allows kids to experiment, build dams and even build fires in the woods.
So what have the results been? Mostly positive. “Kids are so resourceful out here. Minnucci said. 19 We teach them discrete (互不关联的) skills and facts and they put them together later. That's a good way to learn, but it’s not the way the world works,” she said. “ 20 In the place, they need to think about how to build a dam with others and at the same time think about staying dry and staying warm.
Considering all the good evidence that being outside is good great for mind and body---as well as test scores-- it seems like this kind of education is a natural next step for teachers.
- My own childhood was filled with outdoor time.
- As an added bonus, it is also beneficial to teachers.
- The idea is to let kids learn lessons from the natural world.
- In the classroom, we separate everything into small pieces.
- A public school in Queechee is taking these results seriously.
- I like giving them the opportunity to be in a really complex place.
- Playing outdoors involves plenty of learning, just not from a book.

Mike licked the last of the mint chocolate chip ice cream. It was almost time to leave. He jumped into the car with his parents and headed off to the Olympic-sized pool for the big swim meet.
When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift. Mike climbed out the pool, smiling. He had just won first place, making him the fastest boy in his age group.
“Congratulations, son, “ his father said. His mom gave him a hug, even though he was soaking wet.
A week later, it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite ice cream flavor. Mike remembered that the last time he had won a race, he also ate mint chocolate chip ice cream first. Maybe he’d win again.
He took first place again in his race. Mike was feeling pretty good. As it turned out, Mike decided to have mint chocolate chip ice cream before every one of the next few swim meets. He began to think of it as his lucky charm. After several mouths of placing in the top positions of every race he swam, Mike was feeling unbeatable. And he wouldn’t admit it, but all that ice cream was adding a few pounds to his athletic swimmer’s build.
It didn’t take long after that for Mike to start coming in second place---and then third---and then last place in his races. The lucky mint chocolate chip ice cream had lost its magic.
On the day of his next swim meet, his mother sat down at the table with him. “Mike, we all love ice cream, bu it’s not healthy for your body to eat so much of it. Maybe it’s time to quit the sweet treats for a while, especially before you go swimming.”
Mike unwillingly agreed. He went to the swim meet, and didn’t perform well. His father offered to go running with him a few days a week to help him feel better and strengthen his muscles. The extra weight soon disappeared, and Mike found himself breathing easier at swim practices.
Paragraph 1: It was the last meet of the season, and Mike wasn’t sure what to expect.
Paragraph 2: Finally came the end of the race.

Dear Chris,
I’m so honored to serve as your guide to a local restaurant to taste traditional Chinese food. The restaurant enjoys a good reputation and has won a China Time-honored Brand title. The environment is clean and elegant, not to mention its high-quality dishes as well as its top services. The traditional and unique soup dumplings are its specialty, which I do believe you will have a good feast on.
By the way, it is convenient to get there by bus, for it is just within easy reach of the downtown. We will meet at the bus stop near our school this Sunday morning. Bus No. 9 will directly take us there.
Wish you a good time.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
It was the last meet of the season, and Mike was not sure what to expect. He’d been training hard with his dad, and staying away from the rich desserts he enjoyed so much. He felt healthy again, but he didn’t know if he still had any speed in the pool.
As he jumped into the water, he kicked his legs and stretched his arms as far as he could. He made the turn at the end of the lane (泳道) perfectly, and was feeling strong. This race was a long one, so Mike tried to keep his energy level up even as he began feeling tired.
Whenever he came up for a breath, he could see he was gaining on the boy ahead of him in the next lane. Feeling determined to pass him, Mike found the power in his muscles to push ahead, and as his hand touched the edge of the pool, the race was over. He lifted his swim goggles (护目镜) off his head and looked at the times on the electronic board. He knew he wasn’t last, but what was his time?
His jaw dropped as he realized he had beaten his own best time, and everyone else’s too. Mike had won his race. The audience and his teammates cheered loudly, and his parents were grinning from ear to ear. “Hey champ, let’s go grab some of your favorite ice cream and celebrate!” said his father.
“Thanks, Dad, but I’ll pass on the ice cream; it’s not such a lucky charm after all!”
