The first time I heard about my classmates engaging with social media was in the fourth grade. A few of my friends and some of my classmates had excitedly jump onto platforms like Instagram at such a young age. On the other hand, I hesitated. I only knew the basics, but was foreign to some words on social media.

All throughout middle school, I stuck with the same thinking. And no as a freshman in college, I am looking back and wondering why I have never been naturally interested in social media.

Scanning Instagram, you ought to find dozens of pictures of people in beautiful countries, taking part in exciting activities, and spending time with friends and family, among many other things. The thought of doing this never resonated with me. I respect and understand those who believe using social media allows them to express themselves and share aspects of their lives others. However, I have never had any interest in doing the same. In my eves, family gatherings and friend get-togethers are just as, if not more meaningful when not shared with others.

Most people have experienced feeling insecure and unconfident on social media. Images that are changed represent unrealistic beauty standards that can only be obtained through dangerous ways. Even without using social media, I knew that using apps like Instagram and Facebook would make me embarrassed of all the aspects that make me a unique individual. I never wanted to look at a post on social media and immediately compare myself and my life.

I constantly observe my classmates getting easily distracted (使分心) by social media. While trying to complete their homework, they have a powerful urge to open up Instagram or Facebook to see if there are any new messages. With homework and after-class activities consuming the majority of my day, I cannot wait to finish every task on my to-do list, so I can finally spend time with my family or have some time for myself to relax from my busy day.

A. They follow other people’s beauty standards totally.

B. Social media change the way they look at themselves.

C. Social media encourage them to be a unique individual

D. They spend more time posting their images on social media.

Some birds are inner decorators, placing big, showy feathers (羽毛) in their nests. But rather than decorating their homes, these birds may be trying to frighten nest-stealing neighbors.

Karen Wiebe is a behavioral ecologist at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada. She and her colleague Slagsvold saw birds placing large feathers on the surfaces of nests. Those feathers wouldn’t help with warmth. The researchers wondered whether the birds might be using the decorations to send a message.

For birds that nest in holes, competition for nests can be really violent. These somewhat rare holes can also hide danger because predators (掠夺者) may be hiding inside. If a nest contains feathers or other remains, it might be evidence that a predator had been there. Those holes might not be as desirable.

Wiebe and Slagsvold assumed that some birds may use feathers to create a mock (模拟的) kill site.

During spring, when nest competition is the most violent, the scientists set up pairs of nesting boxes. One box contained white feathers. The other either contained no feathers or black feathers. Inside the boxes, black feathers were more difficult to see than white ones. Using video cameras, the researchers spied on how birds reacted to the boxes. When birds took longer to enter, that suggested the animals were scared.

Birds hesitated to enter boxes with white feathers. But when feathers were in front of a nest, birds jumped right up and grabbed them. That suggested that birds weren’t afraid of the feathers themselves.

“It was really interesting to discover that birds were using a trick to help them keep their nests.” Wiebe says. When a bird leaves its nest to search for food, that opens the door for a nest stealer. “But if it can buy a little time by scaring away predators with these feathers, then it has a better chance of coming back in time to defend its nest site.”

8. What makes the competition for nests intense among birds?

A. The warmth of nests. B. The cruelty of predators.

C. The colour of feathers. D. The quantity of holes.

9. Why did scientists set up pairs of nesting boxes?

A. To prove that birds are good at decorating their nests.

B. To explore when birds compete for nests most severely.

C. To test whether birds send messages through decoration.

D. To investigate if birds are afraid of the feathers themselves.

10. Which of the following nesting boxes are birds unwilling to enter?

A. The one with white feathers outside. B. The one with white feathers inside.

C. The one with black feathers outside. D. The one with black feathers inside.

11. By writing the passage, the author intends to tell us that ________.

A. birds compete with each other for nests

B. birds’ living environment faces great risks

C. birds may scare off competitors with a trick

D. birds’ feathers can guarantee their nests safety

D

There are some basic ways that we encounter potential new friends, the first of which is closeness. When we cross paths regularly, live in the same neighborhood, or share a workstation in the office with someone, it makes sense that acquaintanceship may deepen into friendship as a result of the consistent exposure that occurs through the use of shared space. While there is an old saying, familiarity generates disrespect, the opposite is also true, we tend to like someone more as we spend increasing amounts of time with them.

Shared life stage is the second way that we frequently find new friends. We take satisfaction and pleasure when spending time with people who are experiencing the same challenges or rewards that we are experiencing. When we move from high school to college or college to our first job, we tend to seek out the company of others who are experiencing the same transformation we are.

Shared interests are also a reliable path to friendship making. When we get into a new fitness program or start making our own beer, we are going to be bumping into new people who share these interests whether it’s through chatting in the juice bar or trying to decide what to buy at the craft beer making supply shop.

We know that there are three paths that lead to new friendship pools where we are likely to build our social networks, but do we ever know right from the start that we’ve met a friend? Science suggests it is absolutely possible. While we may all have felt the same excitement of instant connection with someone, the “someone” who generates that feeling of warmth in us is going to tell us a lot about who we are as individuals and what we think we need in a friend or partner.

While we may run across potential friends through some ways, there remains a bit of mystery as to why we “click” with some potential friends and not with others.

12. What’s the common understanding of closeness?

A. It leads to more shared space. B. It creates a mental distance.

C. It helps establish relationships. D. It makes people more attractive.

13. As a fresh staff in a company you are more likely to be a friend of ________.

A. someone who lives in your community B. someone who has richer work experience

C. someone who gets the job together with you D. someone who has a wider range of interests

14. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?

A. A friend is easier lost than found. B. True friendship is never peaceful.

C. Friendship is always the aid of virtue. D. Friends hold a mirror up to each other.

15. What can be concluded from the article?

A. We are unclear why we have a preference for someone.

B. It’s easy for people to be friends right from the first meeting.

C. Friendships can’t develop between those with diverse tastes.

D. People tend to possess the same interests after becoming friends.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

For years, Jessica and Eric have lived down the street from their favorite sandwich shop. Despite its being so close to home, they preferred to dine in, and always tipped generously when they did. But, during the pandemic in 2020, the cafe temporarily closed, then reopened—for takeout orders only. So their new routine became to order online, go pick up their food, and eat it at home. ____16____

That is, until the day they drove up and a waitress ran out to meet them. “I was wondering if I’m doing something wrong, because you never leave a tip,” she said. Eric attempted to explain: “Because we aren’t being waited on, we didn’t think tipping was necessary.” ____17____ “She stormed off.” Jessica says.

The pandemic has been particularly hard on people working for tips. Some haven’t been able to do their jobs at all while others don’t interact with customers the same way. ____18____ Meanwhile, many customers felt the need to tip more because of the new risks and hardships that essential service workers suddenly faced.

“____19____ We were tipping based on emotion, and that may not have had anything to do with the service. And that service also became harder to assess.” says Toni Dupree, a professional etiquette (礼仪) coach. Some old standards no longer seem fair, and several newer ones will apply long after the pandemic is over.

Next time, in Dupree’s view, you’re unsure whether a tip is in order, follow this simple rule: ____20____ The novelist George Eliot asked, “What do we live for if not to make the world less difficult for each other?” Dupree adds: “Tipping well is one way to make things easier for someone else.”

A. When in doubt, tip.

B. That made it worse.

C. It is service itself that counts.

D. Tipping never crossed their minds.

E. To enjoy good services, tipping is a must.

F. Just as many services have changed, so should tipping.

G. Tips dried up in either case, causing a lot of people to suffer.

47. 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。

From the time I was old enough to help on our Indiana farm, I knew what my father expected of me. Three generations of men in my family were doctors. I heard stories of the lives my grandfather had saved and I heard similar tales about my father. As Dad grew ever more godlike in my mind, so did the force of the expectation that I would follow in the family tradition.

But as college neared, I began to feel that becoming a doctor was not what I really wanted to do. I didn’t dare tell him about my uncertainty. With the weight heavy on my mind the summer before college, I was given a challenge that I hoped would be a distraction.

Dad kept several bird dogs which I trained on our farm. As usual, Dad turned Jerry over to me. “See what you can do with him,” he said.

I didn’t anticipate problems. Jerry was a willing dog of about ten months. The first part of his training was easy. He mastered the basics: sit, stay, down, walk. His only problem was “come”. I’d call “Jerry! Here!” He would turn and look at me, then go on about his business. In the following days, I noticed he would just take off through the grass, fast as a wild thing. Despite my intense desire to train him well, I began to feel a strange sense of joy when he ran.

“Why won’t he do what I want him to?” I asked myself. I had never failed with a dog before, but I was surely failing now. When September came, I finally had to tell Dad that this bird dog wouldn’t hunt. The thought that I had failed us both made me guilty.

“Son, I know this dog doesn’t do what he should,” he said, “but what he does do is something he likes.” He continued to look at me firmly. For a moment I felt he could see into my very heart.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

“Dad, I don’t think I can do medicine,” I took a solid breath.
