21、The world has been witnessing a growing number of countries where people from around the globe live together and communicate with each other, with various customs and beliefs coexisting. America and Singapore are typical examples. Distinct cultures merge into a common cultural context for mankind. 【1】

Culture shapes our identity and influences our behaviors, and cultural diversity makes us accept, or to some extent, even integrate and assimilate (同化) into other cultures. To adapt to a diverse cultural community, the fundamental thing is to be aware that there are different cultures apart from our own. 【2】 Sometimes a person may not know much about geography or history, but by mixing with people from other cultures, they may have the opportunity to learn more about different countries.

For those who want to learn but do not know where to start, a great point is to pick up a book about the culture they are interested in, or do some online research on reputable websites. 【3】 One more way to start learning about new cultures is simply tasting the food from different cultures, since food can also be an aspect of cultural diversity.

【4】 It’s the same for children too, especially for those who live in culturally diverse cities such as Los Angeles, Shanghai, or Hong Kong. If children are not aware of diversity, then they become close-minded. This can lead to troubles at school and even lead to bullying. Show them how diverse the world is. 【5】

In today’s world, if we are able to know about other cultures, and respect other values, life will be easier for us.

A．Understanding diversity is important for adults.

B．Here are some ways to fight against cultural prejudices.

C．The best way to learn, though, is through face-to-face interaction.

D．That’s why more of us feel as if we are living in a multicultural age.

E．Take a positive view of different cultures, and we can broaden our horizons.

F．Help them be more open-minded toward people of different races, cultures, and countries.

G．In many multicultural communities, the best representation of diversity can be found in schools.

22、   Text messaging is a surprisingly good way to receive candid responses to sensitive questions, according to a new study to be presented this week at the annual meeting of the American Association for Public Opinion Research. “The preliminary (初步的) results of our study suggest that people are more likely to disclose sensitive information via text messages than in voice interviews,” says Fred Conrad, a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research.

“This is sort of surprising,” says Conrad, “since many people thought that texting would decrease the likelihood of disclosing sensitive information because it creates a persistent, visual record of questions and answers that others might see on your phone and in the cloud.”

With text, the researchers also found that people were less likely to engage in “satisficing”— a survey industry term referring to the common practice of giving good enough, easy answers. “We believe people give more precise answers via texting because there's just not the time pressure in a largely asynchronous (非同步的) mode like text that there is in phone interviews, ” says Conrad. “As a result, respondents are able to take longer to arrive at more accurate answers.”

Conrad conducted the study with Michael Schober, a professor of psychology at the New School for Social Research. “We're in the early stages of analyzing our findings,” says Schober. “But so far it seems that texting may reduce some respondents' tendency to shade the truth or to present themselves in the best possible light in an interview, even when they know it's a human interviewer they are communicating with via text. What we cannot yet be sure of is who is most likely to be disclosive in text. Is it different for frequent texters, or generational, for example? ”

For the study, the researchers recruited approximately 600 iPhone-users through Google Ads, offering them iTunes Store rewards to participate in the study. Their goals were to see whether responses to the same questions differed depending on several variables: whether the questions were asked via text or voice, whether a human or a computer asked the questions, and whether the environment, including the presence of other people and the likelihood of multitasking, affected the answers.

【1】The underlined word “candid” in Para.1 probably means _________.

A．straightforward

B．appropriate

C．ambiguous

D．objective

【2】We can learn from the passage that __________.

A．people fond of text messaging are more honest.

B．texting will give away less sensitive information.

C．different variables might affect the responses of messaging.

D．about 600 iPhone users have been awarded iTunes by researchers.

【3】Compared with phone interviews, texting has the strength that people could _________.

A．present their best to the interviewers

B．have more time to make a reply

C．pay less for sending a message

D．enjoy more freedom of speech

【4】Which is the best title for the passage?

A．Texting Downs Responses

B．Texting Exposes Identity

C．Texting Benefits Interviewees

D．Texting Ups Truthfulness

23、Do you ever get the feeling that you’re being watched? Well, you might be right.

According to a study published in Nature on June 23, astronomers have found that 1, 715 stars have had a direct view of Earth since humans have been here.

The team looked at 331, 312 stars within 326 light-years of Earth, with each light-year equaling 9.4 trillion kilometers. Out of all those stars, only 1, 715 of them could see Earth within the last 5, 000 years, with an extra 319 stars that will be able to see us in the next 5, 000 years.

“When I look up at the sky, it looks a bit more amiable because it’s like, maybe somebody is waving,” said Lisa Kaltenegger, director of the Carl Sagan Institute at Cornell University, US, and the study’s lead writer.

If a planet circling around one of those 1, 715 stars is home to advanced life, they could easily see that there is life here because of the oxygen on Earth. If that didn’t give it away, then the radio waves we have sent out into space would also be an indicator. In fact, human-made radio waves have already traveled through 75 of the closest stars on Kaltenegger’s list.

Why haven’t we heard from anyone yet, then?

It takes a long time for messages to travel between star systems. By the time a message could be received, that advanced civilization would probably not exist anymore.

Alan Boss, a scientist at the Carnegie Institution for Science in the US who wasn’t part of the study, wrote in an email that this long time would limit the chances for different life to exchange “emails and TikTok videos”.

“So we should not expect aliens to show up anytime soon,” Boss said.

【1】What does the underlined word “that” refer to?

A．A planet circling around one of those 1,715 stars.

B．The oxygen on Earth.

C．Home to advanced life.

D．Human-made radio waves.

【2】What could prevent humans from exchanging messages with aliens according to Boss?

A．Human-made radio waves cannot travel far.

B．Aliens don’t exist.

C．They cannot understand each other.

D．It takes a long time for messages to travel.

【3】Which word can best describe Alan Boss’s attitude towards communicating with aliens?

A．Indifferent

B．Critical

C．Positive

D．Negative

【4】What is the purpose of the text?

A．To present new findings published in a study.

B．To discuss the advanced life on other stars.

C．To explain the feeling that you’re being watched.

D．To illustrate how messages travel between star systems.

24、Year of Giving

Yesterday I started the Year of Giving, my first day of a year-long journey into exploring the act of giving and the meaning of charity. I chose December 15 as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease. She was one of the most generous people that I have ever known. She always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me.

I had a rather busy day yesterday, ironic (具有讽刺意义的) for someone who is unemployed right now. In the morning I went to the gym, and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching. Before I knew it, it was noon. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting. On my way to Connecticut, I wondered if I would see someone that I would feel forced to give my first $ 10 to. I was running late and decided to do it afterwards.

After the meeting I had about half an hour to find the first person of my Year of Giving! I decided to check out DuPont Circle. I had met a guy there named Jerry once and thought he would willingly accept my $ 10. He wasn’t there, but I did see a man sitting by himself who looked really lonely, so I approached him. Now I had to figure out what I was going to say, I think I said something like, “Hi, can I sit down here?” “I would like to know if I could give you $ 10?” He asked me to repeat what I had said, I did, then he looked at me funny, got up and left.

I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on Connecticut Ave. He appeared to be in his 60s. I don’t know what drew me to him, but I thought I would make my second attempt. I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. Then I explained that I was starting a year-long project to give $ 10 to someone every day and that I wanted to give my $ 10 for today to him. The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him. This was exactly one of the things that I hoped would happen. People would think of others before themselves.

【1】The author set the starting date on December 15 to ____.

A. help the charity B. remember his mother

C. make an explosion  D. fulfill a wish of his mum

【2】In the author’s first attempt to give away the money, ____.

A. he was considered ridiculous

B. he hesitated for a long time

C. he was forced to donate the money

D. he had no time to take action

【3】In the author’s second attempt, the gentleman refused his offer because ____.

A. he didn’t need other’s help

B. he thought more for others

C. he didn’t care about money

D. he wanted to get more money

【4】We can infer that the author was inspired by ____.

A. true friendship   B. his own kindness

C. generous donations   D. human’s good nature

I arrived at the bus stop and there were a few other people _______ . The bus came and one by one I struggled _______ and put the suitcases inside the bus. Then I began to think, “Why doesn’t anyone offer to _______ ?” I sat on the bus and kept thinking, “Many passengers are _______ and strong enough, and most of them are my neighbors. How unkind, typical of this country! That’s why I want to ________ as soon as I can... etc.”

I ________ stopped myself and decided to change my ________ . I had been trying especially lately to “switch” as soon as I saw negativity coming into my head, so I went for: “I’ m ________ that I managed; I’ m ________ enough; I look forward to the challenges of this ________ ; I will meet people I love ... etc.”

The bus arrived at my destination and I waited for everyone to ________ so I could patiently take out my suitcases one by one. And a man in his 70’s whom I would least have ________ to help came back up and offered to give me a hand! He ________ the last one for me! I was so pleased and surprised, giving him a big ________ . He smiled back and we both went our separate ways. He seemed pretty pleased with himself.

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 was a warm summer morning. I had just finished reading the grocery specials in the paper. I didn’t really need anything for the next few days. Nothing stuck out as a particularly good deal except the bonus chicken packs.

Five minutes later I headed to the store on my bike: helmet on my head, old pack on my back, and five bucks in my pocket. The temperature seemed to have gone up a little. I locked up my bike and went in. I headed straight back to the meat counter. I grabbed a package weighing slightly over ten pounds, and then headed for the checkout.

“Paper or plastic,” the clerk asked. She gave me a whole lot of change for so much meat and slipped the family pack into a sack, with most of it sticking out the top.

I headed outside, pleased with my purchase and with visions of fried chicken and chicken and rice in my head. Reality set in when the air hit my face. Not warm air, but really hot air. I realized I didn’t have the car, so the chicken would be riding on my back.

Actually, the partially frozen chicken felt cold against my back. In my head I began to count the number of stop signs left before I got home. The signal light turned yellow so I stopped.

For a moment at the signal, it was quiet. Then I heard a woman start screaming. The light turned green but the cars didn’t move. Maybe there had been an accident? I looked behind me even though I never heard any cars’ crunch.

What I saw was a small herd of people coming up the road towards me. There was a man in a suit, a woman with a beach towel, and a few others. I heard someone yell, ‘I’m a nurse. " I looked around again and still, no visible accident. Moving faster, this herd of folks started talking loudly in my direction.

“Were you in an accident” Are you alright?” Who are they talking to, I wondered?

I had no idea what was wrong. I was puzzled!
