21、It’s generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes. They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment. They pay S5 for a caramel brul6e latte because they like expensive coffee drinks.

It’s undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions (性情），but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are, as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bern, by observing our own behavior. We can be strangers to ourselves. If we knew our own minds，why would we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior? If our minds were an open book, we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes. Actually，we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are.

Moreover, we don’t just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character we infer characters that weren’t there before. Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us, which we fail to recognize. Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn't. Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us. We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition.

Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make, people become what they do， though it may not be in compliance (符合)with their true desires. Therefore, we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegufs advice： “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be. ’’

【1】According to the passage, personalities and attitudes are commonly believed to __________.

A. determine one’s behavior

B. reflect one’s taste

C. influence one’s surroundings

D. result from one’s habits

【2】Which of the following would Daryl Bern most probably agree with?

A. The return of a wallet can indicate one’s honesty.

B. A kind person will offer his seat to the old.

C. One recycles plastics to protect the environment.

D. One buys latte out of true love of coffee.

【3】What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage?

A. We fail to realize our inner dispositions.

B. We can be influenced by outside pressures.

C. Our behavior is the result of our true desires.

D. Our characters can shape our social relationships.

22、   Color is considered one of the most useful and powerful design tools you have. People respond to different colors in different ways. Colors tell someone if you are friendly. In the same way they affect whether someone will continue clicking through your website. Colors determine if someone will start reading your article in a magazine or post on your website.

Colors also help to keep people involved on your website and determine how long they stay. Of course that’s not just about the content. Colors also influence how people will respond and behave.

The next time you go into a fast-food restaurant, look closely at the colors. Do they decorate with vivid reds and oranges because they encourage diners to eat and leave quickly like many of the fast-food establishments(企业)？That is exactly the response they want.

Different cultures have different attitudes and preferences; thus, they will have another color reaction. In China, “white” stands for death and in Brazil, it is the color purple while in America it is black. People from warm countries respond favorably to warm colors; people from colder climates prefer cooler colors. In America, green is associated with jealousy or money. Blue (the most popular) is associated with trust, responsibility, belonging and coolness.

This also means that color affects shopping habits. Different colors attract different kinds of customers. Red, orange, black and royal blue attract impulse(冲动的)buyers. Pink, light blue and navy attract smart budget shoppers. There is really a lot into it. To experience this, why not click on the following large companies’ websites that have spent the funds on this type of research now?

【1】This passage mainly tells us ______

A.what colors mean to people in different countries.

B.colors affect people in many different countries.

C.which kind of color does good to people’s health.

D.a good website should have as many kinds of colors as possible.

【2】According to this passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A.Reds and oranges in a restaurant will make you stay there longer.

B.In Brazil, the color purple is associated with death.

C.People from warm countries will like cooler colors better.

D.People’s shopping habits will not be affected by colors

【3】What would the author probably talk about in the next paragraph?

A.To offer some large companies’ websites.

B.To introduce what colors mean in different countries.

C.To tell us how to use colors in our daily life.

D.To give more examples about successful restaurants.

23、When you garden, you get sunshine, fresh air and exercise. 【1】. If you do not have enough space, time or money for a large garden, you can try on little container gardens.

Pick the right plants. In your containers, you can control the soil and the amount of water, but not the sunlight. So, find out which plants can grow in the light conditions you have. 【2】. For example, potatoes and carrots are not suitable for container gardening since they need deep soil to grow well.

【3】. This saves room and some plants may grow better when paired with another plant. However, not all plants grow well together. Some plants have very different water and soil needs. Also, do not grow plants in the same pot if they compete for the same nutrients.

Protect the plants from wind. Wind can damage parts of the plants. It can also dry them out. Choose a location for your garden that has shelter from a building or make your own wind protection. 【4】.

Water your plants regularly and put the water directly on the soil. It is best to water early in the morning. If you can't water in the morning, water in the late afternoon or early evening. 【5】. The water may dry up too fast and water droplets on leaves can burn them.

A．Get the right type of soil

B．Avoid plants that need deep soil

C．Grow different plants in the same pot

D．Working with soil and plants can be funny

E．Try not to water during the hottest part of the day

F．Grouping plants together can protect your plants from wind, too

G．Gardening can also produce healthy fruits and vegetables for your family

24、Creating meat out of thin air sounds like the technology you’d only expect to see in sci-fi movies, but according to Air Protein, it’s real.

Air Protein, a company behind the air-based meat project, was founded by Dr. Lisa Dyson, a research physicist, with the goal of producing meat alternatives. These days, plant-based meat alternatives are all the fashion and are referred to as the future of the meat industry, but Air Protein is taking it to a new level with its air-sourced proteins or meat. They are basically relying on a group of microbes which can change CO2 into amino-acids, and the final product is a protein-based flour that can be used to make meatless products with proteins.

Air Protein is the only company at present involved in making proteins out of the air, but their technology was inspired by research that NASA carried out in the 1960s. They were trying to come up with ways that astronauts could grow their own food on space voyages and then discovered these microbes, which, fed on CO2 and produced amino-acids under the right condition.

The process behind is even harder to understand than what Air Protein has so far published. The magic happens in giant tanks that take up much less land than both cattle raising and plant growing, and the energy comes from renewable sources. Thus, it's both cheaper and greener than other meat alternatives. Besides, the protein-rich flour can be produced in several days, compared to the years needed to raise cattle and the months needed to grow crops.

But is the world ready for meat produced by CO2-munching microbes? Air Protein certainly believes so. Meat alternatives are attracting important financial support, and the demand from customers with awareness of ecology is certainly there, so it’s just a matter of creating a good enough product.

【1】What do we know about the meat created out of air?

A．It is mainly made from carbon dioxide.

B．It will totally change the meat industry.

C．It is created with technology in sci-fi films.

D．Microbes play a key role in the process.

【2】Where did Air Protein get the idea of making meat out of air?

A．From a report made by Air Protein in the past.

B．From the research on growing food in space.

C．From the discovery on Dyson’s space voyage.

D．From present fashion of meat alternatives.

【3】Why might the air-sourced meat be popular?

A．It is healthier and tastes more delicious.

B．Its process of producing is much simpler.

C．It can be created in a more eco-friendly way.

D．It can be used to create more kinds of products.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．The world is really tired of the present meat.

B．The future of the air-sourced meat is bright.

C．Making the air-sourced meat is quite an unreal idea.

D．Customers have known the bad effects of present meat.

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。

When I was 15, I fell in love with the songs when they were first released — Bring Him Home, I Dreamed A Dream and On My Own. Even though I hadn’t read Les Miserables and knew very little about the musical, the songs captured my attention and I happily sang along with enthusiasm and energy whenever I heard them on the radio.

At the age of 17, I watched Les Miserables in a theatre of Vancouver. After getting home, I was really thrilled and announced that I wanted to perform in the musical. Hearing what I said, my parents did nothing but support me, although they considered the thought ridiculous, given that we lived 50 kilometres from the nearest large town, Toowoomba. There was little likelihood of ever having a chance to perform.

But some things are just meant to be. The Toowoomba Choral Society bought the performance rights with the view to perform it. Although I was not a member of the choir, they called for auditions (试镜) and I went along. I had had no experience singing and had never performed in any musicals but I believed in miracles and hoped that there was a place for me somewhere in the chorus.

I tried out for the part of Javert but did not have the range. Little did I know there were a host of parts that needed filling. Fortunately, I was chosen to be in the chorus as well as playing seven roles — ten costume changes in all. It was so exciting to play all the different parts. Rehearsals (排练) started immediately and I got a crash course in singing, acting and dancing. There was so much to learn and as I drove to rehearsals three times a week a little voice would say, “You are in over your head, get out now.”

I really had a hard time rehearsing — first with written texts and sheet music and then without. Personally, I struggled. So much to learn really made me so crazy that I had a strong desire to quit. And the little voice “You are in over your head, get out now.” rang in my ears again.

At that time, my parents’ determined look appeared in my mind.
