22、Nowadays, girls are so mean to each other. Many girls are becoming the victims of the harmful behaviors of the female bully.

Emma Tracey was a popular 17-year-old and a well-liked athlete who had already won a soccer scholarship to college. But none of that stopped Emma from becoming the target of online girl on girl bullying (欺凌). Emma began to receive hundreds of online unpleasant comments via the latest social networking site called www.formspring.com.

In March 2011, Emma committed suicide and although all agreed that the online bother was not the single factor that led to Emma’ death, everyone did agree that it was a contributory factor.

Unfortunately, Emma’ story is not unique. A 2010 study conducted by the Cyberbullying Research Center states: “Cyberbullying victims were almost twice as likely to have attempted suicide compared to youth who had not experienced cyberbullying. Girls are 57% more likely to be victims of aggressive cyberbullying and 92% more likely to be the criminals.”

Suicide is obviously the extreme and no one can minimize the tragedy of it. However, there are other damages that occur as a result of aggressive bullying. It can damage self-confidence and lead to feelings of worthlessness, and also increase social isolation and make victims become withdrawn, depressed, anxious, and unsafe. So what causes girls to be so unkind towards each other?

A term known as relational aggression may best describe the cause of girl on girl bullying. It starts with a clique (派系) usually led by a girl with a high level of social status and popularity. In order not to lose her position, she will control girls within the clique and take action if she feels threatened. At the leader’s directive the girls within the clique will spread rumors and lies and annoy other girls continuously.

The bullying starts at school but will quickly go to cyberbullying due to anonymity (匿名) and lack of punishment. Girls will easily do so in the anonymity of the Internet. Finally the cause will be summarized as the unsafety and jealousy of one girl and the twisted loyalty of members within her clique. Underneath the confident exterior (外表) of a female bully lie desperate unsafety.

【1】The example of Emma Tracey is given to show .

A.popular youth are not easy to become the target of bullying

B.today’s youth don’t like to study any more

C.suicide is a serious problem among youth

D.cyberbullying is quite common among teenagers

【2】The bullying will quickly go to cyberbullying mainly because   .

A.it’s free to post comments online

B.the bullies don’t have to give their names online

C.it will not attract much attention

D.it will not affect their real life

【3】Which of the following is NOT the cause of bullying?

A.Lack of safety.

B.The twisted loyalty of members within a clique.

C.Jealousy of others.

D.Trying to be friendly.

【4】We can infer from the last paragraph that a female bully_______ .

A.has strong self-confidence

B.has strong leadership skills

C.is actually weak inside

D.is usually good at study

23、Everything is going to change more in the next ten years than it has in the last hundred, so it’s difficult to think about 100 years in the future. I can only guess what it might be like. 【1】

After 100 years, I think that borders will disappear through the development of science and technology. 【2】 Advances in transportation will mean people will be able to move to other places easily, so dividing up the land would be meaningless. People will move not only to other regions of the Earth but also to other planets in space because the Earth will be already full.

【3】 The future car will have a device on seats and it will be safely computer-controlled. All drivers will have to do is tell the car their destination and the computer will do the rest.

Food from Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter will become popular. 【4】 It will be easy to buy everything at the supermarket.

My family will live in Mangshi, but I’ll take the super airplane daily to my work office. It’ll take 30 minutes from Mangshi to New York. My wife will go to her office in London. 【5】 I’m looking forward to that happening someday.

A．We plan to eat dinner in Paris.

B．They will fly to Tokyo for shopping.

C．In other words, the world will be united into one.

D．What kinds of car will we be driving in the future?

E．However, I think it will be better to live then than now.

F．People who don’t have time will eat such things as beans.

G．The clothes that people will wear in the future are easy to wash.

24、More people who feel stressed about living in cities have been seeking protection in green spaces for the proven positive impacts on physical and mental health,but the benefits of “blue space”— the sea and coastline,but also rivers,lakes,canals,waterfalls,even fountains — are less well advertised, yet the science has kept in place for at least a decade: being by water is good for body and mind.

“Many of the processes are exactly the same as with green space — with some added benefits,” says Dr Mathew White,a senior lecturer at the University of Exeter.

White says there are three established pathways by which the presence of water is positively related to health and happiness.First,there are the beneficial environmental factors,such as less polluted air and more sunlight. Second, people who live by water tend to be more physically active. Third — and this is where blue space seems to have an advantage over other natural environments — water has a psychological recovery effect. When you are sailing, surfing or swimming, says White, “you’re really in step with natural forces there.”

Catherine Kelly is a wellness practitioner who teaches classes in “mindfulness by the sea”. She says the sea has a quality that can make people thoughtful.

“To go to the sea means letting go,” says Kelly. “It could be lying on a beach or somebody handing you a cocktail. For somebody else, it could be a wild, empty coast. But there is this really human sense of: ‘Oh, look, there’s the sea’— and the shoulders drop.”

【1】Why are blue spaces less popular than green spaces?

A．Because green spaces are good to people’s health.

B．Because the benefits of green spaces are better advertised.

C．Because green spaces have more benefits than blue spaces.

D．Because little research has been done on blue spaces.

【2】Where is blue space better than other natural environments according to White?

A．Water helps people restore mental health.

B．Where there’s water,there’s fresh air.

C．People living near water are healthier.

D．The sea can make people lost in deep thought.

【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．The sea will put you at ease.

B．The sea will hurt your shoulder.

C．The sea will bring you loneliness.

D．The sea will make you feel down.

【4】What does the author mainly want to tell us?

A．People in cities prefer green spaces.

B．Blue spaces benefit your body and mind.

C．Green spaces have been out of date.

D．Ways to keep us healthy.
