21、Your circle of friends may help you get a better reading on your overall health and wellness rather than just using wearable devices such as a Fitbit, according to researchers.
The study, published in the journal PLOS ONE, analyzed what the structure of social networks says about the state of health, happiness and stress.
“We were interested in the topology(拓扑学) of the social network—what does my position within my social network predict about my health and well-being?” said Nitesh V. Chawla, a professor at the University of Notre Dame in the US.
“What we found was the social network structure provides a significant improvement in predictability of wellness states of an individual over just using the data derived( 获得)from wearables, like the number of steps or heart rate,” Chawla said.
For the study, participants wore a Fitbit to capture health behavior data about walking, sleeping, heart rate and overall activity level. They also completed surveys and self-assessments(自我评估)of their stress, happiness and positivity.
Chawla and his team then analyzed the data with a machine-learning model, alongside the connections and characteristics of an individual’s social network.
The study showed a strong correlation (相关性)between social network structures, heart rate, number of steps and level of activity.
Social network structure provided significant improvement in predicting one’s health and well-being compared to just looking at health behavior data from the Fitbit alone.
For example, when social network structure is combined with the data from wearables, the machine learning model achieved a 65 percent improvement in predicting happiness.
The model also achieved a 54 percent improvement in predicting one’s self-assessed health prediction, a 55 percent improvement in predicting positive attitude and a 38 percent improvement in predicting success.
“This study asserts that without social network information, we only have an incomplete view of an individual’s wellness state, and to be fully predictive or to be able to derive interventions(干预). It is critical to be aware of the social network,” Chawla said.
【1】What did the study find?
A.How your circle of friends influences you.
B.How people choose their friend circles.
C.What factors decide your friend circles.
D.What your circle of friends says about your health.
【2】How did the researchers draw their conclusions?
A.By comparing data.
B.By giving examples.
C.By analyzing cause and effect.
D.By describing personal experiences.
【3】What does the underlined word “critical” mean in the last paragraph?
A.Easy.
B.Common.
C.Important.
D.Challenging.
【4】What do Chawla’s words in the last paragraph tell us?
A.How fitness devices can connect your circle of friends.
B.That a person’s social network is part of his health picture.
C.The best ways to make friends and keep a healthy social circle.
D.That wearable devices are not useful for understanding someone’s health.
【5】According to Professor Chawla, what data did the topology of social network are likely not to capture?
A.Information of heart rate.
B.Facts of sleep mode.
C.The overall activities.
D.Data of walking steps.
22、The sun rises above the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋). Across the frozen sea, a white bear moves slowly.
The bear stops and sways his head from side to side. There is nothing to see but endless ice and red sky. Then his powerful nose senses what his eyes cannot: a beluga whale is nearby.
The bear follows the smell and spots a large hole in the ice where a small white whale is swimming. He silently walks toward the hole, then stops, standing still. The whale does not see the bear, whose white fur makes him appear invisible against the ice.
Finally, the whale swims close to where the bear is waiting. With terrifying speed, the bear comes to life and moves toward the whale. In a moment it is over, and the bear eats his first meal in nearly a week.
Polar bears rule the frozen sea, but their ancestors weren’t always built for ice and snow. The first Arctic bears were brown bears, a species that includes grizzly bears. They came to the icy north over a hundred thousand years ago.
No one knows for sure why these bears traveled to such a cold place. Scientists think they might have wandered north looking for food. Maybe they became trapped by glaciers and couldn’t leave. Whatever the reason, the bears never should have survived.
But they did. They got used to their new environment. Their bodies changed. Their behavior changed, too. Eventually, the bears developed into an entirely new species: the polar bear. You can see some of the characteristics that polar bears developed to survive.
Sadly, these characteristics may now threaten the polar bear’s survival. As sea ice melts due to global warming, polar bears are frequently forced to come ashore. They are poor hunters on land, which means they often go a long time between meals. The polar bear, king of the Arctic, is now classified as a threatened species.
Although the future of the polar bear is unknown, the tale of two bears continues. As temperatures rise, grizzly bears have been spotted moving north into polar bear territory. These longlost cousins, once forced apart by nature, are coming back together again.
【1】What can be inferred about the white bear mentioned in the first four paragraphs?
A.It is noisy.
B.It is smelly.
C.It is starving.
D.It has good eyesight.
【2】What do we know about polar bears’ ancestors?
A.They were a darkercolored species.
B.They were born to live in ice and snow.
C.They had no trouble getting used to the icy north.
D.They came to the Arctic Ocean about 1,000 years ago.
【3】Why are polar bears struggling to survive?
A.They are losing their hunting ground.
B.They are threatened by other animals.
C.They are spending little time on land.
D.They have difficulty reaching the shore.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.The climate change
B.The polar bear’s favorite meal
C.The dark past of the polar bear
D.The mysteries of the Arctic Ocean
23、 Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds and the power to grow them are contained in the human mind. Success is a choice but not a chance. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem (自尊心).Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for whatever happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident while successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we consciously choose to accept and believe. Thoughts and beliefs cause behavior. Our attitudes and actions are a result of habits rooted in us over a period of time. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success depends upon our level of confidence.
If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.
In short, in all areas of your life, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.
【1】Which could be a good title for the passage?
A.Cause and Effect. B.No pain, no gain.
C.Success is a choice. D.Failure is the mother of success.
【2】We can learn from the passage that _____.
A.You'll succeed as long as you develop your self-esteem
B.Proper control over yourself contributes to building self-esteem
C.Associating with negative people is likely to bring success
D.Success sometimes isn't a choice but a chance
【3】Which of the following is NOT a "cause and effect"?
A.One's habits, attitudes and his actions.
B.One's thoughts, beliefs and his behavior.
C.One's confidence and his success.
D.One's expectations and his responsibilities.
24、Natalie Doan, 14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living near the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.
On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridge closed.
When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.
In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.
“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says.“but I can always choose how I deal with it.”
Natalie’s choice was to help. She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced. In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honoured as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.

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 should have been a perfect summer. My father bought me a new bicycle though I couldn’t ride very well. He set a basketball hoop for me in the backyard, and best of all built a tree house beside it. But it wasn’t, because Jeremy Ross moved into the neighborhood.
He laughed at me when he struck me out of the baseball game, and he had a party on his trampoline(蹦蹦床) while I wasn’t invited. Jeremy Ross became my enemy. I didn’t like him at all. Dad understood stuff like enemies. He told me he had enemies too when he was my age and that he knew a good way to get rid of them. “I’ll show you.” he said.
He began to make Enemy Pie in the kitchen which he said was the fastest known way to get rid of enemies. Excitedly, I got my mind working: Dad might put disgusting things like weeds, earthworms and rocks from the backyard into the pie, but none of those. Instead, I smelled something really, really good from our kitchen. Confused, I went to ask my dad. “If the pie smelled bad, your enemy would never eat it.” he said. I was catching on.
Still, I wasn’t quite sure how this enemy pie worked. What exactly did it do to enemies? Maybe it made their hair fall out, or made their breath smelly?
“Everything is ready except that there’s one part left for Enemy Pie to work. You need to invite your enemy over. Even worse, you have to be nice and make friends with him. I know it’s not easy, but that’s the only way Enemy Pie can work.” Dad told me.
It sounded horrible, but it was worth a try. All I had to do was spend time with Jeremy Ross and then he’d be out of my hair for the rest of my life.
I knocked on Jeremy’s door. Jeremy seemed surprised when he opened the door, waiting for me to say something. “Um, can you come to my house and play with me?” I asked nervously.
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。
Jeremy nodded and came playing with me in my backyard.
