21、Individuals with social intelligence can sense how other people feel, know clearly what to say in social situations and appear confident even in a larger crowd. You might think of these folks as having “people skills”, but what they truly possess is social intelligence.

People who are socially intelligent display core traits (核心、特质) that help them communicate and connect with others.【1】 A person who possesses social intelligence doesn’t listen merely to respond but truly pays attention to what another person is saying. The other folks in the conversation walk away feeling like they were understood and that they made a connection. 【2】 Someone with social intelligence understands that arguing or proving a point by making another person feel bad isn’t the right thing to do. 【3】 Instead, they tend to listen to him/her with an open mind —even when it’s not an idea that they personally agree with.

Some people may seem to develop social intelligence without really trying. 【4】 Luckily, certain strategies, such as practicing active listening and respecting cultural differences, can help a person build social skills. Studying social situations is also an effective way to develop social skills. Pay attention to what people are doing well and the mistakes you want to avoid. Afterward, think about what you want to do differently in the next social situation you are in.

【5】 If it were, there wouldn’t ever be another awkward conversation at a party. However, working toward a strong social intelligence can lead to a richer life — or, at least, an easier time making a few new friends.

A．They are usually effective listeners.

B．Social intelligence isn’t easy to master.

C．But others have to work to develop it.

D．They don’t directly reject another person’s ideas.

E．And remember that you can mess up sometimes.

F．Develop your social intelligence by working on your communication skills.

G．Lack of arguing is another important trait that people with social intelligence exhibit.

22、“Your skin’s a bit dry,” one user commented on a video posted by Angie, a popular influencer who first appeared on Chinese social media last fall. “You should apply a face mask.” In the video, uploaded to Douyin, Angie’s skin looks not smooth. A yawn shows slightly crooked teeth.

Typical influencers might respond back with a comment, but Angie is not a typical influencer—she’s not even a real person. Unlike China’s other virtual influencers, Angie doesn’t pose in designer clothes or promote new songs. Instead, she wears simple white tees, drinks Coca-Cola and yawns on screen. Sometimes she can be seen with zits. And her down-to-earth image clearly relates to people on Douyin, where she has attracted over 280,000 followers to date.

Virtual influencers are nothing new in China. The country’s first digital personality Ling was created in 2020. With her sharp jawline, thin face and rosy lips, Ling reflects a traditional Chinese beauty ideal. But Angie offers a refreshing alternative in a country where demand for plastic surgery is increasing and beauty apps compete to create filters that show users more beautiful versions of themselves.

Angie is the creation of Jesse Zhang, director of a Shenzhen-based CGI animation company. Zhang thought it would be fun to create a virtual character with imperfect features who could help people relax and feel more positive about themselves. Angie started taking shape in 2020, and within three months Zhang had posted his character’s first video to Dyinbe December, she had already gained around 100,000 fans. “I didn’t think she would take off so quickly,” he said, attributing her popularity to her calming, casual videos.

Some fans have credited Angie with cheering them up or helping them reduce life’s pressure. Angie, last time I left you a message saying I was feeling really sad. Now, I’m doing much better,” The follower said they were preparing for the upcoming semester, and that they would try to work hard in school. “Keep pressing on,” Angie wrote in response, adding that sad moments will become things of the past.

【1】What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 imply?

A．Angie is facially damaged.

B．Angie is not beautiful enough.

C．People don’t like Angie.

D．Angie doesn’t have the face of a celebrity.

【2】What is the major difference between Ling and Angie?

A．The image they have.

B．The app they use.

C．The social media where they appear.

D．The way they were created.

【3】Why did Zhang create Angie?

A．For fame.

B．For money.

C．For work.

D．For entertainment.

【4】What can be learned from this passage?

A．Virtual influencers are quite new and strange in China.

B．Zhang predicted Angie would succeed on the social media overnight.

C．This imperfect virtual influencer is challenging beauty standards in China.

D．Angie’s popularity results from her humorous and easygoing character.

23、   Have you heard of Creative Growth? The Oakland institution offers a professional studio space where adult artists with developmental, mental and physical disabilities can create work. It also provides gallery exhibitions, representation, guidance, a community of likeminded artists and a safe space in which to grow. The late Judith Scott, whose artwork lit up the Brooklyn Museum in a retrospective(回顾展)last year, was a Creative Growth artist who suffered from down syndrome(唐氏综合症)and hearing loss.

“It’s the best facility for local adult artists living with disabilities,” Jonah Olson, an artist and former teacher in Creative Growth’s printmaking studio said. “ The amount of work they produce and the quality of it are remarkable.”

Olson, who now lives in Los Angeles, is a member of the band L.A. Takedown. Along with his bandmates, Olson decided to use the opportunity to expose Southern California to lesser known contemporary outsider artists, living and working just a few hours up north.

“I’ve had an interest in outsider art for a long time,” Olson explained. “You make art as a child and the reasons for doing it now, in my case, are no different now from what they were then. It’ s very basic. Intrinsic (本质的). I think that’s what drew me to art made by people with developmental disabilities.”

The show, a survey of the space’s better-known and lesser-known names, loosely revolves(围绕) around themes of art and music. “Not a lot of the recent artwork specifically is about music, but we are grouping the work around the idea of being in the cities of L.A. and Oakland.” Olson said.

The artists of Creative Growth will be on view throughout the month of August, coupled with musical performances and film screenings organized by L.A. Takedown. All proceeds from the month will benefit the artists and space. The money will be used to improve the condition of the studio and for the development of the artists. “L.A. doesn’t really have a place like Creative Growth,” Olson said, discussing his hopes for the show.

【1】What do we know about Creative Growth?

A.It was founded by Judith Scott.

B.It hosts exhibitions of famous artists’ works.

C.It offers professional service to physically disabled people.

D.It provides an artistic environment for disabled adult artists.

【2】Why does Olson like outsider art?

A.It is created by children.

B.It focuses on the art itself.

C.It is different from contemporary art.

D.It shows the feelings of disabled people.

【3】What does the underlined word “proceeds” in the last paragraph mean?

A.Activities. B.Work

C.Profits D.Arrangement

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A.An art show brings music along.

B.Outsider art challenges traditions.

C.Creative art helps people develop across many fields.

D.Artists with disabilities explore the potential of visual expression.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

I have taught Spanish to thousands of students over my 36 years at Walpole High School in Walpole, Massachusetts. My students have ranged from the most academically gifted to the academically at-risk. There is one young man, however, who in the course of his high school career surpassed everyone’s expectations. His name is Vincent Lee.

Vincent entered my classroom as a nervous freshman on his first day of high school. He was enrolled in our Spanish course, a transition course for students who underperformed in Spanish I. In fact, Vincent had not had a lot of success in Spanish in middle school. His eighth grade teacher had described him as that “sad, introverted (内向的) boy in the last row who always kept his head down.”

Vincent often went to class unprepared and couldn’t see the point of learning another language. And yet there were other reasons to explain this lack of motivation. Vincent was dealing with a lot of turmoil (混乱) in his life: the recent divorce of his parents, moving from a house to an apartment and much greater responsibility at home for helping his mom take care of his younger twin brothers.

From the very start of my course, I sensed an attitude that separated Vincent from his peers. He entered class each day, took his seat quietly and took out what he needed for the lesson. At first, he was somewhat shy about answering questions in Spanish, but as the course progressed, I was able to engage him in conversations about his family, his interests and his passions.

With time going by, Vincent became more willing to volunteer and even ask me questions. He seemed fascinated by the fact that my parents were from Costa Rica and that I was fluent in both English and Spanish. When he once asked how long it takes to become fluent in another language, I explained that it takes many years and that the first sign that a person has adopted the language as his own is when one dreams in that language.

注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150词左右；

2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；

3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；

4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。

Clearly, Vincent was beginning to view himself as a real student.
