24、Ever since we became pen pals, Julien has sent me strange things. Once, she sent her sneeze in a jar.(“I have a cold, can you tell?” she wrote.) Then she sent her fingerprint.(“So you’ll recognize me in a crowd.”)
Julien sent me breakfast, all right: cornflakes. Soggy, milky, grainy, crumbly, limp cornflakes scraped from the bottom of her cereal bowl. I lost my appetite, but I read the letter.
Dear Caitlin, These cornflakes were so nutritious that I wanted to share this high-fiber, low-so-dium, just-three-calories, balanced breakfast with you. Enjoy, Julien P. S. Next week I’m sending you a sunset. |
“She’s mistaken,” I told my mom. “No one can send a sunset, not even Julien. It’s impossible.”
“I don’t know,” Mom said. “Julien might find a way. After all, she did send you her sneeze.”
A week later I checked the mail and found a box with air holes and the words “FRAGILE—THIS SIDE UP” printed in bold black letters on the top. It was from Julien.
I stroked the box with my fingers. It was perfectly dry. I smelled it. It didn’t smell. I held my breath and started opening the package. What if sunbeams spring out and hit me in the face like those fake snakes in a can? I thought.
My hands shook as I lifted the last flap and peeked inside. Where in the world was the sunset? All I could find was a letter and a twisty, gray, papery shell. It looked like a submarine. I read the letter.
Dear Caitlin , The sunsets at my house are so beautiful that I had to give you a piece. I counted at least five different colors in one yesterday. Can you find more? Hugs and smoochies, Julien |
I looked again at the gray shell. That’s no sunset, I thought. “You must mean the submarines at your house, Julien,” I said. Without reading the postscript, I laid the letter and the submarine on the kitchen table. Then I left the room to find a pen so that I could cross out “sunset” and write “submarine” above it.
When I returned, I stared in shock at the submarine. A creature was oozing out of it! Was it a sea monster? I looked closer. It was a winged creature... an insect... a butterfly. An orange, blue, purple, red, and gold butterfly. It looked like... a sunset!
While the sunset opened and closed its wings to dry them, I read Julien’s postscript. It said, “P. S. Next week I’m sending you Japan.”
【1】What does the underlined word“ oozing” probably mean?
A.Moving. B.Jumping.
C.Swimming. D.Flying.
【2】What did Julien really want Caitlin to see in the fourth mail?
A.The setting sun. B.Colors of a sunset.
C.A colorful butterfly. D.A new submarine.
【3】We can learn from the passage that Julien was ________.
A.strange and clever B. honest and friendly
C.creative and giving D. funny and inventive
【4】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Caitlin was from Japan and had never seen Julien.
B.Caitlin’s mom thought Julien’s gifts were fantastic.
C.Caitlin was pleased with the cornflakes that Julien sent.
D.Caitlin was expecting another unusual gift from Julien.
25、 Nowadays, everybody is taking selfies (自拍照). From your best friend to your favorite pop star, selfies are taking over Renren and Sina Weibo. The word “selfie” was even named Word of the Year by Oxford Dictionaries in 2013. But why do people feel the need to take them? And are they doing us more harm than good?
According to Dr Pamela Rutledge, psychologist (心理学家) and director or the Media Psychology Research Center in the US, posting a selfie online shows a biological need for self-validation (自我验证).
Humans have an area in their brain that controls social activity. Receiving positive feedback on a selfie you have posted online can be the same as someone stopping you in the street and complimenting(称赞) you on your appearance.
The act of taking a selfie also puts you in a position of power. You are the director and the subject of your own work of art. It helps people feel in control of their self-image and can be a powerful tool.
But can it go too far?
Psychologists warn that too much time spent on selfies can affect people's confidence, particularly in teenagers. If you are spending a lot of time choosing the perfect selfie outfit (着装) or finding the right angle, then there could be a problem.
Likewise (同样地), posting selfies online can harm your personal relationships. UK studies found that many people find it hard to relate to (与…联系) people who are often posting selfies online.
So next time you grab your smartphone to take a quick selfie, it may be better to drop it straight back into your pocket.
【1】What does Rutledge think of posting selfies online?
A.It helps people get to know each other. B.It helps people take better pictures.

【3】Psychologists think spending too much time taking selfies can __________.
A.affect people's confidence B.give away people's personal information

28、阅读短文,从方框中选择恰当的选项填入空白处,试短文内容完整、意思连贯
The customs in different countries are very different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host, (主人)he always puts more food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied it. 【1】 I have to eat the food even though I do not want to, because it is thought bad manners in the West to leave one’s food on the plate.
