21、   Some birds are masters of crime. That means these species steal food from other birds and get away with it. Scientists have long wondered what these birds have in common. A new study suggests that big body size does not predict bad behavior. Instead, it is the size of the birds' brains that matters most.

To learn more about what makes some birds tend towards a life of crime and how they steal food from other birds, scientists analyzed 856 published reports of thieves. Researcher Julie says she started the project after watching birds steal dry dog food out of unattended bowls. She read about some dramatic examples of thieves, including birds that steal food from others flying in midair or bending through the sky. She learned that members of some species disturb other birds until they spit up food in their mouth.

Families that steal also tend to eat fish, mice, and other vertebrates （脊椎动物） instead of just insects. These meatier （多肉的）meals are hard to catch, and they deliver lots of valuable calories, so they are attempting to steal.

Finally, birds that steal tend to have big brains in relation to their bodies. That may seem surprising, since human bullies （欺凌弱小者）are often thought to be stronger in size. But for birds, stealing isn't about strength. It takes a clever brain to get food out of another hungry bird's claws, especially if that bird is bigger than you are.

【1】What is the key factor of the birds' stealing food?

A.Body size. B.Living environment.

C.Brain size. D.Strength.

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

A.Stealing birds are often stronger.

B.For birds, stealing is about cleverness and tricks.

C.Birds steal food only from those that are smaller in size.

D.Birds that steal have small brains for their bodies.

【3】The best title for the passage can be .

A.Diet Habits of a Feather

B.Hunting Skills of a Feather

C.Brains of a Feather

D.Thieves of a Feather

23、The expression, “everybody’s doing it” is very much at the center of the concept pressure. It is a social influence applied on an individual in order to get that person to act or believe in a similar way as a larger group.【1】Most people experience it in some way during their lives.

People are social creatures by nature.【2】This instinct explains why the approval of peers, and the fear of disapproval is such powerful force in many people’s lives. This instinct drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work, or to answer a simple “fine” when a stranger asks “How are You?” even if it is not necessarily true. There is a practical aspect to this. It helps society function efficiently. Additionally, it simplifies day-to-day interaction between people.

【3】They may go too far as to abandon their sense of right and wrong. Teens and young adults may feel forced to use drugs; mature adults get into debt because they try to keep up with others by buying expensive things they can’t afford, like houses or cars.【4】A student whose friends are good at academic may be urged to work harder and get good grades. Players on a sports team may feel driven to play harder in order to help the team win.

Although peer pressure is sometimes quite obvious, it can also be subtle that a person may not even notice that it is affecting their behavior. For this reason, when making important decisions, simply going with an instinct is risky. Instead, people should seriously consider why they feel drawn to taking a particular action.【5】

A．However, peer pressure is not always negative.

B．Being self-aware is at the root of managing peer pressure.

C．This influence can be negative or positive in any group size.

D．Giving in to peer pressure can have emotional consequences.

E．They should also question if they are just following the crowd.

F．Some individuals become addicted to seeking social acceptance.

G．Consequently, their self-esteem often comes from others’ approval.

24、When you leave school or college, someone will unavoidably point out that it is not the end and it is only the beginning. Of course the speaker is right. 【1】 To stop increasing your vocabulary is to stop your intellectual growth. Let us offer a series of the steps you must take so that your vocabulary will keep growing and growing.

You must become actively receptive to new words.

【2】 You must train yourself to be on a constant lookout, in reading and listening for any word that other people know and you do not.

【3】

As an adult, you will find most of the sources of your supply of new words in books and magazines. Is your reading today largely restricted only to the daily newspapers? Then you will have to change your habits.

You must learn to add to your own vocabulary the new words you meet in your reading.

When you see an unfamiliar word in a book or in a magazine, do not overlook it. Instead stop for a moment and say it to yourself. 【4】 Then guess its possible meaning in the context of the sentence.

You must set a goal.

If you do something about your vocabulary, you will learn, at least, twenty-five to fifty new words in the next twelve months. In conscious efforts, you can learn several thousands. 【5】 The results of each new day search will be greater and greater once you provide the necessary initial push, once you gain momentum, once you become addicted to looking for new words, finding new words and taking possession of new words.

A．You must read more.

B．Vocabulary building snowballs.

C．You must open your mind to new ideas.

D．No educative process has the end.

E．Get used to its sound and appearance.

F．Words won’t come chasing after you.

G．For now your mind has been alerted to notice it.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

As an only child, Nicole Renae often felt lonely in her youth. But that all changed when she turned ten. For her birthday, Renae’s grandmother surprised her with an adorable gray puppy named Chloe. From the very start, the two were inseparable. “She was my best friend,” Renae says. Every ounce of love Renae gave, the little dog returned tenfold. “She was such a sweet dog,” Renae says. “She’d lick your face forever if you didn’t stop her.”

But when Renae was 14, her father got a new job and he’d be working at home, so the house needed to be completely quiet. Chloe barked a lot so they had no choice to give it up to a humane society. Though they were optimistic that the dog would find a new home with people who loved her, they couldn’t know for sure.

In time, Renae got married, and had a child of her own. But her family didn’t feel quite complete. Remembering the joy that having a dog had brought her as a kid, Renae wanted her daughter to experience the same. She decided that she would adopt a puppy, and then one day she saw a post on Facebook about a senior dog that needed a new home. The dog in the photograph looked a lot like Chloe — she was even named Chloe. In an instant it was decided: She would adopt this older dog.

注意：

1.续写词数应为100左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

When she met Chloe, Renae found that the dog seemed so familiar.
