BThere was once a boy called Joseph Webb. He always loved to show off how many friends he had at school.
One day his grandfather said to him, “Joseph, I bet (打赌) you a big bag of popcorn that you don’t have as many
friends as you think. I’m sure many of them are nothing more than companions (同伴).”
Joseph accepted the bet at once. However, he wasn’t sure how to test whether his classmates were real friends
or not, so he asked his grandfather. The old man answered, “Wait a minute.” Then he left and returned soon as if
carrying something in his hands, but Joseph could see nothing there.
“Take it. It’s a very special chair because it’s impossible to be seen. It’s rather difficult to sit on, but if you take
it to school and manage to sit on it, you’ll start its magic and it’ll be able to tell who your real friends are.”
Joseph, brave and determined, set off for school with the strange and invisible(隐形的) chair. At break time,
he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. Having difficulty seeing it.
Joseph tried to sit on the chair but he missed the seat and fell straight onto his backside. Everyone around him had a
pretty good laugh.
“Wait! Let me try again,” Joseph said. But again, he missed the seat, causing more surprised looks and a few
catcalls. Joseph didn’t give up and keep trying to sit on the magic chair. But he kept falling to the ground until
suddenly he tried again but didn’t fall. Looking around, Joseph saw three of his best friends holding him up.
However, many others he had thought of as friends had done nothing but made fun of him.
And there, the show came to an end. Joseph understood that true friends were those who cared for him, and
not just the companion that happened to be passing by. And someone who took joy in his misfortunes (不幸) was
not a real friend.

Imagine this. There’s an apple and a piece of cake on a table. Which one would you like? The delicious cake
or the healthy apple? A bestseller, Willpower Rediscovering Our Greater Strength, suggests that willpower (意志
力) is the ability to make decisions that are better for us in the long term, rather than in the short term.
Here is a famous experiment in the book: the marshmallow (棉花糖) test. In 1972, Professor Walter Mischel
tested the willpower of 600 four-year-olds to six-year-olds. In the experiment, each child was left alone in a room
for fifteen minutes with a marshmallow on a table in front of them. They were given two choices: they could
either eat it or, if they waited fifteen minutes, they’d be given a second one and then they could eat both.
So, what did the kids do? Well, as you can imagine, 70% ate the first marshmallow within the fifteen
minutes. But the other 30% showed willpower they controlled themselves and waited for the second marshmallow.
But then Mischel discovered something really interesting. Twenty years later, he got in touch with the
children, who, by then, were in their early twenties. And he found that those who’d shown strong willpower were
getting better marks at university and were more popular.
Willpower is like a muscle (肌肉), and the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets. So, if you do daily “self-
control exercises”, such as making your bed or brushing your teeth, you’ll improve your overall willpower. And
daily willpower exercises will help you with those bigger goals, such as studying for an exam or training for a
marathon.
Be careful though. Just like any muscle, your “willpower muscle” can get tired. If you’ve had to do lots of
things that require willpower, take a break or give yourself a treat. That way, you’ll build up your willpower again.
And one last thing, the writer mentions people who learn foreign languages usually have a lot of willpower.
So, congratulations!
31. From the marshmallow test, we can learn that ______.
A. the kids felt difficult to make choices B. most of the kids showed weak willpower
C. marshmallows could help improve willpower D. the kids could eat one marshmallow every fifteen
minutes
32. The writer probably agrees that ______.
A. willpower should be kept practicing without any stopB. willpower can be built up by dealing with difficulties
C. strong willpower can help people achieve their goals
D. strong willpower can help people make right decisions
33. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The finding of the experiment. B. The process of the experiment.
C. The purpose of the experiment. D. The background of the experiment.
D
We’ve all felt confused before. The feeling of not knowing what the answers or solutions are can make us feel
useless, stupid, and cause us to worry.
People are often likely to think the person who has all of the answers is smarter than the one who asks a lot of
questions. As a result, people often try to hide their confusion in different ways. People sometimes act as if they
have the answers. At other times, people make guesses or create an answer even if they know it isn’t right.
But confusion might actually be a good thing. When we jump to an answer, we don’t have time to explore (探
索) the thing we’re confused about. Instead of paying no attention to your confusion, accepting it and taking the
opportunity to think about what’s confusing can benefit our learning. In fact, scientific studies show that confusion
actually leads to deeper understanding. A 2004 study explored six moods that people feel while learning, including
upset, bored, and confused. They found that students who spent more of the lesson confused learned the most. In
another study, scientists tried to confuse students by giving them contradicting (矛盾的) information. Students who
expressed confusion during the lesson did better on the final test. Not knowing the answer to a problem gives us
space to look at different ways to solve it. The feeling of confusion also encourages us to look more deeply into the
problem. In the end, this helps us understand the topic on a deeper level.
Confusion is also important for learning your identity (身份). People find out their identity in two steps. The
first step is exploration, where you try out different groups and values and see what fits. The next step is
commitment, when you decide firmly (坚定地) about some parts of your identity. You make up your mind that you
will act in a way that fits your identity. Exploring your identity can feel very confusing. But a study found, that
people who do the most exploring about who they are have better outcomes such as higher self- confidence and
self-esteem (自尊) later in life.So, instead of trying to hide your confusion, try a new method, ask for help, or research different ways to deal
with the problem to work through your confusion.
34. Why does a person try to hide his confusion?
A. Because he wants others to make good judgement on him.
.
B Because he has good ability to guess and create an answer.
C. Because hiding his confusion helps him work out a solution.
D. Because telling others his confusion will make them confused.
35. What is the finding of the studies in Paragraph 3?
A. Good understanding leads to less confusion.
B. Confusion can have helpful effect on learning.
C. Digging deeply into a problem may cause confusion.
D. Confusion prevents the development of self-confidence.
36. The word “commitment” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A. promise B. imagination C. challenge D. argument
37. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To call on readers to study confusion on a deeper level.
B. To tell readers about the research results on confusion.
C. To explain to readers it’s normal to feel confused.
D. To encourage readers to clear up their confusion.
六、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（本题 10 分，每小题 2 分）
You might have noticed that sometimes, when you are playing mobile games, the picture suddenly freezes(卡
顿)because the network speed is o slow. However, these annoying things will soon become a thing of the past, as
China just issued commercial licenses (发放商用牌照）for 5G networks on June 6, 2019. This means that China's
telecommunications companies will be able to offer 5G network speeds to users.
The "G" in "5G"stands for generation. IG let us talk to each other, 2G let us send messages, 3G gave us mobile
data and internet, and 4G made all of these things faster. So what will SG bring?
It will allow us to download an entire HD movie in seconds. The delay(延时)between sending and receiving
data will be shortened. Now, 4Gtakes about 100 to 200 milliseconds, while humans have a reaction time of about
200 to 300 milliseconds. But 5G will get the delay down to I millisecond or less, which is almost real—time.
With the development of 5G, new kinds of technology will be created and used.
Robots will be used to do operations because doctors will be able to control them from somewhere else
without any delay. Self—driving cars will be able to drive more safely because they can smoothly communicatewith each other, traffic lights and road sensors.
5G networks will be powerful, but not perfect. They do have some disadvantages.
On one hand, 5G signals don't go very far. On 4G networks, you can be 10 kilometers away from the nearest
transmission base(传送基站）and don't lose signal. But 5G maxes out at about 300 meters. On the other hand, 5G
signals have a hard time going through walls and rains. This means we will need to build many small transmitters
to make sure 5G signals can be received everywhere. Soon you may see small boxes on every street lamp and
building.
