When I was 7 and Stevie was 6, our parents taught us how to play chess and other games. Playing games was
our life back then. Stevie and I were very competitive in everything.
We got older and better so our games were more intense, but also more exciting. The strange thing is that I
enjoyed the games vastly and was happy for my brother when he won. But afterwards, I felt my well-being
threatened, and then my confidence suffered.
When I was 10 years old I wanted to be successful at my talents. One day, a light came on in my head. I had to
find something Stevie couldn’t do. It would have to be unique in every way. Before long, I got Jimmy Nelson’s
record on “How to Become a Ventriloquist (腹语师)” and I practiced faithfully every day. After sum vacation, I did
my first show for my class. The response was favorable. I performed for family get-togethers and did shows on a
number of occasions to practice my new skill.
It isn’t easy learning ventriloquism. The difficult part was developing the voice, because at first, it was soft and
hard to hear. I memorized the routines and performed more. With time, I got better responses. The loud laughter was
nonstop, in addition to the applause.
Four years later, my mother purchased a professional ventriloquial figure, which I named. Freddie O’Sullivan.
He was lifelike, with moving eyes, moving eyebrows, and could stick out his tongue. Treating Freddie like a real
person enhanced my performance.
In college, Freddie was well known. He would tell people that he was the only guy that could sleep in the girl’s
dormitory. Over the years, I won many talent awards.
One time, an elderly man looked at Freddie attentively and asked him where he got his trousers. The audience
nearby had tears in their eyes. I didn’t know what was going on until I was told later the gentleman hadn’t spoken for
20 years.
Thanks to my brother, I created a lifetime with Freddie.
24. How did the author feel at first when Stevie won a game?
A. Delighted.
B. Confused.
C. Depressed.
D. Surprised.
25. Why did the author decide to learn ventriloquism?

（新热点）Cracks are very common in concrete structures due to various chemical and physical phenomena that
occur during everyday use. And tiny cracks can be quite harmful because they provide an easy route in for liquids and
gases—and the harmful substances they might contain. For instance，micro﹣cracks can allow water and oxygen to
infiltrate（渗透） and then corrode（腐蚀） the steel，leading to structural failure.
But continuous maintenance and repair work is difficult because it usually requires an enormous amount of labor
and investment.
Scientists have been trying to figure out how these harmful cracks could heal themselves without human
intervention. The idea was originally inspired by the amazing ability of the human body to heal itself of cuts，bruises
and broken bones. A person takes in nutrients which the body uses to produce new substitutes to heal damaged tissues.
In the same way，can we provide necessary products to concrete to fill in cracks when damage happens？
Through long time research，scientists have found an unusual candidate to help concrete heal itself：a fungus
（真菌） called T.reesei. It is found that as calcium hydroxide from concrete dissolved in water，the PH of the fungal
growth medium increased from a close-to-neutral original value of 6.5 all the way to a very alkaline 13.0.Of all the
fungi tested，only T.reesei could survive this environment. Despite the drastic PH increase，its spores（孢子）
germinated and grew equally well with or without concrete.
Scientists propose including fungal spores，together with nutrients，during the initial mixing process when
building a new concrete structure. When the inevitable cracking occurs and water finds its way in，the dormant fungal
spores will germinate. As they grow，they'll work as a catalyst（催化剂） within the calcium﹣rich conditions of the
concrete to promote precipitation of calcium carbonate crystals. These mineral deposits can fill in the cracks. When
the cracks are completely filled and no more water can enter，the fungi will again form spores. If cracks form again
and environmental conditions become favorable，the spores could wake up and repeat the process.
T.reesei is eco-friendly，posing no known risk to human health. In fact，T.reesei has a long history of safe use
in industrial﹣scale production of carbohydrase enzymes，such as cellulase，which plays an important role in
fermentation （发酵） processes during winemaking. Of course，researchers will need to conduct a thorough
assessment to investigate any possible immediate and long﹣term effects on the environment and human health prior
to its use as a healing agent in concrete infrastructure.
28.According to the passage，tiny cracks in concrete structures may lead to________.
A. Disfunction even collapse of the entire structure
B. Continuous maintenance and rebuilding
C. Leakage of liquids and gases
D. Waste of water and oxygen
29.What can we know about T.reesei？
A. It is widely used in building concrete structures.
B. It can survive in extreme environment.
C. It can help concrete cracks become normal again.
D. It is a newly discovered fungi.
30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph？
A. T.reesei might be used on human.
B. The research is still at its initial stage.
C. The research is unreplaceable in winemaking.
D. T.reesei has long-term effects on human health.

（新题材）Small animals like kittens or puppies, a round-cheeked baby, or an adorable stuffed toy can all seem
incredibly cute. They make us go, “Aww!” and want to hug or even squeeze them.
Humans are naturally and universally drawn to cute things. “The visual appeal of cuteness often causes positive
emotions,” says Sanam Hafeez, a neuropsychologist of Comprehend the Mind. “Psychologically, these cute features
lead to feelings of affection and a desire to engage with them in a playful way.” There may even be an evolutionary
basis for this. According to Konrad Lorenz, an Austrian ethologist, most things we see as cute have features that look
like those of human babies. He believed that we’re just exercising our human drive to care for others when enjoying
cute things, a drive that helps us survive.
Cute things or people can have profound impacts on our emotions and behavior. Cuteness can flood us with
feelings of love and well-being, and may cause us to behave in more childish ways. But sometimes, cuteness can lead
to a seemingly opposite response — more aggressive behavior. This is known as “cuteness aggression” and may look
like wanting to squeeze or tightly hug something cute. Cuteness aggression happens when overwhelming cuteness
creates very strong feelings and this helps the brain deal with them so we don’t become emotionally overloaded.
The feel-good qualities of cuteness are seen often in popular culture. “Cute characters, animals, and trends have
become a way for people to connect and share positive feelings,” Dr. Hafeez says. “Cute emojis, stuffed animals, and
cartoon characters are used in social media, advertising, and entertainment to grab attention and create an emotional
bond with audiences.”

Cuteness is also often harnessed in advertising and product branding, which frequently feature cute or adorable
characters to attract customers. One example is animal videos and cute characters that build emotional attachment and
increase loyalty to a brand. These feelings can even affect spending patterns and strengthen people’s connection to a
brand or cause.

（新动向）What your dinner photos on Instagram say about you
Posting pictures on Instagram is a modern day version of writing a journal. It’s all about creating a connection
between ourselves, our lives, friends, family and the wider public. ___35___
Each day, at least 95 million posts are shared on Instagram.
___36___ Some people will post photos of their pets, their holidays or their social life — but in recent years,
posting photos of the food that we eat conveys to the viewer something about the person posting, their personality and
mental state.
If someone posts photos of a meal that they have just cooked, the message they’re trying to convey is that they
are a capable person. For example, if someone is on a health kick, they often seek social approval. If they’ve made a
really healthy meal, they will typically post it with hashtags like diet or health, which tie into other people’s experiences.
___37__
There is also a growing trend of people taking photos of their food when they dine out at a restaurant. ___38___
These Instagrammers often tag places that are considered selective or to have a certain clientele (顾客群), like
celebrities — to indicate that they’re a person of worth. It feeds into their need for social approval and is a way of
boosting their own self-confidence.
If people are on a diet or trying to eat a bit better, they can use platforms like Instagram to track what they’ve
been eating. It’s a way of motivating other people as well as holding themselves responsible, while subconsciously
saying, “____39____” Sharing the diet is a way of both getting attention and taking responsibility from a wider
audience.
A. There are some reasons to post photos online.
B. I’m the sort of person who takes care of myself.
C. I would take responsibility seriously in my diet.
D. It’s the same idea as wanting to feel part of a community.
E. The types of content we choose to post hold significance.
F. It generally implies an attempt to associate with luxury and taste.
G We have a fundamental need to be part of something bigger than ourselves.

（新题材）So many things can keep you from seeing your loved ones in person, from busy schedules to long
distances to a rather unexpected pandemic (流行病). Fortunately, thanks to modern technology, the people we miss
are often only a phone call or text message away. But if you’re someone who prefers typed out messages to verbal
ones, you may want to reconsider. According to science, if you want to feel more connected to the people you’re
talking to, you should call them instead of texting.
A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication interactions that
included voice, like a phone call or video chat, created stronger social bonds than communication through typing, like
text messaging or email.
In the study, researchers used various experiments to gauge connectedness. In one, they asked 20 people to make
predictions about what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned it on
people at random to do one or the other. Although people anticipated that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing
someone’s voice actually made the experience better. “People reported they did form a significantly stronger bond
with their old friend on the phone versus email, and they did not feel more awkward,” study co-author Amit Kumar,
an assistant professor of marketing at the McCombs School of Business, said in a statement.

In another experiment the researchers had strangers connect by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking
using only audio. They found that both forms of voice communication -whether video or audio only-made the strangers
feel significantly more connected than when they communicated via texting.
Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard trained clinical psychologist based in New York City, says people tend to text or
email instead of calling because of convenience, as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can
“correspond information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person”.
Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. “A
phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the message” she explains. “Each party is
more present, and therefore able to gauge the meaning behind the content without thinking about the endless possible
meanings behind words and punctuations.”
40 What did the new study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology find?
___________________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________________ 41.
In the first experiment mentioned in the passage, how do people feel actually when they connected with an old friend
by phone?
___________________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________________ 42.
Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
➢ According to Romanoff, the convenience of text or email lie in its controlled form of communication while a phone
call is more convenient because of its instant access.
