The world can be a scary place when you’re young. It can be even scarier when you’re a young little blue penguin(企鹅)—the tiniest of the penguin species. Luckily, there are some humans willing to help. They stepped in to protect Billy, a blue penguin that appeared on a beach in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Spotted on November 29 at the slipway at Moncks Bay, near Sumner, in Christchurch, the little penguin immediately attracted a small crowd. Jeff Mein Smith saw the crowd while he was bicycling that afternoon, and he biked home to get his camera. When he returned to the scene, he found that the penguin had received a little sign, one that read “Hi, I’m waiting for my mum to come back. DOC(Department of Conservation) knows I’m here. Please leave me alone. Keep your dog away. Thanks. Billy—the baby blue penguin.”
Billy didn’t move away from the sign. The DOC arrived later that afternoon to pick up Billy, though they were surprised to see it on the beach. “It’s unusual for a blue penguin to be out in the open on the beach during the day,” Anita Spencer, a DOC senior ranger, told Stuff.
Billy was taken to the Christchurch Penguin Rehabilitation Center after being retrieved from the beach. Volunteers believe the bird may actually be a female penguin, and is around 2 months old. The chick weighs a mere 550 grams, less than a standard basketball. A blue penguin should weigh around 900 grams at this age. Most little penguins grow up to weigh 1 kilogram.
The center will help the little penguin gain some weight by feeding it fish juice, before it’s set free into the ocean.
24. Why can the world be frightening to a young penguin?
A. It is a rare species.
B. It faces potential danger.
C. It is surrounded by wild animals.
D. It is threatened by cats.
25. It can be inferred from the text that Billy________.
A. weighs less for its age.
B. has expressed its thanks.
C. is a male penguin.
D. prefers living on the beach.
26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “retrieved” in paragraph 4?
A. Ignored. B. Cured. C. Given away. D. Brought back.
27. What will happen to Billy in the center?
A. It will be reported to Stuff.
B. It will be visited by the locals.
C. It will be taken good care of.
D. It will be fed with fruit juice.
C
Who’re happier, men or women? Research shows it’s a complex question and that asking whether males or females are happier isn’t really that helpful, because basically, happiness is different for women and men.
Women’s happiness has been declining for the past 30 years, according to recent statistics. And research shows that women are twice as likely to experience depression compared with men. Gender(性别) differences in depression are well confirmed and studies have found that biological, psychological and social factors contribute to the differences.
Early studies on gender and happiness found men and women were socialized to express different feelings. Women are more likely to express happiness, warmth and fear, which help with social bonding and appear more consistent with the traditional role as a primary caregiver, while men display more anger, pride and disrespect, which are more consistent with a protector and provider role.
Recent research suggests that these differences are not just socially, but also genetically related. Studies have looked into these findings further and discovered that females use more areas of the brain containing mirror neurons(镜像神经元) than males when they process feelings. Mirror neurons allow us to experience the world from other people’s view, to understand their actions and intentions. This may explain why women can experience deeper sadness. Women tend to experience more negative feelings, such as more guilt, shame and to a lesser degree, embarrassment.
Psychologically it seems men and women differ in the way they process and express feelings. With the exception of anger, women experience feelings more strongly and share their feelings more openly with others. Studies have found in particular that women express more appreciation—which has been linked to greater happiness. This supports the theory that women’s happiness is more dependent on relationships than men’s.
28. Which feeling are men more likely to show compared with women?
A. Warmth. B. Depression. C. Happiness. D. Disrespect.
29. What factors cause women to share feelings more openly?
A. Psychological factors. B. Biological factors.
C. Educational factors. D. Social factors.
30. One can probably read the text from________.
A. a science fiction B. a culture brochure
C. a nursery guide D. a health magazine
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. Men and women differ in biology and psychology.
B. Men and women experience happiness differently.
C. Social roles have a great effect on men and women.
D. Women’s happiness has declined in the past years.
D
Born in the State of New York on May 14th, 1984, Mark Zuckerberg was an instant success. In his high school years, he was considered one of top students in the class, before moving into the arts, sciences, and literature, again picking up high marks and receiving academic praise. It earned him admission to Harvard University.
As a rebellious yet relatively quiet student, he created a website called Facemash in the university—an instantly controversial website that encouraged students to rate each other based on appearance.
The site was controversial for several reasons. The first was its illegal use of photographs, which the university and students took issue with. The second was its controversial nature—not every student likes being ranked based on their appearance. The third was its huge resource use—while it was hosted on Harvard servers, it was the most popular page in the university’s entire network.
Zuckerberg was soon forced to shut the site down, but its popularity and controversy had made him consider its future potential. He soon turned the simple site into a personal one for Harvard students, encouraging them to network with their peers at the college. It was then, together with his two friends, that they launched “The Facebook”, which immediately spread to other colleges and grew into a public service that anyone could access in the United States, whether to network with friends and family, or to play games.
The company has been criticized frequently, nevertheless, Zuckerberg has remained true to his initial vision—to create a website that the entire world can use to communicate openly and easily with one another and to keep the user experience clean and pure. The end result is one of the world’s biggest online businesses.
Although its true value is debatable, it’s safe to say that Facebook, and its creator Mark Zuckerberg, are two of the twentyfirst century’s most influential, controversial, and potentially powerful figures.
32.What can we know about Mark Zuckerberg when he was a student?
A.He was often praised by teachers for the website he created.
B.He had good academic performance.
C.He alone created a website called Facebook.
D.He encouraged students to set up business like him.
33.Why did Zuckerberg shut the site down?
A.Because his website was not popular.
B.Because he was doubted for the way he used photographs.
C.Because he needed time to reconsider his choice.
D.Because he stole resource on Harvard server.
34.Which words can best describe Zuckerberg?
A. Easygoing and smart.
B. Quiet and shy.
C. Rebellious and creative.
D. Talented and outgoing.
35. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Mark Zuckerberg and His Facebook
B. The Foundation of Facebook
C. A Talent from Harvard University
D. The Development of Facebook

“I adore dancing,” says Lester Bridges, the owner of a dance studio in Iowa. “I can’t imagine doing anything else with my life.” Bridges runs dance classes for all ages. “Teaching dance is wonderful. 37.

The world can be a scary place when you’re young. It can be even scarier when you’re a young little blue penguin(企鹅)—the tiniest of the penguin species. Luckily, there are some humans willing to help. They stepped in to protect Billy, a blue penguin that appeared on a beach in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Spotted on November 29 at the slipway at Moncks Bay, near Sumner, in Christchurch, the little penguin immediately attracted a small crowd. Jeff Mein Smith saw the crowd while he was bicycling that afternoon, and he biked home to get his camera. When he returned to the scene, he found that the penguin had received a little sign, one that read “Hi, I’m waiting for my mum to come back. DOC(Department of Conservation) knows I’m here. Please leave me alone. Keep your dog away. Thanks. Billy—the baby blue penguin.”
Billy didn’t move away from the sign. The DOC arrived later that afternoon to pick up Billy, though they were surprised to see it on the beach. “It’s unusual for a blue penguin to be out in the open on the beach during the day,” Anita Spencer, a DOC senior ranger, told Stuff.
Billy was taken to the Christchurch Penguin Rehabilitation Center after being retrieved from the beach. Volunteers believe the bird may actually be a female penguin, and is around 2 months old. The chick weighs a mere 550 grams, less than a standard basketball. A blue penguin should weigh around 900 grams at this age. Most little penguins grow up to weigh 1 kilogram.
The center will help the little penguin gain some weight by feeding it fish juice, before it’s set free into the ocean.
24. Why can the world be frightening to a young penguin?
A. It is a rare species.
B. It faces potential danger.
C. It is surrounded by wild animals.
D. It is threatened by cats.
25. It can be inferred from the text that Billy________.
A. weighs less for its age.
B. has expressed its thanks.
C. is a male penguin.
D. prefers living on the beach.
26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “retrieved” in paragraph 4?
A. Ignored. B. Cured. C. Given away. D. Brought back.
27. What will happen to Billy in the center?
A. It will be reported to Stuff.
B. It will be visited by the locals.
C. It will be taken good care of.
D. It will be fed with fruit juice.

Who’re happier, men or women? Research shows it’s a complex question and that asking whether males or females are happier isn’t really that helpful, because basically, happiness is different for women and men.
Women’s happiness has been declining for the past 30 years, according to recent statistics. And research shows that women are twice as likely to experience depression compared with men. Gender(性别) differences in depression are well confirmed and studies have found that biological, psychological and social factors contribute to the differences.
Early studies on gender and happiness found men and women were socialized to express different feelings. Women are more likely to express happiness, warmth and fear, which help with social bonding and appear more consistent with the traditional role as a primary caregiver, while men display more anger, pride and disrespect, which are more consistent with a protector and provider role.
Recent research suggests that these differences are not just socially, but also genetically related. Studies have looked into these findings further and discovered that females use more areas of the brain containing mirror neurons(镜像神经元) than males when they process feelings. Mirror neurons allow us to experience the world from other people’s view, to understand their actions and intentions. This may explain why women can experience deeper sadness. Women tend to experience more negative feelings, such as more guilt, shame and to a lesser degree, embarrassment.
Psychologically it seems men and women differ in the way they process and express feelings. With the exception of anger, women experience feelings more strongly and share their feelings more openly with others. Studies have found in particular that women express more appreciation—which has been linked to greater happiness. This supports the theory that women’s happiness is more dependent on relationships than men’s.
28. Which feeling are men more likely to show compared with women?
A. Warmth. B. Depression. C. Happiness. D. Disrespect.
29. What factors cause women to share feelings more openly?
A. Psychological factors. B. Biological factors.
C. Educational factors. D. Social factors.
30. One can probably read the text from________.
A. a science fiction B. a culture brochure
C. a nursery guide D. a health magazine
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. Men and women differ in biology and psychology.
B. Men and women experience happiness differently.
C. Social roles have a great effect on men and women.
D. Women’s happiness has declined in the past years.

Born in the State of New York on May 14th, 1984, Mark Zuckerberg was an instant success. In his high school years, he was considered one of top students in the class, before moving into the arts, sciences, and literature, again picking up high marks and receiving academic praise. It earned him admission to Harvard University.
As a rebellious yet relatively quiet student, he created a website called Facemash in the university—an instantly controversial website that encouraged students to rate each other based on appearance.
The site was controversial for several reasons. The first was its illegal use of photographs, which the university and students took issue with. The second was its controversial nature—not every student likes being ranked based on their appearance. The third was its huge resource use—while it was hosted on Harvard servers, it was the most popular page in the university’s entire network.
Zuckerberg was soon forced to shut the site down, but its popularity and controversy had made him consider its future potential. He soon turned the simple site into a personal one for Harvard students, encouraging them to network with their peers at the college. It was then, together with his two friends, that they launched “The Facebook”, which immediately spread to other colleges and grew into a public service that anyone could access in the United States, whether to network with friends and family, or to play games.
The company has been criticized frequently, nevertheless, Zuckerberg has remained true to his initial vision—to create a website that the entire world can use to communicate openly and easily with one another and to keep the user experience clean and pure. The end result is one of the world’s biggest online businesses.
Although its true value is debatable, it’s safe to say that Facebook, and its creator Mark Zuckerberg, are two of the twentyfirst century’s most influential, controversial, and potentially powerful figures.
32.What can we know about Mark Zuckerberg when he was a student?
A.He was often praised by teachers for the website he created.
B.He had good academic performance.
C.He alone created a website called Facebook.
D.He encouraged students to set up business like him.
33.Why did Zuckerberg shut the site down?
A.Because his website was not popular.
B.Because he was doubted for the way he used photographs.
C.Because he needed time to reconsider his choice.
D.Because he stole resource on Harvard server.
34.Which words can best describe Zuckerberg?
A. Easygoing and smart.
B. Quiet and shy.
C. Rebellious and creative.
D. Talented and outgoing.
35. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Mark Zuckerberg and His Facebook
B. The Foundation of Facebook
C. A Talent from Harvard University
D. The Development of Facebook
