Looking out of my window today reminded me of another day just like this one, a day when I was searching for a special blue bird. I thought it had been talking to my grandmother about me.

One day grandmother asked me to buy some bread. On the way home I gave my bread to a black dog. I really wanted to keep her but I knew my mother would not allow.

An idea occurred to me. I got to our back gate, carefully dug a hole under the fence, and left the rest of the bread right at the hole. Then from the front door I went down the drive and through to the backyard. I got there just in time. She was trying to reach the bread at the hole. I held her front paws and pulled her through. She ate up the bread and I was delighted that my idea had worked.

When I got inside, I told my grandmother that my bread was eaten by a stray dog. I was very pleased with myself for not having to lie. We suddenly heard scratching coming from the back door. Seeing her, grandmother asked me, “Where did that come from?” “She must have come in under the gate.” I pointed out the hole under the back gate. Grandmother told me she thought it was I who brought the dog home. I looked at my grandmother’ s face and asked, “How did you know?” She said, “A little bird told me, a little blue bird told me.” I reminded her I had not told a lie. She grinned and said, “No you did not lie. But the truth you told was not the whole story either.”

I spent most of that summer making sure the blue birds stayed out of the yard. I remember watching grandmother giggling a little as she watched me.

Years later I found out that grandmother had been looking out of the breakfast room window and watched me dig the hole, run back into the yard and pull the dog through. She and my mother laughed about it. Anyway, we kept the dog (even after she delivered 13 puppies) until she passed away with snow-white on her snout and around her eyes.

4. How did the dog get into the house?

A. From the hole under the fence. B. From the bakery at the back door.

C. From the front door and the drive. D. From the breakfast room window.

5. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A. The bird. B. The scratching noise. C. The dog. D. The hole.

6. Why did grandmother grin?

A. Because she knew the truth. B. Because she once talked to the bind.

C. Because she thought I told the truth. D. Because she loved the dog too.

7. How did the writer feel about keeping the dog?

A. Frightened and puzzled. B. Concerned and happy.

C. Tolerant and sympathetic. D. Delighted and carefree.

C

Have you ever found picking out the face of a friend in a group photo is sometimes hard, especially when everyone crowds together? In the same way, it can also be hard to read a passage of text when the letters are too close together. In fact, a new study shows that spacing the letters farther apart can help anyone read faster, and possibly understand more.

Dyslexia is a common reading disorder. Crowded text was especially difficult for people with dyslexia to read. So researchers wanted to see if increasing the spacing between letters would help.

Steven Stagg, a scientist, studies how people think and learn. His team recruited 59 students between 11 and 15 years old, thirty-two of whom had dyslexia. While the researchers recorded them, each student read two passages out loud. One passage was in its original format. In the other, there was an increase of 2.5 points in the spacing between the litters. The recording allowed the scientists to measure their reading speed and count any mistakes, such as skipped words.

People with dyslexia often employ aids to help them read, such as colored overlays (覆盖物). This time they are offered by the researchers. Those colored overlays didn’t help either group of kids. However, kids with dyslexia read the wider-spaced text 13 percent faster than the text with original spacing. These kids also made fewer mistakes. Students without dyslexia read faster, too, although only by 5 percent.

This is very good news It means teachers and publishers can print material with extra spacing between litters. Readers with dyslexia won’t feel singled out by having to use special aids for reading. An organization called Readability Matters is working on these issues. The group is trying to get tech companies to make changes that should make reading easier.

Stagg says, “Some methods have shown mixed results, but Letter spacing seems to be the one thing that everyone is finding works.”

8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A. To make the article interesting.

B. To present a common problem.

C. To lead to the topic of the article.

D. To provide a new solution.

9. What do you know about people with Dyslexia?

A. They may understand everything while reading wider-spaced text.

B. They may read faster than normal kids while reading wider- spaced text.

C. They may free from dyslexia after increasing letter spacing.

DThey may feel singled out while using colored layouts for reading.

10. In which column of a newspaper can we probably find this passage?

A. Science study. B. Campus life.

C. Star stories. D. Business.

11. What is the best title for the text?

A. Readers Try to Improve Reading Speed

B. You Just Need More Space

C. Colored Overlays Are Helpful Aids

D. Dyslexia Affects Reading Speed

D

China’ s booming coffee business has made it the second most important market for global giant Starbucks, behind only its home U.S. market. But it’s also providing fertile ground for new and innovative (勇于创新的) players catering to local preferences. One of the latest in that group is Shanghai-based chain Manner Coffee, which, together with other similar homegrown names, are reshaping the country’s coffee drinking landscape.

This year alone has seen 16 financing events in China’s coffee sector, with more than 5 billion yuan ($784 million ) pouring into the space. Even the infamous Luckin Coffee, which was removed from the Nasdaq last year after being exposed for massive fraud (欺诈), is once again attracting investors’ attention.

Dubbed (被称作) as a seller of “street coffee” priced between 10 yuan and 20 yuan per cup, equal to $ 3 or less, Manner quickly became popular among young office workers for its less expensive price and high quality.

Manner and the other up-and-comers are thriving on a China coffee market that is growing at a healthy 15% per year. After expanding slowly in its first three years, Manner’s store count rose from just eight at the end of 2018 to 194 this year, with 165 in Shanghai and the rest in Beijng, Shenzhen, Chengdu and other cities. It plans to keep expanding outside of Shanghai by opening up to 100 new stores a year.

Meanwhile, Starbucks reported its same-store sales in the Chinese market grew by just 19% in its financial third quarter, down sharply from 91% growth in the previous quarter, due in part to weak year-ago figures from stores affected during early stages of the pandemic in 2020. The company forecast that growth would slow further still in the following years.

12. What does the underlined phrase “fertile ground” in paragraph 1 probably mean here?

A. Limited space. B. Fat chance.

C. Rich soil. D. Necessary conditions.

13. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Starbucks is creating the country’s coffee-drinking landscape.

B. Starbucks was removed from the Nasdaq last year due to fraud.

C. Manner Coffee has a cheaper price and superior quality.

D. Manner Coffee plans to expand is overseas market.

14. What is the purpose of mentioning Starbucks in the last paragraph?

A. To show that new players are starting to bite into Starbucks’ lunch.

B. To prove that Luckin Coffee is an unusually successful hit.

C. To explain the fast increase of Starbucks in the Chinese market.

D. To present the promising future of the U.S. coffee market.

15. What’s the text mainly about?

A. Manner Coffee becomes fashionable worldwide “street coffee”.

B. Manner Coffee joins hand with Starbucks to develop business.

C. Manner Coffee replaces Starbucks both at home and abroad.

D. Manner Coffee takes on Starbucks in China with “street coffee”.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

What is empathy?

Empathy is the ability to share and understand the feelings or emotions of others.

Types of empathy

There are three different ways to think of empathy. First, there is affective empathy. This is the ability to share the emotions of others. For example, someone watching a scary movie may feel scared when a character is scared. Second, there is cognitive empathy. This is the ability to understand the feelings of others. A good example is a counselor. Counselors may understand that someone they are speaking to is sad, but that does not mean the counselor becomes sad. Finally, there is emotional regulation. ____16____.  For example, doctors need to control their emotions when doing surgery on a patient. They cannot be afraid of hurting them or sad for them because they are sick.

Depending on the situation

____17____ . It may not always be positive. For example, strong positive empathy feelings for members of our own family might lead to negative emotions like hate toward those we see as a threat. ____18____.  For instance, people might feel more empathy for people who look or act like them. People who are good at reading others’ emotions might also trick other people for their own benefit.

Measuring stick

____19____ . These typically ask people to tell how much they agree with certain statements. They might say they strongly agree or they disagree. One statement might be, “It affects me very much when one of my friends is upset.” This would measure how much affective empathy someone normally feels.

Our brain has evolved to be able to quickly change under different circumstances. ____20____ . It can help us to understand others so we can help them. Sometimes, though, we need to be able to switch off our empathetic feelings to protect our own lives and those of others.

A. Having empathy is very useful

B. Empathy is often measured with surveys

C. This refers to the ability to control one’s emotions

D. Sometimes it could be helpful to feel less empathy

E. People experience pleasure when their opponent fails

F. Sometimes we may feel too much empathy for our own groups

G. Empathy helps humans respond appropriately to different situations

After leaving a store, I returned to my car, only find that I’d locked my keys and cell phone outside. A boy which rode his bike saw me kick a tire and say a little choice words. “What’s wrong?” he was asked. I explained my situation. “But even if I could call my wife,” I said anxious, “she can’t bring me her car key, since this is our only car.” He handed me her cell phone. “Call your wife and tell her I’m going to get her key.” “That is a seven-mile round trips.” “Don’t worry about it.” An hour later, he returned with the key. I offered him some money, and he refused. “Let’s just say I needed the exercise,” he said. Then, like an cowboy in the movies, he rode off into the sunset.

【52题答案】

【答案】                                                                                       I loving reading

As a book lover, I read all the time.

Why is reading so attractive to me? For starters, reading helps me discover a new world, a world of dreams and magic. Another reason is that reading is fun, not because it tells me something, but because it stirs my imagination. It can also allow for creative and critical thinking.

When it comes to my favorite book, the answer must be Charlotte’sweb. Although it is a kid’s book, I believe it will stay with me as I grow up. I like Dr. Dorian very much. What he teaches me is trying not to fear what I don’t understand. When Fern’s mother worries about Fern’s talking with animals, Dr. Dorian comforts her even though people think a doctor must know everything, he never lets it worry him because he can’t make it, which really relaxes Fern’s mother. It helps me too.

Keep reading, making yourself a better person.
