He got dead drunk and walked through a graveyard (墓地) instead of his usual way home.The wind was strong and he thought he could hear a voice calling his name. Suddenly, the ground opened up in front of him, and he fell down, down into an open grave! He could hear the voice more clearly now, calling him. He thought it was the devil (魔鬼) coming for him. The hole was very deep and the inside was black. His eyes became used to the darkness after a moment, and he saw something sitting in the darkness with him. It called his name, and he moved quickly in fear, trying to climb out of the hole. Then it spoke, “You cant get out!” The drunk gave a shout of terrible fear and jumped up more than six feet. He managed to catch the edge of the hole with his hands, climbed out, and ran for home as fast as he could. Inside the open grave, his neighbor Charlie felt very sad. He had fallen into the hole a few minutes before his neighbor. He had thought that they might be able to help each other climb out. Now he was going to have to wait until the next morning and ask someone to bring him a ladder. 21. Why didnt the man go the usual way home? A. It was dark and windy. B. The bar closed late.C. He was drunk. D. He was looking for Charlie. 22. The drunken man gave a shout of terrible fear because _.A. he was afraid of darkness B. he thought he saw the devil C. the person in the grave hit him D. he thought he would never get out 23. What can we infer from the passage? A. Charlie pulled the man into the hole. B. The drunken man ran home for ladders.C. The drunken man didnt recognize his neighbor. D. Charlie also got drunk.BIt seems that people are gradually losing their smartness as smart phones become increasingly important assistants in their lives. As we rely too much on technology instead of our brains, many people have lost three basic abilities. The first skill many people have lost is remembering phone numbers. Because phone numbers are stored in smart phone contacts, theres now no need to dial a number or look at it again. This is fine until you need to call someone for help only to find your phone is not around.And some people may also have lost their sense of direction because some apps can guide people anywhere they want. People get so dependent on them that when they cant use their smart phones, they get lost and anxious. But the worst lost skills may be social ones, meaning that some people are becoming socially disabled. People often bury themselves in their smart phones. As were too absent- minded by whats happening in the virtual some of us have lost conversational skills and sometimes cant even tell whether a person is happy or not. Last August, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, studied 51 students aged 11 and 12 who had over five hours screen time every day. Their task was to tell the emotions of 48 pictures of faces that were happy, sad, angry or scared.The children made an average of 14.02 mistakes at the beginning. But after a five-day camp without electronic products, they made only 9.41 mistakes on average. Luckily, people still have a chance to get these abilities back. You should try to keep your parents numbers in mind for emergencies. You should also pay more attention to street signs and stores, which will help you to draw a mind map and stop you from getting lost. And the easiest solution to social skill loss is to take a break from electronic products.24. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that A. you are able to turn to others for helpB. you are unable to contact others without your smart phoneC. others are unable to get in touch with you by smart phoneD. others are able to call you anytime and anywhere25. The experiment shows that without electronic products, one could A. tell more pictures of faces easilyB. lose the sense of direction frequently C. tell different emotions immediatelyD. recognize more facial expressions correctly26. Overusing smart phones, people will probably A. lose face-to-face communication skills B. have no sense of numbersC. fail to find their destination D. weaken their senses of hearing and sight27. Whats the writers attitude towards electronic products?A. objective B. supportive C. critical D. OptimisticCThese are instructions for making invisible ink using baking soda.Difficulty: EasyTime required: A few minutes What you need:Baking soda Paper Water Light bulb Paintbrush Measuring cup Purple grape juiceHeres how: There are at least two methods of using baking soda as invisible ink. Mix equal amounts of water and baking soda. Use a paintbrush to write a message onto white paper, using the baking soda solution (溶液) as “ink”. Allow the ink to dry. One way to read the message is to hold the paper up to a heat source, such as a light bulb. The baking soda will cause the writing in the paper to turn brown. The second way to read the message is to paint over the paper with purple grape juice. The message will appear in a different color.Tips: If you are using the heating method, avoid igniting (点燃) the paper. Baking soda and grape juice react with each other in an acid-base (酸碱) reaction, producing a color change in the paper. Grape juice concentrate (浓缩物) results in a more visible color change than regular grape juice.28. _ is not needed for making invisible ink.A. Baking soda B. Paper C. Water D. Ink29. Whats the function of the paintbrush?A. To write a message onto the white paper. B. To draw a picture. C. To allow the “ink” to appear. D. To help the “ink” dry.30. Why will the message appear in a different color in the second way to read the message?A. Because there is enough grape juice.B. Because of the special paper.C. Because of the use of water. D. Because baking soda reacts with grape juice.31. From the process, we can know that making invisible ink is _.A. very hard B. a little difficult C. not difficult D. not easyDSupper was not going well for two-year-old Benjamin. As his frustrations escalated to the brink of a full-on tantrum, his 4-year-old sister, Ellie, assessed the scene. Hes angry, she told her mother, Susan Rivers, of Newton, Massachusetts. What can we do to make him happy? With her moms help, Ellie brainstormed a few options. Perhaps they could offer Benjamin a cookie. Or maybe playing with his Legos would bring him out of his spiral. She was really trying to understand his feelings and figure out what strategies she could use to reduce his frustration and cheer him up, Rivers says. Ellies concern for her brother is touching, to be sure. But it could also be the key to her having a more joyful life. Empathy - the ability to understand and be sensitive to other peoples feelings - helps us to be more deeply attached to our family, friends, and even strangers. Empathy is probably the greatest single gift of our species, says Bruce D. Perry, M.D., Ph.D., a senior fellow at the Child Trauma Academy, in Houston, and the coauthor of Born for Love: Why Empathy Is Essential - and Endangered. We wouldnt have been able to survive without creating relationships and groups that could function together.Putting yourself in someone elses shoes is also a crucial building block for other caring emotions. Its how we develop thankfulness, hope, and sympathy（同情）- which is the ability to act on your empathy, explains Christine Carter, Ph.D., a sociologist and happiness expert at the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley. One study there found that kids as young as 18 months could master a key component of empathy: the ability to tune in to peoples emotions. By age 4, they move beyond making physical caring gestures and start to think about others feelings in relation to their own. Many of these responses happen naturally, but you can make a more conscious effort to promote empathy-boosting experiences for your children. Consider these 11 things you can do to raise a truly caring child.32. The first paragraph serves as a(n) .A. explanation B. example C. comment D. conclusion33. In Paragraph 2, Bruce D. Perry .A. makes comments about Ellies concern B. stresses the importance of empathyC. shows his opinions about helping others D. explains the meaning of empathy34. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. Why empathy is so important.B. Why many people dont have empathy.C. How to develop childrens empathy.D. How kids understand peoples feelings.35. For whom is the text most probably written?A. Students. B. Educators. C. Researchers. D. Parents.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 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。Airplane mannersYou get on the plane, take your seat and try to get as comfortable as possible.
