I was quickly labeled a “brain.” I did so well that by the end of senior year I had perfect grades and enough college credits to give up an entire quarter of coursework. But in early June of senior year, the principal called me into office. He asked me to give a speech at gradation. I gaped(目瞪口呆地凝视)at him, my heart thumping. This was the reward for my hard work? I mumbled something and fled the office, blaming myself for staying away from physics, a subject sure to have broken up my perfect record. I finally agreed to a compromise. I would share the honor with five other students. I agreed to introduce my friend Judy, who would then give her own, full-length speech. Graduation day soon arrived. I’d been practicing my speech for days, and I had it memorized. The first half hour of the ceremony passed in a blur, and then my moment came. My name was announced. I managed to reach the podium without falling down. I faced my classmates. My voice trembled a little, but mostly it was clear and strong. But within seconds, I was done and heading back to my seat. I accomplished something I’d never dreamed of—I spoke in front of hundreds of people. Although I didn’t realize it at the time, the successful completion of that speech gave me the confidence to participate in class at college, to give verbal reports, and to eventually break free of my shyness. I never would have chosen to give a speech at graduation-or ever. But I’m glad I did. I no longer hesitate when I’m faced with the prospect of doing something I dread. I know it may very well turn out to be one of my shining moments. 24. Why was the writer called a “brain”? A. She was a bookworm all the time B. She was the head of her small group C. She was the most intelligent student D. She did more coursework for good grades. 25. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. She ruined her health by studying hard B. She got the reward beyond expectation C. She was grateful for giving a speech D. She wasn’t good at physics at school 26. How did the author feel at the beginning of the graduation speech? A. Scared B. Moved C. Excited D. Embarrassed 27. What did the speech bring to the author at last? A. She had nothing to fear in life B. She got rid of her sense of shyness C. She won enough college credits D. She desired to become a speaker C Electronic devices can seem like a “third party" in some relationships because some partners spend more time on them than with each other. When Amanda Gao, a 26-year-old white-collar worker in Beijing, went to a hotpot restaurant with her boyfriend on Friday night several weeks ago, she expected that they would have a good time together. To her disappointment, however, it did not turn out that way later. As soon as they were led to their seats and she began to order dishes, he buried himself in his mobile phone “It seemed that his phone was making its way between us. A date that should have belonged to us turned into one where my boyfriend dated a third party and I felt left out. " Gao said. some people, like her, have found that electronics have been sabotaging(破坏) their romantic relationships. A study, published in the journal Psychology of Popular Media Culture in April 2017, questioned nearly 200 college aged adults who were in committed relationships to report on their and their partner’s smartphone dependency. The results showed people who were more dependent on their phones were less sure about their relationships, and people who considered their partners excessively (过度地) dependent on their devices were less satisfied in their relationship. Lin Yuan, a relationship advisor in Beijing, noted that as more and more electronics come out and spice up people’s lives, they are at the same time becoming a third party in relationships, especially for young people. Lin said she knew of some people who suggest that electronics should be kept out of bedrooms, which she considered challenging and hard to be put into practice for most couples. She recommended that if people are feeling neglected in their relationship, they need to respectfully let their partners know their feeling. “Communication is always the best and the most efficient way,” she said. 28. What is Gao’s feeling when entering the restaurant with her boyfriend? A. Disappointed B. Expectant C. Annoyed D. Uneasy 29. Which of the following may Lin Yuan agree with? A. Gao’s boyfriend is addicted to playing games B. Most couples can keep electronics out of bedrooms C. Partners should communicate more to understand each other better D. Couples should stop using electronics to avoid the problem mentioned above 30. Why was the case of Amanda Gao mentioned? A. To explain who the “third party” is B. To stress the importance of electronic devices C. To encourage advisors to talk about the case D. To introduce the phenomena of excessively depending on electronics 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Are devices killing romance? B. How to beat smartphone C. The romantic story of Miss Gao D. The relationship between man and smart phone D You might make a disgusted face when you notice that the person waiting in their car at the red light next to you is picking their nose, but admit it, you do it too. And while it might be the natural option when there isn't a box of tissues around, it can be bad for you. The main reasons people feel the need to pick their nose is to clear it of dried liquid, stop an itch（痒）,or just because it feels good. Boogers（鼻屎）form when dried liquid and cilia, the tiny hairs that line the nostrils（鼻孔）,trap the dust, dirt, and other things. When boogers build up in your nose, it can be uncomfortable, and sometimes just blowing into a tissue （纸巾） doesn't do the trick. Otolaryngologist Erich P.Voigt, MD,told Business Insider that picking your nose can cause injuries and bleeding within your nostrils. That's not terribly damaging, but when the bacteria from your hands get into your body, it can cause a cold and flu. So doctors strongly suggest not picking the nose. If dry winter air is causing the dirty liquid to harden in your nostrils,making you want to pick,consider damping the air at home,or taking a steam shower to soften things up in there. Children,who are most famous for having a finger up their nose, sometimes don't realize how much injury they're causing, and sometimes it. can lead to nose bleeds. So, next time you go to pick your nose, think about how many bacteria are on your hands and in your boogers, and maybe reach for a tissue instead. Even if you 're alone, and not waiting for the light to turn green, please, use a tissue. 32.Why do people pick their nose? A.Because they want to disgust others. B.Because they have the need to do it. C.Because they have nothing else to do. D.Because they don't have tissues around. 33.Which of the following can replace the underlined part " do the trick" in Paragraph 1? A.act B.stop C.play D.help 34.Which can help people avoid a cold and flu according to the text? A.Stopping nose picking. B.Using tissues regularly. C.Taking a shower every day. D.Keeping the air wet at home. 35.What should you do when you have to pick your nose? A.Be careful not to cause bleeding. B.Use a tissue instead of bare fingers. C.Wait for the light to turn red if you are driving. D.Wash up your hands and clear your fingernails. 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。 How to Become an Activist (活动家) Activists are people who see the need for change and devote their time to doing something about it. 36 If you are interested in it you can do so. 37 This could be anything from a student club to a national organization (like the American Civil Liberties Union or the National Organizers Alliance).
