【原文】W: Well, my name is Cindy and recently I’ve finished a tour, which is not the type of thing I’d usually go for. But because we won it, we didn’t have to pay anything. We didn’t get off to a good start though because the bus from the airport to the hotel was awful. It took ages. The trip was all inclusive so all drinks and meals were included in the price. The drinks were fantastic. The hotel food was either tasteless or too hot, but the waiters were all friendly and knowledgeable. John decided he wanted to take a trip to a museum, so I went along. Actually, I didn’t really like it. It was pretty disappointing. I surely preferred being near the ocean. The beach was amazing and I went there several times. In the week, John went off on his own into the mountains, but I stayed in the hotel. I once tried going on an elephant ride, but it was terrible. Elephants frightened me, so I gave up. The two weeks went by so quickly. We got back last night. And all in all I think it was a great trip, really relaxing. I’m so glad we entered the competition.

Xie Xiaohua has been working as a special education teacher for the past 26 years. Because of her adherence (坚守) to her work, she has won the heart of hundreds of children in special needs.
“It is my greatest happiness to care for them,” said the 48-year-old Xie, who has been working at a special education school since 1996. Fully aware of the difference between special education and general education, Xie provides specialized care to each student according to their physical conditions and helps them with learning and living. For example, she had taken the responsibility of looking after a student with physical disability for nine years until the student graduated from the school.
In 2013, Xie’s workload became heavier after she was assigned(指派) to work at the school’s rehabilitation (康复) center, which had been built ten years ago. To make sure that every child received suitable training, she worked out specific plans for them. For children with mental disability, Xie patiently taught them to master basic skills. She also spent lots of time training children with hearing and speech problems to work on their pronunciation.
Starting in 2015, the school carried out an activity of offering door-to-door education to students who could not attend school because of severe physical disabilities. Xie was among over 30 teachers tasked with tutoring(辅导) those students. The teachers have walked over 60, 000 kilometers over the past seven years because many villages where the students live are located in mountainous areas.
“Although we do feel tired sometimes, we feel our work is valuable after seeing their progress, even just a little bit.” Xie said.

(他充分认识到特殊教育与普通教育的区别,根据每个学生的身体状况,为他们提供专门的照顾,帮助他们学习和生活。)”以及第三段中“For children with mental disability, Xie patiently taught them to master basic skills. She also spent lots of time training children with hearing and speech problems to work on their pronunciation. (对于智障儿童,谢老师耐心地教他们掌握基本技能。她还花了很多时间训练有听力和语言问题的孩子们提高发音。)”可知,谢老师的学生们有一些是残疾人,以及智障儿童,他们很难过上正常的生活。故选A。

It’s really a challenge for people to find consistent motivation to exercise regularly. Wishing not to hit gyms, you can invent tons of excuses. However, out of most people’s expectation, a certain amount of physical exercise every week can stop your IQ from declining.
IQ, to a large degree, is determined by genes. It has long been established that genes account for about 70 percent of IQ. And environmental factors, like diet, quality of education and brain stimulation, affect the other 30 percent.
IQ can be put into two types — “fluid” and “crystallized” intelligence. The former refers to the ability to reason and think flexibly, while the latter refers to the build-up of knowledge, facts, and skills that are acquired throughout life. The two have a dynamic relationship: fluid IQ decides how much information you can take in and how fast you can take it in, which means a higher fluid IQ contributes to your crystallized IQ. They keep growing until your early twenties, when they both reach the peak. Unfortunately, this will not keep the same for the rest of your life. Fluid intelligence declines rapidly with age.
What causes this decline? It all comes down to your cardiovascular (心血管的) system. It calls for a large amount of oxygen for the brain to function well. The less exercise you have as you get old, the less oxygen your heart provides to supply your brain. Exercise also promotes the release of certain chemicals that are critical to the brain’s health, bringing about better concentration and memory.
Taking proper physical exercise can help to prevent IQ from declining as you get older. Why not choose to hit the gym for the sake of IQ intelligence?
28. How is the second paragraph mainly developed?
A. By making comparisons. B. By listing the numbers and data.
C. By explaining the reasons. D. By giving examples.
29. Which of the following is right according to this passage?
A. Crystallized intelligence develops more slowly than Fluid intelligence.
B. Fluid intelligence is more important than Crystallized intelligence.
C. A lower fluid intelligence is not good for Crystallized intelligence.
D. Fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence increase with age.
30. What problem should be to blame for the decline of IQ intelligence?
A. A mental disorder. B. A bad mood.
C. A lack of flexibility. D. A weak heart.
31. What’s the purpose of writing this passage?
A. To persuade people to exercise.
B. To inform people of IQ intelligence.
C. To criticize those who are lazy.
D. To advertise for gyms.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要讲述了体育锻炼对于保持智商的重要性。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“IQ, to a large degree, is determined by genes. It has long been established that genes account for about 70 percent of IQ. And environmental factors, like diet, quality of education and brain stimulation, affect the other 30 percent.”(智商在很大程度上是由基因决定的。长期以来,人们一直认为基因约占智商的70%。环境因素,如饮食、教育质量和大脑刺激,影响着另外30%的人。)可知,第二段主要是通过列出数字和数据展开的。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“fluid IQ decides how much information you can take in and how fast you can take it in, which means a higher fluid IQ contributes to your crystallized IQ.”(流体智力决定了你能接收多少信息以及你接收信息的速度,这意味着更高的流体智力有助于你的晶体智力。)可推知,流体智力较低对流体智力不利。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“What causes this decline? It all comes down to your cardiovascular (心血管的) system. It calls for a large amount of oxygen for the brain to function well. The less exercise you have as you get old, the less oxygen your heart provides to supply your brain. ”(这都取决于你的心血管系统。它需要大量的氧气,大脑才能正常工作。随着年龄的增长,你的锻炼越少,你的心脏为大脑提供的氧气就越少。)可知,心脏功能弱为大脑提供氧气变少是导致智商下降的原因。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文尤其是最后一段“Taking proper physical exercise can help to prevent IQ from declining as you get older. Why not choose to hit the gym for the sake of IQ intelligence?”(适当的体育锻炼有助于防止智商随着年龄的增长而下降。为什么不为了提高智商而选择去健身房呢?)可知,短文的目的是劝说人们锻炼。故选A。
D
Both Alice and Curie love traveling to other countries, and they came together for this hobby. Though they had been married for 5 years, their shared hobby is also a source of contention. “It is I who do all the planning and book,” says Alice. “Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy it, but if Curie cared a little more about it, he wouldn’t show up for a flight to Grenada packed for a winter break. ‘Jumpers and boots!’ I cried. ‘You’re supposed to have packed shorts and T-shirts — it’s 30℃ in the Caribbean!’ Then I realized he thought we were going to Granada, in Spain.
How Alice and Curie each deal with their travel plans is just an example of the many ways in which men and women differ. Yet, is what goes on inside our minds and bodies really so different? Furthermore, are we born that way?
Scientists are divided on this issue. The majority of them believed that patterns of behavior thought to be more male or female are learnt firstly from our parents, then from our peers and, ultimately, from the societies in which we live. As Simone de Beauvoir famously said, “one is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.”
However, some other scientists believed that male and female brains are actually wired differently. In one study in which 34 monkeys were required to interact with different types of toys, the males showed a strong preference for toys with wheels rather than soft toys, while the females were noticeably drawn to soft toys. These preferences were clearly not the result of parental influence.
Whatever the truth behind the differences between men and women, we can safely conclude that although the social impact on how we think and behave is undeniable, there exists a biological contribution. The question that now needs answering is to what extent biology affects the choices we make and the way other people treat us.
32. The function of the first paragraph is ________.
A. to show how women are different from men
B. to show how angry the wife is
C. to lead in the topic of this passage
D. to make the author’s argument clearer
33. What does the underlined sentence in the 3rd paragraph mean?
A. Females and males are biologically different.
B. Females become different from males in many aspects.
C. Scientists’ opinions vary about how females and males differ.
D. Social impact leads to the difference between females and males.
34. The study of monkeys proves that ________.
A. males and females are born different
B. males and females are influenced by their parents and peers
C. monkeys, like human beings, have their own characteristics
D. monkeys of different sexes have different preferences
35. What will most probably be talked about to follow the last paragraph?
A What causes the differences between men and women.
B. How men and women are biologically different.
C. Why males and females are different.
D. Where the differences between males and females take place.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍男人和女人在行为模式上不同的原因。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Both Alice and Curie love traveling to other countries, and they came together for this hobby. Though they had been married for 5 years, their shared hobby is also a source of contention.(爱丽丝和居里都喜欢到其他国家旅行,她们因为这个爱好走到了一起。虽然他们已经结婚5年了,但他们共同的爱好也是争吵的根源)”可知,Alice和Curie的旅行计划的处理方式是男性和女性差异的一个例子,这引出了文章的主题,即男性和女性的差异。故选C。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Scientists are divided on this issue. The majority of them believed that patterns of behavior thought to be more male or female are learnt firstly from our parents, then from our peers and, ultimately, from the societies in which we live.( 科学家们在这个问题上意见不一。他们中的大多数人认为,被认为更男性化或更女性化的行为模式首先是从我们的父母那里学来的,然后是从我们的同龄人那里学来的,最后是从我们所生活的社会那里学来的)”以及“one is not born, but rather becomes, a woman(女人不是天生的,而是逐渐变成的)”可知,社会影响导致了男女之间的差异。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“However, some other scientists believed that male and female brains are actually wired differently.(然而,其他一些科学家认为,男性和女性的大脑实际上是不同的)”和“These preferences were clearly not the result of parental influence.(这些偏好显然不是父母影响的结果)”可知,关于猴子的研究证明了男人和女人是天生不同的。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Whatever the truth behind the differences between men and women, we can safely conclude that although the social impact on how we think and behave is undoubted, there exists a biological contribution. The question that now needs answering is to what degree biology affects the choices we make and the way other people treat us. (无论男女差异背后的真相是什么,我们都可以有把握地得出这样的结论:尽管社会对我们的思维和行为方式的影响是毋庸置疑的,但也存在着生理上的影响。现在需要回答的问题是,生理上在多大程度上影响了我们做出的选择以及他人对待我们的方式)”可知,作者可能同意的关于性别差异的观点是生理上不同造成了这种差异。由此推知,接下来要讨论的是男人和女人在生理上有什么不同。故选B。

第四部分 任务型阅读(共两节,满分 20 分)
Sadie looked out of the window and sighed (叹气) as she thought about another long, boring day of summer. She wondered what all of her friends from school were doing on their summer vacations. It had to be a lot better than looking out of a window. Sadie thought about the fun she had last summer when she and her best friend Allison went to the beach. They built sandcastles, played beach volleyball, and even tried surfing. But they wouldn’t be going to the beach together this summer because Allison had moved to a different city far away from Sadie’s.
Suddenly, Sadie had an idea. She could call her friend Wendy, who always had funny ideas. Maybe they could ride their bikes together around the park. Sadie raced to the living room, picked up the phone, and called Wendy. She sighed more deeply as the phone rang and rang. Then Sadie seated herself on the sofa, picked up the television remote, and put it down again. She didn’t really want to watch television, so she went to her room and found the list of phone numbers of her good friends from school. In the living room, she called almost each of them, but no one was at home.
After hanging up the phone, Sadie wandered into the kitchen and sat down at the table, watching her mom do the cleaning. “Mom, I don’t have anyone to hang out with because my friends from school aren’t home and Allison moved away,” said Sadie. “Honey, there are many things you can do by yourself, like playing your guitar or having a walk in the garden. You could even finish that story about our camping trip,” said Mom.
“I don’t want to do those things by myself. I want to play with a friend.” “Sometimes, it is nice to do things by yourself,” said Mom. “I like seeing my friends, but I also like doing things alone like taking a walk by myself or finding a quiet spot to read. Why not have a try?”
Sadie thought about her mom’s words and returned to her room.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Sadie在夏天感到无聊,怀念与朋友一起度过的美好时光,并尝试寻找新的活动来打发时间的故事。
【66题详解】
1. 考查动词。根据文章第一段“Sadie looked out of the window and sighed (叹气) as she thought about another long, boring day of summer.(Sadie望着窗外,叹了口气,因为她想到又一个漫长而无聊的夏日。)”可知,Sadie叹气的时候是望着窗外。动词“look”符合句意,设空处为非谓语动词作状语,主语Sadie与look之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,用现在分词形式;出现在句首,首字母大写。故填Looking。
2. 考查宾语从句。根据文章第一段“She wondered what all of her friends from school were doing on their summer vacations.(她想知道学校里所有的朋友暑假都在做什么。)”可知,此时她想知道自己的朋友都在暑假做什么,也就是他们如何度过暑假;设空处引导名词性从句,作动词wondered宾语,从句中缺少方式状语,用连接副词how引导。故填how。
3. 考查形容词。根据文章第一段“Sadie looked out of the window and sighed (叹气) as she thought about another long, boring day of summer.(Sadie望着窗外,叹了口气,因为她想到又一个漫长而无聊的夏日。)”可推测,此时的Sadie感到非常的无聊。单词“bore”的形容词形式“bored”,意为“感到无聊的”,修饰人,在句中作表语。故填bored。
4. 考查动词。根据文章第二段“Suddenly, Sadie had an idea.(突然,Sadie有了一个主意。)”可知,Sadie突然想到了一个主意。单词“strike”,意为“突然想起”,符合句意。根据从句时态可知,本句时态为一般过去时。故填struck。
5. 考查动词。根据文章第二段“Maybe they could ride their bikes together around the park. Sadie raced to the living room, picked up the phone, and called Wendy.(也许他们可以一起在公园骑自行车。Sadie跑到客厅,拿起电话给Wendy打了个电话。)”可知,Sadie想打电话给Wendy一起骑自行车。ride“骑”符合句意,考查短语:call sb. to do sth.,意为“打电话给某人去做某事”。故填to ride。
6. 考查名词。根据文章第二段“Sadie raced to the living room, picked up the phone, and called Wendy.(Sadie跑到客厅,拿起电话给温迪打了个电话。)”可知,Sadie跑到客厅,拿起来电话。此空为原词重现。故填phone。
7. 考查名词。根据文章第二段“She didn’t really want to watch television, so she went to her room and found the list of phone numbers of her good friends from school. In the living room, she called almost each of them, but no one was at home.(她并不是真的想看电视,所以她回到自己的房间,找到了学校里好朋友的电话号码。在客厅里,她几乎给他们每个人都打了电话,但没有一个人在家。)”可知,Wendy没有接听电话,所以Sadie打给了其他朋友。名词“friend”意为“朋友”符合句意;再根据空前的“other”可判断,空处为名词的复数形式。故填friends。
8. 考查形容词。根据文章第二段“She didn’t really want to watch television, so she went to her room and found the list of phone numbers of her good friends from school. In the living room, she called almost each of them, but no one was at home.(她并不是真的想看电视,所以她回到自己的房间,找到了学校里好朋友的电话号码。在客厅里,她几乎给他们每个人都打了电话,但没有一个人在家。)”可知,Sadie打给了Wendy以及其他朋友,可是朋友们都不在家。根据常理可知,此时的她非常失望。单词“disappoint”的形容词形式“disappointed”,意为“失望的”,符合句意。故填disappointed。
9. 考查名词。根据文章第三段““Mom, I don’t have anyone to hang out with because my friends from school aren’t home and Allison moved away,” said Sadie. (“妈妈,我没有人可以一起玩,因为我学校的朋友都不在家,Allison也搬走了,”Sadie说。)”以及下文妈妈的建议可知,Sadie是想向妈妈求助,希望妈妈给出一点建议。单词“suggest”的名词“suggestion”,意为“建议”,符合句意;suggestion为可数名词,根据句意,空处为名词的复数形式。故填suggestions。
10. 考查代词。根据文章第四段““Sometimes, it is nice to do things by yourself,” said Mom.(“有时候,自己做事情很好,”妈妈说。)”可知,妈妈建议Sadie独自做些事情。空处为短语:by herself,意为“她独自一人”,符合句意。故填herself。
【67题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“Suddenly, Sadie had an idea. She could call her friend Wendy, who always had funny ideas. Maybe they could ride their bikes together around the park. Sadie raced to the living room, picked up the phone, and called Wendy. She sighed more deeply as the phone rang and rang. Then Sadie seated herself on the sofa, picked up the television remote, and put it down again. She didn’t really want to watch television, so she went to her room and found the list of phone numbers of her good friends from school. In the living room, she called almost each of them, but no one was at home.(突然,Sadie有了一个主意。她可以打电话给她的朋友Wendy,她总是有有趣的想法。也许他们可以一起在公园骑自行车。Sadie跑到客厅,拿起电话给Wendy打了个电话。电话响个不停,她叹了口气。然后Sadie坐在沙发上,拿起电视遥控器,又把它放下。她并不是真的想看电视,所以她回到自己的房间,找到了学校里好朋友的电话号码。在客厅里,她几乎给他们每个人都打了电话,但没有一个人在家。)”以及文章第三段““Mom, I don’t have anyone to hang out with because my friends from school aren’t home and Allison moved away,” said Sadie. (“妈妈,我没有人可以一起玩,因为我学校的朋友都不在家,Allison也搬走了,”Sadie说。)”可知,Sadie遇到的问题是她在暑期没有人可以一起玩,原因是她的朋友都不在家,而她最好的朋友搬去了其他城市。故答案为The problem Sadie faced was that she didn’t have anyone to hang out during her summer vacation. This was because her friends were not at home and her best friend Allison had moved away to a different city.
【68题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“Sadie thought about the fun she had last summer when she and her best friend Allison went to the beach. They built sandcastles, played beach volleyball, and even tried surfing.( Sadie想起了去年夏天她和她最好的朋友Allison去海滩玩得多么开心。她们堆沙堡,打沙滩排球,甚至尝试冲浪。)”可知,Sadie去年夏天和她最好的朋友Allison去海滩玩,她们堆沙堡,打沙滩排球,甚至尝试冲浪。故答案为Sadie spent her vacation last summer at the beach with her best friend Allison. They built sandcastles, played beach volleyball, and tried surfing.
【69题详解】
考查推理判断。根据文章第三段““Honey, there are many things you can do by yourself, like playing your guitar or having a walk in the garden. You could even finish that story about our camping trip,” said Mom.(“亲爱的,你可以自己做很多事情,比如弹吉他或在花园里散步。你甚至可以把我们露营旅行的故事讲完,”妈妈说。)”以及文章第四段““Sometimes, it is nice to do things by yourself,” said Mom. “I like seeing my friends, but I also like doing things alone like taking a walk by myself or finding a quiet spot to read. Why not have a try?”(“有时候,自己做事情很好,”妈妈说。“我喜欢和朋友们在一起,但我也喜欢独自做一些事情,比如自己散步或找一个安静的地方读书。为什么不试试呢?”)”可推测,听了妈妈的话后,Sadie会尝试自己做事情,并在弹吉他、独自散步、找一个安静的地方读书等活动中寻找乐趣。她还会考虑把他们露营旅行的故事写完。故答案为After listening to her mother’s words, Sadie will try to do things by herself and find enjoyment in activities like playing her guitar, taking a walk alone, and finding a quiet spot to read. She will also consider finishing the story about their camping trip.

Xie Xiaohua has been working as a special education teacher for the past 26 years. Because of her adherence (坚守) to her work, she has won the heart of hundreds of children in special needs.
“It is my greatest happiness to care for them,” said the 48-year-old Xie, who has been working at a special education school since 1996. Fully aware of the difference between special education and general education, Xie provides specialized care to each student according to their physical conditions and helps them with learning and living. For example, she had taken the responsibility of looking after a student with physical disability for nine years until the student graduated from the school.
In 2013, Xie’s workload became heavier after she was assigned(指派) to work at the school’s rehabilitation (康复) center, which had been built ten years ago. To make sure that every child received suitable training, she worked out specific plans for them. For children with mental disability, Xie patiently taught them to master basic skills. She also spent lots of time training children with hearing and speech problems to work on their pronunciation.
Starting in 2015, the school carried out an activity of offering door-to-door education to students who could not attend school because of severe physical disabilities. Xie was among over 30 teachers tasked with tutoring(辅导) those students. The teachers have walked over 60, 000 kilometers over the past seven years because many villages where the students live are located in mountainous areas.
“Although we do feel tired sometimes, we feel our work is valuable after seeing their progress, even just a little bit.” Xie said.
24. Which statement may the author agree with according to the text?
A. Xie’s students have difficulty living a normal life.
B. Xie’s students’ homes are very far away from school.
C. Xie’s students can’t catch up with others in their studies.
D. All Xie’s students can be provided door-to-door education.
25. When was the rehabilitation center in Xie’s school established?

It’s really a challenge for people to find consistent motivation to exercise regularly. Wishing not to hit gyms, you can invent tons of excuses. However, out of most people’s expectation, a certain amount of physical exercise every week can stop your IQ from declining.
IQ, to a large degree, is determined by genes. It has long been established that genes account for about 70 percent of IQ. And environmental factors, like diet, quality of education and brain stimulation, affect the other 30 percent.
IQ can be put into two types — “fluid” and “crystallized” intelligence. The former refers to the ability to reason and think flexibly, while the latter refers to the build-up of knowledge, facts, and skills that are acquired throughout life. The two have a dynamic relationship: fluid IQ decides how much information you can take in and how fast you can take it in, which means a higher fluid IQ contributes to your crystallized IQ. They keep growing until your early twenties, when they both reach the peak. Unfortunately, this will not keep the same for the rest of your life. Fluid intelligence declines rapidly with age.
What causes this decline? It all comes down to your cardiovascular (心血管的) system. It calls for a large amount of oxygen for the brain to function well. The less exercise you have as you get old, the less oxygen your heart provides to supply your brain. Exercise also promotes the release of certain chemicals that are critical to the brain’s health, bringing about better concentration and memory.
Taking proper physical exercise can help to prevent IQ from declining as you get older. Why not choose to hit the gym for the sake of IQ intelligence?
28. How is the second paragraph mainly developed?
A. By making comparisons. B. By listing the numbers and data.
C. By explaining the reasons. D. By giving examples.
29. Which of the following is right according to this passage?
A. Crystallized intelligence develops more slowly than Fluid intelligence.
B. Fluid intelligence is more important than Crystallized intelligence.
C. A lower fluid intelligence is not good for Crystallized intelligence.
D. Fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence increase with age.
30. What problem should be to blame for the decline of IQ intelligence?
A. A mental disorder. B. A bad mood.
C. A lack of flexibility. D. A weak heart.
31. What’s the purpose of writing this passage?
A. To persuade people to exercise.
B. To inform people of IQ intelligence.
C. To criticize those who are lazy.
D. To advertise for gyms.
D
Both Alice and Curie love traveling to other countries, and they came together for this hobby. Though they had been married for 5 years, their shared hobby is also a source of contention. “It is I who do all the planning and book,” says Alice. “Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy it, but if Curie cared a little more about it, he wouldn’t show up for a flight to Grenada packed for a winter break. ‘Jumpers and boots!’ I cried. ‘You’re supposed to have packed shorts and T-shirts — it’s 30℃ in the Caribbean!’ Then I realized he thought we were going to Granada, in Spain.
How Alice and Curie each deal with their travel plans is just an example of the many ways in which men and women differ. Yet, is what goes on inside our minds and bodies really so different? Furthermore, are we born that way?
Scientists are divided on this issue. The majority of them believed that patterns of behavior thought to be more male or female are learnt firstly from our parents, then from our peers and, ultimately, from the societies in which we live. As Simone de Beauvoir famously said, “one is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.”
However, some other scientists believed that male and female brains are actually wired differently. In one study in which 34 monkeys were required to interact with different types of toys, the males showed a strong preference for toys with wheels rather than soft toys, while the females were noticeably drawn to soft toys. These preferences were clearly not the result of parental influence.
Whatever the truth behind the differences between men and women, we can safely conclude that although the social impact on how we think and behave is undeniable, there exists a biological contribution. The question that now needs answering is to what extent biology affects the choices we make and the way other people treat us.
32. The function of the first paragraph is ________.
A. to show how women are different from men
B. to show how angry the wife is
C. to lead in the topic of this passage
D. to make the author’s argument clearer
33. What does the underlined sentence in the 3rd paragraph mean?
A. Females and males are biologically different.
B. Females become different from males in many aspects.
C Scientists’ opinions vary about how females and males differ.
D. Social impact leads to the difference between females and males.
34. The study of monkeys proves that ________.
A. males and females are born different
B. males and females are influenced by their parents and peers
C. monkeys, like human beings, have their own characteristics
D. monkeys of different sexes have different preferences
35. What will most probably be talked about to follow the last paragraph?
A. What causes the differences between men and women.
B How men and women are biologically different.
C. Why males and females are different.
D. Where the differences between males and females take place.

Sadie looked out of the window and sighed (叹气) as she thought about another long, boring day of summer. She wondered what all of her friends from school were doing on their summer vacations. It had to be a lot better than looking out of a window. Sadie thought about the fun she had last summer when she and her best friend Allison went to the beach. They built sandcastles, played beach volleyball, and even tried surfing. But they wouldn’t be going to the beach together this summer because Allison had moved to a different city far away from Sadie’s.
Suddenly, Sadie had an idea. She could call her friend Wendy, who always had funny ideas. Maybe they could ride their bikes together around the park. Sadie raced to the living room, picked up the phone, and called Wendy. She sighed more deeply as the phone rang and rang. Then Sadie seated herself on the sofa, picked up the television remote, and put it down again. She didn’t really want to watch television, so she went to her room and found the list of phone numbers of her good friends from school. In the living room, she called almost each of them, but no one was at home.
After hanging up the phone, Sadie wandered into the kitchen and sat down at the table, watching her mom do the cleaning. “Mom, I don’t have anyone to hang out with because my friends from school aren’t home and Allison moved away,” said Sadie. “Honey, there are many things you can do by yourself, like playing your guitar or having a walk in the garden. You could even finish that story about our camping trip,” said Mom.
“I don’t want to do those things by myself. I want to play with a friend.” “Sometimes, it is nice to do things by yourself,” said Mom. “I like seeing my friends, but I also like doing things alone like taking a walk by myself or finding a quiet spot to read. Why not have a try?”
Sadie thought about her mom’s words and returned to her room.
