A
We can do many interesting chemical tests in our class. Today, we will use CO₂ to blow up a balloon! Mixing baking soda (小苏打) with vinegar (醋) together can give off the CO₂.
What you’ll need
(1) A balloon
(2) About 40 ml of water
(3) A soft drink bottle
(4) Vinegar or lemon juice
(5) A teaspoon of baking soda
Instructions
●Before you begin, make sure that you pull the balloon long to make it as easy as possible to blow up.
●Put the 40 ml of water into the soft drink bottle.
●Add the baking soda and mix it with water.
●Put the vinegar in and quickly put the balloon over the mouth of the bottle.
What’s happening?
If all goes well, then the balloon should become bigger and bigger! Adding the vinegar to the baking soda creates a chemical effect. The baking soda is a base (碱), while the vinegar is an acid (酸). When the two are mixed, they’ll create CO₂. The gas rises up and runs away through the soft drink bottle. However, it doesn’t get away from the balloon, pushing it outwards and blowing it up.
21. What will be given off when the baking soda and vinegar are mixed?
A. O₂. B. O₃. C. CO₂. D. CO.
22. What should you do before you begin the chemical test?
A. Heat the water. B. Drink some juice.
C. Pull the balloon long. D. Blow up the balloon.
23. What shows that the chemical test is successful?
A. The soft drink bottle is broken. B. The balloon gets smaller suddenly.
C. Something smelly begins to appear. D. The balloon becomes bigger and bigger.
24. What can be used instead of vinegar?
A. Tea. B. Milk. C. Water. D. Lemon juice.
25. Where is this passage most probably from?
A. A storybook. B. A guidebook. C. An art magazine. D. A science magazine.
【答案】21. C 22. C 23. D 24. D 25. D

细节理解题。根据“Today, we will use CO₂ to blow up a balloon! Mixing baking soda with vinegar together can give off the CO₂.”可知,可以利用小苏打和醋反应产生的二氧化碳来吹气球,因此它们二者反应会产生二氧化碳。故选C。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Before you begin, make sure that you pull the balloon long to make it as easy as possible to blow up.”可知,在开始之前,应该先把气球拉长。故选C。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据“If all goes well, then the balloon should become bigger and bigger!”可知,气球变得越来越大表明化学实验是成功的。故选D。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据“The baking soda is a base, while the vinegar is an acid.”可知,醋是一种酸, 所以可以用柠檬汁代替醋。故选D。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。本文介绍了用小苏打和醋发生化学反应产生的气体吹起气球的实验方法。由此推出最可能出自一本科学杂志。故选D。
B
“Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?” Many young people are crazy about this popular topic and they just take a hot personality test called MBTI to find out the answer.
MBTI groups people into 16 types, which start with the letter “I” or “E”, such as “ENTJ” and “INFP”. “I” is short for “Introverted (内向的)” while “E” stands for “Extroverted (外向的)”.
As the standard for personality tests, many companies and organizations depend on MBTI to help them choose people for certain positions. And now in China, Internet users are using it as a tool to guide their lives and relationships.
But there are problems with MBTI. The test is too black and white. The results place people into only one of each of the types. For example, someone is either an introvert or an extrovert. But many people would surely sit somewhere in the middle of these two. For example, when an introverted person is with a group of introverted friends, he might become more social like an “E” person. According to experts, this is called “masking (伪装)”. That is hiding your true personality in some situations.
Research has found that over 50% of people get a different result when they take MBTI for a second time. Some find it hard to answer some questions and they ask, “I like watching TV by myself. But I also enjoy playing with friends. Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?”
The personality test may show something you don’t know about yourself and can even be a fun icebreaker question when meeting new friends. And that’s all it is——for fun. Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn’t mean you really know this person!
26. An “I” person is more likely to ________.
A. be active in social situations B. make quicker decisions in life
C. try to hide his true personality D. enjoy being alone and quiet most of the time
27. The underlined word “positions” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. tests B. jobs C. abilities D. challenges
28. What are the problems of MBTI?
a. The test is too black and white.
b. One has to take it many times to get a result.
c. Some questions are difficult to answer.
d. There are only 2 types.
A. a, c B. a, b C. b, c D. c, d
29. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing the last paragraph?
A. To explain why MBTI is becoming popular.
B. To encourage more people to try the personality test.
C. To help readers have a clear understanding of MBTI.
D. To guide people to know more about themselves through MBTI.
30. What is the best title of this passage?
A. An “I” Person or an “E” Person? B. MBTI, a Test for Your Personality Type
C. A Fun Icebreaker D. Masking Your True Personality
【答案】26. D 27. B 28. A 29. C 30. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了MBTI人格测试,包括其类型划分、应用情况以及存在的问题等。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据“‘I’ is short for ‘Introverted’”以及常识可知,内向的人更倾向于享受独处和安静的时光。故选D。
【27题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“As the standard for personality tests, many companies and organizations depend on MBTI to help them choose people for certain positions.”可知,许多公司和组织依靠MBTI来帮助他们为某些特定的positions选择人员,结合常识,公司选人的目的是为了安排工作岗位,所以positions最接近的意思是jobs,即工作。故选B。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据“But there are problems with MBTI. The test is too black and white.” 以及 “Some find it hard to answer some questions”可知,MBTI存在的问题是测试结果过于绝对,非黑即白,而且一些问题很难回答。文中未提及需要多次测试才能得到结果,MBTI有16种类型,不是只有2种类型。所以a、c正确,故选A。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。最后一段指出人格测试可以展示一些自己不知道的东西,甚至在结识新朋友时可以作为一个有趣的破冰问题,但了解某人的MBTI结果并不意味着真正了解这个人,其主要目的是帮助读者对MBTI有一个清晰的认识,即MBTI有一定作用,但也有局限性,不能完全依靠它来了解一个人。故选C。
【30题详解】
最佳标题题。文章主要围绕MBTI人格测试展开,介绍了它的类型、应用以及存在的问题等,所以选项B“MBTI,一种人格类型测试”作为标题最合适。故选B。
C

The guqin, also known as the yaoqin or jade qin, is an ancient Chinese musical instrument. It has been played for over 3,000 years and is a symbol of Chinese culture. The guqin is made of wood, usually from special types of trees. At first, it had only five strings (弦), standing for metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Over time, the guqin gradually became a seven-stringed instrument. The guqin often has beautiful designs on it, showing its importance in Chinese culture.
The sound of the guqin is different from other instruments. It is calming and peaceful, making the instrument perfect for relaxing or thinking deeply. To play the guqin, a person uses both hands. One hand plucks (弹拨) the strings to make sound, while the other hand presses the strings to change notes.
In ancient China, the guqin was popular among educated and intelligent people who enjoyed literature. They played it to relax and express their feelings. The guqin was seen as a symbol of wisdom and was often used during important cultural events. Today, people still play the guqin. Learning to play the guqin takes time and patience. It is a skill that is passed down from teachers to students.

“Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?” Many young people are crazy about this popular topic and they just take a hot personality test called MBTI to find out the answer
MBTI groups people into 16 types, which start with the letter “I” or “E”, such as “ENTJ” and “INFP”. “I” is short for “Introverted (内向的)” while “E” stands for “Extroverted (外向的)”.
As the standard for personality tests, many companies and organizations depend on MBTI to help them choose people for certain positions. And now in China, Internet users are using it as a tool to guide their lives and relationships.
But there are problems with MBTI. The test is too black and white. The results place people into only one of each of the types. For example, someone is either an introvert or an extrovert. But many people would surely sit somewhere in the middle of these two. For example, when an introverted person is with a group of introverted friends, he might become more social like an “E” person. According to experts, this is called “masking (伪装)”. That is hiding your true personality in some situations.
Research has found that over 50% of people get a different result when they take MBTI for a second time. Some find it hard to answer some questions and they ask, “I like watching TV by myself. But I also enjoy playing with friends. Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?”
The personality test may show something you don’t know about yourself and can even be a fun icebreaker question when meeting new friends. And that’s all it is——for fun. Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn’t mean you really know this person!
26. An “I” person is more likely to ________.
A. be active in social situations B. make quicker decisions in life
C. try to hide his true personality D. enjoy being alone and quiet most of the time
27. The underlined word “positions” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. tests B. jobs C. abilities D. challenges
28. What are the problems of MBTI?
a. The test is too black and white.
b. One has to take it many times to get a result.
c Some questions are difficult to answer.
d. There are only 2 types.
A. a, c B. a, b C. b, c D. c, d
29. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing the last paragraph?
A. To explain why MBTI is becoming popular.
B. To encourage more people to try the personality test.
C. To help readers have a clear understanding of MBTI.
D. To guide people to know more about themselves through MBTI.
30. What is the best title of this passage?
A. An “I” Person or an “E” Person? B. MBTI, a Test for Your Personality Type
C. A Fun Icebreaker D. Masking Your True Personality
C

The guqin, also known as the yaoqin or jade qin, is an ancient Chinese musical instrument. It has been played for over 3,000 years and is a symbol of Chinese culture. The guqin is made of wood, usually from special types of trees. At first, it had only five strings (弦), standing for metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Over time, the guqin gradually became a seven-stringed instrument. The guqin often has beautiful designs on it, showing its importance in Chinese culture.
The sound of the guqin is different from other instruments. It is calming and peaceful, making the instrument perfect for relaxing or thinking deeply. To play the guqin, a person uses both hands. One hand plucks (弹拨) the strings to make sound, while the other hand presses the strings to change notes.
In ancient China, the guqin was popular among educated and intelligent people who enjoyed literature. They played it to relax and express their feelings. The guqin was seen as a symbol of wisdom and was often used during important cultural events. Today, people still play the guqin. Learning to play the guqin takes time and patience.
