C I'm so glad we're finally leaving this miserable place,"Brianna said to her husband Tom. They were moving to Saturn since they had lived on Neptune long enough to know that this was not where they wanted their children to grow up. “Jimmy, get out of my room!” Mia shouted. “Come on, Mia. I'm done packing. Let me help!” Jimmy, her elder brother pleaded. Mia wondered why her annoying brother wanted to help her. But she finally gave him a blue bag.“You can take it downstairs.” Jimmy carried the bag over his shoulder, nearly falling over under the weight.“What's in here? Rocks?” he asked. “Books,” Mia replied.“Dad told me that Mom had built us a spaceship. There's plenty of space.” “Wow,” the children were amazed as they got on the spaceship. Soon, they were in space. The view was fantastic, but suddenly, they noticed a giant rock in their way. “Is that flying towards us?” Mia asked. “It's an asteroid!” Tom shouted.“Everybody take cover!” Mia screamed as the giant rock hit the spaceship. Everything went dark. Mia opened her eyes. There's a ringing in her ears. She saw her mother and brother lying beside. They were both still. Jimmy didn't seem to breathe. Mia put her ear to his chest.“Thump.” She could hear Jimmy's heart beat. She kept calling his name. Jimmy slowly opened his eyes. Mia hugged her brother closely.“I'm never letting go again.” she said. “My... leg...” Jimmy mumbled. Mia let go, apologizing. “Wow,” Jimmy replied.“That was fast. Didn't expect you to break your promise that quick.” Mia rolled her eyes. Then she found Brianna awake. She and Jimmy moved towards her, helping her upright. “Where's Tom?” Brianna asked. They heard a faint voice.“I am here.” Together, the family made their way to the planet's surface. As they explored, Brianna fell into a hole. “Mom!” Mia shouted.“Are you okay?” “Come down here,” Brianna called. “What's down there?” Tom asked. “Aliens,” Brianna replied. Everyone jumped down. Mia noticed a blue stone behind Jimmy.“Hello!” the stone said. “I'm Pebble, and these are Stony and Gabbry.” Brianna laughed.“Pebble, Stony, and Gabbry. Cute.” “Can we stay with you?” Mia asked. “Just until we find our way to Saturn,” Tom added. The Rock Aliens huddled in a group and discussed for a while. Then Pebble walked over and hugged Jimmy's good leg.“We' ve got new roommates!” she laughed. 31. What did Mia and her family do immediately after they woke up? A. They made their way to the hole. B. They checked on their family members. C. They began looking for the stone aliens. D. They started to explore the unknown planet. 32. What did Jimmy mean by saying the underlined sentence in paragraph 13? A. He didn't accept Mia's apology. B. He reminded Mia to keep her promise. C. He was upset since Mia had hurt his leg. D. He told a joke to make Mia less worried. 33. According to the story, what would most probably happen next? A. The family would fly to Saturn at once. B. The family would build a house for the aliens. C. The family would stay on the planet for some time. D. The family would return to Neptune as soon as possible. D No one wants to be seen as a liar. Liars are considered untrustworthy at best and immoral at worst. And yet, we keep lying to ourselves all the time. “I'll enjoy this sleeve of Oreos today because my diet starts tomorrow,”I might tell myself. Or even— ironically—“I am always honest with myself.” Few people are completely honest with others. Research from the University of Massachusetts on undergraduate students found that 60 percent lied at least once during a 10-minute conversation, and many lied several times. No one is completely honest with themselves, because, the truth hurts. Sometimes, people engage in（参与）self-deception to protect their self-respect or gather courage. For example, if you are not good at public speaking, you might try to increase your courage before a scary presentation by talking to yourself, "I am a great public speaker!" However, to fake it till you make it is one thing; to fake it forever, even to yourself, is entirely different. Such is the case if your success at work or school is the result of cheating but you choose to chalk it up to your own good qualities. All that self-deception takes a lot of work to maintain. It is costly not only because avoiding problems can make them worse but also because the procrastinator（拖延者）must do the mental work of a task over and over, without getting the rewards of actually getting it done. Why write "Change banks" on your to-do list for months on end instead of doing it once and being free of the task? Self-deception will never lead you to the deepest kind of satisfaction. That contentment can be found only within the true version of yourself. Personal honesty is absolutely necessary for personal progress, which psychologists show is a central element of happiness. Progress requires knowing honestly where you are compared with where you have been. If you ignore your weaknesses, you can't correct them. Research shows that self-deception is connected with an inability to see our own weaknesses, which makes self-improvement harder. Refusing to admit that I am a bit worried and nervous might make me feel better in the moment, but it also discourages me from undertaking efforts to change for the long-term good of myself and those around me. 34. Why does the author use the example of Oreos in Paragraph 1? A. To prove that eating snacks affects people's dieting plans. B. To show a common form of self-deception in daily life. C. To stress the popularity of Oreos among dieters. D. To explain why lying to others is harmful. 35. What does the underlined phrase"chalk it up to"in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Add it up to. B. Think of it as. C. Take it away from. D. Write it down as. 36. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A. Making a to-do-list helps avoid lying to yourself. B. Never-ending satisfaction results in self-deception. C. Self-deception is a harmless way to protect their self-respect. D. Admitting our weaknesses is important for self-improvement. 37. What is the writer's purpose in writing this passage? A. To encourage people to stop lying to themselves. B. To introduce a new study about self-deception. C. To tell people to see and correct their weaknesses. D. To show the bad effects of self-deception. 四、词汇运用：本大题共10小题，共10分。 38.
