7、(欺凌) by her classmates for the things that made her different her size and her sharp voice. Rather than giving up, Horton decided to pick up a microphone and make sure other children knew they werent alone. “I didnt want other kids to go through that experience,” says Horton, “especially at a very y
8、oung age.” Now, alongside attending eighth grade classes, shes also building an anti-bullying platform to reach students across the country.For as long as Horton remembers, shes felt a special connection to music. She remembers her mother always having the radio on, and her father teaching her how t
9、o deejay (主持) . Music gives her unlimited power to do the duty. “Its music that fuels my mission, allowing me to spread this important message,”she says. Now as the Kid DJ for her hometown team, you can hear anything from the hip-hop classics to songs of her own, including the anti-bullying song “No
10、 You Wont Bully Me”.Her message has reached beyond the DJ set. At 8. Horton turned one of her songs into a 26-page picture book, which has reached thousands of people across America. In the book, she references the over 160,000 students who miss school daily for fear of being bullied.Horton isnt sur
11、e exactly what the future holds, but for now, shes positive about leading her schools student government. “I dont know exactly what Ill be doing, but I know Ill be making a positive influence on the world,” she says. Shes already on her way, but her biggest achievement in her own eyes is persuading
12、others not to doubt themselves along the way. “Dont care what anybody tells you,” she says. “You are never too young to make a change.”4Why was Horton bullied?ABecause of her age.BBecause of her weight.CBecause of her grades.DBecause of her hobby.5What does the underlined word “mission” in paragraph

14、llying AdvocateA little kid is looking at a new picture book. Suddenly it points to a picture and shouts “chair”. The kid makes the right call, but that does not seem particularly interesting to us. We recognize all kinds of chairs as “chair” without any difficulty. For a kid, however, this is a hug
15、e learning process. It must associate the chair pictured in the book with the chairs it already knows even though they may have different shapes or colors. How does the child do that?The answer is categorization. Every time a child meets a chair, it stores the experience. Based on similarities betwe
16、en the chairs, the childs brain will abstract the characteristics and functions of chairs by forming the category “chair”. This allows the child to later quickly link new chairs to the category and the knowledge it contains.Our brain categorizes continuously. “Without categorization, we would not be
17、 able to interact with our environment as efficiently as we do,” Picter Goltstein, a senior professor says. In other words: We would have to learn for every new chair we meet that we can sit on it. “But the general processes of categorization in the brain are largely unknown,” he added.Some scientis
18、ts tested whether mice categorize in a way similar to us. To do so, they showed mice different pictures of different patterns and gave them a sorting rule. The mice were able to learn the rule and reliably sorted the given patterns into the correct category. They even put patterns they had not seen
19、before into the correct categories. Therefore, the study demonstrates for the first time how well mice categorize and approach our ability for abstraction.The researchers found that certain neurons (神经元) in a brain area became active when the mice sorted the patterns. Interestingly, different groups
20、 of neurons reacted selectively to individual categories. After observing the activity of such neurons from the beginning to the end of category learning, the researchers found that the neurons didnt acquire their selectivity immediately, but only developed it little by little during the learning pr

23、ople can say when to categorize.CCategorization develops over time.DAll the neurons respond at the same time.Technology is more than an abstract concept associated with advanced tools and systems. It also shapes the way people behave, grow and develop, both within their own lives and in their relati
24、onships with others. While technology has developed over thousands of years, the last century has seen an explosion in technology that has influenced fundamental changes in how humans see the world and interact with others. Specifically, the Internet and mobile devices have completely changed the wa
25、y people interact with each other. There has been a debate going on whether technology is benefiting human communication or ruining it.Undoubtedly, technology is helping people build newer and necessary communication skills. In business, office employees and managers use technology to send emails to
26、 one another, which is considered a communication skill. On social media, just share a few of your images and people start communicating on and about your images according to their viewpoint. With the outbreak of COVID-19, in order to work on the projects, the students use their phones to reach thei
27、r teachers and classmates.However, technology is sometimes considered to disconnect people from others around them. With cell phones, most people think that its easier and more convenient to text instead of meeting in person. Lucas Lengacher, an undergraduate from Huntington University, claims in hi
28、s article that at least 42.91% people respond to messages immediately yet only 2.83% people dont check their phones in the morning. In his research he “found that almost 60 percent of people felt disconnected from others around when they were on their phones”.12Which has basically influenced human i
29、nteraction according to the passage?APeoples value.BSocial systems.CMobile devices.DCommunication skills.13How is the idea of paragraph 2 supported?ABy analyzing data.BBy providing cases.CBy defining a conceptDBy making comparisons.14What does Lucass research find?APhones are getting more and more p

31、ying to yourself, “You know what, Im going to climb back down and finish this later.”_16_ We have projects that sit waiting to be completed. Some people start college but never graduate. We have books that we never finish reading. _17_ Many people are great at beginning things but cant seem to finis
32、h strong.Not finishing what we started has been a repeated problem for us. We have to face it. _18_ Whenever we delay, or put to the side, the things that will help us accomplish our goals, we stop developing our potential.Not finishing not only causes us to stop making progress but also we find it
33、harder whenever we do decide to start again. Consider this: every time I begin a new exercise program my muscles are sore (疼) for a few days. After a few weeks of routine, the muscles get accustomed to the program and grow stronger. Thus, no more sore muscles. Well, when I take some time off I fear
34、starting again. _19_Strong finishers are able to focus on getting the best result from anything that they start. So how do we know that we are a strong finisher? Along with the huge feeling of accomplishment, other people will begin to notice the change. _20_ They will have no choice but to recogniz
35、e our strong finishing ability. We will be rewarded with more trust from them.AThe list goes on and on.BWe should have the confidence.CWhy dont we have the interest any more?DSounds silly, but that is what we do all of the time.EI know that my muscles are going to be sore again.FThey will see we are
36、 able to climb and conquer the mountain.GNot being a strong finisher can limit our ability to conquer our goals.三、完形填空Cliff Young was a 61-year-old farmer.
