9、first time I heard about my classmates engaging with social media was in the fourth grade. A few of my friends and some of my classmates had excitedly jump onto platforms like Instagram at such a young age. On the other hand, I hesitated. I only knew the basics, but was foreign to some words on soci
10、al media.All throughout middle school, I stuck with the same thinking. And no as a freshman in college, I am looking back and wondering why I have never been naturally interested in social media.Scanning Instagram, you ought to find dozens of pictures of people in beautiful countries, taking part in
11、 exciting activities, and spending time with friends and family, among many other things. The thought of doing this never resonated with me. I respect and understand those who believe using social media allows them to express themselves and share aspects of their lives others. However, I have never
12、had any interest in doing the same. In my eves, family gatherings and friend get-togethers are just as, if not more meaningful when not shared with others.Most people have experienced feeling insecure and unconfident on social media. Images that are changed represent unrealistic beauty standards tha
13、t can only be obtained through dangerous ways. Even without using social media, I knew that using apps like Instagram and Facebook would make me embarrassed of all the aspects that make me a unique individual. I never wanted to look at a post on social media and immediately compare myself and my lif
14、e.I constantly observe my classmates getting easily distracted (使分心) by social media. While trying to complete their homework, they have a powerful urge to open up Instagram or Facebook to see if there are any new messages. With homework and after-class activities consuming the majority of my day, I
15、 cannot wait to finish every task on my to-do list, so I can finally spend time with my family or have some time for myself to relax from my busy day.4What can we know from the first two paragraphs?ASocial media are popular with students.BYoung pupils suffer from social mediaCThe author has no acces

18、amily always enjoys first priority.DStudents pay more attention to social media than to study.Some birds are inner decorators, placing big, showy feathers (羽毛) in their nests. But rather than decorating their homes, these birds may be trying to frighten nest-stealing neighbors.Karen Wiebe is a behav
19、ioral ecologist at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada. She and her colleague Slagsvold saw birds placing large feathers on the surfaces of nests. Those feathers wouldnt help with warmth. The researchers wondered whether the birds might be using the decorations to send a message.For
20、birds that nest in holes, competition for nests can be really violent. These somewhat rare holes can also hide danger because predators (掠夺者) may be hiding inside. If a nest contains feathers or other remains, it might be evidence that a predator had been there. Those holes might not be as desirable
21、.Wiebe and Slagsvold assumed that some birds may use feathers to create a mock (模拟的) kill site.During spring, when nest competition is the most violent, the scientists set up pairs of nesting boxes. One box contained white feathers. The other either contained no feathers or black feathers. Inside th
22、e boxes, black feathers were more difficult to see than white ones. Using video cameras, the researchers spied on how birds reacted to the boxes. When birds took longer to enter, that suggested the animals were scared.Birds hesitated to enter boxes with white feathers. But when feathers were in fron
23、t of a nest, birds jumped right up and grabbed them. That suggested that birds werent afraid of the feathers themselves.“It was really interesting to discover that birds were using a trick to help them keep their nests.” Wiebe says. When a bird leaves its nest to search for food, that opens the door
24、 for a nest stealer. “But if it can buy a little time by scaring away predators with these feathers, then it has a better chance of coming back in time to defend its nest site.”8What makes the competition for nests intense among birds?AThe warmth of nests.BThe cruelty of predators.CThe colour of fea
25、thers.DThe quantity of holes.9Why did scientists set up pairs of nesting boxes?ATo prove that birds are good at decorating their nests.BTo explore when birds compete for nests most severely.CTo test whether birds send messages through decoration.DTo investigate if birds are afraid of the feathers th

27、 with each other for nestsBbirds living environment faces great risksCbirds may scare off competitors with a trickDbirds feathers can guarantee their nests safetyThere are some basic ways that we encounter potential new friends, the first of which is closeness. When we cross paths regularly, live in
28、 the same neighborhood, or share a workstation in the office with someone, it makes sense that acquaintanceship may deepen into friendship as a result of the consistent exposure that occurs through the use of shared space. While there is an old saying, familiarity generates disrespect, the opposite
29、is also true, we tend to like someone more as we spend increasing amounts of time with them.Shared life stage is the second way that we frequently find new friends. We take satisfaction and pleasure when spending time with people who are experiencing the same challenges or rewards that we are experi
30、encing. When we move from high school to college or college to our first job, we tend to seek out the company of others who are experiencing the same transformation we are.Shared interests are also a reliable path to friendship making. When we get into a new fitness program or start making our own b
31、eer, we are going to be bumping into new people who share these interests whether its through chatting in the juice bar or trying to decide what to buy at the craft beer making supply shop.We know that there are three paths that lead to new friendship pools where we are likely to build our social ne
32、tworks, but do we ever know right from the start that weve met a friend? Science suggests it is absolutely possible. While we may all have felt the same excitement of instant connection with someone, the “someone” who generates that feeling of warmth in us is going to tell us a lot about who we are
33、as individuals and what we think we need in a friend or partner.While we may run across potential friends through some ways, there remains a bit of mystery as to why we “click” with some potential friends and not with others.12Whats the common understanding of closeness?AIt leads to more shared spac
34、e.BIt creates a mental distance.CIt helps establish relationships.DIt makes people more attractive.13As a fresh staff in a company, you are more likely to be a friend of _.Asomeone who lives in your communityBsomeone who has richer work experienceCsomeone who gets the job together with youDsomeone w

36、 preference for someone.BIts easy for people to be friends right from the first meeting.CFriendships cant develop between those with diverse tastes.DPeople tend to possess the same interests after becoming friends.二、七选五For years, Jessica and Eric have lived down the street from their favorite sandwi
37、ch shop. Despite its being so close to home, they preferred to dine in, and always tipped generously when they did. But, during the pandemic in 2020, the cafe temporarily closed, then reopenedfor takeout orders only. So their new routine became to order online, go pick up their food, and eat it at h
38、ome. _16_That is, until the day they drove up and a waitress ran out to meet them. “I was wondering if Im doing something wrong, because you never leave a tip,” she said. Eric attempted to explain: “Because we arent being waited on, we didnt think tipping was necessary.” _17_ “She stormed off.” Jess
39、ica says.The pandemic has been particularly hard on people working for tips. Some havent been able to do their jobs at all, while others dont interact with customers the same way. _18_ Meanwhile, many customers felt the need to tip more because of the new risks and hardships that essential service w
40、orkers suddenly faced.“_19_ We were tipping based on emotion, and that may not have had anything to do with the service. And that service also became harder to assess.” says Toni Dupree, a professional etiquette (礼仪) coach. Some old standards no longer seem fair, and several newer ones will apply lo
41、ng after the pandemic is over.Next time, in Duprees view, youre unsure whether a tip is in order, follow this simple rule: _20_ The novelist George Eliot asked, “What do we live for if not to make the world less difficult for each other?” Dupree adds: “Tipping well is one way to make things easier f
42、or someone else.”AWhen in doubt, tip.BThat made it worse.CIt is service itself that counts.DTipping never crossed their minds.ETo enjoy good services, tipping is a must.FJust as many services have changed, so should tipping.GTips dried up in either case, causing a lot of people to suffer.三、完形填空The m
