9、Allan Baltz of Jonesboro, Arkansas, is familiar with the foster (领养) care system. When he and his twin sister Alice were only four, they came to live with their foster parents Derek and Lesli Baltz.Last fall when Allan got an opportunity to pay it forward, he made it count.During the height of the 2

10、021 shutdown, to keep their kids entertained at home, the family decided to switch up their hairstyles. Lesli dyed her hair red and Alice went blue. Derek tried out a mustache, and Allan went the craziest by growing out a long, beautiful mullet (胭脂鱼发型).When friends pushed Allan to enter the USA Mull

11、et Championships competition, Allan initially wasnt interested because he thought he couldnt win. However, once he learned there was a cash prize, he changed his tune.“He instantly was like Oh, OK. I can do it, and well give the money to kids in foster care.” Lesli said. “He didnt hesitate. He didnt

12、 say, I can get a bike, then give some money away. It was just instant that he wanted to give it away.” After submitting his photo and following up with several weeks of campaigning, Allan took home the top prize in the kids division with more than 25, 000 votes in his favor.He split his winnings be

13、tween two local foster care organizations, Together We Foster and Project Zero, but his impact went far beyond just the $2,500 he donated. His giving heart inspired others to do the same, and he ended up raising an additional $4,500 for the two organizations.“People also started volunteering and don

14、ating,” Lesli said. “A few people that we know decided to start fostering because of Allans story. The way that people hear it and it inspires them to do something about the foster care crisis is really incredible.” Lesli said she couldnt be prouder of Allans heart for helping others and feels truly

15、 lucky to be his mom.4What do the underlined words “pay it forward” mean in paragraph 2?ASpend plenty of money.BPass on love to others.CPay for goods in advance.DWin great popularity.5Why did Allan grow a mullet?AIt was really a good way to have fun.BIt was an extremely popular hairstyle.CIt was req

17、e donation totaling $4,500 in the end.BIt inspired more people to get involved in foster care.CHe helped to successfully solve foster care crisis.DHe luckily won true love and admiration of Lesli.Swimming is a wonderful thing for me exercise, reflection and alone time. The only thing that can ruin a

18、 swim is when I shift my attention from my lane to whats happening in the lanes next to me. I can catch myself racing the person next to me, or comparing our strokes.Comparison is actually not an emotion. Researchers explain that comparing the self with others, either intentionally or unintentionall

19、y, is a common social phenomenon.Comparison is the desire for consistency from one side and competition from the other its trying to be like everyone else, but better. When we compare ourselves with others, we are ran king around a specific collection of “ alike things ” . Im not swimming against Ka

20、tie Ledeckys times, Im just interested in the stranger in the lane next to me. When we compare, we want to be the best of our group. Its not be yourself and respect others for being genuine, but to win. I want to swim the same workout as you, and beat you at it.In general, however, social comparison

21、s are not associated with life satisfaction or the positive emotions of love and joy but are associated with the negative emotions of fear, anger, shame and sadness.Heres what makes all of this really tough: Many social psychologists consider social comparison something that happens to us. More ofte

22、n than not, we dont even know were doing it. This lack of awareness can lead to us showing up in ways that are hurtful to ourselves and others.So we get to choose how were going to let it affect us. My new strategy is to look at the person in the lane next to me, and say to myself, as if Im talking

23、to them, “ Have a great swim. ” That way, I acknowledge the inevitable and make a conscious decision to wish them well, and return to my swim. So far, its working pretty well.8What do we know about comparison?AIt is nothing but an emotion.BIt is trying to be the true self.CIt is to be different and

24、be the best.DIt is to fit in and meanwhile to win.9What may be the authors attitude to social comparison?ACritical.BDoubtful.CIndifferent.DFavorable.10What is the feature of social comparison in the eyes of many psychologists?AIts unavoidability.BIts emotional influence.CIts uncertainty.DIts cultura

25、l root.11Why is swimming frequently mentioned in the text?ATo present a social perspective on a sport issue.BTo use it as an example to support an opinion.CTo describe the right process of solving a problem.DTo show love for sports with a personal experience.A race is on in solar engineering to crea

26、te almost impossibly-thin, flexible solar panels. Stanford University researchers announced they have achieved record efficiencies in a promising class of new materialswhich can be thinner than a piece of paper.According to the study published in the journal Nature Communications, it uses a new mate

27、rial called “transition metal dichalcogenides” (TMDs). They absorb incredibly high volumes of sunlight that reach their surface compared to other solar materials.“Imagine an autonomous drone (无人机) that powers itself with a solar panel atop its wing that is less than six micrometers thick.” said Koos

28、ha Nassiri Nazif, co-lead author of the study.Slimming down is necessary because the king of solar materials, silicon, is much too heavy, large and rigid for applications where flexibility, lightweight and high power are important and excellent.While TMDs hold great promise, research experiments to

29、date have struggled to change more than 2% of the sunlight they absorb into electricity. But the scientists believe they could practically reach 27% efficiency with electrical improvements. That would be comparable with todays top solar panels, silicon included.Nazif told Forbes that the new materia

30、ls are great candidates for next-generation electronics and solar cells. Chipmakers like Intel and the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company are already considering TMDs for their future technology. They could be used in a variety of mobile applications, including self-powered wearable devices

31、and sensors, as well as giving a boost to lightweight airplanes and electric cars.The ultra-thinness does come with engineering challenges, primarily in mass production. When transferring such a layer of TMD to a flexible, supporting material, the TMD layer is frequently damaged.But the team thinks

32、it is possible to overcome these challenges. Should they succeed, it could change solar power as we know it. “Silicon makes up 95 percent of the solar market today.” Nazif told Forbes. “This is why we arent seeing these applications for solar cells today; TMDs are going to change the landscape.”12Wh

33、at is the biggest advantage of TMDs now?AThey have the quality of remarkable thinness.BThey can efficiently turn sunlight into energy.CThey are comparable to top silicon panels.DThey have excellent ability to reflect sunlight.13What does Nazif stress in paragraph 6?AThe appeal of TMDs to chipmakers.

34、BThe expectation for future tech.CThe wide applications of solar energy.DThe future prospects of TMDs.14What can we expect of new solar panels in the future?AThey could power all mobile devices.BThey could be a competitive alternative.CThey will revolutionize the energy market.DThey will be produced

35、 on a large scale soon.15Which of the following is the best title of this passage?AMost Efficient Solar Panels Have Hit the Market.BStanford Scientists Develop a New Green Material.CTMDs Could Be Used for Lightweight Solar Panels.DChallenges Are to Be Overcome to Promote TMDs.二、七选五The best thing you

36、 can do for yourself is to try to be a better person and to consciously improve yourself and your life. Choosing to “ be better ” will not only make you feel better, but will also bring better people, opportunities, and possibilities into your life. Here are some ways to become a better person._16_

37、Admit the good, the bad, and the ugly and embrace it. In order to improve as a person, you first have to be really aware of who you are and who you are not.We are not saying that you should give superficial compliments (赞美), we are saying that you should really compliment someone for something they

38、do or who they are. _17_ And this little gift will make a difference in their lives.Surprise your friends, your partner, or your children. No matter how old we are, we all love surprises good ones, of course. And it doesnt have to be a big gesture, sometimes a simple message, card, or letter is enou

39、gh. Be creative!Creating something that other people can benefit from is priceless. Whether craft or business, whether blog or book, whether special food or an entire restaurant. _18_ _19_ Give up bad habits and replace them with good ones. If you cant give up your bad habits right away, start small

40、 until you can really get rid of them.Is there a person that hurt you in the past, and you still are mad at the person or dont talk to him or her? _20_ Can we develop compassion in any form by dealing with it?ALots of people want to feel valued.BOne mans meat is another mans poison.CSmoking, gossipi

41、ng, or judging please dont!DCan we leave behind the pain or misunderstanding?ETo become a better person, one must always be true to oneself.FCan you give a hand to people that you are not so familiar with?GKeep thinking about how you can add value to your community.三、完形填空For years, Vince Rozmiarek h
