treatment,behavior modification（矫正）or any extraordinary measures.It just happens.Most shy kids grow out of their shyness by their young adult years,and even those who do not get rid of it manage to cope with it reasonably well.They learn how to hide it,mostly because they realize that shyness puts them at a disadvantage in certain situations.I myself am a living example to the transformation.I was socially awkward until I went to college where I tried out for the role of a lead singer in a rock band and suddenly found myself on stage with four musicians behind me and hundreds of people in front of me.My social awkwardness didnt go away until I was forced to make a choice between shyness or being a campus rock star.Thats a no-brainer for an 18-year-old.I had to cure myself of my lifelong shyness,and I did.But this article is not really about childhood shyness.Its about the distinction between a childs personality and behavior.Personality is just like a surface upon which an artist begins a painting.If the artist doesnt like the way his painting is progressing,he can paint over what hes done,but the surface remains as it was at the beginning-a constant(恒量）。Though personality(the surface)doesnt change,behavior(what one puts on top of the surface)can be changed.So,returning to my personal example,I forced myself to overcome shyness,but my closest friends dont even know that Im still the same shy person.My behavior has changed,however.Who changed it?Me!Likewise,as research has found,a child comes into the world with a fairly set personality.He is born more or less to be shy or outgoing.His behavior,however,can change.24.Why can most shy kids grow out of shyness?bapg3iaH A.They get medical treatment.B.They are taught how to hide it.C.They consider shyness to be awkward.D.They are aware of its unfavorable effects.25.What does the underlined phrase“a no-brainer”in Paragraph 3 mean?A.A careless choice.B.An easy decision.C.A stupid person.D.A shy teenager.26.In Paragraph 4,the author presents his viewpoint by _ 320 50000TA A.describing a mathematical constant B.sharing his own personal experience C.comparing the transformation to painting D.giving the definitions of personality and behavior 27.What does the author mainly want,to tell us in this article?A.A child is born with a fairly set personality.B.Friends play a key role in overcoming shyness C.A childs personality and behavior are different.D.Kids can overcome shyness by changing behavior.C Rain is vital to life on Earth.However,rain isnt just made of water anymore-its partly made of plastic.Millions of tiny pieces of plastic,called microplastics,are wandering around Earths atmosphere and traveling across entire continents,according to a study published in one journal on April 12.Microplastics are plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in diameter and come from a number of sources.Plastic bags and bottles released into the environment break down into smaller and smaller bits.Some microplastics are produced deliberately to provide abrasion(研磨）in products,such as toothpaste and cleansers.Another major source is your washing machine.When you wash clothing,tiny microfibers get washed away with the wastewater.Even though the water is treated by a wastewater plant,the microplastics remain,and they are released into the sea.Plastic rain may remind people of acid rain,but the former is far more widespread and harder to deal with.The tiny particles,too small to be seen with the naked eye,are collected by the wind from the ground.They are so light that they stay in the air to be blown around the globe.As they climb into the atmosphere,they are thought to act as nuclei(核心），around which water vapor(水蒸气）combines to form clouds.Some of the dust falls back to land in dry conditions,while the rest comes down as rain.Microplastics have been found everywhere you:can imagine.From:fish and frogs.to mice and mosquitoes,their bodies have been found on average to contain 40 pieces of microplastic.As the top of the food chain,humans are exposed to microplastics;too.“We live on a ball inside a bubble,microplastic researcher Steve Allen said.There are no borders,there are no edges.It rains on the land and then gets blown.back up into the air-again to move somewhere,else.Theres no stopping it once its out 28.What do we know about microplastics?A.They have a diameter of over 5 millimeters.B.They have become a threat to humans.C.They are light and can be easily dealt with.D.They cause acid rain and plastic rain.29.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.Ways to deal with microplastics.B.The wide use of microplastics.C.Where microplastics come from.D.How microplastics pollute water.30.What does Steve Allen want to tell us in the last paragraph?A.No place can be safe from microplastic pollution.B.The atmosphere possesses the ability to self-cleanse.C.Countries should work together to fight pollution.D.Wind causes microplastics to move somewhere else.31.The main purpose of the article is to A.call on people to use fewer plastic products B.warn people of the danger of microplastics C.introduce the sources and effects of microplastics D.make a comparison between acid rain and plastic rain 28.What do we know about microplastics?A.They have a diameter of over 5 millimeters.B.They have become a threat to

fell in love with the little Free Library concept years ago on vacation,The concept of free literature-sharing boxes being posted in neighborhoods and public spaces hooked me.For a booklover,this represented great joy.,At home,my bedside table sprouts(长出）books and from the floor rises a mountainous to-be-rend pile,My husband wasnt the least bit surprised when I suggested starting our own Little Free Library.The following winter,my husband built a copy of our Irish garden shed(棚屋）with a framed glass door on the front and,in the spring,fixed it on a post in front of our house.We filled the shelves with books and since then,visitors have refilled them with literary fiction,romances,mysteries,science fiction,cowboy westerns,young-adult fiction,poetry,self-help and a range of other nonfiction.For a time after COVID-19 first-struck,public libraries shut down and Amazon firstly considered the delivery of essential and high demand items.Books were less easily gained.Traffic to our library increased.I posted reminders about hand washing,and still,readers kept coming.We wondered if we should close the Little Free Library and revisited our original motivations for hosting it:to promote the exchange of books,to create a sense of community.Reading provides the necessary relief to the emotional stress of life.With this in mind,we added a written reminder on staying safe in the library.Through my teens,reading transported me to other places and eras.Books taught me about life and how people overcame difficulties.I no longer felt alone in the things I struggled against.Aside from the entertainment books offer,studies show that reading exposes us to other cultures and perspectives.Literature sheds light on the justice to be found in social inclusion(包容）and community focus.Self-esteem(自尊）and understanding grow in equal measure as we come to understand ourselves and our place in the world.During this pandemic,the Little Free Library has strengthened the importance of literature and reading to our emotional and mental health.Its become an alternative means of creating a community of people with mutual regard for humanity and the written word.We are together even when apart.32.What is the husbands attitude toward building the Little Free Library?A.Supportive.B.Negative.C.Indifferent.D.Doubtful.33.What happened to the authors Little Free Library during the pandemic?A.It was no longer allowed to be used.B.The number of books dropped sharply.C.It was getting more popular than before.D.Hand washing stopped readers coming.34.How did reading influence the writer?A.She faced difficulties bravely.B.She knew how to start a library.C.She managed to live a healthy life.D.She moved from one place to another.35.Why did the writer start the Little Free Library?A.To keep away from loneliness.B.To create a sense of community.C.To stay safe during the pandemic.D.To attract readers to donate books.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。In this day and age,digital gadgets(电子设备）have become a significant part of our daily lives.36 But while gadgets do make peoples lives easier,there are things to look out for in using these technologies.One is how gadgets seem to be taking over peoples social relationships.You might have noticed how everyone is engaged in their gadgets during family gatherings or get-togethers with friends.While they are constantly clicking on their portable devices,real conversations are becoming rare.37 So if you want to spend quality time with each other,you and your friends and family need to sacrifice screen time.38 When youre hanging out with your friends,make it a policy that all devices should be turned off.Of course,everyone should agree on this beforehand to avoid any misunderstanding.39.This could also be a house rule when you have dinner with your family or during any other event with relatives.Another choice could be to turn devices on silent mode,just in case someone is expecting an urgent call or important text.It sounds simple,but turning our eyes away from the screen may be more difficult than you think.40 And while we may be able to carry on a conversation while playing a game,this multi-tasking is definitely going to cause a loss to the quality of the time we spend with others.By removing gadgets in the background,you and your friends can focus on whats really important-spending time w
