Trumans class had studied bees for three days, so he was ready. But, as his teacher Mrs. Lawrence had explained, to earn an A +，he needed a “new angle”.Truman pushed open the front door to find his four-year-old brother, Bryan, sitting on the living room rag, hard at work. Paper towel tubes were all over the floor.Bryan quickly stood up. “Truman, help me build a city!”“Id like to,” Truman replied, “but I have to do a report on beehives and .”“Can I help you?” Bryan begged.“I dont think so, Bry. Sorry.“I know where theres a beehive.” Bryan smiled.“Where?”“In the wood pile by the garage.The boys marched to the firewood. Bending down, Bryan pointed out the hive deep inside the pile. Truman carefully removed the hive out.“You got it!” Bryan shouted.Back in the living room, Truman paced around, turning the fragile hive under his nose. Each cell was a perfect hexagon(六边形). How did the bees fit the cells together so neatly? And how did they make each cell six-sided? Could they count? Lost in thought, his foot came down on something .“Truman! Youre mining my city!”“Get your stupid tubes out of here，Bryan! Im trying to”The towel tubes on the floor suddenly reminded him of something. The beehive!Looking closer, he noticed the tubes were arranged with one in the middle, surrounded by six others, just like the cells of the hive.Just to be sure, he tried five and then seven tubes surrounding the center tubes, but neither way fit. Six was the only number that worked.“Bees dont count to six,” he said aloud. “The cells have to be six-sided.Truman ran to Bryan and threw his arms around his brother. Bryan, you did it!

It soon blossomed into a national organization that today has more than 450 campus chapters. Leaders with the organization spend their time talking with college students about the pressure that todays young people face. “What you hear often is just a need to be perfect,” said Malmon, “and a need to present oneself as perfect.”And a new study in the UK proved that this need for perfectionism is simply part of todays society. In the study, two researchers studied more than 40,000 students from the US, Canada, and the UK. They found that what they called “socially-prescribed (社会定向型的) perfectionism” increased by a third between 1989 and 2020.Lead researcher Thomas Curran said that while so many of todays young people try to present a perfect appearance online, social media isnt the only reason behind this trend. Instead, he said, it may be driven by competition in modern society, meaning young people cant avoid being sorted and ranked in both education and employment. That comes from new norms (准则) like greater numbers of college students, standardized testing and parenting that increasingly emphasizes success in education.For example, in 1976, half of high school seniors expected to get a college degree of some kind. By 2020, more than 80 percent expected the same. The researchers also said changes in parenting styles over the last two decades might have had an impact. As parents feel increased pressure to raise successful children, they in turn pass their “achievement anxieties” onto their kids through “excessive (过多的) involvement in their childs routines, activities or emotions.”Those in the mental health community like Malmon say theyre concerned about the impact the culture of perfectionism has on mental health on campuses. “Mental health has truly become this generations social justice issue,” she said. “Its our job to equip them with the tools and to let people know that its not their fault.”24.What is the article mainly about?A. The effects of the culture of perfectionism.B. Research into the trend of perfectionism.C. A group dedicated to helping people stay mentally healthy.D. Various pressures that todays young people are facing.25.What inspired Alison Malmon to start a group related to mental health?A. Her brothers mental illness.B. Her project during the freshman year.C. The pressure she had experienced.D. Her strong interest in mental health.26.What may be pushing todays young people to struggle to be perfect, according to the article?a. The impact of social media.b. Parents high expectations of their children.c. The decreasing number of college students.d. The fierce competition in society.e. Their desire to draw their parents attention.A. a, b, c B. a, d, eC. a, b, d D. b, c, e27.What does Malmon think is a way to help young people manage the pressure of perfectionism?A. Enabling them to know what is to blame for their pressure.B. Lowering their expectations of themselves.C. Reducing parents involvement in their childrens life.D. Making them aware of what true social justice is.CNorth and South Koreans face a widening language gap caused by 70 years of separation. That is creating some communication problems for the two countries first joint Olympic team as it prepares for 2020 Winter Games in Pyeong Chang. South Korea So, the joint womens hockey team has created its own dictionary. The three-page document translates important hockey terms from English into South Korean, and then into North Korean.Canadian Sarah Murray is the teams coach. She says the document has helped everybody communicate. Team Korea was formed just two weeks ago after the two Koreas decided to suddenly cooperate during the Olympics. Twelve players from North Korea were then added to the 23-member South Korean team.South Korea has incorporated many English words and phrases into its language. North Korea has removed foreign words and created substitutes from Korean words. To many South Koreans, the substitutes sound funny. .Language experts say about one-third of the everyday words used in the two countries are different. The divide is wider with technical language, like that used for medical and sports industries. For example, South Korean hockey players use the English word pass, but their North Korean teammates say yeol lak or communication. North Koreans say nahl gay soo meaning wing player. South Koreans call that position wing, like in English. South Koreans say block shot while North Koreans say buhduh make: or stretching to block.Murray admits that there are still some problems in communication even with the new dictionary. She said her South Korean assistant coach plays an important part in bridging the divide. Some in South Korea have criticized the partnership. They argue that the addition of players from North Korea players may prevent South Korean players from playing as much. One early public opinion study found that about 70 percent of South Koreans opposed the joint team.However, that opposition appears to be lessening as the Olympics near.28.What factor mainly causes the communication barriers for North and South Joint Hockey Team?A. The team was suddenly formed in a hurry.B. They are devoted to preparing the Winter Olympics.C. There exists a gap between the two language.D. They have been separated from each other for 70 years.29.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. South Korean players are so critical of the joint Olympic team.B. There are altogether 35 players in the joint Olympic team.C. Murray from Canada doubts the three-page document in their communication.D. North Korean assistant coach plays an important role in their communication.30.How do the joint team solve the communication problems?A. South Korean brings in English words but North Korean created substitutes from KoreaB. They translate important hockey terms from English into South Korean.C. They translate important hockey terms from South Korean into North Korean.D. They use English to bridge the language gaps with the help of their own dictionary.31.What is the authors attitude towards the joint hockey team?A. Supportive B. Negative C. Objective D. SubjectiveDPolice recently caught the suspected Golden State Killer using a tool they could only have dreamed of decades ago, when a shocking series of murders shook California: a database filled with peoples genetic data (基因数据).Police used an open-source database called GEDmatch to find relatives who matched genetic material taken from an old crime scene, then worked backward to identify and catch 72- year-old former police officer Joseph James DeAngelo.GEDmatchs 950, 000 users voluntarily upload and share their genetic information, making it accessible to others who share their own data including law enforcement (执法). More than a dozen other similar platforms also exist. “If your relatives have contributed and you are part of even a family tree that appears online in one of these shared resources, you can be indirectly tracked through the combination of their DNA and the publicly available family history,” says Dr. Robert Green, a medical geneticist at Harvard Medical School.Data sent to commercial companies like 23andMe, which has over 5 million customers, is much tougher for outsiders to access, but the case has still highlighted the issue of genetic privacy.Although many genetic-testing companies have been asked to cooperate with legal investigations (调查), and clearly warn customers of this possibility, not all requests are honored. “23andMe has never given customer information to law-enforcement officials, ” a company representative told TIME.The risks of keeping such sensitive data private are high. The potential for abuse exists; for example, insurance companies could theoretically use genetic data to refuse coverage (保险项目), Green says. But the systems in place to prevent misuse appear to be working. One is the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, a 2020 law that protects consumers from employment and insurance discrimination related to genetics. As long as thats the case, Green says, the good of genetic tests outweighs the bad.Sharon Zehe, a lawyer for the department of laboratory medicine and pathology at the Mayo Clinic, takes a more cautious approach. “Family tree services can be fun, but make sure you are using a reputable organization that has strong privacy policies in place, ” she says. “Genetic data is biologically as important as a fingerprint.”32.Who is the Golden State Killer?A. Robert Green. B. Joseph James De Angelo.C. The author. D. Sharon Zehe.33.What drives the users to upload their genetic data?A. The Polices force. B. Their relatives advice.C. The bosss order. D. Their own willingness.34.Who might misuse customers genetic data?A. The police. B. GEDmatch.C. Insurance companies. D. 23andMe.35.What is the main idea of the text?A. Genetic data is equal to a fingerprint.B. A 72-year-old killer was put into prison.C. Murders causes concern for genetic privacy.D. Genetic information is shared on the Internet.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Of course you love your parents - thats a given.
