boring housework and raising little ones.My children，then aged three and five，were just entering kindergarten and school life.At 65，George had recently retired and was seeking a rewarding hobby.For both of us，painting was “it” and we met at a local painting class.Thus began a friendship that was to last until the day he died.George arrived in Australia as an immigrant from Britain with his wife and two children.He worked hard，played hard，and had an opinion about everything.He adored his wife，his family，and his friends.A slim and energetic man，George took pride in his fitness and walked three kilometres every day.As the only male in a painting class full of women，George ruled the roost and we were his hens.He adored his singular role and looked after his brood(一窝雏鸡) with the same attention he gave to everything.He took to painting with great passion(热情)，even transforming the spare bedroom into a studio.A studio！His painting equipment was comprehensive.Ever practical，George housed many of these items in a red metal tool box.After the completion of the course，we still kept in touch.One day when George was about 80 years old，he asked me to come to his house.George explained that he was giving up painting because of his illness and he gave away all his “stuff” to me.I still use much of his equipment today.The most treasured thing is the red tool box.The original shop sticker is still firmly in place although the price has long since worn off.But thats all right because to my mind friendship is beyond price.21Why did the author go to painting class?ATo enjoy school life again.BTo make some new friends.CTo accompany her children.DTo do something interesting.22What might the author think of George?AReliable and caring.BProud and sensitive.CTalented and honest.DSmart and adventurous.23What is the best title for the text?AThe Red Tool BoxBA Friend Is a Second SelfCHave Fun in Painting ClassesDAn Old Mans Life After RetirementBWhen people find themselves in difficult conflicts，they often turn to mediation(调解)Mediators are advised to listen attentively，avoid favoring the ideas of one party，and make both sides feel at ease.Surprisingly，new research that my colleagues and I conducted suggests that，to effectively help people settle their conflicts，mediators should adopt a hostile(敌对的) attitude rather than a calming one.A hostile mediator，we find，brings better results than a nice one.Why would adding more negativity(消极性) to an already hostile situation prove beneficial？Consider how parents typically react when they cant get their children to stop quarreling：“I dont care who started itboth of you，go to your rooms！”At first sight，a calm mediator seems likely to be more effective.But as anyone with brothers or sisters knows，parents seemingly unsympathetic treatment of the situation can have an unusual effect.Children who moments before were troubling each other suddenly become more reasonable due to their unkind parents.In our research，we created situations in which pairs of negotiators were part of a heated conflict.In some cases，the mediator had a “nice” approachcalm and polite.In others，he was hostileaggressive and somewhat rude.Across different types of conflicts，we found that negotiators were more willing and able to reach an agreement in the presence of a hostile mediator than in the presence of a nice one.The main result of the test is not that hostility pays off.In fact，recent research has documented the social costs of negative behavior.For example，being the target of rude behavior reduces peoples performance on a variety of tasks.Other research shows the social benefits of positive behavior.People are more likely to close deals and become future business partners.Even with the widespread social benefits of positive behavior and costs of negative behavior，hostility can pay off in certain situations.24What can we learn about parents settlement of conflicts in Paragraph 2?AIts calming and wise.BIts arbitrary but effective.CIts commonly adopted.DIt harms family relationship.25How does the author support his viewpoints?ABy giving examples and experimenting.BBy analyzing causes and effects.CBy presenting facts.DBy making comparison.26What could be the best title of the text?AThe Significance of Effective MediationBThe Costs of Negative BehaviorCThe Benefits of Positive BehaviorDThe Surprising Power of HostilityCWhen was the last time something important slipped your mind？Maybe it was the answer to a test question，the name of an acquaintance or where you left your keys.Fortunately，memory can be improved so they wont happen that often.Peoples memory has much to do with training and practice.Applying effective means will help improve your memory so that you can access everything you learn whenever you need it.When students want to prepare for a test，they often try to study by simply reading over the material again，copying notes，etc.But these methods of remembering are not always helpful.People remember more when actively taking part in their learning rather than passively receiving it.One great way to do this is to test yourself on the material.Come up with questions about the topic，and try to answer them without looking at your notes.It also helps to try to summarize the material in different ways.You could diagram the information，or you could write your own outline.The more you use the information，the more likely you are to remember it.When I was 8，I began learning to play the flute(长笛)，and my music instructor said that its better to practice for five minutes a day，seven days a week，than for two hours on one day.The same goes for remembering information.The more you spread out the time you spend reviewing information，the more likely you are to remember it.A psychologist named Hermann Ebbinghaus made an important discovery about memory and forgetting.He found that people tend to forget information in a regular pattern.They forget the most information shortly after learning it.The rate at which they forget then slows down over time.Every time people review the information，it causes them to forget less of itwhich means they remember more.So it is vital to review things you want to remember shortly after learning them.Over time，you can review them less and less frequently.27What would happen if something slipped your mind?AYou let your mind wander.BYou think of the answer to a question.CYou fail to remember certain information.DYou keep a persons name in mind.28How does the author support his viewpoints in Paragraphs 2 & 3?ABy making a comparison.BBy giving a summary.CBy conducting experiments.DBy offering examples.29What is the authors story in Paragraph 4 used to show?APractice makes perfect.BRepeated revision is important.CIts vital to insist on what you are fond of.DEfforts play a key part in learning.30What is the text mainly about?AAn explanation of Ebbinghauss theory.BA description of the learning process.CThe approaches to improving memory.DThe relationship between time and memory.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。(2019·广东深圳高级中学适应性考试)You forgot to set your
