2． Years ago，I lived next door to an old man named Steve，who told me he hadn't had any friends since quitting his factory job 20 years earlier.Steve sat on his porch（門廊）all day.Across the street was another neighbor，Werner，who usually sat on an armchair on his lawn.The two men，both around the same age，stared at each other but rarely talked.When Steve fell down on the floor，Werner watched as the ambulance crew tried to save him.
Steve and Werner are a handy example for the kind of separation that COVID-19 has visited upon many of us.Although the pandemic has gone now，a separation still exists.The percentage of men with at least six close friends fell by half between 1990 and 2021，according to the Survey Center on American Life.
In short，man is in friendship recession（衰退）.It is the result of social conditioning and 10，000 years of developmental forces，where cooperation has been changed into competition.The invention of the big-screen TV hasn't helped.
A 2020 Oxford University study confirms what many people will readily admit：People prefer to socialize in groups rather than one-on-one.Groups are looser，less private.And shared activities often center on something——a sport，a bar，or a football match.But when the activity goes away，the group often goes with it.
I reconnected with an old friend who had played professional football and I asked him if he was in touch with any of his former teammates. "No，"he said.When football ended，those connections did too.Without that central activity to keep the relationship，they all disappeared from one another's lives.
There was a time when card games or watching the football games was a sort of guilty pleasure，a senseless activity.Now we're learning that these things，or at least the connection they represent，are basic to mental health.
（1）What is the purpose of the first paragraph？
A．To introduce the neighbors.
B．To tell the neighbors' stories.
C．To give an example of separation.
D．To tell the effect of the pandemic.
（2）What did people readily admit in the study？
A．Men prefer one-on-one relationship.
B．Relationships in groups are more private.
C．Shared activities do not center on anything.
D．The group's connection ends after activities go away.
（3）What challenge are men facing now？
A．Friendship recession.
B．Peer competition.
C．Team cooperation.
D．Social development.
（4）What's the author's opinion about card games or watching the football games？
A．A sort of guilty pleasure.
B．Basic to mental health.
C．A kind of senseless activities.
D．Ways to amuse themselves.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5 -
3． Research has revealed many benefits to being in the presence of nature，whether that's walking in a forest，having a small garden or keeping a few household plants.
"One study showed that patients in a hospital who had plants in their rooms reported less pain，lower blood pressure，less tiredness and less anxiety than patients without plants in their rooms，" says Jenny Seham，founder and director of AIM （Arts and Integrative Medicine） in New York.She explains，"Cortisol（皮質(zhì)醇），the stress hormone，has been shown to lower with plant interaction，lowering tiredness and blood pressure.Gardening and caring for plants can help turn people away from negative thoughts or emotions."
Houseplant collections have become a popular social media trend.Jamie Keaton Jones，a psychologist，says，"For many people，tending to plants has become a hobby.This hobby enables them to experience greater comfort and beauty from the presence of living things sharing their space."
"Plants and exposure to greenery have been found to have many mental health benefits，such as lowering stress，decreasing feelings of depression，increasing sociability，restoring focus，improving cognitive performance，improving mood and increasing self-confidence，" says Jones.
Studies have also shown that plants and gardening increase productivity and levels of serotonin（血清素），which is responsible for uplifting mood.
"Rather than focusing on the past or worrying about the future，plant care helps one concentrate on the present moment and provides a feeling of accomplishment，" says Gayle Weill，another psychologist in Washington.
Like any new skill or hobby，taking care of houseplants comes with a learning process.Anyone starting to care for plants should be patient and allow themselves time to learn the basics，leaving room for a little trial and error.
（1）Where can the passage be found？
A．In a science magazine.
B．In a novel.
C．In a history book.
D．In a biography.
（2）What can we infer from Jenny Seham's words？
A．Many hospitals keep plants in the patients' rooms.
B．Doctors will use plants to cure the patients' illness.
C．Keeping a few plants can get us out of tiredness.
D．Caring for plants can keep us away from bad mood.
（3）What can we learn from the passage？
A．Houseplant collections are not popular in recent days.
B．Keeping plants has many physical health benefits.
C．Studies have proved that plants are beneficial for uplifting mood.
D．For many of us，plant care is difficult and takes time.
（4）Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage？
A．Benefits of Keeping Houseplants
B．Research on Keeping Houseplants
C．Ways to Take Care of Houseplants
D．Opinions About Caring About Plants組卷：1引用：1難度：0.3

"Tom's parents are too busy to take care of him，so he doesn't like the weekends，" Tovel whispered.The students around Toval listened carefully and sighed.
"He has to cook by himself at weekends.And sometimes，he steals vegetables from his neighbor's garden!" said Tovel.The classmates shook their heads，for they all knew that middle school students must not steal things from others.
"And he even cheated in some weekly exams，expecting good grades and the teachers' praise，" added Tovel. "No.He couldn't do that!He was cheating himself and ruining his future，" cried the classmates.They all showed sympathy for Tom，and hoped that he could be honest.
For quite a few days，the classmates were all talking about Tom and his fake news.Some students even chatted with him，showing their sympathy and expressing their expectation，which made Tom annoyed and confused.
Knowing that the stories about Tom had spread quickly and made Tom in trouble，Tovel felt bad about what he had done.Tovel wanted to change the situation and beg Tom's forgiveness，but he didn't know what to do. "I am willing to do everything if all will be well again，" he thought.
