2. Alfie Crackmell was the smallest boy in his class. All his school days he had been called all kinds of names — Titch, Tiny, Midget. Today he didn’t care about that because he had something in his pocket that he was not allowed. It was a large bag of sweets which his uncle had given that morning.
Alfie ran out into the playground and made his way up to the top end by the gym. No one hung around up there because it smelt and was cold. Alfie didn’t care. He just wanted to be alone so that he could taste a gumdrop (跳跳糖). The packet was rather sticky and as he opened it he could smell the sweets. He pulled out a large, red gumdrop and popped it into his mouth. He had planned to see how long he could make it last but within a moment he couldn’t help chewing (嚼) madly with excitement, his teeth sticking together.
Suddenly, he heard a noise behind him. He turned round, and leaning on the side of the wall was Billy Boon. The two boys eyed each other. They had never been friends.
“Give me one’”, ordered Billy, taking a step forwards. Alfie knew that it was no good running. Billy was not only the largest boy in the school but also the fastest. He hadn’t got a chance. Alfie dug his hand into his pocket and pulled out an old piece of chewing gum (口香糖) that he had found stuck (粘) under his table in the classroom. He had been saving it up for emergencies.
“Here”, said Alfie, holding the gum out. Billy grabbed it and put it into his mouth.
As soon as his tongue felt the cold, hard gum he knew that Alfie had cheated him, but as he was about to grab him, a voice rose, “Are you chewing, Billy?”
There was silence as Mr Barsby made Billy open his mouth wide, checked to see the contents and then made him throw the gum into a dustbin. Alfie stood by and watched with delight. After all, chewing in school was not allowed. Sweets were not healthy, and Billy should have known it better.

3. Despite common concerns that the social is competitive, cooperation (合作) among strangers has gradually increased in the U.S. since the 1950s, according to the research published by the American Psychological Association.
“We were surprised by our findings that Americans became m ore cooperative over the last six decades because many people believe U.S. society is becoming less socially connected and less tru
sting,” said lead researcher Yu Kou, PhD, a professor of social psychology at Beijing Normal University.
The researchers analyzed 511 studies conducted in the United States between 1956 and 2017 with a total of more than 63,000 participants(参与者). Those studies included lab experiments measuring cooperation among strangers. The study found a small, gradual increase in cooperation across the 61-year period, which the researchers said may
be linked to great changes in U.S. society. The increase in cooperation was related with increases in social wealth, income inequality and the number of people living alone.
Increased cooperation has been linked with market competitiveness and economic growth in former research. As more people live in cities and on their own, they may be forced to cooperate with strangers, said study co-author Paul Van Lange, PhD. He said, “U.S. society may have bec ome more self-centered, but people have not.”
The researchers note that former studies have found that levels of cooperation do not differ by sex or race in the U.S. However, the studies were conducted in lab settings primarily with only college students as participants, so the findings may not be representative (代表性的) of real-life situations or
of U.S. society as a whole.
1. How did the researchers draw the conclusion?
A．By doing street surveys.
B．By conducting lab experiments.
C．By analyzing collected examples.
D．By interviewing different strangers.
2. What can we learn about the study from paragraph 3?
A．The finding was predicted.
B．The data before 1956 could not be found.
C．The cause for the increase in cooperation was not clear at all.
D．Increase in cooperation was connected with many fields of society.
3. Where is text probably from?
A．A magazine.
B．A newspaper.
C．A diary.
D．A website.
4. What might the researchers do next?
A．Conducting more experiments in the real-life situations.
B．Finding the period when cooperation among strangers increased.
C．Making sure levels of cooperation may be different by sex or race in the U.S. D．Discovering the connection between increase in cooperation and changes in U.S. society.
4. For a period of more than 10 years, improvements were seen in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest. Deforestation rates(毁林率) dropped and stayed below 10,000 square kilometers a year. But that cha
nged in January 2019, when President Jair Bolsonaro took office.
Researchers and environmentalists have blamed(贵备) Bolsonaro for causing sharp increases in deforestation rates. Bolsonaro is set to leave office on January 1, 2023, after recently losing re-election to former President Silva.
“Part of the tree cutting and burning during the dry season happens in areas that are supposed to be protected. In recent years, deforestation has reached protected areas where previously there was almost no destruction,” said Jakeline Pereira, a researcher with the Amazon Institute. Pereira told th e AP, “In Paru’s region, rainforest was destroyed to enlarge land for crops and cows.” Bolsonaro has been blamed for weakening environmental agencies to support economic development.
Brazilian President-elect Silva recently promised cheering crowds at the U.N. climate meeting in Egypt to end all deforestation across the whole country by 2030. “The climate problems will be more serious if the Amazon isn’t protected,“ he said.
The Amazon rainforest covers an area twice the size of India. It acts as a buffer against climate change by taking in large amounts of CO2 . It is also the most biodiverse (多种生物的) forest in the world, and the home of tribes that have lived in the area for thousands of years.
1. How much might the forest lose in 2018?
A．9,400 square kilometers.
B．10,000 square kilometers.
C．11,000 square kilometers.
D．13,000 square kilometers.
2. Why was President Jair Bolsonaro blamed?
A．He ignored the development of the economy.
B．He lost the re-election to former President Silva.
C．He took actions to reduce the area of rainforest.
D．He focused more on economy at the cost of deforestation.
3. What does ”buffer“ underlined in paragraph 5 refer to?
A．Railway. B．Shelter. C．Computer. D．Person.
4. What is the main idea of the text?

B．Brazilian people hated deforestation.
C．Brazilian rainforest in danger needs protecting.
D．Silva was a better president than Jair Bolsonaro.
