Do you know the MBTI personality (性格) test Everyone’s result has four letters. “I” and “E” are the first letters. People are either “T”, meaning introverted (内向的), or “E”, for extroverted (外向的).
The MBTI personality test made by Katharine and her daughter is very popular these days. Many companies use it when looking for employees (员工). Some young people look for others with the same or similar personality types to do something together in Xiaohongshu. A university in Beijing collected the MBTI results of their new students to better match roommates this August.
However, the test is not really believable. The test was from the ideas of a Swiss psychologist (心理学家) Carl Jung. Even he warned that people must be careful about the results of the test because his personality “types” were not really true. Besides, Katharine and her daughter were not psychologists, said one website. The key problem is that test is too “black and white”. For example, someone is either extroverted or introverted. But many people would surely sit somewhere in the middle of these two.
Even though the MBTI test has weakness (不足), tests and tools that help people better understand who they are and how they think are very powerful and can still help in some areas of life. As science and technology develop, we can look forward to more believable tests.

A.looking for employees
B.looking for partners to do something like going to a concert
C.recruiting (招收) students
D.matching roommates
32.The structure of the passage is ________.
A. B.
C. D.
33.The underlined word “warned” means ________.
A.said something to others over and over again
B.made a prediction
C.advised others in a strong way
D.told a lie
34.We can know from the passage the writer seems to ________ tests like MBTI
A.agree with B.disagree with
C.care little about D.have hope for
35.We can infer (推断) from the passage that ________.
A.there are 16 types of personalities in the MBTI personality test
B.two psychologists made the MBTI test
C.the writer thinks someone is either extroverted or introverted
D.personality tests have nothing good for us to know about others

Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don't know is that junk(垃圾)has become a problem in outer space too.
According to BBC News, there are more than 22, 000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes (望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see.
Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle.
To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.
To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.
Many scientists also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth's atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.
The problem is becoming more challenging because we're sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers,” says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space
Researcher.
“The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become,” he says.
36.What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.Telescopes. B.Satellites.
C.Pieces of space junk. D.BBC news reports.
37.Why is space junk considered a problem
A.It burns up after it re-enters the atmosphere
B.It often stops the view of telescopes on Earth
C.It could force new space tools to travel at slower speeds
D.It may crash into other space tools causing damage or death
38.Countries want future space tools to be able to fall back into the earth's atmosphere so that .
A.the tools can be reused later
B.the tools don't become space junk
C.the earth’s atmosphere can stay clean
D.the effects of space flight can be studied
39.How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk
A.Catch it with nets.
B.Use robots to collect it.
C.Burn it in the earth's atmosphere.
D.Send it further away from the earth.
40.In which section of the newspaper would you probably read this article
A.Environment . B.Local News.
C.Education. D.Fashion.

Jessica is not alone. A new report says half of us get headaches. Researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology looked at 357 different studies on headaches from 1961 to 2020.

They included information on common headaches, migraines (偏头痛), and headaches from tension (紧张). The researchers said that 52 percent of the people in the study get headaches every year. The lead researcher, Lars Jacob Stovner, was surprised that the numbers were so big and that so many people got headaches.
The researchers found that women are more likely to get headaches than men. They said 17 percent of women get migraines, compared to 9 percent of men. Six percent of women get headaches 15 or more days a month, while the number is 3 percent for men.
Mr. Stovner said, “What is clear is that headaches are very prevalent worldwide. The number of people who are getting headaches is increasing.” Stovner added, “More research is needed. It is important to study the different reasons for headaches so that we can improve treatment (治疗).”
41.How does the writer lead in the topic (引入主题)

C.By giving examples. D.By explaining reasons.
