21、   A new study shows that air pollution can cause a huge reduction in our intelligence. The study was a project involving researchers at Peking University in China and Yale University in the United States.

The researchers reported that long-term exposure to air pollution can affect a person's mental abilities in two areas: Language and math.

The researchers studied about 25,000 people from across China. Between 2010 and 2014, these Chinese men, women and children were given language and math tests. Then researchers compared the test results with measurements of pollution in the air, namely nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide （二氧化硫）.

Xi Chen of the Yale School of Public Health led the study. He and his team found that breathing polluted air can reduce a person's education level by about one year.

Chen said that the effect generally is worse for those over 64 years of age, for men and for those with little or no education.

“The older persons—they are more affected. And we find, quite amazingly, males are more affected than females. And people working outdoors are more affected than people working indoors.

He noted that the youngest people in the study were 10 years old, while the oldest was 90 years old. They came from China's 33 provinces. In his words, the data and facts are convincing and this range of ages and locations across the country provided a real, objective and representative sample.

The researchers noted that the effect of air pollution on verbal ability is even more serious as people age, especially among men and the less educated. The researchers also stressed that every country, whether developed, developing or poor, should focus on air pollution or humans will face a bad situation.

【1】What is the result of the study?

A.Air pollution has a bad effect on people's intelligence.

B.Females are more affected by air pollution than males.

C.Americans are more affected by air pollution than Chinese.

D.People working indoors are actually not affected by air pollution.

【2】What did Chen say about the study?

B.It is extremely unfair.

C.It is common and not representative.

D.It is relatively objective and persuasive.

【3】What did the researchers emphasize in the last paragraph?

A.The data from the 33 provinces is convincing.

B.The whole world should pay attention to air pollution.

C.The less educated take more responsibility for air pollution.

D.Air pollution's influence on verbal ability is less serious as people age.

22、   Rock music is one of the most popular types of music today, which originated and evolved in the United States during the late 1940s and early 1950s from musical styles such as gospel, blues, jazz, along with country music. Rock was beginning to show up on gospel albums and in soul music as far back as the 1930s, but it never really stood out to gain a large following. It would take a few special people to make that happen.

Several musicians have promoted the development of the rock movement, but probably the biggest star to help begin the rock revolution was Elvis Presley. His music, looks, and dancing helped rock spread rapidly and finally became America's favorite style of music.

The early rock pioneers favored pianos and saxophones, similar to blues music. They soon started changing their ways and the guitar became a rock music staple. Rock bands in the 60s and 70s focused so heavily on the guitar that guitar solos were written into nearly every rock song. It is no exaggeration to say that rock would just not be the same without some guitar greats like Led Zeppelin.

Rock songs often described events and conflicts that most listeners could relate to through personal experience. Therefore, rock music drew a younger, more rebellious crowd. It became a way for teenagers to express themselves and they felt like they were being heard. For those not into it, rock music can be noisy, but for its fans, “the louder, the better” has been the rock and roll decree for several decades.

The popularity of rock music resulted in a powerful impact on society. It influenced daily life, fashion, attitudes and language in a way few other social developments have equaled. It also has contributed to the civil rights movement. Rock music appeared at a time when racial tensions in the United States were entering a new stage.

【1】What can we infer about rock in the early times?

A．It heavily depended on the guitar and saxophones.

B．It developed on the basis of several musical styles.

C．It became popular among people of all ages in the US.

D．It soon started a music revolution led by Elvis Presley.

【2】According to the passage, why did rock music become so popular?

A．It used some special musical instruments.

B．It represented mainstream American culture.

C．It helped teenagers express their anger and confusion.

D．It provided a way for people to make their voice heard.

【3】Which of the following best explains the underlined word "decree" in Paragraph 4?

A．Rule.

B．Problem.

C．Award.

D．Disadvantage.

【4】What will the author most probably talk about next?

A．Some great rock stars and bands in history.

B．Rock music's influence in some other areas.

C．How rock music contributed to civil rights movement.

D．Why rock music had so much social influence in America.

23、   You may want to bring honey the next time you have a cold, a study says. That's because honey has been shown to provide better cough relief than some over-the-counter drugs, Oxford University researchers said in findings published in BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine.

“Honey is more effective than usual care choices for improving upper respiratory tract infection symptoms, particularly reducing cough frequency and cough severity,” the scientists said in the findings.

Researchers said they reviewed 14 past studies about upper respiratory tract infections, also known as common colds. Symptoms can include runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat and coughing, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC).

Four of the studies examined comparisons between honey and diphenhydramine, an antihistamine that can be used to relieve coughs, according to the U. S. government. It's sold at U. S. drugstores under several brand names and is combined with other ingredientsin some cold medicines.

In their findings, Oxford scientists said honey was “significantly better than” diphenhydramine at improving cough symptoms. The results came from studies that included 385 participants, data show. But honey was “not significantly better” at cough relief when compared to another class of medicines, called dextromethorphan, according to a review of two studies with a combined 137 patients. Dextromethorphan is used to suppress coughs.

Anyone sick with a cold should talk to a druggist or doctor about the best medicines for them, according to health officials. “Over-the-counter medicines may provide temporary relief of symptoms, but they will no cure your illness,” the CDC said on its website.

The CDC includes honey on its list of possible ways to suppress coughs. Other tips for feeling better from a cold include getting enough rest, breathing in steam and using saline spray, according to the CDC.

【1】What's the author's purpose in writing this text?

A．To prove honey's effectiveness in relieving cough.

B．To inform the readers how to better prevent colds.

C．To make a comparison between honey and medicines.

D．To give a description of symptoms of common colds.

【2】What does the underlined word “diphenhydramine” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．A cold symptom.

B．A sort of sweet food.

C．A kind of cold medicine.

D．A brand name of medicine.

【3】What can we infer from CDC's advice?

A．Honey is a safer choice for relief of cold symptoms.

B．Breathing in steam is a better way to suppress coughs.

C．Honey doesn't work for all the patients with a cold.

D．Over-the-counter medicines are a waste of money.

【4】Where is this text most likely from?

A．A history book.

B．An academic magazine.

C．A medicine textbook.

D．A science fiction.

24、There is one holiday in the year which is completely American, Thanksgiving Day. It is the day when everyone goes back home to spend the day with his family, to have the traditional Thanksgiving dinner of roast turkey, to talk about old times.

This is a story of Thanksgiving Day and of one man's efforts, under rather special circumstances, to carry on these traditions.

Old Pete took his seat this day on his usual bench in Union Square. Every Thanksgiving Day for nine years, Pete had taken this same seat exactly at one o'clock, and each time the same pleasant thing had happened. But this time Pete had come here more from habit than from hunger.

Certainly today Pete was not hungry. He had just had a dinner so enormous that he could hardly breathe. The buttons on his ragged shirt and coat were about to burst. He was so full of soup, oysters, roast turkey, apple pie, ice cream, and a dozen other rich foods that the November breeze and the first light fall of snow felt cool and pleasant to his face.

The meal had been completely unexpected. He had been passing one of the large homes on Fifth Avenue, where there lived two rich old ladies. It seems that it was their custom each Thanksgiving to place a servant at the front entrance with orders to bring in the first hungry looking person that passed and then give him a Thanksgiving dinner of everything he could eat. On this particular Thanksgiving Day, Pete had passed, the servant had brought him in, and, before Pete knew it, he was being served like a king with more food than he could eat.

Pete sat on the bench now, hardly able to move. He happened to look to the left and there in the distance he saw the Old Gentleman coming toward him. He wanted to get up and run, but he was so full of food that he stayed right there. Every Thanksgiving Day for nine years, the Old Gentleman had come here, and found Pete on this same bench, and then taken him to a restaurant and bought him a Thanksgiving dinner. It was a kind of tradition which the Old Gentleman, who had no family and lived alone, had tried to continue. The old man was tall and thin and sixty years old. He was aristocratic looking and he always dressed in black. His hair was whiter and thinner than it had been the year before, and he leaned more heavily on his cane than he used to.

"How do you do!" said the Old Gentleman. "I am glad to see that the changes of another year have permitted you to move in health through this beautiful world."

Each time the Old Gentleman had said exactly this same thing. It was part of the tradition. Old Pete, too, began to feel as though he himself was now a part of the tradition, and he therefore did not have the courage to tell the old man that he had already eaten. This dinner seemed to mean so much to the Old Gentleman.

"Thank you, sir," said Old Pete at last. "I'll go with you gladly. I'm very hungry sir."

Together the Old Gentleman and Pete walked south to the same restaurant where each year Pete had his Thanksgiving dinner. They sat at the same table. The Old Gentleman seemed pleased and happy. When the waiter brought dish after dish of food to Pete, the Old Gentleman sat quietly and smiled. Under the circumstance, Pete had to eat. It was part of the tradition, and so he ate like a hero. Soup, oysters, roast turkey, pie, he ate everything, although when he entered the restaurant even the smell of more food almost made him sick. At last Pete leaned back with the battle won.

"Thank you sir," he said, with some effort, " for a fine dinner."

They parted as they did each year at the door, the Old Gentleman going south, Pete north.

Around the corner, Pete stopped for a moment, felt a terrible pain in his stomach, then fell to the sidewalk unconscious. A little later an ambulance came. In the hospital they discovered that he had had an attack of indigestion.

An hour later, another ambulance brought the Old Gentleman to the same hospital. At first they thought it was also indigestion but later one of the nurses said,

"That nice old gentleman over there-- you wouldn't think that it was a case of starvation. Proud old family, I suppose. He told me that he hadn't eaten a thing for three days.”

【1】This year Old Pete came to the Union Square because ______.

A. he was hungry and expected to find some food

B. he had nowhere to go on the Thanksgiving Day

C. he wanted to meet the Old Gentleman and check his health

D. it was a convention for him to accept the Old Gentleman’s dinner

A. Because he felt he had more room for food.

B. Because he realized he was involved in the tradition.

C. Because he felt moved by the Old Gentlemen’s generosity.

D. Because he didn’t dare to tell the old man he had already eaten.

【3】According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A. Only the Old Gentlemen observed Thanksgiving Day traditions.

B. The two gentlemen were both hospitalized because of hunger.

C. The Thanksgiving dinner offered by the Old Gentleman is more than dinner itself.

D. The food in the restaurant tastes better than that in large homes on Fifth Avenue.

【4】What can we learn from the two Thanksgiving Day Gentlemen?

A. One man’s meat is another man’s poison.

B. They are really gentlemen true to their word.

C. They are too vain to express their true feelings.

D. The conduct of the two gentlemen is really absurd.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

It was raining pretty hard on Halloween, but that wasn't going to stop my little sister Kate and me from trick-or-treating. We decided to start at Miss Parson's house. Miss Parson was loved by us kids who lived near by because she often shared her self-made cookies with us. We usually finished them in a second, especially when we were hungry after class. Sometimes, when we visited her or did something for her, she always gave us Surprise.

Kate and I wondered what kinds of treats she'd offer. As we walked down the street, I held an umbrella, a bag for Candy, and my sister's hand. Jack-o-Lanterns gave soft light along the street. Spider webs hung in all the windows. Parents who were dressed up like monsters(怪物) stood in doorways. After we had walked a few blocks, we were wet from head to toes, and I felt Kate was trembling with cold.

There was a light on at Miss Parson's house, but there were no ghosts, goblins(小妖精), or Jack-o-Lanterns. We climbed up the steps and saw Miss Parson through a window. She was drinking a cup of hot tea.

“Maybe she doesn't celebrate Halloween,” Kate said with a sigh, disappointedly.

“Well, even if she doesn't, she usually likes it when we visit her," I said and knocked on the door.

Miss Parson seemed surprised when she opened it and saw our dressing. "Is today Halloween?" she asked.”I completely forgot. I am so sorry!”
