26、   Fairies today are the material of, children's stories, little magical people with wings, often shining with light. Typically pretty and female, like Tinkerbell in Peter Pan, they usually use their magic to do small things and are mostly friendly to humans.

One explanation suggests the origin of fairies is a memory of real people. So, for example when tribes with metal weapons invaded land where people only used stone weapons some of the people escaped and hid in forests and caves. Further support for this idea is that fairies were thought to be afraid of iron and could not touch it. Living outside of society, the hiding people probably stole food and attacked villages. This might explain why fairies were often described as playing tricks on humans. Hundreds of years ago, people actually believed that fairies stole new babies and replaced them with a "changeling"-a fairy baby-or that they took new mothers and made them feed fairy babies with their milk.

While most people no longer believe in fairies, only a hundred years ago some people were very willing to think they might exist. In 1917, 16-year-old Elsie Wright took two photos of her cousin, nine-year-old Frances Griffiths, sitting with fairies. Some photography experts thought they were not real, while others weren't sure. But Arthur Conan Doyle, the writer of the Sherlock Holmes detective stories, believed they were real. He published the original pictures, and three more that the girls took for him, in a magazine called The Strand, in 1920. The girls only admitted the photos were not real years later in 1983, and that they created them using pictures of dancers that Elsie copied from a book.

【1】What does the underlined words "this idea" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.Fairies used stone tools. B.Fairies used metal weapons.

C.Fairies are based on real people. D.Fairies are friendly to humans.

【2】Why were fairies often described as playing tricks on humans?

A.Fairies were afraid of iron and could not touch it.

B.Fairies stole new babies and replaced them with a fairy baby.

C.People who were defeated would escape and hide in the forests.

D.The hiding people would probably steal food and attack villages.

【3】Who thought the photos taken in 1917 were real?

A.Arthur Conan Doyle. B.Elsie Wright.

C.Most photography experts. D.Elsie Wright's cousin.

【4】Which idea will the author most probably agree with?

A.Whether fairies exist or not is uncertain.

B.There are still many people believing in fairies.

C.Children should not believe in fairies any longer.

D.The attitude people hold towards fairies has changed.

27、Dreams, according to Carl Jung, reveal a certain amount of reality hidden during waking consciousness. In Jungian philosophy, the conflict and chaos experienced in dreams finally bring order to our lives. While Jung’s mystical theories are debatable, he was not mistaken about the importance of dreaming. A growing number of reports show that a continuous lack of dreaming is damaging our waking hours in many ways.

This trend is causing damage to our immune and metabolic (新陈代谢的) systems, let alone the electronic products that keep us up late at night are ruining our sleep patterns, which has long-term consequences on our memory system. One study showed that not allowing mice to have adequate amounts of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, the stage in which we dream, the mice couldn’t strengthen memories.

You might think this is just a sleep problem, but dreaming is inseparable from our nighttime rest. We sleep in cycles, each lasting about 90 minutes; in a sleep cycle, we go through non-REM sleep before hitting REM. As the night progresses, REM sleep periods increase in length while deep sleep (one of the stages of non-REM sleep) decreases. The longer we sleep, the more time we spend in REM, which is why we are often dreaming when waking up in the morning. If we sleep less than seven hours, however, it becomes harder to achieve this level of REM.

The combination of sleeping and dreaming acts as an emotional stabilizer. We recover from emotional hurt faster when we sleep and dream properly. However, we’re not getting enough sleep to cycle through the stages to take advantage of this natural circadian anti-depressant (抗抑郁剂) — dreams. Instead, we get depressed and turn to alcohol or medicines to get to sleep, which only makes things worse because even one drink leads to late REM while anti-depressants promote deep sleep at the expense of REM.

We’re paying for this lack of dreaming in many ways. For example, a 2021 study stated that compared with quiet rest and non-REM sleep, REM promoted the formation of associative networks and the integration (整合) of unassociated information. Volunteers that experienced more REM sleep were better equipped for solving problems requiring creative solutions.

Rowan Hooper, the managing editor at New Scientist, writes that dreams that include an “emotional core” appear to be a main function of REM sleep and that we should look at sleep patterns as seriously as we do diet and exercise habits.

【3】What conclusion can be inferred from paragraph 5?

A．REM sleep promotes creativity.

B．REM sleep helps fight depression.

C．The brain still receives new information during REM sleep.

D．The brain is paying the price for having more non-REM sleep.

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．The importance of sleep lies in dreams.

B．The absence of dreams is terrible for us.

C．Dreaming patterns are more important than we realize.

D．Dreaming has mystical power of strengthening memories.

28、Annual reports and lists by different platforms show that psychology (心理学), comics about history, and works of literature were the most popular book categories among Chinese readers in 2021, reflecting the major concerns and topics in society.

What is noticeable is that among the top 100 best-selling fiction works published in 2021, 63 were online literary works, Beijing OpenBook’s statistics show.

The most popular genres (体裁) of online literature in China include fantasy, romance, martial arts and science fiction. Among the 63 online literary works on the top 100 best-selling list of books published in 2021, most were targeted at women readers, and 22 titles from Tangjia Sanshao’s Douluo Dalu (《斗罗大陆》) (Soul Land) series were among the best-sellers.

Shen Yu, a former book editor based in Shanghai, says more people read online literature, which is usually entertaining but lacks in depth and artistic value, because during the pandemic people need to find comfort in entertaining texts.

Despite the fast growth of online literature, the leading seats on the best-selling list are still taken by classic books, with The Three-Body Problem (《三体》) trilogy books occupying the first three places. Yu Hua’s novel Wencheng (《文城》) (The Lost City) has sold more than 1 million copies in three months since it was published in March 2021, making 10th place on the top 100 best-selling list.

Among the 100 best-selling nonfiction works, in addition to British writer Robert De Board’s Counseling for Toads: A Psychological Adventure (《蛤蟆先生去看心理医生》) that topped the list, there were 19 other psychological or self-help books. Ten books about family education, and 10 books on economics and finance also entered the list.

“In 2020 and 2021, people felt more pressure due to the pandemic. That is why psychological books received more attention. Compared with books that instruct people on how to be successful, books that tell people how to adjust themselves psychologically were more popular, such as Danshari (《断舍离》) by Japanese writer Yamashita Hiteko,” says an analyst from Beijing OpenBook.

【1】What is a noticeable feature of the top 100 best-selling fiction works published in 2021?

A．Half of them were online literary works.

B．Women readers were more than men readers.

C．Online literary works accounted for more than half.

D．Douluo Dalu (Soul Land) was the most popular among readers.

【2】Why is online literature popular according to Shen Yu?

A．Because it is simply entertaining.

B．Because people find it encouraging.

C．Because it is in depth and has artistic value.

D．Because people can find comfort from it during the pandemic.

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A．Online literature took the leading seats on the best-selling list of books.

B．There were a total of 19 psychological or self-help books selected.

C．Counseling for Toads was the most popular among nonfiction works.

D．Books on economies and finance were more popular than psychological books.

29、   I can remember occasionally nodding off with my phone between my ear and shoulder after hours of conversation with a friend. I’d wake up with the dial tone screaming in my ear. What happened? What did I say? The next day, my friend would tell me a funny story about how I had trailed off（声音逐渐减弱）with some meaningless words and begun snoring（打鼾）into the phone. We had a good laugh, but there was no harm because at least there was no permanent record of it.

For today’s young people, nodding off during a verbal phone call may mean a text written in their sleep. Who even knew texting while sleeping was possible before? But it’s possible today. A newly-published study from Villanova University’s M. Louise Fitzpatrick College of Nursing surveyed 372 college students and found that a quarter of them had sleep texting-texting while in a sleep state at some point. Of that group, 72% had no memory of the event. Respondents most likely to text in the sleep were, unsurprisingly, those who regularly slept with the phone on bed with them.

The study indicated that those who reported sleep texting admitted that cellphone use ravaged their sleep, which meant they suffered poor sleep. The study also found that most college students do not get high quality sleep, and that most do not turn off the cellphone when they go to sleep.

Young adults, especially college students, sleep even less than other age groups, often having only 6 to 7 hours of sleep per night. The demands of heavy class loads and the busy social life of college, combined with little to no adult supervision, have already been an environment fit for sleep disruption. Because of today’s technology of smartphones laptops, and so on, a solid night’s uninterrupted sleep sounds like a faraway dream indeed.

Maybe it’s time for a change.

【1】Why did the author trail off with some meaningless words over the phone?

A.Because she wanted to horrify her friend.

B.Because she wanted to make up funny story.

C.Because she got tired and fell asleep gradually.

D.Because she was tired of talking with her friend.

【2】What does the author want to show by mentioning the study about college students?

A.Texting while sleeping is actually common.

B.Today’s young people can’t live without the phone.

C.College students often forget what they’ve done.

D.College students have a bad habit of texting before going to sleep.

【3】What does the underlined word “ravaged” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.Protected. B.Damaged. C.Improved. D.Controlled

【4】Which of the following statements would the author most probably agree with?

A.College students should stop using their smartphones.

B.College students’ class loads should be reduced.

C.Having a solid night’s uninterrupted sleep is impossible today.

D.College students should avoid using the phone before bedtime.
