24、 ①Colors are often used to describe feelings. For example, if you “feel blue”, it means that you're sad. A person who "sees red" is angry, and someone who's “tickled pink” is happy about something. Besides expressing feelings, though, colors may also influence our actions.
②In Japan, officials have put in blue lights around railroad platforms to discourage people from jumping in front of trains. As a result, certain stations with the blue lights have seen an 84 percent drop in suicide(自杀) numbers. Pink has been believed to prevent crimes. In the United States, rooms in prison(监狱) were painted this color to calm prisoners. In sports, some visiting teams have had to use all-pink locker rooms, which were meant to weaken the team and make them lose.
③Unlike pink, red may let you gain an upper hand in sports. Sportsmen who wore red were found to have a slightly higher chance of winning. Red is also believed to be the color of energy and power.
④The ways in which colors affect us may be a result of nature and evolution(进化). Red is the color of fire and blood. So it is connected to life, danger. Yellow describes sunny days and can make us feel energetic and happy, while blue relaxes us with images of the sea and the sky.
⑤Other factors relating our reactions to colors are culture and history. In the past, the process to produce purple is difficult, and only kings and nobles could afford things in purple. As a result, the color became a royal symbol.
⑥As you can see, colors shape how we understand the world. They are seen in all parts of life and they can influence us in ways that we may not notice.
【1】How do we describe somebody who is feeling happy?
A.She feels blue. B.She sees red.
C.She is tickled pink. D.She becomes yellow.
【2】According to the article, what is one way to weaken an opposing (对方)team in sports?
A.Appearing in blue sportswear. B.Painting their locker rooms pink.
C.Showing them the color yellow. D.Using purple as your team's symbol.
【3】According to the article, which of the following is NOT true about colors?
A.People's actions to colors are decided by nature rather than culture.
B.Purple became a symbol of royalty because it was hard for the public to get.
C.Both blue and pink can make people feel less angry, worried, and excited.
D.Red is connected to danger because of nature and evolution.
【4】Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
A.A B.B C.C D.D
25、 We often find that weekends and holidays feel so short while classes and work feel so long. Actually, though, we know that this is not true. But we still wonder where that strange feeling comes from. In fact, this is one of the ways that we’re tricked by time, according to the website All That Is Interesting. The website lists several wrong impressions we often have about time. Let's have a look. First of all, emotions affect our time-keeping abilities: Negative emotions, especially anxiety and boredom, make time seem longer because they make us concentrate more on the passage of time. However, when we are enjoying ourselves, we pay more attention to what we are doing and are likely to lose track of (失去对...的意识) time.
Here is another example. In 2007, a group of scientists carried out a test. In the test, people fell 50 meters into a safety net and were then asked about their experience. Although the experience took shorter than 3 seconds, the people thought it was much longer than it actually was.
This is because of the way our bodies reply to danger, according to the scientists. Our bodies produce a chemical called adrenaline (肾上腺素) when we are faced with danger. It allows us to concentrate better so that we can stay alive. As a result, we are able to remember far more details (细节) over a short period of time, which makes it seem like time is going more slowly.
Another situation when we make mistakes about time is when we take afternoon naps(午觉). Have you ever had trouble telling what time it is after a long nap? That's because the best amount of time for a nap is 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, you enter a new stage of sleep called slow-wave sleep. If you wake up mid-way in this stage, it will take a while before you can correctly perceive(感知)time again. Yes, time can be mysterious and there is no way to control it. So, perhaps the best thing to do is to make good use of every minute.
【1】According to the passage, what possibly makes people feel so long?
A.weekends and holidays B.weekends and work. C.classes and work D.holidays and work
【2】Which will not affect our time-keeping abilities according to the website listing?
A.negative emotions B.positive emotions C.adrenaline D.scientists
【3】According to the passage, in which situation don’t we make mistakes about time?
A.We wake up after a long nap.
B.We fall down from a high place.
C.We have many problems left in the test paper, but the time is up.
D.We go to school on the school bus as usual on weekdays.
【4】According to the passage, what will NOT happen when we are faced with danger?
A.Our bodies will produce a chemical called adrenaline.
B.We are able to feel that time seems to go more slowly.
C.Adrenaline will make us concentrate better to stay alive.
D.We will forget far more details over a short period of time.
【5】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Negative emotions make time seem longer.
B.We feel like time is going more slowly while having fun.
C.Time can be mysterious and there is no way to control it.
D.If we wake up mid-way after a long nap, maybe we can't correctly perceive time again soon.
26、(One day, Gulliver was caught in a storm and his ship hit a rock, then broken. He was washed to the beach by the sea wave and soon fell asleep. When he woke up, he found himself in Lilliput and a lot of people were around him and all of the people he saw were just the same size as mice.)
The emperor spoke in such a high voice. His followers and all the ladies wore rich and beautiful clothes. The ground where they were standing looked like gold and silver cloth.
The emperor and I communicated with each other but neither of us understood a single word. I tried words from my languages—French, Spanish, Italian and Latin. No one could understand my words, even the emperor’s cleverest followers.
After about two hours of useless communication, the emperor, his wife and their servants decided to leave, and only six strong guards (卫兵) were left around me. This was to stop me from running away and later, they would think up ways to kill me.
These six guards were trying to give me some punishment. To scare them, I put five of them in my pocket. Then I pretended (假装) to eat the sixth man. The poor man shouted terribly when he saw my knife in my hand. But I only cut the binding (捆绑物) around his hands. Then I put him on my feet and let him go. I lifted the other five men out of my pocket and put them gently on the ground, too.
The people and soldiers were very surprised at what I did. They told the emperor about it quickly. After hearing this, the emperor ordered his men to make a bed for me to have a rest and they had to put six hundred of theirs together to make one for me. It seemed that they changed their idea of killing me.

27、 One of the most often asked and most controversially (有争议的) answered question is “What should I do when I meet a blind person?” A quick Google search will turn up plenty of answers, which are quite different from each other. So, obviously, there is no general agreement on what to do when you meet a blind person.
There are no special rules or dos and don’ts that can deal with this situation. There is only one principle (原则): Blind people are nothing more or less than people who happen to be blind. As such, it is our own job to take care of ourselves, and we are grateful to no one else for special care or leadership.
The best thing to do is nothing. Don’t suppose you know what we need. If we do need something, we’ll politely let you know.
Forget everything you’ve heard about the blind even if you consider yourself to be an expert. Blind people have plenty to say about “experts”. Especially, forget anything you’ve heard or read about “Ten Things to Do if You Meet a Blind Person”. The advice will probably just cause more embarrassment (尴尬). More of it is made up by sighted people anyway and doesn’t necessarily stand for the blind’s view.
There is completely no way to second-guess the situation by imposing (强加) any preformed ideas. Even if you’ve known other blind people, don’t think you know what to do with every one of them. The thing that often makes us angry is to hear “It’s OK. My mother (sister, cousin, friend) is blind.”
Blind people are as different from each other as any two people on this earth. There are no similarities among us that you can depend on. Even the degree of vision, hearing or touch that we use can be very different. Most blind people do have the same degree of vision, and even the very few of us who are totally blind may use our touch and hearing very effectively.
【1】It can be inferred from the passage that the writer ________.
A.is a blind person
B.hears more clearly than others
C.never asks others for help
D.thinks blind people need special care
【2】According to the passage, which of the following opinions may the writer disagree with?
A.Most blind people can take care of themselves.
B.Blind people aren’t equal to sighted people.
C.Blind people generally dislike those thinking they understand the blind a lot.
D.Each person, blind or sighted, is different from anyone else.
【3】Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A.Never Help the Blind
B.Try to Help the Blind
C.Not Every Help Is Good for the Blind
D.Learn More about the Blind

There was a time when you wouldn’t see a woman doctor anywhere. That was before Elizabeth Blackwell 【1】 (收到) her degree from Geneva Medical College on January 23rd, 1849. During that special time, she became the first woman doctor in the United States.
Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821. Her family moved to America when she was11 years old. However, her father died soon because of tiredness.
