21、Roughly half of college students will have some degree of depression at some point during their time in school. Even more startling, 6.2 percent of college students surveyed in 2012 considered suicide and 1.3 percent attempted it, according to an American College Health Association study released this spring. If you’re feeling depressed on campus, you may find the following tips helpful.

Exercise: Physical activity releases endorphins – chemicals that produce an overall positive feeling within the body, which fight depression naturally. Mental health experts claim that exercise is a solution to those feeling mild or moderate depression. However, for those severely depressed, simply doing sports is not enough.

Use school counseling services: Campuses don’t employ mental health experts simply to throw thousands of dollars down the drain. Their job is to help students, so experts recommend you use them. Most students, however, are hesitant to take a trip to their college’s counseling center, fearing being laughed at by peers. As a result, some schools like Texas Christian University, are testing students for mental health problems when they get sick and visit the campus health clinic.

Take advantage of technology: Staying in touch with family members and friends from childhood and high school has become easier than ever with the coming of Facebook and video chat services like Skype. While mental health experts insist that it’s important to make friends in your new environment and be involved in the college community, it’s also significant to keep in touch with the people you knew before college.

Go to sleep: Following a fairly regular sleep pattern can defend you against depression. In college, many students’ sleep patterns are irregular thanks to late-night studying and partying, which is harmful to their mental health. Research strongly suggests that sleep is the key to learning and memory formation.

【1】According to the passage, physical activity __________ .

A. is regarded as the best way to fight depression

B. contributes to the release of endorphins

C. can’t help the seriously depressed students

D. improve people’s ability to learn and memorize

【2】It can be inferred from the 3rd paragraph that __________ .

A. employing mental health experts on campus is a waste of money

B. students with mental health problems can’t get on well with others

C. going to college’s counseling center for help requires a lot of courage

D. sick students in Texas Christian University must take psychological tests

【3】Taking advantage of technology is encouraged because it ____

A.enables students to get involved in college life

B.helps students stay in contact with others

C.offers students a way to make new friends

D.provides a way to avoid getting bored

【4】which of the following can NOT help one reduce depression?

A.Taking exercise regularly every week

B.Chatting with old friends with Skype

C.Turning to mental health experts for advice

D.Holding parties deep into the night to relax

22、I became a magician by accident. When I was nine years old, I learned how to make a coin disappear. I’d read The Lord of the Rings and gone into the adult section of the library to be buried in fantasy literature. I was young enough to still hold out hope that I might find a book of real, actual magic in the library. The book I found instead taught basic techniques, and I tried to practice.

At first the magic wasn’t any good. It was just a trick—a bad trick. I spent hours each day running through the secret moves in front of the mirror. I dropped the coin over and over, a thousand times in a day. After two weeks my mom got a carpet and placed it under the mirror to muffle the sound of the coin falling again and again.

One day I made the coin disappear on the playground. We had been playing football and were standing in the field behind the school. A dozen people were watching. I showed the coin to everyone. Then it disappeared. The kids screamed. Everyone went crazy.

A few years later, I staged an underwater escape in the river that flowed through the middle of the campus of the University of Iowa, where I went to school. I stood on a boat in the middle of the river wearing nothing but biking shorts. The sky was dead and gray, and the water was cold at the surface, and colder in the depths below.

Technically, I succeeded. I jumped into the water, sank to the bottom, and escaped from the locks and the chains before swimming to the surface. But it didn’t feel like a success.

【1】What do we know about the author?

A．He became a magician in one day.

B．He found wonderful techniques in the library.

C．He never stopped practicing in order to become a magician.

D．He looked through every section of the library to search for a useful book.

【2】What does the underlined word “muffle” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．To urge the author to lower his voice.

B．To make the sounds less noisy.

C．To prevent the coin from falling.

D．To decrease the number of the coin.

【3】How did the author make the kids scream?

A．By making the coin disappear.

B．By playing football with them.

C．By practicing his techniques more frequently.

D．By providing hands-on practice.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．What Can Give You a Magic Life.

B．A Nineteen-year-old Magician.

C．The Magic Trick that Influenced My Life.

D．A Brief Introduction to a Magician’s Life.

23、   When I was a teenager, I knew nothing about mental health. If you'd have talked about “safe spaces”, I'd have thought that you meant a bank. And, what's more, I didn't care about mental health. Why would I? Like my Dad always used to say, “If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

But, unfortunately my mental health did "break". Aged 17 I developed anorexia(厌食症).I didn't realize at the time; it was something that developed, rather than “began”. It took me a good few years to realize I had a problem, but I never felt to get help because 1 never felt ill enough.  When I was 23., I was diagnosed as severely clinically anorexic. I had fast-tracked treatment at The Maudsley Hospital in South London and went through 2.5 years of therapy.

People are always interested to know what helped me recover and among many things, it was simple: comedy. I'm a professional stand-up comic. Comedy for me, began as a hobby and has progressed into a job.

The word "comedy" is believed to derive from the Ancient Greek kōmos meaning “to reveal". It is comedy's job to “reveal” things, to analyze, explain and understand. I’d never been able to explain what was going on inside my head; trying to explain what's going on in your mind is like trying to explain a color to someone who's blind. So, comedy became a way of understanding and explaining things.

Dr. Dicter Declercq, lecturer at The University of Kent, believes that humor can shift our perspective on a difficult situation. In his new book, he notes that stand-up comedy is enjoyed with others, and it is crucial for good mental health and recovery.

Stand-up comedy was essential to my recovery. I know I'm not alone in that. So. I want to show other people that your mental health doesn't have to be “broke” before you can “fix it”.

【1】What did the author think of mental health in his teens?

A．He took it seriously.

B．He had no idea about it.

C．He learnt it from a bank.

D．He fixed it with his dad.

【2】What can we learn about the author's anorexia?

A．He suffered severely.

B．He fell ill suddenly.

C．He recovered quickly.

D．He had trouble getting help.

【3】What does stand-up comedy mean to the author?

A．A painful job.

B．An interesting hobby.

C．A therapy for anorexia.

D．A way of expressing himself.

【4】What's Dr. Dieter Declercq's attitude to comedy?

A．Objective.

B．Opposed

C．Favorable

D．Unconcerned

24、   A deadly virus is spreading from state to state and has infected 26 million Americans so far, killing at least 14,000 people this season alone. It’s not a new pandemic (传染病) – it’s influenza.

The 2019-2020 flu season, which began September 29, is projected to be one of the worst in a decade, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. At least 250,000 people have been hospitalized with symptoms from the flu, and that number is predicted to climb as flu activity spreads quickly.

Dr. Nathan Chomilo, an assistant professor at University of Minnesota Medical School, said that the commonness of the flu often underplays its severity, but people should take it seriously.

The flu becomes dangerous when secondary infections emerge, the result of an already weakened immune system. Bacterial and viral infections worsen the flu’s symptoms. People with chronic illnesses are also at a heightened risk for flu complications.

Those complications include pneumonia(肺炎), inflammation in the heart and brain and organ failure – which, in some cases, can be deadly.

Influenza is tricky because the virus changes every year. Sometimes, the dominant strain in a flu season will be more virulent than in previous years, which can impact the number of people infected and the severity of their symptoms.

Most of these changes in the virus are small and insignificant, a process called antigenic drift. That year’s flu vaccine is mostly effective in protecting patients in spite of these small changes.

Occasionally, the flu undergoes a rare antigenic shift, which results when a completely new strain of virus emerges that human bodies haven’t experienced before.

This flu season, there’s no sign of antigenic shift, the most extreme change. But it’s happened before, most recently in 2009 with the H1N1 virus. It became a pandemic because people had no immunity against it, the CDC reported.

【1】What do the numbers indicate in the first two paragraphs?

A.The flu is rather serious. B.The flu is quite common.

C.The flu is easy to control. D.The flu season lasts long.

【2】When does the flu become dangerous?

A.There appear new symptoms of flu owing to antigenic shift.

B.The number of patients becomes large with the virus spreading.

C.Relative infections turn up because of the weaker immune system.

D.The virus changes its form with no immunity against it.

【3】The underlined word “virulent” in paragraph 6 means ___________.

A.changeable B.deadly C.peaceful D.different

【4】Why is the H1N1 virus in 2009 referred to in the last paragraph?

A.To warn people that the antigenic shift is impossible.

B.To inform people that the virus can be cured.

C.To show people that the vaccine is effective.

D.To remind people that the virus can be changed.
