27、   About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!

There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green － a strange world indeed.

Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.

Some insects（昆虫） have favorite colors. Mosquitoes（蚊子） prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract（吸引） insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the help of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the help of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible（不可见）colors around us.

【1】The passage is mainly about _____________.

A.color and its surprising effects.

B.women being luckier than men

C.danger caused by color blindness

She had overslept(睡过头) by a half hour! Mandy jumped up and quickly washed her face, brushed her teeth, combed her hair, and threw on some clothes. She was supposed to be in school by now. When her mother had left early for work, she reminded Mandy to get up on time and get herself to school. Obviously, that had not worked out.

There was no time for breakfast. Mandy hurriedly poured a glass of orange juice and spilled (酒) some of it on her blouse(衬衣).

29、   The world is witnessing the worst refugee crisis(难民危机) since World War II. Tens of thousands of people are fleeing civil war and unrest(动荡) to find new homes in Europe — sometimes with sad consequences(后果).

On Aug 27, Austrian officials found the dead bodies of 71 Syrian migrants(移民) in a deserted truck near Austrian-Hungarian border, just as European leaders were holding a meeting in Vienna to figure out how to deal with the refugee crisis. On the same day, 200 migrants were feared dead and 200 rescued as two boats packed with refugees sank off the coast of Libya, according to media reports.

The terms “migrant” and “refugee” are often used interchangeably. But there’s a big difference between them, says an article in the Atlantic magazine. Here is how the United Nations defines refugees:

“Refugees are persons fleeing armed conflict(武装冲突) or ill-treatment. Their situation is often so dangerous and intolerable that they cross national borders to search for safety in nearby countries. …These are people for whom denial(拒绝) of protection has possibly deadly consequences.”

Migrants, on the other hand, move mainly to improve their lives by finding work, or for education, family reunion or other reasons, said the agency.

Countries should offer refugees certain protections under their international treaty obligations(条约义务). This is why some states hesitate to admit those people who are fleeing unrest in their home countries.

When talking about refugee and immigration problems, many media outlets use “illegal immigrant”(非法移民). Critics say that it gives the impression that it’s the person that is illegal rather than their actions. The UN and the EU parliament have called for an end to the phrase, the BBC reported.

A.how serious the refugee crisis in Austria is

B.that it is the worst refugee crisis in the world

C.what sad consequences some refugees face

D.that the number of refugees is so large

【2】The differences between “refugee” and “migrant” are written with the purpose of _____.

A.defining the two words clearly

B.indicating why some states are not willing to admit refugees

C.showing that refugees are more than migrants

D.urging European countries to accept more refugees

【3】According to the text, “refugee” differs from “migrant” in that _____.

① they both cross national borders but with different purposes

② refugees are illegal while migrants are legal

③ refugees may face deadly consequences while migrants are relatively safe

④ refugees are treated badly while migrants are highly respected

A.①④ B.①③ C.②③④ D.①③④

【4】According to the text, what may be discussed in the next several paragraphs?

A.Explanations for “illegal immigrant”

B.Examples about the refugee crisis in Europe

C.Measures to offer refugee protections

D.Causes of the refugee crisis in Europe
