26、   “Sam’s Journey” is the main attraction of an exhibition to be staged at Bugis+ shopping mall. The show, organized by five Singaporean college students, will start the yearly Anti-Drug Abuse Campaign of this year. Besides the main attraction, there are many kinds of anti-drug games for people to play.

“Sam’s Journey” takes visitors through a maze of activities and information that lets them experience how “Sam’s” life was destroyed by drug abuse.

The maze starts with how“Sam”first started using drugs and became heavily dependent on them. In the middle of the maze, visitors get to wear a specially-designed pair of glasses trying to copy what it is like to be under the influence of drugs. Then visitors go through a dark room with lights flashing that give them an experience similar to the side effects of using drugs.

“Sam’s”life goes further downhill once police officers catch him. Visitors get to experience what it is like in prison as one of the maze checkpoints is a prison cell (a small room built for prisoners).

“We did not want to feed information through experts. We wanted people to walk through this maze to learn about drug abuse and its bad influences,”said Mr Jenson Seah, one of the five Singaporean students.

As the student organizers hope visitors will learn valuable lessons from the show, they too realize that putting the event together was an enriching experience.

“By working with officers from the National Council Against Drug Abuse, I learned a lot about drug abuse and it stretched beyond my degree course learning experience,”said Mr Seah. 

The show, which will be given from June 21-22, is just the first of a series of events for the yearly Anti-Drug Abuse Campaign. The two-month-long campaign will include an online photography competition and an Anti-Drug School Corner Competition.

【1】The students organized the show to _____.

C．It receives no official support.

D．It includes a series of events.

【3】Jenson Seah believed that _____.

A．organizing the show let him know more about drugs

B．it was better to let experts explain the harmful effects of drugs

C．the students’ teamwork was the key to the show’s success

D．the courses offered at the show would help visitors a lot

【4】The author writes this text mainly to _____.

27、   Breathing dirty air can cost someone's life span(寿命) months—even years, a new study finds.Worldwide, air pollution lowers average life spans by a year. Scientists shared their new findings in Environmental Science & Technology Letters.

Air pollution has been linked to many health problems.Most earlier studies has looked at how tiny air pollutants affected rates of illness or death. But now an environmental scientist, Joshua Apte, is going even further. He works at the University of Texas, Austin. He together with his team is looking at life expectancy, hoping to make the threat easier to understand.

PM 2.5 is what scientists call tiny particles of pollution in the air. Higher levels of PM 2. 5 can cause health problems and cut months, if not years, from the average life span. This analysis show show pollution affects life expectancy in different parts of the world.

The World Health Organization(WHO) recommends limiting PM 2.5 to 10 micrograms(微克) per cubic (立方)meter of air. Apte's group used data to try to find how this low level would help people. But meeting the WHO standard won't get rid of health damage from dirty air.That's because even below 10 micrograms per cubic meter pollution still causes huge risks.

Reducing air pollution could increase life expectancy. The scientists also compared how other threats shorten life spans across the globe. These risk factors included smoking and cancer.

These results show that in poor countries, cleaning up dirty air could greatly increase life spans. It could have as big an effect as cleaning up drinking water, or curing lung cancer. However, in wealthier countries air pollution shortens life expectancy by less than half a year. All forms of cancer, in fact, shorten the average life expectancy by more than 3.5 years.“Knowing this can really help people, or policymakers, decide where to spend their money,” says Kirk Smith.

【1】What is Joshua Apte's team trying to do?

A.Let people understand air pollution better. B.Know how small air pollutants are.

C.Study the life expectancy of different people. D.Study many different healthy problems.

【2】What will happen if one country limits PM 2.5 to 10 micrograms per cube meters?

A.Its people will live a healthy life. B.Its air is very clean.

C.It will get a prize from WHO. D.It still has pollution risks.

【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Cancer is the leading killer in all kinds of diseases.

B.It's very hard to clean up dirty air in a short time.

C.The study will help different countries take different policies.

D.Reducing air pollution can increase all people's lifespans much.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A.The Effect of Cancer Is Worse than Dirty Air

B.Air Pollution Is Shortening Lives Worldwide

C.Many Factors Are Affecting People's Health

D.Governments Are Trying to Make Life Span Long

29、   Clowns (丑角) have been around for a long time. They not only make us laugh at the circus (马戏团) but they used to make the king and his followers laugh in court. The earliest of these fun-makers are called “fools”. In Greek and Roman times these fools dressed up like clowns do today with painted faces and funny costumes (戏服). They danced around the stage and did things to make people laugh as clowns do in circuses today. By medieval times (中世纪) every court had its fools. Fools wore bright colours and had bells (大肚子) on their shoes and their hats.

They were not really meant to be foolish and often they would say wise and sensible things to the king which nobody else was brave enough to say. The king never got cross with the fool as this was his job. He was meant to be both wise and foolish and try to make the situation in court less serious.

Of course people wanted to have their own kind of fool and shows developed in the 1500s in which fools (or Zanies) performed to make the crowd laugh. This kind of entertainment became so popular that it started a special kind of drama in Italy called Commedia dell´arte, which gradually turned into our comedy programmes today. When you watch the antics (滑稽剧) of Charlie Chaplin or Rowan Atkinson, you are watching a kind of comedy that is directly originated from the fools of ancient Rome and Greece.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Scientists have proved what students have long suspected: Maths equations can actually trigger physical pain.

Regions of the brain linked with the experience of physical 【1】 were activated in those fearful of maths when they were presented with a tough equation, researchers have found. The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 【2】 activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.

However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 【3】 event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 【4】 the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.

“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their paper titled. When Math Hurts. “【5】, this relation was not seen during math performance, 【6】 that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 【7】 math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 【8】 paths. We provide the first neural 【9】 indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.

Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 【10】 or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.”
