26、Were you ever told to stop daydreaming and concentrate at school? 【1】Staying focused can still be a challenge in adult life, but understanding how to do it, and knowing what is distracting you, can help.
Scientists have looked at what makes us delay and found a number of ways to help us stay in the zone. One of the most obvious things is getting rid of noise. 【2】 It also found turning off notifications on your phone, or switching it off altogether, removes a major distraction and helps us focus on the task at hand.
【3】 Psychologists and neuroscientists are increasingly interested in our ability to study and have looked at what we can change inside our head to make us concentrate. Attention Resercher Nilli Lavie of University College London has found that making a task of training takes up more processing power and leaves the brain nothing left to process distractions. So, keeping your mind busy might be the answer.
There are more practical tips to keeping your mind focused. 【4】 It’s possible the movement in your mouth occupies parts of the brain that might otherwise get distracted.
But according to Science Focus magazine, distraction isn’t all bad. “If we were always so focused that we never got distracted, we’d miss potential changes, such as threats, in our environment. 【5】”
A．Distraction is significant for survival!
B．Brain training is also a possible solution.

D．Quietness and silence contributes to concentration.
E．The feeling may signal to your brain that it’s time to sleep.
F．Choose a proper time for you based on your energy levels.
G．Making a busy schedule or chewing some gum might be involved!
27、 MADRID — What is it that makes people happy? Youth, health, a good job, good looks, a flashy car? None of these things, Spanish experts say.
The concept of happiness is coming under increasingly close examination in Spain. As the nation rises to the club of the world’s wealthiest countries, people are discovering that material things do not bring happiness.
“Most people use money as a measure of human value,” says Jesus Yn-fante, author of a book on Spain’s 300 biggest fortunes. “Expensive products are regarded as the best. The rich are admired simply for being rich,” Yn-fante said. Yet psychologists (心理学家) warn that happiness cannot be bought. They advise people to look for it in human relations and in the small pleasures of everyday life.
Many people regard happiness as moment of ecstatic pleasure (狂喜) — something that, by definition, cannot last — while others speak of it as peace and acceptance of oneself. Polls (问卷 调 查 ) in different countries indicate that between 65 and 85 percent of the world’s population regard themselves as reasonably happy.
Around 40 percent of a person’s happiness is thought to be determined by genetics ( 遗传), while the rest depends on childhood environment and the process of growing up.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about happiness is that it has little to do with age, health, wealth, or other values thought to be important in Western society.
For most Spaniards, happiness is linked with feeling close to other people.
Happy people accept their limitations and set themselves reachable goals, experts say. There are lifestyle choices which favour happiness, such as exercise, eating carbohydrates (含碳 水化合物的食物) and exposing oneself to sunlight.
But the main secret of happiness is to take pleasure in small things.
“If you are given a choice between eternal (永久的) happiness and cheese sandwich, take the sandwich,” advises musician Julian Hernandez.
【1】Spain, as this passage tells us, .
A.has built more clubs than the other countries.
B.has owned the largest group of experts.
C.has become one of the richest countries in the world.
D.has produced the most wealth in the world.
【2】It can be concluded that Jesus Yn-fante is .
A.a famous and rich expert. B.a famous psychologist.
C.one of the richest Spaniards. D.a writer familiar with the richest Spaniards.
【3】As psychologists warn in this passage, people can’t feel happy even if they .
A.have much money. B.only care about themselves.
C.don’t do any homework. D.have a few relations.
【4】Happy people, as we can find in this passage, .
A.are always full of feelings. B.are always born in rich families.
C.always enjoy every achievement they get. D.always look down upon themselves.
【5】What Julian Hernandez advises at the end of this passage suggests that .
A.he is not a happy musician. B.he is leading a hard life.
C.he doesn’t agree to the idea in this passage. D.he is humorous.
28、In our daily life,friends are needed. Everyone likes feeling close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we will feel lonely if we never have a friend.
No two people are just the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up and go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we call them and write to them. It could be that we would even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.
Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men or women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.
There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. If someone cares about you, you will feel good.
【1】The first paragraph tells us .
A. making friends is a need in people’s life
B. we always need friends around us
C. what the feeling of having no friends is
D. we need to be alone in our life
【2】Which of the following places people name after their friendly people is NOT mentioned (提到) in the passage?

C. A school. D. A library.
【3】Why do people who have friends live longer?
A. They feel happier and healthier.
B. They know more about friendship.
C. They take less care of themselves.
D. They care more about their friends.
29、 Once called “the bridge that couldn’t be built,” today it is one the seven wonders of the modern world. This magnificent span, perhaps San Francisco’s most famous landmark, opened in 1937 after a four-year struggle against non-stop winds, fog, rock and treacherous tides.
The world-famous Golden Gate Bridge is easily recognized by its International Orange color. The bridge was built at a cost of $35 million in principal and $39 million in interest and 11 workers’ lives. The bridge, with its twin towers reaching skyward 746 feet, was once taller than any building in San Francisco. It took more than 10 years to make a plan due to powerful opposition, but only four years in actual construction, the Golden Gate Bridge brought the communities of San Francisco and Marin counties closer together.
Pedestrians (行人) including wheelchair users and bicyclists can go on the sidewalks of the bridge during daylight hours but skateboards and roller skates are not permitted.
If you can’t visit the bridge in person, do the virtual bridge walk and don’t forget to check out the view from the top of the south tower.
If interested in biking across the bridge, the Presidio offers bike rentals and electric bike share opportunities, plus a recommended bike path through Crissy Field. For more information, visit the Presidio online.

31、Directions: Complete the following sentences by using the proper form of the words or expressions given in the frame. Each one can only be used once.
There’s a Museum for Everyone
What comes to mind when you think of a museum? Perhaps you 【1】 an imposing building in a rather conventional（传统的）design made of high-quality stone? Perhaps you imagine a classic 【2】, such as the museum of natural history, the museum of fine art, or the national museum -- its exhibits displayed in a time - 【3】 style and falling in line with tradition.
Some people might consider these customary institutions the best way to 【4】 the future of typical educational topics. A museum of old breadboards, they may say, does not make up an orthodox（正统的）exhibition. But according to the Museum Association, a museum is defined as a place enabling “... people to 【5】 collections for inspiration, learning and enjoyment.” And so of the 2500 estimated museum in the UK, a few are bound to be considered a little unconventional.
What about Neil Cole’s Adventures in Science Fiction? This odd museum of classic science fiction was opened by the 【6】 Neil Cole. “Science fiction has become more mainstream so I thought people might want to see this,” says Mr Cole.
If clocks are more to your 【7】, why not visit the Cuckoo-land Museum? Set up by brothers Roman and Maz Piekarski, this collection of over 600 cuckoo（布谷鸟）clocks is considered to be the largest of its kind in the world -- and all from the Black Forest region in Germany.
Finally, you could visit the Victor Wynd Museum of Curiosities in London. This 【8】 institution reverses the trend of educating visitors through 【9】 explanations alongside its exhibits. Instead, it displays all of its 【10】 treasures, which include dodo bones, shrunken heads and a collection of McDonald’s Happy Meal toys, with no explanation at all.
32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Joy, a ten-year-old boy who loved nature, is always ready to help others, whether animals or humans. For example, he is always keeping water in a large basin in his yard for watering the birds and other animals.
One noon, he was playing on the grass in a bushy garden after school. He enjoyed the chirping (叽喳叫) birds, colorful butterflies, and two squirrels playing on the coconut trees. It was their own free kingdom, and Joy felt like an outsider. He decided to give them space to enjoy freely.
So he found an open grass and lay down, feeling like sunbathing on a greeny beach. Under the hot sun, Joy covered the eyes with his soft palms (手掌). His mind flew and thought about his class teacher Miss Shyla’s homework task — to do a good deed every day.
Joy stretched (伸出) out his hands, fed the squirrel some crazy biscuits and played with it. He felt the tiny eyes of a squirrel upon him. And just then, Joy saw a big rat spying on him from a hole. Upon seeing the big rat, Joy rose to his feet before it silently moving and running towards the hole. Finally, he failed to find the rat and the rat hid into its hole. Joy lay down again.
As he enjoyed the greeny beach and the sight of the blue sky, he couldn’t help but thought, “What a wonderful and blessed world it is! We humans should allow the animals to live as they wished.”
Suddenly, a tiny bird fell to the ground before his eyes. The bird shook several times and then lost consciousness (知觉). Joy jumped up and tried his best to wake the bird up, but failed. He thought the bird had fainted (晕倒) because of the heat. He couldn’t bear to see the little creature suffer and decided to take care of the bird.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Joy picked up the bird and rushed back home.
