26、 An Indian barber has come up with an unusual technique to give people haircuts using just a burning candle.
Dasharath Kumau, 28, is now the most demanded barber in his small village in Gulbarga in Karnataka in southern India, with the crazy way of styling people’s hair with a small comb and a burning candle instead of a pair of scissors.
Just as any barber would cut hair using scissors, Dasharath combs the hair and carefully runs the flame of the candle on the ends, giving it a unique finish. Once done, he washes the hair and deep conditions it to let the sharp smell go off. The “cutting-edge” technique has become so popular among men in his village and nearby towns that his salon is always full of customers ---- both young and old alike. Started with only 20 pence, customers now happily pay him $1 for his way of haircut.
While Dasharath had joined his family business when he was 15, the unique idea only clicked him five years ago after power went off at work one day. He says: “Electricity cut was common in our village and we were used to working in dark. But one evening while I was cutting the hair of a customer, power went off and I had to use the light from a candle to finish the haircut. But the flames of the candle that night inspired me to think of using a new technique for cutting hair.”
“I had a bunch of regular customers so when I told them about the experiment, they readily agreed. They happily said they trusted me and my skills and gave a nod for the new technique. Surprisingly, it came out very well. Since then there is no looking back.”
【1】Dasharath Kumar has created a new way of cutting hair with _______.
A.a small comb B.an electric tool
C.candle flames D.a pair of scissors
【2】Dasharath Kumar may owe his success mostly to _____.
A.his own talent B.his customers’ trust
C.his family’s support D.his working conditions
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Dasharath thought of the new haircutting technique at about 23.
B.Dasharath charged $ 1 at first for his unique way of cutting hair.
C.Dasharath does not look back while he is styling a customer’s hair.
D.Dasharath was inspired by the electricity cut to improve his service.
27、The Jishou Art Museum is located at the center of an old town in the city of Jishou. A river called Wanrong runs through the old town, adding a touch of serenity to the historical site. The architects decided to build the museum on top of the river in the shape of a bridge. By making the museum into a bridge, they hoped that people in Jishou would encounter art on their way to work, school, or shops, instead of only seeing it on a special trip.
Typical contemporary cultural institutions, such as museums and grand theaters, are treated as freestanding monuments, far away from the communities. The Jishou Art Museum, however, is integrated into the existing urban framework and well-connected with shops, restaurants, and small hotels, often with owners living upstairs.
Covered bridge (廊桥) has a long tradition in this mountainous region of China. It is used not only for crossing a river but also as a public space where travelers can rest and vendors (小贩) can set up stands. As a modern interpretation of this building type, the Jishou Art Museum has introduced art as a new addition to the covered bridge.
The art museum is composed of two bridges, one on the top of the other. The lower level is an open steel structure that looks like a roofed street for passersby and allows the flow of crowds; the upper level is a concrete arch with a small gallery inside. In between the two bridges is the art museum’s main hall for temporary exhibitions. The entrance hall, administrative office, souvenir shop, and tearoom are situated at either end of the bridge.
The Jishou Art Museum Project was initiated and supported by Huang Yongyu, a contemporary Chinese artist. The museum was completed in 2019 and had its grand opening in the summer of 2021.
【1】Why was the art museum built in the shape of a bridge?

28、The measure of a good night's sleep is usually based on two things—the amount of time spent sleeping and the quality of that sleep. But now researchers say there is a third thing that matters even more than the other two when it comes to keeping good sleep habits, and that is having a regular bedtime.
A study has found that going to sleep and waking up at the same time every day have an important effect on one's health. Adults who stick to a regular bedtime tend to weigh less, have lower blood sugar and reduced risk of heart disease.
The researchers studied the sleeping habits of 2,000 adults with an average age of 69. They found that people with greater irregularity in their sleep patterns tended to go to sleep later at night,feel sleepy and sleep more during the day, and experienced reduced light exposure. These people were also more likely to be stressful. Among the three kinds of sleep problems, sleep regularity was the most strongly associated with health.
Of course ,there are many people for whom this may be impossible, such as night-shift workers or those with late-night duty. But for those who don't have mandatory(强制的) reasons to stay up late, they should make an effort to go to bed at the same time every night. Skip the late afternoon coffee.Get off the phone.Try this calculator to figure out the best bedtime.
As Matthew Walker, a scientist, wrote, "The shorter your sleep, the shorter your life. "Surely that's reason enough to go to bed on time.
【1】What can we infer from the research?
A．Adults enjoy sleeping late.
B．The old often have less sleep.
C．Poor sleep has a lot to do with our health.
D．The older you ar , the more stressed you feel.
【2】Which of the following helps us have a good sleep?
A．Giving up jobs.
B．Drinking coffee.
C．Turning off our cell phones.
D．Using a clock to wake us up.
【3】Why are Matthew Walker's words mentioned ?
A．To show the importance of the good sleep.
B．To tell us how to make our life colorful.
C．To tell us how long we should sleep every day.
D．To present disadvantages of going to bed on time.
【4】What's the best title for the text ?
A．The Importance of Sleep
B．The Suitable Time for Sleep
C．Ways to Have a Good Sleep
D．Stick to a Regular Bedtime
29、 In May, 2010, Christine Jones saw an ad for a customer service job at a call center in Mobile, Alabama. A company, which handles calls for insurance companies (保险公司), needed people with professional phone skills. Jones filled out an online application and was asked for an interview.
A few days later, she arrived at the company in a blue business suit and waited with other applicants for the interview. Jones was among several candidates offered a position that very day by the company's human resource manager Wilson. All that remained was for Jones to fill out some paperwork and take a drug test, which was scheduled for a future date. When Jones realized she was not available that day, she privately told Wilson about the conflict, and Wilson replied that she could reschedule her test for another day.
But right before Jones turned to leave the office, Wilson raised a strange question: Did Jones have dreadlocks (骇人的长辫)? Jones, who is a black, was wearing a dread—very short ones. Wilson, who is white, explained the company couldn’t employ Jones 'with the dreadlocks', since they 'tend to get messy, although I'm not saying yours are, but you know what I'm talking about'. Although Jones would never communicate with callers face to face, the company had 'a policy', which stated that 'hairstyles should show a business image', and that 'excessive (过分的) styles and unusual colors' weren't allowed. Wilson asked Jones to choose whether to get rid of the dread or leave the job. Jones walked out, jobless.
In September, 2013, the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEOC) accused the company on behalf of Jones in the District Court. It argued that the company's policy broke the state's law by discriminating (歧视) against a black job applicant because of her hairstyle, which is 'a manner of wearing a hair that is physiologically (生理上地) and culturally associated with people of African origin.'
But the company claimed that the issue wasn't Jones' race. It was simply about a hairstyle, which Jones, or any applicant, black or white, with dreads, could have changed if she wanted to land the job.
【1】What can we know according to the first two paragraphs?
A.The job Jones applied for mainly dealt with insurance.
B.Jones didn't prepare well for the job interview.
C.Wilson was in charge of the insurance company.
D.Jones rescheduled her test because she wasn’t free on that day.
【2】What does the underlined word 'messy' in Para.3 mean?
A.dirty B.straight C.loose. D.attractive.
【3】The passage shows that ______.
A.Wilson was accused of discriminating against a black applicant.
B.Jones' hairstyle suggested her African origin in physiology and culture.
C.Jones had no choice but to leave the company.
D.Jones went jobless because of her excessive hair color.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.A case of discrimination. B.Dreadlocks, a dread?
C.A black with dreadlocks. D.An argument on dreadlocks.

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Hundreds of years ago, Charles Darwin predicted that facial expressions of emotion are 【1】. If you’ve ever seen an episode of the popular US TV drama Lie To Me, you will really understand facial expressions. The leading actor of the show, Dr. Cal Lightman has spent 20 years studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions, which allows him to point out other people’s studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions which allows him to point out other people’s 【2】 and on many occasions, to be skilled at tricking in order to get the truth.
Is there really much truth behind this science of 【3】 human emotions through expressions? Paul Ekman, a(n) 【4】 psychologist whose work focuses on mapping facial expressions, is Lie To Me’s scientific advisor and the following are some of his explanations.
Hand-to-face gesture indicates a lie.
Each micro-expression is unique to 【5】 specific emotions because the person is often unaware of doing it. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are lying when someone uses a hand to hide part of his face. The person could be holding back information but you may better consider looking at other more important clues rather than just the simple hand-to-face gesture.
A liar refuses eye contact.
People look away when they are thinking carefully and considering each word before it is spoken, not just when they are 【6】 an excuse. Oblique eyebrows are a very reliable 【7】of sadness and few people can make this 【8】 expression, so it is actually never faked.
Guilty knowledge technique is 【9】.
Lightman often uses the guilty knowledge technique, mentioning something that only the guilty person will know about and show a(n)【10】. This is often used in polygraph exams: “Was the person strangled, shot or stabbed to death?” Only the killer knows and is likely to respond physiologically when the actual weapon is mentioned.
