21、 In recent years,stressed-out people living in cities have been seeking protection in green spaces for the proven positive impacts on physical and mental health,but the benefits of"blue space"-the sea and coastline,but also rivers,lakes,canals,waterfalls,even fountains-are less well advertised, yet the science has been consistent for at least a decade:being by water is good for body and mind.
＂Many of the processes are exactly the same as with green space-with some added benefits," says Dr Mathew White,a senior lecturer at the University of Exeter.
White says there are three established pathways by which the presence of water is positively related to health and happiness.First,there are the beneficial environmental factors,such as less polluted air and more sunlight.Second,people who live by water tend to be more physically active. Third-and this is where blue space seems to have an advantage over other natural environments-water has a psychological recovery effect.When you are sailing,surfing or swimming,says White,＂you're really in step with natural forces there."
Catherine Kelly is a wellness practitioner who teaches classes in"mindfulness by the sea”.She says the sea has a quality that can make people thoughtful.
＂To go to the sea means letting go,"says Kelly."It could be lying on a beach or somebody handing you a cocktail.For somebody else,it could be a wild,empty coast.But there is this really human sense of:'Oh, look,there's the sea-and the shoulders drop."
【1】Why are blue spaces less popular than green spaces?
A.Because green spaces are good to people's health.
B.Because little research has been done on blue spaces.
C.Because green spaces have more benefits than blue spaces.
D.Because the benefits of green spaces are better advertised.
【2】Where is blue space superior to other natural environments according to White?
A.Where there's water,there's fresh air.
B.People living near water are healthier.
C.Water can help people restore mental health.
D.The sea can make people lost in deep thought.
【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.The sea will bring you loneliness.
B.The sea will hurt your shoulder.
C.The sea will put you at ease.
D.The sea will make you feel down.
【4】What does the author mainly want to tell us?
A.People in cities prefer green spaces.
B.Blue spaces help both physically and mentally.
C.Green spaces have been out of date.
D.Ways to keep us healthy.

23、 It’s common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting seems to look back at viewers, following them with her eyes no matter where they are in the room. But this common knowledge turns out wrong.
A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle of 15.4° off to the viewer’s right — well outside the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann, “She’s not looking at you.”
This is ironic (讽刺), because the entire phenomenon of a person’s gaze (凝视) in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the “Mona Lisa effect”, which is absolutely real. If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.
Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars (虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa” and realized she wasn’t looking at him.
To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers gathered 24 people to view images of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer screen. They set a ruler between the viewer and the screen and asked the participants to note which number on the ruler intersected (相交) Mona Lisa’s gaze. To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze as she looked at the viewer, they moved the ruler farther from or closer to the screen during the study. Consistently, the researchers found, participants judged that the woman in the “Mona Lisa” portrait was not looking straight at them, but slightly off to their right.
So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn’t sure. It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “Mona Lisa effect” just thought it was a cool name.
【1】It is generally believed that the woman in the painting “Mona Lisa” ________.
A．attracts the viewers to look back
B．seems mysterious because of her eyes
C．fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers
D．looks at observers wherever they stand
【2】What did the new study find?
A．The Mona Lisa effect does not really exist.
B．The mystery of the woman’s smile in the painting.
C．The angle of the gaze in Mona Lisa effect.
D．Mona Lisa effect does not occur with Mona Lisa.
【3】The experiment involving 24 people was conducted to ________.
A．confirm Horstmann’s belief
B．create artificial-intelligence avatars
C．calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze
D．show how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A．Horstmann thinks it cool to coin the term “Mona Lisa effect”.
B．The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.
C．Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.
D．The position of the ruler in the experiment will influence the viewers’ judgement.
24、 A lot of people say math is not their strong suit. One New Jersey parent wants to help change that. Laura Overdeck grew up with numbers. She always helped measure ingredients（食材）when her mother baked，and she learned about angles from her father. She went on to major in astrophysics（天体物理学）in college. Overdeck wanted her own children to be good at math，too.“And when our first child was about two，we just started giving her a math problem every night，”Overdeck said. The problem was usually a story，involving animals，cars or candies that let the kid count.“Our third child started，at age two，yelling that he wanted his own math problem because he saw his brother and sister doing it. And we thought，‘Wow，we have a household where math is the popular thing at bedtime，’”Overdeck said.
In February，Overdeck set up Bedtime Math，an Internet website where she posts daily puzzles for children. Overdeck is particularly keen to hook（吸引）children on numbers before they go to school. So why introduce little ones to math so early？
Sian Beilock，an expert on performance anxiety，says the more fun and familiar math is early on，the less likely children will feel nervous when they start to learn math in school.“My lab has shown recently that kids as early as first grade report feeling anxious about doing math，”Beilock said.
“You can hear totally educated adults say，‘You know I’m just not that good at math.’or‘I’m kind of afraid of math.’And that’s a totally acceptable thing for a well-educated person to say，but you never hear them say，‘Well，you know，I’m just not that good at reading.’，”Overdeck said. She wants children and their parents to become as fluent in numbers as they are in Harry Potter.
【1】Overdeck majored in astrophysics because she.
A.was really fond of mathematics
B.hoped to change math education in the US
C.had an interest in physics
D.would like her children to be good at math
【2】What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A.Stories can be used to encourage kids in solving math problems.
B.Math will become more popular in every household.
C.Math is enjoyable in Overdeck’s family.
D.The third child is cleverer than his brother and sister.
【3】Beilock’s attitude towards Overdeck’s idea is.
A.agreeable B.puzzled
C.anxious D.critical
【4】The unfavorable situation of the US in math ability is shown by.
A.the popularity of Bedtime Math
B.children’s performance anxiety in school

26、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。
Once upon a time, there was a boy who always enjoyed listening to his mother’s story about the statue (雕像) standing beside their house.
The statue’s name was Miriad, who was the symbol of kindness. People who walked by the statue showed their respect through bowing (鞠躬) in front of Miriad’s statue. It became a tradition in their village that everyman who died due to helping others would be honored as Miriad, and would be remembered by all the people.
One night, the boy asked his mother how Miriad gained his respect from all the people in this village. “He was just a simple man,” his mother said. “He helped people selflessly, thinking others first.” “Well, I can also do that,” the boy proudly told his mother. His mother continued, “That is the reason why people made Miriad a statue, for you child to copy and not to forget.”
One morning, the boy saw a little girl crying under an apple tree. “Why do you cry?” the boy asked. “I was trying to get myself some fruit from this apple tree and suddenly I fell down from it,” the little girl explained. “Let me do it for you,” the boy said. He started to climb up the tree and picked as many apples a she could. After a while, the boy jumped down from the tree and gave all the apples to the little girl.
