22、How can having a childlike view of the world help the environment? Danish eco-artist Thomas Dambo combines a talent for recycling with a fairy-tale imagination to bring people worldwide closer to nature.

For the “Guardians of the Seeds” exhibition, Danish eco-artist Thomas Dambo built five trolls from discarded wood materials, which were appointed by Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens (CMBG) for its splendid riverside woodland.

The exhibition composed of the five trolls aims to give visitors an emotional connection with nature that will encourage them to become keepers of it. For the exhibition, Thomas came up with a story that a family of trolls hid 10 golden seeds to protect the old forest. Using a map that's provided, visitors follow clues to find where the seeds are hidden.

Besides using carefully selected recycling materials to produce his works, to challenge himself creatively, the artist allowed for a degree of production on-site. He gave a skinny troll named Birk a beard made from the roots of fallen trees. The fur of another troll Roskva is made from bark. Also, Gro, sitting with her eyes closed in a yoga pose, has a tongue made out of a nearby deserted planter.

“Thomas wants people to interact with them,” says Gretchen, president of CMBG. “He wants it to be a journey of discovery where you're walking along and all of a sudden this big magical being appears in front of you. These are friendly, happy trolls. They're not scary, mean trolls.”

Thomas hopes that “Guardians of the Seeds” gives viewers the same joy he gets from an occupation that he compares to a hobby. He says too many people lose their playfulness in their adult life. The key quality of his work is just its playfulness. One of his trolls sits on a real car on a hillside, appearing to cheerfully ride it. He wants to reactivate a childlike imagination in adults so they begin to see trash as objects that can be repurposed in practical and even picturesque ways. And he loves to entertain kids, too.

Nowadays, Mr. Dambo gets a kick out of seeking waste everywhere, hoping to find more stuff he could refashion into something amazing.

【1】What does the underlined word “discarded” mean in paragraph 2?

C．High-priced.

D．Randomly-chosen.

【2】What's the purpose of launching the exhibition?

A．To set off visitors' curiosity.

B．To get back the 10 golden seeds.

C．To promote the popularity of CMBG.

D．To boost the bond between visitors and nature.

【3】What do the examples in paragraph 4 mainly demonstrate about Thomas?

A．His environmental awareness.

B．His creativity and artistic gift.

C．His working efficiency and skill.

D．His sense of social responsibility.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Thomas' Massive Troll Sculptures

25、Should you listen to music when you work?

Do you like to listen to music when you work?

Ask this question at a party, and you’ll probably get _________ responses. Some will say they love it, claiming that it improves their performance; others will say they find it distracting (分散注意力的) and cannot work _________ with music playing in the background.

Interestingly enough, our research has found that both of these viewpoints can be true. It just _________ on what sort of work you’re doing.

In a recent study, we brought participants into our lab to perform a variety of tasks. They included a(n) _________ task-searching through word lists and crossing out words containing the letter “a” and a more difficult task—memorizing word pairs and _________ word to its partner. Some participants completed all of the tasks in silence, _________ others completed the tasks with instrumental music that was cither loud or soft, and either simple or complex, the latter meaning music with more instruments being played. Several key findings _________ from our study.

We found that participants who listened to simple music or no music performed about the same on the easy task. However, participants who listened to _________ music performed best on the easy task.

On the contrary, participants performed worse on the more difficult task when they listened to any music, regardless of complexity or volume, compared to those who didn’t listen to any music.

How should we _________ these findings?

We suggest that people have limited mental resources from which both __________ and tasks can draw. We can become __________ and our minds may wander when these resources are not fully used. But we also can become over-excited and __________ when these resources are used up.

Not surprisingly, we typically need to use fewer of our mental resources when we perform easy tasks, whereas demanding tasks require more brainpower. However, because we might be less __________ during easier tasks, there’s a greater risk of drifting off. Music might give us the extra __________ we need to overcome the monotony (单调). However, difficult tasks already demand lot of our resources. Listening to music can become too much.

So best __________ should appear when we strike “sweet spot,” which may depend on the type of music and the type of task.

26、阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写, 使之构成一个完整的故事。

Henry was a 10-year-old boy. He lived with his mother in a small house which belonged to his grandfather. They led a hard life.

One day, Henry’s mother decided to send Henry to learn business from his only uncle, who lived in another country. She sold some of her ornaments(装饰物) to collect money for Henry’s journey. The following day, Henry got ready for the journey with great excitement. As Henry was young, his mother worried that he would be easily fooled and that the money would be stolen. Hence she sewed a small pocket beneath the right sleeve(袖子) of his shirt near his underarm and hid the money there. She hugged him and said, “Whatever the situation, tell the truth and be brave.”

She also warned him to beware of (提防) strangers and use the money only when needed. Keeping all the advice in mind, Henry set out for the journey by ship with a small bag containing his clothes and a few snacks. It was the first time he had travelled alone. He stared at the blue sea beneath him, admiring the beauty of nature.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise behind him. He turned and noticed that a group of robbers(强盗) had jumped aboard from a small boat next to the ship. Frightened, he looked around. The robbers were grabbing money, jewellery and other items from the passengers. Henry tried to stand firm as his legs started to shake. The leader of the robbers approached Henry and laughed aloud and said, “Let’s see what you have got.”

Saying this, he took the bag from Henry and emptied all the things out on the floor. All the clothes and snacks fell on the floor. “No money?” asked the leader. He thought as the boy was small, he must not have carried any money with him and turned to leave. Suddenly, Henry cried out loudly and bravely, “I do have money. It’s here.”
