24、 For hundreds of years, scientists have been trying to answer what things have an effect on people’s emotions(情感). How you feel is controlled by many things. Your emotions can be affected by your personality, by the actions of others and by events around you. Perhaps you don’t know your emotions can be affected by the weather as well.

People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, it helps our bodies produce vitamin D(维生素). Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical. This special chemical affects our brains and makes us feel happy. For example, there are long, dark winters of little sunlight in some countries in the world, so many people in these countries often feel sad. Without much sunlight, their bodies produce less vitamin D. Without enough vitamin D, their bodies make less of this special chemical which makes them feel good. To help the people in these countries feel better, special “sunrooms” with artificial lights have been built. People can go there and get “sunlight” for an hour or two!

The weather can also affect people’s emotions in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people feel uncomfo rtable when they are hot. In the same way, rain can make people angry because being wet can be unpleasant. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which control our brains. Through these days, the weather can affect our emotions. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we can hardly change the weather.

【1】The underlined word “artificial” in the passage means “________” in Chinese.

A. 天然的   B. 人造的   C. 虚构的

【2】From the passage we know that _______.

A.people feel good when it is cloudy

B.in the countries where there are long, dark winters of little sunlight, many people feel sad

C.special “sunrooms” have been built all over the world

【3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor (因素) that can affect one's emotions?

A. Weather. B. Actions of others.

C. Personality. D. Age.

【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A.Enough vitamin D makes people feel good

B.Both hot weather and rainy weather can make people angry

C.Only weather can control our emotions.

【5】 The best title for this passage should be _______

A.People Need More Vitamin D

B.We Can Hardly Change the Weather

C.Weather Affects People’s Emotions

25、   Real policemen can hardly tell any similarity between their lives and what they see on TV.

The first difference is that a policeman’s real life is almost around criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what can be used to prove someone guilty and lead him into prison. He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer, and what is more,he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down a street after someone he wants to talk to.

Little of his time is spent in chatting. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty of stupid crimes.

Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal:as soon as he's arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding a criminal is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks, only a little effort is spent on searching.

Having made an arrest, a policeman really starts to work. He has to prove his case so that he often has to look for a lot of different clues.

A third big difference between the drama policeman and the real one is the unpleasant pressures: first, as members of a police force, they always have to behave completely according to the law. Secondly, as expensive public servants, they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.

If a policeman has to deceive the world, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And most policemen feel the separation between themselves and the rest of the world is deepened. Most citizens, social workers, doctors, law-makers, and judges are in some ways simple-minded, they suggest not punishing the criminals in a very strict way in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, most policemen feel is that nine-tenths of their work is re-catching people who should have stayed prison. This makes them feel rather bad.

【1】Most crime drama on TV ends with   .

A.a terrorist attack B.a criminal's arrest

C.another crime happening D.the discovery of clues

【2】Which of the following statements is true?

A.A policeman needs to spend time chatting and typing on forms.

B.A policeman never searches unless some serious cases take place.

C.A policeman should be professional enough to know the law well.

D.A policeman can break the rules in small ways in order to get results.

【3】What can we infer from the underlined sentence?

A.Most policemen feel tired out. B.Strong punishment causes crimes.

C.A policeman's work is boring. D.only a few criminals will reform.

【4】The passage mainly tells us   .

A.criminals should behave completely according to the law

B.people usually judge a policeman by his knowledge of law

C.a policeman’s real life is different from what is shown on TV

D.there is separation between the police and the rest of the world

27、On the first day of school, our teacher challenged us to get to know someone new. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned round to find an old lady looking up at me with a smile. She said, “Hi, handsome! I’m Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed, “Of course! Why are you in college at such a ‘young’ age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children and then travel around.” “Are you serious?” I asked. I wondered why she challenged herself such a thing at this age. “I always dreamed of having a college education, and now I’m getting one.” she told me.

We became friends. Every day, we would leave class together and talk for hours. Listening to this human “time machine” was so interesting, when she shared her years of wisdom (智慧) and experience with me.

At the end of the term, we invited Rose to speak at a meeting. I’ll never forget what she told us. “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only a few secrets to staying young. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.” she said.

“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t need any talent or ability,” she added. “But growing up requires finding the chance in change. Have no regrets. People usually don’t have regrets for what they did, but for things they did not do.”

28、   For many dog 【1】 (own), walking their pets may be one of the happiest moments in a day or relaxation for 【2】 (they) and their pets.

However, for dog owners in Wenshan city in Yunnan province, walking their dogs has just become more 【3】 (convenience). 【4】 city released (发布) a notice saying that dog owners are banned (禁止) from walking their pets in the city from 7 am to 10 pm.

Some people agree with the rule, saying it makes people 【5】 (feel) safer.

“It is from 7 am to 10 pm that people are very active, and banning dog walking at that time could help avoid conflicts (冲突) between dogs and people,” a reporter wrote for the Yangtse Evening Post.

Others say the rule is inconvenient for pet owners and their pets.

“The rule is too strict though 【6】 (everybody) situation is different,” a Wenshan pet owner Mr. Ziang said.

The rule was introduced due to a growing number 【7】 conflicts between dog owners and people walking on the street. Early this month, a dog owner in Hangzhou attacked (攻击) a woman 【8】 tried to drive an unleashed (未拴绳的) dog away as it started barking at her son. A fight followed.

Wang Yukai, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Governance in Beijing, said that while Wenshan’s rule is well-intentioned (好意的), banning dogs from 【9】(walk) from 7 am to 10 pm is a bad idea. Efforts to prevent conflicts should focus on making sure that dog owners raise their dogs 【10】 (proper), Wang told The Beijing News.

29、   There was a king who loved art very much. One day a(n) _______ came and said, “Oh, give me a blank (空白的) wall in your palace and let me _______ a picture on it.

At the same time, another artist came and said, “Oh, King! Please allow me to work on the _______ wall. I shall make exactly what that man makes on the wall _______ looking at his work,” The king decided to give this young man a chance.

The following day they began to work. The first artist brought in some common things, like paint, oil, water and so on. The second one came with a _______ and a bucket (桶).

A month later, they both finished the works. The king went to _______ the first artist’s wall. It was great. He was _______ with it and gave the artist a lot of money. He went to the second man, the same painting was on the opposite wall. The king was quite satisfied and gave him double money. However, he _________ how the second man had made it.
