26、Scientists are making new studies of color and its effects on our health. They have known for a long time that the color of a room or the color of the light in it can affect our feelings and emotions. Many prisons and hospitals have at least one room that is painted pink. Officials have found that light and color can produce physical changes in our bodies.
Professor Falfan worked with a group of 9 disabled children at school in Albert. Two of the children were blind. The other seven had normal sight. The scientists changed the color of the school room, and then looked for changes in blood pressure, heart beat and breathing rate. The effects of color changes were the same for the blind children as for those with normal sight. Their blood pressure dropped from about 120 to 100. Similar changes were reported in heart-beat and the breathing. The children were also calmer and less excited. Then the colors of the room were returned to orange and white. Blood pressure, heart-beat and breathing rate went up and the children became excited again.
Professor Falfan said different colors produce different levels of light energy. He said the differences seem to affect chemicals in the brain that carry messages from nerve to nerve and from nerve to muscle.
【1】Light and color can affect ________.
A．only one’s feelings and emotions
B．one’s energy
C．one’s mental changes
D．one’s heart-beat, brain activities, blood pressure, feelings and emotions
【2】The color of pink had a calming effect, that is to say, the color affects ________.
A．the chemicals in the brain
B．the eyes
C．the skin
D．the muscle

C. orange and white to pink or some other colors
D. gray to more colors
27、Twenty-five young musicians from around the world have come to California to train and perform this month. They will take part in an international program called iPalpiti. The name comes from the Italian word for heartbeats.
Eduard Schmieder is the program’s conductor and musical director. Schmieder and his wife started the program in 1997 with help from violinist and conductor Yehudi Menuhin.
This year, the musicians come from 19 countries, including Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Israel and Italy. Schmieder notes some of the musicians are from countries that are at war with each other. And they are sitting next to each other, and they become friends. He says through their music and friendship, they are making the world more peaceful.
The musicians taking part in the program range in age from their late teens to their 30s. Schmieder said they include winners of major music competitions. Peter Rainer is a violin player from Germany. He serves as concertmaster, the link between the musicians and conductor. “It’s so great that you have so many sensitive musicians. They all are very alert and awake and listen to each other and it’s a lot of fun.” Turkish viola player Can Sakul says the international group works well together. “The experience is a cultural as well as a musical exchange,” said Russian violinist Semyon Promoe. “Everyone has their own opinion of music, how to play every composition. It’s very interesting to interact with everybody, to play together and to create one opinion for everybody.” This year, the festival focuses on music from the 1600s to the 1900s. But cello player Francisco Vila of Ecuador said the music has no geographic boundaries.
Vila added that the musicians get to know more about each other as they perform great music. “It’s interesting to see where we intersect，how many things we have in common. And also the music world is quite small, so you’re only one person away from knowing everyone else.” Can Sakul said the musicians who have taken part in the training and festival make up a big family. He added that he is proud to be a part of it.
【1】When was the program founded?
A．This month.
B．From 1600s.

B．music makes the world more peaceful.
C．musicians are from different countries.
D．the world is not peaceful.
【3】What do Semyo Promoe’s words suggest in the fourth paragraph?
A．The program concentrates more on culture than on music.
B．Musicians from different cultures can play well together.
C．Cultural differences affect musicians’ performance a lot.
D．Different people have the same understanding of music.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Musicians have much in common.
B．A national music program.
C．Music has no geographic boundaries.

28、 Do you know the Eiffel Tower when you see a picture of it? Of course you do! So do a lot of other people. In fact, I believe more people recognize the Eiffel Tower than any other famous structure in the whole world. That long, long capital A is easy to remember.
The Eiffel Tower is the famous symbol of the city of Paris. It also stands for France just as the Statue of Liberty stands for the United States.
The Eiffel Tower was not very well liked at first, even though the design had been chosen out of seven hundred designs. A contest had been held to find a design for a tower to be built in Paris by 1889.That year would be one hundred years after the war known as the French Revolution. The French Revolution marked the time when the French people broke away from the rule of kings. It was a very important thing to all Frenchmen, and they wanted a special tower to be built to mark the 100 years.
When his design was chosen, Eiffel was fifty-four, rich, and well known for his fine work. He had already designed dams, churches, railroad stations, bridges, harbors and, of course, the framework of the Statue of Liberty. But it was the Eiffel Tower that made him really famous. At first, the French hated the tower. When it was begun in 1887, people called it ugly and useless. They also said that it couldn’t be built safely, and that it would fall down. As the tower gets close to her nineties, she is still in great shape. And the French people have changed their minds. Now they are very proud of their Eiffel Tower. They even think she is beautiful!
【1】The writer believes that the Eiffel Tower is ________ than any other famous structure in the world.
A．taller
B．older
C．better designed
D．better known
【2】The French Revolution was important to the French because ________.
A．it gave France a new queen
B．it got rid of a bad king
C．it ended the rule of kings
D．they built the Eiffel Tower 100 years later
【3】The Eiffel Tower is easy to remember because of its ________.
A．shape
B．color
C．size
D．history
【4】What does this passage mainly tell us?
A．Eiffel designed many different kinds of things.
B．The reasons why many people know the Eiffel Tower.
C．Some opinions that the Eiffel Tower should not be built then.
D．Some interesting facts about the Eiffel Tower.
29、A new study has found that a child’s reading speed can be improved by simply increasing the space between letters within a piece of text. The research, led by Dr Steven Stagg of Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), examined the benefits of letter spacing and coloured overlays (颜色标注) among children.
Two groups of children, dyslexic (有阅读障碍的) and non-dyslexic children, were asked to read four texts with either standard or extra-large letter spacing, both with and without a coloured overlay. They were instructed to read the text out loud while being recorded. The recording was used to measure the number of errors they made — specifically missed words, added words, wrong words, and pronunciation — as well as the participants’ reading time.
The study discovered that text with increased space between letters provided a benefit for both groups. On average, the dyslexia group showed a 13% rise in reading speed, while the group of non-dyslexic children showed a 5% rise. In addition to improving reading speed, it also resulted in a significant decline in the number of words missed by the children with dyslexia. However, the study found that coloured overlays had no significant impact on reading speed or the reduction of errors for either group.
Dr Stagg, Senior Lecturer in Psychology at ARU, said, “We believe extra-large letter spacing works by reducing what is known as the ‘crowding effect’ (拥挤效应), which can hamper the recognition of letters and reduce reading speed.”
“Our findings strongly suggest that teachers can be confident that all children would be helped by increased letter spacing in reading materials.” Dr Stagg added. While we found that coloured overlays provided little benefit, we suggest children should be encouraged to use overlays if they find these help their reading. Coloured overlays may not increase reading speeds, but they may extend reading stamina (持久力). Previous research suggests their benefits may not become apparent if reading time is less than 10 minutes and the short reading duration of the tests in our study may have put coloured overlays at a disadvantage (劣势).
【1】Which of the following best describes the research process in paragraph 2?
A．Explain, group and report.
B．Read, instruct and measure.
C．Question, guess and prove.
D．Classify, record and count.
【2】What can we learn about increased letter spacing from paragraph 3?
A．It increases reading speed.
B．It sharpens reading skills.
C．It arouses reading interest.
D．It enhances reading comprehension.
【3】What does the underlined word “hamper” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Obtain.
B．Prevent.
C．Change.
D．Involve.
【4】What can be inferred about coloured overlays from paragraph 5?
A．They might work better in short reading.
B．They might not be known by experts.
C．They might not have been evaluated fairly.
D．They might have some advantages.
