21、When is cleaning walls a crime? When you’re doing it to create art, obviously. A number of street artists around the world have started expressing themselves through a practice known as reverse graffiti (涂鸦). They find dirty surfaces and paint them with images or messages using cleaning brushes or pressure hoses (高压水管). Either way, it’s the same principle: the image is made by cleaning away the dirt. Each artist has their own individual style but all artists share a common aim: to draw attention to the pollution in our cities.
The UK’s Paul Curtis, better known as Moose, operates around Leeds and London and has been appointed by a number of companies to make reverse graffiti advertisements. Brazilian artist, Alexandre Orion, turned one of Sao Paulo’s transport tunnels into an amazing wall painting in 2006 by getting rid of the dirt. Made up of series of white skulls (颅骨), the painting reminds drivers of the effect their pollution is having on the planet. “Every motorist sits in the comfort of their car, but they don’t give any consideration to the price their comfort has for the environment and consequently for themselves,” says Orion.
The anti-pollution message of the reverse graffiti artists confuses city authorities since the main argument against graffiti is that it spoils the appearance of both types of property: public and private. This was what Leeds City Council said about Moose’s work: “Leeds residents want to live in clean and attractive neighborhoods. We view this kind of advertising as environmental damage and will take strong action against it.” Moose was ordered to “clean up his act.” How was he supposed to do this: by making all property he had cleaned dirty again?
As for the Brazilian artist’s work, the authorities were annoyed but could find nothing to charge him with. They had no other option but to clean the tunnel — but only the parts Alexandre had already cleaned. The artist merely continued his campaign on the other side. The city officials then decided to take further action. They not only cleaned the whole tunnel but every tunnel in Sao Paulo.
【1】What do we learn from the passage about reverse graffiti?
A．It uses paint to create anti-pollution images.
B．It creates a lot of trouble for local residents.
C．It causes lots of distraction to drivers.
D．It turns dirty walls into artistic works.
【2】What do we learn about Brazilian artist Alexandre Orion?
A．He was good at painting white skulls.
B．He chose tunnels to do his graffiti art.
C．He suggested banning all polluting cars.
D．He was fond of doing creative artworks.
【3】What does the author imply about Leeds City Council’s decision?
A．It is simply absurd.
B．It is well-informed.
C．It is rather unexpected.
D．It is quite sensible.
【4】How did Sao Paulo city officials handle Alexandre Orion's reverse graffiti?
A．They made him clean all the tunnels in Sao Paulo.
B．They took further action to ban all reverse graffiti.
C．They charged him with polluting tunnels in the city.
D．They made it impossible for him to practice his art.
22、Today I had to go to work with my crutches (拐杖). I was worried about using my crutches. People would think I was looking for attention, judge me because I was overweight or think I didn’t need then. I kept asking my husband, “Is this odd?” He replied, “I don’t know what kind of pain you’re in.” I accepted that. He didn’t know. I couldn’t assume anything. I had to do what was best for me.
Six months ago, I was in the emergency room twice for unbearable pain in my hips (臀部) and down my left leg. I couldn’t stand, walk or sit. The doctors declared it sciatica (坐骨神经痛) and ordered physical treatment, which did help.
But since the sciatic attack, I have been suffering from pain. I had to stay at home from work because I could barely get out of bed. I was not sure what was going on, but I knew that there were days when I needed help.
I used crutches because my hips ached with every move. The doctor agreed the crutches would keep me upright and would help me keep moving when I didn’t want to or couldn’t move.
On weekdays, I had to stand for hours sometimes, I spent the weekends packing boxes and carrying things down stairs because we were moving to another apartment. We didn’t get everything packed in time for the move, so now we had to finish up.
I overworked my body, so my crutches came with me to work today. Some people remembered my first sciatic attack and offered to help with stuff. Others forgot and were shocked that just yesterday, I wasn’t using crutches, but today I was. My boss assigned me tasks that I couldn’t do today, but my student assistant offered to help. At lunch, when I lay on the floor of my office and took a rest, no one laughed at me.
Tonight I have to do more packing and more loading. I’m grateful for my crutches. I can have an easy laugh and make jokes about the pain—oh, you know that sciatica, undiagnosed repeated pain!

24、You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Laughter is the best medicine.” Comedy on Referral has taken that idea and run with it, using standup comedy to help treat people struggling with trauma (精神创伤) and anxiety in partnership with the National Health Service (NHS).
The idea came from comedian Angie Belcher’s experiences teaching comedy at University of Bristol. She found that students often told her how much stronger and more resilient (有适应力的) they were thanks to standup comedy.
Inspired, she teamed up with the NHS in Bristol to create a six-week comedy course for patients struggling with trauma in January 2022. Following the success of this initial course, Comedy on Referral won NHS funding to help men with trauma in London.
Belcher said, “Past traumas are perfect for comedy. Comedy doesn’t come from the happy, perfect moments of your life, but from our everyday struggles and major life events. People who’ve been through big life experiences such as losing a loved one and ill health often can’t wait to tell me their stories, mostly because there’s always something especially funny about the situation.”
Research has shown that laughter has positive psychological effects, such as decreasing levels of cortisol—the stress hormone—and increasing endorphins (内啡肽). It can even have physiological benefits, although less research has been done in this area. Current research has linked laughter and humour with increased levels of pain tolerance as well as short-term cardiovascular benefits. More research is needed to prove these findings.
Nonetheless, the mental health benefits of regular laughter are widely accepted, and using comedy to treat mental health struggles could be a real breakthrough in the treatment of mental health.
【1】Why is the phrase mentioned in paragraph 1?
A．To stress the importance of laugh.
B．To explain the harm trauma causes.
C．To show the effect of standup comedy.
D．To state the idea behind Comedy on Referral.
【2】How was the first six-week comedy course for patients?
A．Effective.
B．Ambiguous.
C．Controversial.
D．Fruitless.
【3】What may contribute to a comedy according to Belcher?
A．Struggling moments.
B．Funny moments.
C．Happy moments.
D．Successful moments.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Laugh will cure you of all diseases
B．Anxiety can also make you feel better
C．Laughter is useful to people’s mental health
D．Comedy is one thing that can make you struggle

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。
An awkward experience
I was walking along the road to school one day and I met my friend Raine. He suggested that we skip school and go to the movies. I refused because my dad was very strict and I knew he would be mad. Raine offered various reasons but I still refused. Finally, he said there was a Will Smith movie at the local cinema and that I couldn’t afford to miss it. Finally curiosity got the better of me and I agreed to go.
So we set off to the movies together, bought our tickets, popcorn and drinks and settled down comfortably. The movie was due to start in fifteen minutes and the lights were still on. We watched people coming in groups, families and there were couples too. Some of them looked like school students cutting classes like us. As I turned around, I suddenly caught sight of my uncle Andy and aunt Jane walking in. I sank into my seat quickly to avoid being spotted. I signaled to Raine that there was someone I didn’t want to see. But Raine made it more obvious by turning around and asking “Who? And where?” loudly, which made me sit even lower in my seat.
To make things worse, they came and sat just in the row behind us. I couldn’t help but overhear(偷听) their conversation. They were discussing how much I would have loved to come to this movie, knowing my admiration for Will Smith. They were even commenting about the students cutting classes. They spoke in a low voice, but their words were loud enough for me to catch. They discussed the bad influence of cutting classes and the importance of studying hard at school. My heart sank with these words. It was as if they were unknowingly lecturing me, reminding me why I shouldn’t have given in to Raine’s suggestion.
注意：
1. 续写短文的词数应为150左右;
