We all know what a brain is．A doctor will tell you that the brain is the organ of the body in the head．It controls our body's functions, movements, emotions and thoughts．But a brain can mean so much more．
A brain can also simply be a smart person, If a person is called brainy, she is smart and intelligent．If a family has many children but one of them is super smart, you could say, "She's the brains in the family．" And if you are the brains behind something you are responsible for developing or organizing something．For example, Bill Gates is the
brains behind Microsoft
Brain trust is a group of experts who give advice．Word experts say the phrase
"brain trust" became popular when Franklin D．Roosevelt first ran for president in
1932, Several professors gave him advice on social and political issues facing the U．S．
These professors were called his "brain trust．"
These ways we use the word "brain" all make sense．But other ways we use the
word are not so easy to understand．For example, to understand the next brain
expression, you first need to know the word “drain．" As a verb to drain means to,
remove something by letting it flow away．So a brain drain may sound like a disease
where the brain flows out the ears．But, brain drain is when a country's most educated people leave their countries to live in another．The brains are, sort of, draining out of the country．
However, if people are responsible for a great idea, you could say they brainstormed it．Here, brainstorm is not an act of weather．It is a process of thinking creatively about a complex topic．For example, business leaders may use brainstorming to create new
products, and government leaders may brainstorm to solve problems．
If people are brainwashed, it does not mean their brains are nice and clean．To brainwash means to make someone accept new beliefs by using repeated pressure in a forceful or tricky way．Keep in mind that brainwash is never used in a positive way．
【1】According to the text, if you're the CEO of Bai Du you can be called
A．the brains behind Bai Du
B．Bai Du's brain trust
C．the brain drain of Bai Du
D．the organ of Bai Du
【2】Why did Roosevelt successfully win the election?
A．Because he was smart at giving advice．
B．Because word experts were popular．
C．Because he got his brain trust．
D．Because he was the brains behind America．
【3】Which of the following expression is always used in a negative way?
A．Brain trust
B．Brain drain
C．Brainstorm
D．Brainwash
22、In Britain, it’s bottoms up from the week before Christmas till the last firework explodes in the sky announcing the new year. The last Friday before Christmas, popularly known as ‘Mad Friday’, is one of the busiest periods for the country’s pubs and clubs.
But it’s not just the bars that get busy. Ambulances and A&E departments around Britain get packed out too. Head injuries, cuts, falls…it’s easy to end up hurting yourself or others when self-control disappear and your head is spinning due to alcoho1 revelers have been warned by the health authorities about the dangers of deadly drinking but drinking crazily seems to be part of the festivities for some.
The charity Alcohol Concern is running a campaign of restriction by encouraging people to have a dry January.
Jackie Ballard, the charity’s Chief Executive, believes the campaign has been successful in recent years. She says, “More than two-thirds of people even six months later are drinking at reduced levels having had a month off drink. But also a study has shown the impact it has on people’s health reducing their blood pressure and blood sugar levels.”
The study by the University of Sussex followed up nearly 900 participants in Alcohol Concern’s Dry January campaign and found out that 72％of them had kept harmful drinking sessions down and 4％were still not drinking.
Moderation (适度) seems to be the key to everything. The official recommendation for women is not to regularly drink more than 2 to 3 units of alcohol a day. The limit for men is 3 to 4 units of alcohol — no more than a pint of 5.2％ABV lager, beer or cider.

23、These days, many gyms require clients to wear masks or face coverings. The good news: research suggests they don't actually hold up your performance.
Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan gathered a group of 7 men and 7 women, ranging from slightly inactive to excellent cyclists and tested the effects of wearing a three-layer cloth face mask, a surgical mask, and no mask on their exercise performance.
The study participants started with a brief warm-up on a fixed bike, then took a progressive intensity exercise test, during which it was vital for them to keep the same pedal rate while the resistance was continually increased until exhaustion (疲惫不堪). Something like the heart rate was recorded every 30 seconds.
The results suggested that wearing a mask had no effect on performance or muscle oxygen levels. Since there was no difference in time to exhaustion between conditions, the highest power reached at the end of each test was similar in mask and no-mask conditions for all participants, Professor Chilibeck explained. Researchers also did not see any effects of the masks during exercise on blood oxygen levels, which wouldn't decrease if breathing was not affected.
And while droplet (飞沫) spread was not measured, all masks used were tested in a previous study in which they were shown to effectively minimize droplet spread, according to Chilibeck. Though the participants represented a wide range of fitness levels, it's important to note that these tests were conducted on a very small sample size, and more research is needed on larger populations to draw sweeping conclusions about the general population.
【1】How did the researchers draw the conclusion?
A．By conducting an experiment.
B．By making brief analysis.
C．By observing normal cyclists.
D．By doing medical tests.
【2】What will happen if masks block your performance?
A．Your heart rate may keep stable.
B．You might produce less droplet.
C．Your blood oxygen levels will drop.
D．You will feel more tired than before.
【3】What is the author's attitude to the study?
A．Doubtful.
B．Favorable.
C．Disapproving.
D．Objective.
【4】Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A．Why Should We Train with Masks?
B．Why Don't Masks Worsen Our Performance?
C．Do Masks Affect Our Performance?
D．Can We Train While Wearing Masks?
24、It is reported that a record-breaking high-speed rail will connect Inner Mongolia in the north to Hainan in the south. According to the Shaanxi Development and Reform Commission, the proposed line will operate at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour(217 mph).
Beginning in Inner Mongolia's Baotou city and running through southern Shaanxi, Hubei, Hunan, Guangxi and Guangdong, its final stop would be in Haikou city on Hainan Island, China's southernmost province.
Though the exact length of the proposed route has not been released, it will likely become the world's longest high-speed rail line as the journey by road between Baotou and Haikou is approximately 3,000 kilometers(1,864 miles)long. Currently, the world's longest high-speed rail line is almost 2,300 kilometers long(1,429 miles),running from Beijing to Guangzhou.
The proposed rail is part of China's aim to create another “Silk Road of the 21st Century” and improve the country's transportation network while driving land development and urbanization(城市化)in some provincial areas.
Many of the provinces through which the high-speed trains will travel are near major bodies of water, such as the Yellow River in Inner Mongolia and Shaanxi province, the Yangtzi River in Hubei and the South China Sea, where the line would end. It will also take passengers to popular tourist attractions including Zhangjiajie, Xi'an, Guilin and minority areas in western Hunan and Hubei.
“The country is now shifting its focus and investing in the western regions and economically underdeveloped areas, making up for China's long debt to these areas,” Tan yuzhi, professor of the School of Economics and Management at Hubei University for Nationalities, told local media. “ The project will significantly narrow regional disparities(差异)and solve minority issues.”
However, Deng Hongbing, director of China University of Geosciences' Center for Regional Economic and Investment Center, said that if the north-to-south railway is to go ahead, there needs to be a sound ecological program in place to ensure the protection of these underdeveloped and ecologically sensitive areas.
【1】What is the passage mainly talking about?
A．China has decided to invest in the western areas.
B．Another high-speed train line is being planned.
C．The train will speed up to 350 kilometers per hour.
D．China has produced the best high-speed train line.
【2】How many provinces will the proposed line cross?
A．9
B．8
C．7
D．6
【3】Which statement of the following is true once the high-speed rail line is built?
A．it will be the most convenient high-speed rail line in China
B．it will benefit the underdeveloped areas a lot in the west
C．it will transport goods faster from north to south
D．it will do good to the environment alongside the line
【4】What is Tan Yuzhi's attitude towards the proposed project?
A．Favourable

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。
Mary tried to hold her breath. She moved away slightly, but Amy only moved closer and continued talking.
Mary thought to herself, “Why does she always have to sit next to me?” Amy didn’t seem to notice that Mary was trying to move away, and she leaned in closer. Mary wanted badly to tell Amy that she didn’t smell very good, but how could she without hurting her feelings?
When Mary got home from school, she complained to her mother. “There’s a girl named Amy who likes to sit next to me in school, but she smells bad. Nobody else likes to sit next to her, either.”
“Well, try to be nice to her,” said her mother. “Maybe she’s having a hard time at home. You never know what a person’s home life is like.”
For the rest of the week, Mary tried to be a good friend to Amy. There were times when they had fun talking and playing together, especially on the days when Amy bathed. But on the days when she smelled bad, Mary still found it very hard to be her friend.
One morning, while getting her hair combed for school, Mary brought the subject up again with her mother.
“I don’t want to be friends with Amy anymore,” she told her mother.
Her mother’s hands froze in midair. Mary turned to see what the matter was. Her mother looked upset. Mary wondered what she had said made her mother react this way.
“I don’t think you understand Amy’s situation, so let me ask you this…” Her mother’s tone was serious. “Who makes sure that your hair is combed every morning so you’ll look nice when you go to school? Who makes sure you’re bathed and cleaned every day? And your clothes are washed and neatly ironed?”
“You and Daddy,” answered Mary.
“Do you live in a happy family? Do you have a good Dad and Mum?” Then her mother encouraged her to learn more about Amy before she decided whether or not to be friends with Amy.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
