If you’re in an area with poor air quality levels, or if an infectious illness has been going around, wearing an

Why to choose N95 face mask
N95 face masks are a great choice for protecting your lungs from dry particles（颗粒） in the air, which could

doesn’t slip on your face.
Store your masks correctly
Face masks tend to have large market in demand and sell out fast during certain times, such as during an

B
For some years，my mother worked for a charity as President and Secretary. Selling raffle tickets(兑奖券) was
her main means of bringing in the charity’s muchneeded funds. We girls would accompany her，selling tickets
with great success. My father made and donated beautiful wooden toys，jewelry boxes and other lovely items as
prizes.
Now my sister was always coming up with “good ideas”，most of which didn’t work out to plan. But that
didn’t deter her. She had many just waiting to be tested. When she was eight and I was just five，we had a
wonderful idea for a business adventure. We decided we would sell raffle tickets for charity，and that charity was
us!
So one afternoon，we told our mother we were going to play in the park with our cousins as we did most days
after school. But instead，we walked around the streets armed with a raffle book，a pen and a large cloth bag to
carry the money.We’d accompanied our mother many times when she sold tickets，so people were familiar with us when we
appeared at their doors. Despite the blank looks they received when asking about the prizes on offer，they were
very generous. Although there were no actual prizes，our mother’s previous track record enabled us to sell nearly
the whole book of raffle tickets.
Like a little pair of lottery(彩票) winners，we walked home and proudly showed off our takings. But our
enjoyment of this sudden wealth was shortlived，and our plans for spending it quickly failed. Our angry mother
took us back to every ticket buyer ， making us apologize and give the money back. Thankfully ， our sweet
neighbors didn’t make a big deal of our “clever” misbehavior and thus my mother’s fundraising career could
continue safely. We were taught a good lesson by our mother that day. Also I remember my sister’s
entrepreneurial(企业家的) spirit dried up a bit after that.
24. What did the author’s father do?
A．He got prizes ready. B．He sold handmade items.
C．He was in charge of a charity. D．He helped design raffle tickets.
25. What does the underlined word “deter” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Embarrass. B．Shock. C．Discourage. D．Mislead.
26. What can be learned about the author and her sister while selling raffle tickets?
A．They ran into their mother.
B．They met some generous strangers.
C．They got lost while walking around the streets.
D．They took advantage of people’s trust in their mother.
27．What lesson did the author and her sister learn?
A．Honesty is the best policy. B．What’s done can’t be undone.
C．Misfortune never comes alone. D．Good advice is beyond all price.
C
Barcelona’s famous Segrada Familia is finally set to get a building license to work on the still uncompleted
church.
This UNESCO World Heritage basilica(长方形基督教堂)，which is Barcelona’s most visited tourist attraction，
began building in 1882 based on a design by architect Francisco Lozano. However，when he stepped down，
architect Antoni Gaudi took over the design in 1883.The building won’t be finished until 2026—one hundred
years after the architect was killed by a streetcar in the city. His body was buried in a room under the floor of the
Sagrada Familia.
To get its paperwork rubber stamped，the church authorities have agreed to finally pay the government a 36
million fee for a building permit. Gaudi was told to get the paperwork processed，but the architect failed to do
so—proceeding with construction. The money from the church’s permit will be used to upgrade transport links
and beautify the area.
Gaudi played an active role in directing the construction of the Sagrada Familia until his death in 1926.He
would often request that work be modified and adjusted until it was exactly what he had in mind. However,
interpretation of the designs by present day architects is particularly challenging because of the nature of the
existing designs.
Gaudi and his works have become symbols of Barcelona，the capital city of Catalonia，northeast Spain. The
unfinished building is called a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and it is perhaps the most unique and
mysterious building in the style ever constructed. The popularity of the site with tourists has helped fund the push
to complete the church and pay for the paperwork.
28．What do we know about the Segrada Familia?
A．It has been completely constructed. B．It was first designed by Antoni Gaudi.
C．It will get a building permit in 2026. D．It began to be built 138 years ago.
29．What can we infer about Antoni Gaudi?
A．He wished to be buried in the church. B．He is remembered as a great architect.
C．He didn’t know a permit was necessary. D．He is to blame for the unfinished church.
30．What makes the Segrada Familia so popular?
A．Its unusual design style. B．Its two famous architects.
C．Its special building materials. D．Its illegal construction paperwork.
31．The church managed to pay for the license _________.
A．in the support of the government B．by reducing construction costs
C．with the aid of tourist income D．through donations from architects
D
Daniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it’s important to distinguish television’s influence on
children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.
One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world.
While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images. Instead, they learn both explicit (明确的)
and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV
shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them,
explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in
front of the set and do something in another room.
Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to
Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. Tv doesn’t take place of
reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and
playing sports. Things like parents’ educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading. “A
child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says.
Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lower IQ scores and affects school performance.
But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way
around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower
IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.
For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing
that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that
television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.
32.By watching TV, children learn _________.
A. images through words B. more than explicit meanings
C. more about images than words D. little about people’s psychology
33. An educational problem is best watched by a child _______
A. on his own B. with other kids
C. with his parents D. with his teachers
34.Which of the following is most related to children’s reading ability?
A. Radio-listening B. Television-watching
C. Parents’ reading list D. Parents’ educational background
35.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To advise on the educational use of TV
B. To describe TV’s harmful effects on children
C. To explain traditional views on TV influences
D. To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It affects one in six people in England each week. That’s the rate of people who report experiencing a
common mental health problem，such as depression. Whether temporarily down or depressed，many rely on
antidepressants(抗抑郁药) to lift their mood. But they have a cost—one exuser said that they felt they were in a
“chemical fog” and were desperate to stop. 36._____ what alternatives are there when you’re feeling truly blue?
37.______Sarah，who had been taking antidepressants since the age of 17，is now off all medication and
swimming—something that may be an effective treatment for depression. Apart from the exercise and
companionship of swimmers，the cold water puts the body under stress. With repeated immersions(沉浸)，the
body better adapts not just to this physical stress，but mental stress，including the psychological problems of life
that lead to low spirits.
Susan Calman relies on kindness to brighten her mood. The 43yearold comedian and author encourages
others to use kindness to improve the lives of those around them. “It can be as simple as holding open a door for
someone，or giving someone praise，or buying someone a packet of crisps while they’re feeling down，” she says.

Dear Tom，
I am excited to tell you that the first Science and Technology Festival was held in our school last month，which is
aimed at enriching us students’ school life and promoting their awareness of innovation.
There were a variety of activities in the festival ， which included competition for makers. It encouraged
participants to show their designs and products. Besides, an exhibition of the students’ original tech-inventions was
heatedly attended，which owned innovative designs and even sci-fi works. With the enthusiastic participation and
support of all the students，the activity turned out a great success. I was astonished at the schoolmates’ creativity and
myteamwork spirits.
I do hope more activities will be held in my school to practice our critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
Yours，
