Atticus said to Jem one day, ―I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit them, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.‖ That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it. ―Your father’s right,‖ she said. ―Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.‖ 58. Who is telling the story? A. Tom Robinson. B. Francis Hancock. C. Scout Finch. D. Miss Maudie. 59. What did the children think of their father Atticus in the beginning? A. He was still energetic though he was nearly 50. B. He was willing to fight for his family. C. He was interested in nothing in his spare time. D. He was not manly or skilled. 60. What does the underlined word ―plimentary‖ in the 6th paragraph probably mean? A. Good remarks. B. Reasonable argument. C. Wrong judgment. D. Strong criticism. 61. Mockingbirds can be pared to people who are _______. A. able but modest B. intelligent and entertaining C. harmless and helpful D. disabled but devoted C As the nights get longer, those who suffer from the winter blues (冬季憂郁癥 ) will be planning ways to escape to the sunshine. But there may be a much simpler way of cheering yourself up—simply by shining a bright light into your ear canal. Up to one in four Britons suffers from seasonal affective disorder (SAD), with seven percent of the population having fullblown SAD. It is caused by the brain not receiving enough daylight which is needed to produce serotonin, a hormone (荷爾蒙 ) that controls moods. Symptoms range from being mildly sleepy to depression and insomnia (失眠癥 ), but a cure might be in sight. Two clinical experiments, run by Valkee who makes a device that can shine light into your ear and the University of Oulu in Finland, have found that carefully targeted light can help prevent the condition. Juuso Nissila, Valkee’s cofounder and chief scientists said, ―We presented earlier that the human brain is sensitive to light. These two clinical experiments show that channeling bright light via the ear canal into the brain’s photosensitive areas effectively prevents and treats seasonal affective disorder.‖ The University of Oulu reported that in their first study, 92 percent of the patients with seasonal affective disorder achieved full remission (緩解 ) after a month of daily 8 to 12 minutes’ doses (劑量 ) of light from Valkee. Timo Takala, chief physician at the Oulu Deaconess Institute said, ―These clinical experiments show that bright light channeled into the brain via the ear canal is an important future method of treating seasonal affective disorder.‖ Valkee launched its bright light headset in August 2021. It is classed as a medical device under EU regulations. The device channels bright light direct to the brain via the ear canal to prevent and cure depression, mood swings and even circadian rhythm (晝夜節(jié)律 ) disorders such as jet lag (時差感 ). It costs￡ 185 and looks like an iPod—only the earphones send out light rather than sound. Anyone wanting to copy the effects with a flashlight is likely to be disappointed, it emits the wrong kind of light that is apparently too yellow. 62. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs? A. Light as well as sound is essential for curing SAD. B. The number of Britons having SAD continues growing. C. There’s a long way to go for curing SAD thoroughly. D. Receiving enough daylight makes for a good mood. 63. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Shining a bright light into your ear canal is the only way to treat SAD. B. You might not suffer from jet lag if you wear a bright light headset. C. The device can help one to recover from all physical problems. D. A flashlight can work exactly as the bright light headset. 64. What can be the best title of the passage? A. The harmful effects caused by SAD. B. Shine a light in your ear—brighten your mood in winter. C. The most efficient way to prevent and cure SAD. D. Keep the sunshine in your heart—enjoy a colorful life. D If you read The Fault in Our Stars only to find a young adult romance of Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters, then you definitely underestimate the power of sophisticated symbolism, emotions, and literature John Green offers. I remember someone saying ―You don’t read a great book。 My mother has always been involved in earlychildhood education. She often set the scene for children to 36 the joy of physical activity, getting them excited and 37 to learn. Mum was so proud of me after I 38 the triathlon at the 2021 Olympics, but before the dust 39 , she grabbed me, saying: ―Now this is your 40 . Use it.‖ She wasn’t speaking from an economic point of view but talking about the 41 of my being a role model, encouraging kids to 42 their dreams. Since the Olympics, I have 43 more than 100 schools. I talk to the kids about ―living a life less 44 ,‖ a concept passed on to me by my parents—the idea of 45 being average. I tell them that what you believe, you will 46 . As I was a kid, my mother came
