12. A famous actor in a highly successful play was once cast in the role of an aristocrat(贵族)who had been imprisoned in the Bastille for twenty years. In the last act, a gaoler(狱卒) would always come on to the stage with a letter which he would hand to the prisoner. Even though the aristocrat was expected to read the letter at each performance, he always insisted that it should be written out in full.
One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke on his colleague to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the contents of the letter by heart. The curtain went up the final act of the play and revealed the aristocrat sitting alone behind bars in his dark cell. Just then, the gaoler appeared with the precious letter in his hands.
He entered the cell and presented the letter to the aristocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in full as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on eagerly, anxious to see if his fellow actor had at last learnt his lines. The aristocrat stared at the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds. Then, squinting his eyes, he said, “The light is dim(昏暗的). Read the letter to me.” And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler. Finding that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied, “The light is indeed dim, sir, I must get my glasses.” With this, he hurried off the stage. Much to the aristocrat’s amusement, the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the usual copy of the letter, with which he proceeded to read to the prisoner.

13. Two “stolen” notebooks, Notebooks B and C, written by Charles Darwin have been mysteriously returned to Cambridge University on March 9th, 22 years after they were last seen, but who returned them is a real whodunit. They were left anonymously(匿名地) in a bright pink gift bag containing the original blue box the notebooks were kept in and a plain brown envelope, on which was printed a short message: “Librarian, Happy Easter X.”
With an action plan to use advanced information technology to preserve important culture heritage, the notebooks were originally removed from the Special Collections Strong Rooms — where the rarest and most valuable items are kept — for photography to take place at the library in September 2000, with the photography request completed in November 2000. During a following routine check in January 2001, it was found that the small box containing the two notebooks had not been returned to its proper place.
For many years, previous university librarians believed that the notebooks had been misplaced in the vast storerooms and collections of Cambridge University Library. Despite a number of searches over the years, they remained undiscovered. At the start of 2020, a new search — the largest in the library’s history – was arranged by the librarian Dr Gardner involving specialist staff assigned to search specific zones of the library’s storage facilities. H owever, this failed to locate the notebooks, leading to the conclusion, with the help of national experts in cultural heritage theft and recovery, that they had likely been stolen.
In July 1837, Charles Darwin wrote at the top of the page of one of his notebooks, “I think”. Then he drew a sketch(草图)of a tree, attempting to pose to himself the question about what is the origin of species. More than 20 years later, Darwin published On the Origin of Species. Notebooks B and C provide an extraordinary insight into Darwin’s search for the solution to what public in those days had called “that mystery of mysteries”, the origin of new species.
1. What can we learn from the passage?
A．Notebooks B and C used to be kept in a plain brown envelope.
B．It took over 3 months to complete the photography in the library.
C．At first the librarians believed the notebooks hadn’t been stolen.
D．Charles Darwin searched the origin of trees in his notebooks.
2. Why were Notebooks B and C taken away from their original place?
A．They were no longer regarded as the rarest and most valuable items.
B．They had to make room for the photography of special collections.
C．They would be presented for a photography exhibition in the library.
D．They needed to be recorded by taking photos for better preservation.
3. When did the library confirm the theft of the notebooks?
A．After completing the photography.
B．After routine check in January 2001.
C．After the largest search in history.
D．After discovering the returned notebooks.
4. Which is this passage most likely taken from?
A．A textbook. B．A newspaper.
C．A science report. D．An introduction to a book.
14. There have been precious few positives during the Covid pandemic but British academics may have unearthed one: people look more attractive in protective masks.
Researchers at Cardiff University were surprised to find that both men and women were judged to look better with a face mask covering the lower half of their faces. In what may be a blow for producers of fashionable coverings and the industry, they also discovered that a face covered with a single-use surgical(外科的) mask was likely to be deemed the most appealing.
Dr Michael Lewis, an expert in faces, said research carried out before the pandemic had found that medical face masks reduced attractiveness because they were associated with disease or illness. “We wanted to test whether this had changed since face coverings became common and understand whether th e type of mask had any effect,” he said.
The first part of the research was carried out in February 2021 by which time the British population had become used to wearing masks in some circumstances. Forty-three women were asked to rate on a scale of 1 to 10 the attractiveness of images of male faces. The participants said those wearing a cloth mask were significantly more attractive than the ones with no masks or whose faces were partly covered by a book. But the surgical mask — which was just a normal, disposable kind —made the wearer look even better. “The results run counter to the pre-pandemic research where it
was thought masks made people think about disease and the person should be avoided,” said Lewis. Lewis said it was also possible that masks made people more attractive because they directed attention to the eyes. He said other studies had found that covering the left or right half of a face also made people look more attractive, partly because the brain fills in the missing gaps and exaggerates(夸大) the overall impact.
A second study has been carried out, in which a group of men look at women in masks; it has yet to be published but Lewis said the results were broadly the same.
1. Why is the finding a blow for producers of fashionable coverings?
A．It takes even more money for producers to make fashionable masks.
B．Surgical masks outperform fashionable ones in making wearers attractive.
C．It does great harm to the environment to produce fashionable masks.
D．Both men and women look better with half of their faces covered.
2. What did the pre-pandemic research find?
A．People look more attractive with protective masks.
B．People look better with the lower half of their faces covered.
C．People look less appealing without masks.
D．People look less attractive with medical face masks.
3. Which word best describes British attitude towards wearing masks in February 2021?
A．Confused. B．Doubtful C．Acceptable D．Unacceptable 4. Which would probably make a woman wearer most appealing according to the last paragraph?
A．A cloth mask covering the left or right half of a face.
B．A surgical mask with the upper half of a face covered.
C．A book covering the area which a face mask would hide.
D．A medical face mask covering the lower half of a face.
15. 5 Essential Steps to Cram (突击准备) for a Test Without Losing Your Mind
Social media is electronic ADHD (注意力不集中症). 1 . Furthermore, your idol won’t tweet anything in the next 50 minutes to improve your maths grade. Facebook, Twitter, etc., are great, but take a break to cram for exams.
2 . We recommend a 50/10 split: 50 minutes studying, 10 minutes of anything else. On your break, exercise, or sing, or dance, or sit still. You pick. Then get back to work. Setting a timer will help you find the rhythm (节奏).
Remember, you are cramming at this point. Any learning here has a limited shelf-life, so stick to the basics. 3 . Those are the things that are most likely to be on the test, so focus your energy there. Look for headings, key people, dates, equations, vocab words, and explanations of major ideas. Filter the rest.
Talk to yourself. Every big idea you read, talk it out. Explain things to yourself. Make lots of hand motions. Pace if it helps. Emphasize words with a funny accent. The crazier you look, the better. No, crazy people don’t remember more. 4 .
Whether your teacher gave you a study guide or not, you need to make your own to cram for an exam. This is undoubtedly the best method to study for an exam. After just making the guide by yourself, 80% of your work will be done. 5 . Only you have to be able to read it.
