22、If you were suffering from depression, you would turn to sugary holiday desserts, which were usually considered to help people feel relieved. However, if now you are in the same situation, you will only say “bah humbug” to them for indeed it’s absolutely absurd.

Recently, a new study from a team of clinical psychologists at the University of Kansas suggests that added sugar can cause inflammation (发炎) and processes of metabolism and nerve system, all of which are tied to depressive illness. Coupled with decreasing light in wintertime and related changes in sleep patterns, high sugar consumption could result in negative effects on mental health, according to the researchers.

The researchers found that inflammation is the key physiological effect of dietary sugar related to mental health. “A large number of people with depression have high levels of systemic inflammation,” said Stephen Ilardi, a coauthor of the study. “When we think about inflammatory disease, we think about diabetes, a disease with a high level of systemic inflammation. We don’t normally think about depression included in that, but it is — not for everyone who’s depressed, but for about half. We also know that inflammatory hormones can direly push the brain into a severe depression. An inflamed brain is typically a depressed brain. And added sugars cause inflammation to the body and brain.”

The problem is worse this time of year. “For many people, reduced sunlight exposure during the winter will disturb biological rhythms, disrupting healthy sleep and pushing 5 to 10 percent of the population into a fully clinical depression,” Ilardi says.

【1】What kind of emotion do the underlined words “bah humbug” express in Paragraph 1?

A．Envy.

B．Satisfaction.

C．Preference.

D．Dislike.

【2】Which factor may cause harm to mental heath according to the text?

A．Great varieties of clinical diseases.

B．No intake of dietary sugar.

C．Some anxieties in sleep patterns.

D．High sugar with less sunlight.

【3】Why does the author mention the words of Stephen Ilardi?

A．To introduce more about the coauthor of the study.

B．To support his idea that dietary sugar results in depression.

C．To draw a conclusion that inflammatory disease can cause diabetes.

D．To give more details about the possible results of mental depression.

【4】What does the text mainly talk about?

A．The importance of mental health.

B．The damage to mental health from sugar.

C．The sugar treatment for depression.

D．The number of people with depression.

23、   Constructed in the third century BC, the Terracotta Army is a collection of clay sculptures presenting the forces of the First Emperor of China- Qin Shi Huang. The figures include more than 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses. Their varying clothes, facial features and body types have long impressed people. But historian Dan Snow says, “The amazing realism increases the great mystery surrounding these terracotta figures, where do they come from? They are nothing like any figure made in China before them, something changed. Something remarkable happened here 2,200 years ago."

Mr Snow explains historians have long believed Ancient China remained separated from the rest of the world. But the Terracotta Army could disprove that theory.

The time of the First Emperor was around 220BC. When, on the eastern edge of the Eurasian（欧亚的）landmass, was the Chinese worlds with competing mini-states over there. Over on the west of Eurasia, the Roman Empire started to expand over here and Greece was a great power,

"What's going on artistically in the East and West is very different in the third century BC. The classic Greek art is easy to recognize, with the absolute high watermark of artistic expression, beautiful—metre-and-a-half tall, human in its look. But in the Chinese world, you've got just 10cm tall, far more basic." says Mr Snow. He continues, "Then something changes, in fact, everything changes—there's a revolution. Suddenly, in 220BC you get the Terracotta Army lightyears ahead of what's gone before. It starts to look far less like before and far more like what's going on in the western world, both life-size, both lifelike, both attempts at realism."

This couldn't be more important, because it's always been assumed that China developed in isolation（隔离）. But if that's not the case, if the First Emperor of China imported western ideas and techniques to create his extraordinary arts, that forces us to completely rewrite the history books.

【1】What confused Dan Snow about the Terracotta Army?

A.Why Qin Shi Huang ordered to create them.

B.Who instructed ancient people to create them.

C.Why their design was different from previous time.

D.What kind of clothes ancient people preferred to wear.

【2】What do most historians think of Ancient China?

A.It was closed to the outside world.

B.Many mini-states coexisted peacefully.

C.Building army of sculptures was very common then.

D.It built a good relationship with the rest of the world.

【3】What can we infer about the clay sculptures in Ancient China before 220BC?

A.They were in small size.

B.Their styles changed greatly.

C.Their facial expressions seemed real.

D.They looked similar to the Greek ones.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.The Development of Chinese Art

B.Westerners Found in Ancient China

C.The Discovery of China's Terracotta Army

D.Historians Reconsidering the Remote Past of China

24、While Finland frequently tops international school rankings, Norway, the richest country in North Europe, performs much worse. 【1】 She is a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Oslo. She found that education policies in Norway are controlled by politics while Finland leaves the development of education policies to researchers and educators.

Compared to students from other highly developed countries, Norwegian students have underperformed in science subjects for years. 【2】 But in Norway, the policy changes are governed by politicians. For example, politicians decide that how much time should be spent on math per semester.

Afdal also found that although education experts are involved in policy changes as advisors, the politicians are in charge. That was obvious in the most recent educational reform in Norway: It has been closely governed by politicians. 【3】

The most recent educational reform in Finland was undertaken in a nearly opposite way. Academic faculties from every university selected their own representatives. They together were responsible for policy changes. 【4】 The role of educators in this process suggests a strong sense of trust in the Finnish professional environment.

【5】 The answer may not be certain. According to Afdal, mending the education system can't be done overnight and simply copying Finland's way will be difficult. "Education policies reflect historical and cultural structures in society, "she said. "I think it's very important that educators and researchers in Norway should be given more room to develop what Norwegian education should be like.”

A．Recently, Afdal looked at the differences between Finland and Norway.

B．The education policies of the two countries are very similar.

C．The Minister has had a very firm control on the reform.

D．The Ministry simply monitored the process.

E．This has resulted in several educational reforms.

F．Is Norwegian education system a failure?

G．Can Finland's success be copied?
