Lying on the north-south axis (轴线) line-of Beijing City, Bell and Drum Towers were built in 1272 and rebuilt twice after two fires. In one period in history they were the time-telling center of the capital city during the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties (1271-1911).

Four “Fun Facts” That Are Complete Lies, But You Believe Them
No. 1 You can see the Great Wall of China from space
This seems right, doesn’t it? The Great Wall of China is huge, after all, and you can see large things from far away. But even from a low orbit, it’s pretty much invisible (看不见的) to the naked eye, and not exactly easy to pick out with an advanced camera lens. Strangely, this myth (谬论) existed before we even went into space, so it had the opportunity to become a “fact” before it could even be checked. There are many other man-made objects visible from space, but because the Great Wall is made from rocks gathered in the surrounding area, it doesn’t stand out against the landscape enough to be visible. How Stuff Works helpfully suggests that China could paint the wall in hot pink to fix the matter.
No. 2 Einstein failed at school
Einstein, the modem archetypal genius (天才), failing at school is a “fact” which serves as an encouragement to under-performing schoolchildren and is repeated by motivational speakers wanting to make some point about failure and success. It would be fairly comforting if true, but reality doesn’t tend to care about how comfortable you are. There are versions of this myth focusing on math, but in either case, it’s just not true. The myth seems to result from the fact that the grading system used in his school was changed the year after he left—from I being the highest mark to 6 being the highest. Einstein got 1s, but to anybody looking back at his grades, it would seem like that meant he’d failed.
No. 3 _____________________
Many people claim that if you wake someone when they’re sleepwalking, the shock of finding themselves not in bed will lead them to suffer a heart attack or otherwise do some serious damage. In actual fact, waking somebody who is sleepwalking does them no harm whatsoever. They might be a little confused. In fact, they could hurt themselves by continuing to sleepwalk freely, for obvious reasons. So, it’s better to guide a sleepwalker back to bed without waking, but if you do wake him, it won’t do any harm.
No. 4 Sharks don’t get cancer
This fact has gained acceptance despite having merely been invented as a reason for selling people shark cartilage pills as a cancer cure. Firstly, even if it was true that sharks didn’t get cancer, that wouldn’t mean that using a part of it was a cure or treatment for cancer. There were some initial positive results, but they were also gained with other animal cartilages and didn’t translate into a reliable treatment. In short, eating shade cartilage pills does nothing for cancer patients. And to pile more stupidity on top of it, sharks clearly do get cancer.
4．Why are we unable to see the Great Wall directly in space?
A．The colour of the rocks is not hot pink.
B．Advanced cameras are not employed.
C．It’s too small to stand out from far away.
D．The Great Wall is made from nearby rocks.
5．What does the underlined sentence in No. 2 mean?
A．Failure is the mother of success.
B．Reality has something to do with imagination.
C．Success and failure should be both experienced.
D．Assumption (设想) is one thing, but reality is another.
6．Which of the following may be the subtitle of No.3?
A．Sleepwalkers might be at a loss
B．Sleepwalkers might attack others
C．Waking sleepwalkers will harm them
D．Waking sleepwalkers is a good choice
7．Who are more likely to benefit from the lie “Sharks don’t get cancer”?
A．Drug sellers. B．Health advisers.
C．Cancer patients. D．Shark researchers.
Bullied (受欺凌的) kids face a high risk of mental health problems as teens and as young adults. Indeed, kids troubled by bullying may be worse off than those who had suffered physical abuse (虐待) or neglect, as the study found.
Until recently, most studies of child victims focused not on bullying but on maltreatment (虐待), Dieter Wolke says. Maltreatment includes physical or emotional abuse, neglect or other behaviors that can harm a child.
Wolke’s team wanted to better understand bullying’s long-term effects compared to those due to maltreatment. They focused on 4,026 children in the United Kingdom and 1,420 more in the United States. Information about bullying and maltreatment was collected for American children to age 13. They collected the same information for British youth up to age 16. The researchers also gathered data on each individuals’ mental health as a young adult.
Among the Americans, 36 percent of bullied kids had mental problems later. Those problems included anxiety, which is a state of excessive worry. They also included depression. That is a feeling of hopelessness that can last a long time. Among kids who had been maltreated by adults, 17 percent later suffered mental health problems. That was less than half the rate seen in people had been bullied as school kids.
In the U.K. group, the difference was less dramatic. Roughly 25 percent of the bullied kids reported mental health problems later, compared with about 17 percent who had been maltreated. But however you look at it, the findings are disturbing. And that’s why Wolke says schools, health services and other agencies must work together to end bullying.
Studies like this are important, says Corinna Jenkins Tucker. They bring attention to the lasting impacts of bullying. Tucker does, however, question the value of comparing bullying to other types of abuse. Such an approach can make it seem like one type of bad experience is worse than the other, she says. In fact, both types have short-term and long-term effects on health. She’d like to see researchers study the big picture. They should try to understand how all of these negative experiences together shape children—and sometimes harm them.
8．What can be interred from the passage?
A．Researchers should pay less attention to maltreatment
B．More bullied kids have mental problems in the USA
C．A similar number of children are maltreated in America and Britain
D．Either bullying or maltreatment has negative effects on children’s health
9．What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A．To advertise B．To inform
C．To compare D．To entertain
10．Where is the passage taken from?
A．A news section B．A science section
C．A culture section D．An entertainment section
11．What does Tucker think of Wolke’s study?
A．Disappointing B．Improvable C．Satisfactory D．Unreasonable
D
Las Vegas city in Nevada is built in a desert. The city may be known to the outside world for its partying. But officials have found that there are 21 square kilometers of useless grass. The grass is never laid on, played, on or even stepped on. The grass is only there to look nice.
Now, the city is asking the Nevada state legislature (立法机构) to ban useless grass. It is trying to become the first place in America to ban that kind of grass often seen between streets, in housing developments and in office parks.
It is estimated that useless grass makes up 40% of all the grass in Las Vegas and it needs a Lot of water to survive. Grass needs four times more water than dry climate plants like cactus. By tearing out the grass, the city could reduce yearly water usage by 15%.
In 2003, the Southern Nevada Water Authority banned developed from planting grass in front of new homes. It also offered homeowners $30 for each square meter of grass tear out. But fewer people are now using the program. Water usage has increased in southern Nevada by 9% since 2019. And last year, Las Vegas set a record of 240 days without major rainfall. The Colorado River provides much of Nevada’s drinking water. The river could lose more water as climate change affects it.
Water officials in other dry cities said water usage needs to be reduced. But they fear the reaction to reforms like the ones in Las Vegas if their communities do not accept them. Cynthia Campbell is the water resources adviser for the city of Phoenix in Arizona. “There might come a point when city restrictions get too severe (苛刻的) for some residents (居民). They’ll say that is the point of no return for them,” Campbell said. “For some people, it’s a pool. For some people, it’s grass.”
12．Why does Las Vegas city try to ban useless grass?
A．To protect the local people. B．To beautify the city.
C．To reduce water usage. D．To reduce waste.
13．What program was carried out in Las Vegas in 2003?
A．Allowing planting grass before new houses.
B．Encouraging the residents to tear out grass.
C．Praising those who signed on the program.
D．Awarding those who reduced water usage.
14．What is implied in Campbell’s words in the last paragraph?
A．Many residents won’t follow the ban.
B．Reaction to the reform will be different personally.
C．Other measures should be taken to protect wetter.
D．Water officials should take ninny factors into consideration.
15．Which or the following could be the best title for the text?
A．Las Vegas Plans to Han Useless Grass
B．A Method Is Adopted to Save Las Vegas
C．Choices between Beauty and Practice
D．Grass Is Important but Useless in Las Vegas

Studies like this are important, says Corinna Jenkins Tucker. They bring attention to the lasting impacts of bullying. Tucker does, however, question the value of comparing bullying to other types of abuse. Such an approach can make it seem like one type of bad experience is worse than the other, she says. In fact, both types have short-term and long-term effects on health. She’d like to see researchers study the big picture. They should try to understand how all of these negative experiences together shape children—and sometimes harm them.

Las Vegas city in Nevada is built in a desert. The city may be known to the outside world for its partying. But officials have found that there are 21 square kilometers of useless grass. The grass is never laid on, played, on or even stepped on. The grass is only there to look nice.
Now, the city is asking the Nevada state legislature (立法机构) to ban useless grass. It is trying to become the first place in America to ban that kind of grass often seen between streets, in housing developments and in office parks.
It is estimated that useless grass makes up 40% of all the grass in Las Vegas and it needs a Lot of water to survive. Grass needs four times more water than dry climate plants like cactus. By tearing out the grass, the city could reduce yearly water usage by 15%.
In 2003, the Southern Nevada Water Authority banned developed from planting grass in front of new homes. It also offered homeowners $30 for each square meter of grass tear out. But fewer people are now using the program. Water usage has increased in southern Nevada by 9% since 2019. And last year, Las Vegas set a record of 240 days without major rainfall. The Colorado River provides much of Nevada’s drinking water. The river could lose more water as climate change affects it.
Water officials in other dry cities said water usage needs to be reduced. But they fear the reaction to reforms like the ones in Las Vegas if their communities do not accept them. Cynthia Campbell is the water resources adviser for the city of Phoenix in Arizona. “There might come a point when city restrictions get too severe (苛刻的) for some residents (居民). They’ll say that is the point of no return for them,” Campbell said. “For some people, it’s a pool. For some people, it’s grass.”
12．Why does Las Vegas city try to ban useless grass?
A．To protect the local people. B．To beautify the city.
C．To reduce water usage. D．To reduce waste.
13．What program was carried out in Las Vegas in 2003?
A．Allowing planting grass before new houses.
B．Encouraging the residents to tear out grass.
C．Praising those who signed on the program.
D．Awarding those who reduced water usage.
14．What is implied in Campbell’s words in the last paragraph?
A．Many residents won’t follow the ban.
B．Reaction to the reform will be different personally.
C．Other measures should be taken to protect wetter.
D．Water officials should take ninny factors into consideration.
15．Which or the following could be the best title for the text?
A．Las Vegas Plans to Han Useless Grass
B．A Method Is Adopted to Save Las Vegas
C．Choices between Beauty and Practice
D．Grass Is Important but Useless in Las Vegas
