26、 Many college students turn to ADHD(注意缺陷障碍) medicine during exam week, which is regarded as “smart drugs” that will help their academic(学术的) performance. The thinking is that if the drugs help students with ADHD improve their focus, they should provide the same benefit for people who don’t have the disorder.
But a new study shows that drugs can actually damage brain function of healthy students who take the drug hoping to boost their intelligence. “It’s not a smart drug which suddenly improve their ability to understand information they read,” said Lisa Weyandt, a professor at the University of Rhode Island.
To test whether this effect is real or not, researchers organized 13 students to take part in two five-hour study sessions(一段时间) in the lab. The students took the standard 30mg ADHD drugs before one session, and a sugar pill before the other. Students on ADHD drugs did experience an increase in their blood pressure and heart rates. “The medicine was having an effect on their brain,” Weyandt said. The students also showed an improvement in their ability to focus, the researchers found.
However, students on ADHD drugs experienced no improvement in reading comprehension, reading fluency or knowledge reviews, compared to when they’d taken a sugar pill. “We read aloud stories to them and asked them to recall information from the stories,” she said. “That didn’t improve.”
Worse, the ADHD drug actually harms students’ memory. It’s often misused because people pull all-nighters and they’re tired, and they think it’s going to keep them awake. Maybe it does, but it’s certainly not going to help their academic work. The brain is still developing until the mid to late 20s. It’s important to keep it healthy. There’s also a chance that ADHD drugs could endanger a student’s heart health.
【1】Why do some college students take ADHD drugs?
A.To improve their sleeping. B.To get higher marks.
C.To make them feel relaxed. D.To treat brain disorder.
【2】Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “boost” in Paragragh 2?

【3】What effect did ADHD drugs have on the students in the experiment?

B.Their blood pressure was reduced.
C.Their reading fluency was greatly raised.
D.They could remember better and more quickly.
【4】Where can we read this text?
A.In a drug instruction. B.In a textbook.

27、 Many cosplay activities are being organized in China, making the subculture popular among some youths. Cosplay means costume play, in which participants wear costumes and fashion accessories (配饰) to represent a specific character.
What’s the reason why youths are interested in cosplay? 【1】 Cosplay participants often interact with each other to dress up as characters from animes (动漫), cartoons, comic books, films, TV programs and video games. Youths who love cosplay have their own sets of jokes, which “outsiders” rarely understand. 【2】
Cosplayers are almost always young, most of them under 25, and as they grow older, they tend to give up the practice. 【3】 Instead, they should treat such youngsters as normal youths, but at the same time warn them never to cross the social and moral boundaries.
The cosplay subculture is a kind of performing arts. Cosplayers usually get the costumes in these ways. First, through some companies that make and sell packaged suits for cosplay. Second, through some individuals that make costumes and accessories. 【4】
With capital flowing into the ACG (二次元) industry, more specific and mature business models help the industry develop further. 【5】 Since then the domestic animation and game industry has been developing healthily with a stronger sense of using legal products. China’s ACG industry is likely to see higher growth in 2019.
A. Based on a research, 2015 proved to be a turning point.
B. The cosplay industry is expected to witness more success.
C. Therefore, there is no need for parents to overreact to cosplay.
D. So regulators should strictly monitor such events to prevent improper behaviors.
E. And besides, by making them themselves.
F. That’s because it’s a way for youths to express virtual love.
G. Perhaps that’s why some people dislike them.
28、The sun is going to expand into the orbit of Mercury according to scientific calculations, which will result in the entire Earth catching on fire. Who will save the world?
This imaginative tale is at the heart of the latest Chinese sci-fi movie The Wandering Earth. Unlike many American space-themed films where the solution to a disaster Earth faces is always fleeing (逃离) the planet in spaceships, this time we’re taking the Earth with us. The film, which has made it the country's most successful film of all time, has offered a different and more ambitious idea.
The “ambition” didn’t come from nowhere. For thousands of years, “homeland” has had a soft spot in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old idiom that shows a strong feeling that Chinese people have had for their homeland is “luoyeguigen”, which means returning to one’s homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree.
“What is Chinese sci-fi?” Guo Fan, the film’s director, said in an interview. “A vehicle that really expresses our cultural and spiritual core ( 核 心 ) can be called Chinese sci-fi. Otherwise, we’re just following others and telling the same Hollywood stories.”
And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci-fi story. The film was released on Feb 5, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns. So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story: Earth goes wherever humans go, because it’s our home.
【1】The main purpose of the opening paragraph is to .
A．give a brief account of the film
B．warn people of the coming threat
C．explore ways to avoid the disaster
D．introduce the topic of the passage
【2】The underlined phrase “a different and more ambitious idea” refers to .
A．fleeing the Earth in spaceships
B．bringing in huge success
C．filling the gap in Chinese sci-fi movies
D．helping Earth make its escape
【3】Which of the following is unlikely to account for the success of the film?
A．The rich imagination of the story.
B．Hollywood-style space stories.
C．The special cultural background.
D．The time chosen to release the film.
【4】What is likely to be title for the passage?
A．Chinese Sci-fi Catches Up
B．The Most Successful Chinese Sci-fi
C．Chinese Sci-fi Sets a New Path
D．Chinese Sci-fi Challenges Hollywood
29、Can You Trust Your Brain?
Your brain lies to you a lot. We’re sorry to have to tell you this but it’s true. Even when your brain is doing important and difficult stuff, you’re not aware of most of what’s going on.
Your brain doesn’t intend to lie to you, of course. For the most part, it’s doing a great job, working hard to help you survive and achieve your goals in a complicated world. Because you often have to react quickly to emergencies and opportunities, your brain usually tries to get a simple answer in a hurry rather than a prefect answer that takes time to work out. But as the world is not simple, this means that your brain has to take shortcuts and make a lot of assumptions. 【1】
The problem start when the brain takes in information from the world through the senses. Even if you are sitting quietly in a room, your brain receives far more information than it can hold on to or than you need to decide how to act. You may be aware of the detailed pattern of colours in the rug, the photographs on the wall and the sounds of birds outside. 【2】 Usually these things aren’t important so we don’t often notice how much information we lose.
When people look at complicated pictures, they can identify differences if the images remain still. But if the image moves quickly, then they have a lot more trouble. 【3】 To test this, psychologists have tried more interesting ways of getting people to fail to notice things. In one of our favorites, a researcher approaches someone on the street and asks for directions. While the person is replying, workmen carry a large door between the two people, blocking their view of each other. Behind the cover of the door, the person who asked for directions is replaced by another researcher who carries on the conversation as if nothing had happened. Even when the second person looks very different from the first, the person giving the directions has only about a fifty per cent chance of noticing the change. 【4】
A.Your brain’s lies are in your best interest—most of the time—but they also lead to predictable mistakes.
B.This is because we imagine that we remember more details than we really can.
C.The experiments illustrate that you perceive only a little bit of what’s going on in the world.
D.Your brain selectively processes details that are important for you to notice.
E.Your brain perceives many other aspects of the scene initially but quickly forgets them.
F.This happens because our visual memory isn’t very good.
