Silent films set up America's movie industry. But many of these films from the early 1900s no longer exist. A new project aims to represent the flavor of these movies by digitizing （数字化）old advertisements for them and publishing the materials online.

The idea for the project came from Chicago-based collector Dwight Cleveland, who was introduced to the silent movie advertisements, also called lobby （大厅）cards, as a high school student in the 1970s. He then fell in love with the colors, designs and other elements used in the movie cards. That enjoyable experience made him want to start his own collection. “It just sort of screamed out, 'Take me home!'" Cleveland said.

The cards were made to be placed inside the area outside theater entrances, also known as lobbies. The cards informed film-goers about what movies were currently playing as well as films that would arrive next. They advertised all that early Hollywood had to offer, including comedies, love stories and action movies.

About 90 percent of all silent films have been lost. One of the main reasons for this is that the chemicals used to make many of the early films broke down over time. "What that means is that these movie cards are the only proof that these films even existed, Cleveland said.

Cleveland has been sending examples from his personal collection to Dartmouth's Media Ecology Project, which is led by Mark William, a professor of film studies. When completed, it will become part of a large collection of rare and valuable elements relating to early and mostly lost American films.

William said the main goal of the project is to make the material available to early movie fans and scholars alike. He added that he believes publishing the collection will lead to a new interest in the silent film time.

24.         Why did Cleveland have the idea of collecting lobby cards?

A. To decorate his home.   B. To hold a card exhibition.

C. To design different advertisements.  D. To get pleasure from them.

25. What could the cards be used for?

A. Beautifying the theater lobby.           B. Recording various early films.

       C. Making movie information known.    D. Showing film-goers to their seats.

26. What is William's attitude towards the project?

       A. Confident. B. Cautious.       C. Doubtful.       D. Worried.

27. Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Lost Materials： Come to Life  B. Silent Movies： Disappear for Ever

C. Lobby Cards： Express Silent Films D. America Movies： Change with Time

Chinese elements are seen everywhere at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, from stadium construction and brand marketing to mascot manufacturing （制造）,providing strong support for the grand football event.

The golden-bowl shaped stadium is located 15 kilometers north of Doha, capital of Qatar. Serving as the largest sporting venue in Qatar, it hosts important matches. To make the football pitch （场地）and the audience area cooler and more comfortable, independent cooling stations were built outside the stadium, sending cool breezes into the stadium. Hassan Al Thawadi said the complex structure proves the great skills and service ability of Chinese firms, adding that those who watch the games in the venue should be grateful to Chinese engineers and constructors.

In 2020, Chinese manufacturer Yutong was selected to provide service vehicles for the Qatar World Cup. The company equipped its buses with a device that protects the motors from sand and mud, employed liquid-cooling power batteries and adopted an intelligent temperature control in the buses. It is reported that Qatar has imported 1,500 buses from China, including 888 electric ones to meet the transportation demand. It marked the first time for a major global sports event to use Chinese new energy buses in such large quantities.

In a desert 80 kilometers west of Doha, there is a vast photovoltaic （PV） power station with a total area equal to 1,400 standard football pitches. Built by the PowerChina Guizhou Engineering Co., Ltd., the 800 MW Al Kharsaah Solar Power Plant has over 2 million PV panels that are able to generate 1.8 billion kilowatt hours of clean electricity for Qatar each year. It can supply around 300,000 local households and mainly reduce 900,000 tons of CO2 emissions on an annual basis.

More Chinese elements can be seen both on and off the field in Qatar. The appearance of referees Ma Ning, Shi Xiang and Cao Yi marks the first time in the recent 20 years for Chinese referees to judge World Cup games.

28.   What can we learn about Hassan Al Thawadi from Paragraph 2?

A. He thinks much of Qatar’s climate. B. He knows the stadium’s function well.

C. He speaks highly of football watchers. D. He greatly praises Chinese contributions.

29.   What do we know about the Chinese Yutong buses?

A. They are cheap and comfortable. B. They are used in many fields.

C. They are provided with high technology. D. They are easy to make and operate.

30.   How is Paragraph 4 developed to introduce the PV power station?

A. By giving advice. B. By listing numbers.

C. By making comparison. D. By explaining reasons.

31.   What is the passage mainly about?

1.   Chinese elements shine at Qatar World Cup.
2.   Chinese goods become quite popular in Qatar.
3.   Chinese referees first judge World Cup games.
4.   Chinese companies make great efforts for Qatar.

D

Many diseases and medical conditions are caused by things out of our control. Yet experts say you can control and even prevent many of the risk factors that increase your chances of dying. So doctors urge us to eat healthy foods, get exercise, stop smoking and limit our alcohol intake. But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy — Smile!

Anand Chockalingam is a heart disease specialist at University of Missouri Health Care in Columbia, Missouri. He advises his patients to smile, "When we smile, the brain wiring gets influenced. The chemicals that are released are more positive." He says smiling is a first step in fighting physical and emotional stress. This is not just New Age advice. Several studies are in favor of Dr. Chockaligam’s prescription （处方）to smile more.

The main cause of heart attacks and strokes are blockages in blood vessels （血管）.These prevent blood from flowing to the heart or the brain. The most common reason for these blockages is a build-up of fatty deposits on the inner walls of the arteries.

When you feel stressed or under pressure, your body releases many natural hormones （激素） including adrenaline and cortisol. Adrenaline increases your heart rate and blood pressure. Cortisol is the body's main stress hormone. It increases sugar in the bloodstream. If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you. They are part of what we call our fight-or-flight response.

However, when stressed for a long period, these stress hormones are ever-present in our bodies. And that, medical researchers warn, may lead to health problems.

Dr. Chockalingam says a smile may be one way to help. He tells his patients to smile 20 times an hour. To some, that might seem like a lot of smiling. Or some might even feel foolish ... smiling for seemingly no reason. But a smile does not involve drugs or operations. It is free and it has no bad side effects.

“Once people smile, they are relaxing. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, and improves sugar levels in the blood. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health,” And it just may provide a little extra protection to everyone's heart health.

32. What does the writer want to highlight in Paragraph 1?

A. Taking more exercise. B. Smiling more.

C. Avoiding smoking and alcohol. D. Controlling illness and death.

33. Why is Anand Chockalingam mentioned?

A. To show his talent. B. To support a conclusion.

C. To describe several new studies. D. To analyze his patients9 prescriptions.

34. What does the underlined word "these” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

The pleasures of learning

Learning is a natural pleasure, inborn and instinctive （本能的）,one of the essential pleasures of the human race. When Archimedes discovered the principle of specific gravity by observing his own displacement of water in a bathtub （浴缸）,he jumped out with delight, shouting, ^Eureka, Eureka!" （I have found it）. 36

This pleasure is not limited to learning from textbooks, which are too often boring. 37 By opening a book, one can connect with a voice for distant in time and space, and hear it speaking, mind to mind, heart to heart. As for reading books, this contains two different delights. One is the pleasure of understanding the unexpected, such as when one meets a new author who has a new vision of the world. 38

Far beyond books, learning means keeping the mind open and active to receive all kinds of experiences. Among the pleasures of learning, we should include travel, travel with an open mind, an alert eye and a wish to understand other peoples, other places, rather than looking in them for a mirror image of oneself.

39            Every new art you learn appears like a new window on the universe, which helps you acquire a new sense. Crafts, too, are well worth exploring. Most crafts contain one essential pleasure, the pleasure of making something that will last.

40            Instead of decreasing, in time, like health and strength, its returns go on increasing, provided that you aim throughout your life, as you continue learning, to integrate （整合）your thoughts, to make it harmonious.

1.    But it does include learning from books.
2.    Learning extends our lives into new dimensions （维度）.
3.    This shout means Archimedes enjoyed playing with water.
4.    The other pleasure is of deepening one's knowledge of a special field.
5.    Learning also means learning to practice, or at least to appreciate an art.
6.   Man has the ability to attain happiness, and learning is the best way to achieve it.
7.    The outburst from instinct and the joy of its satisfaction are possessed by all people.
