Fiorello LaGuardia was mayor of New York City during the worst days of the Great Depression and all of World War Ⅱ. He was called by New Yorkers “the Little Flower” because he was short and always wore a carnation（康乃馨）. He was a colorful character who used to ride the New York City fire trucks, raid （突袭）places that were illegal to make and sell alcohol with the police department, take homeless children to baseball games, and whenever the New York newspapers were on strike, he would go on the radio and read the Sunday funnies to the kids.
One bitterly cold night in January of 1935, the mayor turned up at a night court that served the poorest district of the city. LaGuardia dismissed the judge for the evening and took over the bench himself. Within a few minutes, an old woman was brought before him, charged with stealing a loaf of bread. She told LaGuardia her daughter’ s husband had deserted her, that her daughter was sick, and that her two grandchildren were starving. But the shopkeeper, from whom the bread was stolen, refused to drop the charges. “It’ s a bad neighborhood, Your Honor,” the man told the mayor. “She’ s got to be punished to teach other people around here a lesson.”
LaGuardia sighed. He turned to the woman and said, “I’ ve got to punish you. The law makes no exceptions—ten dollars or ten days in jail.” But even as he pronounced sentence, the mayor reached into his pocket. He took out a bill and said, “Here is the ten-dollar fine which I now pay for the defendant（被告）; and furthermore, I am going to fine everyone in this courtroom fifty cents for living in a town where a person has to steal bread so that her grandchildren can eat. Mr. Bailiff, collect the fines to the defendant.”
So the following day the New York City newspaper reported that $47.50 was turned over to an old woman who had stolen a loaf of bread.
24. What can we know about Fiorello LaGuardia from paragraph one?
A. He was interested in planting carnations.

D. He was popular for his unique dressing style.
25. Why did the old woman steal the bread?

C. To punish the cruel shopkeeper. D. To feed her grandchildren.
26. What was the shopkeeper’s excuse for insisting on the charges?
A. To show the mayor the danger of theft.
B. To prevent similar things from happening.
C. To make people understand the spirit of law.
D. To punish the old woman’ s family indirectly.

Insects could disappear within a century at current rate of decline, says Global Review.
The world’ s insects are moving quickly down the path to dying out, indicating a disastrous collapse（崩溃）of nature’ s ecosystems is likely to happen, according to the first global scientific review. More than 40% of insect species are declining and a third are endangered, the analysis found. The rate of extinction（灭绝）is eight times faster than that of mammals, birds and reptiles.
“It should be of huge concern to all of us, for insects are at the heart of every food web—they pollinate the large majority of plant species, keep the soil healthy, recycle nutrients, control pests, and much more. Love them or hate them, we humans cannot survive without insects,” said Prof Dave Goulson at the University of Sussex in the UK.
The analysis, published in the journal Biological Conservation, says intensive agriculture is the main driver of the declines, particularly the heavy use of pesticides（杀虫剂）. Urbanisation and climate change are also significant factors.
One of the biggest impacts of insect loss is on the many birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish that eat insects. A small number of adaptable species are increasing in number, but not nearly enough to outweigh the big losses.
Matt Shardlow, at the conservation charity Buglife, said, “It is alarming to see this collation of evidence that shows the state of the world’ s insect populations. It is increasingly obvious that the planet’ s ecology is breaking and there is a need for an intense and global effort to stop and reverse（反转）these terrible trends.”
28. What did Prof Dave stress in his speech?
A. Insects are vital to food webs.
B. Not all people love insects.
C. Scientists are concerned about insect loss.
D. Humans need certain conditions for survival.
29. Which of the following is most influenced by insect loss?
A. Animals that feed on insects.
B. Adaptable animal species.
C. Pests that are used to pesticides.
D. Crops produced by intensive agriculture.
30. How did Matt Shardlow sound when talking about the state of insect loss?
A. Relaxed. B. Uncaring. C. Humorous. D. Worried.
31, What is the best title for the text?
A. The extinction rate of insects gets slowed down.
B. The failure of nature’ s ecosystems can be avoided.
C. Sharp drops in insect numbers endanger ecosystems.
D. Insect extinction harms the diversity of animal species.
D
Nearly everyone will know they have felt anxious about a maths question at some time in their lives. What may not seem so obvious is that many other people have felt the same way and that maths anxiety is a real problem.
So much so that the Maths Anxiety Trust has been set up to raise awareness of the issue. A poll for the trust found more than a third of 15- to 24-year-olds feel anxious when shown a maths problem. The same applies to one in five British adults.
This comes as little surprise to Celia Hoyles, professor of mathematics education at University College London（UCL）. “With maths, there’s a right or a wrong answer and that’s why people can feel so anxious—they’re scared of looking foolish, ” she says.
One problem that needs to be solved is how maths is taught. We need teachers to be able to share students’ feelings and to see other points of view, to understand where students are finding aspects of the subject difficult so they can be encouraged to overcome those difficulties.
Technology in the classroom often gets teachers and parents very angry, causing extreme predictions of “robot teachers” replacing real people—and many education technology products have appeared in the classroom with great fanfare（宣扬）in the past few years only to fall by the wayside. Simply digitizing（数字化）how maths is taught isn’ t enough. Learning technology needs to be designed with deep understanding of how pupils learn and a healthy reality check around how teachers want to use it.
“Be aware of terms such as artificial intelligence（AI）,” Georgie Hart, education director at Sparx, says. “AI can be a very disempowering （使失去权力的） term for teachers; it’ s not helpful. But the concept of adaptive teaching allows teachers to do more of the job they love.”
32. What is the purpose of the Maths Anxiety Trust?
A. To help people build trust in maths educators.
B. To teach people basic mathematical knowledge.
C. To make people know more about maths anxiety.
D. To help people gain confidence in solving maths problems.
33. Why do some people feel anxious about maths problems according to Celia Hoyles?
A. Maths problems can easily expose their intelligence.
B. They are good at solving problems in other subjects.
C. Maths problems don’ t have clear and accurate answers.
D. They don’ t think solving maths problems is of much use.
34. What can teachers do to help solve the maths anxiety problem?
A. Agree with students’ viewpoints.
B. Be more considerate towards students.
C. Pay more attention to difficult problems.
D. Make difficult aspects of the subject easy.
35. What does the underlined part “fall by the wayside” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Go out of favour. B. Become more attractive.
C. Break down secretly. D. Be regarded highly.

How to be happy
We asked four psychologists for their advice on how to be happy and, equally importantly, how to avoid being unhappy.
There has been a lot of research which shows the importance of physical health in avoiding anxiety and depression. 36 We can all make fairly easy changes in our lifestyle to include more exercise, healthier eating, getting enough sleep, being exposed to sunlight and so on. Research into exercise has found that it has a positive impact on mood. Physical activity stimulates the release of endorphins in the brain to produce the feel-good material. 37 A good night’ s sleep also stops people being bad-tempered and flying off the handle.
38 In one study, most happy people were found to have strong ties with friends and family and they made sure they spent time with them regularly. You also need at least one person who you discuss personal feelings with. That deeper connection is all-important.
I would recommend being completely absorbed in a pleasurable activity, sometimes called experiencing “flow”. 39 If you are experiencing flow, you lose track of time and find the activity rewarding. People who spend time doing “high-flow” activities feel more long-term happiness than those doing things like just chatting online.
Make like Superman! 40 People who play to their strengths （e. g. curiosity or persistence） or virtues（e. g. justice or humanity） and use them in different ways and in different situations are happier than those who focus more on their weaknesses. Studies in different countries have shown that people who focus on the positive report higher levels of well-being.
A. The mind and the body are highly interconnected.
B. Ask people to ignore the mistakes you have made.
C. Having good relationships is a big part of being happy.
D. Some people need to learn how to listen effectively to others.
E. Sleep is vitally important for people to keep concentration levels.
F. The activity could be anything from painting a picture to playing chess.
G. Discover what your unique strengths and virtues are and then use them to benefit other people.

Dear Miss Cheng,
I sincerely apologize to you for doing maths homework in your class. I would appreciate it if you can forgive me.
Having been caught doing other things in your class, I know any excuse may be meaningless. However, I did so because my mother happened to fall ill yesterday and I had to send her to hospital and look after her by myself, for my father is a migrant worker working far away. As you know, the next class would be maths. If I could’t finish my maths homework before it, I would be severely punished.
Anyway, doing other things in class is not acceptable to any teacher. I swear it will never happen again. But I do need my maths book back.
Will you be so kind as to give it back to me? Thanks a lot!
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

He was a colorful character who used to ride the New York City fire trucks, raid （突袭）places that were illegal to make and sell alcohol with the police department, take homeless children to baseball games, and whenever the New York newspapers were on strike, he would go on the radio and read the Sunday funnies to the kids.
One bitterly cold night in January of 1935, the mayor turned up at a night court that served the poorest district of the city. LaGuardia dismissed the judge for the evening and took over the bench himself. Within a few minutes, an old woman was brought before him, charged with stealing a loaf of bread. She told LaGuardia her daughter’ s husband had deserted her, that her daughter was sick, and that her two grandchildren were starving. But the shopkeeper, from whom the bread was stolen, refused to drop the charges. “It’ s a bad neighborhood, Your Honor,” the man told the mayor. “She’ s got to be punished to teach other people around here a lesson.”
LaGuardia sighed. He turned to the woman and said, “I’ ve got to punish you. The law makes no exceptions—ten dollars or ten days in jail.” But even as he pronounced sentence, the mayor reached into his pocket. He took out a bill and said, “Here is the ten-dollar fine which I now pay for the defendant（被告）; and furthermore, I am going to fine everyone in this courtroom fifty cents for living in a town where a person has to steal bread so that her grandchildren can eat. Mr. Bailiff, collect the fines to the defendant.”
So the following day the New York City newspaper reported that $47.50 was turned over to an old woman who had stolen a loaf of bread.

Insects could disappear within a century at current rate of decline, says Global Review.
The world’ s insects are moving quickly down the path to dying out, indicating a disastrous collapse（崩溃）of nature’ s ecosystems is likely to happen, according to the first global scientific review. More than 40% of insect species are declining and a third are endangered, the analysis found. The rate of extinction（灭绝）is eight times faster than that of mammals, birds and reptiles.
“It should be of huge concern to all of us, for insects are at the heart of every food web—they pollinate the large majority of plant species, keep the soil healthy, recycle nutrients, control pests, and much more. Love them or hate them, we humans cannot survive without insects,” said Prof Dave Goulson at the University of Sussex in the UK.
The analysis, published in the journal Biological Conservation, says intensive agriculture is the main driver of the declines, particularly the heavy use of pesticides（杀虫剂）. Urbanisation and climate change are also significant factors.
One of the biggest impacts of insect loss is on the many birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish that eat insects. A small number of adaptable species are increasing in number, but not nearly enough to outweigh the big losses.
Matt Shardlow, at the conservation charity Buglife, said, “It is alarming to see this collation of evidence that shows the state of the world’ s insect populations. It is increasingly obvious that the planet’ s ecology is breaking and there is a need for an intense and global effort to stop and reverse（反转）these terrible trends.”
28. What did Prof Dave stress in his speech?
A. Insects are vital to food webs.
B. Not all people love insects.
C. Scientists are concerned about insect loss.
D. Humans need certain conditions for survival.
29. Which of the following is most influenced by insect loss?
A. Animals that feed on insects.
B. Adaptable animal species.
C. Pests that are used to pesticides.
D. Crops produced by intensive agriculture.
30. How did Matt Shardlow sound when talking about the state of insect loss?
A. Relaxed. B. Uncaring. C. Humorous. D. Worried.
31, What is the best title for the text?
A. The extinction rate of insects gets slowed down.
B. The failure of nature’ s ecosystems can be avoided.
C. Sharp drops in insect numbers endanger ecosystems.
D. Insect extinction harms the diversity of animal species.
D
Nearly everyone will know they have felt anxious about a maths question at some time in their lives. What may not seem so obvious is that many other people have felt the same way and that maths anxiety is a real problem.
So much so that the Maths Anxiety Trust has been set up to raise awareness of the issue. A poll for the trust found more than a third of 15- to 24-year-olds feel anxious when shown a maths problem. The same applies to one in five British adults.
This comes as little surprise to Celia Hoyles, professor of mathematics education at University College London（UCL）. “With maths, there’s a right or a wrong answer and that’s why people can feel so anxious—they’re scared of looking foolish, ” she says.
One problem that needs to be solved is how maths is taught. We need teachers to be able to share students’ feelings and to see other points of view, to understand where students are finding aspects of the subject difficult so they can be encouraged to overcome those difficulties.
Technology in the classroom often gets teachers and parents very angry, causing extreme predictions of “robot teachers” replacing real people—and many education technology products have appeared in the classroom with great fanfare（宣扬）in the past few years only to fall by the wayside. Simply digitizing（数字化）how maths is taught isn’ t enough. Learning technology needs to be designed with deep understanding of how pupils learn and a healthy reality check around how teachers want to use it.
“Be aware of terms such as artificial intelligence（AI）,” Georgie Hart, education director at Sparx, says. “AI can be a very disempowering （使失去权力的） term for teachers; it’ s not helpful. But the concept of adaptive teaching allows teachers to do more of the job they love.”
32. What is the purpose of the Maths Anxiety Trust?
A. To help people build trust in maths educators.
B. To teach people basic mathematical knowledge.
C. To make people know more about maths anxiety.
D. To help people gain confidence in solving maths problems.
33. Why do some people feel anxious about maths problems according to Celia Hoyles?
A. Maths problems can easily expose their intelligence.
B. They are good at solving problems in other subjects.
C. Maths problems don’ t have clear and accurate answers.
D. They don’ t think solving maths problems is of much use.
34. What can teachers do to help solve the maths anxiety problem?
A. Agree with students’ viewpoints.
B. Be more considerate towards students.
C. Pay more attention to difficult problems.
D. Make difficult aspects of the subject easy.
35. What does the underlined part “fall by the wayside” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Go out of favour. B. Become more attractive.
C. Break down secretly. D. Be regarded highly.

How to be happy
We asked four psychologists for their advice on how to be happy and, equally importantly, how to avoid being unhappy.
There has been a lot of research which shows the importance of physical health in avoiding anxiety and depression. 36 We can all make fairly easy changes in our lifestyle to include more exercise, healthier eating, getting enough sleep, being exposed to sunlight and so on. Research into exercise has found that it has a positive impact on mood. Physical activity stimulates the release of endorphins in the brain to produce the feel-good material. 37 A good night’ s sleep also stops people being bad-tempered and flying off the handle.
38 In one study, most happy people were found to have strong ties with friends and family and they made sure they spent time with them regularly. You also need at least one person who you discuss personal feelings with. That deeper connection is all-important.
I would recommend being completely absorbed in a pleasurable activity, sometimes called experiencing “flow”. 39 If you are experiencing flow, you lose track of time and find the activity rewarding. People who spend time doing “high-flow” activities feel more long-term happiness than those doing things like just chatting online.
Make like Superman! 40 People who play to their strengths （e. g. curiosity or persistence） or virtues（e. g. justice or humanity） and use them in different ways and in different situations are happier than those who focus more on their weaknesses. Studies in different countries have shown that people who focus on the positive report higher levels of well-being.
A. The mind and the body are highly interconnected.
B. Ask people to ignore the mistakes you have made.
C. Having good relationships is a big part of being happy.
D. Some people need to learn how to listen effectively to others.
E. Sleep is vitally important for people to keep concentration levels.
F. The activity could be anything from painting a picture to playing chess.
G. Discover what your unique strengths and virtues are and then use them to benefit other people.

Dear Miss Cheng,
I sincerely apologize to you for doing maths homework in your class. I would appreciate it if you can forgive me.
Having been caught doing other things in your class, I know any excuse may be meaningless. However, I did so because my mother happened to fall ill yesterday and I had to send her to hospital and look after her by myself, for my father is a migrant worker working far away. As you know, the next class would be maths. If I could’t finish my maths homework before it, I would be severely punished.
Anyway, doing other things in class is not acceptable to any teacher. I swear it will never happen again. But I do need my maths book back.
Will you be so kind as to give it back to me? Thanks a lot!
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
