this section,there are four passages followed by questions or unfinishedstatements,each with four suggested answers A，B,C and D.Choose is the best answer and markyour answer on the Answer SheetAnswer Sheet。Passage OnePassage OneTeachers using red pen to mark students work could be harming their psyche as the color istoo aggressive，according to education strategies drafted by an Australian state government。The“Good Mental Health Rocks”kit，which was distributed this month to about 30 schoolsin Queensland state，offers strategies such as“Dont mark in red pen（which can be seen asaggressive)-Use a different color。”Other tips include structuring time for peer tutoring every day，apologizing to students whennecessary and asking students to conduct a“personal skills audit where they focus on theirindividual strengths rather than their weaknesses。The kit,designed to help Queensland teachers address mental health in the classroom,suggests that social and emotional wellbeing has been linked to young peoples schooling，among other things.The education aid has sparked a row in parliament，with deputy opposition leader MarkMcArdle calling it“kooky，loony,loopy lefty policies.”But Health Minister Stephen Robertson，whose department devised the kit，said youthsuicide was a serious issue.“If mental health professionals determine that as one of a number of strategies teachersshould consider，then Ill support them every day of the week,”he told reporters recently.“Thisis not a matter for ridicule，this is serious.”According to some Australian mental health groups,the greatest number of people withmental illness are aged between 18 and 24 years，with 14 percent of Australian children andadolescents suffering from some sort of illness。Boys are slightly more likely to experience mental health problems than girls and depressionis one of the most common conditions in young people and increases during adolescence,thewebsite of mental health group Mindframe said.（21)Teachers are advised not to mark students work in red pen because _.A。red color is too eye-catchingB。it may hurt students feelingsC。it is against the state lawD。colors are too aggressive(22）Which of the following is NOT offered as an education strategy?A。Focus on students individual strengths。B.Arrange time for peer-tutoring every day。C。Say sorry to students when

healthC。enable teachers to be mentally healthy themselvesD。improve students social and emotional conditions(24）It is stated in the passage that the education kit _.A。has triggered an argument in

people suffer from mental illnessB。14 percent of Australians suffer from a sort of illnessC。boys are much more likely to have mental health problemsD.depression is quite common among young peoplePassage TwoIf you start each day desperately wishing for an extra hour in bed,the following is likely toleave you feeling even more bad tempered。Scientists have identified a“sleepless elite”-asmall group of people for whom a lie-in is a waste of time。Rather than being tired，bad-tempered underachievers,they are an energetic，outgoingand optimistic group who can happily and healthily get by on just four or five hours of shut eyea night.If that were not irritating enough，they tend to be slim,able to hold down two jobs at thesame time,and breeze through their extra long days without needing caffeine pick me-ups(咖啡因提神物）or cat naps。Working out how the gene cuts sleep without any obvious impact on health could help in thedesign of drugs that give us all a few extra hours in our day。The bad news is that while many of us get by on a few hours sleep a night，just one to threepeople in 100 qualify to be part of the sleepless elite.The research team is now appealing for members of the lucky group to comecome forwardforward toallow their DNA to be studied.University of California researcher YingHui Fu said:“My longterm goal is to somedaylearn enough so we can manipulate the sleep pathways without damaging our health。Everybodycan use more waking hours，even if you just watch movies.Many of those who have already volunteered share fascinating characteristics。They arethinner than average,relentlessly upbeat（兴奋）and seem to have a high tolerance for physicalpain and psychological setbacks。Researcher Dr。Christopher Jones told the Wall Street Journal：“Typically，at the end ofa long-structured phone interview，they will admit they have been texting and surfing the Internetand doing cross-word puzzles at the same time，all on less than six hours of sleep。（27）Which of the following could be the title of this passage？A。The Sleepless Elite.B.The Impact of Sleep on Health.C。A New Research on Sleep。D。Manipulation of Sleep Pathways.（28）According to this passage,the sleepless elite _.A。regard any sleep as a waste of timeB.are often tired and bad-temperedC.perform less well than they usually doD。sleep less yet remain energetic（29）It is stated in the passage that the sleepless elite _.A.find themselves easy to become angryB.have their way to keep a good shapeC。can do two jobs well in the meantimeD。depend heavily on coffee to refresh themselves（30）Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？A。Researchers are trying to find out the secrets to the sleepless elite.B.Few people qualify to be a member of the sleepless elite group.C.Drugs are available to give people a few extra hours in a day。D.It is useful to study how to cut sleep without damaging our health。（31）The phrase“come forward”(Para.6）most probably means“_。”A。volunteerB。qualifyC.contributeD.donate（32）Which of the following is a shared feature of the sleepless elite？A。They are much thinner than most people。B。They ignore all physical and emotional pains.C.They surf the Internet almost six hours a day.D。They always think positive in face of difficulties。Passage ThreePassage ThreeMost people think women are more affected when a relationship hits a rocky patch。According to a new study on over 1，000 break-ups,it is the opposite。Research from the WakeForest University in the USA suggests men have a much harder time dealing with the low points.Lead researcher Robin Simon said：“Common wisdom says that women are more hurt byproblems in a relationship，but we found that the disadvantages of strain are exaggerated for themen。She added:“Men are more sensitive than we often think they are。”Simon and herco-researchers discovered that men often put a brave face on problems they have with their partnerbut inside,they feel more emotional pain than women.The research also showed how differently men and women dealt with problems。Womenshow their feelings more by crying and talking about how they feel。Men find this hard to dobecause they need to be“masculine”and men dont cry。Instead,they turn to the bottle or lookfor escape by using drugs.Ms.Simon said the more relationship problems a guy went through，the more likely he was to become dependent on alcohol or drugs.They make the pain go awaythrough substance abuse rather than talking。Simon said things are changing and that more andmore men are opening up。She said guys these days are more likely to have divorced parentsand“this might make them more sensitive to the ups and downs of a relationship”and be moreemotionally aware.(33)Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A.Men are hurt more in rocky relationships。B。Women are hurt more in marriage break-ups.C.Men and women are equally hurt in break-ups.D.Women are more emotionally aware than men。（34)What does the phrase“a rocky patch”at the beginning of the passage mean?A。A bad mood。B.A difficult time.C。A sensitive period.D.A mountaineering accident.(35）According to the lead researcher,_。A。women have more difficulty dealing with breakupsB.men are very insensitive to emotional problemsC。men try to cover up their real emotionsD.women are more sensitive than previously thought（36）It is stated in the passage that men deal with emotional problems _。A.in the same way as womenB.with tears and sadnessC。by breaking bottles into piecesD.by using alcohol and drugs（37)Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？A.Men drink alcohol to escape from emotional pain.B.There is a 1ink between break-ups and drug use。C。Divorced men are more sensitive nowadays.D.Guys these days are more emotionally aware.Passage F
