It was very late and everyone had left the cafe except an old man who sat in the shadow the leaves of the tree made
against the electric light In the day time the street was dusty,but at night the dew settled the dust and the old man liked
to sit late because he was deaf and now at night it was quiet and he felt the difference.The two waiters inside the cafe
knew that the old man was a little drunk,and while he was a good client they knew that if he became too drunk he
would leave without paying,so they kept watch on him.

The younger waiter took the brandy bottle and marched out to the old man's table.

Children who were behind in their development at age 4-5 were almost three times as likely to have been out of
education,employment,or training at age 16-17,analysis of pupil data has found.
4-5-year-olds in England arc assessed by the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile,and those who reach the
boundary ofa "good level of development"are considered "school ready".
The new study in the joural BMC Public Health has found a significant gap in Not in Education,Employment or
Training (NEET)()outcomes between those who were ready and unready for primary school.The research
drew on data from more than 8,000 Bradford young people whose records are linked as part of the Connected Bradford
project.The research found that 11%of children who were not school ready went on to be NEET at 16-17,compared to
just 4%of children who were school ready.
Lead author Dr Matthew Warburton,Research Officer at Leeds School of Psychology,said:"These findings tell us
that there are clear,early indicators for children and young people being at risk of disadvantage in late adolescence.As
schools routinely collect this data,the research could be used to kickstart early intervention in schools based on primary
school readiness."
The research team,which also included academics from Lancaster University and the Bradford Institute for Health
Research,say this shows a clear need for early intervention by schools to reduce disadvantage in later life.
This echoes the message from a series of N8 Child of the North and Centre for Young Lives reports on the need to
put children and young people first.Senior author Dr Amy Atkinson,Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at
Lancaster University said:"Data from the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile is readily available for millions of
children and young people in England.This information could,and should,be used to identify pupils at increased risk
2
of becoming NEEL"
28.Whu does the Early Years Foundation Stnge Profile probably do?
A.Record employment status.
B.Monitor tcenngers'progress.
C.Evaluate primary school students.
D.Assess 4-5-year-olds'development
29.What does Dr Matthew imply about the current situation of schools?
A.They lack data for early intervention.
B.They lack data to identify at-risk students.
C.Early intervention is required.
D.Early intervention have been done.
30.What do we know about the data according to the last paragraph?
A.It is rarely used in England.
B.It is not enough for identifying NEETyouth.
C.It is used ineffectively for the NEET issue.
D.It can solve the issue of NEET youth.
31.The passage is structured in the following way
A.Introducing a topic-Describing related studies-Making suggestions
B.Making a claim-Providing evidence-Drawing a conclusion
C.Presenting a problem-Analyzing the causes-Offering solutions
D.Raising a question-Discussing different opinions-Reaching an agreement

Do you see a bird right now?Can you hear one chirping?If so,you might be getting a mental health boost.A study
recently published in the journal Science found that being in the presence of birds made people feel more positive.
Andrea Mechelli,a psychologist at King's College London,found himself studying the natural world accidentally.
Initially he was searching for answers to why people who lived in cities seemed to tend to suffer mental illness,.
particularly psychosis.In 2015,he created the smartphone app Urban Mind to search for patterns in users'
environments."Our first finding is that nature has a very powerful effect,"says Mechelli.He and his colleagues then
wondered if some aspects of nature were more beneficial than others.They turned to birds for their ubiquity (
in rural and urban environments.
Their latest study included 1,292 participants mainly in the United Kingdom and Europe.For two weeks,
participants were prompted to fill out a questionnaire about their surrounding environment and their mental state three
times a day.Mechelli performed a statistical analysis that found an obvious improvement in wellbeing when birds were
present,even when eliminating other factors like the presence of trees or waterways.The mental health benefit was true
both for people who disclosed a depression diagnosis and those without any diagnosed mental health conditions.
Peter James,an cnvironmental health scientist at Harvard,would like to see more data.He found that
environmental health studies like these lack diversity.Yet,a psychologist at Trent University in Canada,Lisa Nisbet
says,"This kind of study helps us understand how people's everyday experience with specific clements of nature,such
as birds,can be restorative."
Appreciating birds seems to be a promising avenue for nature-based health and wellbeing interventions.At
Mechelli's clinical practice in London,he focuses on early intervention therapies.He suggests his patients go for walks
to observe the trees and plants growing in the city,and the bird fluttering by from branch to branch."It has no side
effects,"he says."It's something they could try,and they have nothing to lose."
32.What can be inferred about Andrea Mechelli's study?
A.Diverse environments are rewarding only for depressed people.
B.The presence of birds is beneficial to mental health
C.Peter James thought highly of Mechelli's rescarch.
D.It was originally targeted at the research on birds.
33.What does the underlined word"eliminating"mean in paragraph 3?
A.Defeating.
B.Identifying.
C.Considering.
D.Removing
34.Which of the following statement might Andrea Mechelli agree with?
A.Early intervention shows no significance.
B.The access to nature helps people be more confident
C.Nature-based intervention functions well in mental health.
D.People's daily experience is connected with mental problems.
35.What's the best title of the passage?
A.Use Nature in Supporting Mental Health
B.Get Outside for a Quicker Mental Recovery
C.Analyze Data to Make a Good Treatment Plan
D.Tum to Birds for Better Underslandings of Humans

Look back a few hundred years and chillies()were nowhere to be found in China.Unlike Sichuan peppers,
which are native to the region and widely used,chillies were brought to China from the Americas by Portuguese and
Dutch explorers only in the 16th century.
36 For at least 50 years,they were grown as decorative plants,prized for their cheerfully bright colour and
tiny white flowers,and occasionally used as medicinal herbs.
During China's last imperial period,peasants in Guizhou province started using them as a salt altemative.37
The pepper steadily spread to other rural regions of China38 For a long time,"la"was used to describe
vicious--natured(性情恶毒的)people,,and the few people who enjoyed chillies did not boost their taste
But the Communist revolution changed that.The chefs of nobles were out of favour,and their traditions
discontinued.39
Industrialization after the revolution created the largest migration in human history.40Chillies are now
integrated into street food,fine dining and snacks in regions with little tradition of heat
A.At first,nobody ate chillies.
B.However,chillies were rarely grown initially.
C.From there,a new flavour was unlocked.
D.And then,chillies gained a great popularity.
E.From then on,chillies became a symbol of working class.
F.However,the strong flavor banned it from getting near the tables of upper-class families.
G.Millions of migrants poured into big cities,bringing with them the spicy flavours of home.

One summer day,I decided to go for a walk in the nearby forest I had my backpack prepared with water,food,
and sunscreen.I was excited to spend some time in nature,away from the busy city.
The forest was attractive,with towering trees that seemed to touch the sky and colorful wildflowers under my
feet.I walked deeper into the woods,attracted by the pleasant sounds of birds.The path I followed was winding and
narrow,but I paid little attention,carried away by the beauty.I started to notice that the trees around me looked
unfamiliar.Soon I found myself lost.I realized that I had no idea which way to go.
The sun was setting and I knew that I needed to find a way out before it got dark.I started walking,trying to
remember which direction I had come from.But the forest was a maze (of winding paths,and I soon found
myself going in circles.Every tree looked the same,and every path seemed to lead nowhere.
The sound of leaves made me jump.Was it a wild animal?My heart was racing and I tried to stay calm as I
listencd for other sounds.But there was only silence,broken now and then by the distant calls of birds.
As the sun set,I fully understood the seriousness of my situation.There was no food or water left.I was
completely alone,lost in a wilderess that could easily devour (me.I walked nervously,tripping over things in
my path,feeling frightened with a racing heartbeat Hours passed,or maybe only minutes.Time had lost all meaning in
