五、阅读理解
It may sound strange, but many people play noise to help themselves sleep better. Actually, this kind of noise is called coloured noise, such as white noise, pink noise, and brown noise.
Coloured noise includes a wide range(范围) of frequencies(频率). However, it shows stronger intensity(强度)at certain frequencies. For example, violet noise has stronger intensity at higher frequencies. Brown noise produces deeper sounds such as heavy rainfall, because it shows stronger intensity at lower frequencies. White noise has equal intensity across all frequencies. Typical examples of white noise are the noise made by fans, and natural sounds like gently running water. Pink noise is similar to white noise but has stronger intensity at lower frequencies.
There have been several experiments on the effect(影响) that noise has on people. In a study, 10 people in New York City showed improved sleep quality and sleep duration(时长) when white noise was played. Another sleep study showed that 16 adults actually improved their memory of vocabulary after listening to pink noise in their sleep, though the effect of pink noise on sleep quality wasn’t proven. Some people suggest that brown noise is the best noise for their sleep. However, no studies have proven it.
So why do some people sleep better with certain coloured noise? There are some theories(理论) that can explain it. One is about sound masking(掩蔽), and it shows that white noise masks other noise, leading to a better sleep. Another theory is that this effect could be an example of classical conditioning(条件反射). For example. people who sleep better with brown noise may have developed the habit of falling asleep easily.
Every coloured noise has its advantages. It is your personal choice to decide which coloured noise is the best for you to get a good sleep!
1. According to the passage, coloured noise ________.
A. shows similar intensity B. is mainly created by people
C. has different frequencies D. is harmful to people’s health
2. Which of the following is right for the frequencies of coloured noise?
3. What can we learn from the passage?
A. White noise is helpful for people to improve memory.
B. The effect of pink noise on sleep quality has been proven.
C. People may sleep better with brown noise if they get used to it.
D. People can’t decide which coloured noise to play for their sleep.
4. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Coloured Noise: A Good Helper for Your Sleep
B. Coloured Noise: A Creative Idea to Study Sounds
C. Coloured Noise: A New Way to Improve Memory
D. Coloured Noise: A Smart Choice for Your Health
六、阅读短文,回答问题
Trends(潮流)come and go, so you should wear what makes you happy. In fact, the idea of feeling good by what we wear has a name—dopamine dressing(多巴胺穿搭).
The term is the idea of Dawnn Karen. She is the writer of the book Dress Your Best Life. In the book she wrote about looking for joy through dress.
“Dopamine is the feel-good chemical our bodies make. It can be released(释放) by doing other things, but what about wearing crazy or bright-coloured clothes?” says Karen. She then created “dopamine dressing”. The term quickly became popular. More and more people prefer it.
The dopamine dressing trend is alive online. Fashion influencers(网红) often wear head-to-toe colourful looks. They’re challenging their creativity to include more colours in their wardrobes(衣柜). Their bright and eye-catching clothing makes people feel like seeing a rainbow after the storm.
Of course, it’s impossible to decide exactly which colour we should wear to improve our moods, and the trend doesn’t suggest that we should all wear bright colours to feel happier. For some, wearing black might bring more happiness than wearing bright colours. This all depends on one’s personal associations(联想) with a given colour.
All in all, if you’re looking to encourage feelings of happiness through your clothing, you don’t need to turn to a specific(特定的) colour. Which colours have you always loved? Just go for them.
“Add more of your favourite colours to your wardrobe. Think about the colours that make you think of a happier time, a place or a person,” says Shakaila Forbes-Bell, a fashion psychologist(心理学家). “What do you associate with joy? Go ahead and wear it!”
每题答案不超过8个单词
1. What is dopamine?
2. Why do more and more people prefer dopamine dressing?
3. Is wearing bright colours the only way to make people happy?
4. What colour should people wear to get the feelings of happiness?
5. What do you think of the dopamine dressing?

七、Dear headmaster,
I hear that you’re asking or advice on what colour to paint in your school. Here’s my thought. I think yellow is suitable for classrooms since yellow stands for wisdom and success. It will encourage students to listen carefully and work hard.
When reading, students need a quiet and comfortable place so that they can pay full attention to the books. I think blue is a good choice for reading rooms. It makes them feel calm.
For the playrooms, I suggest green. Green makes students feel energetic. It will help students exercise more.
At last, I think you can paint the outer walls of the school white and draw some colorful pictures on them. And that will remind the students of the exciting school life.
That’s all for my advice. I hope you will find it useful.
