26、 Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand (消费者需要) for environment friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic and metal container are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.
However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these, “Will this shampoo damage the environment?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”
A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environment safety of a product before they buy it. This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “green”, that is, friendly to the environment.
Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarkets’ products carry labels (标签) to show that the product is green. Some companies have made producing of clean and safe products their main selling points and emphasize (强调) it in their advertising.
The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it.” The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.
【1】It becomes clear from the passage that the driving force (动力) behind the green products is ______.
A.public caring for the environment B.companies’ desire for bigger sales
C.new ways of doing business D.rapid growth of supermarkets
【2】Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Only the productive methods are the cause of the heavy pollution.
B.Manufactures made their products clean with cleaners.
C.In fact, it is the public who made the companies produce green products.
D.Not all the consumers would like green products.
【3】The underlined word “it” in the fourth paragraph refers to ______.
A.a selling point B.the company name
C.a great demand for health foods D.the producing of green products
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.Business and People B.Business Goes Green
C.Shopping Habits Are Changing D.Supermarkets and Green Products
27、One day King Solomon was sitting on his throne (宝座、御座) and his guards were standing around him. Suddenly the door was opened and the Queen of Sheba came in. “King,” she said, “in my own country I have heard much about your power and glory, but much more about your wisdom. Men have told me that there is no puzzle that you can not solve. I have here a puzzle which I think will test your wisdom. I would like to show you.”
Then she held up in each hand beautiful wreath(花环) of flowers. The wreaths were so nearly alike that none could point out any difference. “One of these wreaths,” said the Queen, “is made of flowers picked from your garden. The other is made of artificial(人工的) flowers, shaped and colored by a skillful artist. Now, tell me, which one is true, and which one is false?” The king was puzzled. He moved uneasily on his golden throne. His ministers and guards shook their heads.
Suddenly the king remembered that close by his window there was a climbing vine(藤) filled with beautiful sweet flowers. He had seen many bees flying among these flowers and gathering honey from them. He asked one of his ministers to open the window.
It was opened. The queen was standing quite near to it with the two wreaths still in her hands. The next moment two bees flew eagerly in. Then came one after another. All flew to the flowers in the queen’s right hand. Not one of the bees so much as looked at those in her left hand. “Queen of Sheba, the bees have given you my answer,” said King Solomon.
And the queen said, “You are wise, King Solomon. You gather knowledge from the little things which common men pass by unnoticed.”
【1】What did the Queen of Sheba hear about King Solomon?
A．He could solve all the puzzles.
B．He was kind to his people in the country.
C．He liked sitting with all his great men.
D．He could deal with all kinds of troubles.
【2】King Solomon felt uneasy probably because________.
A．the Queen was impolite to him
B．he didn’t like flowers at all
C．it was hard to tell the difference of the two wreaths.
D．none of his ministers and guards knew the names of the flowers.
【3】King Solomon asked one of his ministers to open the window in order to ________.
A．let the bees fly in
B．let the fresh air come in
C．keep himself calm down
D．make the flowers grow well
【4】The bees were probably interested in ________.
A．the artificial flowers
B．flying through the windows
C．visiting the Queen
D．the sweet smell in the room
【5】We can learn from the passage that the Queen ________.
A．loved King Solomon deeply
B．admired King Solomon very much
C．would like to ask for help from King Solomon.
D．didn’t believe in King Solomon clearly
28、Be a good Listener
When communicating with others, we often focus (集中) on what we should say. 【1】 Try the following tips to become a good listener.
Pay full attention to the speaker. You can’t listen effectively (有效地) if you’re constantly checking your phone or thinking about something else. 【2】 If you find it hard to do so, try repeating their words over in your head—it’ll help you stay focused.
Show your interest in what’s being said. Nod and smile at the speaker from time to time. 【3】 These show that you are listening with interest.
【4】 Listen without judging the other person or the things she tells you. If what she says frightens you, go ahead and feel frightened, but don’t say to yourself, “Well, that was a stupid move.” As soon as you allow yourself to be judgmental, you’ve decreased your effectiveness as a listener.
Don’t be a sentence-grabber. When you are trying to speed up the conversation by finishing the other’s sentences, this usually lands you way off base. 【5】 So what you need is patience, not speed.
A. Keep an open mind.
B. Look at each other in the eye.
C. The only way to find out is by listening.
D. But successful communication is more about listening.
E. Encourage the speaker to continue with small expressions like “yes” or “uh huh”.
F. Stay focused on the moment-to-moment experience to pick up the important information.
G. You’re following your own train of thought and ignore where the speaker’s is headed.
29、 Heart disease is one of the major killers in the world today. Many who suffer from it must have heart transplants (移植). However, it’s difficult to get a suitable heart donation, and even if a patient survives the wait, his or her body often rejects (排斥) the heart.
But there is now new hope for sufferers of heart disease. According to a study published in the journal Advanced Science, researchers from Israel’s Tel Aviv University printed a 3D human heart on April 15.
“This is the first time anyone anywhere has successfully engineered and printed an entire heart,” professor Tal Dvir told CNN.
Unlike the previous 3D-printed heart structure, the new heart is complete with cells, blood vessels (血管), chambers (心室) and other structures a heart needs to function normally. But scientists still have more to figure out before the 3D-printed heart can be fitted into the body. For one thing, the experimental heart is only the size of a thumb (拇指). And, although it can contract (收缩) like a muscle, it cannot pump out blood like a real one. At present, the heart prototype (样品) is like a tiny airplane that has all of the right parts, but can’t fly.
However, the development is still regarded as a major breakthrough in medicine.
In the experiment, the researchers turned human fat tissue (脂肪组织) into human heart tissue with stem cell (干细胞) technology. The tissue was then turned into “bio-ink” for a 3D printer to ensure that tissue in the heart came from the patients themselves. So ideally, if it were to be placed in the body of someone in need of a transplant, there would be less risk of organ rejection.
“Patients will no longer have to wait for transplants or take medications to prevent their rejection,” researchers told USA Today. “Instead, the needed heart will be printed, fully personalized (个性化的) for every patient.”
But the scientists think that 3D printing can be used to create other human organs. They foresee a time when the 3D printing of organs will be an everyday medical practice.
“Maybe, in 10 years, there will be organ printers in the finest hospitals around the world and these procedures will be conducted routinely,” Dvir said.
【1】Why is the 3D-printed heart important?
A.It will be used on a patient.
B.It is the first 3D-printed heart.
C.It will replace a heart donation.
D.It has a complete heart structure.
【2】What problem do 3D-printed hearts have?
A.They cost too much. B.They are too small.
C.They can’t contract. D.They are hard to produce.
【3】Why would there be less risk of organ rejection with the 3D-printed heart?
A.It would be made with stem cell technology.
B.It would be made from human fat tissue.
C.It would come from a patient’s body.
D.It would be printed according to the patient’s condition.
【4】What attitude does Tal Dvir hold toward the future of 3D printing of organs?
A.Confident. B.Doubtful.
C.Worried. D.Confused.

32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Is early childhood education really necessary? Early childhood education primarily pays great attention to learning through playing to develop the child's physical, sensory, communicational and social development. Early childhood education has become a concern of the government, who pushes poor children to be formally trained before they are old enough for kindergarten.
There are good reasons for the government to push early childhood education. Studies have shown that orphaned (成为孤儿)children who did not receive good care and education become developmentally delayed causing failure in school, and even in life. Further studies show that poor children who take part in Head Start programs are more prepared for school, with much less possibility of ending up in Special Education classes, receiving public help or going to prison.
There are also negative parts to put a child in formal education programs too early. Time Magazine online explains that "the younger the child，the less his chances of catching up with first grade work. " I have personally witnessed (见证)many children of my generation who went to Head Start programs become frustrated and bored with school before they finished high school.
Actually, while early formal education of poor children does show great gains in the early primary years, studies also show that this head start is really a "false start", as the gains are lost in middle and high school years. It seems that environment is a bigger factor on life's success than early education. Head Start programs have not achieved its original goal in closing the achievement gap (差距) in poor and middle school children. Perhaps it is time to find other ways to close that gap.
