26、 When you feel that midafternoon slump(消沉) is coming on, should you fight it and get on with your day, or lie on the couch for a while. This may not be a problem that a huge number of people fight with regularly. But a new study suggests that if you’re watching your blood pressure, taking a midday nap may be a step in the right direction.
It’s long been known that naps, when done right, can leave you feeling fresh and energetic. Whether they can carry any immediate cardiovascular(心血管的) benefits has been less clear, even though this could affect the health of millions of people around the world.
“We all know that lifestyle changes stand for the basis of treatment for high blood pressure,” says Manolis Kallistratos, MD, an expert at Asklepieion General Hospital in Voula, Greece. “We also know that certain cultures have the habit of sleep during midday.” These two observations led Dr. Kallistratos and his colleagues to survey the effects of napping on blood pressure in a number of different ways.
On March 18, a study was showed at the American College of Cardiology 2019 meeting in New Orleans. Scientists wanted to find out whether taking a nap can influence people whose blood pressure is fairly well controlled, but who could still benefit from lower levels. The study included 212 adults with an average age of 62, whose average systolic blood pressure was 129. 9 mmHg. The researchers found that people who napped had systolic blood pressure that was 5. 3 mmHg lower, on average than in those who didn’t nap.
【1】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The coach. B. The new study. C. A midday nap. D. Midafternoon slump.
【2】Why does the author mention Dr. Kallistratos’ words?
A. To introduce some Dr. Kallistratos’ findings.
B. To provide the reason for Dr. Kallistratos’ research.
C. To show us some advice on keeping healthy.
D. To tell us the effects of napping on blood pressure.
【3】What did the study on March 18 want to find out?
A. People who napped are unhealthy.
B. People taking a nap have the lowest blood pressure.
C. Taking a nap is good for health.
D. To tell us the effects of napping on blood pressure.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A. Taking a nap may help lower blood pressure.
B. Taking nap can make you weak.
C. Taking a nap can make your blood pressure higher.
D. Taking a nap may cause a problem.
27、There is a country-I read about it once-where the local custom is that if you go to a house and praise some small possession,the owners feel obliged to offer it to you as a gift.I don’t remember the name of the country;the only other place I know of with such a custom is my mother’s apartment.
Knowing Mama,I have always been careful with my compliments,but that doesn’t stop her. Mama senses admiration far more subtle(敏感的)than what’s spoken.If she catches me staring at anything small enough to put in a grocery sack,she hands it to me as I leave.It would do no good to protest.
Sometimes,while visiting Mama,I try not to say anything complimentary.
I have been worrying for weeks now about what to give my mother for Mother’s Day.For most people,this is a modest problem,solved by the purchase of a bathrobe or a box of candy. For me,however,Mother’s Day represents an annual challenge to do the impossible-find a gift that will make neither Mama nor me feel terrible.Expensive gifts-Mama defines as costing over$1.98-are out,because they make Mama feel terrible.There is always the danger that a gift given to Mama will bounce swiftly back to the giver.
Papa,a sensible man,long ago stopped trying to shop for Mama.Instead,on Mother’s Day, her birthday,and other appropriate occasions,he composes a short epic poem in which he tells of their meeting,courtship(求婚)，and subsequent(随后的)marriage.After nearly 30 years of poems,Papa sometimes worries that the edge of his poetic inspiration has dulled,but Mama doesn’t complain.She comes into the room while he is struggling over a gift poem and says,”It doesn’t have to rhyme as long as it’s from the heart.”
This year,finally,I think I,too,have found a painless gift for Mama.I am going to give her a magazine article,unrhymed but from the heart,in which I wish her”Happy Mother’s Day”and tell her there’s nothing Papa or I could ever buy,find,or make her that would be half good enough anyway.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the passage?

B．A Challenging Choice
C．A Gift for Mama
D．An Old Custom
28、 Crimes happen every day, but people aren’t the only victims of illegal activities. There are also animals. Though animals can’t tell the police officers what they’ve suffered, these are some of the hardest cases to solve.
As we all know, poachers can make a lot of money by selling meat, fur and other parts of protected animals. As the animals become rarer, their parts become more valuable. So poachers earn even greater rewards for their collection of protected species. In the past few years, the price of ivory has risen to about $850 per kg. An ivory can sometimes weigh 11 kg or more.
Now, scientists are fighting back. It is known that DNA plays a big part in solving human crimes. Like fingerprints, DNA is unique to every person. So by examining DNA in blood or hair, the police can recognize criminals and victims.
When the police find poached animal parts, such as their fur or bones, it is difficult to know what species the victims are, which is mostly cared about. DNA can prove helpful in figuring it out and also where the animals came from. That’s because members of one local group of animals share more DNA in common with each other than they do with more distant groups of their species.
If the world’s poaching victims could talk, they would probably thank these scientists for their work.
【1】The author uses the example of ivory to show that ________.
A. ivory is the most expensive part of an elephant
B. poaching is a very common activity in the world
C. poachers always treat the protected animals cruelly
D. poachers make a large profit from their illegal activities
【2】What is the author’s attitude towards the scientist’ work?
A. Critical. B. Doubtful.
C. Uninterested. D. Appreciative.
【3】The Third paragraph is mainly about ________?
A. how to examine DNA of an animal
B. why DNA is unique to every person
C. the improvement of DNA technique
D. how DNA technique helps the police
【4】When the police find poached animal parts, the first thing they want to know is ________.
A. who killed the animals
B. when the crime happened
C. what species they belong to
D. where the animals come from
