26、A Journey to the Yosemite Firefall
Each year, thousands of people are attracted to the Yosemite National Park in California for a chance of seeing — and photographing — the unique “firefall”. The amazing “firefall” comes to life only when there is enough water from the melting (融化) snow to keep the Horsetail Fall flowing and when the light of the setting sun hits the waterfall at the right angle. It can only be seen for a short time in February on clear sunny days.
This year, the weather isn’t stopping the “firefall” from happening, but it is making the journey to see it more difficult.
“What would have been a 10-minute walk turned into a two-hour hike through deep snow?” photographer Ryan Fitzsimons said about his recent trip to see the phenomenon. “Our clothes were all wet by the time we got to a viewing site. But the heavy snow made the sight much more beautiful since the waterfall is much bigger this year.”
Another photographer Andy Heitz was making his first trip to see the “firefall”. He had to wait five hours in the extreme cold for his turn to take a picture.
“I got to the site at about 12:00 at noon. The place was already filled with hundreds of people waiting to see and photograph the ‘firefall’. I was so lucky that I shot a really wonderful burner! I was completely amazed with what I saw,” he said. “You know, only on a couple days of the year in February and when the sun sets down at the perfect angle to shine on Yosemite’s Horsetail Fall can we see the ‘Fire Fall’. I’ll never forget what I have seen.”
The “firefall” should continue to be there from 20 to 24 February. But park officials said that there’s no guarantee (保证) that visitors will see it on any given day.
【1】When might be the best time to take pictures of the “firefall”?
A．Early in the morning.
B．At noon.
C．Late in the afternoon.
D．At night.
【2】What does the underlined word “burner” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A．A worker in the kitchen.
B．The fire in the Yosemite National Park.
C．A part of a cooker or stove.
D．The unique Horsetail Fall in the setting sun.
【3】Why might the “firefall” disappear between 20 to 24 February this year?
A．There wouldn’t be enough snow.
B．It might be too cloudy.
C．The waterfall might not freeze.
D．The snow might met too fast.
【4】What is the main purpose of this text?
A．To introduce an attraction.
B．To give suggestions for a trip.
C．To advertise a park in the US.
D．To explain what is a “firefall”.
27、Physical education, or gym class, isn’t required for all high school students. In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons. But should high school students have physical education? The answer is certainly “yes”.
Today many people don’t do sports. But as is known to all, doing sports is very important for an adult. Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.
High school isn’t that easy. Many students are under a lot of stress. Stress can be harmful to a student’s studies and life. Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school.
The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity (肥胖症). Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger.
The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around, such as video games and computer activities, means many teens don’t get their required exercise. Physical education classes act as a public health measure to encourage activity and help teens have healthy weights.
Inactivity increases teens’ risk of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. As much as 75 percent of health-care spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be hindered by lifestyle changes, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.
According to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic (学业的) performance. Students from programs with no physical activity, who used the extra time for classroom study, did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.
【1】According to Paragraph 2, what does physical education in high school mean?
A．Helping teens learn to make good plans.
B．Removing the stress faced by teens at school.
C．Making teens attach importance to exercise later.
D．Getting teens to encourage adults to exercise.
【2】What does the underlined word “hindered” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Measured.
B．Prevented.
C．Shown.
D．Caused.
【3】According to the PCFSN, what does doing sports mean?
A．Making students choose between sports and studies.
B．Helping students make good use of all their time.
C．Helping students adjust to their studies better.
D．Helping students do better in their studies.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．How high school students can live a better life.
B．How schools can help students love doing sports.
C．Why some schools consider physical education important.
D．Why high school students should receive physical education.
28、 When it comes to sharks, many people think of their pointy fins（鱼鳍）and cruel nature. But there is more to sharks than their sharp teeth: The creature appeared on earth 410 million years ago, earlier than dinosaurs.
However, sharks are now at the edge of extinction. Numbers of oceanic sharks have declined by an alarming 71 percent over the past 50 years, according to a research published in Nature on Jan 27. “Such steep declines are shocking even to experts, especially when compared to land animal statistics,” said Sonja Fordham at Shark Advocates International. This alarming data may be an underestimate of reality due to unreported fish catches, Nathan Pacoureau, the study researcher, noted.
The study analyzed 31 species; 24 now risk extinction, and three shark species are now classified as critically endangered, including the oceanic whitetip shark and great hammerhead. The study found the decline hit the largest species first before impacting smaller ones over time, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature （IUCN）. It also revealed shark finning and fishing worldwide have driven the decline. “The Indian Ocean is the worst. There is almost no fisheries management at all,” said Pacoureau.
“Overfishing of sharks endangers the health of entire ocean ecosystems as well as food safety for some countries,” said Nicholas Dulvy, professor from Canada. The researchers are calling on immediate action to make a brighter future for these “extraordinary, irreplaceable animals”, according to the BBC.
Although the situation looks disappointing, the future of sharks is still promising. Twenty-five species have returned to normal, due to long-term conservation campaigns in the past decades. A couple of shark species, including the great white, have started to recuperate through science-based fishing limits, Fordham said.
These examples “provide living proof that the world can set, and meet, ambitious biodiversity targets”, Jane Smart, global director of IUCN, said in a statement.
【1】Why is the data different from the reality?
A．It is not based on scientific analysis.
B．It is declining sharply every year.
C．It may leave out some unreported cases.
D．It only focuses on the largest species.
【2】What probably caused the decline of sharks?
A．No fisheries management.
B．Overfishing and finning of sharks.
C．Climate changes.
D．Reduction of food sources.
【3】What does the underlined word “recuperate” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Recover.
B．Develop.
C．Decline.
D．Gather.
【4】What will the future of ecosystem be like according to Jane Smart?
A．The extinction of shark species is unavoidable.
B．To restore the biodiversity in the sea is hopeful.
C．Conservation campaigns will make no difference.
D．A quarter of the species will be recovered in a decade.
29、Do you get nervous thinking about geometry, equations (方程式) or a coming math test? If your answer is “yes”, you are far from alone. Math anxiety has become a common psychological (心理的) condition among students around the world. Students in countries with higher levels of math anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Feb. 15.
Math anxiety—a negative emotional reaction to the core subject—causes fear, physical suffering and behavior problems among young pupils, according to a University of Cambridge study. In ordinary life, many people experience some degree of discomfort when meeting with a math problem, ranging from mild tension to strong fear.
Some people also experience physical symptoms such as sweaty palms or a racing heart. They may then try to avoid every situation involving numbers, meaning they are held back from pursuing careers related to this subject, such as science, technology or engineering, according to The Guardian.
Reassurance (慰藉) comes from the fact that those with math anxiety aren’t destined (注定的) to be bad at math. “If a child has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’re not good at math. They may have had a really bad experience with math and there are ways to improve math achievement,” Daniel Ansari, the senior author of the study told The London Free Press. “Students with math anxiety are not cognitively (认知地) disadvantaged.”
Also, there are ways to manage your stress related to math. If you’re feeling stressed before a math exam, it may help to spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. “It’s about making sure you’re interpreting your feelings correctly,” Sian Beilock, a cognitive scientist in the US told the BBC. “Just because you have a fast heartbeat and sweaty palms, that does not necessarily mean you will fail.”
A little math anxiety could be taken as a positive challenge to overcome. Just like many people get stage fright before delivering a speech, this nervous energy can help to motivate, according to Ian Lyons, a psychologist at Georgetown University in the US.
【1】What does the author focus on in Paragraphs 2 and 3?
A．Analyzing causes.
B．Proving examples.
C．Explaining influences.
D．Drawing comparisons.
【2】What message do Daniel Ansari’s words convey in Paragraph 4?
A．Math anxiety is what leads to students’ failure.
B．Math anxiety is what nearly everyone will face.
C．Math anxiety doesn’t necessarily mean poor math.
D．Math anxiety doesn’t necessarily allow improvement space.
【3】How should you deal with the stress related to math according to the article?
A．Learn to understand your feelings.
B．Turn to cognitive experts for help.
C．Take all nervous energy as a challenge.
D．Practice more before taking math exams.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A．What is anxiety?
B．Worried by numbers
C．How to avoid studying math?
D．Math test -a nightmare for all

Herbal medicine，which has been used for medicinal purposes，is the use of plants to treat disease. Many herbalists use the entire plant，from the flowers，stems，leaves，and roots，in the form of everything from teas to tablets. These plants contain natural，chemical things that can treat the body for a variety of diseases，such as allergies（过敏症），asthma（哮喘）and cancer，among others.
Nowadays an increasing number of people prefer to adopt these plants to treat their diseases because，compared with chemical medicine，herbal medicine has its own advantages. Herbal medicine is more effective than chemical medicine for certain diseases. The chemical medicine prescribed by a chemist could have negative side effects，which，however，many of the herbal medicine does not have. If any，they are softer than chemical medicine. Obesity is the cause of many of the health problems. Herbal medicine can help weight loss more effectively and improve overall health.
However，cure using herbal medicine would take some time，and therefore people are supposed to possess enough patience. Worse still，herbal medicine contains a variety of ingredients（成分）and people have to be sure that their body agrees with the ingredients and that it is not allergic. A point worth mentioning here is that some herbal medicine for certain illnesses may have negative side effects. These side effects may not be shown at once，but would take months or even years. In the first stages，if the herbal medicine is not agreeing with you，it is wise to stop using it.
When used correctly，herbs can help treat a variety of diseases. But keep in mind that the herbal medicine industry is not regulated，so herbal products are sometimes labeled wrongly and may contain additives that are not listed on the label. Some herbs may cause allergic reactions or interact with conventional drugs，and some are poisonous if used improperly or at high doses（剂量）. Taking herbs on your own increases your risk.
