26、 I used to think education was the most important thing in my life. Recently my attitude has begun to change , although I still hold that it is a significance for everyone in the world today. As a top senior school student, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well. Standing in front of the audience (观众)and face to so many freshmen , I was trembling, I didn’t remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the meeting room without finish my speech, leaving everyone puzzled . I cried that night in my room, feeling that I was a loser.
Studying takes up so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself. I just storing knowledge , yet I failed to communicate with others. I have received many prizes in school, but they don’t necessarily reflect anything about me. I don’t know how to socialize when I leave school. I fear I will be of no use to society.
Now I realized that everyone has his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle. Of course I will keep studying . Yet I plan to look for a part-time job, which might turn out to be a good chance to get to know society. I still believe that working my hardest makes me happy. I still stay in school. But I will not allow it to shelter me from the real world.

27、Engineers and scientists at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a unique solution to help people in these areas get clean drinking water.
They developed a low-cost gel film (凝胶膜) that can pull water from the air in even the driest climate (气候). Just one kilogram of gel can collect up to six liters of water in a dry climate. For those living in a climate with relative humidity (潮湿), one kilogram of gel can collect up to 13 liters of water a day. As the gel is so inexpensive and easy to make, it may offer a way of providing drinking water to countries with water shortages.
Researchers have harvested fresh water from fog and dew before, but that only serves areas with high humidity. Other attempts at pulling water from desert air require lots of energy and do not produce much. In fact, this gel is a big improvement from earlier water harvesting technologies. The maximum water harvested has been 5.87 liters in places with relative humidity. This new gel doubles this amount, uses no energy and is simple to operate.
“This new work is about practical solutions that people can use to get water in the hottest, driest places on Earth,” said GuihuaYu, professor at the Cockrell School of Engineering. “This could allow millions of people without access to drinking water to have simple, water generating devices (取水装置) at home that they can easily operate.”
“This is not something you need an advanced degree to use,” the paper’s lead author, Youhong “Nancy” Guo said. “It’s straightforward enough that anyone can make it at home if they have the materials.” Scientists are planning on making a thicker gel that will increase the production, making this technology a practicable solution to drought.
【1】What do we know about the gel film from paragraph 2?
A.It can increase the humidity of the air.
B.It can harvest drinking water from the air.
C.It has been widely applied in desert areas.
D.It costs lots of money and energy to produce.
【2】What is Guihua Yu’s attitude towards the new water-harvesting method?
A.Unconcerned.
B.Doubtful.
C.Objective.
D.Hopeful.
【3】What does the underlined word “straightforward” in last paragraph mean?
A.easy.
B.funny.
C.good.
D.cheap
【4】What will scientists plan to do next?
A.Develop a thicker gel.
B.Produce the gel on a large scale (规模).
C.Raise money for further research.
D.Teach people to make the gel at home.
28、People get to know the world by reading news. Here are some pieces of news on what’s happening around the world.
Artist recycles rubbish into large trolls (怪物), Ohio, US
Artist Thomas Dambo has been making large trolls out of recycled rubbish to highlight how waste can be made into beautiful things. He has built three trolls at the Aullwood Audubon Center, a bird sanctuary (保护区). Its director, Alexis Faust, said, “I see the trolls as protectors of the birds and they help remind us that we need to do the same.”
Albatrosses (信天翁) break up more often, Falkland Islands
Albatrosses usually stay with the same partner for life. However, a recent study has found that more and more albatross couples are breaking up. This has been blamed on stress caused by changes in the environment, such as warming water, which means the birds must fly further to find food
Singing robots enter the classroom, Seoul, ROK
Seoul, the capital city of ROK, has sent robots to 300 nurseries (幼儿园) to prepare children for a high-tech future. The Alpha Mini robots can sing, dance and teach kung fu. One class discovered that they could ask their robot to speak on command. Teacher Byun Seo-yeon said the robots would help with children’s creativity.
Endangered tigers come back, Yakutin, Russia
Amur tiger footprints have been found in Yakutia Russia, for the first time in 50 years. The Amur tiger, also known as the Siberian tiger, is an endangered species. In the 1940s there were fewer than 50 left in the wild. Conservation (环境保护) efforts have seen its number increases in eastern Russia, from 330 in 2005 to 600 today.

29、 The microplastics(微型塑料) problem in the oceans has made its way to sea turtles in a big way. A new study has found microplastics in the stomach of every single turtle they tested—a total of 102 sea turtles.
The researchers tested more than 100 sea turtles from all seven kinds and three different oceans, and they were looking for man-made things less than 5 mm long. The most things the team found were fibers, which most likely came from clothing and fishing equipment.
“The influence of these particles on turtles is unknown,” said Emily Duncan. “Their small size means they can pass through the stomach without causing a problem, as is frequently reported with larger plastic pieces.”
The researchers found more than 800 man-made particles in the turtles, but since they only tested part of the stomach, they believe the total number of particles could be 20 times higher. They don’t know how the turtles take in the particles, but they think they are from polluted seawater and polluted plants.
Professor Brendan Godley said that eating microplastics isn’t the biggest problem to sea turtles at the moment, but it is a clear sign that we need to do a better job watching global waste.
This turtle study shows that we need to reduce the amount of plastic waste, so we can keep clean and healthy oceans for future people.
【1】The underlined part in paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
A.has gone into B.has made great effect on
C.has been walking to D.has tried to escape from
【2】How did the researchers find out the microplastics problem?

B.Eating microplastics is the biggest danger to sea turtles
C.Scientists know clearly how sea turtles eat plastic pieces
D.The number of particles inside sea turtles is much higher
【4】The purpose of the text is to call on people to ________.
A.stop killing sea animals B.find out more plastic waste

Most people assume that life in the rat race is bad for your health.But reversing the traditional gender roles is a stressful 【1】, according to the latest research by American scientists. By giving up their jobs in order to become house husbands, men 【2】their risk of heart attacks by as much as 82%, according to research based on a 10-year study of 2,500 people in Boston, USA.
According to Dr Eaker, the key to the problem is that some man became 【3】 about performing a role not 【4】 assigned to them by society. Men who stay at home tend not to have the same levels of support from fiends and family as women who do the same. Jack O’Sullivan, of the Father’s Direct group, was quoted as saying: “Society expects the main carer to be a woman, and society is 【5】 around that. Daycare is called mother and toddle groups and some men feel 【6】 about belong to those groups.”
Professor Gary Cooper, a psychologist at the University of Manchester, said many men tend to 【7】 the task of caring for a family. He said:“Most men think being a house husband involves putting on a bit of washing , taking the kids to school and then putting their feet up with a cup of coffee. They are crazy. Most men are not used to performing a 【8】of activities at the same time-the kind of multi-tasking which is second 【9】 to most of women.”
It is estimated that men have taken over the main homemaker’s role in one seven homes, as increasing numbers of women become the main breadwinner. The study also found that women in high-powered jobs were more likely to develop heart disease than those in more 【10】 positions.

Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents” who were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extra-curricular activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
