26、 New research suggests that dogs might be able to help save diseased citrus trees.
A group of scientists trained dogs to use their sense of smell to detect a crop disease called citrus-greening. The disease has affected orange, lemon and grapefruit trees in the American states of Florida, California and Texas.
The dogs can detect the disease weeks to years before it appears on tree leaves and roots, the researchers report. A study on their findings was published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The report says using dogs is also faster, less costly and more exact than having people collect hundreds of leaves for lab analysis.
Timothy Gottwald is a researcher with the U. S. Department of Agriculture and a co-writer of the study. He told The Associated Press, “This technology is thousands of years old-the dog’s nose. We’ve just trained dogs to hunt new prey.”
Citrus-greening is caused by a bacteria (细菌) that is spread by a tiny insect that feeds on the leaves and stems of citrus trees. Once a tree is infected (感染), there is no cure. The disease has also hurt citrus crops in Central and South America and Asia. In one experiment involving grapefruit trees in Texas, trained dogs were correct 95 percent of the time in telling the difference between newly infected trees and healthy ones. “The earlier you detect a disease, the better chance you have at stopping an epidemic (流行病) by removing infected trees,” Gottwald said.
Matteo Garbelotto studies plants at the University of California, Berkeley. He says the new research shows that dogs can detect an infection well before current methods. Garbelotto has been involved in similar research but had no part in the new study.
Laura Sims is a plant scientist with Louisiana Tech University. She praised the steps taken to find out if the dogs were detecting the bacteria itself or a plant’s reaction to an infection. To do that, the researchers infected different kinds of unrelated plants with the bacteria in a laboratory. The dogs were still able to pick out the infected plants.
Gottwald said, “You’ve seen dogs working in airports, detecting drugs and explosives. Maybe soon you will see them working on more farms. ”
【1】According to the research, trained dogs can ________.
A.help infected trees recover from diseases
B.recognize a crop disease in its early stage
C.cause fruit trees to grow faster than usual
D.reduce the cost of planting some fruit trees
【2】What does the underlined part “new prey” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Infected plants.
B.Fruit trees.
C.Tiny insects.
D.Favourite foods.
【3】Why did the researchers do experiments on unrelated plants?
A.To further prove the findings.
B.To explore the plant diseases.
C.To present different opinions.
D.To discover a plant’s reactions.
【4】How does Gottwald feel about the future use of this new method?
A.Doubtful.
B.Positive.
C.Indifferent.
D.Curious.
27、According to some researchers, you should not praise children for everything that they do. It does not help them build self-confidence.
Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children’s self-confidence —the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. “Teachers should not say things like ‘good job’ or ‘nice work’ whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve,” some researchers advise.
Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, “High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child’s advantages and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can.” Praise also loses its effect if it is given equally to all students.
“It’s important to tell children the truth about what they’ve done. Honest feedback (反馈) is far better than empty praise,” Duke adds. “People have got into the habit of not telling children when they’re wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficulties when they grow up. That’s just how the world is.”
【1】According to some researchers, if parents praise their children too much, their children will ______.
A.always look for praise
B.increase self-confidence
C.become strong
D.do better in their studies
【2】In order to help children build self-confidence, some researchers advise parents to ______.
A.make them live more happily
B.let them do more difficult work
C.help them do better in school
D.encourage them to improve
【3】The underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refers to _________.
A.the effect
B.the praise
C.the advantage
D.the confidence
【4】What is the last paragraph about?
A.It’s important to have the habit of praising children.
B.Children should know their mistakes as soon as possible.
C.We should praise children honestly and tell them their mistakes.
D.What children with high self-confidence are like.
28、 Parts of Africa are covered by a dark cloud. But this is no rain cloud. It is a living cloud made of billions of locusts (蝗虫) that are traveling across the continent eating everything in their path.
And now in the battle to stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts. “We think this idea will get more people to take part in the war on the locusts,” said Abdoulaye Ba, from Sud-Fm, a radio station in one of Senegal’s worst affected area.
This is West Africa’s biggest locust disaster in 15 years, and it is moving east, causing huge damage to crops. As they move they produce young and increase their number and will soon threaten (威胁) Sudan in the northeast of Africa. Some say it could reach Asia.
Experts say the harmful effect on crops in areas already suffering from food shortage and war could cause many people to go hungry. Governments in the areas are not well equipped to fight the pest.
Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough. “We are now treating 6,000 hectares (公顷) per day with pesticide (杀虫剂), but we need to treat 20,000 hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster,” said Mohamed Abdallahi Ould Babah, director of locust control in Mauritania.
Requests are being made for international aid, which is the only way to limit the disaster, the UN’s Food and Agricul-ture Organization warned.
【1】By using “dark cloud” to describe locusts in the first paragraph, the author of the article ________.
A.showed the size and speed of the mass of locusts
B.suggested the great damage that locusts can cause
C.warned that locusts would sweep the continent like rain clouds
D.both A and B
【2】The story is mainly about ________.
A.West Africa’s united effort in fighting a disaster
B.the difficulty in controlling locusts
C.how locusts caused great damage to West Africa
D.a struggle to fight against a disaster brought by locusts in West Africa
【3】 Which of the following is WRONG?
A.Sud-Fm offered a reward for fighting locusts so that more people would join in the effort.
B.Senegal is to the southwest of Sudan.
C.The locusts can cause such damage mainly because it has no natural enemy in West Africa.
D.12 countries affected by locusts have united but still lack pesticide.
29、Running is a great form of exercise. However, running under certain conditions can cause a variety of injuries.
The National Running Association recently released the results of its latest survey on common running injuries, as illustrated in the picture on the right. According to the survey results, the most reported cases are related to knee injury and muscle pull, with the former occurring a little less frequently. About a quarter of the respondents say they have had plantar fasciitis, The number of respondents suffering from Achilles tendonitis or shin splints is nearly twice that of those with stress fracture, which is also what fewest respondents report.
There are two main causes of running injury: structural imbalance and training volume. Structural imbalance occurs when a certain muscle group is weak and requires other muscle groups to help. The body adapts to stresses and becomes stronger. This is the basic principle of training. However, if you push too fast or run too far, you can stress the body in such a way that it never has time to fully recover. Training progression and moderation are the keys to avoiding overuse injury.
Here are several ways to avoid running injury.
● Prepare your body for running by walking.
● Understand your body type and be patient.
● Follow a sensible training plan or find a coach.
● Wear the right shoes.
The cause of the injury is not easy to diagnose. For example, a foot problem can cause a problem in the knees or back. Finding and treating the cause of a running injury is the job of a trained doctor. More importantly, listen to your body and recognize the signs of overtraining so that you can avoid running injury.
【1】Which group of injuries best fits the blanks numbered ①, ②, ③ and ④ in the picture?
A.① knee injury; ② muscle pull; ③ stress fracture; ④ shin splints
B.① muscle pull; ② knee injury; ③ stress fracture; ④ Achilles tendonitis
C.① knee injury; ② muscle pull; ③ shin splints; ④ stress fracture
D.① muscle pull; ② knee injury; ③ Achilles tendonitis; ④ stress fracture
【2】According to the passage, which of the following leads to structural imbalance?
A.Using some muscles more intensely than others.
B.Training weak muscles more often than strong ones.
C.Adapting your body to stresses slowly.
D.Giving your body little time to recover.
【3】According to the passage, if you want to find out why your back and knees hurt after running. you had better _____.
A.turn to a coach for help
B.consult a trained doctor
C.understand your body type first
D.wear another pair of running shoes

Huron, Ohio, was where I’d spent my twenties, working on a ship out on the Great Lakes. My wife and I started our family there, and later we came back to Huron to retire. Then, during the final stages of construction on our new home, I had difficulty breathing. The doctor determined I needed an open-heart operation. I was admitted to a hospital in Sandusky.
The night before my operation, I was so worried that I couldn’t sleep. I lay in my hospital bed, praying (祈祷) and thinking about the events in my life. I remembered how I had loved Huron and its people. I remembered a Christmas many years ago...
The shipping season had been good to me, so that winter I decided to buy some Christmas gifts and help out a family in town. “I know a family that would appreciate a visit from Santa Claus,” the owner of store said. “A woman with six children just lost her husband.”
The store owner and his wife helped me wrap (包) some presents and gave me the family’s address. That evening I delivered the packages. A little girl with shining brown eyes and the sweetest smile answered the door. “Santa asked me to bring these gifts to you and your family,” I said.
The girl’s eyes lit up even more. “Tell Santa thank you from Dorothy,” she said. I never saw her or her family again, but they, and the other folks I met in town, helped give Huron a lifelong place in my heart. A heart that now needed fixing, badly.
