26、In the last 100 years, the global temperature has gone up by around 0. 75’℃. This may not sound like much, but an increase of 2 ℃ in global temperatures could result in extinction for 30% of the world’s land species.
On account of the changing climate, the world’s ecosystems are also changing faster. More than one-third of the world’s mangroves (红树林)and around 20％ of the world’s coral reefs(珊瑚礁)have been destroyed in the last few decades. Due to the higher temperatures and higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, plants are producing more pollen(花 粉), which could lead to more cases of asthma, a medical condition which makes it hard to breathe.
What is causing climate change? It seems that the main cause is the huge amount of greenhouse gases, such as CH4 and CO2, but the real reason for this is that the world’s population increases and more land is needed to provide food and energy. Burning fossil fuels for heating, lighting, transport, electricity or manufacturing produces CO2. By cutting down trees, we are increasing the amount of Co2 and reducing the amount of oxygen. As a result of human activities, CO2 levels are now at their highest in 800, 000 years.
The biggest challenge we all face is to prevent further environmental disasters. We must do something before it is too late. We need to reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. We need to stop burning fossil fuels and start using renewable energy. We can get enough energy from renewable fuels, such as solar energy or wind power to stop using fossil fuels completely.

27、 Today, with the increasing use of social media, teachers and students have greater access to one's personal history than ever before.
While social media users in education argue that teacher-student connection on social networks are harmless, Carole Lieberman, a psychiatrist (精神科医生) in Beverly Hills, Calif., believes any one-on-one private relationship out of the classroom begs for improper behavior to begin. Iris Fanning, a family-counseling provider ( 家庭关系咨询师) for school districts in Albuquerque, N.M., says major concerns arise when students begin to see teachers as friends. “When I entered education, there was a clear wall of boundaries ( 边 界 ) between students and teachers,” Fanning says. “You still have to have those boundaries, and I think we've got away from that.”
In response to some of the possible threats of social media, some school districts are now limiting after-school dialogue between students and teachers.
“I think teachers should be allowed to add us on social media because that's how we communicate,” says Brown, a high school senior in Ohio, who hasn't befriended any of her teachers on social networks. “But I also think that some teachers would cross the line. I do agree that it needs watching over but they shouldn't be cut off completely.”
Most recently, in Missouri, the state passed Senate Bill 54, which bans students and teachers from having any connections on social media. The bill was created as a strong measure to protect children from entering into improper relationships with teachers. Dave Childers, head teacher at ACEL Fresno Charter High School in California, says it's disheartening to see laws that limit the ability for teachers to connect with students through social media. “We could go as far as saying teachers shouldn’t be allowed to coach sports or advise a club, because when you do that you have extra connections and stronger relationships,” he notes.
【1】One-on-one private teacher-student connection may give rise to concerns because it .
A. highlights teachers’ role as friends
B. encourages the threats of social media
C. clouds the necessary teacher-student boundaries
D. places fewer responsibilities on teachers than before
【2】Sami Brown would probably agree to in teacher-student connection.
A. ban social media B. move across the dividing line
C. keep an eye on social media users D. heavily punish improper behaviors
【3】The underlined word “disheartening” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A. shameful B. understandable
C. encouraging D. frustrating
28、 Today, more and more Chinese consumers change the way they purchase products and prefer to make payments via smart devices as mobile apps have made purchases much easier, but security concerns remain, a PwC report said.

The PwC report said over 60 percent of respondents were worried that their personal information was not safe.
Chinese government has introduced a series of policies to strengthen strict supervision (监督). In the meantime, people should avoid scanning QR codes from unknown sources and raise awareness of fraudulence.
The field still has vast space for growth due to technological advances and the rise of the tech-savvy younger generation, the report said, predicting China's retail and consumer product industry will post an annual growth rate of 7.5 percent between 2016 and 2020.

29、
Let’s say you want to hit the gym more regularly this year. How do you make that happen? Consider putting the habit loop to use.
Here’s how it works:
A habit is a 3-step process. First, there’s a cue, something that tells your brain to operate automatically. Then there’s a routine. And finally, a reward, which helps your brain learn to desire the behavior. It's what you can use to create-or break-habits of your own.
Here’s how to apply it:
Choose a cue, like leaving your running shoes by the door, then pick a reward—say, a piece of chocolate when you get home from the gym. That way, the cue and the reward become interconnected. Finally, when you see the shoes, your brain will start longing for the reward, which will make it easier to work out day after day. The best part? In a couple of weeks, you won’t need the chocolate at all. Your brain will come to see the workout itself as the reward. Which is the whole point, right?
【1】Which of the following best fits in the box with a “?” in THE HABIT LOOP?
A．Pick a new cue.
B．Form a new habit.
C．Choose a new reward.
D．Design a new resolution.
【2】What’s the purpose of putting the habit loop to use?
A．To test out different kinds of cues.
B．To do something as a habit even without rewards.
C．To work out the best New Year’s resolution.
D．To motivate yourself with satisfactory rewards.
【3】“This year when I see the Harry Potter poster, I will read 30 pages of an English novel or an English newspaper in order to watch TV for half an hour.” What is the cue in this resolution?
A．The Harry Potter poster.
B．Reading 30 pages of an English novel.
C．An English newspaper.
D．Watching TV for half an hour.
