27、 Leap days（闰日）play an important role in keeping our calendars on track. It's all thanks to Julius Caesar.
Most years, the calendar is made up of 365 days. However, the Earth's turning around the sun is actually a little longer than that. It's about 365 1/4 days. This makes the calendar year a bit shorter than a solar year. If you're trying to set up an exact system for measuring the passing of time and changing seasons, this throws small trouble in the work. That was back in 46 B. C. when Julius Caesar was developing what came to be known as the Julian Calendar. He decided that every four years an extra day would be added to the calendar on the advice of an astronomer, Sosigenes.
At first, Caesar's way seems simple and direct. You “bank” those extra quarter days for a few years, and then spend them on a leap day. But as the centuries went on, people began to notice something was wrong—it was speeding ahead of the solar year. By the end of the 16th century, the calendar year had been as much as 10 days ahead. The solar year is actually a little shorter than Caesar and Sosigenes thought. “It's not exactly a quarter of an extra day. It's a little less,” says physicist Judah Levine. “So adding one day every four years was too much.”
Astronomers now know that a solar year is actually 365. 24219 days long. This may not seem like much under the Julian Calendar, but that little mistake led to about 11 minutes off a year. So in 1582, Pope Gregory decided to reset the calendar. He came up with something called “the century rule”. If the number of years is a multiple（倍数）of 100 and is divisible（可整除的）by 400, and if the number of years is not a multiple of 100 and is divisible by 4, an extra day is added. Pope Gregory was also responsible for setting leap day as February 29.
The calendar won't skip（跳跃）another leap year until 2100. That little setup has kept our calendars fairly accurate（精确的）for over 400 years.
【1】Who first came up with the idea of leap days?
A．Sosigenes.
B．Julius Caesar.
C．Pope Gregory.
D．Judah Levine.
【2】What is the purpose of setting up leap days?
A．To add one extra day to every year.
B．To make the Julian Calendar unique.
C．To teach people a method of saving time.
D．To make the calendar year equal to the solar year.
【3】What's wrong with the Julian Calendar?
A．It couldn't direct people in actual life.
B．It didn't completely agree with the solar year.
C．The calendar year was late more than 10 days.
D．It's not enough to add a leap day every 4 years.
【4】What year is a leap year?
A．1900.
B．1986.
C．2024.
D．2038.
28、 Fish have different personalities which change as they experience life’s highs and lows, according to British biologists.
Researchers identified different “personalities” in their fish by observing the boldness(大胆) or shyness of individuals, according to The Nature. Like people, some fish are very confident in the face of novelty or conflict, while others are silent and fearful.
The scientists selected particularly bold and shy rainbow trout(虹鳟鱼), and tested whether they changed their outlook depending on what life threw at them. They arranged some fish to fight and others to watch to see how both the participants and observers responded to victories and defeats. Winning or losing a fight, or even watching fellow fish overcome the difficulties influenced the future behavior of the creatures studied in the lab.
The researchers made fish compete with much larger or smaller opponents(对手), to ensure that they would win or lose their fights. These bold fish that won their fights tended to be even bolder when later presented with a novel food item; losing their fight caused them to be much more cautious.
Fish also learn by watching others. Bold fish watching a shy fish exploring a mystery object were much more nervous when later given a novel item for themselves.
Predictably, shy fish that won a fight also gained more confidence, but surprisingly, shy fish that lost their fights also grew bolder when exploring strange new food, Sneddon said, adding that this could be due to what she calls a “desperado effect”(亡命徒效应).
The new research suggests that animals can gradually adapt(使适应) their personalities. The results agree with the effects that life experience can have on humans.
【1】The third paragraph of the text is mainly about__________.
A.a conclusion of the research
B.an explanation of fish characters
C.a statement of the experiment
D.a description of fish fights
【2】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Brave fish losing fights become braver when presented with a novel food item.
B.Brave fish watching a shy fish exploring a mystery get less nervous.
C.Shy fish losing fights grow more confident in exploring new food.
D.Losing their fights causes the shy fish to be much more cautious.
【3】What is the main idea of the text?
A.Fish care about winning or losing a fight
B.Fish can learn a lot by watching others.
C.Fish have stress in the fierce fights.
D.Fish have adaptable personalities.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Life experience could change people’s appearances.
B.Life experience could influence people’s personalities.
C.Life experience doesn’t have any effect on humans.
D.Life experience will make people much stronger.
29、The Tokyo Summer Olympics is going green. The 5,000 medals Japan has made are more special than most.
One novel focus of the Tokyo Olympics is to be“sustainable”— to avoid using too many natural resources, so that the games are easy on the environment. As part of this goal, the organizers decided to make all of the Olympic medals out of metal recycled from old electronics.
Almost all electronics are made with small amounts of "precious metals", like gold and silver. But collecting enough of these metals to make 5,000 medals was a huge challenge. That's because the amount of metal in each device is tiny. It would take about 20,000 cell phones to get just 1 kilogram of gold.
Beginning in April 2017, the organizers placed collection boxes around the country, and asked people to turn in their old electronic devices. Soon people began to respond to the initiative, turning in smartphones, digital cameras, hand-held games, and laptops. At first, collection went slowly, but soon more and more areas began to take part. By the end, 1,621 local governments had helped out with the collection process.
Then came the job of breaking those devices down into smaller pieces. After being taken apart and sorted, the small electronics were smelted (熔炼) to get all the gold, silver, and bronze elements. This is a tricky job, which calls for careful attention and good skill. It's also dangerous, because some of the metals and other things aren't safe for people to touch or breathe.
By the end of March, 2019, the organizers had hit their targets of getting enough metal for the medals. They had collected around3xkilograms of gold, 4,100 kilograms of silver and 2,200 kilograms of bronze. And now all the 5,000 medals are available for the would-be winners.

D．unique
【4】What's the purpose of Tokyo's way of making the medals?

Note that there is one word more than you need.
A Bad Idea
Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.
The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.
Who's to【3】 ? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited.
"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".
The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18-to 21-year-olds and a group of 35-to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate【5】into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 【6】message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 【7】.
It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.
The【9】is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and【10】time before they returned to their main tasks.
