26、Have you ever tried asking for respect from another adult?【1】Furthermore, demanding respect from coworkers, family members or business associates is almost out of the question.

In the developmental years, they all need to comprehend kindness, behaving politely and using good manners.【2】They can easily open career doors, maintain good relationships and manage groups of people.
That’s why it pays to teach respectful behavior to children and young adults in your life. These include nieces and nephews, students or younger employees.
Giving and getting respect is the best way to keep society in harmony. How? We don’t waste time in arguing and rocking each other’s boat.【3】

27、 Scientists in Western Australia claim to have made a new discovery—they have found gold in the leaves and twigs of trees. The researchers believe that the trees suck up the gold from deep underground, over 30 metres down. The discovery has been described as the first of its kind in the world. Australian gold exploration companies are pleased because it will make finding gold cheaper. Rather than drilling deep holes to find gold, they have more ways to examine tree leaves and branches. There is only a tiny amount of gold in the leaves. It would take 500 trees to make one gold ring. The gold is found using a special X-ray machine owned by an Australian government agency. A pure X-ray and a powerful microscope scan the leaves and branches.
The claim that this is the first time that gold particles(微粒) have been found in living material might not be true, though. Ancient Chinese wisdom understood the connection between plants and the precious stones and minerals underneath them. They used plant life to find minerals and that was thousands of years ago. In the Zhou Dynasty, it was written in a book that a certain plant grew only near deposits of gold. Over the next 2,000 years, Chinese people wrote about different plants and how they grew, showed where minerals and precious stones such as jade, copper, lead, silver and gold were.
Even more importantly, in the 1,000s, Su Song described how copper, gold, silver, lead and tin were observed and taken from certain plants. These were amazing scientific discoveries. Meanwhile, this knowledge was unknown in the rest of the world until about 1,600. This was when a British man realised that oak trees grew larger and greener where there was alum(明矾) in the ground. Maybe ancient Chinese has more knowledge to teach modern scientists.
【1】What can we know from Paragraph 1?
A.500 dead trees can make one gold ring.
B.The trees can absorb the gold from deep underground.
C.Scientist have found gold 30 meters below underground.
D.The companies find it hard to find gold.
【2】How do scientists find gold in the leaves?
A.By observing the leaves carefully. B.By drilling deep holes.
C.By using a special X-ray. D.By referring to ancient books.
【3】Who first discovered that there was connection between plants and minerals?
A.Ancient Chinese people. B.Su Song.
C.Australian scientists. D.A British man.
【4】What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To introduce two great scientists in ancient times.
B.To provide more evidence to support the writer’s opinion.
C.To show how ancient people got gold from certain plants.
D.To prove that ancient Chinese has more knowledge than modern scientists.
28、Dodder is an unusual and unwanted plant that attacked other plants. Except for its flower, the plant looks like spaghetti, a kind of noodles in the shape of long thin pieces that look like string when they are cooked. Its almost leafless, thread-like stems hang down on top of other plants that dodder needs to stay alive. Dodder does not produce its own food. Instead, it steals food from other plants. It feeds by sucking juices from the plant which is wrapped around, often making its host very weak or even killing it.
Dodder can find other plants by their smell. When a young dodder plant starts growing, it follows the smell of plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm crops. Unlike most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant will grow in the direction of , for example, tomato smell-if a tomato happens to be growing nearby.
However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly. It no longer needs its root once it is attached to the host and wrapped around it. If it cannot catch a smell of potential host within a few days, it will dry up and vanish even if there is plenty of water around. Once it finds a host, the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster. At that point the dodder plant will drop its root.
Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers. When it does get out of hand, dodder can greatly reduce a farmer’s harvest or even destroy crops completely. Before sowing their produce, especially farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make sure no unwanted dodder seeds have mixed with their crop seeds. This is a good way to stop dodder plants from making their way to a crop field secretly.
【1】Why does the author mention spaghetti in the first paragraph?
A.To analyze the content of some food.
B.To introduce the topic of this passage.
C.To tell the usage of the dodder plants.
D.To describe the shape of dodder plants.
【2】What does the underlined word “vanish” in the third paragraph mean?
A.invade
B.grow
C.escape
D.disappear
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Dodder doesn’t produce its own food.
B.Dodder gives off smell to attract plants.
C.Dodder can affect farmer’s income.
D.Dodder can only survive in the shade.
【4】What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce a new variety of farm crops.
B.To introduce plants that are harmful to humans.
C.To introduce the special abilities of a dangerous plant.
D.To introduce recent improvements in farming methods.
29、To make sure of greener development, China will combine efforts in environmental protection and ecological restoration according to the country’s newly approved guideline for environmental protection, part of the 13th FiveYear Plan (2016—2020).
China surpassed its goal in environmental protection for the 12th FiveYear Plan (2011—2015), with carbon intensity dropping by 20 percent (the intended target is 17 percent). It is a major contribution to worldwide efforts against climate change, officials said.
The new guideline stresses efforts to restore nature while reducing industrial damage to the environment. The goal is to achieve a more environmentally friendly way of living, considerable reduction in major pollutant emissions and a sounder ecological system by 2020. A good environment is a necessary part in improving people’s living standards, officials said.
Statistics of a report from several Chinese universities show that more than one third of the country’s industrial waste water flows directly into rivers and lakes. Water pollution within China has affected the environment, society and agriculture. It has resulted in huge economic losses. Air pollution is also one of the major problems in China. Heavy haze usually covers North and East China. Environmental issues are becoming a barrier to China’s development. Besides, heavy metal pollution in soil in China is so serious that it requires us to act immediately. 10 percent of the total farmland of China has heavymetalpolluted soil. The heavy metal in soil will enter into humans’ food chain through grain and agricultural products.
The rapid industrialization of agriculture, expansion of the chemical industry, and the need to produce cheap forms of energy have caused the continuous release of manmade organic chemicals into natural ecosystems. The guideline focuses on ecological restoration by controlling more types of pollutants than before.
【1】According to the passage, the guideline ________.
A.is part of the 12th FiveYear Plan of China
B.aims to improve Chinese people’s living standards
C.calls for worldwide efforts against climate change and pollution
D.focuses on environmental protection as well as ecological restoration

D.realized
【3】What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.The huge influence of serious pollution on China.
B.The current situation of environmental pollution in China.
C.China’s achievement in fighting pollution in recent years.
D.Measures the Chinese government takes to deal with pollution.
【4】What can we know from the passage?
A.Most cities in China suffer serious air pollution.
B.Water pollution is the biggest problem compared with other kinds of pollution.
C.More types of pollutants should be controlled to restore ecosystems.
D.Reducing carbon emissions is the chief goal of the 13th FiveYear Plan.
