26、We already know that eating too much salt can lead to heart disease. But could it also affect our mind? Scientists found that a high-salt diet could cause cognitive impairments（认知损伤）in mice, and it could produce the same effect on humans.
Dr. Costantino Iadecola, director of the Feil Family Brain and Mind Research Institute, said they fed the mice eight to sixteen times their normal salt intake（摄入量）and then tested the mice. After about three months. the mice had a big change in their behaviour. Mice are very curious, and they like to look for new things. However, the tested mice lost the ability to identify a normal object. When the mice were put in their cage and asked to find a quiet spot, they did not remember where the quiet spot was. Then when the mice were building a nest, which is something the mice do daily, they were unable to do so. The research suggested humans would experience a similar response.
Studies have shown Australians eat around double the recommended amount of salt each day, most of it coming from processed food. Dr. Iadecola said the estimated two teaspoons of salt the average Australian eats each day could affect the brain function in the long term. However, the decline might not be as obvious as in the mice who were given extremely high levels of salt. "But probably over years and perhaps decades—as opposed to a few months for the mice even lower levels of salt may have a terrible effect," Dr. Iadecola said.
"High levels of salt cause serious immune（免疫的）changes in the organs in and around the stomach, resulting in an almost autoimmune（自身免疫的）effect on the brain. It is part of a growing body of evidence that we really are what we eat," Bryce Vissel, director of the Centre for Neuroscience at the University of Technology Sydney, said. "Those changes in turn cause all kinds of responses in the body, which over time certainly lead to cognitive impairments.”
【1】Which can describe the tested mice?
A．They remain quiet all day.
B．They became smarter than ever.
C．They forgot some routine things.
D．They were quick at finding objects.
【2】What does the underlined word "decline" in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The bad effect of high levels of salt intake on mice
B．The good effect of high levels of salt intake on mice
C．The bad effect of high levels of salt intake on Australians.
D．The good effect of high levels of salt intake on Australians.
【3】What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?

B．Immune changes brought about by diet.
C．Effects of salt intake on human behaviour.
D．Links between salt intake and brain damage.
【4】What does the text suggest?
A．Brain health counts much

27、In the 1980s, millions of western monarchs gathered in trees from northern California down to western Mexico. Now, their wintering sites are mostly on California’s central coast.
Western monarch butterflies travel south from the Pacific Northwest to California each winter. They return to the same places and even the same trees, where they gather. The monarchs usually arrive in California at the beginning of November. They spread across the country once warmer weather arrives in March.
The western monarch butterfly population has decreased by more than 99 percent since the 1980s. Another monarch population on the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains travels from southern Canada and the northeastern US to spend the winter in western Mexico. Scientists estimate the monarch population in the eastern US has fallen about 80 percent since the mid-1990s.
Monarchs from across the West migrate (迁徙) yearly to about 100 wintering sites along central California’s Pacific coast. One of the best-known wintering places is the Monarch Grove Sanctuary in the city of Pacific Grove.
Pacific Grove, California, known as “Butterfly Town, USA”, has worked for years to help the decreasing monarch population. The city holds a parade to celebrate the butterflies every October. It also bans human interference with the monarchs. The crime carries a $ 1,000 fine.
In 2020, no monarchs appeared in Pacific Grove. But in 2021, an early count found that more than 13,000 of the insects had moved in.
Scientists do not know why the population increased in 2021. But Jepsen, director of Endangered Species at Xerces Society, said it is likely a combination of reasons, including better conditions on their breeding grounds. The non-profit science group Xerces Society carries out the official study every year. Volunteer counters have reported the presence of as many as 50,000 monarchs in the last few weeks.
Monarch butterflies lack legal protection that could keep their territory from being destroyed. Last year, the butterflies were denied federal protection. But the insects are now among the candidates for listing under the federal Endangered Species Act.
【1】What is the text mainly about?
A．Introducing California’s central coast.
B．Revealing the migration and quantity change of monarchs.
C．Attracting more visitors to Pacific Grove in California.
D．Introducing the reason for western monarchs’ migration.
【2】Which word can describe the reason for the sudden rise of monarchs in 2021?
A．Apparent.
B．Unique.
C．Multiple.
D．Mysterious.
【3】What does the underlined word “interference” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．Disturbance.
B．Commitment.
C．Adaptation.
D．Consumption.
【4】What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A．To provide readers with more interesting information.
B．To urge to add more animals into the list of endangered species.
C．To express the author’s satisfaction with protective measures.
D．To introduce the development of legal basis for protecting Monarch butterflies.
28、When you meet someone for the first time, you will form an impression in your mind of that person in the first moment. Your reactions to other people, however, are really just barometers (晴雨表) for how you perceive(理解) yourself. Your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others. You cannot really love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate yourself. We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and tend to dislike those who display those aspects of ourselves that we dislike.
Therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to illuminate (阐明;照亮) more clearly your own feelings of self-worth. Conversely, you can view the people you judge negatively as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.
To survive together peacefully with others, you will need to learn tolerance. A big challenge is to shift your perspective from judgment of others to a lifelong exploration of yourself. Your task is to assess all the decisions, judgments you make onto others and to begin to view them as clues to how you can heal yourself and become whole.
Several days ago I had a business lunch with a man who displayed objectionable table manners. My first reaction was to judge him as rude and his table manners as annoying. When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and asked myself what I was feeling. I discovered that I was embarrassed to be seen with someone who was chewing with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose. I was astonished to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant perceived me.
Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as a protective shield against you becoming like him. Just because I judge my lunch partner as rude does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him. In the same way, extending tolerance to him would not cause me to suddenly begin chewing my food with my mouth open.
When you approach life in this manner, those with whom you have the greatest dissatisfactions as well as those you admire and love can be seen as mirrors, guiding you to discover parts of yourself that you reject and to embrace your greatest quality.
【1】The purpose of the author writing this passage is to advise people to _______.
A．avoid inappropriate manners
B．judge others favorably in any case
C．pay attention to others’ needs and feelings
D．learn tolerance towards others
【2】The underlined word “objectionable” in Paragraph 4 has the closest meaning to __________.
A．disgusting B．disappointing
C．discouraging D．disturbing
【3】According to the passage, the following statements are all true except ______.
A．The moment we see a stranger, our mind forms an impression of that person.
B．We are easily attracted by someone who is similar to us.
C．Our first judgment of a person mostly comes from our personal opinion.
D．You can’t really love or hate others if they are similar to you.
【4】It can be implied from the text that __________.
A．the writer’s first reaction to the man was to judge him as offensive
B．we shouldn’t focus on judging others but should constantly reflect on our own
C．we will need to learn tolerance to co-exist with others
D．the writer didn’t care about other people’s view of him
29、With nearly 40 plays and over 150 sonnets to his credit, William Shakespeare is considered one of the world’s greatest writers. But should Shakespeare get the credit? That is the question that some historians and scholars have posed since the mid-19th century.
Some people believe that Shakespeare didn’t write the plays that bear his name. Shakespeare’s critics (评论家) include several famous people, such as Orson Welles, Sigmund Freud, Mark Twain and Charlie Chaplin.
Historical documents of Shakespeare’s life are quite hard to find. Despite searches by historians over the years, no one has ever found any handwritten notes by Shakespeare.
Shakespeare was born in 1564 as a commoner (平民) who was educated at a free school. With such a humble (卑微的) background and without an advanced education, some people believe Shakespeare couldn’t have written so well about complex political and legal matters.
The first time it was suggested that Shakespeare might not be the author of his works was in 1848. Over the last century, over 70 other people have been suggested as the. “true” author of Shakespeare’s works, including Francis Bacon and Christopher Marlowe. However, the favorite candidate (候选人) as the “true” Shakespeare has been Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl (伯爵) of Oxford. His position as the Earl of Oxford would have given him the necessary knowledge of life in the English court that some people believe the “real” Shakespeare must have had.
William Shakespeare’s supporters, however, point out that some of Shakespeare’s most famous works were published after Edward de Vere’s death in 1604. They also note that Shakespeare’s name is on all of his works. And some writers at that time wrote reviews of his works and mentioned him by name as one of the best writers of his era.
Without a breakthrough discovery of historical documentation, the Shakespeare authorship debate will likely continue into the future. No matter which side of the debate you fall on, you can still enjoy the many fantastic works of Shakespeare...whoever he may be!
【1】What makes some people believe others wrote Shakespeare’s plays?
A．Shakespeare was too busy to write so many works.
B．Shakespeare did not receive a very good education.
C．There are few historical documents of Shakespeare’s life.
D．Some of the plays were published before Shakespeare was born.
【2】Who was believed to be the most likely author of Shakespeare’s works?
A．Orson Welles.
B．Christopher Marlowe.
C．Sigmund Freud.
D．Edward de Vere.
【3】What evidence is there that Shakespeare wrote his own plays?
A．There is the name of Shakespeare on these plays.
B．Shakespeare was well-known for these plays in his lifetime.
C．Shakespeare had a good knowledge of life in the English court.
D．Lots of famous people at the time spoke highly of Shakespeare’s plays.
【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards the argument?
A．He firmly believes that Shakespeare wrote his own plays.
B．He thinks that the plays were not written by Shakespeare.
C．He is uncertain whether Shakespeare wrote his own plays.
D．He cares about who really wrote Shakespeare’s plays.
