26、Many people list hiccups (嗝) as one of the most annoying problems which are associated with being human. For a group of people, continuous hiccups can seriously harm the quality of life. In the year 2017, the question “What causes hiccups?” was one of the most searched medical questions. That’s how much of an issue these hiccups are and it also reflects that this problem is so widespread in our daily life.
Dr. Ali Seifi, a professor of the University of Texas, was tired of the traditional methods which are used to remove hiccups, like drinking water or varying breathing techniques. He then came up with the idea that a straw (吸管) could help interrupt hiccups. The straw, which is named HiccAway, requires more suction (吸) power than regular straws in order to draw up liquid. Drinking with this straw can lower the diaphragm (隔膜) while first opening it and then closing it. Doing so stimulates the nerves at the same time, allowing the brain to reset and stop the hiccups.
Dr. James Alvarez of the University of Texas gathered 249 volunteers to use the straw and report back their results. When it comes to the effectiveness, this straw received a score of 4.58 out of 5. About 90% of the participants marked it as more effective than traditional home methods. A majority of the participants reported several occasions when they always suffer from hiccups. 53 reported that they suffered from hiccups weekly and about 11 participants reported daily hiccups issues. The frequent sufferers reported success rates were as high as people who hardly suffer from them.
Some people are convinced that how to interrupt hiccups is an issue in which placebo effect (安慰剂效应) could likely work. A lot of people swear that their own solutions do not end up working for others. It is not clear how this trial could be conducted in a more scientific way.
【1】Why does the author mention the question in paragraph 1?
A．To show the possible causes of hiccups.
B．To show the terrible effects of hiccups.
C．To prove hiccuping is common in our life.
D．To prove people are concerned about health.
【2】What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about HiccAway?
A．Its working principle.
B．Its wide popularity.
C．Its experimental result.
D．Its process of producing.
【3】What was the participants’ reaction to HiccAway?
A．It led to more hiccups for one-fifth of them.
B．It was thought highly of by the majority of them.
C．It had no effect on removing hiccups for most of them.
D．It helped 11 of them completely get rid of daily hiccups.
【4】What can we infer about the study from the text?
A．Less volunteers should be involved in the study.
B．The study has caught people’s attention on hiccups.
C．Many people are believing hiccups can be cured easily.
D．There has been no well-recognized cure for hiccups so far.
27、If you are a fruit grower — or would like to become one — take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around. It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.
Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the knobbly (多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.
There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.
At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.
Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards (果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.
【1】What can people do at the apple events?
A．Attend experts’ lectures.
B．Visit fruit-loving families.
C．Plant fruit trees in an orchard.
D．Taste many kinds of apples.
【2】What can we learn about Decio?
A．It is a new variety.
B．It has a strange look.
C．It is rarely seen now.
D．It has a special taste.
【3】What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．A practical idea.
B．An unrealistic hope.
C．A brilliant plan.
D．A selfish desire.
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To show how to grow apples.
B．To introduce an apple festival.
C．To help people select apples.
D．To promote apple research.
28、In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly，believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity.Others say that competition is bad；that it sets one person against another；that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self worth relied (依赖)on how well they performed at tennis and other skills.For them，playing well and winning are often life and death affairs.In their single minded pursuit(追求)of success，the development，of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However，while sonic seem to be lost in die desire to succeed，others take an opposite attitude.In a culture which values only die winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society.Teaching these young people，I often observe in them a desire to fail.They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success.By not trying，they always have an excuse：“I may have lost，but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.”What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost，that would mean a lot.Such a loss would be a measure of their worth.Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves.Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others.Both are afraid of not being valued.Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.
【1】What does this passage mainly talk about?
A.Competition helps to set up self-respect.
B.Opinions about competition are different among people.
C.Competition is harmful to personal quality development.
D.Failures are necessary experiences in competition.
【2】Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?
A.It pushes society forward.
B.It builds up a sense of duty.
C.It improves personal abilities.
D.It encourages individual efforts.
【3】The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means .
A.those who try their best to win
B.those who value competition most highly
C.those who are against competition most strongly
D.those who rely on others most for success
【4】What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?
A.One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.
B.One’s success in competition needs great efforts.
C.One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.
D.One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.
29、Over the past few years, China’s aerospace industry has witnessed many landmark events. Apart from celebrating these scientific achievements, the public has also developed a growing interest in the missions’ unique names, of which many are derived from China’s myths and legends.
China’s spacecraft are called Shenzhou. This literally means “heavenly ship” in Chinese, and is also a homonym for the Chinese words “divine land”, which is a term used in literary works to refer to the country. China’s moon exploration project and its lunar probe(月球探测器)are both named after a Chinese goddess of the moon,Chang’e. In 2013,the Chang’e-3 lunar probe landed on the moon and was carried around by a lunar rover(月球车)called Yutu. The two names perfectly match the legend of the moon fairy and her pet. In another example,the relay satellite for the Chang’e-4 moon exploration mission is called Queqiao, or “magpie bridge”. The magpie bridge, in a Chinese folk tale, was formed by millions of magpies, so that a separated couple could meet each other despite the Milky Way. Likewise,the Queqiao relay satellite serves as a “space-bridge”for communication between the moon and the earth.
Chinese people’s eagerness for the universe dated back to ancient times, some even tried to explore. Luban, a great inventor living in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, made a flying wood bird. Others created many myths and legends, such as “Kuafu Chases the Sun”, to explain phenomena that they could not explain. These traditional stories have become the source of inspiration for Chinese scientists in the naming of major space missions.
The famous spacecraft and rovers built by the United States include the Challenger,the Opportunity and the Spirit, whose names reflect a positive and enterprising spirit. This is quite unlike how the Chinese name their spacecraft,which reflects the Chinese people’s sense of romance and awe for space as well as their efforts to pass down traditional culture and their ancestors’ spirit of scientific discovery. Nevertheless, all these names, Chinese or foreign, showcase the dreams of humankind and our collective pursuit to discover the secrets of space.
When Apollo 11 prepared to land on the moon, the control center on earth told the astronauts onboard to “watch for a lovely girl with a big rabbit”, which refers to Chang’e and her rabbit Yutu. With the rapid progress of China’s aerospace industry, more and more Chinese stories embodying Chinese romanticism will be shown to the world.
【1】How is paragraph 2 developed?
A．By making comparisons.
B．By describing processes.
C．By giving examples.
D．By analyzing causes.
【2】Why the relay satellite was named “Queqiao”?
A．Because this name can draw public attention.
B．Because this name comes from a Chinese folk tale.
C．Because this name reflects Chinese romanticism.
D．Because this name indicates the function of the relay satellite.
【3】What can we infer from the last three paragraphs?
A．The ancient Chinese explored the space to create myths and legends.
B．Some spaces missions’ names are originated from traditional stories.
C．China and the US name their spacecraft differently because of different pursuits.
D．China’s aerospace industry has changed the world.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Space Missions’ Names.
B．How to name Space Missions?
C．Space Missions’ Names Embody Chinese Romanticism.
D．Chinese Myths and Legends.

31、Vocabulary
When I succeeded in becoming a part-time employee of Nokia China last summer, many friends asked me how I survived the interview.
I once asked myself the same questions. Many of my peers(平辈) also 【1】 for the job, including some very competitive and intelligent students from famous universities.
But why did the interviewer pick me instead of them?
Finally, 【2】 pushed me to ask the interviewers after we became colleagues. The answer was that I appeared confident but humble, responsible and communicative. They evaluated people not just on their academic certificates, but on the base of their 【3】 and abilities. I happened to be the right person.
To be frank, I once felt 【4】 of being a student from an unknown college, and I think this may apply to some of you. I thought my future was ruined. It was only at the time of my successful interview that I finally understood the famous saying --- “You decide where you go.”
A wide range of skills is important these days. I used to work for Master Kong. My job was to cook instant noodles for customers. I had 【5】 it as a piece of cake, but I failed constantly. I had to cook the noodles for the right amount of time to make them taste good. Moreover, the noodles could only remain in a plastic cup of five minutes, or the taste would be 【6】.
This experience taught me never to look 【7】 on anything, and always remain humble.
I also worked as a volunteer for a beach volleyball event. My job was to help foreign visitors experience the beach. I thought it would be very easy because my oral English was 【8】 good. But when I went to talk with a group of foreign guests, I suddenly realized that I did not know a single beach volleyball term. I was embarrassed.
After this, I read notebooks in both Chinese and English every day to learn the terms for facilities and related words. This allowed me to deliver right 【9】 to foreigners, and I was happy to work responsibly.
After these experience, I’m more confident and I strongly believe that my fate is in my 【10】. It has certainly helped me make a giant step closer to my dream of graduating with prospects for the future. I hope my advice will benefit you as well.
32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
A recent survey in the United States has shown that the average family spends more money on its pets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not surprise anyone who has seen the doggy sitting room where loved pets rest comfortably. It is possible that Americans are unique in treating their little friends in this way, but the information we have suggests that the English, too, are kind to their pets.
This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods, which often contain more vitamins than human food. They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, not to mention veterinary (兽医的)bills.
There is a variety of reasons why people find the popularity of British pets concerned. In New York, people have great difficulty disposing of (处理) the mess that dogs leave on the streets. Many people find this funny, but in a number of large cities it is a major problem. Animals can cause disease, too. It is the threat of rabies (狂犬病) —a disease with no known cure — that has made the English government strictly limit animals coming into the United Kingdom.
Another problem is the thoughtlessness of pet owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat, and they continually push their mothers and fathers until they get one. It is only when the “sweet little thing” has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on “Rover” or “Bonzo”. Then they just give it up. This brings me to my last point. Pets, which run free, are often not sweet at all. English farmers lose hundreds of sheep a year, killed by someone's pet and you must have read of children being hurt by someone's pet.
