26、The year 2009 is the Year of Ox. The ox is a representative of the farming culture of China. In the farming economy (经济), oxen are the major animals pulling plows (犁).
Of course, the good of oxen is not limited to plowing. In fact, they are seen as “boats on land” for their ability to carry loads. Besides, the whole body of an ox is full of treasures. Their meat and milk are food full of nutrition, and their skin can be used to make clothes and shoes. With all these qualities, oxen are regarded as generous creatures.
In the past, oxen played an important role in the spiritual life of the Chinese. Even today, oxen still play a special part in some folk activities. For example, some people who live in southwest China will cook cattle bone soup and share it among family members when holding the ceremony for children who reach 13. They believe that the cattle bone soup represents the blood relationship among family members. In order to express their love for oxen, people in some other areas will run to shake off diseases on the 16th day of the first month by the lunar calendar (农历), and during their run they will take their oxen along, which indicates they regard the creature as human.
Because of the contribution of oxen in their lives, the Chinese people are very grateful to the animal. In addition, the use of oxen in ceremonies and the thanks people owe to oxen help to develop various traditional customs, which becomes an important part of the folk culture of the Chinese nation.
【1】The words “boats on land” underlined in Paragraph 2 refer to ________.
A．animals for taking goods
B．creatures for pulling plows
C．treasures of the folk culture
D．tools in the farming economy
【2】From the third paragraph, we know that ________.
A．oxen are no more important today than in the past
B．ceremonies are held when people cook cattle bone soup
C．oxen are treated as human in some areas of China
D．people run with oxen to shake off diseases every month
【3】Which of the following helps to develop traditional customs?
A．The special role of oxen in frowning.
B．People’s respect and love for oxen.
C．The practical value of an ox's body.
D．The contribution of oxen to the economy.
【4】Why does the author write the text?
A．To stress the importance of oxen in farming.
B．To introduce the Chinese folk culture.
C．To describe how to celebrate the Year of Ox.
D．To explain how to develop agriculture with oxen.
27、About one in four people is afraid of flying. Every time there is a plane crash on the news, more people become afraid.
For most of them, the fear goes away with time. When they have to fly, they try not to think about the danger, and they may have a few drinks or take some medicine in order to feel better.
【1】 But with the smallest problem they become very anxious. Other people, however, become very anxious just thinking about planes. If they get on a plane, they can become ill from fear.
【2】 Flying in a plane is much less dangerous than riding in a car. Airline companies check their planes carefully before every flight. If the pilot thinks there is any problem with the plane, he doesn’t take off. This means that accidents are very unlikely. 【3】
These people can be divided into two groups. In the first group are the people who are afraid of falling out of the sky. They think about all the bad things that could possibly happen to a plane high in the sky. In the second group are the people who are afraid of closed places. People with this fear never want to be in places like elevators (电梯) or planes. 【4】 They fear that they won’t be able to get out if anything happens in such a closed place.
Some fearful travelers decide not to travel by plane at all. They use only cars, buses, trains, or boats. Other people, however, have to travel by air for work. 【5】 Doctors and scientists say it’s not easy, but it is possible.
A．The plane feels terribly small to them.
B．In reality, there are very few plane accidents.
C．But these facts don’t matter to those who are afraid.
D．If there are no problems during the flight, they’re fine.
E．In this case, they must find a way to get over their fear.
F．People really don’t need to think about when accidents will happen.
G．As a result, travelling by plane has become a terrible challenge to them.
28、Do you experience worse car sickness in electric cars than in petrol cars? You’re not alone - and when it comes to self-driving cars, it may be even worse.
Although scientists aren’t exactly sure what causes motion sickness, it has to do with passengers losing the ability to predict future movements. When you read a magazine in a car, your eyes will signal to your brain that the car is not moving. However, your brain will recognize the vibrations (振动) and turns that the car makes. This can confuse the mind and make you start to feel sick.
As for electric cars, one-pedal (单踏板) driving is often linked to feelings of car sickness, according to the US Department of Energy. The one pedal does both the accelerating (加速) and braking (刹 车) - the driver steps on the pedal to increase speed and takes their foot off the pedal to slow down. If you stop accelerating, the one-pedal will automatically slow and stop the car. The deceleration caused by this system is thus more rapid than that of petrol cars, which may lead to motion sickness.
Another technological advance that can also be related to car sickness is the larger and increasing number of screens inside vehicles. These screens overburden users with visual information, which discourages them from looking outside, according to The Conversation. Passengers thereby lose their ability to take in the “correct” visual signals, such as the moving surroundings, which can lead to sickness.
Unfortunately, even when people get used to the movements of electric cars and experience less car sickness, self-driving vehicles might be another challenge for them. According to a 2015 study, as much as 12 percent of the US population may feel carsick while riding in autonomous vehicles.
To ensure the widespread usage of new types of vehicles, car producers are working to solve such problems with better technology. For example, Japanese company Honda is working on reducing the car’s “violent (猛烈的) ”acceleration by making changes to the engine, said Car Magazine.
【1】What is the possible cause of passengers experiencing motion sickness?
A．Lack of visual signals in the car.
B．Unpredictable movements of the car.
C．Inability to sense vibrations and turns.
D．The brain’s confusion about movements.
【2】What makes electric cars more likely to cause car sickness than petrol cars?
A．Their unique driving mode.
B．Their slow way of braking.
C．Their violent acceleration.
D．Their constant pedal adjustment.
【3】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．Potential dangers of placing screens in cars.
B．A technology to reduce car sickness.
C．A design aspect in vehicles that causes car sickness.
D．Passengers’ different responses to car sickness.
【4】What is Honda doing to improve its cars?
A．Developing a more powerful engine.
B．Reducing their cars’ deceleration time.
C．Making the cars’ acceleration smoother.
D．Adding more automatic adjustment features.
29、 More than two thirds of the world's polar bears will be wiped out by 2050, according to a shocking new study. By then, scientists say, global warming will have melted 42 percent of the Arctic sea ice. By 2100, only a very few of these important creatures will be left.
The report has been produced by the US Geological Survey. The scientists have publicized their findings in the hope of influencing US Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne, who has been asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.
Polar bears depend on floating sea ice as a platform for hunting seals, which are their main food. Without enough ice, polar bears would be forced to go onto the land, where they are poorly skilled hunters, and would be unlikely to adapt to the life on the land in time. Experts say few little bears would survive and the stress could make many females unable to get pregnant.
The team of American and Canadian scientists spent six months studying bears, on the ground, from spotter planes and in the lab, using computer models. Some team members fear the result is even worse for the bears than what their report says. They say the Arctic is warming faster than anywhere in the world and much faster than their computer had been forecasting. Satellite observations have showed that the ice has decreased to an alltime low.
However, not everyone in the scientific community believes that global warming is happening on such an alarming scale. Another investigation has found that polar bears are still being hunted by wealthy “sportsmen” who want their skins and heads. At least ten international companies offer bearhunting trips.
【1】What do we know about Dirk Kempthorne according to the passage?
A．He is an animal scientist.
B．He is a protector of animals working for the US government.
C．He was asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.
D．He offered to put polar bears on the endangered species list.
【2】Why will polar bears die out if there is not enough sea ice?
A．Because polar bears can't catch enough food without ice.
B．Because polar bears eat ice when they feel thirsty.
C．Because polar bears will be easily found by hunters without ice.
D．Because most female bears are used to giving birth under ice.
【3】What is this passage mainly about?
A．Global warming makes the whole world different.
B．Human beings are responsible for the endangered species.
C．Most of the polar bears will be wiped out by the end of this century.
D．Scientists have found that most animals in the Arctic will die out by the end of this century.
