26、 A new coffee culture is forming in and around San Francisco, California. A growing number of coffeehouses there are barring paper cups. Instead, they are using glass containers or creating “bring your own cup” policies. The movement started among neighborhood cafes in an effort to reduce waste. Now it is gaining support from large businesses in the city—and around the country.
Famous cook Dominique Crenn is opening a cafe in San Francisco next year that will not use to-gabags, throw-away coffee cups or any plastic. Diners who plan to buy a to-go drink from boutique Crenn will be asked to bring their own coffee cups, a spokeswoman said.
The Blue Bottle coffeehouse company uses about 15,000 to-go cups each month at its 70 shops across the U.S. The company recently said it wants to “show our guests and the world that we can get rid of disposable (一次性的) cups”.
Blue Bottle plans to stop using paper cups at two of its stores next year. The move is part of a promise to produce “zero waste” by the end of next year.
Larger coffee and fast-food businesses around the U. S. are feeling a sense of urgency (紧急) to be more environmentally friendly, said Bridget Croke. She is with the New York-based investment company Closed Loop Partners. It is working with Starbucks and McDonald’s to develop a substitute (替代品) for the disposable coffee cup.
Today’s to-go cups for hot drinks are not only made from paper, they also have plastic to prevent leaking. This makes them hard to recycle, Croke said. She admitted that it is not likely that large national food and drink companies will stop using disposable cups totally or ask all customers to bring their own.
So, her company is looking for other solutions. In partnership with Closed Loop, Starbucks and McDonald’s paid $10 million to develop the “single-use cup of the future”. The result is expected to be recyclable and to break down naturally.
【1】What does the underlined word“barring”in the first paragraph mean?
A.Using. B.Inventing. C.Improving. D.Banning.
【2】What do boutique Crenn and Blue Bottle have in common?
A.They will desert throw-away cups.
B.They’ve decided to improve service.
C.They want to attract more customers.
D.They will open some new coffee shops.
【3】Why are traditional to-go cups bad for the environment?
A.They are made from wood.
B.They are needed in great quantity.
C.The hard to recycle.
D.They encourage people to drink more coffee.
【4】What do Starbucks and McDonald’s aim to do in the future?
A.Refuse to offer cups to consumers.
B.Invent environmentally friendly cups.
C.Run together with another company.
D.Spend a lot on the development of new coffee.
27、 For more than 60 years, Lego bricks (乐高) have sparked children's imaginations. Now, a new version of these toys is in the works. They’re Lego Braille Bricks, and they’re being tested around the world.
Lego Braille Bricks are designed to help people learn Braille. That’s a system of writing in which letters are represented by raised dots. People who are blind or visually impaired use their fingertips to read it.
According to the World Health Organization, 36 million people worldwide are blind. In the United States, it’s estimated that only 10% of blind children learn Braille. Lego Braille Bricks can help change that. The small dots on the bricks are arranged as Braille letters. Blind children can use these dots to learn Braille.
Lego plans to launch Braille Bricks next year. For some schools and institutions, Braille Bricks will be free. Each will contain about 250 bricks. Along with the alphabet, the bricks will feature numbers and math symbols.
The Danish Association of the Blind was one of the first organizations to come up with the idea of using Lego bricks to teach Braille. Thorkild Olesen is the president of the group. Olesen is blind. He says many teachers don’t have the tools and skills to help kids learn Braille. So they teach with audio tools, such as audio books. “Like any other people, we need to express ourselves in writing,” Olesen said. “Audio is great. But it can never replace Braille. Braille is the single most important tool for us in order to learn to spell correctly, write, and gain literacy like sighted people.”
【1】Braille is .
A.a new toy for blind children.
B.a new version of Lego bricks.

【4】Which of the following sentences is WRONG according to the article?
A.In the US, one in ten blind children learn Braille.
B.Lego will send Lego Braille Bricks to some schools for free.
C.Lego Braille Bricks will help more blind children learn Braille.
D.Many teachers are now teaching Braille with Lego Braille Bricks.
28、 NEW YORK—Women are now as likely to use the Internet as men--about two-thirds of both genders(性别)--yet a new study shows that gaps remain in what each sex does online.
American men who go online are more likely than women to check the weather, the news, sports, political and financial information, the Pew Internet and American Life Project reported Wednesday. They are also more likely to use the Internet to download music and software and to take a class.
Online women, meanwhile, are bigger users of e-mail, and they are also more likely to go online for religious information and support for health or personal problems.
“For men, it's just, 'Give me the facts',” said Deborah Fallows, who wrote the report based on six years of Pew surveys. “For women, it's 'Let's talk about this. Are you worried about this problem? ' It’s keeping in touch and connecting with people in a richer way.”
About two-thirds of the 6,403 adults surveyed by Pew during 2005 said they use the Internet. By gender, it was 68 per cent of the male respondents(调查对象), and 66 per cent of the female participants－a statistically insignificant difference given the study's margin of sampling error (误差幅度) of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
In 2002, by contrast, the gap was slightly larger: 61 per cent vs. 57 per cent.
The surveys find that for many activities, such as getting travel information or looking up a phone number, men and women are equally likely to use the Internet.
【1】Where can we read the passage?
A.A daily paper. B.A magazine. C.An advertisement. D.A survey.
【2】In which way do men use the Internet as much as women do?
A.Checking the sports information. B.Downloading music.
C.Taking a class. D.Getting travel information.
【3】Which is Deborah Fallows' opinion?
A.Men care about facts while women don't care about facts.
B.Men pay more attention to the result while women the process.
C.Men don't like to communicate with people while women like to connect with people.
D.Men are cold while women are enthusiastic.
29、Perhaps you’ve heard the old saying “curiosity killed the cat.” It’s a phrase that’s often used to warn people—especially children—not to ask too many questions. 【1】 In fact, research has shown that curiosity is just as important as intelligence in determining how well students do in school.
Curiosity can also lead us to make unexpected discoveries, bring excitement into our lives, and open up new possibilities. 【2】 For example, one day in 1831, Michael Faraday was playing around with a coil(线圈) and a magnet(磁铁) when he suddenly saw how he could produce an electrical current. At first, it wasn’t clear what use this would have, but it actually made electricity available for use in technology, and so changed the world.
【3】On one level, this is because technology has become so advanced that many of us are unable to think too deeply about how exactly things work anymore. While it may be possible for a curious teenager to take a toaster apart and get some sense of how it works, how much do you understand about what happens when you type a website address into a browser? Where does your grasp of technology end and the magic begin for you?
In addition to this, there’s the fact that we all now connect so deeply with technology, particularly with our phones. The more we stare at our screens, the less we talk to other people directly. 【4】Then we feel we know enough about a person not to need to engage further with them.
The final—and perhaps most worrying—way in which technology stops us from asking more has to do with algorithms, the processes followed by computers. As we increasingly get our news via social media, algorithms find out what we like and push more of the same back to us. 【5】Perhaps the real key to developing curiosity in the 21st century, then, is to rely less on the tech tools of our age.
A．It is still not known why learning gives us such pleasure.
B．We are always encouraged to challenge our pre-existing beliefs.
C．Yet it’s widely agreed that curiosity actually makes learning more effective.
D．All too often we accept the images of people that social media provides us with.
E．However, curiosity is currently under the biggest threat, coming from technology.
F．In science, basic curiosity-driven research can have unexpected important benefits.
G．That means we end up inside our own little bubbles, no longer coming across new ideas.
