25、You might like to listen to music while studying. What kind of music is your favorite? An experiment done with British workers found that listening to classical music at work can improve one’s efficiency (效率) by 15%. A study of 2,000 British workers found that half of them often listen to music on the job. Some of their bosses encourage them to do so, while others are against it, believing it hurts their work.

British scientist Becky Spelman did an experiment to find out if background music hurts or improves efficiency. In the study, four office workers were asked to copy two 600-word sets of passages. The group worked on the first set with no music playing and worked on the second set with classical music playing in the background. It took them 20 minutes and 59 seconds to finish the first set. The time for the second set was 17 minutes and 42 seconds.

Classical music can work as a kind of white noise, according to Spelman. “White noise is a mixture of sounds with different frequencies (频率). It can help people stay cool and calm. In fact, as long as the music has a calm beat, it can help us slow our heartbeat and stay calm. This makes it easier for us to work quickly and carefully,” Spelman said.

【1】Some bosses in Britain encourage the workers to listen to music because ________.

A．the workers don’t like their jobs

B．the bosses want to do a study

C．the workers can improve the efficiency

D．the bosses like music very much

【2】What is the same for the workers in Becky Spelman’s experiment?

A．Kind of music.

B．Time of copying.

D．Number of workers.

【3】According to Becky Spelman, white noise is ________.

A．able to help people stay calm

B．a special kind of classical music

C．able to help people work slowly

D．a mixture of different kinds of music

【4】Which of the following could be the best title for the text?

A．Noise brings harm

B．Workers interested in music

C．Music improves efficiency

D．Experiments of music playing

26、   Eating food is enjoyable, but cooking can be challenging. For those who don't have basic cooking skills, or are too busy working or traveling, one thing can save them—— instant noodles.

This year marks the 61st anniversary of the invention of instant noodles. Ever since they were created by Japanese businessman Momofuku Ando in 1958, instant noodles have been popular around the world. In China, the product has almost become a necessity for those who travel by train.

There are some fun facts about instant noodles: The total length of the noodles in one package is 51 meters. The first istant noodles were considered a luxury product. When they first came to Japanese supermart in 1958,they were 6 times the cost of fresh udon noodles. Japanese people even voted instant noodles as one of their best inventions of the 20th century.

For instant noodles, as well as many “instant” foods, convenience is the key selling point. They are supposed to make our lives easier.

. For example, in wars, soldiers eat compressed biscuits and canned meat because they don’t need to cook these foods. And in the 1960s, frozen dinners of fried chicken, mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables became popular in the US. This is because more women started working and had no time to cook.

In recent years, hower, online meal-ordering services have brought challenge to instant foods. Uber Eats is a popular app of this kind in the United States. In China, we have Ele. me, Dianning and Meituan. These services offer not only convenience but also more choices and tastier food. According to the World Instant Noodle Association, instant noodle sales dropped by 17 percent in China as of 2016.

This might show that Chinese people are now more interested in having higher-quality diets and not just simply filling their bellies, experts say.

【1】Which country did instant noodles start from?

A.The UK. B.The US. C.China. D.Japan.

【2】Which of the following is NOT the fun fact of instant noodles?

B.The usage of online-ordering services reduces the sales of instant noodles.

C.The first instant noodles were much more expensive than fresh udon noodles.

D.Japanese people even voted instant noodles as one of the best inventions of the 20th century.

【3】If you need to help your parents order food online in Guangzhou, which app can't you choose?

A.Uber Eats. B.Elc.me. C.Meitan D.Dianping

【4】Which sentence can be put in the beginning of the fifth paragraph?

A.Food trend often reflects changes in society.

C.Many American women didn't like cooking food in the 1960s.

D.Chinese people cared more about filling their bellies than the quality of their diets in the past.

27、Scientists have long believed one way to stop the Earth’s air from warming is by planting more trees. The idea is that more trees will take in or absorb(吸收) some of the CO2 in the air. CO2 is a gas released by cars, factories and other human activities. The gas traps heat in the Earth’s air, which warms the planet. However, two new studies have found that trees may not be as helpful in reducing CO2 as thought.

The first study was done at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Researchers pumped(打气) extra CO2 into a test area where green trees were growing. The trees grew thirty-four percent faster during the first three years. However, in time, the trees slowed to about their normal growth rate. The scientists say this is because trees need other nutrients(营养素), such as nitrogen(氮).

In the second study, researchers from Duke and Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine examined the soil(泥土) around trees. They discovered that as the leaves broke down into the soil, all the carbon was not trapped in the soil. Much of it was let into the air as CO2.

The findings of the two studies were published last month in Nature magazine. They suggest there is limited(有限的) value in planting trees to reduce the CO2 pollution in the air.

Forest planting has been a part of negotiations(谈判) on a world agreement to reduce greenhouse gases that scientists believe cause global warming. The United States, Canada, Japan and some other countries have supported the idea. But this new research suggests the idea is not as effective as environmental activists(积极分子) had thought. Scientist Ram Oren of Duke University led the study on tree growth. He says that earlier estimates(估计) on the ability of forests to absorb CO2 were overly hopeful.

Some other scientists say the research provides some of the first evidence on how trees react(反应) to CO2. Some other scientists say the research disputes(质疑) a belief among some coal and power companies. The companies say that more CO2 in the air will not create harmful global warming. Instead, they say it will increase forests and other plants.

【1】Why did the researchers put trees in extra CO2 in the first study?

A. To learn whether trees can still absorb CO2 under extreme conditions.

B. To get more oxygen from these trees.

C. To know how much CO2 that trees can absorb.

D. To see the effect of CO2 on the growth rate of these trees.

【2】What happened to the leaves falling from the trees in the second study?

A. They broke down and the main parts turned into oxygen.

B. They broke down and the carbon had mainly turned into CO2.

C. They broke down and the carbon was mainly absorbed in the soil.

D. They absorbed more CO2.

【3】Scientist Ram Oren thinks that common beliefs of the tree’s ability to absorb CO2 are __________.

A. just right B. not acceptable

C. a bit too cheerful  D. too dangerous
