27、Press your fingers into the back of your head, just above your neck. If you feel a small bony bump (突起), you may find evidence of human evolution (进化): it could be your body responding to common smartphone use in the 21st century.
According to a recent study, published in Scientific Reports, more young people have bony bumps at the base of their skulls, right above the neck. Medical professionals call them enlarged external occipital protuberances (EEOPs, 枕外隆突).
Australian health scientist David Shahar, the author of the study, told the BBC that he’s seen more and more patients with EEOPs over the past ten years. Together with other researchers from the University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia, they examined 1,200 skull x-rays from people aged 18–30. They also measured the bumps and noted each person’s posture. They found that one in four people had developed these growths. This led to their theory that smartphones are the cause.
According to their research, looking down at our phones adds stress onto the top of our spines (脊柱). To prevent damage to our spines, Shahar believes our bodies add fresh bony bump to help reduce the extra stress.
Most of the EEOPs measured just a few millimeters. However, several subjects were found with EEOPs as large as 30 mm.
In his report, Shahar said the results “highlighted the need” for prevention. In other words, we need to change our posture while using our phones.
Many people assume our bones are solid and unmoving once we reach adulthood. In reality, they are alive and covered with blood vessels(血管), which allows them to develop in unique ways for each person.
Aside from EEOPs, other noticeable recent changes in human bodies include shrinking jaws, narrower elbows and generally smaller skeletons. The human body is adapting to modern life, so who knows what people in the future might look like?
【1】What did the recent study find about EEOPs?
A．They grow on one’s neck.
B．They can lead to many health problems.
C．They may stop growing when you reach 30.
D．They occur among more and more young people.
【2】What is the main cause of EEOPs according to the researchers?
A．Extra stress.
B．Aging bones.
C．Smartphone use.
D．Gene problems.
【3】Which of the following would Shahar probably agree with?
A．EEOPs increase the stress on our spines.
B．EEOPs are actually beneficial to our spines.
C．Young people’s bones adapt in similar ways.
D．Young people should exercise to improve their posture.
【4】What’s the writing purpose of the text?
A．To persuade readers to protect their spines.
B．To explain why human bodies develop EEOPs.
C．To show some recent changes in human bodies.
D．To recommend some healthy habits of using phones.
28、 Getting good at a sport is difficult enough. Mastering one and then reinventing yourself after moving halfway across the world is another story, but Abigail Fernandes is doing just that. The 17-year-old student was a good shooter while studying in Britain. But when she moved back to Hong Kong, China, life suddenly felt a little empty without the eight hours a week of shooting training she’d become used to.
“I decided to go for a sport that might help me get fitter and allow me to protect myself in the future,” she explains. With its high intensity exercise, and chances to build strength, boxing fit the bill perfectly.
“Boxing teaches you patience, but best of all, a hunger to learn,” she said. “The values and lessons the sport teaches you can all be used in both your day-to-day life and education.”
Now, she has been boxing for just a little more than three years and loves the challenges that this sport offers. She trains 10 hours a week with her coach Jim, who has helped her to grow as an athlete (运动员) and a person.
Though she has made great progress, she thinks being able to deal with hits in the ring is her biggest challenge. “When you get hit in the ring, it’s so easy to burst into tears and give up, but this gets you nowhere,” she says. “I want to be able to take hits and accept them. These are skills that can only be learned through countless sessions of sparring (轻拳出击). The first time I sparred I cried, so I’m proud of myself for never turning down a sparring session,” she says.
Abigail says that though her training is pretty boring, she’ll keep practicing as she looks for a competition where she can put her skills to the test. “I have a long way to go,” she says, “but I want to learn everything this sport has to offer!”
【1】When did Abigail start boxing?
A.When she studied in Britain. B.Before she became a shooter.
C.After she came back to China. D.While she traveled half the world.
【2】Why did Abigail decide to box?
A.To protect her family. B.To prove her athletic ability.
C.To earn a living in the future. D.To make her healthy and strong.
【3】What is Abigail’s opinion on boxing?
A.It is too dangerous. B.It is a waste of time.
C.It changes her values. D.It helps her in many ways.
29、 When it comes to modern communication, security is a big concern. It seems like we’re forever hearing about hackers leaking emails, passwords and other important personal information.
But thanks to a breakthrough by Chinese scientists, who won the 2018 Newcomb Cleveland Prize in February, we may soon never have to worry about our data again. With the cutting-edge technology, a revolutionary satellite called Micius makes the information sent and received safer than ever.
So what exactly makes the information sent to and from Micius so secure？Micius is the first satellite of its kind to use quantum key distribution（量子密匙分发）, which uses particles（粒子）that transmit（传输）light to deliver information from one point to another. Currently, it can communicate with two base stations, both of which are located high up in the mountains in two different areas of Tibet, around 1, 200kilometers apart. Data is sent between the satellite and one of the base stations in the form of a ray of light.
This makes it almost impossible for data sent and received using quantum satellite technology to be stolen, as the connection will be broken if someone tries to hack it. “Any eavesdropper（偷听者）on the quantum channel attempting to gain information can be found by the communicating users, "the scientists wrote in the paper.
However, the technology does have a few limitations. For example, the process only works at night, as the information isn’t able to pass through sunlight. And there’s currently only a 10-minute window each day during which Micius can communicate with each of the base stations, according to Xinhua. This is because the satellite and base station need to be close enough to each other for the information to successfully make it to and from outer space.
Despite these small issues, the scientific community across the world has reacted positively to China’s achievements in this groundbreaking project. "This Chinese experiment is a quite remarkable technological achievement, "Artur Ekert, a professor of quantum physics at the University of Oxford, told BBC News.
And Karl Ziemelis, an editor for Nature, told Xinhua, "It’s a witness to China’s investments（投资）and significant efforts in the physical sciences that this group has been able to push research in practical quantum communication technologies to such an astronomical height. ”
【1】Why it is safe to use quantum key distribution to transfer information？
A. The connection will fail if it is hacked.
B. It makes the base stations close enough.
C. It transfers data too fast for it to be stolen.
D. The process often takes place at night.
【2】According to the text, what’s the attitude of the scientific community towards the satellite Micius？
A. It remains unclear whether it will be beneficial or not.
B. It is really an impressive technological breakthrough.
C. It will promote the investment in quantum-related technologies.
D. It doesn’t deserve a lot of attention given its limitations.
【3】What is the main idea of the text？
A. The latest security problems of modern communication.
B. Micius’ effect on the development of modern technology.
C. The wide applications of quantum key distribution in data transition.
D. How Micius works to ensure secure communication and its limitations.

31、
The meaning of silence varies among cultural group. Silence may be 【1】, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every 【2】 with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs. Many native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of 【3】 among people, just at some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore when a person from one of these culture is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be 【4】 is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these culture, silence is a call for 【5】.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with 【6】 among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show 【7】between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority（权威）rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the 【8】 meanings of silence wen they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own persona and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not 【9】 too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing 【10】 of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Many Chinese students have studied English for approximately ten years, but most of them cannot even speak English correctly or fluently. In my opinion, there are several obstacles that have caused this to happen. The main obstacle is fear! Another is the habit of mentally translating from Chinese to English and then to change these thoughts into spoken words and sentences. Many of these difficulties are caused by the way Chinese people study and learn the language.
We must learn to speak as a child does. When we are learning a second language, we need to remember how we learned our native language. Learning to understand and speak a language is one of the first skills a child develops. How does a child learn the language? He listens for a time and then he tries to repeat the words. Parents give great praise for the smallest effort and slightest improvement. Therefore, the child develops courage and is excited about learning. It takes a long time before he knows anything about grammar, spelling or formal sentence structures.
As for language teachers, they should avoid criticism and be very encouraging and generous with praise. Criticism or pointing out faults too often causes students to lose self-confidence and develop a fear of speaking. The best way to motivate a student is using praise.
The most important aspect of speaking is having good self-esteem. Self-esteem is how you feel about yourself. When most Chinese people are asked how their English is, or they are told their English is very good, they immediately respond by saying, "Oh my English is very poor." If you say this to yourself often enough, you will believe it. When someone compliments(称赞) you, just say “thank you”.
