26、 Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand (消费者需要) for environment friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic and metal container are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.
However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these, “Will this shampoo damage the environment?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”
A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environment safety of a product before they buy it. This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “green”, that is, friendly to the environment.
Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarkets’ products carry labels (标签) to show that the product is green. Some companies have made producing of clean and safe products their main selling points and emphasize (强调) it in their advertising.
The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it.” The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.
【1】It becomes clear from the passage that the driving force (动力) behind the green products is ______.
A.public caring for the environment B.companies’ desire for bigger sales
C.new ways of doing business D.rapid growth of supermarkets
【2】Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Only the productive methods are the cause of the heavy pollution.
B.Manufactures made their products clean with cleaners.
C.In fact, it is the public who made the companies produce green products.
D.Not all the consumers would like green products.
【3】The underlined word “it” in the fourth paragraph refers to ______.
A.a selling point B.the company name
C.a great demand for health foods D.the producing of green products
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.Business and People B.Business Goes Green
C.Shopping Habits Are Changing D.Supermarkets and Green Products
27、 Until now, much of the effort in search for life on the other planets has been on finding liquid water, because most of the extremely important chemical reactions that happen in plants and animals can only take place in the presence of water. And water is very common. In fact, the elements (元素) that make water (hydrogen and oxygen) are the first and third richest chemicals in the universe. This means that we can find water almost everywhere we look, from the surface of planets in our Solar System to the depths of space.
But for life as we know it to exist, it needs a planet where water exists in a liquid state, or its cells (细胞) would freeze or boil away. Earth is the only known planet that stays in a perfect position from our Sun to support water in a liquid state. Astronomers call this perfect distance from a star the “habitable (宜居的)” or “Goldilocks zone”.
Scientists last year discovered that there is liquid water on the Mars, which made a lot of people very excited since finding a world within a star’s habitable zone where liquid water can exist would be a great start to finding life.
Water is also found on the Mercury, and there are vast water oceans on some of Jupiter’s and Saturn’s moons. But we still haven’t found life on the Mars, or any other planet in our Solar System.
Therefore, finding liquid water isn’t enough. We still need to be able to detect other conditions that support life forms (scientists call them “biosignatures”). For example, we have to look into a planet’s atmosphere and see what gasses are in it. If we find a planet with lots of oxygen, we have one more evidence to support the idea that there may be life there. Unfortunately, at the moment, it is not possible for us to detect the biosignatures on Earth-like planets beyond Mars. We have not perfected the technology to do it yet.
【1】What can we know about the planets in the so-called “Goldilocks zone”?
A.They are very cold. B.They are extremely hot.
C.Life might be found on them. D.Water is not common there.
【2】Where have the scientists found liquid water?
A.On the Saturn. B.On the Mars.
C.On the Jupiter. D.On the Moon
【3】What does the author mean in the last paragraph?
A.There is no life form on the other planets.
B.It is impossible for us to detect the other biosignatures.
C.Liquid water is extremely important for plants and animals.
D.We still have a long way to go to find life beyond the Mars.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.The conditions for a livable planet.
B.The importance of liquid water to life.
C.The latest discovery about livable planets.
D.The exploration of life forms on the Mars.
28、While elephants born without tusks (长牙)are not unheard of，they normally form just 2 to 6 percent of the population. However, that is not the case at Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park, where an astonishing 33 percent of female elephants born after the country’s civil war ended in 1992 are tuskless. While that may appear to be just a coincidence, Joyce Poole, an elephant behavior expert, has another theory. The researcher thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evolution of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivory.
Poole says before the country’s 15-year-long civil war, the 100,000-acre park was home to over 4,000 elephants. However, by the time the conflict ended in 1992, about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivory to help finance weapons (武器)and meat to feed the soldiers. Of the less than 200 survivors, over 50 percent of adult females had no tusks. Therefore, it is not surprising that the park’s tuskless elephant population has grown greatly.
This is not the first time researchers have observed a great change in the population of elephants. At Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park and Lupande Game Management Area， areas which were heavily hunted in the 1970s and 1980s, 35% of elephants 25 years or older and 13% of those younger than 25 are now without tusks. A 2008 study published found that the number of tuskless females at the Ruaha National Park in Tanzania went from 10.5 percent in 1969 to almost 40 percent in 1989, largely due to illegal hunting for ivory.
The recent ban on ivory in both the US and China should help get rid of, or at least reduce, elephant hunting. However, scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants with a higher rate of tuskless females, to change the trend.
【1】What is the probable cause of the phenomenon mentioned in Paragraph 1 ?
A．Illegal hunting.
B．Constant farming.
C．A pure coincidence.
D．Natural evolution.
【2】Why did people kill so many elephants during the civil war in Mozambique?
A．To get funds by selling ivory.
B．To develop new weapons.
C．To provide food for local people.
D．To make ivory products.
【3】Which of the following had the earliest record on tuskless elephants?
A．Gorongonsa National Park.
B．South Luangwa National Park.
C．The Ruaha National Park.
D．Lupande Game Management Area.
【4】What does the underlined phrase “the trend” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Elephants facing greater danger.
B．Elephants growing more slowly.
C．Fewer female elephants staying alive.
D．More female elephants being tuskless.
29、Parts of Africa are covered by a dark cloud. But this is no rain cloud. It is a living cloud made of billions of locusts (蝗虫) that are traveling across the continent eating everything in their path.
And now in the battle to stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts. “We think this idea will get more people to take part in the war on the locusts.” said Abdoulaye Ba, from Sud-Fm, a radio station in one of Senegal's worst affected area.
This is West Africa’s biggest locust disaster in 15 years, and it is moving east, causing huge damage to crops. As they move they produce young and increase their number and will soon threaten (威胁) Sudan in the northeast of Africa. Some say it could reach Asia. Experts say the harmful effect on crops in areas already suffering from food shortage and war could cause many people to go hungry. Governments in the areas are not well equipped to fight the pest.
Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough. “We are now treating 6,000 hectares (公顷) per day with pesticide (杀虫剂), but we need to treat 20,000 hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster ,”said Mohamed Abdallahi Ould Babah, director of locust control in Mauritania.
Requests are being made for international aid, which is only way to limit the disaster, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization warned.
【1】By using "dark cloud" to describe locusts in the first paragraph, author of the article .
A．shows the size and speed of the mass of locusts
B．suggests the great damage that locusts can cause
C．warns that locusts would sweep the continent like rain clouds
D．both A and B
【2】The story is mainly about .
A．West Africa's united effort in fighting a disaster
B．the difficulty in controlling locusts
C．how locusts caused great damage to West Africa
D．a struggle to fight against a disaster brought by locusts in West Africa
【3】The locust disaster .
A．would be even more serious in Asia
B．is out of control
C．affected only the warning areas
D．cannot be stopped unless twice as much pesticide is provided for the affected areas
【4】Which of the following is WRONG ?
A．Sud-Fm offers a rewarded for fighting locusts so that more people will join in the effort.
B．Senegal is to the southwest of Sudan .
C．The locusts can cause such damage mainly because it has no natural enemy in West Africa .
D．12 countries affected by locusts have united but still lack pesticide.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Scientists have proved what students have long suspected: Maths equations can actually trigger physical pain.
Regions of the brain linked with the experience of physical 【1】 were activated in those fearful of maths when they were presented with a tough equation, researchers have found. The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 【2】 activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.
However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 【3】 event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 【4】 the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.
“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their paper titled. When Math Hurts. “【5】, this relation was not seen during math performance, 【6】 that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 【7】 math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 【8】 paths. We provide the first neural 【9】 indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.
Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 【10】 or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.”
