26、Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.
Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.
Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.
Exploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin –offs of space exploration. The technical improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems have long been in effect.
While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.
【1】What might be the key to those questions mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A.Humans’ nature.
B.Knowledge.
C.Civilization.
D.Potential dangers.
【2】Which of the following can best replace “spin-offs” underlined in paragraph 4?
A.Applications.
B.Shortcomings.
C.Advantages.
D.Gains.
【3】In which situation may this text be applied properly?
A.A private conversation.
B.A class presentation.
C.A cartoon picture.
D.A fashion review.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.How Knowledge Benefits Us
B.What Humans Spread for
C.Why to Explore Space
D.How Humans Save Ourselves
27、Exams make us anxious. The silence of the hall; the ticking of the clock; the proud expression of the person sitting at the neighboring desk who has finished 15 minutes early. It therefore seems hardly surprising that those who worry about taking tests do worse than those who do not.
What is, perhaps, surprising, according to research recently published by Maria Theobald, is that it is not the pressure of the exam hall which causes the problem. It is the pressure of review.
Dr. Theobald worked with 309 students who were preparing for their final state exam, the most important that they take. During the 100 days before that, the students used a digital-learning platform which presented them with old exam questions and recorded their performance. They also sat a mock exam (模拟考) 40 days before the real thing. To know their levels of anxiety, they were asked every day including the days of the mock and the real exam to give themselves 1-5 points to questions like “How much do I feel tense and nervous?”
Dr. Theobald found that anxiety on the day of the test did not predict exam performance at all. What predicted it was the level of knowledge a student showed in the mock and the earlier digital-learning activities. Those who performed well in these also did well in the real thing, no matter how anxious they were on the day. What actually affected students, it turned out, were high levels of anxiety during the weeks before the exam took place. The greater a student’s anxiety on the days before the exam, the lower his or her knowledge-gain was during that period, leaving that student with less material to review during the exam itself.
To reduce the anxiety, Dr. Theobald proposes a two-fold strategy for students. First, they can raise their belief in their own abilities by reminding themselves of just how much they know. Second, they can decrease the importance of the test by reminding themselves that, while it is important, it is not a life-or-death situation.
【1】What causes bad exam results according to the research?
A.The noisy clock.
B.The stressful review.
C.The silent classroom.
D.The annoying neighbor.
【2】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.Research process.
B.Research findings.
C.Research background.
D.Research significance.
【3】On which day(s) does anxiety affect exam performance the most?
A.The day of the real exam.
B.The day of the mock.
C.The days before the real exam.
D.The days before the mock.
【4】What does Dr. Theobald advise us to do to overcome exam anxiety?
A.Prepare a lot for exams.
B.Build up self-confidence.
C.Attach significance to tests.
D.Remind ourselves of the time.
28、In China,many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities,because the countryside is much poorer than the city,and often there isn’t much work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.
But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris,people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt of the city,and they are tired of the crowded streets,crowded trains and buses. They don’t want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there. So they move out of the cities. Some don’t go very far,just to the towns near the cities. Other people move to the real countryside with sheep,cows and green fields. There,they start new lives and try to make new friends.
Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years,many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don’t make so much money and there isn’t much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and aren’t always very friendly. As a result,quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. “It’s wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights,” they say.
【1】Which is NOT the reason for people moving to the cities in China?

29、 Most heroes are not super. They don’t appear in comic books, on television, or in movies. They just do what they believe needs to be done to make their world a better place. Bike Batman is one of them.
Bike Batman is a 30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle, Washington. He’s a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby.
About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often does, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when they’re taken. The bike, which he was considering purchasing, clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index.
Then he called the person who claimed(声称) to be the bike’s owner and arranged to meet him— supposedly to complete the sale. When the two men met, Bike Batman told the thief, “You’ve got two choices. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just get out of here.” You can imagine what the thief did.
After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has confirmed it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been caught. In one case, Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized belongings that suspects(嫌疑犯)had stolen during a home burglary.
His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called “Robin Hood”. Since he wasn’t exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, “Batman” seemed a better fit. The idea of a superhero punishing criminals feels pretty silly to him, but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattle’s fame as a friendly city.
【1】Bike Batman is .
A.a superhero B.a website manager
C.a Seattle citizen D.a police officer
【2】When Bike Batman discovers a questionable bike, he will first .
A.contact the owner of the stolen bike B.look up the bike’s information
C.call the police department D.arrange to meet the thief
【3】Bike Batman helps find the lost bikes to .
A.become famous B.help poor people
C.punish bike thieves D.build a friendly city
【4】From the passage, we can learn that .
A.Bike Batman felt relieved to see the thieves caught
B.Bike Batman began his good deeds by accident
C.the police failed to perform their duties
D.the thieves refused to return the bikes
