26、As Americans slowly return to the office, they are rethinking their clothing choices at work. After two years of working from home in exercise clothes, many people now want to be comfortable while looking professional in the office. And companies are trying to keep up with the demand for "business comfort" clothing.
Kay Martin-Pence, who works for a drug company, used to wear structured business clothes, like dress pants and blazers(统一服装), and high-heel shoes to work before the pandemic, but now wears comfortable clothes, including stylish jeans and flowing shirts, along with lower-heel shoes.
Adam Galinsky, a social psychologist at Columbia Business School, who studies the connection between what people wear and how they think, said that people will knowingly think about what they will wear to the office. They may compare themselves to others and think about the situation they are in.
Clothing companies also witnessed the changing demand. From January to March of 2022, money from sales of sports pants for office wears increased three times. There is a high demand for comfortable shirts and pull-on pants. The most common kind of shoe for the workplace is sneakers. And sales of dress shoes are 34 percent lower than in 2019.
As more workers want to feel comfortable in their work clothes, some are excited to trick themselves up again. One such worker is 42-year-old Emily Kirchner of Stevensville, Michigan. She said she is spending money on new clothes including blue jeans, shirts, and even blazers. As a mother of a young child, she wants to feel her best when she leaves the house. "It's kind of fun to trick up," Kirchner said. "It's kind of like that back-to-school feeling."
【1】What leads to the changes in clothing choice at work?

A.She differs from others.

C.She is fond of dressing up.

28、Website copywriting involves writing text and copy for websites. 【1】 Commercial websites may require standard sales-style copywriting, while informative or educational websites could require more structured material.
Almost all websites require some type of website copywriting. The material on a website is important not only to attract customers, but also to raise page ranks and create search engine traffic. This means that website copywriting can be somewhat different from regular writing because writers must write for two audiences.
Search engine optimization (SEO) can sometimes be important in website copywriting. SEO refers to the process of creating copy that is tailored toward catching the attention of popular search engines. 【2】.
An understanding of keywords and search engine behavior are important for SEO when writing copy for the web. 【3】 If those keywords are used properly and in the proper places within the article, more traffic will come to the website via a search engine, and the owner of the website could have the potential of making more money.
Website copywriters often have to have both a writing background and a marketing background. A person who is acting as a website copywriter for a site usually needs to be able to write active prose that inspires action. They also need to be able to drive traffic to the site, so that customers can see the products for sale.
Being able to write effective sales copy may also be essential for website copywriting. 【4】 Content has to be well written in order to accomplish its goal, and adherence to standard writing rules is often a prerequisite to a well-written article.
【5】 People browsing the web tend to read differently than people reading a book or a newspaper. So the content must capture their attention quickly and be relatively easy to read, which often involves writing prose that is easily readable. Headings, bullet points, and simple language are often preferred as a result.
A.The type of copy that is required varies depending on the type of website.
B.Online companies may offer informational articles about products and services.
C.Website copywriters have to be familiar with basic grammar, style, and structure rules.
D.Internet copywriting also involves the composition of short headlines or advertisements.
E.Theoretically, the higher the SEO, the higher the number of readers that will be directed to the website.
F.Website copy not only serves the overall function of the website, but needs to capture the attention of readers.
G.This means copy for a website may have to contain certain keywords that people search when looking for something.
29、Some animals in the world have a natural ability that human beings don’t have.
Seals may be able to detect (探测)fish up to 100 m away using only their whiskers (胡须), say scientists. Researchers used an artificial(人造的) fish in their experiment, to create a “trail” in the water that a seal could detect. They described how a trained seal, named Henry, was able to indicate(显示), with a rapid movement of its head, whether the fish moved to the right or to the left.
The study was led by Wolf Hankie of the Marine Science Center at the University of Rostock, Germany. He explained how the seal wore a blindfold (眼罩) and headphones during the experiment to ensure that it could only pick up waves created by the fish with its whiskers. “The animals are actually enthusiastic to wear the mask because it means play time and food rewards,” explained Dr. Hankie.
“We had a small box in the pool to achieve calm water conditions,” he explained. “The seal stayed in the box.” Inside the box, the scientists created a trail with their artificial fish, which was actually a rubber fin (鳍) on a stick that created a trail similar to the swimming motion(运动) of a real fish. They operated the fin from outside the box, moving it from left to right or from right to left. The seal responded to the movement by turning its head in the direction that the fin had moved. The seal was able to sense and indicate the direction in which the fin travelled up to 35 seconds after the movement had stopped.
Dr. Hankie believes that seals may also be able to “analyze” the structure of a trail to “work out” more about its source. He and his colleagues (同事)used different shapes of fin to create different water disturbances. “They seem to be able to detect differences between different shapes, which might even mean that they can make out different species of fish. We had a surprising result from an experiment with one seal following another,” he said. “The trail left by the first seal was two meters wide, and the second following seal was able to stay right in the middle of it, so it seems they can analyze the internal structure of a trail.”
The researchers are now making experiments using live fish to see how closely seals are able to follow their moving path.
【1】The underlined word “trail” means ________.
A.signal
B.mark
C.wave
D.fish
【2】Why did Dr. Hankie and his colleagues use different shapes of fin to create different water disturbances?
A.To make the result more correct.
B.To find out whether the seal could tell different species of fish.
C.To make the seal more enthusiastic and active.
D.To see if the seal could work out their sources.
【3】We can draw a conclusion that seal whiskers are very ________.
A.dull
B.sensitive
C.sharp
D.poisonous
【4】What is the passage mainly talking about?
A.Seals can track(追踪) movements in the water.

31、下列文段直接来自所学的课文。请根据英文首字母提示,填入符合课文含义的词,使到文段意思完整,通顺,符合课文原意。
CULTURE AND CUISINE
The French author Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin once wrote, “Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are. ” Put more simply, this means “You are what you eat. ” Most people today relate this s 【1】 to healthy eating. However, Brillat- Savarin was a 【2】 referring to our personality, character, and c【3】.
Certainly, in many ways this seems to be t【4】. Chinese cuisine is a case in point. P 【5】 to coming to China, my only experience with Chinese cooking was in America, with Chinese food that had been changed to suit American t 【6】. For example, America’s most popular Chinese dish is General Tso’s chicken, which consists of fried chicken covered in a sweet sauce, flavoured with hot red p【7】. This is probably not an authentic Chinese r 【8】, however, so it cannot tell us much about the Chinese. On the other hand, it does tell us a lot about Americans. It tells us, for example, that Americans love bold, simple flavours. And, since the dish was also i 【9】 recently, it tells us that Americans are not a 【10】 to try new foods.
