26、Unsolved Mysteries About the Planet Earth
♦ Mystery 1: Where did all the water come from?
Water covers 70 percent of Earth’s surface and earns it the nickname “the blue planet”. But where did it come from? The most popular scientific theory states that the H2O came from several violent asteroids (小行星) filled with ice. Another suggests that the water actually has been around since Earth’s formation. However it happened, though, it’s certainly worked out well for Earth’s life forms.
♦ Mystery 2: What about all the oxygen?
Another thing is the planet’s oxygen. Tiny creatures released oxygen as a waste product, filling the atmosphere with it. After that, the level of oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere went wildly up and down until it finally calmed down around 540 million years ago. Since then, it’s remained at about the breathable level we experience today. But what caused it to be suddenly steady?
♦ Mystery 3: What caused the Cambrian (寒武纪) Explosion?
The Cambrian Explosion refers to the explosion of complex life forms that occurred on Earth about 540 million years ago. Before then, life had consisted mostly of bacteria. But at the beginning of the Cambrian period, complex creatures began developing at a rate never seen before. Suddenly, life forms had brains, eyes, and bones. Most living creatures today can trace their blood back to the Cambrian period.
♦ Mystery 4: Will we ever be able to predict earthquakes?
We still haven’t been able to come up with a way to accurately predict earthquakes. We can certainly try, but our current technology cannot predict them exactly. We know that earthquakes start when rocks crack underground and send earthquake waves toward the surface, but we haven’t figured out why that happens, or how to predict it.
【1】What was created later by creatures on Earth?
A.Oxygen. B.Water. C.Bacteria. D.Ice.
【2】Which of the following is true according to the text?
A.Earth is called the blue star because of water coverage.
B.The level of oxygen has been steady all the time.
C.Complex creatures had rapid development in the Cambrian period.
D.We know nothing about predicting earthquakes.
【3】What do we know about Mystery 4?
A.It is the oldest mystery of the four.
B.It will be solved in the near future.
C.It is the most difficult mystery to solve of the four.
D.It is a matter that has extremely practical significance.
27、Japan has announced emergency Covid measures in Tokyo and three other areas in order to control rising infections (传染病), just three months before the country is set to host the Olympics. The government said the state of emergency — set to last for about two weeks — would be “short and powerful”. Under the measures, bars will be required to close and big sporting events will be held without audience. The government has insisted that the Olympics will go ahead in July.
Prime minister Yoshihide Suga announced the measures on Friday, saying they would begin on Sunday and remain in place until 11 May. In addition to to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Hyogo will be affected.

But there are concerns over the latest rise in infections, with reports of hospital bed shortages in some areas.
Tokyo 2020 president Seiko Hashimoto said at a news conference on Friday that organizers were not considering canceling the event. “I hope the coronavirus situation improves with the prevention measures the government, Tokyo, and other regional governments have put into place,” she said. “We, as Tokyo 2020, continue to wish for the swift return to normal and will continue to work closely to make sure a safe and secure Olympics can happen.”

But actually, she was so nervous on the night before the event that she wasn’t able to fall asleep. The next morning, her friend reminded her of a message from another disabled girl, reading “Although we are not perfect, we are still pretty”. It gave her much courage to put a punch (痛击) in the nose for prejudice against disabled people. When the other models appeared, the audience cheered and applauded, but when it was Niu’s turn, the venue suddenly fell silent Niu recalled that after some seconds, she clearly heard a female audience sigh in admiration, “so cool!” Through the activity, Niu wants to convey a message to the world, “People should respect people with difference and allow them to shine.”

She explained that she shares her experiences to help society at large better understand disabled groups. “I feel I have a social responsibility to connect the disabled with the public.

29、Phrases like “good sharing!” and “great job on the slide!” echo across American playgrounds. Coaches pass out ribbons to every participant. Scholar publishes a series called “I’m Special!” assuring readers that the ability to play with friends and sing songs makes them special indeed.
We’ve been told that high self-esteem is the key to children’s happiness and success, and we’ve been praising and protecting them ever since. But has the self-esteem movement gone too far? Many experts argue that instead of raising healthy high achievers, maybe we’re raising a generation of narcissists(自我陶醉者). “Our old concepts of self-esteem(自尊) are old-fashioned, and parents need to send the concept to the trash heap of all things outdated and useless,” says Aaron Cooper, co-author of I Just Want My Kids to be Happy.
While experts used to blame low self-esteem for everything from bad grades to criminal behavior, research has shown that inflated (膨胀的)self-esteem is more often the criminal. An article called “Rethinking Self-Esteem” by Roy made a stir when he supposed that criminals and drug abusers actually had higher self-esteem than the general population. Martin and Ervin found that the modern habit of constant praise was turning kids skeptical and unmotivated. And esteemed child development expert T. Barry recently wrote in The New York Times that the phrase “self-esteem” had lost its meaning. Parents just want their children to have a positive self-image. And while it’s easy to make fun of the extremes of the self-esteem movement, it’s difficult to walk the fine line between acquiring self-respect and self-centeredness.
Anyway, make it clear that while you have expectations for their behavior, you love and accept them unconditionally. True self-esteem isn’t about a steady stream of applause; it develops when children know their limits and responsibilities, are given enough opportunities to challenge themselves, and feel secure that they’re loved even when they fail.
【1】What’s the purpose of using phrases like “good sharing!” and “great job on the slide!”?
A．To attract readers’ attention.
B．To introduce the topic.
C．To give the author’s opinion.
D．To tell readers the key to happiness and success.
【2】According to the text, which of the following statements is true?
A．Children with high esteem are likely to be high achievers.
B．In children’s development high self-esteem plays a positive role.
C．High self-esteem makes kids motivated nowadays.
D．High self-esteem does harm to kids in a way.
【3】The proper way to develop children’s true self-esteem is to_______.
A．give them constant praise unconditionally.
B．let them shoulder all their responsibilities.
C．offer them support even though they fail.
D．have high expectations for their behavior.
【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards high self-esteem?
A．Subjective.
B．Positive.
C．Objective.
D．Negative

31、Direction: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there one word more than you need
When I was laid off (失业)in 2015, I told people about it the way any young people would: by tweeting it. My hope was that someone in my social network would point me to potential opportunities.
To my surprise, the"strategy"worked. Shortly after my public plea for employment, a friend of a friend sent me a Facebook message alerting me to a(an)【1】 in her department. Three rounds of interviews later, this acquaintance became my boss(She’s now one of my closest friends)
Think of the parents you see in the drop-off one(下客区)at school. Your favorite waiter. The other dog owners at the park. Sociologists(杜会学家) call these relationships “weak ties.” Not only can these connections affect our job prospects(前景) but they can also have a positive impact on our 【2】.
Maintaining the network of acquaintances can help you feel more 【3】. The desire to belong and form social attachments is a basic human need, alongside food, sleep and safety But once we hit 25, the number of friends we have 【4】 and becomes smaller over time, according to a 2016 study. As we get older and priorities【5】from after-work bowling league to after-school pickup, maintaining a loaded social 【6】 becomes less important. Staying socially engaged, then, is integral to personal fulfillment.
Besides, having at east a few acquaintances can connect us with a larger circle of people, which is fantastic news, say for job hunters. Even if our friends want to help us find a job, the weak ties are often the ones who 【7】 the job-search playing field.
Those acquaintances also provide us with a wider worldview. Regularly interacting with people who have different experiences than we do allows us to be more mindful of others' circumstances. This, in turn, 【8】 empathy(同感能力）
Still, casual friends have a lot to offer. Uncovering surprising tidbits(花边新闻) about the regular players in one’s life---【9】 that your neighbor is an accomplished dancer, for instance----can spice up your day.
So next time you see a friendly face when you're out and about, you might as well try to【10】 pleasantries(寒暄）.
