26、 What’s it like to become a music star with millions of fans? These young artists know the feeling. Over the course of their short careers, they have attracted the attention of the biggest stars in the world and taken home prizes from major shows. For now they’re just kids that everyone in music is watching. Check out the next generation of stars below.
FIFTH HARMONY
The 1990s was a brilliant period for girl groups. But after that few groups have been able to make much of an influence. This doesn’t seem to bother Fifth Harmony, who landed the biggest hit of their career in 2016 with “Work from Home”, a pop song that encourages everyone to ask for leave more often. When it climbed to No.4 on the Billboard Hot100, it was the first time that a girl group had entered the top 5 in the past ten years.
LORDE
It’s been four years since the release of Born Heroine ---- the hot selling CD that made her a 16-year-old global sensation and the spokeswoman for a new generation of smart, strong-minded, creative female pop artists. She contributed to The Hunger Games soundtrack (插曲) in 2014, and for this time setting foot in Hollywood production also brought her more opportunities in her following career.
TROYE SIVAN

27、 Space is the final frontier (前沿). Sending rockets into space has become almost common. The demand for communications satellites and space-based image services is growing.
Today, space efforts cost about $200 billion a year. Joint efforts between governments and businesses are helping to lower costs and increase our understanding of the universe.
The business of space looks good for Orbital ATK, a company based in the United States. In January, the company launched its Antares rocket. The rocket was carrying the first of eight planned supply shipments to the International Space Station. Orbital ATK is one of the two American companies paid by NASA to transport supplies to the space station.
A company called Arianespace is a private European space business. Clayton Nowry heads the American division of the company. He says the increase in rocket launches is partly the result of increased demand for space-based technologies. These include high-definition (高清的) broadcasts and satellite broadband services.
While there is more demand for satellites, the end of NASA's Space Shuttle program in 2011 has hurt the space industry. Janice Starzyk works at International Launch Services. She works on education issues at the Washington Space Business Roundtable. She said, "It's a pity that the program's shutdown was a huge, huge set of lay-offs (下岗人员) in the industry."
But even as NASA reduces its spending, other countries have announced plans to explore space. In December 2013, China became just the third country to land an unmanned space vehicle on the moon. A month later, India sent its first communications satellite.
【1】What makes sending rockets into space become very usual?
A.More and more people wanting to explore space.
B.Space becoming human's final home and dream.
C.Companies making every effort to earn $ 200 billion a year.

D.It's the only American company paid by NASA.
【4】How may Janice Starzyk feel about the program's shutdown?
A.Hopeful. B.Content.

28、Swimming is a wonderful thing for me — exercise, reflection and alone time. The only thing that can ruin a swim is when I shift my attention from my lane to what’s happening in the lanes next to me. I can catch myself racing the person next to me, or comparing our strokes.
Comparison is actually not an emotion. Researchers explain that comparing the self with others, either intentionally or unintentionally, is a common social phenomenon.
Comparison is the desire for consistency from one side and competition from the other — it’s trying to be like everyone else, but better. When we compare ourselves with others, we are ran king around a specific collection of “ alike things ” . I’m not swimming against Katie Ledecky’s times, I’m just interested in the stranger in the lane next to me. When we compare, we want to be the best of our group. It’s not be yourself and respect others for being genuine, but to win. I want to swim the same workout as you, and beat you at it.
In general, however, social comparisons are not associated with life satisfaction or the positive emotions of love and joy but are associated with the negative emotions of fear, anger, shame and sadness.
Here’s what makes all of this really tough: Many social psychologists consider social comparison something that happens to us. More often than not, we don’t even know we’re doing it. This lack of awareness can lead to us showing up in ways that are hurtful to ourselves and others.
So we get to choose how we’re going to let it affect us. My new strategy is to look at the person in the lane next to me, and say to myself, as if I’m talking to them, “ Have a great swim. ” That way, I acknowledge the inevitable and make a conscious decision to wish them well, and return to my swim. So far, it’s working pretty well.
【1】What do we know about comparison?
A．It is nothing but an emotion.
B．It is trying to be the true self.
C．It is to be different and be the best.
D．It is to fit in and meanwhile to win.
【2】What may be the author’s attitude to social comparison?
A．Critical.
B．Doubtful.
C．Indifferent.
D．Favorable.
【3】What is the feature of social comparison in the eyes of many psychologists?
A．Its unavoidability.
B．Its emotional influence.
C．Its uncertainty.
D．Its cultural root.
【4】Why is swimming frequently mentioned in the text?
A．To present a social perspective on a sport issue.
B．To use it as an example to support an opinion.
C．To describe the right process of solving a problem.
D．To show love for sports with a personal experience.

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
The elementary means of communicating with other people is conveying messages by voice. This fact is widely acknowledged and we recognize the voice as a(n) 【1】 characterizing the identity of a person. The array of voices is immeasurable as no two are exactly similar. They can be nasal, resonant or shrill produced in accordance with the individual physical【2】 of the throat.
One possible implementation of the 【3】 of voice recognition is voice profiling used by police analysts as a method of substantiating court evidence in trials. Every year, thousands of audiotapes with recorded interviews or 【4】 utterances are put to the purpose to help identify the probable 【5】. Specialists dealing with the voice investigation claim that people can give themselves away by their 【6】, inflections or other voice attributes like pitch, intensity and loudness. A recorded sample is usually 【7】 into electric impulses and later transformed into a pictorial recoding which is processed by a computer program. Very frequently voice analyst have a stake at deciphering the relevant information which may be 【8】 with background noise or other interfering sounds until they attain the 【9】 results.
Thankfully, these efforts help the police detect individuals who threaten their victims by phone or inform about bomb 【10】 or those who make offensive calls disturbing the peach of decent citizens.
32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious all over the world. For example, cars have made the air unhealthy for people to breathe and poisonous gas is given off by factories. Trees on the hills have been cut down and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers. Furthermore, wherever we go today, we can find rubbish carelessly disposed(处理)．
There are different kinds of pollutants, each of which comes from different sources. It is necessary to identify the source of pollution, in order to make a policy to get rid of them. Different products, processes and activities of our industrialized world together form the major source of pollution.
The forms of pollution can be mainly divided into three kinds—solids，liquid and gas. These pollutants have greatly damaged our planet and continue to do so. In fact，pollution is threatening our existence. The whole ecological balance of the earth is changing. Massive destruction of environment has brought about negative effects and even posed a great threat to man’s existence.
We must face the situation that exists and take action to solve our environmental problems. For instance, new laws must be passed to place strict control over industrial pollution; the public must receive the education about the danger of pollution and raise their awareness of protecting the environment and so on.
The earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it for ourselves and our later generations. Fortunately, more and more people have realized these problems. Measures have been taken to deal with these situations by the government. And laws have been passed to stop pollution, I hope the problems will be solved in the near future and our home will become better and better.
