26、 Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, “In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence”. Given that this is the case, why aren’t students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?
First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example,a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn’t in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.
Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution(解决): stay calm. Once the student feels calmer,he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name—calling, and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.
After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker’s position. Then the two people should change roles.
Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn’t mean trying to figure out what’s wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn’t, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.
There will always be conflict in schools,but that doesn’t mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, “64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves”. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict (冲突) resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.

27、More than 30 students are taking part in a Massachusetts Clean Energy Center-supported program at the Norfolk County Agricultural High School this summer, learning more about green energy.
Instructor Peter Kane, of the school’s environmental science program, said Tuesday that the program is part of the center’s “Learn and Earn”plan.
“The idea was to provide a summer job for kids, as well as a chance for them to learn about clean energy, ”he said. “We re trying to encourage their study of science.”
The students were taking part in a number of clean-energy-centered projects. John Green was among those building solar-powered carts(车). The carts -which can power phones and similar things -will be given to schools as a way of showing the use of clean energy. Junior Cora Walsh showed how to use solar panels(板)to heat water going into a house, to either heat the building or create hot water for everyday use. She said she had attended a number of environmental science courses last year, and the interest excited by those led her to join the summer program.
Seniors Trinity Collette and Margot Mental were preparing to give a course to middle school teachers about climate change and green energy.“We’ll be teaching about different kinds of clean energy, like solar and wind power, “said Mental. “We’re also going to give them lesson plans.” Collette said it was a bit strange to be teaching teachers. “It is turning the tables a little bit,”she said.
Kane said the program had a number of other projects taking place as well, such as taking a field trip to Block Island to see the wind farm.Though some may think of the school as centered only on agriculture,he said,this kind of program shows the wide offerings of the school.
【1】What' s special about the program?
A.It prepares kids for future jobs.
B.It is aimed at senior high students.
C.It is run by Massachusetts Clean Energy Center.
D.It connects green energy with firsthand experience.
【2】What do John Green and Cora Walsh have in common?
A.Both were working on solar energy.
B.Both were farm electricity providers.
C.Both were teaching students clean energy.
D.Both were encouraged by science courses.
【3】What does the underlined word"It"in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.Preparing lessons.

C.Learning about clean energy.
D.Working with Margot Mental.
28、 In recent years, experiments examining exercise and weight loss have found that people lose far much less weight than expected, considering how many additional calories(卡路里) they are burning with their workouts.
Scientists have guessed that exercisers are likely to become hungrier and eat more after working out. They also may sit longer when not doing exercise. Together or separately, these changes could make up for the extra energy used during exercise.
To prove that possibility, scientists came up with the idea of using infrared light(红外线) to track mice’s movements in their cages. Then software can use that information to analyse their daily physical activity.
So the researchers prepared special cages, putting inside some locked running wheels, and let mice roam(闲逛) and explore for four days in the cages. This provided the researchers with information about how many calories each mouse burned every day.
Then the wheels were unlocked and for nine days, the mice could run at will, and they could decide how much to eat and when to get off the wheels, walking around. The mice,which enjoyed running, jumped readily on the wheels and started to run. On and off the wheels, they could run for hours. They showed a following height in their daily energy expenditure(支出) since they had added exercise to their lives.
But they did not change their eating habits. Although they were burning more calories, they did not eat more. They did, however, change how they moved. They now usually jogged on their wheels for a few minutes, jumped off, rested or roamed in a while, and then climbed back on the wheels, ran, rested, briefly roamed, and it repeated. These changes in how they spent their time almost counteracted(抵消) the extra calorie costs from running, says Daniel Lark, who led the new study.
What caused the running mice to run less is still uncertain. 'But it does not seem to have been tiredness or lack of time; wheel running is not arduous for mice, and does not fill their waking hours.' Dr. Lark says.
Instead, he says, it is likely that the animals’ bodies and brains sensed the increasing energy expenditure when the mice began to run and sent out biological signals that somehow advised the animals to slow down, save energy and lose weight.
Mice will never be people, of course, so we cannot say whether the results of this would directly apply to us, Dr. Lark says. But the results do indicate that if we hope to lose more weight through, we should watch what we eat and try not to move less while we work out more.
【1】What did NOT change for the mice in the experiment?
A.How they moved. B.How long they ran.
C.How much they chose to eat. D.How they spent their time.
【2】What happened to the mice in the experiment according to the 6th paragraph?

C.They spent less time roaming in the cage. D.They didn't need rest after running the wheels.
【3】The underlined word 'arduous' in paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _______.
A.tiring B.energetic C.difficult D.different
【4】Which of the following statements may Dr. Lark agree with?
A.Wheel running costs the same amount of energy as roaming does.
B.The mice ran more because they really wanted to lose weight.
C.The experiment is a failure because the results don't apply to humans.
D.It might not be tiredness that caused the mice to run less.
【5】The purpose of writing this passage is _______.
A.to prove that scientists' guess about exercising is wrong
B.to introduce a recent research on exercise and weight loss
C.to analyze how wheel running changes mice's movements
D.to explain why eating and running are bad for exercisers
29、 An international team of scientists has discovered a stellar black hole in Earth’s “cosmic backyard” containing the mass of 70 suns.
It’s a black hole that forms after stars die, collapse, and explode. Researchers had long believed that the size limit was only 20 times the mass of our sun because as these stars die, they lose most of their mass through explosions that force matter and gas swept away by stellar winds.
This theory has now been toppled by LB-1, the newly discovered black hole. Located about 15,000 light years away, it has a mass 70 times greater than our sun, according to a press release from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
“Black holes of such mass should not even exist in our galaxy (星系), according to most of the present models of stellar evolution,” said Liu Jifeng, head of the team that made the discovery.
“LB-1 is twice as massive as what we thought possible. Now theorists will have to take up the challenge of explaining its formation.”
Scientists are now scratching their heads at how LB-1 got so huge.
The team has proposed some theories. LB-1’s sheer size suggests that it “was not formed from the collapse of only one star,” the study said — instead, it could potentially be two smaller black holes orbiting each other.
Another possibility is that it formed from “fallback supernova (超行星).” This is when a supernova — the last stage of an exploding star — ejects (喷射) material during the explosion, which then falls back into the supernova, creating a black hole. This fallback formation is theoretically possible, but scientists have never been able to prove or observe it.
There are several types of black holes and stellar black holes like LB-1 are on the smaller side, according to NASA. Supermassive black holes are much bigger — they can be billions of times the mass of our sun.
Scientists believe supermassive black holes may have connection with the formation of galaxies, as they often exist at the center of the mass star stems but it is still not clear exactly how, or which form first.
【1】According to scientists, what might account for the formation of LB-1?
A.The material ejected in the explosion of a supernova.
B.The smaller black holes moving around each other.
C.The evolution of the solar system.
D.The collapse of a certain star.
【2】What does the word “toppled” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Confirmed B.Strengthened. C.Overturned. D.Refused.
【3】What is the purpose of writing this article?
A.To inform readers of the basic knowledge about black holes.
B.To share the recent development of the black hole discovery.
C.To show the importance of discovering black holes for science.
D.To report achievements scientists have made in black hole theory.
【4】What might be the best title for the passage?
A.The Latest Discovery of Galaxies
B.Proposed Theories of Black Holes
C.The Possible Formation of the Black Holes
D.Biggest Stellar-mass Black Hole Discovered
