26、 In American countryside, the message we hear is this: Go and get an education. Leave your small town and make something of yourself 【1】. Leave. Go.
After graduating from a high school in Helena, Arkansas, I did go.
I went to Colby College in Maine. I had visited the school ahead of time, so I knew what I was getting myself into. I knew about the difference in weather. 【2】. But I wanted to challenge and get out of my comfort zone. And you now what? 【3】. Only one thing took me by surprise — few students were from the country side. Most of the other students at Colby were from big cities: New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco... And when I had conversations with these students — in or outside of class — we almost always focused on topics facing large American cities. In my education classes, it was always “urban this” and “urban that”.
【4】.
And this urban interest doesn’t just happen in college. I went to an education meeting a couple of years ago, and a professor, an expert in education, was there to give a speech. I was chosen to be part of a small group that got to meet with him. So there we were, five or six of us sitting in a room, and I asked him, “What are your thoughts on the state of education in the countryside?” And this man was speechless.
I’ll never forget that moment. It speaks to a larger truth. Towns like mine are forgotten.
More and more young people are heading for our big cities, leaving small towns and never coming back. But I don’t want to add to that movement. 【5】. Now it’s my turn to help people younger than me. And you know what? I’m a sixth grade teacher in Helena now.
A. I want to do the opposite
B. Understood the difference in social atmosphere.
C. Get well prepared for your future.
D. I did love my time there.
E. Young people can’t go back to their towns.
F. It was like small town America didn’t exist.
G. Success and opportunity are found elsewhere.
27、 Everyone likes living in a clean and comforting environment. If the environment are bad, it will affect our body, and make us not feel well. Sometimes we may be terribly ill.

28、In the 11th century, nearly 500 years before Leonardo da Vinci drew a similar flying machine, a young monk(修道士)called Eilmer fixed wings to his hands and feet and jumped off a tower at Malmesbury Abbey in England. After he had glided(滑翔)more than 200 metres, a gust of wind caught him, and he crashed, breaking both legs.
Eilmer's courage seems to show much about the Middle Ages, as Seb Falk, a historian, presents them in The Light Ages. It shows scientific curiosity and experimental spit, much of which appeared in religious institutions, There were a lot of dead ends, but there was progress too. And that period of time doesn't deserve to be tainted(玷污)as “the Dark Ages”.
A deeply rooted prejudice(偏见)holds that nothing much happened in the Middle Ages. Mr Falk sets out to doubt it. He acknowledged that medieval(中世纪的)science was not the same as the modern kind Astronomy was the most important discipline, but astrology(占星学)was respectable too, and it turned into magic. Monks worked to understand “a living universe created by God”. But were the methods really so different? Facing the unknown, human beings created a mass of theories that gradually got reduced through observation and experiment. That described medieval science as much as today's.
The mechanical clock, spectacles, advances in navigation—these were among the achievements of the Middle Ages. Medieval astronomers produced a theory that influenced Galileo Galilei in the 17th century. By hen Nicolaus Copernicus overturned everything they held dear, by placing the sun at the centre of the universe; but he couldn’t have done so without their achievements.
【1】What is the author's main purpose of mentioning Eilmer's deed in the first paragraph?
A.To tell how fearless the young monk was.
B.To give a look into the science in the Middle Ages.
C.To show the severe effects of an unsuccessful experiment.
D.To explain the reason why Eilmer filed in the experiment.
【2】What is the author's possible attitude towards the science of the Middle Ages?
A.Doubtful.
B.Unelear.
C.Positive.
D.Negative.
【3】The third paragraph implies that________.
A.the medieval science is completely the same as the modern kind
B.the modern science is much more advanced than the medieval kind
C.there is no similarity between the medieval science and the modern kind
D.the medieval science does have something in common with the modern kind
【4】Which of the following might be the topic of the text?
A.The masterpiece of Seb Falk.
B.The inventions in the Middle Ages.
C.The opinions about medieval science.
D.The guesses of medieval astronomers.

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.
Hundreds of years ago, Charles Darwin predicted that facial expressions of emotion are 【1】. If you’ve ever seen an episode of the popular US TV drama Lie To Me, you will really understand facial expressions. The leading actor of the show, Dr. Cal Lightman has spent 20 years studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions, which allows him to point out other people’s studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions which allows him to point out other people’s 【2】 and on many occasions, to be skilled at tricking in order to get the truth.
Is there really much truth behind this science of 【3】 human emotions through expressions? Paul Ekman, a(n) 【4】 psychologist whose work focuses on mapping facial expressions, is Lie To Me’s scientific advisor and the following are some of his explanations.
Hand-to-face gesture indicates a lie.
Each micro-expression is unique to 【5】 specific emotions because the person is often unaware of doing it. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are lying when someone uses a hand to hide part of his face. The person could be holding back information but you may better consider looking at other more important clues rather than just the simple hand-to-face gesture.
A liar refuses eye contact.
People look away when they are thinking carefully and considering each word before it is spoken, not just when they are 【6】 an excuse. Oblique eyebrows are a very reliable 【7】of sadness and few people can make this 【8】 expression, so it is actually never faked.
Guilty knowledge technique is 【9】.
Lightman often uses the guilty knowledge technique, mentioning something that only the guilty person will know about and show a(n)【10】. This is often used in polygraph exams: “Was the person strangled, shot or stabbed to death?” Only the killer knows and is likely to respond physiologically when the actual weapon is mentioned.
