26、How to Make a Complaint in English
Most of us do not enjoy complaining. But sometimes we must do it to get a solution.【1】. An effective English complaint often has the following three steps.
Explain the problem
To do it effectively, you must use polite and respectful language.【2】.For example, if you are at a restaurant and the server forgets to bring your drink, saying “You didn’t bring my drink” may be too direct. It may sound critical and cause the server to become defensive. So you can use phrases to politely explain your problem.
State your feelings
This step is often not necessary.【3】. Some problems have easy and quick solutions. For example, politely telling people that they forgot something or overcharged you usually leads to a speedy solution. But imagine that you are receiving poor service.【4】. In these cases, you need to politely express how you feel.
【5】
The third step is to ask for action to be taken on the problem. This is an important step. Depending on who the listener is, you or they may need to ask someone else to take action.
A.Ask for action
B.Blame the problem on them
C.You should avoid complaining
D.It will depend on how bad the problem is
E.In English,polite language is usually indirect
F.Today,we will tell you how to make a complaint in English
G.Or,maybe there is a continuing problem in your apartment building
27、根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do you constantly use the computer, whether for learning or entertainment? Computers give off radiation(辐射) that is bad for your health, but here are some ways to protect yourself from computer radiation.
【1】Green tea can be absorbed by the body easily into a form of vitamin A, which helps reduce radiation.【2】
It is advisable to attach a radiation filter plate(辐射过滤板) in front of your computer’s screen. Make sure to avoid putting any mental substances near your computer as these may have reflected some of the electromagnetic waves that are harmful to your health. 【3】 The brighter the screen the higher the radiation there will be and vice versa.
You can also put some radiation-absorbing plants such as several cacti near your computer to prevent radiation.
Make sure you do a skincare protection before sitting in front of the computer.【4】Wash your face soon after using the computer in order to reduce 70% of the radiation.
【5】 Old computer in general, has one to two times more radiation released than the new one within the same distance.
A.And adjust the brightness of your computer screen.
B.Apply a layer of facial mask to protect yourself.
C.And adjust the sound level on your computer.
D.The most efficient way is by drinking some coffee regularly.
E.The simple way is by drinking 2 or 3 cups of green tea every day.
F.If possible, purchase a new computer instead of using an old model computer.
G.It also helps keep our eyes see things clearly in the dark by improving the visual ability.
28、 GENETIC testing cannot tell teachers anything useful about an individual pupil’s educational achievement. That is the conclusion of a study that looked at how well so-called polygenic scores for education predict a person’s educational achievements, based on a long-term study of thousands of people in the UK. “Some people with a very low genetic score are very high performers at age 16. Some are even in the top 3 percent,” says Tim Morris at the University of Bristol, UK.
And while Morris expects the accuracy of polygenic scores for educational achievements to improve, he doesn’t think they will ever be good enough to predict how well an individual will do. Even relatively simple qualities such as height are influenced by thousands of genetic variants, each of which may only have a tiny effect. It has been claimed that polygenic scores can be used to make useful predictions, such as a person’s likelihood of developing various diseases. One company is even offering embryo screening (screening of an unborn baby in the very stages of development) based on polygenic scores for disease risk.
Some researchers - notably Robert Plomin of King’s College London - think that schools should start using polygenic scores for educational achievement. In most cases, the scores may reflect qualities such as persistence as well as intelligence.
To assess the usefulness of polygenic scores in education, Morris and his colleagues calculated them for 8,000 people in Bristol who are part of a long-term study known as the Children of the 90s. The participants’ genomes have been queued and their academic results are available to researchers. Among other things, the team found a correlation of 0.4 between a person’s polygenic score and their exam results at age 16. But there would need to be a correlation of at least 0.8 to make useful predictions about individuals, says Morris.
Plomin, however, argues that the results support his opinion. “A correlation of 0.4 makes it the strongest polygenic predictor in the behavioural sciences,” says Plomin. “It’s so much stronger than a lot of other things we base decisions on. So it’s a very big finding.”
Morris says schools already have access to other predictors that are more accurate, such as a pupil’s earlier test results. Looking at parents’ educational achievements is also a better predictor of a pupil’s academic results than studying their genome, his results show. Providing teachers with an extra predictor based on genetics would just confuse matters, says Morris, and the cost cannot be justified.
【1】In paragraph 2, Morris talks about “height” in order to tell readers that _____.
A.some qualities are hardly affected by any genetic variants
B.some qualities are influenced by thousands of genetic variants
C.genetic scores are useful in predicting one’s potential diseases
D.genetic scores can help children improve their scores at school
【2】How did Morris prove the effect of polygenetic scores in education?
A.By providing opposite examples. B.By explaining how the genome works.
C.By listing findings from another scientist. D.By presenting facts and data from research.
【3】According to Plomin, a correlation of 0.4 is reliable because it is _____.
A.useful in telling you how intelligent and persistent children are
B.useful in predicting people who might struggle academically
C.stronger compared to other factors in behavioural sciences
D.strongly correlated to children’s academic achievements
【4】Morris suggested that schools should _____.
A.study every pupil’s genomes
B.spend some money on genetic tests
C.know about parents’ educational achievements
D.provide teachers with students’ genetic information
29、 Nzulezo in Jomoro district of western Ghana has coexisted with nature for many centuries. Here, all of life’s chores (家常杂务) from the preparation of meals to children going to school take place on water.
The first people in Nzulezo came from Mali in the 15th century. Many centuries after, people in Nzulezo still live in wooden buildings. Every family in modern Nzulezo has its own street, and every street is named after the head of that family. Every family member also owns a boat. It’s the only way of travelling there.
People in Nzulezo have kept their traditional way of living for many centuries, but they have introduced certain modern comforts such as clectricity, which means they no longer depend on kerosene (煤油) and lanterns to power up.
They also hope to build a 24-hour healthcare center. The locals have to travel five kilometers by boat to see a doctor.
Being on water also makes it hard to find teachers to teach Nzulezo children. Cudjoe, a teacher in Nzulezo, says that there aren’t enough payments to make teachers stay. Though there are glaring challenges, some of Cudjoe’s students have left Nzulezo for further education, including university, and they are thriving, he says. “I have a lady, she’s now a nurse, and I have a man who is now in university. Plenty of them are now in senior high outside the village. They are doing well.”
But while people in Nzulezo are open to satisfying some modern needs, they still feel strongly about keeping their traditional lifestyle. “Our life here is very comfortable for us. We cook here, we enjoy ourselves, we entertain ourselves, the children also. We prefer to stay,” says a local elder, John Arthur.
【1】What does Paragraph 2 focus on?
A.The rise and fall of Nzulezo. B.Nzulezo’s dependence on boats.
C.The origin of streets in Nzulezo. D.Nzulezo’s traditional way of living.
【2】What does the underlined word “thriving” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Suffering. B.Succeeding.
C.Returning. D.Researching.
【3】Which would be the best title for the passage?
A.Village over the River Coming to Shore
B.Nzulezo Giving Way to Modern Comforts
C.Floating Village Balancing Traditions in Modern World
D.Nzulezo Drawing Attention to Traditional Floating Life

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835-April 21, 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. Twain grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, which provided the 【1】 for Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. After an apprenticeship with a printer, he worked as a typesetter and 【2】 articles to the newspaper of his older brother, Orion Clemens. He later became a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River before heading west to join Orion in Nevada. He referred humorously to his singular lack of success at mining, turning to journalism for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise. In 1865, his 【3】 story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras spent some time as a miner. The short story brought international attention, and was even translated into 【4】 Greek. His wit and satire, in prose and in speech, earned 【5】 from critics and peers, and he was a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists, and European royalty.
Though Twain earned a great deal of money from his writings and lectures, he 【6】 in ventures that lost a great deal of money, notably the Paige Compositor, a mechanical typesetter, which failed because of its 【7】 and imprecision. Following these financial setbacks, he filed for protection from his creditors via bankruptcy, and with the help of Henry Huttleston Rogers 【8】 overcame his financial troubles. Twain chose to pay all his pre-bankruptcy creditors in full, though he had no legal responsibility to do so.
Twain was born 【9】 after a visit by Halley’s Comet, and he predicted that he would go out with it, too. He died the day after the comet returned. He 【10】 himself as the “greatest American humorist of his age”, and William Faulkner called Twain “the father of American literature”.
