26、 [1] It happens countless times a day. A flower’s bright color and the smell of sweet nectar (花蜜) attract a bee. The bee stops by for a quick taste and small grains of pollen (the powder produced by a flower) stick to its body. The bee then travels to another flower of the same type and leaves the pollen as it has another meal. This is an example of animal pollination (授粉) — a process extremely important to plant reproduction.
[2] It’s not only plants that depend on animal pollination — humans do, too. Worldwide, nearly a thousand plants that we grow for food, spices, clothing fibers, and medicine depend on it. If pollination suddenly stopped, we would have no apples, tomatoes, coffee, and many other goods.
[3] This important process is carried out by more than 200,000 different animal species known as pollinators. Flies and beetles - the original pollinators - date back 130 million years to the first flowering plants. Birds, butterflies, and ants also do their part. Even nonflying mammals help out: monkeys tear open flowers with their hands, accidentally spreading pollen into the air and onto their fur.
[4] Pollinators are therefore important, but they are also at risk. Climate change, habitat loss, and invasive predators (入侵捕食者) all threaten them. The United States, for example, has lost over 50 percent of its honeybees over the past ten years. A serious threat facing bees is colony collapse disorder, when worker bees mysteriously disappear from their colony. Scientists are still trying to identify its cause.
[5] There is a quote attributed to Einstein that if bees ever disappeared, man would only have four years left to live. Whether that’s true or not does not really matter, says wildlife photographer Louie Schwartzberg: the key point is that there is a real danger. “The healthiest food we need to eat,” he says, “would disappear without pollinating plants. It’s pretty serious.”
【1】What might be left on flower B, as is shown in the picture?
A.Nectar.
B.Pollen.
C.Leaves.
D.Fur.
【2】What can be inferred from the text?
A.Pollination means a lot to fruits and grains.
B.Nearly a thousand plants depend on pollination.
C.Monkeys are the only nonflying mammal pollinators.
D.There are more than 20,000 different species of pollinators.
【3】What threat are honeybees faced with?
A.Climate change. B.Habitat loss.
C.Invasive predators. D.Colony collapse disorder.
【4】What does the underlined “a real danger” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Bees are disappearing. B.Humans can only survive 4 years.
C.Food shortage is serious. D.No pollinating plants, no healthy food.
【5】Which might be the best title?
A.The Importance of Pollinators B.The Creator of Nature
C.The Wonder of Reproduction D.The Secret Life of Bees
27、 My journey home from school is nothing special.The train is always busy but I usually find a seat and start reading or texting my friends,making sure,like everyone else,not to look at other people.
But last Tuesday was different.I was happily listening to some new music when the train suddenly stopped.This wasn't unusual and I didn't think anything of it. Then after about five minutes, I noticed people were starting to get a bit angry. Fifteen minutes later, people started getting angrier.The longer the train stood still, the angrier people became until finally the announcement came:"We are sorry to announce that this train is delayed (延误)."
That seemed to calm people down and so we all went back to what we were doing before, but soon there was another announcement: We were going to be there for a long time﹣a train had broken down in front of us.There was a loud sigh (叹气) throughout the carriage (车厢) but then something unexpected happened: complete strangers started talking to each other. I started chatting to a couple of young tourists. They were from Spain and they were traveling around the UK so I suggested some places they should visit. Next I really surprised myself by starting a conversation with a businesswoman. She was going to take three months off work to climb Qomolangma. It was great talking to her. Then I decided to get up and go for a walk down the train I met a woman who had been a student at my school seven years before and knew lots of my teachers.
While we were talking, we heard there was a patient in another part of the train who needed help and the woman from my school jumped into action. It turned out she was a nurse and when she came back, she was welcomed as a hero.
Then, after two hours, we started moving again. Everyone clapped and cheered and some people, complete strangers three hours before, even hugged I will never forget the day the train stopped and people started talking.

28、 China is regarded as a miracle economy, and is well on its way to affecting the world in its own way. Apart from the four ancient inventions and the four new technical inventions, which have been making people's lives more and more convenient, 'the Belt and Road Initiative (倡议)is changing the world. If we fail to swim with the tide of history, we will be left behind. "This is the central idea of the "Belt and Road" section in a Japan's documentary China: the Great Dragon.
The documentary shows the vast farmlands of Kazakhstan, the classic small goods markets in Poland and an advanced robotics production center in Germany. They are now linked within a huge economic circle by "the B&R" Initiative .The cameras captured images of tall buildings and large skyscrapers in the Astana-the capital of Kazakhstan that were constructed with building materials produced in China-funded, brickyards. They also captured scenes of merchants from Eastern European countries who drove thousands of miles to buy goods at the China Mall in Warsaw, Poland. Annually, more than 1, 000 trains from China arrive at Durisburg, Germany. In 2016, China became Germany's biggest trade partner, and bilateral (双边的)economic and trade relations are only expected to grow from there.
The documentary featured the Eurasian continental railway, which relies on China's investment and operation. Shipping between China and European countries on the railway takes one-third the time of sea transportation, and goods can be delivered at only one-fifth the cost of air transportation.
It also shows many ordinary Chinese farmers cultivating farmland in Central Asia as well as Chinese merchants involved in the Eastern European markets and those who find opportunities in the mass e-commerce (电子商务)world. By getting involved in "B & R" construction, they enriched themselves and realized their dreams.
This Japanese documentary gives a vivid description that China's steady advance and contribution to the development of the world has made it the second largest economy in the world.

29、 An All-School Reunion was to be held in Barditch High School. Over 450 people came to the event. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for over fifty years, was wheeled to the Park.
Then Ms. Yates started to speak:
“I can’t tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven’t seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven’t appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the births of your children, in my imagination.”
Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued:
“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in you chosen path.”
“There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.”

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.
Scientists have proved what students have long suspected: Maths equations can actually trigger physical pain.
Regions of the brain linked with the experience of physical 【1】 were activated in those fearful of maths when they were presented with a tough equation, researchers have found. The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 【2】 activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.
However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 【3】 event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 【4】 the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.
“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their paper titled. When Math Hurts. “【5】, this relation was not seen during math performance, 【6】 that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 【7】 math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 【8】 paths. We provide the first neural 【9】 indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.
Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 【10】 or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.”
