26、Have you ever noticed that some people can eat what they want and stay in shape, while others carefully watch what they eat and still put on weight? How annoying! However, scientists are beginning to believe that some people get the ability to stay thin from their parents.
Scientists say that when some people eat, their bodies will naturally store the excess energy from food as fat. These people gain weight if they eat more than they need each day. Meanwhile, other people eat more than they need but their bodies are able to “burn off” the extra food without making fat, so they rarely have weight problems.
To show that this is true, scientists have experimented on laboratory mice. They gave the mice a special diet with a lot of fat. Some mice gained weight while the other mice stayed thin, even though both groups of mice ate the same amount of food and got the same amount of exercise. Scientists concluded that weight gain seemed to be influenced by genetic (基因的) factors. They also believe they have now identified the genes that may cause this tendency. These genes, according to the scientists, get passed down the generations. Armed with this knowledge, they believe it may be possible to develop medicines that can target the genes and stop people from gaining weight.
The study of weight gain is becoming more important as the numbers of people who are overweight continues to grow. In the United States, over seventy percent of the population have weight problems. This means they are at risk of illness such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
Current medicines for weight control do not work very well because they can have serious side effects, such as heart problems. However, it takes a long time to develop and thoroughly test new drugs. Therefore, despite this breakthrough in the study of weight-loss drugs, scientists and health professionals all agree that currently the best way to control weight gain is to have a healthy, balanced diet and an active lifestyle with daily exercise. This will not only help people avoid becoming overweight, but also help them stay healthy and energetic.
【1】According to the scientists, some people ________.
A．are able to stay thin because of genetic factors
B．can eat what they want and stay healthy forever
C．usually keep doing exercise to lose their weight
D．don’t eat anything every day but still put on weight
【2】Some people don’t need to worry about weight problems because ________.
A．they eat many vegetables
B．they eat less than others
C．they don’t store any energy from food as fat
D．they can burn off the extra food without making fat
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A．Fewer people will have weight problems in the future.
B．People with weight problems may suffer from heart trouble.
C．We now have good medicine for people with weight problems.
D．The result of the experiments on mice and humans are different.
【4】What does the last paragraph imply?
A．Current medicine solve weight problems well.
B．We should exercise regularly and eat properly.
C．Taking exercise every day may cause heart problems.
D．Testing new drugs is hard because of the side effects.
27、 Italy has produced many brilliant minds who have made their mark on art history. During the Renaissance(文艺复兴), the Italian city-states were at the center of an incredible flowering of visual culture that would not only influence generations onward but would also redefine what it meant to be an artist. Painters and sculptors came to be seen not only as craftsmen, but also men of learning who could express something deeply personal. Then came the drama and intensity of the Baroque artists. Modern times brought more change, some artists explored deeply into their medium while others turned to political and social issues. All along the way, there were standout personalities who illuminated the concerns of their time. Check out some of the most interesting figures in Italian art.
Leonardo da Vinci
Much has been said about this true Renaissance man, who was not only a painter but a mathematician, scientist, engineer, inventor, architect and much, much more. His endless curiosity and imagination led him to dream up machines that were far ahead of his time, study anatomy(解剖学) in brand-new ways and, of course, create paintings and drawings that would impress people for many centuries. In his paintings, there is an overwhelming sense of the mystery of existence – the mystery that he sought to chase and understand.
Michelangelo Buonarotti
In many ways, Michelangelo defined what it means to be an artist. Though he’s known for his paintings, he considered himself first and foremost a sculptor. Born and raised in a little town, he grew up to be a master of anatomy. He used the straining and twisting muscles of the human body to express his powerful vision of the world. His design of the Laurentian Library pioneered Mannerist architecture.
Giovanni Bellini
Bellini was the Venetian of the Renaissance who took the medium of oil painting to a new expressive capacity. He was the pioneer of a technique where the colors were gradually built up in thin, translucent(半透明) layers. The end result is glossy, rich and shining like no other. In his paintings, you’ll find a kind of peaceful silence, lighted by gorgeous colors that seem to be lit from within.
Artemisia Gentileschi
Artemisia is one of the great boundary-breaking painters of the Baroque era. Female artists of her time were confined to still life paintings and portraits, because it was considered improper for women to paint from the nude figure. But Artemisia wouldn’t let that stop her. At just 17, she broke taboos with her painting of Susanna and the Elders, in which she proudly displays a full-frontal nude(裸体) in the center of the frame. She was raped two years later by another painter and experienced physical sufferings during the investigation of the trial, but her struggles only fueled her artistic production as she turned out painting after painting of strong, defiant women.
【1】Which of the following group is the common point of the works of the artists mentioned above?
A.Pioneer and original B.Conservative but pioneer
C.Powerful and beautiful D.Mysterious but direct
【2】What does “defiant” probably mean in the last paragraph?
A.admirable B.challenging
C.disrespectful D.obedient
【3】Which one of the following statement is FALSE according to the passage?
A.Giovanni was expert at making use of colors and was also a leader in artistic expression.
B.As a master of anatomy, Michelangelo handled human bodies very well in his works.
C.Despite their amazing sculptures, sculptors were seen as craftsman during the Renaissance.
D.Leonardo da Vinci was curious and imaginative enough to stand ahead of his times.
28、 At the end of August this year I moved from London to a small town in Quebec, Canada, called Matane to work as an English teacher. Patience is a word that has appeared in many forms over the past two months.
I don't see myself as being the most patient person in the world, but I was deeply impressed by my experience in the first week of teaching. I had just finished a discussion with two students and just as they were leaving the classroom, one of them turned back and said "Thank you for your patience." That was an early reminder of the importance being patient as a teacher. Moreover, patience in the classroom can be the difference between building students' confidence in a language and breaking down their confidence entirely. Being patient as a teacher means empathizing with students. It is not easy to learn a new language and allowing students to find their way will benefit them in the long term.
Living my life in French is not easy but the people of Quebec are very patient. Quebecers repeat things several times and they are more than happy to wait while I find the correct words to express myself. It's a learning process, but with the patience of others the process is less frightening.
When I first arrived in Matane, I kept getting headaches from having to concentrate all the time due to the language. I had to keep reminding myself that it would take time, and two months later the headaches are a distant memory and my ears have become more used to the Quebecois accent. The key is to be patient with yourself. There is no short cut to learning a language, but it will be worth it in the end.
【1】The author moved to Quebec in order to ___________.
A.learn French B.teach English C.visit a friend D.see a doctor
【2】What language do people of Quebec mainly speak?
A.French. B.English. C.Spanish. D.Russian.
【3】The underlinedwords "empathizing with" in Paragraph 2 mean ___________.
A.refusing to accept someone's opinions
B.disagreeing with someone in a similar situation
C.discussing with someone about something important
D.understanding someone else's feelings and experiences
【4】While Quebecers are talking with the author, they ___________.
A.laugh loudly B.wait patiently C.speak quick D.think seriously
【5】What lesson has the author learned from the experiences?
A.It is difficult to make a living in France. B.It is wrong to move from London to Quebec.
C.Being patient in learning a language is worth it. D.Students should know the importance of patience.
29、You may or may not know that Steve Buscemi was a firefighter from 1980 to 1984.
The day after the attacks（袭击） on the Twin Towers, he appeared at his old fire station ready for work. He spent the next week doing 12-hour shifts and helping his former workmates search for the bodies of the missing. When people tried to interview him, he at once refused.
Buscemi had worked as a New York City Department (FDNY) firefighter in Little Italy. He stayed in touch with some of his old fire company workmates, even when he went on to be a Hollywood superstar. He understood how many firefighters were missing along with the rest of the innocent(无辜的) people who’d been affected by the terrorist attacks, and just wanted to help out.
Some time later, he broke his silence and said: “It was an honour to be able to do it. It was great to connect with the firehouse I used to work with and with some of the guys I worked alongside. And it was greatly helpful for me because while I was working, I didn’t really think about it as much, feel it as much. It wasn’t until I stopped that I really felt the full effect of what had happened. It would have been much harder for me to get through it if I hadn’t been able to do that.” He has since made a documentary in an attempt to encourage others to join the FDNY. “ A Good Job” also has a message to present firefighters--- don’t be afraid to ask for help after any harm they may have suffered.

A．firefighter

【3】Which can best describe Steve Buscemi?

B．Kind-hearted
C．Professional
D．Strong-minded

A．he was honored to be helpful to others
B．he felt more difficult to go through the attacks
C．people should think twice before helping others
D．the firehouse he worked with contacted him after the attacks
30、Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary part of the learning process. As a parent or a teacher, we should help our children _________ this fact. Donnie and his teacher, Mary Anne give us a good example.
Donnie was a third-grader. His _________ of failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoy. Mary was a young and pretty teacher, and she loved children. She tried to build Donnie’s self-confidence, but _________ changed for quite a long time.
One morning the students were working math problems on the blackboard. Donnie had copied the problems with neatness. _________ with his progress, Mary left the classroom and went for some other materials. When she returned, Donnie was in tears. He’d _________ the third problem.
Mary looked at her student _________. Then from the desk, she got a container filled with pencils. “Look, Donnie,” she said, kneeling beside him and gently _________ his face from his arms. “I’ve got something to show you.” She removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk. “See these pencils, Donnie?” she continued. “They belong to me. See how the erasers are _________? That’s because I make mistakes too, but I erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you must learn to do, too.”
She kissed Donnie and stood up. “Here,” she said, “I’ll leave one of these pencils on your desk so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, even teachers.” Donnie looked up at his teacher in _________ and with a smile.

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.
The Floating School
Life on the islands can feel a bit isolated due to a lack of electricity and internet connectivity.
Although some of the islands have primary schools, most young people must travel to the larger islands or to the mainland to attend high school. Schools on the islands follow the 【1】 curriculum (课程). They don't teach subjects such as maritime skills, swimming or local fishing traditions, and so the curriculum isn't always 【2】 with students' everyday life.
So, we 【3】 the Floating School after winning funding through a US State Department grant competition called Seeds for the Future. Before we started the school, we spoke with young people, community leaders and teachers on the islands to find out the topics young people are most interested in. We also learned about the various 【4】 of students and young people who don't go to school. Thus, we 【5】 our own non-formal educational programme that fits with the context of life on the islands. For example, those working in fishing have responsibility 【6】 the marine life, so we teach environmental protection and discourage destructive fishing practices.
The Floating School is a wooden boat that can 【7】 up to twenty people and it goes to the students, not the other way around -- we use it to transport educational materials, tools, and teachers to young people living on the islands. Our teachers are local young 【8】— so far we have had journalists, photographers, computer engineers and musicians — and students who want to 【9】 their skills.
At first, many of the young people thought the Floating School would be the same as their schools on the islands. They had thought of the teachers to be 【10】. But our students learn through art, media and literature. They don't have to wear uniforms or shoes, and the teachers treat the students as equals, without judging them. This means our students can be themselves.
