26、Cultural Relics in the UK
Thirty million people come to the UK every year and much of the attraction lies in Britain’s cultural relics - its palaces, cathedrals (大教堂), castles and museums. 【1】
Experience easy-to-reach city traffic.
London is usually the visitor’s first choice. 【2】 There is the underground system, the oldest in the world, or the traditional double-decker bus. A boat trip along the River Thames takes you to the Tower of London. Several famous people were imprisoned here - including one of King Henry Ⅷ’s wives, Anne Bolevn.
【3】
Taking a walk around the city is easy since there are maps in the streets to show you what is within a five-minute walk. You can get a great view of the city from 135 meters up on a huge wheel, the London Eye. Look across the river and you will see the Houses of Parliament and its famous clock tower, Big Ben. Walk east towards the City, the capital’s financial district, and you won’t fail to find St Paul’s Cathedral. It was rebuilt after the Great Fire of London in 1666. Take a friend up to the Whispering Gallery in the dome, stand on different sides and have a conversation by putting your ear to the wall and speaking very softly to each other.
Appreciate Stone enigma.
For one of the earliest and most amazing man-made structures in Britain, you shouldn’t miss Stonehenge. Standing on windy Salisbury Plain, the ancient stone circle draws visitors from all over the world to think about how it got there and why it was built. 【4】
A. The answer is still a puzzle.
B. So what exactly are they visiting?
C. Visit valuable relics in the countryside.
D. It has everything you would expect in a city.
E. Getting around is not too difficult.
F. Go around the city of London on foot.
27、Easy Habits That Help You Live Longer
♦ Go for a jog
Among all the things you can do to achieve longevity, one of the most critical is to exercise. Aerobic activity, like running, is important for getting your blood pumping and your heart working. A recent study showed that a one-hour run adds seven hours to your life, up to four hours per week. People who run have a 25 to 40 percent reduced risk of early death, and live about three years longer.
♦Get more sun—but not too much
The “Sunshine vitamin” -vitamin D, that is-has been shown to fight disease, improve bone health, and avoid depression. One study even found it to extend lifespan by 33 percent. But because vitamin D comes from the sun, and our modem lives don't let us spend much time outside, we might not be getting enough. Getting 15 to 30 minutes of sun exposure a day should be enough for vitamin D production.
♦ Eat more plant protein
A recent study from Harvard found that people who ate a diet high in processed meats like ham, were at a higher risk of death—but those who got their protein from plants had a lower risk, especially of heart disease-related deaths. The study said that for every three percent increase in calories from plant protein there was a reduction in risk of death by 10 percent.
♦Eat nuts
Although you may think nuts are unhealthy because they are calorically high, the exact opposite is true—they can actually extend your life. A study from Harvard found that daily nut-eaters were 20 percent less likely to die during the study. Specifically, the rates of death from heart and breathing disease were reduced. Other research has shown walnuts have a huge role in heart health because of the amount of antioxidants (抗氧剂）they contain.
【1】How long can you extend your life in a week by running?
A. 1 hour. B. 4 hours.
C. 7 hours. D. 28 hours.
【2】What is special about proper sunshine compared with the other three tips?
A. It lengths life.
B. It benefits bone.
C. It fights heart diseases.
D. It makes breathing system healthy.
【3】Which of the following best describes the last two tips?
A. Plant food is better than meat.
B. Heart disease causes the most deaths.
C. Nuts are unhealthy food.
D. Proper diets improve health.
28、A black hole is created when a large star burns out. Like our sun, stars are unbelievably hot furnaces(熔炉) that burn their own matter as fuel. When most of the fuel is used up, the star begins to die.
The death of a star is not a quiet event. First there is a huge explosion. As its outer layer is blasted off into space, the dying star shines as brightly as a billion suns.
After the explosion, gravity pulls in what's left of the star. As the outside of the star sinks toward the center, the star gets smaller and smaller. The material the star is made of becomes tightly packed together. A star is so solid that a teaspoon of matter from it weighs billions of pounds.
The more the star shrinks(收缩), the stronger the gravity inside it becomes. Soon the star is very tiny, and the gravity pulling it in is unbelievably strong. In fact, the gravity is so strong that it even pulls light into the star! Since all the light is pulled in, none can go out. The star becomes black when there is no light. Then a black hole is born!
That's what we know about black holes. What we don't know is this: What happens inside a black hole after the star has been squeezed into a tiny ball? Does it keep getting smaller and smaller forever? Such a possibility is hard to imagine.
But if the black hole doesn't keep shrinking, what happens to it? Some scientists think black holes are like doorways to another world. They say that as the star disappears from our universe, it goes into another universe. In other words a black hole in our universe could turn into a "white hole" in a different universe. As the black hole swallows(吞噬) light, the white hole shines brightly--somewhere else. But where? A different place, perhaps, or a different time--many years in the past or future.
Could you travel through a black hole? Right now, no. Nothing we know of could go into a black hole without being crushed(挤压). So far the time being, black hole must remain a mystery.
Black holes are a mystery--but that hasn't stopped scientists from dreaming about them. One scientist suggested that in the future we might make use of the power of black holes. They would supply all of Earth's energy needs, with plenty to spare. Another scientist wondered if a black hole could some day be used to swallow earthly waste--a sort of huge waste disposal(处理) in the sky!
【1】When the star begins to die ______.
A. there is no fuel left in it B. a huge explosion will happen
C. its outer layer goes into space first D. it doesn't give off light any longer
【2】Which of the following doesn't help produce a black hole?
A. The dying star shines less brightly.
B. The light can't go out of the star.
C. The star becomes smaller and smaller
D. The gravity inside the star is very strong.
【3】The black hole ______.
A. continues becoming smaller and smaller all the time
B. goes into another universe and becomes a white hole
C. will appear at another place at a different time
D. can pull in everything we know of in the world
【4】What's the best title for this passage?
A. A New Scientific Discovery: Black Holes
B. What Are Black Holes?
C. How Do Black Holes Swallow Light?
D. Travel Through A Black Hole
29、Every April I am troubled by the same concern -- that spring might not occur this year. The landscape looks dull, with hills, sky and forest appearing gray. My spirits ebb, as they did during an April snowfall when I first came to Maine 15 years ago. "Just wait," a neighbor advised. "You'll wake up one morning and spring will just be here."
And look, on May 3 that year I awoke to a green so amazing as to be almost electric, as if spring were simply a matter of flipping a switch. Hills, sky and forest revealed their purples, blues and green.
Leaves had unfolded and daffodils（水仙花）were fighting their way heavenward.
Then there was the old apple tree. It sits on an undeveloped lot in my neighborhood. It belongs to no one and therefore to everyone. The tree's dark twisted branches stretch out, unpruned（未经修 剪的）. Each spring it blossoms so freely that the air becomes filled with the smell of apple.
Until last year, I thought I was the only one aware of this tree. And then one day, in a bit of spring madness, I set out with pruner to remove a few disorderly branches. No sooner had I arrived under the tree than neighbors opened their windows and stepped outside. These were people I barely knew and seldom spoke to, but it was as if I had come uninvited into their personal gardens.
My mobile-home neighbor was the first to speak. "You're not cutting it down, are you?" she asked anxiously. Another neighbor frowned as I cut off a branch. "Don't kill it, now," he warned. Soon half the neighborhood had joined me under the apple tree. It struck me that I had lived there for five years and only now was learning these people's names, what they did for a living and how they passed the winter. It was as if the old apple tree was gathering us under its branches for the purpose of both acquaintanceship and shared wonder. I couldn't help recalling Robert Frost's words:
The trees that have it in their pent-up buds
To darken nature and be summer woods
One thaw(解冻) led to another. Just the other day I saw one of my neighbors at the local store. He remarked how this recent winter had been especially long and complained of not having seen or spoken at length to anyone in our neighborhood. And then, he looked at me and said, "We need to prune that apple tree again."
【1】By saying that “my spirits ebb” (Para. 1), the author means that .
A．he feels blue
B．he feels relieved
C．he is surprised
D．he is tired
【2】According to Para. 4, why did the neighbors open their windows and step outside?
A．They were surprised that someone unknown was pruning the tree.
B．They wanted to prevent the author from pruning the tree
C．They were concerned about the safety of the tree
D．They wanted to get to know the author
【3】The apple tree mentioned in the passage is most likely to .
A．be attractive only to the author
B．have been abandoned by its original owner
C．be regarded as a delight in the neighborhood
D．have been ignored by everyone in the community
