26、 Do your children love to play in the virtual (虚拟的) online worlds? If so, don’t worry. Instead, you should be happy to know that.
A research report says that virtual worlds can be important places where children practice what they will do in real life. They are also a powerful and attractive alternative to more passive adventures like watching TV. The research was done with children using the BBC’s Adventure Rock virtual world, aimed at those aged 6-12. It surveyed and interviewed children who were the first to test the game.
The online world is a theme island built for the BBC’s children channel by Belgian game maker Larian. Children explore the world alone but they use message boards to share what they find and what they do in the different creative studios they find around the virtual space.
At times children were explorers and at others they were social climbers eager to connect with other players. Some were power users looking for more information about how the virtual space really worked. The children could try all kinds of things without having to be afraid of the consequences that would follow if they tried them in the real world. They learned many useful social skills and played around with their identity in ways that would be much more difficult in real life.
According to the study what children liked about virtual worlds was the chance to create content such as music, cartoons and videos.
The publishers of the report urges creators of virtual spaces for children to get young people involved very early on because they really do have good ideas to add and they are very good critical friends.

27、 When you enter a supermarket, you see shelves full of food. You walk between the shelves. You carry a shopping basket and your food is in it.
You probably hear soft, slow music as you walk between the shelves. If you hear fast music, you walk quickly. The supermarket plays slow music. You walk slowly and have more time to buy things.
Maybe you go to the meat department first. There is some meat on sale, and you want to find it. The manager of the supermarket knows where customers enter the meat department. The cheaper meat is at the other end of the meat department, away from where the customers enter. You have to walk by all the expensive meat before you find the cheaper meat. Maybe you will buy some of the expensive meat instead of the meat on sale.
The department selling milk and milk products such as butter and milk powder is called the dairy department. Many customers like milk that has only a little butterfat in it. One store has three different jars of low fat milk. One says “1 percent fat” on the jar. The second says “99 percent fat free”. The third says “LOW FAT” in big letters and “1%” in small letters. As you can see, all the milk has the same amount of fat. The milk is all the same. However, in this store the three jars of milk cost three different amounts of money. Maybe the customers will buy the milk that costs the most.

28、 Most of us maybe consider snakes to be cold, single beings, as uncaring to others of their kind as they are to us. But those ideas are wrong — especially when it comes to garter snakes (袜带蛇), a new study says.
These creatures, which appear from the cold plains of Canada to the forests of Costa Rica, have their own preferences about which snakes they hang out with — in other words, they have “friends”.
“All animals — even snakes — need to connect with others,” says Morgan Skinner, the study leader at Wilfrid Laurier University in Canada. To look into this theory, Skinner thought up a new experiment to find out the personalities and sociability of eastern garter snakes.
The results showed that “like us, they seek out friendship, and they’re particular about whom they make friends with,” says Skinner.
The idea that snakes have close social networks may be surprising, but such relationships are increasingly being found throughout the animal kingdom, from flamingos to bats to elephants. A recent study of bats showed, for example, that bats and humans both have friendships.
Scientists are likely better at discovering friendships among animals now than, say, 30 years ago, partly because many societies are more accepting of such an idea, and because researchers have far better tools for gathering information.
Analyzing social networks in wildlife, such as snakes, “has taken huge jumps in the last few decades,” says study co-author Noam Miller, Skinner’s advisor.
【1】What is the purpose of the experiment on garter snakes?
A.To prove Skinner’s theory is true.
B.To surprise Wilfrid Laurier University.
C.To do better research into the habitat of snakes.
D.To study the friendship between animals and humans.
【2】According to the study, garter snakes prefer to ________.
A.live on their own B.stay in cold areas
C.seek out friendship D.keep off the forests
【3】In which part of a newspaper may this text appear?
A.Health. B.Entertainment. C.Education. D.Science.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Friendship Is Valuable B.Wildlife Has Friends Too
C.Snakes Are Cold-blooded D.Animals Protect Each Other
29、The Tokyo Summer Olympics is going green. The 5,000 medals Japan has made are more special than most.
One novel focus of the Tokyo Olympics is to be“sustainable”— to avoid using too many natural resources, so that the games are easy on the environment. As part of this goal, the organizers decided to make all of the Olympic medals out of metal recycled from old electronics.
Almost all electronics are made with small amounts of "precious metals", like gold and silver. But collecting enough of these metals to make 5,000 medals was a huge challenge. That's because the amount of metal in each device is tiny. It would take about 20,000 cell phones to get just 1 kilogram of gold.
Beginning in April 2017, the organizers placed collection boxes around the country, and asked people to turn in their old electronic devices. Soon people began to respond to the initiative, turning in smartphones, digital cameras, hand-held games, and laptops. At first, collection went slowly, but soon more and more areas began to take part. By the end, 1,621 local governments had helped out with the collection process.
Then came the job of breaking those devices down into smaller pieces. After being taken apart and sorted, the small electronics were smelted (熔炼) to get all the gold, silver, and bronze elements. This is a tricky job, which calls for careful attention and good skill. It's also dangerous, because some of the metals and other things aren't safe for people to touch or breathe.
By the end of March, 2019, the organizers had hit their targets of getting enough metal for the medals. They had collected around3xkilograms of gold, 4,100 kilograms of silver and 2,200 kilograms of bronze. And now all the 5,000 medals are available for the would-be winners.
【1】What can we know about the Tokyo Olympics medals?
A.They are hugely valuable.
B.They are of high quality.
C.They are designed uniquely.
D.They are made from e-waste.
【2】What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A.The difficulty of making the medals.
B.The process of collecting old electronics.
C.The initiative to recycle used smartphones.
D.The classification of the collected devices.
【3】The underlined word “tricky”in Paragraph 5 means“__________”.
A.creative
B.well-paid
C.demanding
D.unique
【4】What's the purpose of Tokyo's way of making the medals?

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.
The elementary means of communicating with other people is conveying messages by voice. This fact is widely acknowledged and we recognize the voice as a(n) 【1】 characterizing the identity of a person. The array of voices is immeasurable as no two are exactly similar. They can be nasal, resonant or shrill produced in accordance with the individual physical【2】 of the throat.
One possible implementation of the 【3】 of voice recognition is voice profiling used by police analysts as a method of substantiating court evidence in trials. Every year, thousands of audiotapes with recorded interviews or 【4】 utterances are put to the purpose to help identify the probable 【5】. Specialists dealing with the voice investigation claim that people can give themselves away by their 【6】, inflections or other voice attributes like pitch, intensity and loudness. A recorded sample is usually 【7】 into electric impulses and later transformed into a pictorial recoding which is processed by a computer program. Very frequently voice analyst have a stake at deciphering the relevant information which may be 【8】 with background noise or other interfering sounds until they attain the 【9】 results.
Thankfully, these efforts help the police detect individuals who threaten their victims by phone or inform about bomb 【10】 or those who make offensive calls disturbing the peach of decent citizens.
