26、 You have probably heard that Japan has among the highest life expectancy(预期寿命) in the world and that the island of Okinawa(冲绳) has the greatest concentration(浓度) of centenarians(百岁老人). But do you know that two-thirds of the centenarians are still functioning independently? That means they are in their own homes, cooking their own meals and living their lives fully - at about 100 years old!
The elders there are less likely than their counterparts in the United States to have heart disease, dementia(痴呆) or certain cancers. Their bones are stronger than those of similarly aged people around the world. Many of these residents are the subjects of one of the largest studies of centenarians ever conducted. Since 1976, nearly a thousand centenarians on the islands have been studied.
More than anything, the Okinawa diet has long captured the headlines. Before knowing what the Okinawans eat, there is a valuable lesson in how they eat.
Remember this term: hara hachi bu. It is translated into English as “Stop eating when you are 80% full.” With hara hachi bu, the philosophy is that you should still be a little hungry when you push the plate away. You are also advised to reduce your portion(食物的分量) sizes, use smaller plates and eat more slowly.
There is a basic biological (生物学的) reason this works. It takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to send signals to the brain that it is full. Unfortunately, most people can shovel down another several hundred calories in that short time. Instead, if you push the plate away and just wait, you will have eaten less and still feel satisfied.
Eating less is associated with longevity, but of course, that also depends on what you eat. Okinawans typically eat seven different fruits and vegetables and 18 different foods a day, and more than 200 different foods and spices regularly in their overall diet.
However, the younger generations are eating more meat and fast food instead of fish and soy. The elderly there are still widely revered(崇敬), but there are fewer of them, and they are less often living to 100 than in decades past.
【1】What is the key to the high life expectancy in Okinawa?
A.What they eat B.How they eat
C.Where they live D.When they exercise
【2】Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined part “shovel down” in Paragraph 5?
A.fill in B.put down
C.fill out D.push away
【3】Which of the following statements about Okinawa is true?
A.The elderly are in bad need of mutual respect.
B.There are an increasing number of the elderly.
C.The younger generations have a varied diet.
D.Things are starting to change for the worse.
【4】Which could be the best title for the passage?
A.Eat less to live longer.
B.Healthy diets build longevity.
C.The Okinawa: a place of longevity.
D.Improve life expectancy? Slow down.
27、 Big changes in agriculture are taking place in Singapore. The small, Southeast Asian nation is leading a farming revolution, according to the Reuters news agency.
Singapore covers 724 square kilometers of land and only one percent of that land is used for agriculture. Food production costs are higher there than the rest of Southeast Asia. As climate change and population growth threaten food supplies, the pressure is on new farmers to answer the government's call to “grow more with less".
"Whenever 1 talk about food security in Sin gapore, I tell people don't think land —think space, because you can go upwards and sideways." said Paul Teng, an agriculture professor at Nanyang Technological University.
There are more than 30 vertical (垂直的)farms in Singapore — ones that grow up, not across, the land. Sustenir Agriculture is one of these businesses. Its hydroponic (水栽法的) farm grows non-native foods like cherry tomatoes and strawberries inside buildings under artificial lighting. Then it sells the produce to local supermarkets and online stores. Sustenir raised $16 million from investors (投资人)last year. The money will be used to expand operations in Singapore.
However, not everyone thinks the new technology is best. Egg farmer William Ho says the government should not depend so much on agriculture technology businesses. “ Many of them have failed. That's why I'm always asking the government why don't you invest in us old-timers. We are more practical," he said. Professor Paul Teng said an issue for urban farmers is that the high cost of the technology makes their products too pricey for many people .
【1】What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?
A. High food production costs.
B. Reasons for changes in agriculture.
C. Agricultural technology businesses.
D. Sale expansion of food markets
【2】What is the way to achieve food security according to Paul Teng?
A. Exploring up the land. B. Buying more food.
C. Enlarging farmland. D. Investing more money.
【3】What do we know about the old-timers?
A. They work on high-tech farms.
B. They benefit from pricey products.
C. They reduce production costs.
D. They need government support
【4】Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A guidebook. B. A brochure C. A newspaper. D. A journal.
28、 Compared to other causes of natural disasters, volcanoes offer clues only when they are about to erupt. Now, however, developments in monitoring systems have allowed scientists to develop sensors to detect and forecast eruptions more accurately.
University of Cambridge volcanologist Marie Edmonds says that scientists are now able to use very accurate sensors to monitor the gases volcanoes give out, which can give clues on the location of the magma. The sensors help with prediction because different gases are released at different stages of an eruption. When magma rises, pressure is released along with gases. Carbon dioxide is released early on and then, as the magma goes higher, Sulphur dioxide is released. The ratio of the two gases is used to detect the location of magma relative to the surface, telling researchers the coming of the eruption.
Edmonds is connected to an international group known as the Deep Carbon Observatory that has worked to put new gas sensors on fifteen of the most active and dangerous volcanoes to improve the forecasting of various types of eruptions. The gas sensors continually measure water vapor, sulphur dioxide, and carbon dioxide. They are placed inside large boxes with surface antennae and buried underground. Advances in electronics have increased their accuracy and lowered their cost, allowing more of them to be used worldwide.
Putting these sensors atop active volcanoes is dangerous. Scientists wear reflective suits that protect against heat, plus gas masks for protection from dangerous gases. They sometimes hike long distances in remote areas to reach a site. However, according to Edmonds, the work they do to save people’s lives makes a dangerous job worth it. She enjoys doing something that helps people.
Edmonds’ team has also attached sensors to a certain plane to measure gases released from a Papua New Guinea volcano for a short time, a technique developed to gather “snapshots” of the activity. These snapshots help researchers to better understand activities that lead to eruptions.
【1】How do sensors detect and predict volcanic eruptions?
A.By sending warnings to researchers. B.By testing different gases released.
C.By measuring the heat underground. D.By studying the surrounding gases.
【2】What do we know about the gas sensors?
A.They should be attached to the magma. B.They are available around the world.
C.They become more accurate and expensive. D.They can check various types of eruptions.
【3】Why is it risky to place sensors atop active volcanoes?
A.Active volcanoes may erupt at any time. B.It’s hard to find the top of volcanoes.
C.Scientists are short of enough suits and masks. D.There is heat and dangerous gases
【4】What can the snapshots do?
A.Predict volcanic eruptions earlier. B.Attract people’s attention to volcanoes.
C.Collect more information for researchers D.Avoid the danger of the researchers’ work.
29、Interview dressing tips for high school students
Most high school job seekers aren’t interviewing for professional jobs. Instead, they’re usually looking for part-time jobs in shops, restaurants, or volunteering. 【1】. In fact, a teen would look pretty silly in an adult business suit.
Here is a guide on what you should wear and shouldn’t wear in an interview.
Choose proper interview clothes
When you’re dressing for a job interview, your clothing should be in good condition, workplace proper.
【2】. Instead, try not to stand out, and fit into the office culture.
Wear dress shirts and slacks (长裤)
【3】. Paired with dark slacks, it’s a look that is mature (成熟的) and tasteful, but still comfortable.
【4】
Just because high school job interviews are more casual (随意的), you don’t have to rule out a tie!
After all, looking a little dressed up doesn’t hurt anyone. A tie can be a great choice for a young man, looking to make a good impression.
【5】
You should avoid extreme hairstyles or colors. Also, keep makeup to the minimum. No jeans or shorts, or anything especially low cut or too short－keeping everything professional is a must.
A.No ties.
B.What not to wear.
C.A tie can make a great impression.
D.It’s a perfect time to find your own preference.
E.It is not the time to show your unique style or personality.

An old wooden seat that Susan extremely valued often reminded her of mother’s Golden Rule.
Back in the 1930s, the country life was really tough. One day after dinner, Susan’s mother sat on the seat, announcing to the children the Golden Rule: “Treat others the way you want to be treated.” Susan reflected carefully and seriously on what her mother had said. She resolved that she would keep in mind and follow the rule.
One Saturday afternoon, she went to farmer Jason’s inn (小旅馆) to get the pay for her mother’s washing for the guests there, which amounted to five dollars. She found Jason in the yard, who, as all the villagers knew, was selfish and mean.
His eyes clouded with anger, as he had just finished a quarrel with one of his guests. He held in his hand an open wallet, full of bills. He barely noticed Susan until she made her request for the money. Instead of shouting at her, as usual, for troubling him when he was busy, he handed her a bank note.
Feeling relieved for escaping from Jason so easily, Susan hurried out of the inn. When carefully putting the money into her pocket, she discovered that Jason had given her two bills instead of one, and her first reaction was joy at the unexpected prize. She looked around and there was nobody nearby to share her discovery. “It is mine. All mine.” she said to herself. “I will buy mum a new coat with it, and she can give her old one to sister Mary, and then Mary can go to the Sunday school with me next winter. I wonder if I can buy a pair of shoes for brother Tom too.”
Just at that moment, she realized that Jason must have given the extra money to her by mistake, and therefore she had no right to own it. But a voice of temptation (诱惑) whispered, “He gave it, and you can keep it. He will never know, even if it is a mistake. ”
As Susan hurried home, this conflict went on in her mind.

Susan’s face became red with embarrassment and annoyance.
