26、The food we eat seems to have a great effect on our health. Although science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps 80% of human illness is related to food and 40% of cancer is related to food as well. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep colour in meats and other food additives（添加剂）caused cancer.
Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it is difficult to know which things on the wrappings（包装）of foods are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to their animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of cows. Sometimes similar things are supplied to animals not for their health, but just to make a profit.
The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market. Although some countries have tried to control such things, the practice continues.
【1】According to this passage, we can know .
A. perhaps most of human illness is caused by what we eat
B. perhaps most kinds of cancer are related to what people eat
C. cancer was discovered in 1945
D. science has made food unfit to eat
【2】Things that are used to keep colours in meats are .
A. harmful B. useless C. helpless D. delicious
【3】 Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Some wrappings of food are harmful.
B. Farmers try to make more money on the market by fattening their animals.
C. The practice continues means things are still going on like that.
D. We needn’t take care of what we eat.
27、 Vanuatu is an island nation in the South Pacific. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventure and sport, there is a lot to do. Vanuatu’s islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano (火山) surfing and land diving.
Volcano Surfing
On Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 300 meters into the sky. Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts (喷发) almost every day, sometimes several times a day. For centuries, people have climbed this mountain to visit the top. Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. In some ways, volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea, but in other ways it is very different.
Land Diving
Most people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony (仪式). A man ties tree vines (树藤) to his legs. He then jumps head-first from a high tower to touch the earth with the top of his head — without breaking the vine. Every spring, island natives (men only) still take part in this amazing activity.
【1】According to the passage, Mount Yasur .
A.is no longer active B.is on Pentecost Island
C.erupts almost every day D.rises 800 meters into the sky
【2】Why have people recently started climbing Mount Yasur?
A.People can climb it easily. B.People can make money.
C.People can watch snow on it. D.People can surf the volcano.
【3】Which of the following about land diving is true?
A.It is not dangerous at all.
B.It was first called “bungee jumping”.
C.It is a traditional activity in Vanuatu.
D.It came to Vanuatu from another country.
28、Trust me, you don't want to get caught under a tsunami! Tsunamis are one of the world's most powerful natural forces.【1】
But do you know exactly what a tsunami is? It is huge, powerful waves in the ocean that grow as they reach the shore.【2】An earthquake happens when a big piece of the Earth's crust（地壳）suddenly moves. When the piece of ocean floor moves, it creates big holes. The water floods in to fill these holes. When the water moves that quickly, it creates a huge wave.【3】
Other natural disasters like landslides, volcanic eruptions, and glaciers breaking off can also cause tsunamis. Once the water starts moving because of the force of the disaster, large waves begin to spread.【4】They have been recorded at speeds from 400 up to 500 miles per hour! They can also move across very long distances.
At first, the waves of the tsunami may not seem that tall. That's because when the waves travel through the deep parts of the ocean, the top of each wave is very short. But as that wave comes near to the coast, it grows in height.【5】If you are sitting on a beach, you may not see the wave coming at first. But when the wave arrives, it will be like a towering wall of water. Some waves are as tall as 100 feet high.
A．They can cause great damage.
B．This is how tsunamis are born!
C．These waves can move very fast.
D．Remember, the tsunami travels quickly.
E．A tsunami wave is a force of Nature.
F．Tsunamis, are also known as seismic waves.
G．Most tsunamis are actually caused by earthquakes.
29、When my students ask me why I live in a tiny house, they ask it in light of all the “sacrifices(牺牲)”I an making. They know that I have moved from a large apartment in the city to a small custom-built home on wheels in the backyard woods. They know I forego running water, Internet connection, sewage(下水道), and reliable phone reception.
However, it was possible for me to be truly happy while living with very few material things. My body responded well, in health, fitness and mood, to a schedule more consistent(一致的)with the natural day and night cycle. Observing the daily sunset, hosting friends for days at a time, reading, writing letters to my families and friends and exploring natural wonders in my spare time all were free and invaluable experiences.
What was necessary to my survival proved to be a rather short list-healthy food, clean and drinkable water, heat source, weather-protecting shelter, weather-suitable clothing, equally important friends and mental and physical stimulations(刺激).
When I returned to life in the US, I couldn’t help but sense a deep and uneasy belief that life suddenly changed. I felt disconnected with many things- the earth, others, my food source, my waste disposal, the natural cycle of my body and the productive interests. These are the things I once cared for but now find myself too busy to enjoy. How was it that I was earning literally 40 times my Peace Corps salary and was less healthy, satisfied and intentional in my daily schedule? I found myuself asking-what is it to be rich anyway? Therefore, last August I let go of most of my possessions and moved into a tiny house on wheels because I wanted to see if I could live a more enjoyable lifestyle. So far so good. No inconvenience has made up for the many positive benefits that continue to come from this change in lifestyle. I believe that I have made the right decision.
【1】 What does the underlined word “forego” in the first paragraph probably mean?
A. Give away. B. Take along.
C. Care for. D. Go after.
【2】What interested the author most when living in the tiny house?
A. The natural living schedule.
B. Busy and invaluable experiences.
C. The happiness of the simple life.
D. The very few material possessions.
【3】What did the author feel when he returned to the US?
A. He was behind the times.
B. He wouldn’t enjoy the modern life.
C. He was rich enough to enjoy the city life.
D. He was disconnected with the outside world.
