26、Armed with surprisingly powerful forelegs, the brown bear, also known as grizzly, is the fastest of the eight bear species, reaching speeds of up to 35 mph. The grizzly is only slightly faster than the world’s most common bear species, the American black bear.
Of course, a bear would be able to achieve such a speed only at the top of its athletic ability—not fresh out of hibernation (冬眠), having lost 15% to 30% of its body weight — and only on certain soft, flat surfaces into which their long claws (爪子) can run easily.
In any case, bears are surprisingly fast considering their huge bodies. Discover the characters that make their quickness possible, and what to do (besides run) if you encounter one in the wild.
Even the fastest known human on Earth, Usain Bolt, could not run faster than a determined black or grizzly bear at its top speed. The famous Jamaican short-distance runner achieved the fastest recorded human foot speed ever during a 2009 race in Berlin. He was clocked going an unbelievable 27.8 mph, about 4 mph faster than his average (平均) speed and more than 10 mph faster than the average human runner. Still, that’s 7 mph slower than the supposed top speed of a grizzly and just over 2 mph short of a black bear’s.
At his record speed, Bolt may be able to run faster than a slow polar bear, which tops out at 24 mph, or a panda, which can reportedly go 20 mph. A bear, however, can keep up speeds of 25 to 28 miles per hour for 2 miles. The average human, running at a comparatively slow 15 mph, would simply not stand a chance. The good news is that bears, and most wildlife, would usually rather avoid humans than run after them. They generally only attack to protect their food, young, and space.
【1】What does the text mainly tell about the bear?
A．Its types.
B．Its speed.
C．Its power.
D．Its weight.
【2】What does the underlined word “ encounter” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Watch over.
B．Pick out.
C．Run after.
D．Come across.
【3】Why did the author mention the world-famous runner?
A．To make readers better understand the bears' speed.
B．To describe the fastest man in the world.
C．To warn us of the great danger from the bears.
D．To introduce a new topic to discuss.
【4】Which of the following runs the second fastest according to the last paragraph?
A．A bear.
B．A panda.
C．A polar bear.
D．An average human.
27、Whatever your tastes are, it is highly unlikely that many of you are using 3D printers to create your favorite meals. Still, anyone interested in the future of food can find technologists printing out snacks, from steaks to cakes, at the push of a button. Now laser cooking has arrived and it is adding an entirely new layer of gourmet (美食家) taste.
Columbia’s Creative Machines Lab team is hoping to build a digital personal chef to deliver taste, materials, and food to suit individual tastes. So far their experiments with chicken have created laser-cooked examples that have the same flavor as cooking, but use 50 percent fewer ingredients, and have the double content.
“In fact, our two blind taste testers preferred laser-cooked meat to the conventionally cooked samples, which shows the promise for this burgeoning technology,” said project leader James Blutinger. Scientists are working to promote this technology.
Creating software that would allow chefs to make their own designs—a Photoshop of food—is the next step. “We need high-level software that enables people who are not programmers to design the foods they want,” said group leader Hod Lipson. “And then we need a place where people can share digital directions as they share music.”
All of this could well change the way we think about and eat food. High on the list of positives is the fact that printed food can be healthier, lessen the environmental impact of food production—especially red meat—and cut waste.
Global food waste hit almost one billion metric tons in 2021. So future companies that turn food waste into tasty dishes and food decorations—like Natural Machines or Upprinting Food—are a welcome development. As food printing becomes more widespread, we may see instant printed and recycled meals as the dietary solution we were looking for.
【1】What is the function of Paragraph 1?
A．To show the popularity of 3D printers.
B．To lead to the topic of laser cooking.
C．To illustrate the process of cooking meals.
D．To demonstrate the ease of laser cooking.
【2】What does the underlined word “burgeoning” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Promising greatly.
B．Growing rapidly.
C．Shining hugely.
D．Spreading quickly.
【3】What does Columbia’s Creative Machines Lab team plan to do next?
A．Create a Photoshop of food.
B．Design recipes to suit individual tastes.
C．Build an automated digital personal chef.
D．Turn food waste into tasty dishes.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A．How to create your favorite meals.
B．What laser printing meant to our life.
C．The global food waste problem.
D．The laser cooks meals.
28、Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not bring so much material home in the first place.
The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.
Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.
But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.
There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.
【1】What does the underlined word “over-consumption” refer to?
A．Using too much packaging.
B．Recycling too much waste.
C．Making more products than necessary.
D．Having more material than is needed.
【2】The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show ________.
A．the tendency of cutting household waste
B．the increase of packaging recycling
C．the rapid growth of supermarkets
D．the fact of packaging overuse
【3】What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A．Unpackaged products are of bad quality.
B．Supermarkets care more about packaging.
C．It is improper to judge quality by packaging.
D．Other products are better packaged than food.
【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Fighting wastefulness is difficult.
B．Needless material is mostly recycled.
C．People like collecting recyclable waste.
D．The author is proud of his consumer culture.
29、How to preserve the lockdown’s slower pace
The last 15 months of pandemic forced a slowdown in families’ often-crazed pace. Sports and after-school activities all disappeared in 2020. Now, communities reopen and calendars again fill with summer plans. 【1】 In a recent research, 31 percent of families said that they plan to take part in fewer after-school activities. Megan, a mother of two teenagers, learned how stressful a crowded schedule could be. Now, with less running around to sports and singing practices, both Megan and her children are enjoying the simple things in life. 【2】
【3】 In fact, all of us now have a unique opportunity to turn to what we care about and to be intentional about our time. To do so, make a list of the pros and cons of your life right now, and refer to that list as your calendar fills up. It’s important to identify and establish boundaries to help preserve the pros. 【4】
When making your list of pros and cons, be specific about any of your daily interactions that were harmful, relationships that were unproductive, and the life patterns that made you unhappy. Ridding a harmful person of your life can be trickier than setting aside a hobby. 【5】 If the pandemic has been a welcome dismissal (摒弃) of these relationships, this moment is the best chance you might ever have to do so.
A．The pandemic challenged parents everywhere.
B．The chance to change attitudes isn’t just for parents.
C．So set up reminders to reduce your schedule regularly.
D．But we all have relationships that don’t benefit both sides.
E．They spend time at the dining table and even outdoors together.
F．Some parents are still determined to hold on to the relaxed pace.
G．You should consider any people in your life who drag you down.
30、What is the first thing you think of when you hear the word “Hollywood?” Fame or maybe money. Each actor or actress has their own way of becoming famous. But some ______ in their own way. One hero in Hollywood, and the only one that ______ millions of lives, by joining United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), was Audrey Hepburn.

All the ______ times she experienced made her think of helping others in need, and that led her to join UNICEF.
Audrey helped children throughout the world by supplying them with love and courage. Most of Hollywood’s stars only think about what will make them ______ and what will make people like them more.

Audrey is ______ not only because of her hard times during the wars, but also her ______ helping those who have the same childhood as she did.
