26、 In the past few decades, the way we shop has changed dramatically. We used to buy our goods in traditional shops. Now, customers are increasingly buying online, where they can order whatever they want directly to their door with the click of a mouse. As companies race to improve their Internet shopping experience, the trend towards shopping online is predicted to continue.
Most people commonly think that online shopping is better than in-store shopping. After all, an online store does not use the electricity that a traditional store might use and it doesn't require the customer to drive anywhere. So you would think the carbon savings must be significant.
Take the typical home delivery round in the UK, for example. Supermarket drivers often do 120 deliveries on an 80-kilometre round, producing 20 kilograms of CO2 in total. In contrast, a 21-kilometre drive to the store and back for one household would produce 24 times more CO2! However, the reality is slightly more complex than that. Many home deliveries fail the first time and the driver has to make a second or third attempt to deliver the purchase.
The carbon footprint also goes up if the customer chooses to return the item. A study in Germany shows that as many as one in three online purchases are returned. According to another study, merchandise（商品）worth nearly $326 million is returned each year in the USA. Two billion kilograms of this ends up in landfill（垃圾填埋池）, leading to 133 tons of CO2 being released.
When we take all these factors into consideration, we realize that online shopping isn't necessarily as green as people might think. There is some positive news, as various online retailers（零售商）are starting to lower their carbon footprint by turning to electric delivery vehicles. However, the question of how to deal with returns efficiently and without waste is a challenge that many companies have not wanted to face, but they have to shoulder responsibilities.
【1】What is a common belief about online shopping according to the text?
A．It increases companies' pressure.
B．It costs less than in-store shopping.
C．It is more environmentally-friendly.
D．It improves customers' shopping experience.
【2】The data in Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 mainly shows that ________.
A．online shopping is sometimes inconvenient
B．some online items are actually of poor quality
C．customers should think twice before shopping
D．online shopping may cause much carbon footprint
【3】How do online retailers try to reduce carbon footprint?
A．By cutting the distance of delivery.
B．By using a greener way of delivery.
C．By choosing to sell electric vehicles.
D．By recycling their customers' returns.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A．Online shopping has bad impacts on the environment.
B．The trend towards shopping online will continue.
C．Online companies cause much carbon footprint.
D．Online shopping is greener than in-store shopping.
27、Whether you are crazy about cycling or not, when it comes to purchasing a bike, the choice is endless, making it tough to know what to go for. Here are the best buys on the market right now.
Boardman CX Comp
This is a cross country bike, and it’s so multi-functional that you can handle any terrain(地势) on it, making it a great choice for those wanting to try various cycling subjects.

Specialized Allez E5
Specialized is one of the biggest and most popular brands in cycling, and this is its hugely popular primary road bike. It comes with solid components from front to back and you'll look great out on the road.(£ 75, Evans Cycles)

28、 Genghis Khan（成吉思汗）remains to this day one of the most successful men to have walked the Earth. Rising from an outcast to be the ruler of the largest land empire to have ever existed, he introduced an alphabet and an official form of money, united a kingdom of tribes at war with each other, and conquered most of the known world. His empire spread from Poland to Japan. It is estimated that one in every 200 men on the planet today is related to Genghis Khan. But there are no accounts of the events that surrounded his death and burial; only a mystery focused around an area known as the Forbidden Zone.
From the time of the Khan's death in 1227 up until 1991 the Forbidden Zone was as off-limits as any place in the world. Shortly after he died, the surviving Mongol leaders ordered a group of 50 fierce families, known as the Uryangqai of the Woods, to occupy this land and kill anyone who entered without permission.
They made exceptions only for the funeral processions（队伍）of the Khan's direct descendants, who were also allowed to be buried there. This extreme degree of secrecy has led many to the conclusion that the body of Genghis Khan himself lies in a tomb somewhere in this zone, along with some of the treasures of an empire vaster than those of Napoleon and Alexander the Great combined. When the U.S.S. R.（前苏联）took over Mongolia in 1924; they killed all the Uryangqai of the Woods just as they tried to erase the memory of the great Khan. The Forbidden Zone -still remained off-limits, however. It wasn't until the fall of the U.S.S.R. in 1991 that entering the Forbidden Zone became possible for scientists and historians. Even today, eight centuries after it quietly rested, the Forbidden Zone has been visited by very few.
【1】Which of the following statements about Genghis Khan is TRUE?
A.He was the ruler of the largest empire in history.
B.He united and occupied many parts of the world.
C.An exact number of 200 people are related to him today.
D.He was buried in what is known as the Forbidden Zone.
【2】What can we learn about the Uryangqai of the Woods?
A.They buried Genghis Khan's body in secret.
B.They were ordered to occupy the Forbidden Zone.
C.They were killed because they hated Genghis Khan.
D.They forbade everyone from entering the Forbidden Zone.
【3】What would the author probably write about next?
A.Who visited the Forbidden Zone.
B.When the Forbidden Zone was discovered.
C.Why the U.S.S.R. killed all the Uryangqai.
D.How the great Khan conquered the known world.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.Genghis Khan, a Great Emperor
B.The Forbidden Zone, a Remaining Mystery
C.The Discovery of Genghis Khan's Tomb
D.The Bravery of the Uryangqai of the Woods
29、Believe it or not, humans spend roughly one-third of their lives asleep. No wonder the quality of our sleep is so closely linked to the quality of our lives. 【1】 Here are some fun facts related to sleep that you might not know about. Let’s find out!
How do astronauts sleep?
A person in space goes to bed at night then wakes up the next day. But it’s a little different since there is no up or down and no pull of gravity. 【2】 Astronauts can attach themselves to a wall, a seat or a bed inside the cabin so they don’t float around or bump into something.
【3】
We’re all familiar with songs getting stuck in our heads while we’re awake. This phenomenon is called earworms. It turns out that this can happen during sleep as well. Even if we’re asleep, our brains continue to process music, which could cause problems in getting to sleep and staying asleep.
Sleep with your pet?
Is it good for you to sleep with a pet? Experts have traditionally said no. Pets, like dogs and cats, do not sleep continuously and they will often get up and walk on the bed. All of the activities will lead to a disturbed sleep. 【4】 But recent studies found that people with depression or anxiety may benefit from having their pets in the bed.
Socks can help us sleep?
【5】 Putting on a pair of socks at bedtime will help you fall asleep 15 minutes earlier and wake up far less. Wearing socks can help a process called distal vasodilation, which refers to an increase of blood to your hands and feet.
A．Can you feel the music clearly?
B．Earworms happen while sleeping?
C．This might cause you to sleep even worse.
D．Hence, weightless astronauts can sleep anywhere.
E．Your sleep will improve with a pair of warm feet.
F．A sound sleep can bring a good mood and energy.
G．Too little sleep will affect academic performances.
