26、Unlike well-trained dogs that are able to distinguish (辨别) between common orders like "sit" and "stay", some "Gifted Word Learner" dogs can associate objects with words.
One year ago, Shany Dror and her colleagues at Eötvös Loránd University in Hungary discovered that some dogs have an obviously excellent natural ability to acquire object names. To study this further — how many words they can learn in a certain period of time and whether they can still remember the words after an extended period — they looked for more "Gifted Word Learner" dogs online and, in the end, they found six qualified dogs.
The researchers sent each dog's owner six new toys. Owners then had six days to teach their dogs the names of the toys with their usual methods. These generally involved playing with the dog and each toy, often for just half an hour a day. At the end of the six-day learning period, the research team used online video conferencing to test the dogs' abilities to pick out each toy by name from a number of old and new toys. Each owner sat with their dog in one room and told them to fetch a given toy from a second room. All the dogs successfully brought back at least five of the six new toys. The team then sent another 12 new toys and repeated the process. All the dogs successfully brought back at least 11 of the toys.
Afterwards, half the new toys were stored for one month, and the other half for two months, and the dogs were tested again after each storage period. Five of the dogs remembered all the toy names after one month, and four dogs remembered all or almost all of them after two months.
Dror says these dogs, which are raised in the home like human children, provide an excellent animal model (模式) for studying the way humans acquire language. An animal model offers a basis of comparison for understanding which language-learning skills are specific to humans, and which aren't. "We want to understand what makes humans different," says Dror.
【1】What is the research mainly about?
A．Dogs' daily behaviors.
B．Dog training methods.
C．Dog-human relationship.
D．Dogs' learning ability.
【2】What is the reason the six dogs were chosen for the research?
A．Their talent for learning object names.
B．Their ability to recognize human voice.
C．Their tendency to follow human orders.
D．Their intelligence to interact with human.
【3】The six dogs learned the toy names through ________.
A．video games
B．continuous training
C．counting toys
D．playing outdoors
【4】Why were the dogs tested again after one or two months?
A．To check their learning progress.
B．To study their long-term memory.

D．To maintain their interest in learning.
27、 If businesses are to get workers back into the office during the epidemic(疫情) period, finding ways to maintain social distancing will be key. An Israeli company thinks it can help, using smart sensors mounted on workplace ceilings(天花板).
PointGrab developed its technology before the epidemic to help workspace managers optimize(优化)how employees use office space. About the size of smoke alarm, the sensors can record the exact number and location of people in buildings including offices, hotels and restaurants.
One of the company's first customers was Deloitte, which installed the system at its flagship London office last year. PointGrab's sensors were connected to screens in the building to show the availability of desks and shared areas in real time. PointGrab CEO Doron Shachar says it was one of a range of innovations that helped Deloitte fit 30% more people into 3% less space.
Now PointGrab has adapted the technology so the sensors can also monitor social distancing by keeping track of how far apart people are, and whether they're traveling in one direction around a building.
Workspace managers can set up warnings for when two people are closer than two meters for more than 30 seconds, for example.
The sensors have been included in the “six feet office” concept created by real estate(房地产) services company Cushman and Wakefield to encourage employees to practice social distancing. They are currently being used in this way at a university in the Netherlands, and at an innovation hub in Belgium.
While the social distancing innovation is new, PointGrab has deployed ( 部署)more than 10,000 sensors for workspace optimization, including in the offices of Coca-Cola, Facebook and Dell.
Workers might not like the idea of being monitored, but PointGrab says no images or identifying features are recorded. Instead, each employee is represented as an anonymous(无名的)dot on a dashboard.
“The sensor does respect people's privacy,” Shachar says. “This is extremely important the workspace.”
【1】Which world can replace “mounted” in the first paragraph?
A.adapted B.connected C.fixed D.included
【2】The technology was first used by Deloitte to .
A.make the best of employees' office space
B.keep track of how far apart employees are
C.encourage employees to practice social distancing
D.monitor people's privacy
【3】Which of the following is NOT right?
A.Smart sensors can help save more space.
B.People will be warned when they are too closer.
C.Smart sensors will be installed in the offices of Facebook.
D.People's privacy can be recorded clearly.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A.Smart sensors will help maintain social distancing.
B.Getting workers back into the office is not easy.
C.How an Israeli company develop smart sensors.
D.Social distancing is extremely important in the workspace.
28、 In the 1990s, when an area of Brazilian rainforest the size of Belgium was cut down every year, Brazil was the world’s environmental villain (反派角色) and the Amazonian jungles the image of everything that was going wrong in green places. Now, the Amazon ought to be the image of what is going right. Government figures show that deforestation fell by 70% in the Brazilian Amazon region during the past decade. If clearances had continued at their rate in 2005, an extra 3.2 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide would have been put into the atmosphere. That is an amount equal to a year’s emissions from the European Union. Arguably, then, Brazil is now the world leader in addressing climate change.
But how did it break the vicious cycle (恶性循环)? The answer, according to a paper is that there was no silver bullet but instead a three-stage process in which bans, better governance in frontier areas and consumer pressure on companies worked.
The first stage ran from the mid-1990s to 2004. This was when the government put its efforts into bans and restrictions. The Brazilian Forest Code said that, on every farm in the Amazon, 80% of the land had to be set aside as a forest reserve. As the study observes, this share was so high that the code could not be followed --- or enforced. This was the period of the worst deforestation. Soybean prices were high and there were a vast expansion of soybean farming on the south-eastern border of the rainforest.
During the second stage, which ran from 2005 to 2009, the government tried to boost its ability to police the Amazon. Brazil’s president made stopping deforestation a priority, which resulted in better co-operation between different bits of the government. The area in which farming was banned was increased from a sixth to nearly half of the forest.
The third stage, which began in 2009, was a test of whether a system of restrictions could survive as soybean expansion continued. The government shifted its focus from farms to counties (each state has scores of these). Farmers in the 36 counties with the worst deforestation rates were banned from getting cheap credit until those rates fell.
By any standards, Brazil’s Amazon policy has been a success, made the more remarkable because it relied on restrictions rather than rewards, which might have been expected to have worked better. Over the period of the study, Brazil also turned itself into a farming superpower, so the country has shown it is possible to get a huge increase in food output without destroying the forest. Moreover, the policies so far have been successful among commercial farms who care about the law and respond to market pressures. Most remaining deforestation is by small holders who care rather less about these things, so the government faces the problem of persuading them to change their ways, too. Deforestation has been slowed, but not yet stopped.
【1】Brazil is considered to play a leading role in dealing with climate change because ________.
A.it has rainforest as large as Belgium.
B.it has cut down too much rainforest.
C.it has taken action to reduce deforestation.
D.it sent 3.2 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the air.
【2】The underlined phrase “silver bullet” in Paragraph 2 most probably refers to _______.
A.a powerful weapon. B.an effective solution.
C.an intelligent device. D.a golden opportunity.
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Brazil has successfully eliminated deforestation.
B.All the farmers care much about forest protection.
C.Small farm holders are a headache for the Brazilian government.
D.Both the food output and the forest in Brazil have greatly increased.
【4】What can be the best title of the passage?
A.Cutting Down on Cutting Down. B.Brazil, the World Leader in Farming.
C.Restrictions Outperforming Rewards. D.Former Awareness Working Wonders.
29、Skyscrapers (摩天大楼) are the symbol of urban life. City people are used to seeing tall buildings and apartments. Farms, on the other hand, are associated with rural life. However, there are experts who think skyscrapers should become farms to meet the Increasing food needs.
By the middle of this century, some scientists suggest, almost 80% of the earth’s population could live in cities. In addition, the population could increase to 9.1 billion people during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. If current farming practices don’t change, we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet.
Vertical (垂直的) farms, where urban farmers could grow crops io environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make it a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.
Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming could be free of chemicals and diseases. Besides, crops would not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally, vertical farms would reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over long distances.
Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldn’t be enough. For this reason, vertical farms would need additional light sources, such as artificial light.
Another way of growing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. This more practical approach may be more achievable than the idea of farms in skyscrapers, researchers suggest. Experts agree that innovative (革新的) farming practices are needed to support the need for more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer, but the best ideas could be yet to come.
【1】What primary problem could vertical farming settle?
A．Poor state of rural life.
B．Shortage of food supply.
C．High cost for transporting crops.
D．Environmental pollution by transitional farmings.
【2】What is the advantage of vertical farming?
A．It can produce organic food.
B．It requires little care.
C．It can benefit transport industry
D．It needs very low cost.
【3】What is a big challenge to make vertical farming a reality?
A．High costs.
B．Crop diseases.
C．Light sources.
D．Climate conditions.
【4】What can be the best title of the test?
A．Future Food Needs.
B．Symbol of Urban Life.
C．Farming on Rooftops.
D．Farms of the Future.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Cami’s First Soccer Game
Cami’s knees shook as she ran onto the field.
“OK!” called Wood, the coach of Diamond Team.“Remember three things. One, use your feet, not your hands. Two, aim for the goal. Three, which way are we going, Diamonds?”
Cami pointed, trying yelling “That way!”with her teammates, but only a weak voice came out. It was her first soccer game ever, about which Cami had been more excited than starting first grade. She had even tried to wear her soccer shoes to bed last night. But now she was scared, for there were too many kids, too many parents, and too many rules.
Twe-eet! The game was on! Mothers and fathers cheered. Cami ran, too, but not very close to the others. Her best friend, Rosa, kicked the ball. It popped (砰) out beside Cami, who froze, standing rooted to the spot. The group headed toward her, flowing past on either side. Mom and Dad cheered Cami on, but she just stood there, facing her goal.
At last, the whistle blew for halftime. After taking a short rest, Rosa yelled at Cami to pull her back onto the field. Cami’s team faced the other way for the second half. “Cami, you play defense,” Coach said.”Try to stop the ball from getting by you, OK?” Cami nodded and looked behind her at the Diamond goalkeeper. She clapped her gloves and smiled.However, Cami was too nervous to smile back. “Which way are we going, Diamonds?” Coach asked. This time Cami joined in. “That way!”
Twe-eet! Again, the players ran back and forth, up and down. But Cami still didn’t move. Dad shouted, “Go, Cami!” Mom cried, “Come on, Cami!” Cami swallowed hard. Her feet felt as if they were buried deep in beach sand. The players pounded toward her. Who had the ball? Then she saw Rosa out in front, dribbling (运球). But something was not right. Cami frowned.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
It was at that moment that Cami found Rosa was going the wrong way.
