26、Stressed About Coronavirus? Monitor Your Body Language
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and other health professionals, have maintained that the recent coronavirus can be spread by touching people or surfaces infected by the virus, and then touching your face-particularly your mouth, nose, and eyes, where the virus can gain access to your body. No doubt, fears of this potentially deadly virus is causing people around the world a great deal of stress. 【1】
You may have seen clips of health professionals warning about face-touching in press conferences, but then absent-mindedly touching their own faces-even licking a finger to turn a page on their written speeches! 【2】 Unfortunately, stress can increase the incidence of face-touching behavior.
A common body reaction to stress is self-touching. Some of that might consist of chin or cheek rubbing, which can bring infected fingers dangerously close to the mouth. Of course, there is also nail-biting, which provides the virus with direct access to the mouth.
Research on nonverbal signals of lying has focused on common body language signals connected with stress. 【3】 Stress from telling a lie has been associated with people touching their noses or faces. It has been suggested that temporary increases in tension or stress-such as when someone is telling a lie-may cause the nose to itch (发痒). This leads to response of scratching or rubbing the nose
Stress may also lead to dry eyes, mainly because the automatic reaction to fear-induced stress is to widen the eyes and blink less frequently, thus drying out our eyes. Our responses can include eye rubbing behavior-opening the way for the virus to enter our bodies.
Don’t get me started talking about greetings. 【4】 However, greeting behaviors such as touching hands (handshaking), cheek-kissing and hugging all open the door for viral transmission (病毒传播). Moving to more safe forms of greeting -waves, fist-bumps, or even bowing-should become the norm during these troubling times.
【5】 We need to become more aware of our nonverbal behavior and go into social situations more mindfully.
A．To sum up, what should we do?
B．Some of these same signals could lead to infection.
C．It is probably because they have been under too much stress.
D．In other words, nonverbal signals of stress might lead to infection.
E．That is why people may touch their noses or faces when telling a lie.
F．In social gatherings people almost automatically extend their hands or hug.
G．What’s worse many of our unconscious reactions to stress can lead to infection.
27、Dear Sir,
It is not often that a woman can thank personally the inventor of devices that make life livable for her. I feel that it is my duty to tell you how much we women of this small town owe a lot of thanks to you. I am an officer in the District Women’s Club and my husband is a doctor.
We have a large house so as I do practically all my own housework, my duties are many. Still, I enjoy my housework and do not feel that I entirely lose out on life’s pleasures. Right now, I hear my washing machine chugging (洗衣机运转声音). The house is lighted by electricity. I cook on an electric stove and wash dishes in an electric dishwasher. I clean the house with electric cleaners. When I rest, I take an electric massage(按摩). I forget I’m living in a tiny town. But I’m reminded when the automatic alarm in my stove rings and know my dinner is now cooking.
The doctor comes home. He finds a wife not tired and dissatisfied. Instead, he sees a woman waiting, who has worked faithfully. She is now rested and ready to serve the tired man and discuss things of the day. Possibly he brings home a guest without warning, but electricity saves the day for the hostess.
Please accept my appreciation, Mr. Edison, from the most truly grateful of women. I know you must have received the thanks of other women before but I believe men are like women after all and like to know that their work is appreciated. I do think the world is often not thankful enough for such work and the value of it.
Sincerely
Mrs. W. C. Lathrop

28、In a coffee shop, we usually hear someone saying, “Don’t worry; the cup is made of bioplastics!” These items are appearing everywhere, ensuring business owners and consumers feel good about the single-use items they are carrying around. The problem is that there’s a lot of misinformation about bioplastics—and unfortunately, bioplastics aren’t the perfect solution to the problem of plastic people think they are.
“Anytime you add the term ‘bio’ or ‘plant-based’ to a product name or description, people automatically think that makes them good for the planet,” environment expert and consultant Shannon Kenny said. “But unless you have proper equipment to process and recycle these bioplastics, they can be just as harmful to the planet as traditional plastics.” In order for bioplastic items to break down, they need the perfect storm of gases, heat and airflow that is only provided by specific equipment. And since most of us probably don’t have the commercial equipment, we may not know what to do with the products.
Since they look like plastic, people often think they can be recycled, which isn’t true. According to Kenny, “Consumers often dispose of bioplastics in recycling bins, but it messes the whole process up. When bioplastics enter the plastic recycling stream, they’re difficult to identify and separate from the other plastics, which damages the entire recycling process and creates a low-grade recycled plastic.”
So if plastic isn’t great, but bioplastics aren’t either, what should we use? The most sustainable solution in both the short term and the long run, though, is to avoid single-use items. The best choice is to bring your own cup to the coffee shop and your own cutlery to the office to eat your salad or out to dinner at your favorite fast-casual restaurant. And educate others—friends, family, and even your local coffee shop or restaurant owners—that these bioplastics aren’t as “green” as they may appear.
【1】What does Shannon Kenny think of bioplastics?
A．They are environment-friendly.
B．They cost customers less to use.
C．They increase the cost of production.
D．They are no better than common plastics.
【2】What is the challenge about bioplastics?
A．They can’t be broken down completely.
B．Consumers prefer to use traditional plastics.
C．They can’t be processed or recycled properly.
D．Consumers can’t tell them from other plastics.
【3】What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A．Add some background information.
B．Provide some advice for the readers.
C．Summarize the previous paragraphs.
D．Introduce a new topic for discussion.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Why are bioplastics harmful?
B．Can bioplastics be widely used?
C．Are bioplastics better for the planet?
D．How are bioplastics made pollution-free?
29、The Land Under the Sea
Ten thousand years ago, as the last ice age ended, sea levels around the world were far lower than they are today. Much of the land under both the North Sea to the east of Britain and the English Channel which now separates France and Britain was part of a huge region of forests and grassy plains. Then the climate gradually became warmer and the water trapped in large masses of ice was released.
Now the development of advanced sonar (声纳) technology, known as bathymetry, is making it possible to study this flooded landscape in extraordinary detail. A special echo (回声) sounder is fixed to the bottom of a survey ship and it makes wide sweeps across the seabed. While previous technology has only been able to produce two-dimensional images, bathymetry can now use computers, satellite-positioning equipment and special software to create accurate and remarkably detailed maps. For the first time, an ancient riverbed jumps out of the three-dimensional image. The site of pre-historic settlements can now be pinpointed.
According to expert Linda Andrews, this technological development is of huge significance. “We now have the ability to map the seabed as accurately as we can map dry land,” she says.
Once bathymetric techniques have identified sites where people might have built their homes and villages, divers can be sent down to investigate further. Robot submarines (潜艇) can also be used, and researchers hope they will find stone tools and wood from houses as proof of human activity. The idea shared by many people in Britain of their country as a natural island kingdom will be challenged by the findings: Britain has been inhabited for about 500,000 years and much of this time it has been linked on and off to continental Europe. It remains to be seen how far this new awareness is taken on board, however.
In fact, the use of bathymetry will not be limited to the study of lost landscapes and ancient settlements. It will also be vital in finding ships that have been destroyed in accidents. In addition, commercial applications are a real possibility. Aggregates (骨材) for the construction industry are becoming increasingly expensive, and bathymetry can be used to identify suitable sites for digging for this material. Mapping the seabed will also identify places where rare plants and shellfish are living. Digging at such sites should be prevented, either to work for a profit or to make deeper waterways for massive container ships.
【1】How does bathymetry work?
A．It has an echo sounder placed on the seabed.
B．It makes use of a number of different devices.
C．It produces two-dimensional images of the sea floor.
D．It bases its calculations on the location of construction sites.
【2】What does the underlined word “pinpointed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Occupied.
B．Adjusted.
C．Rebuilt.
D．Discovered.
【3】The author believes a better understanding of the settlements on the seabed may ________.
A．attract investment in the research under the sea
B．inspire people to take an interest in modern technology
C．adapt the attitudes of the British to their country’s history
D．receive confirmation of rebuilding ancient man-made objects
【4】We can learn that the use of bathymetry will help to ________.
A．identify new species of plants and animals
B．provide the precise location of sunken ships
C．evaluate the cost of seeking certain resources
D．promote the development of deeper waterways

33、Aquaculture—or sea farming, as it is sometimes called—is one of the brightest hopes for finding an answer to the problem of a world food shortage. Although it may be years before sea farming produces large quantities of food, it is already partially successful. One of its successes is the growing of oyster (牡蛎).
Oyster farming is a big new business on Cape Cod, where large crops of oysters have been harvested. The waters there were famous for delicious oysters until the supply gave out about fifteen years ago. “There’s a whole generation of people who have never eaten oysters,” said Karl Touraine, marketing director of Aqua Dynamics Corporation, a company that grows oysters on nylon strings (尼龙绳) hanging from metal frames (金属架). “For about twenty years the oyster has been in short supply, and our aim is to change this by using new, modern growing techniques,” he explained.
“Wareham, on Cape Cod, is the first place in the US where oysters are being grown on frames just off the bottom of the sea,” said Hank McAvoy of the National Marine Fisheries Service in Gloucester. “But there’s nothing new about off-bottom raising,” Mr. McAvoy adds. “It’s been done successfully in Norway and Australia and, in the last few years, in Spain. The Japanese have used this form of sea farming for years, and they’re the most successful, with a yearly crop of more than 46,000 pounds of shelled oysters an acre.”
The Aqua Dynamics group grows oysters on strings, away from the bottom so that the oysters’ natural enemies cannot reach them. “When an oyster avoid enemies and live in unpolluted water with plenty to eat, he’ll grow fast.” Karl Touraine explains. “Oysters will attach themselves to almost anything they can,” he continues. “At Wareham, we use shells which we tie with nylon strings hanging from metal frames. We lower the strings into the water, leaving at least a foot of water between the lowest shell and the bottom.”
“So far the growth has been excellent and the taste is just delightful,” Mr. Touraine notes happily.
【1】What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A．To show the importance of farming.
B．To introduce the topic of oyster farming.
C．To give a brief introduction to aquaculture.
D．To encourage people to save food.
【2】We can learn from the text that off-bottom raising ________.
A．is a brand new way in Norway.
B．has failed to spread in Spain.
C．is popular in many places
D．results in low production in Japan.
【3】What is the advantage of off-bottom oyster farming?
A．It can improve oysters’ taste.
B．It offers oysters an enemy-free environment.
C．It greatly reduces water consumption.
D．It helps control environmental pollution.
【4】What is Karl Touraine’s attitude towards off-bottom raising?
A．Approving.
B．Worried.
C．Unconcerned.
D．Unclear.

Rapidly advancing technology and its impact on education has been a subject of debate. How can schools equip students with the skills they need to succeed in a challenging job market?
Since technology is driving these changes, there is a theory that governments should keep focusing on STEM subjects. These are often referred to as “hard skills,” which are 【1】 in primary school and right through to university level. In the meantime, ‘soft skills’ are being 【2】.
This is a mistake. Much evidence suggests that soft skills are far more 【3】 to graduates in the long term. Research from Harvard University on the global job market has shown that STEM- related careers grew strongly between 1989 and 2000 but have slowed down since. In contrast, jobs in the creative industries----the sector probably most 【4】 with the need for soft skills---are growing rapidly. Soft skills are, in fact, increasingly in demand in the workplace: Google cites creativity, leadership 【5】 and communication skills as top requirements for both potential and current employees.
So why are soft skills so highly 【6】 for?
With the rapid evolution of technology, a focus on hard skills leaves students 【7】 to change, as these often have a short shelf life. According to research by World Economic Forum, more than one in four adults reports a mismatch between their skills and those needed for their job role. If soft skills are taught well, these skills should enable students to adapt to change more easily and progress further in their 【8】 career.
Of course, technical skills are important. But without the curriculum placing equal--- if not greater --- 【9】 on soft skills, our education systems are missing a huge trick. Hard skills may help a student get a job in a particular industry, but soft skills will help them disrupt it, achieving a wider 【10】 in their chosen field.
36、Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
The Internet E-commerce and globalization are making a new economic age possible. In the future, capitalist markets will largely be replaced by a new kind of economic system based on 【1】 relationships, contractual arrangements and access rights.
Has the quality of our lives at work, at home and in our communities increased in direct proportion to all the new Internet and business-to-business Internet services being introduced into our lives? I have asked this question of hundreds of CEOs and corporate executives in Europe and the United States. Surprisingly, virtually everyone has said, “No, quiet 【2】.” They say they are working longer hours, feel more stressed, are more impatient, and are even less civil in their dealings with colleagues and friends-not to mention strangers. And what’s more revealing, they place much of the blame on the very same technologies they are so 【3】 supporting.
The technological leader promised us that access would make life more convenient. Instead, the very technological wonders that were supposed to 【4】 us have begun to enslave us in a web of connections from which there seems to be no easy 【5】.
If an earlier generation was preoccupied with the quest to enclose a vast 【6】 land, the .com generation, it seems, is more caught up in the colonization of time. Every spare moment of our time is being filled with some form of commercial connection, making time itself the 【7】 of all resources.
And while we have created every kind of labor-and time-saving device to service our needs, we are beginning to feel like we have less time available to us than any other humans in history. Maybe we need to ask what kinds of connections really 【8】 in the e-economy age. If this new technology 【9】 is only about super efficiency, then we risk losing something even precious than time-our sense of what it means to be a(n) 【10】 human being.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
In Congress, July 4, 1776
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d【1】 the causes which impel them to the separation.
We h【2】 these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created e【3】, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable R【4】, that among these are life, L【5】, and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, g 【6】 are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the P 【7】 to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, l【8】 its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such f【9】, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their d 【10】, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

39、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Cell phones are used everywhere, but on the road they are a dangerous distraction (分心) to drivers and should be forbidden.
The New England Journal of Medicine reported that "drivers using a cell phone were four times more likely to have an accident than those not using a phone." The major problem is that the driver is not focused on the road, but on his or her conversation. Cell phone drivers are very unpredictable: they drive too fast or too slow, make improper turns, run red lights and even stop at green ones. It's not only annoying; it's dangerous. Accidents related to cell phones include off a road and crashing into a tree, fences, and buildings and even turning over.
In October at the California Traffic Safety Summit, experts showed that "cell phones used by drivers lead to at least 1,000 deaths per year in California." These are the same problems that occur with drunk driving, which is against the law and strictly enforced. For the same reasons, California needs laws that ban the use of cell phone in cars.
Until we take action to pass new laws, drivers at least need to be more responsible when using cell phones. The American Automobile Association recommends that drivers pull off the road before using a cell phone, have a passenger use it for them, or use voice mail to answer calls. Another suggestion is to keep the phone off while moving or simply not to use it in the car. Before using a cell phone, drivers should ask themselves, "Is this call really that important?"
Cell phones can be a very important link in emergencies, but drivers need to use them wisely. As professional NASCAR racer John Andretti says, "Driving safely is your first responsibility." The best road to safety is to just hang up and drive.
