26、 It is well-known that twins are closer to each other than most brothers and sisters -- after all, they probably spend more time with each other. Parents of twins often notice that they develop special ways of communicating: they invent their own words and one can often finish the other's sentence. In exceptional(例外) circumstances(情况), this closeness becomes more extreme: they invent a whole language of their own, as in the case of Grace and Virginia Kennedy from Georgia in the USA, who communicated so successfully in their own special language that they did not speak any English at all until after they started school.
However, these special relationships are the result of lives spent almost entirely in each other's company. What happens when twins do not grow up together, when they are separated at birth for some reason? Are they just like any other strangers, or are there still special similarities between them? Professor Tom Bouchard of the University of Minnesota set out to find the answer to this question. He traced(追踪) sixteen pairs of twins, who were adopted by different families when they were babies, and often brought up in very different circumstances. Each twin was then interviewed about every small detail of their life.
The results of this research make a surprising reading. Many of the twins were found to have the same hobbies, many have suffered the same illnesses, and some have even had the same type of accident at the same point in their lives. One pair of middle-aged women arrived for their first meeting in similar dresses, another pair were wearing similar jewellery. The most incredible (unbelievable) similarities are to be found in the case of Jim Springer and Jim Lewis from Ohio in the USA. The story of the 'Jim Twins' made headline news across USA. Born to an immigrant woman in 1939, and adopted by different families at birth, both babies were named Jim by their new parents.
But what can be the explanation for these remarkable similarities? Is it all pure coincidence, or is the explanation in some way genetic? Research into the lives of twins is forcing some experts to admit that our personalities may be at least partly due to 'nature'. On the other hand, analysts are also anxious to emphasis(强调) that incredible coincidences do happen all the time, not just in the lives of twins.
【1】The case of Grace and Virginia Kennedy (Para. 1) is to show that ______.
A.twins communicate with each other in an unusual way.
B.twins are more likely to suffer from speaking problems.
C.most twins have exceptional abilities to invent a new language.
D.twins won’t have an effective communication until they go to school.
【2】The purpose of Tom Bouchard’s study is to find ______.
A.what will happen if twins spend lives entirely in the same company.
B.why the 16 pairs of twins have been adopted by different families.
C.whether separated growing up has effect on twins’ special similarities.
D.when the special similarities come into being during their growing up.
【3】What does the word “reading” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A.Book. B.Explanation.
C.Literature. D.Measurement.
【4】According to Tom Bouchard’s research, the special similarities between twins ______.
A.depend on what the twins enjoy and suffer from.
B.can not be proved or accepted by all the experts.
C.result from the twins’ growing up and development.
D.are not closely linked with where the twins are raised.
27、 There is nothing more important than the safety of our children. Did you know that unintentional injury(意外伤害) is the leading cause of death in children under 14 years old with a third of them happening in the home? One of the top reasons a child under the age of three will visit an emergency room is because of household injuries and sadly, 70% of children who die from unintentional injuries are under the age of four. Every room in the home will have its own set of child safety problems. Two of the main danger zones are the kitchen and the bathroom.
Before I became a young mother, I crawled (爬)around the house on my hands and knees to see things from a child’s perspective(视角). You would be amazed at what you can discover by doing something so simple. We didn’t have toilet covers. A child is top heavy because their heads are bigger than their bodies and can easily fall into the toilet.
You might be surprised with the number of children falling out of windows every year, especially during the summer months. Something as simple as a child leaning against a window screen can result in a serious injury. The best way to prevent this type of injury is by setting up a child safety window guard.
As parents, we do the best we can by providing as much protection as possible to make sure of the safety of children. And as there are so many products out there to help us do this, there is nothing like good old-fashioned supervision(监护). So, use common sense and products that help to keep your child safe, and you will have provided a safe environment for your children.
【1】What’s the main reason for death in children under 14 according to paragraph one?
A.Age problems. B.No sense of safety.
C.Danger areas. D.Unexpected injuries.
【2】Why did the writer crawl around the house on the hands and knees?
A.To cover the toilet. B.To protect her child.
C.To look for something. D.To discover dangers from a child’s point.
【3】What should we do to protect children from falling out of windows?
A.Keep away from a window. B.Place a safety window guard.
C.Move away the window screen. D.Lean against the window firmly.
【4】What’s the last paragraph mainly about?
A.Tips on keeping children safe. B.Products for children.
C.Growth speed of children. D.Ways to look after children.
28、 Audio digital (有声数字化)books are becoming more andmore popular these years. One of the reasons for this is that audio digital books can be “read”in many places comfortably.
The first favorite place for many people is in bed，before going to sleep. There are nights when a person would want to do nothing but lie in bedgoing over what has happenedin the day. Many people like to just lie in bed in the dark before they fall asleep at night. This wouldbe the perfect time to listen to an audio digital book. If you read an ordinary book，the lights have to be turned on and you have to turn the pages with your hand. An audio book can just be listened to while a person stays comfortably in bed.
The next favorite place to listen to audio digital books would be in the kitchen. For some people kitchen work is boring. Audio digital books provide good entertainment，and people don’t need to turn pages.
An audio digital book is a favorite while a person is gardening. They can help take a person’s mind off job at hand. It can be fun and exciting to do gardening with the help of these books.
Another great place would be while exercising. It allows the mind to be free while the legs，body and arms are kept busy. This would be a great place to listen to these books.
The next favorite place would be while we are on the road to and from work on buses，trains or even on long flights. Audio digital books have become good companions and help us relaxed.
【1】What does the second paragraph mainly tells us？
A. A favorite place to listen to audio digital books is in bed.
B. It’s perfect time to listen to an audio digital book at noon.
C. You can listen to an audio digital book comfortably at home.
D. You have to keep the lights on while reading ordinary books.
【2】Why do some people like listening to audio digital books in the kitchen？
A. The kitchen is the best place to do this.
B. It can help them avoidboredom.
C. They can sing to the music.
D. It can save power.
【3】Why does a person “read”an audio digital book while exercising？
A. To lose weight easily. B. To keep his body busy.
C. To relax his mind. D. To reduce pain quickly.
【4】Where does the text probably come from？
A. An announcement. B. A book review.
C. A guidebook. D. A science magazine.
29、 The world’s elderly population is increasing. The number of older people ---those age 60 years or older ---is expected to double by 2050 and is growing faster than all younger age groups across the globe. That comes with an increasing need for caregivers which can provide 24-hour care, not only at hospitals or nursing homes, but also at private homes.
Already, caregiving robots are programmed to ask questions a nurse would ask and can keep an eye on patients for falls. These robotic assistants are expected to become increasingly marketable and reach 450,000 by 2045 because of the expected caregiver shortage in the USA.
“Unluckily, the hard structure of present caregiving robots prevents them from a safe human-robot interaction(互动), limiting their assistance to only social interaction and not physical interaction,” said Ramses Martinez, an assistant professor in Purdue’s College of Engineering . “After all, would you leave babies or old people in the hands of a robot?”
Recent advances in material science have enabled the production of soft robots with deformable (可变形的) bodies or the ability to reshape when touched , but today the complex design prevents the use of this technology at home .
However, Martinez and other researchers have developed a new design method which shows promise in enabling the production of soft robots using a 3D printer.
“The soft machines move like humans. Their ability to change their body structure and movement to adapt ( 适应 ) to a wide variety of environments will improve caregiving greatly,” says Martinez .
The researchers are looking for partners to test and bring their technology to market.
【1】What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.The younger age group
B.The group of older people
C.The population across the globe
D.The growth of the elderly population
【2】What is the disadvantage of the present caregiving robots?
A.They can’t provide safe physical interaction
B.They can’t communicate with patients
C.They can’t watch patients for falls
D.They can’t provide 24-hour care.
【3】What do we know about Martinez’s new design method?
A.It requires a special kind of 3D printer.
B.It makes the production of soft robots simpler.
C.It has been put onto the market.
D.It is hard for users to master.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.The robot industry in the future
B.Effects of population ageing
C.Robots for the elderly created with 3D printers
D.The development of caregiving robots
30、In life, we will succeed and fail often for reasons that are entirely out of our control. For instance, we can be _________ nice and love someone deeply, and they may not love us _________. We can work harder than anyone else in the office and still not be promoted to management. We can eat _________ food, exercise and stay away from alcohol and cigarettes, and still get sick.
The bottom line is that life is not _________.
That is a bitter pill to _________ for many of us. As a result, some people shut down after being hit by even one unfair blow from life. They can’t handle the fact that our efforts don’t always get the results that we _________. But if we let life’s unfairness _________ us, we will never receive the beautiful blessings that life has in store for us.
For example, my first marriage _________ divorce (离婚). To me, it felt very unfair. However hard I had tried to be a good wife, I could not make the relationship work. I could have been _________ by that experience and decided that if one person didn’t appreciate me as a wife, then no one would. I could have ______________. ____________, I knew I wanted to be married and experience traditional family life. Then I met my present husband and now have a happy family.
What I’ve learned over the years is that we can do all the things that deserve a good result, but get bad things in return ____________. When life doesn’t go ____________ plan, we have to ____________ the result that we have been looking forward to and keep trying, and doing the right thing. Accept that life is neither fair nor easy. ____________ we remain confident, we can drive our unfair experiences away and use them for our benefit.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Scientists have proved what students have long suspected: Maths equations can actually trigger physical pain.
Regions of the brain linked with the experience of physical 【1】 were activated in those fearful of maths when they were presented with a tough equation, researchers have found. The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 【2】 activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.
However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 【3】 event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 【4】 the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.
“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their paper titled. When Math Hurts. “【5】, this relation was not seen during math performance, 【6】 that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 【7】 math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 【8】 paths. We provide the first neural 【9】 indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.
Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 【10】 or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.”
