27、   Most maps show places you can visit and how to get there．Most maps, however, were not made by astronomers．At a recent meeting in Texas, three teams of these scientists presented new maps to show where dark matter was．

Dark matter neither produces nor reflects light, which means it's invisible (看不见) to human eyes and to most scientific instruments．That makes it a challenge to measure and study．What makes the matter more upset: Scientific measurements show that the universe holds about five times．as much dark matter as ordinary matter．Making up the known part of the universe, ordinary matter includes you, your dog, Earth, the sun, stars and planets．

Scientists find dark matter in the same way, they discover other things we can't see-by observing how the invisible matter affects things we can see．We can't see wind, for example, but we can feel a gentle wind or watch a windmill(风车) turning on a hill．Dark matter doesn't turn windmills, but it does have gravity．Like ordinary matter, dark matter holds everything around it firmly with gravity．Dark matter's gravity holds galaxies (星系) together and bends rays of light as they move past．

To make the new maps, astronomers trained powerful telescopes to watch for bending light arriving from distant galaxies．These telescopes recorded light that came from galaxies billions of light-years away．By studying how the light changed as it traveled through space, the astronomers could work out the location and shape of dark matter groups．

One of the new maps shows dark matter is more than 600 times as large as a full moon．The other covers an area more than a thousand times as large．But that's just the beginning: The astronomers want to carry on further studies to better understand the dark matter．

【1】We can learn from the passage that_____________．

A．most maps show the location of dark matter．

B．human eyes can’t see dark matter directly

C．galaxies are usually made of dark matter

D．dark matter is as much as ordinary matter

【2】What does the underlined word “gravity” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Pull．

B．Shape．

C．Light．

D．Wind．

【3】In paragraph 3 the writer explains the way to locate dark matter by_____________．

A．providing numbers

B．listing facts

C．making a comparison

D．offering a quote

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Ordinary matter makes up the known part of the space．

B．Scientists have found ways to draw maps of dark matter．

C．Dark matter is studied with the help of powerful telescopes．

D．Scientists put forward the theory of dark matter for the first time．

28、A few weeks ago I paid a visit to the UK. The moment I reached Heathrow airport, I was attracted by all the language differences between American and British English. Instead of reading “exit”, the signs read “way out”. The announcer said “alight” instead of “get off” the plane.

My first stop in the UK was the British museum and I was particularly interested in Room 41. In that room, I saw the oldest sentence ever found written in Old English. Archeologists (考古学家) believe it is from between 450 and 480 AD.

The next stop was Westminster Abbey. At the Poets’ Corner I saw graves of famous writers, such as Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and Samuel Johnson. The list can go on and on. Another thing on the Abbey grounds that you should not miss is a colorful glass window in St. Margaret’s Church, as you walk up to the Abbey. The window, about halfway up the left side of the church, honors William Caxton. He was the first person to bring the printing press to England and set up his printing business near the Abbey, probably because he was likely to get work from the government offices in the area. Caxton may not be as well-known as the writers in Poets’ Corner, but he played a very important part in standardizing English.

My final stop was the Tower of London, which was the symbol of power of the people who changed English. This castle was built by William the Conqueror after he defeated King Harold II in the Battle of Hastings during the Norman Invasion in 1066. After the Normans took over England, the official language became French for hundreds of years, and this was the time when many French words entered the English language especially words related to upper-class life such as words about government and cooking.

So that was my trip.

【1】Where did the author see the oldest written form of English?

A．At the Heathrow airport.

B．In the British museum.

C．At the Westminster Abbey.

D．In the St. Margaret’s Church.

【2】What did the author say about William Caxton?

A．He was one of the greatest British poets.

B．He was buried in St. Margaret’s Church.

C．He once worked in the government office.

D．He helped to standardize the British English.

【3】What can be learned from paragraph 4?

A．English borrowed many words from French.

B．The Norman Invasion was led by King Harold II .

C．French has become the official language since 1066.

D．The Tower of London was built before the Norman Invasion.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．A Language Lover’s Trip to the UK

B．The Famous Attractions in London

C．A Brief Introduction to British History

D．The Differences Between the US and Britain

29、   World Book Day falls on April 23 every year. It was set up in 1955 to encourage people to discover the pleasure of reading.

Many countries celebrate World Book Day. In the UK, the government has introduced a rule that a book token(购书券)is a passport. Every year 15 million tokens are given out to students in Britain and Ireland. With a token, students can go to any bookshop to choose a free book according to their taste and hobby. It is believed that 15% of the UK children don’t have a book of theirs. This mainly results from the high book prices. A book token will help them realize their dream to have their first book.

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Hundreds of years ago, Charles Darwin predicted that facial expressions of emotion are 【1】. If you’ve ever seen an episode of the popular US TV drama Lie To Me, you will really understand facial expressions. The leading actor of the show, Dr. Cal Lightman has spent 20 years studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions, which allows him to point out other people’s studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions which allows him to point out other people’s 【2】 and on many occasions, to be skilled at tricking in order to get the truth.

Is there really much truth behind this science of 【3】 human emotions through expressions? Paul Ekman, a(n) 【4】 psychologist whose work focuses on mapping facial expressions, is Lie To Me’s scientific advisor and the following are some of his explanations.

Hand-to-face gesture indicates a lie.

Each micro-expression is unique to 【5】 specific emotions because the person is often unaware of doing it. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are lying when someone uses a hand to hide part of his face. The person could be holding back information but you may better consider looking at other more important clues rather than just the simple hand-to-face gesture.

A liar refuses eye contact.

People look away when they are thinking carefully and considering each word before it is spoken, not just when they are 【6】 an excuse. Oblique eyebrows are a very reliable 【7】of sadness and few people can make this 【8】 expression, so it is actually never faked.

Guilty knowledge technique is 【9】.

Lightman often uses the guilty knowledge technique, mentioning something that only the guilty person will know about and show a(n)【10】. This is often used in polygraph exams: “Was the person strangled, shot or stabbed to death?” Only the killer knows and is likely to respond physiologically when the actual weapon is mentioned.
