26、Keeping fish as pets is a popular hobby. Fish take up little room, are inexpensive to feed, and provide an interesting and colorful display in any room.
A tank, or an aquarium, must be chosen carefully. Many new aquarium owners buy too many fish for their tanks. Fish cannot be crowded. Two fish can live comfortably in each gallon of water, only ten fish can live in a five-gallon tank. Can you see why a goldfish would not live long in a tiny round bowl?
If too many fish are kept together, they will not have enough oxygen or room to swim about freely. They will have more diseases. Also, some kinds of fish cannot be kept together. They will fight and may even kill one another. As your interest in fish grows, the number of fish you have may grow, too. Then you may want to invest in another tank.
If you start with a ten-gallon aquarium, what kind of fish would be best? The two major groups of tropical fish are those that lay eggs and those that give birth to live young. If you want to raise young fish, guppies would be the best choice because they can produce many babies in a short time.
You can buy fish and aquariums in most pet stores. Ask the owner to help you choose the right fish. You can also find many books about tropical fish in the library.
【1】Keeping fish is a good hobby for the following reasons EXCEPT _____.
A．fish are not costly to feed
B．fish are nice to look at
C．fish reproduce babies quickly
D．fish need little space
【2】The underlined part “invest in” (in Paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to _____.
A．buy
B．borrow
C．make
D．sell
【3】If nine fish live in three gallons of water, the fish may _____.
A．breathe easily
B．swim about freely
C．get ill
D．not get enough to eat
【4】What can we know from the passage?
A．Very few people are interested in keeping fish.
B．The size of your tank decides how many fish you can buy.
C．Guppies are a kind of fish that are good at laying eggs.
D．You can raise different kinds of fish together.
27、 When Peter Fortune was ten years old, grown-up people used to tell him he was a “difficult” child. He never understood what they meant. He didn’t feel difficult at all. He didn’t throw milk bottles at the garden wall, or tip tomato ketchup over his head and pretend it was blood, or slash at his granny’s ankle with his sword, though he occasionally thought of these things. Apart from all vegetables except potatoes, and fish, eggs and cheese, there was nothing he would not eat. He wasn’t noisier or dirtier or more stupid than anyone he knew.
His name was easy to say and spell. His face, which was pale and freckled, was easy enough to remember. He went to school every day like all other children and never made that much fuss about it. He was only as offensive to his sister as she was to him. Policemen never came knocking at the front door wanting to arrest him. Doctors in white coats never offered to take him away to the madhouse. As far as Peter was concerned, he was really quite easy. What was difficult about him?
It was not until he had been a grown-up himself for many years that Peter finally understood. They thought he was difficult because he was so silent. That seemed to bother people. The other problem was he liked being by himself. ___①___ Not all the time, of course. Not even every day. But most days he liked to go off somewhere for an hour to his bedroom, or the park. He liked to be alone and think his thoughts.
Now, grown-ups like to think they know what’s going on inside a ten-year-old’s head. And it’s impossible to know what someone is thinking if they keep quiet about it. People would see Peter lying on his back on a summer’s afternoon, chewing a piece of grass and staring at the sky. “Peter, Peter! What are you thinking about?” they would call to him. And Peter would sit up with a start. “Oh, nothing. Nothing at all.” Grown-ups knew that something was going on inside that head, but they couldn’t hear it or see it or feel it. They couldn’t tell Peter to stop it, because they did not know what it was he was doing in there. ___②___ He could have been setting his school on fire or feeding his sister to an alligator and escaping in a hot air balloon, but all they saw was a boy staring at the blue sky without blinking, a boy who did not hear you when you called his name.
As for being on his own, grown-ups didn’t much like that either. They don’t even like other grown-ups being on their own. When you join in, people can see what you’re up to. You’re up to what they’re up to. ___③___ Peter had different ideas. In fact, he thought, if people spent less time joining in and making others join in, and spent a little time each day alone remembering who they were or who they might be, then the world would be a happier place and wars might never happen...
The trouble with being a daydreamer who doesn’t say much is that the teachers at school, especially the ones who don’t know you very well, are likely to think you are rather stupid. ___④___ Or, if not stupid, then dull. No one can see the amazing things that are going on in your head. A teacher who saw Peter staring out the window or at a blank sheet of paper on his desk might think that he was bored, or stuck for an answer. But the truth was quite different.
【1】Which of the following would Peter be most likely to do?
A．To sleep in the tent with his friends.
B．To break the neighbor’s fence for fun.
C．To tie a dirty dustbin to a dog’s tail.
D．To walk around a lake for quite a while.
【2】Where can the sentence “You have to join in, or you’ll spoil it for everyone else.” most probably be put?
A．①
B．②
C．③
D．④
【3】What is the main reason that Peter was considered “difficult” by grown-ups?
A．He was far from communicative.
B．He turned a deaf ear to others.
C．He did not do well in his studies.
D．He preferred to live on his own.
【4】What might the author continue to write about in the following part?
A．Further prejudice against Peter among grown-ups.
B．How the unique ideas Peter had amazed others.
C．Difficulties keeping Peter from learning well.
D．Effective measures to help Peter out.
28、It has long been hailed(宣称) as the most crucial meal of the day, vital for getting the body going and preventing overeating later on. But breakfast may not be so vital after all, if new research is to be believed. Contrary to popular belief, the study found the first meal of the day had little impact on snacking or portion sizes later in the day. It also had no effect on metabolism(新陈代谢).
The researchers, from the University of Bath, now suggest the better health of people who eat a good breakfast may be due to their general, wider, diet regime(养生法). They found there was no change in metabolism after six weeks between those who ate nothing for breakfast and those who consumed 700 calories before 11am.The major difference was that those who abstained from breakfast ate fewer calories over the whole day.
This goes against the long-held theory that people who skip breakfast simply make up for it by gorging on food later on. However, breakfast eaters were likely to expend more energy - around 442calories - by being active, mainly in the morning after eating. They also had more stable blood sugar readings, especially by the end of the trial.
The research added: “The belief that breakfast is ‘the most important meal of the day is so widespread that many people are surprised to learn that there is a lack of scientific evidence showing whether or how breakfast may directly cause changes in our health. It is certainly true that people who regularly eat breakfast tend to be slimmer and healthier but these individuals also typically follow most other recommendation for a healthy lifestyle, so have more balanced diets and take more physical exercise. ”
In another study published this month, researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham divided volunteers into three groups. One skipped breakfast, others always ate it and a third continued with their current regime. Four months later, no one in any group had lost much weight.
【1】According to he new research, the people who eat breakfast tend to __________.
A. prevent overacting later on B. expend more energy
C. have more balanced diets D. lose more weight
【2】If you want to be healthier and simmer, you should _______.
A. not eat breakfast B. snack as frequently as possible
C. eat general, wide breakfast D. have a healthy lifestyle
【3】The underlined phrase “abstained from” in Paragraph 2 means ___________.
A. didn’t have B. had C. had more D. had less
【4】The best title of the passage is __________.
A. whether to have breakfast or not
B. no expected good to have breakfast
C. difference between having and not having breakfast
D. healthy diet
29、“The Friendship Files” is my series of interviews about friendships. When this project began, I wrote, “People are at their most generous, their funniest, and their most fascinating when talking with and about their friends.” The interviews only strengthened that belief. 【1】
Build-up
【2】 Sometimes that increases slowly, as it did for two neighbors who have lived across the hall for 20 years. They’ve checked in on each other when they were sick, and split the bill of a magazine. Those moments finally added up to a friendship during the pandemic (流行病), when they opened doors to talk across the hallway and felt less alone.
Attention
Making friends can be hard, but there are more opportunities than we think. A new friend could be waiting in the comments section of an article you’re reading, or on the other side of a Google Doc. 【3】 As much as we may feel like our social networks are settled, it’s never too late to meet someone who will be important to you for the rest of your life.
Intention
Attention only gets you so far without action. When opportunity arises, put yourself out there. That requires courage to let things be awkward, which is the hardest part of friendship. 【4】 But this does not mean making friends is labor. It takes effort, but it should be a joy.
Tradition
One thing that seems to make keeping up with friends easier is tradition, like organizing a book club, a monthly hike, or a regular Dungeons & Dragons campaign. 【5】 The Dungeons & Dragons group has a shorthand (速记法) dating back 30 years ago.
A．The simplest and most obvious one is time spent together.
B．These unexpected relationships need our special attention.
C．We need to be brave to build friendship in places we never expect it.
D．Besides keeping groups close, they can give its members a shared culture.
E．It takes energy and thought, and you could feel stressed mentally and physically.
F．Healthy friendships help improve our well-being in a lot of ways, which are listed as follows.
G．Though every bond is different, there are several key forces that help form and maintain friendships.
30、Instead of cruising in on a hover board, I rode my bike to the office today. The bicycle was invented in the 19th century. Instead of taking a pill for breakfast, I had a bacon roll, cooked using gas. Science fiction has _______ to us.
Making predictions is tricky, especially about the future, as physicist Niels Bohr joked. In science fiction, you can’t escape that _______ though. Since its birth in the 19th century, writers have _______ imagined the things to come: devices that humankind will invent to make life easier. But in so many instances, those promises have not come to pass. The biggest _______ are in travel-jet packs, hover boards and flying cars are not to fill the skies. Air travel has become significantly cheaper and wide-reaching, but only using distinctly 20th-century technology: commercial aeroplanes are much the same as they were 50 years ago.
_______ is what science fiction frequently delivers, but its arrival in the real world has been unpredictable. Domestic robots with a degree of intelligence haven’t been _______, though robotic vacuum cleaners are commercially available-even if they are fairly hopeless. Video calls have now arrived-sort of-but conferencing on Skype is still dissatisfying. In mobiles, video call technology is now available, so when your dad rings to update you on his vegetable patch, he’ll be able to _______ your look of boredom.
The truth is that we quickly _______ the astonishment of invention: our wonderment is soon replaced with the feeling of nothing new. We should try to stay in that period of _______. It is astonishing that the contents of every book over written can be stored in a small box. Or that you can carry 10,000 albums on an object kept in your pocket. Or that almost all the information in the world can be accessed almost anywhere at any time. All these ________ are dependent on the emergence of the microchip and its place in computers. Yet sci-fi didn’t ________ the dominance of the computer in running our lives.
But the real area where ________ far outstrips (超过) predictions is medicine. Sure, fiction would describe humans as ‘disease-free’ but without going into detail. “Disease-free” humans are still absent, but the progress made in ________ life is breathtaking. With relative ease, we can sequence anyone’s genome, giving a read-out of our entire genetic code. This means we can find out the underlying genetic cause of thousands of diseases in minutes.
Photosensitive implants now exist that can replace damaged cells in the retina and can thus ________ sight to the blind. While the inventions of science fiction can show great ideas we’d like to happen, nothing ________ the inventiveness of people in the real world.
