26、The giant panda’s special black-and-white fur makes it one of the most recognizable animals on the planet. But why does it have this unique coloring? To hide from natural enemies, both in the snow and in the shadows, study lead author Tim Caro, a professor in the Department of Wildlife, Fish & Conservation Biology at the University of California, Davis, said in a new statement. Moreover, the large black circles around a panda’s eyes may help other pandas recognize it, the researchers said.
Understanding why the giant panda has such noticeable color has been a long-term problem to solve. To find out the answer, Caro and his colleagues looked at photos of pandas and 195 other carnivore(食肉动物) species, including 39 subspecies of bear. Then, they recorded the coloring on each area of those animals’ bodies, and compared them with areas of the panda’s body. “Compared with the previous studies, the breakthrough in this study was treating each part of the body as an independent area,” Caro said.
The research team tried to figure out the purpose of the dark-colored furry areas. After going through many comparisons, the researchers determined that the white parts of the giant panda help it hide in the snow. In contrast, its black arms and legs help it hide in the shadows, they said. The panda’s white-and-black coloring didn’t appear to be related to temperature regulation. Nor did they find evidence that the dark circles around a panda’s eyes helped to make them look cuter.
“This really was a great effort by our team, finding and scoring thousands of images and scoring more than 10 areas per picture from over 20 possible colors,” study co-author Ted Stankowich, an assistant professor of biology at California State University, Long Beach, said in the statement. “Sometimes it takes hundreds of hours of hard work to answer the simplest question: Why is the panda black and white?”
【1】What does the new study focus on?
A．How pandas hide from natural enemies successfully.
B．Why pandas have unique black-and-white coloring.
C．Whether the black circles around a panda’s eyes are useful. ”
D．What makes pandas so cute and eye-catching.
【2】What makes the new study different from the previous studies?
A．Researching more carnivore species.
B．Using the method of comparison.
C．Treating each part of the body separately.
D．Recording the number of photos.
【3】What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A．The giant panda gets used to living in the snow.
B．The white-and-black fur can help pandas hide.
C．The coloring of pandas is related to temperature.
D．The function of the dark-colored areas is unknown.
【4】What is implied from Ted Stankowich’s words?
A．Keeping your curiosity can make a difference.
B．Hundreds of hours of hard work is annoying.
C．Scientists dislike doing research on simple issues.

27、 On March 25, 2010, Kate and David heard the words every parent fears: Their newborn wasn’t going to make it. Their twins — a girl and a boy — were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks ahead of time, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he’d stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live.
“I saw him gasp, but the doctor said it was no use,” Kate told the Daily Mail five years later. “I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still gasping, that was a sign of life. I wasn’t going to give up easily.”
Still, the Sydney Couple knew this was likely goodbye. In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him.
Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket and ordered David to take his shirt off and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would improve his condition. They also talked to him.
“We were trying to entice him to stay,” Kate told the Daily Mail. “We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have him.” Then something miracle happened. Jamie gasped again — and then he started breathing. Finally, he reached for his father’s finger.
The couple’s lost boy had made it.
“We’re the luckiest people in the world,” David told Today.
Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The couple only recently told the kids the story of their birth. “Emily burst into tears,” Kate said. “She was really upset, and she kept hugging Jamie. This whole experience makes you cherish them more.”
【1】What can we learn about the newborn babies?
A.The girl’s heartbeat was nearly gone.
B.They were born 2 minutes before it was expected.
C.The boy showed no sign of surviving in the doctor’s words.

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Jamie felt cold so Kate tried to keep him warm with a blanket.
B.Kate required to hold Jamie in the belief that she could save him.
C.The couple kept the story a secret until the twins knew it accidently.
D.The couple tried to save Jamie by contacting him physically and talking to him.
【3】What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Kate and David. B.Kate and Emily. C.Kate and Jamie. D.Jamie and Emily.
【4】What can we learn from the story?
A.Love can work wonders. B.All life is a game of luck.
C.Science fails now and then. D.Time and tide wait for no man.
28、Too much TV - watching can harm children's ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.
One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.
A second study ,looking at nearly 1000 grown - ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26 - year - olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don't ride out (排除) that already poorly motivated youngsters may watch lots of TV.
Their study measured the TV habits of 26 - year - olds between ages 5 and 15. These with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per week night during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.
In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.
While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating (积累) findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms.
【1】According to the California study, the low - scoring group might ________ .
A．have watched a lot of TV
B．not be interested in math
C．be unable to go to college
D．have had computers in their bedrooms
【2】What is the researchers' understanding of the New Zealand study results?
A．Poorly motivated 26 - year - olds watch more TV
B．Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest
C．TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15 - year olds
D．The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain
【3】What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A．More time should be spent on computers
B．Children should be forbidden from watching TV
C．TV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms
D．Further studies on high - achieving students should be done
【4】The passage is probably written for _______ .
A．teachers
B．parents
C．TV sellers
D．education experts
29、When it comes to technology, adults won’t be able to keep up with their children. It took radio 38 years to reach 50 million people, but it took only 20 years for the phone to reach the same number, and 13 years for the television. However, it took Facebook 3.6 years and Twitter only needed 88 days. Over the last 15 years, digital communication has brought in more changes than the printing press did in 1570. And those most likely to use them in this world are teenagers, whose brains appear to have a great ability to adapt to the world around them, according to Dr. Jay Giedd, a brain expert.
We are now discovering that our brains during the teenage years are still flexible (灵活的). Having a more flexible brain means that certain functions of it , such as the ability to make long-term decisions, haven’t developed yet, which may also explain why we spend a long period living under the protection of our parents rather than leaving home at the age of 12 or 13. This also means that the teenage brain can adapt to new technology, allowing teenagers to keep up with the increasing pace (速度) of digital technology, giving them an advantage when doing different tasks.
As they look at these screens, they’re dealing with information. There are concerns about how social media is affecting the way in which the brain learns to socialize. Giedd says that a lot of what goes on inside our brains is social. Social interactions are being changed by technology - you could have hundreds of friends, all of whom are real people that you interact with and scientists aren’t sure whether we’ll be able to develop the same skills using social media.
There is an advantage to the growing digital trend (趋势)：YouTube shows that teenagers all over the world are watching the same things and laughing at the same jokes, showing that they are more global-minded than teenagers in the past. They are more open to other cultures, other countries, and other people.
【1】How many years did it take for television to reach 50 million people?
A．38 years.
B．20 years.
C．15 years.
D．13 years.
【2】What does the underlined word “ This ” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Teenagers’ brains are flexible.
B．Teenagers are protected by their parents.
C．Teenagers are good at doing different tasks.
D．Teenagers’ abilities to make decisions haven’t developed.
【3】What does the trend of using YouTube show?
A．Teenagers prefer to socialize online.
B．Teenagers spend much time on social media.
C．Teenagers are now more open-minded than those in the past.
D．Teenagers are more likely to be attracted by the Internet than grown-ups.
【4】What may be the best title for the text?
A．Concerns about social media influence
B．Teenage brains in the digital world
C．Teenager-related technologies
D．Development of teenage brains

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。
Last fall, I came up with a good idea to tell my friend Melanie that she and I should enter a backcountry ski mountaineering race. The mountain is 40 miles from Crested Butte to Aspen, Colorado, and it required us to race as a team. Neither of us had ever done a ski race, but we’d always been good partners on mountain bikes, so I thought we’d be well-matched in the ski race, too.
However, on our first long training day together, Melanie dropped me again and again. As she disappeared out of sight on our last climb, I complained to myself, “Why had I come up with this stupid idea? Why wasn’t she waiting?” When I finally caught up, Melanie asked, “Are you OK?” I opened my mouth to respond and — oh, no — tears (眼泪) began running down my face. I felt sad and embarrassed. Crying was a behavior I connected with myself as a beginner who did most often in the years when I was learning to mountain bike. Seeing this, Melanie said with motherly concern, “I think you peed to have a rest and eat something.”
She was right. Rest and sugar improved my mood. Finally, we began going down the mountain together and we joked about my tears. In the days that followed, we kept training hard for the race day.
Despite the difficult start to our training, on race day, Melanie and I proved to be a good pair. The race began at midnight, and for six hours we schussed (直线滑降) together as a team through the darkness. But as the sun began to rise, we found ourselves pushing as hard as we could to make it to Star Pass, the high point of the race, by the important 7 am. Unluckily, we lost the race because we were 2 minutes late.
