26、 In an ideal world, people would not test medicines on animals. Such experiments are stressful and sometimes painful for animals, and expensive and time-consuming for people. Yet animal experimentation is still needed to help bridge vast gaps in medical knowledge. That is why there are some 50 to 100 million animals used in research around the world each year.
Europe, on the whole, has the world’s most restrictive laws on animal experiments. Even so, its scientists use some 12 million animals a year, most of them mice and rats, for medical research. Official statistics show that just 1.1 million animals are used in research in America each year. But that is misleading. The American authorities do not think mice and rats are worth counting and, as these are the most common laboratory animals, the true figure is much higher. Japan and China have even less comprehensive data than America.
Now Europe is reforming the rules governing animal experiments by restricting the number of animals used in labs. Alternatives to animal testing, such as using human tissue or computer models,are now strongly recommended. In addition, sharing all research results freely should help to reduce the number of animals for scientific use. At present, scientists often share only the results of successful experiments. If their findings do not fit the hypothesis being tested, the work never sees the light of day. This practice means wasting time, money, and animals’ lives in endlessly repeating the failed experiments.
Animal experimentation has taught humanity a great deal and saved countless lives. It needs to continue, even if that means animals sometimes suffer. Europe’s new measures should eventually both reduce the number of animals used in experiments and improve the way in which scientific research is conducted.
【1】What is the main idea of this passage?
A.The success of animal experiments should be ensured.
B.A ban on the use of animals in the lab should be enforced.
C.Greater efforts need to be taken to reduce the number of lab animals.
D.Scientists should be required to share their research results with each other.
【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE about animals used in the lab?
A.America uses only about 1.1 million lab animals per year.
B.Europe does not use mice and rats as lab animals at all.
C.Britain does not use as many lab animals as China does.
D.Japan has limited data on the number of lab animals used each year.
【3】Which of the following is mentioned as an alternative to replace animal experiments?
A.Statistical studies.
B.Computer models.
C.DNA planted in animals.
D.Tissue from dead animals.
【4】What usually happens to unsuccessful animal experiments?
A.They are not revealed to the public.
B.They are made into teaching materials.
C.They are collected for future publication.
D.They are not removed from the research topic list.
27、 On a sunny spring day, a group of children, four to seven-year- old, sit on their bicycles.
They wear helmets to protect their heads and gloves to protect their hands. Their mothers, watch them closely for fear that the children will fall off their bikes. The children are ready to learn how to ride.
Rachel Varn still remembers how she felt riding a bicycle for the first time. Now her job is helping children experience that moment. Rachel Varn left her job of selling bicycles to become a trainer for bicycle riding last year. She founded Pedal Power Kids to teach bicycle education.
Before starting a ride, she teaches the children how to make sure the bicycles are in good condition for safe use. She calls it “the ABC quick check.” A is for air, she explains. “We have to check our tires before we ride.” B is for brakes. We want to make sure our brakes work before we find ourselves on the top of a hill about to go down. And C is for chain. She says the chain must be clean.
The rest of the training is more fun. The children learn riding skills, from balance and pedaling to turning, starting and stopping. And they learn to keep their eyes up and look ahead while riding. Varn says many children struggle to do this. They look down at the pedals (踏板) instead. She adds, “Obviously that doesn’t allow them to see what’s going on around them, and it also doesn’t allow them to turn properly.”
Varn says watching where you are going helps you turn easier.
Learning to ride a bicycle can open a whole new world to children. It gives them a sense of success and freedom. They become more sensitive to their surroundings and better able to make safe, smart decisions going from one place to another.
Varn’s goal is to get more children on two wheels. Since starting Pedal Power Kids last year, Varn has helped around 250 new riders.
【1】How do the mothers feel when the children are ready to learn riding?
A.Confident. B.Nervous.
C.Excited. D.Relaxed.
【2】What is “the ABC quick check” aimed to do?
A.To check if bikes are in safe condition for use.
B.To check if the tires are safe for them to use.
C.To make sure the brakes work.
D.To check whether the chain is clean.
【3】What will make it easier to turn the corner when riding a bike?
A.Stopping to look around. B.Looking down at the pedals.
C.Looking where they are going. D.Keeping their eyes up and looking up.
【4】What benefit can riding a bicycle bring according to the passage?
A.It opens a new world to the mothers.
B.It gives children a sense of achievement.
C.It helps children stay away from video games.
D.It makes children familiar with the surrounding.
28、 At a bright new building in Landover, Maryland, students are getting a crash course(速成课), in which they are learning how to spend，save and look after their money responsibly.
Tuesday marked the grand opening of the newest Junior Achievement Finance Park， where eighth-graders from Prince George’s County schools will use tablet computers to practice personal finance skills they have learned in class. An international study last year clearly showed that more than 1 in 6 U. S. teens is unable to make simple choices about how to spend their money.
The center, a mini city of stores, was created by Prince George’s County schools, Capital One Bank and Junior Achievement of Greater Washington. In fact the first Washington-area Finance Park opened in Fairfax County, Virginia, five years ago. Altogether there are 17 finance parks nationwide, and one is planned to open in Montgomery County, Maryland.
Before coming to a finance park, students have lessons on how to save and invest, how to read a bank statement and how to make sense of debit (借记）and credit cards. They put their skills to the test when they walk inside. Students are given a career, salary, debt and family situation, and then they are required to have to put together a monthly budget (预算）.
Budgeting can be tricky. Students need to figure out how much to spend on groceries, rent, transportation and even entertainment. They shop with virtual (虚拟的）money，making a change in their budgets according to different situations they may go into.
When asked about the practice，LaChelle King，a teacher at Benjamin Tasker Middle School in Bowie, said the center was exciting and surprising for her students. One of the kids said, " Now I know why my mom gets mad at me when I ask her to buy me things!"
【1】In the crash course，students learn to ___________.
A.make money B.spend money
C.develop finance knowledge D.make a monthly budget
【2】The finance park is________________________.
A.a center where students practice finance skills
B.a park where people can buy what they need
C.a bank where people can borrow or save money
D.a classroom where students learn finance skills
【3】The underlined phrase“make sense of”in the fourth paragraph means "___________ ’’ .
A.stand up for B.keep away from
C.get ready for D.have an understanding of
【4】The last paragraph tries to tell us___________ .
A.U.S. teens need a lot of things in daily life
B.U. S. mothers don’t know how to spend money
C.teachers also learn a lot from the crash courses
D.the crash courses have a good effect on students
29、Tips for avoiding traffic jams
The radio has more than just music. Check the local news station for the latest traffic report. Or go online and check traffic cameras before you set out. If there is a jam, you’ll be prepared and can try another route.
Take the road less travelled. Although highways may be the most direct route, back (偏僻的) roads can be much less crowded, which can save you from the frustration of the stopandgo traffic.
Rush hour isn’t just a lovely nickname. It means the morning and afternoon traffic lasts for several hours, but they’re still called “rush hour” for a reason — everyone’s on the road and in a hurry to get somewhere. Treat rush hour like bad weather — if you don’t have to go anywhere, stay off the roads.
Tips for those unavoidable traffic jams
Don’t break the law. You’ve gone 30 feet in 30 minutes and all of a sudden you see people using the shoulders (紧急停车道). Don’t behave like them. Not only is this illegal, but also there’s a good chance they’ll get caught or cause even more problems.
Pay extra attention to zigzaggers (Z字形行进者). When some people are anxious, they may start changing lanes (车道) every 5 seconds or cut you off. Keep checking your windows and mirrors for these lane changers.
Look for an escape. If it is possible to exit the road safely, do it. Use a GPS unit, and you can change your route midtrip if needed.
Be courteous. Good manners could help you avoid a possible accident. Allow people in from a lane that is ending. Speeding up to keep them out increases your chances of an accident.
【1】To avoid traffic jams, we are advised to do the following EXCEPT .
A．getting traffic news before leaving
B．changing lanes frequently
C．avoiding rush hours
D．choosing back roads
【2】What should we do when there are zigzaggers?
A．Sound the horn loudly.
B．Stop and let them go first.
C．Keep checking the mirrors.
D．Drive quickly to keep them out.
【3】In which part of a magazine can this passage be found?
A．Entertainment.
B．Advertisement.
C．Market.
D．Life.
