26、 When I was a child, not many of us grew up with pets in Asia. It was unusual to show sympathy towards animals. We learnt respect for our elders and for our government, and we learnt etiquette( 礼仪)too, but rarely was it suggested that we extend any feelings towards animals, or indeed that animals have feelings. And because of this, many children in Asia grow up considering animals exist to serve us, feed us, entertain us and clothe us.
I co-founded ACT Asia in 2006 with an Asian vet, to support the development of caring societies in Asia. While many nonprofits were already addressing human, animal and environmental concerns with direct action, 1 felt the cultural shock between continents was too great to ignore. We had to accept that change would not happen immediately, and that intervening((干预)would cause defence. First, we have to help societies understand the interdependence of people, animals and our natural habitat. Instead of stepping in to find fault, we stepped back and considered the cause. Millions of people live below the poverty line, and most left-behind children live without their parents, so it was clear that our biggest barrier was ignorance, not cruelty.
With the future in mind, education is at the core of all we do. We should teach children about respect and kindness, and we see that a sense of responsibility is improving. By doing so, they are developing a keen sense of respect, to each other, for all species and our natural environment, but also for themselves. Given the chance to understand the truth about life on earth, many people-but children in particular-will choose compassion(同情)over cruelty.
【1】What were the Asian children like when the author was a child?
A.They never kept pets.
B.They had no compassion,
C.They didn't pay attention to their behavior.
D.They took it for granted that animals serve human.
【2】What is the purpose of the ACT Asia?
A.To find the causes of poverty in Asia.
B.To appeal to people not to kill animals.
C.To improve Asian's sense of caring societies.
D.To help solve the culture shock between countries.
【3】What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A.Direct action of many nonprofits was efficient.
B.The change of caring societies would appear soon.
C.People,animals and our natural habitat exist together.
D.The biggest barrier of us was not ignorance but cruelty .
【4】What does the author think of present Asian children's sense of caring society?
A.It is hopeless. B.It is satisfying.
C.It is annoying. D.It is uncertain.
27、Free Wi-Fi has become incredibly important to us: many stores and shopping malls offer it, restaurants use it to attract customers, and for libraries and coffee shops it is a must-have service.
Even when people are traveling, they scan for free Wi-Fi, which, according to research released by London’s Amba Hotel on Dec 4, has become the most important standard for selecting a hotel.
According to the survey, as many as 67 percent of travelers questioned said that free Wi-Fi would make them more likely to choose accommodation, above other things such as the hotel’s location and friendly staff. When rating a hotel that they’d already stayed in, six in ten travelers believed that unlimited Wi-Fi was the most important factor in their rating.
“Today, people treat their smartphones, tablets and laptops like clothes when they are about to travel to some places. They will never forget to pack it into the suitcase,” said the Daily Mail. “We rely on free Wi-Fi heavily when traveling –– especially when it comes to checking social media, searching for travel tips, and accessing websites.”
However, despite the opportunities that free Wi-Fi gives us, “our over-reliance on technology has come at a price, with travelers feeling unable to escape social media”, said Lonely Planet, the world’s largest travel guide brand.
Anita Isalska, Lonely Planet editor and tech addict, was forced to unplug when she was stuck in an isolated (隔绝的) camp in Greenland recently. “Adjusting to this slower pace, it began to dawn on me: somewhere, somehow, social media had changed into a reflex (条件反射),” she wrote. “I had believed I was capturing moments, but in reality my busy thumbs were preventing me from enjoying travel’s most profound pleasures. How fully can you appreciate a huge glacier or meadow (草地) of wildflowers when your brain is subconsciously (潜意识地) selecting the right photo filter (滤镜), or the perfect six seconds to film?”
In September, the brand released 10 predictions for the future of global travel. One of them was that true escapes will be highly valued in future, so remote hotels will start to make their lack of Internet into a feature. Would you like to have an unplugged holiday?
【1】What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article?
A.To argue against people’s over-reliance on Wi-Fi.
B.To predict what global travel will be like in the future.
C.To protest against travelers’ standard when selecting a hotel.
D.To stress the growing importance of free Wi-Fi in daily lives.
【2】Why do travelers attach importance to free Wi-Fi when selecting a hotel?
A.They believe hotels with free Wi-Fi usually have better locations.
B.They think hotels with free Wi-Fi are likely to provide better service.
C.They depend on free Wi-Fi to check social media and access websites.
D.They hope to enjoy more profound pleasures while using free Wi-Fi.
【3】What does the underlined word “unplug” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.Check social media.
B.Call off a travelling plan.
C.Appreciate beautiful scenery.
D.Disconnect from digital devices.
【4】What is the lesson Anita Isalska learned from the isolated camp she attended in Greenland recently?
A.Travelers should adapt to a slower pace when checking social media.
B.Addiction to social media has negatively affected the quality of travel.
C.Travelers should take more photos and videos during their journeys.
D.Beautiful scenery could be appreciated better if films are shot cautiously.
28、 Humans produce 300 million tons of plastic waste every year -which is roughly equivalent (相当于) to the total weight of all humans living right now. But a new discovery offers hope, and could improve the way we deal with plastic.
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have designed a plastic that can be recycled (回收) over and over again, and turned into new materials of any color, shape, or form. They are calling it polydiketoenamine or PDK, and this new plastic can be broken apart all the way down to the molecular (分子的) level.
Brett Helms, the staff scientist at the Berkeley Lab who led the research, told ABC News that the new discovery “could significantly reduce the leakage (泄漏) of plastics into the environment.”
“That broken black watchband you threw in the rubbish could find new life as a computer keyboard if it’s made with our PDK plastics”, Helms said.
Many plastics used today were made with chemicals that make them stronger, but these chemicals can also make it more difficult to fully recycle the material or recycle them repeatedly. Over time, researchers say, even ‘recyclable’ plastics may end up in a landfill.
The Berkeley Lab says these types of chemicals had previously prevented plastic from achieving “the holy grail of recycling,” and that PDK plastic might be the answer.
“If these factories were designed to recycle or upcycle PDK and related plastics, then we would be able to more effectively remove plastic from landfills and the oceans,” Helms said.
Researchers say the next plan is to develop PDK plastics to use in cloth, building materials, and 3D printing.
The researcher’s findings are published in full in Nature Chemistry.
【1】What is the clear advantage of PDK plastics over many plastics used today?
A.PDK plastics are light.
B.PDK plastics are strong.
C.PDK plastics can be recycled repeatedly.
D.PDK plastics are used the most widely in the world.
【2】According to Helms, a computer keyboard thrown into rubbish ________.
A.is useless B.can be recycled
C.can be used again D.is not made with PDK plastics
【3】The underlined words “the holy grail” in the passage probably mean ________.
A.the final goal B.the new discovery
C.the bad condition D.serious pollution
【4】What are the researchers going to do next?
A.Publish their findings. B.Find new ways to use PDK plastics.
C.Sell their new discovery. D.Produce more PDK plastics.
29、 Imagine this: you are twenty-one years old and a promising graduate student at one of the top universities in the world. One day, your doctor tells you that you have an incurable disease and may not have more than twelve months to live. How would you feel? What would you do? Here is what Stephen Hawking thought:
(There did not seem) much point in working on my PhD-I did not expect to survive that long. Yet two years had gone by and I was not that much worse. In fact, things were going rather well for me and I had got engaged to a very nice girl, Jane Wilde. But in order to get married, I needed a job,and in order to get a job, I needed a PhD.
Instead of giving up, Hawking went on with his research, got his PhD and married Jane. Nor did he let the disease stop him from living the kind of life he had always dreamt of. He continued his exploration of the universe and travelled around the world to give lectures. As his disease has disabled him, Hawking has to sit in his now-famous wheelchair and speak through a computer. He talked about his theories and thoughts on some of the greatest questions: What is time, how did the universe begin,and what exactly are black holes?
Hawking became famous in the early 1970s, when he and American Roger Penrose made new discoveries about the Big Bang and black holes. Since then, Hawking has continued to seek answers to questions about the nature of the universe. In 1988, he wrote A Brief History of Time, which quickly became a best-seller. Readers were pleased and surprised to find that a scientist could write about his work in a way that ordinary people could understand. The book sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages.
【1】According to the quote in paragraph 2, when was Stephen Hawking told about his disease?
A.Twelve months earlier. B.When he was getting married.
C.Two years earlier. D.When he met Jane Wilde.
【2】Why did Stephen Hawking think: “There did not seem much point in working on my PhD?”
A.Because there was no point in being a PhD. B.Because he thought he would die soon.
C.Because there was no hope of being PhD. D.Because he had no place to work.
【3】What made Hawking known to the world in 1970s?
A.His book A Brief History of Time. B.His discovery about the Big Bang and black hole.
C.His fighting against the disease. D.His lectures to university students.
【4】What can we learn from Steven Hawking?
A.Where there is a will,there is a way. B.Every road leads to Rome.
C.Practice makes perfect. D.Better late than never.

31、
The meaning of silence varies among cultural group. Silence may be 【1】, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every 【2】 with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs. Many native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of 【3】 among people, just at some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore when a person from one of these culture is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be 【4】 is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these culture, silence is a call for 【5】.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with 【6】 among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show 【7】between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority(权威)rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the 【8】 meanings of silence wen they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own persona and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not 【9】 too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing 【10】 of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
