26、Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you gain or lose weight. 【1】 Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.
【2】Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for when people are in poorly-lit places, they are more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn't have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
【3】 Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. 【4】 However, cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.
【5】 People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, and while you're at it, actually sit down to eat.
A．Mind the colors of your room.
B．You will enjoy your home environment.
C．Don’t forget the clock.
D．Open the curtains and turn up the lights.
E．Listen to some light music.

27、 Any snakebite can be dangerous if infection (感染) sets in. Some types of snake poison make the bite area swollen (肿胀的) or painful. Others cause bleeding or damage the heart’s nerves. Here are some especially dangerous snakes:
The largest of all poisonous snakes, king cobras can reach 5.5 meters in length. Each king cobra bite contains enough poison to kill an elephant — or 20 people. But these big snakes usually avoid people. They live throughout India, southern China and Southeast Asia.
A bite from Australia’s inland taipan, the world’s most poisonous snake, releases enough poison to kill 100 men. The good news is that people rarely come in contact with this snake, and a treatment for its poison exists.
Russell’s viper lives throughout Asia, including India, southern China, and on the island of Taiwan. It prefers grassy fields but can be found in forests and urban areas. It bites more people and causes more deaths than any other poisonous snake.
Though short, the common Indian krait packs a powerful punch (攻击) in its bite. Most often, it strikes people at night while they are sleeping. Since the bite causes little pain, victims are often not sure that they have been bitten until they begin to experience stomach cramps (痉挛). Without treatment, symptoms will worsen quickly and can lead to death.
The black mamba, a native of Africa, is actually olive or grey in color. Only the inside of its mouth is black. When black mambas feel threatened by a human, they make a loud hissing sound to warn the person away. If the warning is ignored, the snake will attack the person repeatedly. And they can attack quickly, moving over the ground at speeds of up to 20 kilometers per hour.
【1】According to this article, what is a particular feature (特点) of the king cobra?
A. Its seasonal changes. B. Its lack of movement.
C. Its sense of hearing. D. Its amazing size.
【2】According to this article, which of the following is known for its speed?
A. The inland taipan. B. The black mamba.
C. The Indian krait. D. The Russell’s viper.
【3】What does the article imply about the inland taipan?
A. It is believed to have died out.
B. Meeting with it can cause death.
C. Some people keep one as a pet.
D. Very little is known about its behavior.
【4】In which magazine would you most likely find this article?
A. Let’s Explore Nature B. Weekly Travel Digest
C. Psychology Magazine D. Global Warning News
28、It seems there’s nowhere left to run from the microplastic (微塑料的)pollution. A small pilot study recently took microplastics from one of Europe’s most distant places, the French Pyrenees mountains, and found as many microplastics in the soil as you might expect from a big city like Paris.
The reason? The wind. Researchers now fear that our planet’s winds can pick up microplastics from about anywhere and transport them around the world, sometimes in large quantities. “We’d kind of expected it in a city getting blown around,” said Steve Allen from the University of Strathclyde in the UK, one member of the team. “But way up there? We expected to find some, ” he said. “We didn’t expect to find so many.”
Microplastics are pieces smaller than a fifth of an inch that have broken down from larger pieces of plastic. The forces of nature don’t distinguish (区分)between materials like stones and rocks, and plastics. Wind and waves hit plastics and break them down just the same, making them into dust that can then get swept up by the gentle wind and into the atmosphere. It’s a continuing environmental concern, as more and more microplastics find their way into our food and air.
The fact that microplastics can be found in large numbers even in distant places is a sign that is has become a global pollution problem. Steve Allen and his team set up collectors 4,500 feet up in the mountains for five months to trap plastic particles (粒子) as they fell to the Earth. The team found that an average of 365 plastic particles fell on their square meter collector daily. This included bits form plastic bags, plastic film and packaging material, among other plastic sources. Many of these materials were small enough to be breathed in without even realizing it. They’re in the air, and they’re everywhere.
【1】How did Steve Allen think of the finding?
A．It was interesting.
B．It was surprising.
C．It was conflicting.
D．It was disappointing.
【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A．How the wind spreads the microplastics.
B．How the microplastics come into being.
C．How the microplastic pollution appears.
D．How the wind makes the pollution serious.
【3】What do we know about the plastic particles?
A．It is difficult to collect them.
B．They all come from big cities.
C．They are part of the air we breathe.
D．It is impossible to know their source.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．Plastics have been found in the distant areas.
B．Plastics are proved to do great harm to the soil.
C．The microplastic pollution is worse in big cities.
D．Wind is carrying microplastics around the world.
29、 A high-factor sunscreen(防晒霜) is generally expected to protect the skin from harmful rays, but it isn’t. A new research in this week's Nature shows that while factor 50 reduces the number of melanomas(黑瘤) and delays their occurrence, it can't prevent them. Melanomas are the most aggressive skin cancers. You have a higher risk if you have red or blond hair, fair skin, blue or green eyes, or sunburn easily, or if a close relative has had one. Melanomas are more common if you have periodic intense exposure to the sun. Other skin cancers are increasingly likely with long-term exposure.
There is continuing debate as to how effective sunscreen is in reducing melanomas—the evidence is weaker than it is for preventing other types of skin cancer. A 2011 Australian study of 1,621 people found that people selected to apply sunscreen daily had half the rate of melanomas of people who used cream as needed. A second study, comparing 1,167 people with melanomas to 1,101 who didn't have the cancer, found that using sunscreen routinely, alongside other protection such as hats, long sleeves or staying in the shade, did give some protection. This study said other forms of sun protection—not sunscreen—seemed most beneficial. The study relied on people remembering what they had done over each decade of their lives, so it's not entirely reliable. But it seems reasonable to think sunscreen gives people a false sense of security in the sun.
The good news is that a combination of sunscreen and covering up can reduce melanoma rates. So if there is a heat wave this summer, it would be best for us, too, to pull on a shirt, apply some sunscreen and put on a hat.
【1】What is people's common expectation of a high-factor sunscreen?
A. It will delay the occurrence of skin cancer.
B. It will protect them from sunburn.
C. It will keep their skin smooth and fair.
D. It will work for people of any skin color.
【2】What do we learn from the 2011 Australian study of 1,621 people？
A. Sunscreen should be applied alongside other protection measures.
B. High-risk people benefit the most from the application of sunscreen.
C. Irregular application of sunscreen does women more harm than good.
D. Daily application of sunscreen helps reduce the incidence of melanomas.
【3】What does the author suggest to reduce melanoma rates？
A. Using both covering up and sunscreen.
B. Staying in the shade whenever possible.
C. Using covering up instead of sunscreen.
D. Applying the right amount of sunscreen.

PISA is a two-hour test that compares the performance of 15-year-olds. In the latest test, the countries with the best readers were South Korea and Finland. But students in Shanghai. China, scored the highest of all in reading, mathematics and science. The next【1】 results were in Hong Kong. Singapore, Canada, New Zealand and Japan. In all, around half a million students in more than 70 【2】took the test last year. The test has been given every three years since 2000. Last year was the first time Shanghai took part.
Mr. ANDREAS SCHLEICHER says “Asian countries 【3】 education more than other countries. They have given education a【4】. Every child, every teacher, every parent knows that education is the【5】 to success.” He says other education systems can learn from Shanghai. For example, he says education spending in the province has increased, including teacher pay and training.
