26、A monkey lived happily in the forest. One day, he found some red apples. They looked delicious, so he took one in each hand. When he tried to eat one of the apples, it hurt his teeth. It turned out that these apples were made of wood (木头) . Though he couldn’t eat them, he decided to keep them.
On his way home, the monkey found some bananas. However, he couldn’t let go of the wooden apples to get them. He was afraid of losing the apples, so he just walked away.

27、 The future of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, which will open on Tuesday, has been doubted by some experts due to their low expectations as to its logistic(后勤的) functions. But instead, the bridge will play an important role in promoting the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
According to research made by the One Country Two Systems Research Institute, the grand bridge connecting Hong Kong, Macao and Zhuhai will have limited effects on freightage(货运) but it will have a meaningful influence on passenger traffic.
Under the economic environment of the Bay Area, particularly the western part, the bridge's transport function will focus on passenger traffic.
The bridge will give a big improvement to cross-boundary passenger traffic as using it will not only be less time-consuming than the currently used circuitous(迂回的) land routes, it will also be more economical than travel by sea. Demand for cross-boundary passenger transport is expected to increase greatly.
And prospects(前景) for the bridge's traffic volumes have received a improvement from two policies. The first is that the bridge charge for vehicles will be driver-friendly — between 60 yuan ($8.66) and 300 yuan per trip.
The second policy is connected with private car drivers. Hong Kong drivers without a mainland license can apply for a permit online and drive around Guangdong for a short period after entering the province through designated(指定的) ports.
Along with other favorable policies, which have already been carried out, the operation of the bridge is likely to strength regional unity.
Greater cooperation between Hong Kong and the western Pearl River Delta is a major value of the bridge.
【1】According to the passage, we know that .
A.Some experts once thought poorly of the future of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge
B.The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is only used for passenger traffic
C.Travel by sea will be replaced
D.Charge for vehicles will be high
【2】The influence of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge includes .
A.Make the transportation easier in this area
B.Improve tourism
C.Promote cooperation among Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao
D.All of the above
【3】A Hong Kong driver without a mainland license can .
A.enter the mainland through any port
B.stay in Guangdong for a short period
C.live in Guangdong as a citizen
D.drive around the mainland for a short period
28、Being fit and healthy doesn’t mean you have to work out for hours a day and eat nothing but chicken and vegetables for every meal. 【1】 The following are some of them.
You always complain you are too busy to go to the gym or to prepare a healthy meal. 【2】 You should start to put your health and fitness in the first place today. You can work out in the park and cook your favourite food after work. What you should do first is stop making excuses all the time.
You should walk more instead of driving a car when going out. The key to lifelong fitness is to simply be more active and walk more every day. Try your best to walk whenever and wherever you can —to the superstore, to the office, or go for an after-dinner walk with your family. 【3】
Instead of always going to the movies or watching TV, you should take part in activities that keep you moving. You can go for a bike ride, go on a hike, or go to play sports with your family and friends, such as ping-pong and basketball. 【4】 Not only will you get moving, but also you will have fun.
【5】 Many people underestimate the importance of a good night’s rest, but having a good rest each night is important for your health. Therefore, try to sleep seven to eight hours a night on a regular basis.
A.The list is endless.
B.Find ways to be close to nature.
C.Enough sleep is especially important.
D.Of course it’s not always possible to go to the gym.
E.However, for your health, you have to make a change.
F.In short, take every chance to walk as much as you can.
G.Actually, there are many good habits that will help you keep in shape.
29、Earthquakes are a natural disaster—except when they're man-made. The oil and gas industry has forcefully used the technique known as hydraulic fracturing (水力压裂法) to destroy sub-surface rock and liberate the oil and gas hiding there. But the process results in large amounts of chemical-filled waste water. Horizontal drilling (水平钻孔) for oil can also produce large amount of natural, unwanted salt water. The industry deals with this waste water by pumping it into deep wells.
On Monday, the US Geological Survey published for the first time an earthquake disaster map covering both natural and “induced” quakes. The map and a report show that parts of the central United States now face a ground-shaking disaster equal to the famously unstable terrain (不稳定地形) of California.
“Some 7 million people live in places easily attacked by these man-made quakes, ”the USGS said. The list of places at highest risk of man-made earthquakes includes Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Ohio and Alabama. Most of these earthquakes are relatively small, in the range of magnitude (震级) 3, but some have been more powerful, including a magnitude 5.6 earthquake in 2011 in Oklahoma that was connected to waste water filling.
Scientists said they do not know if there is an upper limit on the magnitude of man-made earthquakes; this is an area of active research. Oklahoma has had prehistoric earthquakes as powerful as magnitude 7.
It's not immediately clear whether this new research will change industry practices, or even whether it will surprise anyone in the areas of newly supposed danger. In Oklahoma, for example, the natural rate of earthquakes is only one or two a year, but there have been hundreds since hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, with the waste water filling, became common in the last ten years.
【1】What kind of human activities can cause earthquakes?
A.The man-made produced waste water in the factories.
B.The process of digging deep wells in those poor areas.
C.The advanced techniques used to deal with waste water.
D.The oil or gas industry's work connected with the earth.
【2】What does the underlined word “induced” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Man-made.
B.Reduced.
C.Newly-built.
D.Controlled.
【3】How did the author feel towards the present situation?
A.Concerned.
B.Neutral.
C.Indifferent.
D.Cautious.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Natural Earthquakes in America Are Disappearing Now
B.7 Million Americans at Risk of Man-Made Earthquakes
C.Time for Oil and Gas Industry Change Their Working Practice
D.More Often Earthquakes as Powerful as Magnitude 7 in America
