26、   Most male birds try to attract mates with beautiful gestures. However, the white bellbird, local to the Amazon rainforest in Brazil makes the loudiest call ever recorded for that purpose. That is 40 Db higher than the safe hearing range for humans, which is 85 Db. Before this, the honor belonged to another Amazon-liver—the well-known screaming piha, which set a record of 116 Db.

Mario Cohn-Haft, one of the study's authors, first became familiar with the loud birds through his trips to the mountains of the Brazilian Amazon.” We could hear them all over the place; they're kind of the soundtrack of these forests,” says the researcher at Brazil's National Institute of Amazonian Research.“They give out these loud ringing sounds that sound like someone hitting metal, like a blacksmith.”

To find out how loud the white bellbird's sound actually was, Mario Cohn-Haft and Jeff Podos from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, walked to the mountains of the Amazon rainforests in northern Brazil in December 2018 and then again in February 2019. What they discovered was interesting

The pigeon-sized white bellbirds began their courtship(求偶) with a slightly gentler scream that averages about 116 Db. Upon attracting their possible mate's attention, they increase their effort with the deafening “song”. What was strange was that the male began by singing its first note with its back to the female and then turned suddenly. “You see this bird spinning around, and he's got his beak(鸟喙) wide open,” Podos said. “And he makes the second note right in the place the female would have been if she had not been smart enough to back off.”

The scientists are not sure why the female birds continue to stay so close even when the males are singing at full pitch(音高). "Maybe they are trying to judge the male birds up close, though at the risk of suffering damage to their hearing systems, "Podos thinks. Since the unpleasant sound, which increases the male birds' risk of being discovered, was not one of the survival skills, the researchers concluded that the female birds might have a preference for louder male birds.

The white bellbirds' ability to scream loudly may be the result of their diet, which only consists of fruits. Though the sizes of some fruits are like golf balls, the birds swallow them wholly. Cohn-Haft and Podos believe the bird’s ability to open their beaks wide helps increase their sound.

However, the scientists are puzzled about how the birds, both male and female, can endure the loud songs without going deaf.

【1】How do the male white bellbirds try to find a mate?

A.By making some beautiful gestures

B.By making a sound as loud as 125 Db

C.By singing beautiful songs to a possible mate

D.By hitting metal with their beaks to make a sound

【2】What did Jeff Podos find strange about the male white bellbirds?

A.They sang more than one note during the courtship

B.They began their courtship with a slightly gentler scream

C.They got their beaks wide open when giving out a sound

【3】What is the last but one paragraph mainly about?

A.How animals can make louder sounds B.What the white bellbird mainly feeds on

C.Why the white bellbird can make such a sound D.Why the white bellbird usually swallows fruits

【4】What does the underlined word"endure" in the last paragraph mean?

27、   Almost everyone has heard the expression, “the calm before the storm”. It is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument.

British sailors coined the phrase in the late 1600s; they noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become static and the winds would drop.

But why is it often so calm before a storm?

Science has given us the answer. According to US infotainment (资讯娱乐) website HowStuffWorks, a calm period occurs because many storms, such as tornadoes and hurricanes, draw in all the warm and humid air from the surrounding area. As this air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts as “fuel for the storm, like petrol in a car”.

Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level. As the air descends (下降), it becomes warm and dry. Warm, dry air is stable, so once it covers an area, it causes a calm period before the storm.

This same process also causes the “eye of the storm” in hurricanes and tornadoes. In these conditions, the calm occurs in the center of the storm because of the strong rotating (旋转的) winds.

The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is. First, count how many seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder. Roughly three seconds equal one kilometer. So, for example, if you count nine seconds, the storm is about 3 kilometers away. A good gauge (评估) is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away.

However, due to the complexity of storm system, not all storms are preceded by calm. Given the right conditions, some storms announce themselves with heavy rain and chilling (寒冷的) winds. So, your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area. That’s the most reliable and sensible way to predict the next display of nature’s temper (脾气).

【1】What is the main idea of Paragraphs 4 and 5?

A.To explain how a storm comes into being.

B.To support previous research on storm clouds.

C.To explain why a peaceful period occurs before a storm.

D.To show how dangerous a storm can be in certain situations.

【2】If there are 15 seconds between a flash of lightning and a thunder clap, how far away is the storm?

A.Three kilometers. B.Four kilometers.

C.Five kilometers. D.Six kilometers.

【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A.It is not always quiet before a storm.

B.Storms have a big influence on life.

C.Heavy storms don’t usually last for a long time.

D.Weather reports may fail to predict a storm.

28、   New research shows that daily light walking is important for maintaining health as you age. But if you can’t hit 10,000 steps, don't worry. There's nothing magical about the number 10,000.

In fact, the idea of walking at least 10,000 steps a day for health goes back decades to a marketing campaign started in Japan to promote a pedometer(计步器).And then, it was adopted in the US as a goal to promote good health.

"The original basis of the number was not scientific." says researcher I-Min Lee of Brigham and Women’s Hospital. She was curious to know how many steps you need to take a day to maintain good health and live a long life, so she and her colleagues designed a study. It turns out that women who took about 4,000 steps per day got an increase in longevity(寿命), compared with women who took fewer steps. “It was sort of surprising,” Lee says. Another surprise: the benefits of walking maxed out at about 7,500 steps. In other words, women who walked more than 7,500 steps per day saw no additional increase in longevity.

“ I love this study. I think it’s really good news for women who may not be very active. All they have to do is walk,” says Kathleen Janz, who studies how physical activity influences health at the University of Iowa. And Janz says that’s encouraging. Another thing Janz notes is that this study only measured walking. It didn’t measure things that don’t require steps, like gardening, swimming or biking.

So, if 10,000 steps has been feeling out of reach to you, it may be time to reset those factory settings on your fitness tracker. Instead, try to hit at least 4,400 a day, along with daily activities that you enjoy. And stick to it.

【1】What’s the original purpose of the idea of walking at least 10,000 steps a day?

A．To make people live longer.

B．To help sell a product.

C．To change people’s habits.

D．To test a pedometer

【2】How does Lee think of the result of the study?

A．Confusing

B．Unexpected

C．Encouraging

D．Doubtful

【3】Which may Kathleen Janz agree with?

A．People need 10,000 steps a day

B．Pedometer producers should change their settings.

C．The study should not only focus on daily walking.

D．Some activities that don’t demand steps also benefit health.

29、   When traveling abroad or even in your own country, you may have numerous opportunities to meet the locals of your destination.【1】Here are some tips on how to meet locals while traveling.

34、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Driving an electric car 【1】 to the protection of environment, or so the marketing departments of their makers would have you believe. Yet a report which analyzes car emissions presents a rather different picture. A battery-powered car recharged with 【2】 generated by coal-fired power stations, it found, is likely to be more harmful. It could cause more than three times as many deaths from pollution as a 【3】 petrol-driven vehicle.

The study was carried out by the University of Minnesota. The researchers estimated how levels of fine particulate matter (细颗粒物) and ground-level ozone — two important 【4】 of air pollution — would change when a car is powered by different ways.

It was no surprise that electric cars whose batteries were recharged with power from wind, solar or hydro-electric sources came out to be virtually free from harmful 【5】. They were estimated to cause 231 deaths over the course of a year, compared with 878 for petrol cars. Electric cars recharged with power from natural gas-fired stations were also a lot less harmful than petrol-driven ones, with 439 deaths. But if those same electric cars were recharged 【6】 by coal, they would be responsible for over 3,000 deaths.

Biofuels also caused more health problems than petrol. But diesel, which often  【7】 concern about pollution, is slightly cleaner than petrol. This is because the study assumes for all cars that emission-control technologies will be more widely used, especially particulate filters which have a remarkable effect on cleaning diesel 【8】. Diesel cars are also more 【9】 of fuel than petrol-driven ones.

Overall, the study shows that electric cars are cleaner than those traditional vehicles only if the power used to charge then is also clean. That is hardly a surprise, but the 【10】 of the difference is. How green electric cars really are, then, will depend mainly on where they are driven. In France, which obtains more than half of its power from nuclear station, electric cars look like a good bet. In China and some other developing countries, where a large amount of electricity is produced from coal, they may not be so environment- friendly as they are marketed.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

In Congress, July 4, 1776

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d【1】 the causes which impel them to the separation.

We h【2】 these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created e【3】, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable R【4】, that among these are life, L【5】, and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, g 【6】 are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the P 【7】 to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, l【8】 its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such f【9】, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their d 【10】, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

36、I have a muscle disease but I don't look any different from other people. Sometimes, I was too weak【1】 go to school so my education suffered. Every time I returned after an【2】(absent), I felt stupid because I was behind the others.

My life is a lot easier at high school because few fellow students make me【3】(annoy). My ambition is to work for a firm【4】develops computer software when I grow up. Last year I invented a computer football game and a big company has decided to buy it from me. I have a very busy life with no time to sit around【5】(feel) sorry for myself. As well as going to the movies and football matches with my friends. I spend a lot of time looking after my pets【6】(proper) but I find it worthwhile.
