26、 Mother’s Day is a time for children, young and old, to show how much they appreciate their mothers. Mother’s Day started in the US, where it’s celebrated on the second Sunday in May. 【1】
It became an official US holiday in 1915. It was the result of the love of one girl, Anna Jarvis of West Virginia.【2】 As a girl, Anna helped her mother take care of the garden and filled it with white carnations (康乃馨), her mother’s favorite flower.
When Mrs. Jarvis died on May 5, 1905, Anna was determined to honor her. 【3】 On the same Sunday in Philadelphia, a minister honored Mrs. Jarvis and all mothers with a special Mother’s Day service. Anna Jarvis began writing to the government, asking them to set aside a day to honor all mothers. In 1910, the governor of West Virginia made the second Sunday in May Mother’s Day.
【4】 Other children give their mothers gifts that they’ve made themselves or bought from stores. Adults give their mothers red carnations, the official Mother’s Day flower. White carnations are placed on the graves of mothers who are no longer alive.
Mother’s Day is now celebrated in more than 40 countries, including Denmark, Finland, Italy, and Australia. 【5】 In France, Mother’s Day is the last Sunday in May. A cake in the shape of flowers is presented to mothers at a family dinner.
A.So why is it celebrated on different dates?
B.But do you know the origin of Mother’s Day?
C.Anna’s mother provided great support for the family.
D.But not all countries celebrate Mother’s Day at the same time.
E.The second Sunday in May was the Sunday closest to her mother’s death.
F.She asked the minister of her church to hold a special service in honor of her mother.
G.On the morning of Mother’s Day, some American children serve their mothers breakfast in bed.

28、In a landmark study, published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers placed the genetically modified (转基因的) mosquitoes in a special laboratory that has similar conditions to sub-Saharan Africa, where mosquitoes spread malaria, a deadly disease.
The male mosquitoes were engineered with a sequence of DNA known as a “gene drive” that can rapidly transmit a mutation (突变) that wipes out populations of the insects. The goal is to create a powerful new tool to fight malaria.
Years of additional research will be needed to prove the approach works and the mosquitoes would be safe to release into the wild. The project would also require approval and agreement by local residents in areas where those mosquitoes live, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa.
The modification consisted of a mutation in a gene known as “doublesex”, which female mosquitoes need for normal development. The mutation deforms the mouths of mosquitoes, making them unable to bite and spread the disease. It also deforms their reproductive organs, making them unable to lay eggs.
“The mutation is combined with a gene drive, a selfish type of genetic element that spreads itself in the mosquito population,” said Tony Nolan of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, who helped develop and test the mosquitoes.
Because of fears of disturbing the delicate balance of ecosystems, the researchers have taken extraordinary steps to prevent the insects from escaping. The scientists first tested the mosquitoes in a high-security basement lab in London, where the mosquitoes destroyed unmodified mosquitoes in small cages.
To try to test the mosquitoes safely under more natural conditions, the researchers built a special high-security lab in Italy, which has similar environment to the natural environment in sub-Saharan Africa. It is also designed to keep their gene-drive mosquitoes from escaping. For example, anyone entering the most secure part of the lab had to pass through a special room that would prevent any mosquitoes from exiting. The lab was purposefully located far from Africa in case, somehow, any mosquitoes managed to get out.

【4】What can be inferred about the researchers’ experiment?

B．Some mosquitoes escaped from the lab.
C．Research work had to be stopped due to safety concerns.
D．The mosquitoes failed to adapt to the conditions in the lab.

31、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.
Scientists have proved what students have long suspected: Maths equations can actually trigger physical pain.
Regions of the brain linked with the experience of physical 【1】 were activated in those fearful of maths when they were presented with a tough equation, researchers have found. The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 【2】 activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.
However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 【3】 event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 【4】 the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.
“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their paper titled. When Math Hurts. “【5】, this relation was not seen during math performance, 【6】 that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 【7】 math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 【8】 paths. We provide the first neural 【9】 indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.
Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 【10】 or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.”
