27、 As wildfires continued to sweep across Australia, the loss of life in the area was reaching astonishing numbers. Ecologists (生态学家) at the University of Sydney said that nearly half a billion animals and plants had been wiped out since the fires began several months before. Images and videos from the area showed kangaroos trying to escape from burning forests and charred (烧焦的) bodies of koalas lying on the ground.
Koalas, which had been already under threat because of significant habitat loss, were hit particularly hard compared with other animals. Ecologists said nearly 8,000 koalas—about one-third of the population in their primary habitat-were believed to have died from the big fires. Professor Dieter Hochuli from the University of Sydney said it wasn’t just the well- known species, such as kangaroos, koalas and emus(鸸鹋), that were in danger. Insects also suffered losses. Additionally, many rare plant species might have disappeared completely.
While animal hospitals were taking in as many animals as possible to treat burns and nursed them back to health, services had overall struggled to keep up with the amount of care needed. And the animals that had survived would have trouble finding food and shelters among the ongoing flames, so they were still in a dangerous situation.
“We’re getting a lot of lessons out of this and it’s just showing how unprepared we are,” Dr. Sussan Ley said. “Now Australia is burning and national parks and our native animals are being destroyed. People have lost homes. People have died. Firefighters have been killed defending communities, most recently last night. There’s no protocols (拟定草案) in place even wildlife carers dont’ have protocols for when they can go in after fire. It’s our national government that is failing us.”
【1】What’s the purpose of the second paragraph?
A.To explain why there were so many rare animals in Australia.
B.To show the terrible effect Australian wildfires had on species.
C.To further confirm Professor Dieter Hochuli’s’unique opinion.
D.To warn people to take good care of wild animals and plants.
【2】Why were the animals still in danger after surviving the fire?
A.They failed to recover from serious burns.
B.They might be hunted by people for food.
C.They were short of food and shelters.
D.They were unable to get nursing services.
【3】What is Dr.Sussan Ley’s attitude towards the national government’s deed?
A.Supportive. B.Unconcerned. C.Doubtful. D.Dissatisfied.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A.Many rare animal species might have disappeared.
B.Measures should be taken to prevent Australian wildfires.
C.Australian wildfires killed nearly half a billion animals and plants.
D.Ecologists have made great efforts to find the causes of wildfires.
28、When Americans think of the lunch menu at their childhood school cafeterias, they probably imagine a shapeless, tasteless pile of mystery meat – plus some brown much（糊状物）,to match. But for children in Japan, school lunches are a rich experience where culture, nutrition and sustainability collide.
“Japan’s standpoint is that school lunches are a part of education, not a break from it,” Masahiro Oji, a government director of school health education in Japan, told The Washington Post.
Fare offered at schools in Japan is affordable, fresh, and made by the students themselves. And Japanese children don’t just eat the food they prepare; they learn about the nutritional and cultural elements of their meals, too. The food is grown locally and includes a balanced menu of rice, vegetable, fish and soups. As a bonus, each meal costs just $2.50.
“Parents hear their kids talking about what they had for lunch,” Tatsuji Shino, the principal at Umejima Elementary School in Tokyo, told The Washington Post, “and kids ask them to re-create the meals at home.”
Japanese students also learn cooperation and etiquette（礼仪）as they serve and clean up after each other. Mealtime is a scene of communal duty: In both elementary and middle schools, students in white coats and caps serve their classmates. Children eat in their classrooms. They get identical meals, and if they leave food untouched, they are out of luck: Their schools have no vending machines. Children in most districts are barred from bringing food to school, either, until they reach high school.
Considering the fact that Japan has one of the world’s lowest childhood obesity rates, the U.S. probably has a lot to learn from this country’s school lunches. A 2011 study found that American students who regularly ate the school lunch – where options include pizza, chicken tenders（炸鸡柳）and French fries – were 29 percent more likely to be obese than those who brought lunch from home.
【1】According to the article, which word best describes what Americans think of their lunch at school?
A．Tasty.
B．Ordinary.
C．Disgusting.
D．Unique.
【2】The underlined word “Fare” in the third paragraph probably means________.
A．food
B．breakfast
C．drinks
D．price
【3】What is the main purpose of students’ preparing lunch by themselves in Japanese schools?
A．To allow students to learn cooperation.
B．To teach students some basic life skills.
C．To let students learn about nutritional values of foods.
D．To inspire students to share their food with others.
【4】What can we infer from the passage?
A．Japan has the lowest rate of obesity in the world.
B．Japanese schools lay great emphasis on cooperation and etiquette.
C．American school children don’t bring homemade lunches.
D．Students in Japan are healthier in every way than those in America.
29、Students perform less well in final exams if smartphones are allowed in class, for non-academic (非学业的) purposes in lectures, a new study in Educational Psychology finds. Students who don’t use smartphones themselves but attend lectures where their use is acceptable also do worse, suggesting that smartphone use damages the group learning environment.
Researchers from Rutgers University in the US performed an in-class experiment to test whether dividing attention between smartphones and the lecturer during the class affected students’ performance in within-lecture tests and a final exam. 118 students at Rutgers University took part in the experiment during one term of their course. Smartphones were not allowed in half of the lectures and allowed in the other half. When smartphones were allowed, students were asked to record whether they had used them for non-academic purposes during the lecture.
The study found that having a smartphone didn’t lower students’ scores in comprehension tests within lectures, but it did lower scores in the final exam by at least 5%, or half a grade. This finding shows for the first time that the main effect of divided attention in the classroom is on the length of time in keeping memory, with fewer things of a study task later remembered. In addition, when the use of smartphones was allowed in class, performance was also poorer for students who did not use them as well as for those who did.
The study’s lead author, Professor Arnold Glass, added: “These findings should alarm students and teachers that dividing attention is having a not obvious but harmful effect that is damaging their exam performance and final grade. To help manage the use of smartphones in the classroom, teachers should explain to students the alarming effect—not only for themselves, but for the whole class.”
This is the first-ever study in an actual classroom showing a relationship between losing attention from smartphones and exam performance. However, more researches are required to see how students are affected by using smartphones after school.
【1】What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A．To present the main findings of the experiment.
B．To explain how the experiment was carried out.
C．To give details about the result of the experiment.
D．To suggest what should be done for teachers and students.
【2】We know from the experiment that having a smartphone in class ________.
A．had no bad effect if students do not use them
B．caused an average 5% drop in students’ scores
C．made it harder for students to keep things in mind
D．had a bad effect on students’ performance in all tests
【3】What’s Professor Glass’ attitude towards using smartphones in class?
A．He was against it.
B．He was in favor of it.
C．He cared little about it.
D．He doubted the findings.
【4】What is the research team likely to do next?
A．To find out ways to improve students’ memory.
B．To call on schools to ban smartphones completely.
C．To study the influence of using smartphones after class.
D．To do researches on focusing attention in actual classrooms.
30、 Like millions of people around the world, I used to spend every December making a New Year’s resolution or two. However, by February, like clockwork, exactly ______ would be achieved.
When I was younger, this didn’t ______ me all that much. But in my 20s I realized that trying to keep a ______ New Year’s resolution was like writing a novel or climbing a mountain — it just wasn’t achievable.
So, ______ focusing on one large thing and giving up when I didn’t succeed, I decided to make a ________ of little things I wanted to work on during the year. So far this has ______ things like keeping my house a little bit ______, spending more time with my dog and even dropping a few pounds. My _________ has been to focus on taking small steps every day.
I’m now making ______ toward those goals without feeling ______ pressured or disappointed that I haven’t done more. Simple upgrades like wiping down my bathroom sink every day after ______ my makeup (化妆品) have become second ______ to me. While losing weight, I focus on cutting just a pound at a time.
I don’t even ______ these New Year’s resolutions, and that helps to make my small goals feel more achievable. They’re just little goals I’ve set to be happier and healthier over time. I also ________ myself once in a while along the way. For example, I ______ myself a new pair of sneakers when I ran three weeks out of the month. And then there’s the free time I naturally have in tidying the bathroom sink every day, which takes less time than a deep ______ on a Sunday.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
The view that the spirit of adventure no longer has any scope for its enterprise seems, at first glance, depressingly true. The highest mountains have been scaled; the deepest seas plumbed. Maps today no longer contain huge blanks marked "Unknown Territory", nor do they make random guesses at the shapes of 【1】 land-masses. All major journeys of exploration to 【2】 the true shape and nature of the globe have been made in the past. It was left to us to fill in the details with 【3】 which once would have been considered impossible. The gaps have been 【4】. What next?
The obvious answer, of course, is that man is now looking upwards into space. Discoveries are being made at such a tremendous rate that even authors of science-fiction are finding it difficult to keep up with them and have to tax their imagination to invent bigger and better space-craft. Satellites sending signals as they swing round our globe have become 【5】.
Astronauts have successfully landed on the moon and its entire surface has been photographed. The information that satellites may provide fueling stations for manned rockets no longer strikes us as preposterous. If thirty years ago, a scientist has urged that we send messages into outer space in the hope of receiving an answer, he would have been regarded as either irresponsible or mad. Now, anything seems 【6】.
From dreams like these, we return to earth with a bump. Trips into space are all very well, but they are not for us; we must 【7】 ourselves with our own, much-traveled world. The earth itself is the training-ground for adventurous spirits, for "adventure" need not mean the seeking out of something new. A person can be called adventurous when he finds out something for himself, and it does not matter how many times the discovery has been made before. No one would say that men who set out now to cross the forbidding Antarctic are less enterprising than their predecessors who tried to do the same thing. The little boy who climbs the small hill that 【8】 his town, or even he who tries to climbs and fails, has precisely the same spirit that led Hillary to climb Everest. For the bold spirit and inquiring mind, there are inexhaustible possibilities. So long as there are people willing to 【9】 places that are well-known, there will be those who will, one day, set foot on remote and 【10】 shores.
