26、Known locally as sakura, the cherry blossoms in Japan are popular with both locals and tourists alike. For the Japanese, sakura hold much cultural and historical significance that goes deeper than their obvious beauty. 【1】
Sakura are usually only in full bloom(盛开) for about one week. 【2】 The flowers are so small and round that when they eventually start to fall, it’s almost like watching snow fall from the skies.
The specific time of the cherry blossom season varies from region to region each year. Luckily, the Japanese Meteorological Corporation(日本气象厅) has done all the work. Each year it posts forecasts of when the blooming will begin in each region. 【3】They also depends heavily on temperature patterns.
【4】 There are a number of celebrations, so you’re likely to find a hanami party wherever you go. What makes up a hanami party, besides sakura viewing, is eating and drinking. Groups of people will set up camp in a park and have a picnic under the trees. Some bring home-cooked meals, some make food on the go and others buy pre-prepared food. 【5】

27、Gretchen Altman is smiling, leaning back casually, a cup of coffee in hand — Hills Bros. Coffee, to be precise. It looks like a casual shot, but if you hit like, leave a comment, and tag a friend, you can get three different cups of coffee, for free.
Altman is part of a growing trend of "micro-influencers". She has a small following — around 6,000 on Instagram(社交平台). Her going rate is $300 to $800 to promote something. She does some posts in exchange for free goods, as long as it’s stuff she believes in.
As a micro-influencer she has a much closer relationship with her followers than a big social media star. "I’m just living a normal life and people relate to that," she says. "They just feel like I’m a friend of theirs."
But it worries consumer rights groups. Several recent studies have found that young audiences are largely unable to understand when something is sponsored content.
In some cases, it’s clear. When a big star takes to a social media to advertise Coca-Cola, for example, the assumption is that he or she’s probably getting paid to do so. And the posts are clearly labeled as ads, with the caption "advertisement" or "sponsored content".
But what happens when an everyday person with just a couple thousand followers takes to social media to extol(颂扬) the virtues of a product? The motivations are not so clear cut. The problem with these social media posts is that you don’t know whether it’s an ad or not.
Altman is diligent about using those hashtags(标签). She loves what she does and sees it as a business, but she doesn’t necessarily want to be a social media celebrity.
"With social media being so integrated into our everyday lives, we have this unique opportunity that I don’t think anyone has ever had before where we can each be our own brand," Altman says.
【1】What does a micro-influencer do according to the passage?
A．Give enough likes.
B．Post to promote sales.
C．Recommend some comments.
D．Design advertisements.
【2】What makes consumer rights groups feel worried?
A．Sponsored ads content.
B．Ads with caption on posts.
C．The unclear motivations of the posts.
D．The increasingly growing number of audiences.
【3】How does Gretchen Altman feel about being a micro-influencer?
A．Annoyed.
B．Delighted.
C．Ambitious.
D．Depressed.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title?
A．Instagram Advertising: Do You Know It, When You See It
B．To be a Micro-influencer or to be a Big Star
C．We Can Each Be Our Own Top Brand
D．Hills Bros. Coffee, Your Coffee
28、Sign language, the primary form of communication of the deaf community, has been in use for hundreds of years. You're probably most familiar with American Sign Language, but sign language is used all over the world and has nearly 150 variations. Sign language interpreters can be seen everywhere from classrooms and graduation ceremonies to major sporting events.
When you think of sign language, you most likely imagine signers using their hands to form words and letters. However, hands are only one of the many different body language techniques that signers use to get their meaning across. In fact, much of the grammatical structure of sign language is not indicated by the signer's hands.
While the hands are responsible for forming the words themselves, markers called "non-manual elements" control much of the languages' grammatical structure. Non-manual elements (or markers) are body language techniques that don't use the hands. These include head movements, body positioning and facial expressions. Used together with the signs. these elements give sign language a subtle and extremely complicated grammatical structure. Linguist Andrea Lackner from Alpcn-Adria University in Austria did a study that shows just how important these non-manual elements are to sign language users.
The study assessed just how many different things non-manual elements can do. For this study, all participants were deaf users of Austrian Sign Language. They watched a video of someone using sign language, and they had to describe the purpose of each non-manual element. The results were very complicated. For instance, things as subtle as the direction of the signer's gaze can indicate whether or not a statement is hypothetical(假设的). A single head movement can indicate the emotion of a statement, a conditional or if situation, or a signer's feelings toward a hypothetical question. Body language is always important, but in sign language, it can change the entire meaning of a sentence!
【1】What do signers use their hands to do mostly?
A．To know people's words and letters.
B．To understand people's meanings.
C．To form the grammatical structure.
D．To form words and letters.
【2】What do non-manual elements include?
A．Words, sign language and body language.
B．Head movements, body language and signs.
C．Head movements, body positioning and facial expressions.
D．Body positioning, facial expressions and signs.
【3】What does the study show about sign language?
A．The main function of the non-manual elements.
B．The importance of the non-manual elements.
C．The influence of body language on sign language.
D．The influence of sign language on body language.
【4】What may be the best title for the text?
A．Non-manual Elements Counts in Sign Language
B．Ways to Avoid Being Misunderstood
C．Grammatical Elements in Sign Language
D．The Importance of Sign Language
29、Many of us have experienced the following: the day before an exam, we try to squeeze a huge amount of information into our brain. But just as quickly as we acquire it, the knowledge we have gained is gone again. The good news is that we can solve this problem. With expanded time intervals between a person’s learning events, we keep the knowledge for a longer time.
But what happens in the brain during the spacing effect? It is generally thought that during learning, neurons (神经元) are activated and form new connections. In this way, the learned knowledge is stored and can be regained by reactivating the same set of neurons. However, we still know very little about how pauses positively influence this process.
Neurobiologists Annet and Pieter did an experiment, during which mice had to remember the position of a hidden chocolate piece in a maze (迷宫). On three continuous chances, they were allowed to explore the maze and find their reward—including pauses of different lengths. “Mice trained with the longer intervals between learning phases (阶段) were unable to remember the position of the chocolate as quickly,” explains Annet. “But the next day, the longer the pauses, the better was the mice’s memory.”
“If three learning phases follow each other very quickly, we naturally expect the same neurons to be activated,” Pieter says. “After all, it is the same experiment with the same information. But after a long break, we imagine the brain interprets the following learning phase as a new event and processes it with different neurons.”
However, the researchers found the opposite. In fast continuous learning phases, the mice activated mostly different neurons. When taking longer breaks, the same neurons active earlier were used again later. Reactivating the same neurons could allow the brain to strengthen the connections between these cells. With spaced learning, we may reach our goal more slowly, but we benefit from our knowledge for much longer.
【1】How does the author mention the problem in paragraph 1?
A．By introducing a theory.
B．By telling a story.
C．By making an assumption.
D．By presenting a case.
【2】Why did Annet and Pieter do the experiment?
A．To examine the influence of rewards on memory.
B．To explore how brain works during the spacing effect.
C．To confirm neurons’ functions in the learning process.
D．To determine the best intervals between learning phases.
【3】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．The surprising result of the study.
B．The serious limitation of the study.
C．The future goal of the researchers.
D．The major worry of the researchers.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

31、课文内容填空
Middle English is the name 【1】(give) to the English used from around the 12th to the 15th centuries. Many things played a part in the 【2】(develop) of this new type of English. The most important 【3】(贡献) was from the Normans, a 【4】 (French speak) people who【5】 (打败) England and took control of the country in 1066. 【6】, the Norman Conquest did not affect English as much as the Angles and the Saxons’ victory about 600 years earlier, which led to Old English 【7】 (replace) Celtic. Even though the Normans spoke French for the e【8】 250 years they ruled England, French did not replace English 【9】 the first language. On the other hand, the English language did borrow many words from French. This resulted in even more words with similar meanings, such as answer (from Old English) and reply (from Old French). It is interesting to learn 【10】 the words for animals and meat developed.
