26、 The oldest and most common source of renewable energy known to man, biomass（生物质） is one of the most important forms energy production in the United States and elsewhere. Since such a wide variety of biomass materials is everywhere — from trees and grasses to agricultural and city — life wastes —biomass promises to play a continuing role in providing power and heat for millions of people around the world.
According to the Union of Concerned Scientists(UCS), biomass is a kind of renewable energy source that produces no carbon dioxide(二氧化碳), because the energy it contains comes from the sun. When plant matter is burned, it gives off the sun’s energy. In this way, biomass serves as a sort of natural battery(电池) for storing the sun’s energy. As long as biomass is produced continuously —with only as much grown as is used— the “battery” lasts forever.
According to the Energy Information Administration, biomass has been one of the leading renewable energy sources in the United States for several years running through 2007, making up between 0.5 and 0.9 percent of the nation’s total electricity supply. In 2008-although the numbers aren’t all in yet-wind power probably took over first place because of the rapid development of wind farms across the country.
Producing power from biomass helps reduce some 11 million tons of carbon dioxide each year. Some homeowners also try to make their own heat by using biomass materials. Such practice may save homeowner’s money, but it also produces a lot of pollution. So, the best way is to encourage power plants to use it.
【1】We learn from the text that in 2008 ______.
A.Wind power would be the leader of renewable energy.
B.there was a rapid growth of electricity production
C.biomass might become the main energy source
D.0.5~0.9 of power supply came from biomass
【2】Why does the author encourage power plants to use biomass?
A.To prevent the waste of energy.
B.To increase production safety.
C.To reduce pollution.
D.To save money.
【3】Where does the text probably come from?
A.A research plan. B.A science magazine
C.A book review. D.A business report.
27、I wandered into an exhibition about Janusz Korczak in Rome, and was overcome by the heroism of this ordinary man. I say ordinary—he was actually quite well-known as children’s author and an educator, but nothing can have prepared him for the decisions he had to take.
Trained as a medical doctor, Korczak became a children’s author and teacher. He ran two orphanages (孤儿院) in Warsaw—one for Jewish children, the other for Catholics. As a liberal and progressive thinker, he set up a children’s “republic” in the Jewish orphanage, with its own parliament, court and newspaper. He suffered deprivation (损失) and danger for the sake of the children in his care, and ultimately chose to die with them, despite being given the opportunity to save himself. After the Germans created the Warsaw Ghetto in 1940, Korczak’s Jewish orphanage was forced to move into it. He went with the children, though he’d been offered shelter elsewhere. He stayed with them until August 1942, when he was sent to Treblinka with some 200 children and staff. They were never heard of again; it’s assumed that they all died in the gas chambers (毒气室).
The moment he led the children to the train to Treblinka, described movingly by eyewitnesses, his face lit up. The composer Wladyslaw Szpilman recalled that Korczak told the orphans to be glad, because they were going to the countryside and would be free of the city where they had suffered a lot. He wanted to spare them the terror of death.
Korczak should be remembered alongside people such as Sir Nicholas Winton, Raoul Wallenberg and Oskar Schindler. They managed to save lives, but Korczak sacrificed his, refusing to abandon his children on their final journey. I could never imagine being put to the same test. But I love children, as he must have done.
【1】What did Korczak do for children?
A．Give lectures.
B．Write liberal articles.
C．Set up a “republic” for children.
D．Offer medical care.
【2】What can be inferred in Paragraph 2?
A．Korczak was once in heavy debt.
B．The Germans created shelters for children.
C．The Warsaw Ghetto was unknown until 1942.
D．Korczak adopted Jewish and Catholic children.
【3】How did Korczak spare the kids’ fright?
A．By accompanying them to Treblinka.
B．By freeing them from Germany.
C．By being honored as a hero.
D．By sacrificing his life.
【4】What kind of person is Korczak?
A．Wise and determined.
B．Devoted and selfless.
C．Caring and ambitious.
D．Productive and passionate.
28、Are You a Morning Person?
Mornings are not for everyone. Knowing that our own bodies may be wired to prefer a certain time of day is certainly a relief. But many of us still have to wake up and function during those first daylight hours. So what can you do?
We tapped a variety of experts – from sleep experts to nutritionists to life organizational pros—to share their tricks on how to make morning less stressful and more pleasant(for) even the most after-hours of night owls.
1. Night waking
Poor sleep quality can explain why we sometimes wake up from eight hours of snoozing and feel like we only clocked in at four. “It’s normal to have one or two awakenings, but more than that leaves us feeling groggy in the morning because of the fragmented sleep,” [explains Shelby Harris, director of the behavioral sleep medicine program at Montefiore Medical Center.]
2. The Science of snoozing
The snooze button does more harm than good. Nodding off again sends you into a light and fragmented sleep! Multiple snoozes can leave you feeling groggier than just getting out of bed the first time.
Instead, be honest about the time you intend to get up and then enjoy every last minute of shuteye, so you can wake up alert and ready to go.
3. Don’t ease into your workday
It can be tempting to plow through the easy things early on-checking e-mail, scanning the headlines—but it’s wise to tackle the bigger stuff first. “Getting to work on the most important tasks not only ups the chances that they actually get done, but it also leaves you with a burst of accomplishment to take with you the rest of the day,” says Jason Selk, coauthor of Organize Tomorrow Today.
4. Save social media for later
Schedule a social media block later in the afternoon to check in when you’re likely to need a break anyway, and save the morning for the important stuff.
Specialized Term
life organizational pro(n)生活管理达人 someone who is an expert at helping others bring balance and order into their lives
Vocabulary Focus
tap(v) [tæp] to get or make use of something
groggy (adj) [‘gragi] weak and unable to think clearly or walk correctly, usually because of tiredness or illness
shuteye (n) [‘ʃʌtai] sleep
plow through (something) (phr v) to finish reading, eating or dealing with something with difficulty
【1】What’s the purpose of the passage?
A.To inform us about the fact that our bodies are wired to prefer a certain time of day.
B.To relieve us from the guilt of multiple snoozes in the morning.
C.To help us to get the most out of our mornings.
D.To warn us of the harm of not getting out of bed immediately.
【2】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.One or two awakenings ensure us a good night’s sleep.
B.To be an early bird, better forget about the snooze button.
C.Beginning a day with easy things aroused our interest and a sense of accomplishment.
D.It’s important not to block social medium if you want to save your morning.
【3】Where can we find the passage?
A.Health Section B.Travel Brochure
C.Life and Study D.Scientific Journal

Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (盯着他们).
One day, Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes. Zahra’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city. When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start，but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided (碰撞) with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.
