26、A Schengen visa is a short-stay visa awarded to persons wishing to travel to one or many of the countries that make of the 26 European country Schengen Area. It grants (授予) each holder entry to all the countries in the area on a single visa. Several new Schengen visa application rules came into force in all countries on February 2, 2020. Check out some of the major changes:
Increased visa fees
The Schengen visa fee has increased from 60 euros to 80 for adults, while children aged between 6 and 12 now need to pay 40 euros instead of 35.
The rise in fees is to increase staff numbers, ensure stronger security screenings, and upgrade IT equipment and software, according to the European Commission.
Electronic application form
The application process has been greatly simplified. Schengen member states now accept electronic applications, and the application form can be signed and submitted electronically.
Longer application submission periods
Schengen visa applicants used to apply as early as three months ahead of their trip. Today applications can be submitted up to six months in advance.
Benefits for frequent travelers
Those who have previously visited the Schengen Area and have a positive visa history will be granted the opportunity to get a multiple-entry visa valid for up to five years. That is, people who have lawfully used their previous visas, have a good economic standing in their home countries, and intend to leave the area before their Schengen visa expires (过期) will now have the chance to get a visa for up to five years with multiple entries.

27、 E-cigarettes lead to as many lung diseases as tobacco products, a new study has found. The report from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill compared saliva(唾液) samples from tobacco smokers, e-cigarette smokers and nonsmokers. Researchers found that e-cigarette smokers were likely to develop dangerous proteins associated with lung diseases. The study adds to a growing body of evidence proving that e-cigarettes might not be the perfect alternative smokers addicted to tobacco are looking for.
Last year a Surgeon General’s report claimed that the use of e-cigarettes among a certain group of people jumped 900 percent from 2011to 2015 and more studies were carried out to research their side effects. That same year, the FDA put e-cigarettes in the tobacco products the administration monitors.
Previous research from UCLA has proven that e-cigarettes can cause lifelong damage to one’s heart, and that one puff (吸一口烟) of an e-cigarette is all it takes to increase one’s risk of having a heart attack. For the new study UNC researchers observed 15 e-cigarette users, 14 cigarette smokers and 15 nonsmokers. The study revealed that e-cigarette smokers have raised levels of NET-related proteins in their airways, the increased levels of which can lead to lung illnesses, making it difficult for patients to breathe.
Study author Dr Mehmet Keismer said, “There is confusion about whether e-cigarettes are ‘safer’ than cigarettes because the potential adverse effects of e-cigarettes are only beginning to be studied. Our results suggest that e-cigarettes might be just as bad as cigarettes. ” Dr Keismer also stressed that e-cigarettes come with their own harmful risks along with those linked to tobacco, which challenges the concept that switching from cigarettes to e-cigarettes is a healthier alternative.
A citizen named Dyclna said, “The e-cigarettes probably make you cough less, but nobody gives a warning about your lungs. For producers, it’s just a money thing — it’s just about getting profits from it. The problem is that our government just stands there with its hands behind the back. ”
【1】Why did the FDA list e-cigarettes into monitored products?
A.It might have realized the harm of them. B.It wanted to improve their quality.
C.It aimed to reduce their illegal sales. D.It might be warned by the government.
【2】What does Dyclna mainly want to express?
A.E-cigarettes are safer than regular ones.
B.E-cigarettes can only benefit few people.
C.Producers make a high profit from e-cigarettes.
D.Governments are to blame for e-cigarettes’ consumption.
【3】What is the best title for the text?
A.E-cigarettes: A new way of smoking.
B.E-cigarettes: A better way than tobacco?
C.E-cigarettes: The harmful proteins it produces.
D.E-cigarettes: The urgent need of government control.
28、 Last week, my wife and I took possession of this beauty，3-story country house in Pelham, New York. We haven't moved yet： the place is badly in need of renovation(翻新），which will happen a lot more quickly if our stuff isn't in the way. We still own our NYC co-op，and it won't close until July or August. We intend to get every last day of city living that we can.
But now seems as good a time as any to put the blog on hold—a step I've been considering for a while. I've posted 1,010 restaurant reviews in just over 11 years，which averages out to nearly two reviews per week，for roughly a decade. That’s an awfully long time. In recent months, it has felt more like a burden, and less of the joy it originally was.
Of course, that burden came entirely from myself: this blog has never accepted advertising. No one's livelihood—and certainly not mine—depended on its existence. Yet， having created this tiny space in my little corner of the Internet，with a very small but rather appreciative (and appreciated) amount of loyal readers，for a long time I fell I have to keep it going.
But my free time over the next several months will be increasingly taken up with a complex renovation, moving house，getting to know a new neighborhood, and a quite different lifestyle than I've been accustomed to. Something needs to be edited out? to make room for all that，and the blog is it.
If our move to the suburbs provides a convenient excuse, I might have reached the same decision earlier before that ： the sense that my food blogging had fallen into stereotypes (陈词烂调）was in my mind even before we started house-hunting, although it certainly became more clear after that. I think I'm going to enjoy dining out for its own sake，as it used to be: no more photos，no more “writing the review” in my head as I eat.
One thing that hasn’t changed is the pleasure of dining out, which I love as much as ever. My wife and I intend to keep up our weekly Manhattan “date nights”. I still work in the city， and Pelham isn't all that far away—one of the reasons we chose it.
Will the blog return after we’re settled in our new home? Surely not with the frequency it has been，and perhaps not at all. As I write this, I’m feeling like I won’t miss it.
【1】What’s NOT the reason for the author to put his blog on hold?
A. He is moving to the countryside and doesn’t have enough time.
B. It has brought him more burden than joy.
C. This blog hasn’t received any advertising profit, which made him disappointed.
D. Food blogging lacks creativity for him and he wants to enjoy the pure joy of dining out.
【2】Where did the author’s burden of running the blog come from?
A. He depended on the blog to make a living.
B. He felt it his responsibility not to let his loyal readers down.
C. His free time has been increasingly occupied with other stuff.
D. He found it hard to adapt to a different lifestyle.
【3】What can we infer from this passage?
A. The author will soon continue his blog after he settles in his new home.
B. The author will not continue his blog after he settles in his new home.
C. The author hasn’t decided whether to continue his blog even after he settles in his new home.
D. The author has decided to decrease the frequency of posting the blog after he settles in his new home.
【4】Where can you most probably find this passage?
A. A personal blog. B. A fashion magazine.
C. A scientific report. D. A travel brochure.
29、 I watch from the wooden bench in my backyard as the water from the pipe quietly flows out onto the tomato plants. I watch the plants and rest easy, knowing the pipe is taking care of the plants. The drops soon seem to become rivers on the ground.
I see these red-brown ants, crawling(爬行) along around their home. What will happen when the water reaches the ants? Smelling the danger, these poor tiny creatures all run away from the water and rush back to their home. They spend their whole lives working together to create and make better things, but now they are facing the end of it all. I think this is just a reflection of the world. I keep watching as the water first attacks and then surrounds two ants. They struggle to stay floating as the water closes in on them, getting deeper and deeper. I try to get these two to come on my finger, but they refuse to let me save them. The water soon flows over them, as I remain helpless. Only then do they decide to climb onto my dirt-covered finger. Not until facing the moment of death would they trust one like me.
I check to see if they are alive, and both can move fine. Then I go to save other ants. However, the water washes everything away. How much I wish I could turn off this machine of death, but I cannot. I must complete my job.
It knocks me how much these little lives mean to me. When I was a small child, I would make a sport of killing them. Now, I can't hurt an insect, always thinking about what it would be like to be so small.
【1】What is the ants' first reaction as the water approaches them?
A. They attempt to stop it.
B. They seek help at once.
C. They ignore it and continue to work.
D. They try to avoid the danger caused by it.
【2】What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2?
A. Behind bad luck comes good luck.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. God helps those who help themselves.
D. Life is likely to be affected by setbacks.
【3】How does the author help save the two ants?
A. He turns off the water pipe. B. He helps them float on the water.
C. He lets them climb onto his finger. D. He changes the direction of the water.
【4】What's the author's attitude towards those ants now?
A. Sympathetic. B. Indifferent.
C. Favorable. D. Cruel.

“I’m so sorry,” I said.

Sharon’s forgiveness______________ Hannah and me to get back in the car together that summer, to stay friends throughout high school and college and to watch our children playing together. The scars(疤痕) are so faded that no one else would__________ , but in the sunlight I can still see it just below her hairline----which, for me, is a sign of grace.

34、Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
The Internet E-commerce and globalization are making a new economic age possible. In the future, capitalist markets will largely be replaced by a new kind of economic system based on 【1】 relationships, contractual arrangements and access rights.
Has the quality of our lives at work, at home and in our communities increased in direct proportion to all the new Internet and business-to-business Internet services being introduced into our lives? I have asked this question of hundreds of CEOs and corporate executives in Europe and the United States. Surprisingly, virtually everyone has said, “No, quiet 【2】.” They say they are working longer hours, feel more stressed, are more impatient, and are even less civil in their dealings with colleagues and friends-not to mention strangers. And what’s more revealing, they place much of the blame on the very same technologies they are so 【3】 supporting.
The technological leader promised us that access would make life more convenient. Instead, the very technological wonders that were supposed to 【4】 us have begun to enslave us in a web of connections from which there seems to be no easy 【5】.
If an earlier generation was preoccupied with the quest to enclose a vast 【6】 land, the .com generation, it seems, is more caught up in the colonization of time. Every spare moment of our time is being filled with some form of commercial connection, making time itself the 【7】 of all resources.
And while we have created every kind of labor-and time-saving device to service our needs, we are beginning to feel like we have less time available to us than any other humans in history. Maybe we need to ask what kinds of connections really 【8】 in the e-economy age. If this new technology 【9】 is only about super efficiency, then we risk losing something even precious than time-our sense of what it means to be a(n) 【10】 human being.

At the time they were created, the Impressionist paintings were【1】, but today they are accepted as the beginning of【2】we call “modern art’. This is because the Impressionists 【3】artists to look at their environment in new ways. There are scores of modern art styles, but 【4】the Impressionists, many of these painting styles might not exist. On the one hand, some modern art is abstract; that is, the painter doesn’t 【5】to paint objects as we see them with our eyes, 【6】instead concentrates on certain qualities of the object, 【7】color, line and shape to represent them. On the【8】hand, some paintings of modern art are so 【9】 that they look photographs. These styles are so different. Who can【10】what painting styles there will be in the future?

Smell the flowers before you go to sleep and you may just end up with rosy dreams. Have a whiff of rotten(腐烂的)eggs during the night and your dreams may be【1】(pleasant). So says researcher Dr. Boris Stuck, 【2】invited sleeping volunteers to a rose vs. rotten egg test in the University Hospital Mannheim in Germany. The subjects didn’t dream about roses【3】eggs, but rather he found that what they smelt affected the emotions of【4】(they) dreams.
And if you think【5】(smell) have a say in dreams, wait for what TV tells us. A UK study reveals that people exposed【6】black-and-white film and TV in their youth are to have monochromic(单色的)dreams throughout their life more【7】(probable). Eva Murzyn from the University of Dundee tested two age groups— one half 【8】(age) over 55 and【9】other half under 25.
The result? Under 5% of the dreams of the under-25s were in black and white. 【10】(watch)color TV in childhood seems to be the reason why.
37、根据句意填空
In the USA, the Amish-a Christian group-are famous because they drive 【1】 instead of cars, do not use TVs or refrigerators, and do not have personal telephones. Many people assume the Amish must have 【2】 reasons for their many rules, but this is not true. In truth, whenever a new technology is introduced, the Amish meet and discuss its advantages and disadvantages. They then vote on whether they will accept it. The Amish 【3】 cars because they like having 【4】 communities where everyone lives close together. They have no TVs or refrigerators because their homes do not have electricity-they do not think it is necessary and 【5】 dealing with strangers, such as the people who work at the electric company.
