26、The words “England” and “English” are perhaps the two most misused words in the English language. The British themselves often say England and English when they really mean Britain and British.
What’s the difference, you may ask. To understand the question we have to know something about the history of the country and its people.
We all know that Britain is an island country separated from the European continent by the English Channel. Actually there are two main islands. The larger one is called Britain, or Great Britain, and the smaller one is called Ireland, and these two, together with many small islands make up what is called the British Isles.
The British Isles is a geographical term. It is not the name of any country. At present it is made up of two countries, the larger of which is the one we very often inaccurately call England. The full official name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, but people call it Britain or Great Britain for that. It consists of England, Scotland, Wales and a small part of Ireland-the northeastern part.
People still tend to call Britain England not only because England is the largest in area and the most populous but mostly because England is the strongest and also the most influential country in every respect before it absorbed the other three countries(The whole of Ireland was a part of the United Kingdom at one time). Call it national chauvinism(沙文主义) if you like, but people in England call Britain England out of habit rather than conscious sense of superiority, though it annoys the Welsh and especially the Scots who are proud of their separate national tradition.
【1】The British Isles is made up of_______.
A.one country
B.two countries
C.two and a half countries
D.three countries
【2】The full official name of Britain is_______.
A.Great Britain
B.England
C.United Kingdom
D.the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
【3】People call Britain England because of all of the following EXCEPT_______.
A.England is the largest in area and has the largest population.
B.people in England do so out of habit.
C.England is the nearest to the European continent.
D.England is the strongest and also the most influential in every respect.
【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.The formation of the UK.
B.The chauvinism of the English.
C.The location of the British Isles.
D.The difference between “English” and “British”.
27、What Ls the best way to catch someone who is telling a lie?
For a long time, the traditional method of catching liars was to watch their body language, Many people - from parents to police officers depend on this method, But does a person’s body tell us the truth?
According to a new study, it is not the case. Researchers in the UK recently found that talking seems to be the best way to smoke out a liar. Their study look place at an airport.
The researchers asked volunteers to pretend they were real passengers and then lie to airport security officers. Some of the officers used conversation methods to question them, while other officers depend on their body language. The officers using the talking method were 20 times more likely to catch the liars.
Like many methods, this talking technique has a name. It is called. Cant rolled Cognitive Engagement or CCE for short. Here are four ways of catching a liar.
① Use open-ended questions.
These are the opposite of “Yes” and “No” questions. Open-ended questions force the person to continue the story of their lies until they are caught in their own web of lies.
② Surprise them.
Ask questions they may not think you are going to ask. Ask questions that are surprising or off-topic. This will make it harder for them to keep lying.
③ Look for small details that do not make sense.
Ask them details in their stories and look for facts that seem to disagree with each other. But do not let them know you know. Just let them dig themselves deeper into a hole.
④ Watch for changes in confidence and speaking styles.
Liars will often change their speaking styles when they are questioned. For example, when they feel in control they may be very talkative. But if they feel they are losing control, they may not talk much at all.
【1】What is the best title of this passage?
A. How to Catch a Liar B. Airport Security Improved

【2】Which of the following methods is most likely to help you catch a liar?
A. Ask the person if he is telling the truth.

C. Focus on the person’s body language.
D. Notice changes in the person’s confidence.
【3】Why should you ask open-ended questions in order to catch a liar?
A. Because they are easy to answer.
B. Because they are harder to lie about.
C. Because they are off the topic.
D. Because they change your talking style.
【4】Who does the word “them” refer to in the fourth paragraph?
A. Security officers.
B. Real passengers.
C. Study volunteers.
D. English researchers.
【5】Which of the following is NOT true about the CCE method?

28、 Are you getting enough protein(蛋白质)? The question provides its own answer: If you are worrying about the amount of protein in your diet, then you are almost certainly eating more than enough.
You merely need to visit a western supermarket today to see that many people regard protein as some kind of excellent medicine — one food companies are profitably adding to anything they can. “When the Box says ‘Protein’, Shoppers say ‘I’ll take it’” was the headline of a 2013 article in The Wall Street Journal.
The intensity of our protein obsession can only be understood as part of a wider series of diet battles that go back half a century. If we now thirst for protein as if it were water, it may be because the other two macronutrients — fats and carbohydrates — have each in turn been made to seem poisonous (有毒的) in the public mind.
In the current nutrition wars, protein has emerged as the last macronutrient left standing. David L. Katz, an American doctor and public health scholar who is the director of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center said, “First they told us to cut fat. But instead of whole grains and lentils, we ate low-fat junk food.” Then food marketers heard the message about cutting carbohydrates and sold us protein-enriched junk foods instead.
For decades now, there has been a tendency to think about what we eat and drink in terms of nutrients, rather than read whole ingredients in all their complexity. A combination of diet fads and clever marketing has got us here. It doesn’t matter whether we fixate on “low fat” or “low carbohydrates” or “high protein” — we are making the same old mistakes about nutrition in a new form.
【1】How does the author begin the article?
A.By raising a question.
B.By giving an assumption.
C.By describing a phenomenon.
D.By illustrating a typical case.
【2】How many kinds of macronutrients does food provide us with according to paragraph 3?
A.Two B.Three
C.Four D.Five
【3】What is the author’s attitude towards protein according to the text?
A.Cold. B.Crazy.
C.Sensible. D.Critical.
29、Smart phones are greatly changing the way we walk down the street. Office workers and young people are walking like the old as they check emails and messages.
Scientists have found mobile phones make us walk more slowly, with modest steps, to avoid falling over. The leader of the study said the walk is just like someone in their eighties. Researchers found people writing a text message walk more than twice as slowly as those without a phone, finding it harder to stay in a straight line.
The scientists examined 252 people walking while reading a text message, writing one, speaking on their phones or without their phones at all. Writing a text is the hardest activity, causing people to look down at their phone 46 percent more, and 45 percent longer, than when reading a message. This led people to walk 118 per cent more slowly than when they were without their phones. People walked almost a third more slowly while reading a text and 19 per cent while talking on the phone.
Smart phones were found to stop people from walking in a straight line, putting them at greater risk of running into other people, cars or street lamps. This increased the need to slow down and take more careful steps.
John Timmis said the idea for this study came from following someone walking down the street in the afternoon, who was walking as if he had had several drinks. I thought it was a bit early for that, then walked up alongside him and saw that he was on his phone. Simply being on the phone changes the way people walk.
【1】What does the underlined word “modest” mean in the second paragraph?

【2】Based on the text, who walk the most slowly?

B.Those writing a text message.

D.Those speaking on their phones.
【3】What made people with phones take more careful steps?
A.The need to walk straight.
B.The desire to use their phones.
C.The chance of possible accidents.
D.The traffic jams during rush hours.
【4】What made John Timmis decide to do the research?
A.Seeing office workers walking like the elderly.
B.Seeing people walking in the street hurriedly.
C.Watching young people who were walking normally.
D.watching a person who was walking in the street in a strange way .
