26、For years video games have been criticised for making people more antisocial, overweight or depressed. Bui now researchers are finding that video games can actually change us for the better and improve both our body and mind.
Games can help to develop physical skills. Pre-school children who played interactive games have been shown to have improved motor skills, for example they can kick, catch and throw a ball better than children who don’t play video games. A study found that those who played video games were 27 percent faster and made 37 percent fewer errors than those who didn't.
Games also benefit a variety of brain functions, including decision-making. People who play action-based games make decisions 25 percent faster than others, according to one study. It was also found that the best gamers can make choices and act on them up to six times a second, four times faster than most people. In another study by researchers from the University of Rochester in New York, experienced gamers were shown to be able to pay attention to more than six things at once without getting confused, compared with the four that most people can normally keep in mind.
There is also evidence that gaming can help with psychological problems. At the University of Auckland in New Zealand, researchers asked 94 young people diagnosed with depression to play a 3D fantasy game called SPARX and in many cases, the game reduced symptoms of depression more than conventional treatment.
【1】In what way playing video games benefits very young children?
A.Muscle control.
B.Social interaction.
C.Decision-making.
D.The ability to focus.
【2】Which type of video game improves the decision-making speed?

B.Action-based games.
C.3D fantasy games.
D.Violent games.
【3】What is the authors attitude to video games?
A.Indifferent.
B.Objective.
C.Worried.
D.Critical.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.The effects of different types of video games.
B.The negative effects of playing video games.
C.The beneficial effects of playing video games.
D.The effects of games on people's behavior.
27、Scientists say they have developed a system that uses machine learning to predict when and where lightning will strike. Researchers report the system is able to predict lightning strikes up to 30 minutes before they happen within a 30-kilometre radius.
Lightning is a strong burst of electricity in the atmosphere. Since it carries extremely powerful electric charge, it can be destructive and deadly. European researchers have estimated that between 6, 000 and 24, 000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year. For this reason, climate scientists have long sought to develop methods of predicting lightning.
The system tested in the experiments used a combination of data from weather stations and machine learning methods. The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognise weather conditions that were likely to cause lightning.
The model was created with the data collected over a 12-year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas. The data, related to four main surface conditions: air pressure, air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed, was placed into a unique machine learning algorithm (算法) , which compared it to the records of lightning strikes. Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning would happen.
The researchers tested the system several times. They found that the system made predictions that proved correct almost 80 percent of the time. “It can now be used anywhere,” the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology said in a statement.
The researchers plan to keep developing the technology in partnership with a European effort that aims to create a lightning protection programme. The effort is called the European Laser Lightning Rod project. Scientists working on the project are experimenting with the laser technology that could someday control lightning activity, transferring lightning charge from clouds to the ground. They hope that such technology can one day be used as protection against lightning strikes. Possible uses could be at stations, airports or places where crowds of people gather.
【1】Why was the system developed?
A.To show the power of lightning.
B.To meet kids’ curiosity about lightning.
C.To protect people from lightning.
D.To keep track of deaths caused by lightning strikes.
【2】What is special about the system?
A.It adopted a different machine learning algorithm.
B.It used an effective method of collecting data.
C.It was based on a number of samples worldwide.
D.It required the low cost of predicting lightning.
【3】What will the researchers do next with the laser technology?
A.Generate electricity with lightning.
B.Transfer energy from lightning.
C.Monitor lightning activity.
D.Prevent the occurrence of lightning.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A Theory of Employing Lightning
B.A Model of Creating Lightning
C.A System of Controlling Lightning
D.A Method of Forecasting Lightning
28、Homesick is a compound word made up of HOME and SICK.You know what each word means on its own, of course.But think about what the words mean when they are used together.Homesick means SICK FOR HOME.

29、Those days of sucking (吮吸) up the sides of your rapidly melting (融化) ice cream may soon be over. Researchers have discovered a natural protein that could be added to everyone’s favorite summertime snack to keep it solid for longer, according to a press release from the University of Edinburg in Scotland.
Most people know that, at its most basic, ice cream is made of milk and sugar. But it has other ingredients that give it a solid consistency (黏稠度) — a fat (often oil), air bubbles, and ice crystals. The protein that the researchers discovered, called BsIA, coats all three of them to slow down the rate at which the ice melts and the air escapes. In one study of the protein, published earlier this year, the researchers call BsIA a “raincoat” that can act as a film to keep everything inside it for just a little longer. That same quality prevents big pieces of ice crystals from forming, which can happen if you leave ice cream in the fridge for too long.
BsIA is found in bacteria called Bacillus subtilis that is common in soil, and is already present in some foods. So adding the protein to ice cream wouldn’t bring the same sorts of long-term health concerns as would artificial ingredients (人造添加剂). The researchers note that producers could also add BsIA to ice cream to reduce their fat and sugar content.
Though the researchers have published two papers about BsIA and have tested it in the lab, they are staying quiet on the most recent data they collected, as the Washington Post notes. Importantly, the researchers make no mention about how the new ingredient might affect ice cream’s taste or how much we might enjoy eating it. What’s the good of long-lasting ice cream if you don’t even like it? But it might not be too long before you can try it out for yourself; ice cream with BsIA might be available within three to five years.
【1】According to the passage, what is BsIA?
A.A group of ice crystals.

【3】Which is true about BsIA?
A.It exists widely in food.
B.It has the same function as sugar.
C.It can speed up the freezing of ice crystals.
D.It can slow down the melting rate of ice cream.
【4】What is the disadvantage of artificial ingredients?

B.They are more costly than BsIA.
C.They may do harm to people’s health.
D.They can’t be mass-produced like BsIA.
【5】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

31、 (一) Not that Charlie’s own life was easy! He was born in a poor family 【1】 1889. His parents were both music hall 【2】 (perform). You may find 【3】 astonishing that Charlie 【4】 (teach) to sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk. Such training was common in acting families at this time, especially 【5】 the family income was often uncertain. 【6】 (luck), his father died, 【7】 (leave) the family even 【8】 (bad) off, so Charlie spent his childhood looking 【9】 his mother and his brother. By his teens, Charlie had, through his humour, become one of the 【10】 (popular) child actors in England. He could mime and act the fool doing ordinary everyday tasks. No one was ever bored watching him – his subtle acting made everything entertaining.
(二) As I get to know more about international friends, I learn more about this 【11】 (culture) “body language”. Not all cultures greet each other the same way, 【12】 are they comfortable in the same way with touching or distance 【13】 people. In the same way that people communicate with spoken language, they also express their feelings using 【14】 (speak) “language” through physical distance, actions or posture. English people, for example, do not usually stand very close to 【15】 or touch strangers as soon as they meet. However, people from places 【16】 Spain, Italy or South American countries approach others 【17】 (close) and are more likely to touch them. Most people around the world now greet each other 【18】 shaking hands, 【19】 some cultures use other greetings as well, such as the Japanese, 【20】 prefer to bow.
