21、A new study says that regular fish consumption has been shown to improve cognition (认知) and help people fall asleep. Fish is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids--a kind of fat that caries numerous health benefits. “Neurons(神经元)need omega-3 fatty acids for proper cell membrane(膜)structure and function,” explains Don Vaughn, MD, a neuroscientist at UCLA, of the importance of a fish-inclusive diet. “It then comes as no surprise that the dietary insufficiency of omega-3 fatty acids leads to poor cognition.”
While previous studies showed a relationship between omega-3 consumption and improved intelligence, none established a link among improved sleep, intelligence, and fish consumption. The new study covered 541 children in China, almost evenly split between boys and girls. The researchers tracked, fish consumption along with the kids’ performance on both verbal(口头的)and non-verbal skill tests such as vocabulary and coding. Parents helped record how well the kids slept. After all the data was collected and analyzed, the researchers found that children who were reported eating fish at least weekly slept sounder and scored 4.8 points higher on their IQ exams than those who were reported eating fish “seldom” or “never”.
Previous studies showed a relationship between omega-3s, the fatty acids in many types of fish, and improved intelligence, as well as omega-3s and better sleep. But the new findings revealed sleep as a possible medium pathway, the potential missing link between fish and intelligence.
“Sleep is essential to brain health and function. The brain strengthens important memories, forgets useless information, and continues practicing skills learned during the day,” says Dr.Vaughn. “Good sleep underlies high performance in memory and problem solving.”
The researchers on the team also noted that poor sleep is often accompanied by antisocial behavior, poor cognition, and a variety of other problems, all of which could be lessened by increasing the amount of fish or omega-3 fatty acids in their diet.
【1】What do we know about omega-3 fatty acids from Paragraph l?
A.Their main source is fish.
B.They lead to poor cognition.
C.They work positively on neurons.
D.Their health benefits remain a mystery.
【2】Compared with the previous ones, the new study first_________.
A.built a link between omega-3s and sleep
B.showed a relationship between omega-3s and health
C.connected omega-3 consumption and improved intelligence
D.combined fish consumption, improved sleep and intelligence together
【3】The author writes Paragraph 4 to show_________.
A.how the brain chooses useful information
B.why sleep is important to our mental health
C.why sleep has a positive effect on intelligence
D.how the brain strengthens important memories
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Omega-3s can help improve sleep quality.
B.Omega-3s are found to be beneficial to health.
C.Consuming fish can benefit sleep and increase IQ.
D.Consuming fish can give us a positive attitude to life.

23、Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving(铺砌)a road can lead to less useable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.
Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages(缺乏). Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱)than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.
Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day!This shows how much we depend on water to live, but there's a lot we can do to lower the number.
You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with, use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks(滴水)in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.
【1】What can we know from the passage?
A.Paving roads has great effect on groundwater.
B.All water shortages are due to human behavior.
C.There is much we can do to reduce family size.
D.The average family in America makes proper use of water.
【2】How can people make sure of enough water supply?
A.To pave less roads.
B.To reduce human activities.
C.To use less water every day.
D.To have a good management of water.
【3】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.To show us how to fix leaks at home.
B.To tell us how to run a dishwasher.
C.To give tips on how to save water at home.
D.To prove what drinking glass is best for us.
【4】What's the main idea of the passage?
A.Why paving roads reduces our water.
B.How much we depend on water to live.
C.Why droughts occur more in dry climates.
D.How human activity affects our water supply.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Tom Satre owned a boat. One day,he was enjoying the weekend with his family. Tom s daughter Anna was looking around as the family was traveling across the water. Then she saw something strange from afar. They eventually got close enough to figure out what it was. At first, they thought that it was a group of birds or may he even some sea lions. Their theories were all wrong! They were able to see ears. As they approached, they realized that it was actually a group of deer struggling to stay afloat!
Everyone on the boat was surprised to find four Sitka deer approaching their way. They stilled the boat and the four deer swam nearer and nearer. They swam right towards the boat—then, they started to circle the boat. They were looking up and looked like they needed help.
They were in Alaska. It should go without saying that the deer had to be taken out of the freezing waters. Tom said that these were the most upset deer he had ever seen in his life. The deer were exhausted and they were clearly struggling to stay afloat. However, Tom and the others were unsure how they could get the deer on board the boat.
As an outdoorsman, Tom was able to tell that the animals were young because their antlers (鹿角)were not fully developed yet. He came up with a plan and attached rope to their necks and everyone on the boat had to pull up the deer so that they can come on board. Those poor deer! Wild deer are normally easily frightened and cautious in the presence of humans. Not these deer, however, as they climbed the boat immediately. Once aboard, the creatures simply passed out from exhaustion. They couldn't stand up on their own... they couldn't shake the water off their coats. The family dicing want to touch them,but it was clear that the deer were happy to be there. They probably would have crawled (爬) on board if they could have.
注意:
1.续写的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The family headed towards the dock(船坞)and the sunlight was keeping the deer warm.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
However, the final deer was shaking an unable to follow the others that had disappeared into the woods.
