26、   A study shows that nearly ninety percent of teens report that they have tried alcohol.That’s an increase of 23 percent in just four years!

Each year,1.1 billion cans of beer are drunk by students aged 15-19 years old.Beer is the most common alcoholic drink among teens—81 percent of the drinkers had tried it.Beer is followed by wine with 63 percent,hard liquor(烈酒) with 53 percent and wine coolers with 35 percent.

When the young people are asked why they drank,the most common answer is that drinking is “something to do”.If a teen’s parents drink alcohol,the teenager is more likely to start drinking at an early age.Also,teens see all of their friends drinking alcohol so they think it is the must-to-do thing.Peer pressure is probably the hardest thing teens have to deal with.What’s more,teens often drink alcohol because it makes them feel older and cooler.

Researchers asked 56,000 students about their drinking habits and grades,to see how drinking might affect their grades in school.The results seem to be clear.Students who got a C level or lower tend to use three times as much alcohol as those who got B’s or A’s.

Alcohol use can be deadly.About 8,100 young people are killed per year in alcohol-related accidents.Eight young people die per day as a result of a drunk-driving accident.Between 50 and 65 percent of all teen suicides(自杀) occur after the young people drink.

So you see,drinking alcohol doesn’t always end up with a good time.The next time you try to push someone to drink or someone tries to push you to drink,please remember this.One drink can set the habit for life.Why not throw it away?

【1】Which of the following reasons for teens’ drinking alcohol is not mentioned?

A．They think it is cool to drink alcohol.

B．Their parents set a bad example to them.

C．Alcohol can make them happier.

D．Peer pressure plays an important role.

【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 4?

A．Drinking alcohol makes students stupid.

B．Good students never try alcohol.

C．Drinking habits have something to do with IQ.

D．Students with poor grades tend to use more alcohol.

【3】What is the purpose of the passage?

A．To show the bad effect of drinking alcohol.

B．To show how many teenagers drink alcohol.

C．To tell teenagers not to try alcohol.

D．To tell the reasons why teenagers drink alcohol.

27、There’s good news and bad news for flower fans this spring in Washington state.

Good news: The Tulip (郁金香) Festival in Skagit County plans to return for 2021 with new rules, and with reserved tickets available for Tulip Town.

Attendance will be limited at Tulip Town this year, but it is planning to open earlier and stay open later. As in any public place statewide, face coverings are required. As of March 7, the tulips were not yet blossoming (开花) in Skagit County. When they start to blossom each year depends on the weather in March, but mid-April is historically the peak for tulip blossoms in the gardens and fields.

Bad news: The University of Washington in Seattle is asking people to view the cherry blossoms from home again this year in order to reduce crowding. UW Video has a live webcam overlooking the campus, and there’s a virtual tour with photos from campus that will be updated throughout the blossom season.

There are dozens of different varieties of blossoming cherry and plum trees in the Seattle area, with blossoms visible from early February until May for some.

【1】When is the best time to enjoy tulips?

A．In February.

B．In March.

C．In April.

D．In May.

【2】Where are people advised to admire cherry blossoms this year?

A．The Port of Seattle.

C．UW campus.

28、One of the most efficient ways to achieve peace and speed up economies (经济) is to provide girls with better education and more rights. Today, girls’ lack of access (进入) to basic education is getting more serious when it comes to the use of digital (数码的) technology, leaving them far behind boys. And because the world is even more digital, those who lack basic internet skills will find it increasingly more difficult to take part in the formal economy, to get a quality education, and to have their voices heard.

Since 2013 the global gender gap (性别差异) in male and female access to the Internet has actually increased from 11 to 12 percent. Worse yet, women and girls living in the poorest countries are 31 percent less likely than men and boys to have access to the Internet. In developing countries, some 200 million fewer women than men own a mobile phone, the most common means of internet access there. This digital divide is increasing, and should it continue at the present pace, it is projected that over 75 percent of women and girls will lack internet access and digital skills.

There are many causes of the digital gender gap. They include girls’ exclusion (排斥) from basic education, from specific technology education and high costs of mobile phones and internet access.

Indeed, one of the so-called reasons why girls may be discouraged from learning how to access and use digital technology is also a groundless one: that girls are simply not good at using technology.

Without the help of the government, most of the benefits of technological change will be enjoyed only by men, exacerbating gender inequality.

【1】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A. Women suffer a lot from the poor economy.

B. Digital technology is greatly beneficial to men.

C. The digital gender gap needs to be closed.

D. Girls are lacking in basic education.

【2】How is Paragraph 2 organized?

A. By giving reasons.   B. By giving numbers.

C. By following time order.   D. By giving examples.

【3】What is the writer’s attitude to the idea that girls are simply not good at using technology?

A. Positive.   B. Negative.

C. Acceptable.   D. Unconcerned.

【4】What does the underlined word “exacerbating” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A. worsening   B. causing

C. reducing   D. improving

29、Top experts in the field of geology can be found working at the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Their web page on earthquake prediction starts: “Neither the USGS nor any other scientific institution has ever predicted a major earthquake. We do not know how to do so, nor do we expect to know how to do so, anytime in the foreseeable future.” If we can predict hurricanes, floods and tornadoes to different degrees of reliability, why can’t we predict when the next big earthquake will likely happen? What else can scientists do if they are so difficult to predict?

An effective earthquake prediction includes four components: the date, time, location, and the magnitude. To determine how a possible early warning sign translates into these factors requires scientists to either look for patterns in previous earthquakes or create complicated mathematical models of the movement of known tectonic plates (地壳结构版块).

For the first case, scientists have attempted to link multiple natural factors that appeared before earthquakes in the past with the earthquake itself. These factors include rising levels of ground water, changes in electromagnetic activity, and even unusual animal behaviors.

However, even if scientists can draw connections between these changes in nature and earthquakes, very little evidence has been collected to suggest that one event must happen alongside another. Another difficulty is that small earthquakes and large ones start exactly the same way. Thus, there is no simple solution to identifying whether an early warning sign predicts a major, destructive quake or a tiny tremble. Without enough evidence, scientists may instead attempt to model specific fault lines (断层线). However, this is incredibly challenging, given the difficulty in studying how rocks and minerals behave at the increased temperatures and pressures toward the Earth’s core. Even though geologists have drilled deep holes to study the conditions, such efforts are expensive and not at all easy to accomplish.

【1】According to the passage, which may help predict earthquakes?

A．River water.

B．Close observations.

C．Movement of any plate.

D．Strange activities of dogs.

【2】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．Studying rocks is full of challenge.

B．Natural changes don’t affect each other.

C．Scientific models are expensive to build.

D．Early warning signs don’t imply earthquakes’ strength.

【3】How does the passage develop?

A．By making contrast.

B．By analyzing reasons.

C．By describing the process.

D．By giving specific examples.

【4】What is the purpose of the passage?

A．To inform readers of earthquake prediction limitations.

B．To argue against a popular scientific belief.

C．To explore how to forecast earthquakes.

D．To compare models of earthquake study.
