The three policemen narrowed(缩小) down the suspects to four people: Paul Smith, the victim’s husband, their daughter Jenny, their maid Nancy Gordon and their gardener Steven Baker. Inspector Japp questioned them by turns in the study.

Nancy Gordon explained she had prepared a cup of tea for Mrs Smith at 5:00 and had brought it to the sitting room where Mrs Smith was reading a letter. Then she had gone back to the kitchen because she had to do the washing up since the dishwasher didn’t work and she wanted to leave everything in order before the weekend. When she went back to the sitting room to get the tea cup. she discovered Mrs Smith’s body but she didn’t touch anything.

Steven Baker told the police he was working in the greenhouse: because of the awful weather, he couldn’t do anything else. He didn’t see anything because of all the snow that was falling. Besides, he didn’t spend much time in the house.

25、A habit is any action that we have performed so often that it becomes something that we do almost without thinking. Some of them are thought to be bad habits. People spend countless hours and dollars each year trying to get rid of these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow.

First, look at why you do it. In other words, what’s the result of doing this thing? If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? It may make you feel a little better for the moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!

Next, take a look on the other hand. What are you losing because of your habit? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things that you need to learn. When you think that way, you’ll find that it’s not wise to keep your bad habit! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose? I’m sure you will choose to do what you think is more important.

【1】From the first paragraph we know that __________.

A. a habit is a terrible thing that we can never change

B. people take countless hours and dollars to get rid of habits

C. none of the people who try to break bad habits are successful

D. though it is difficult, we can still do something about our bad habits

【2】The underlined sentence “there is no shortcut to achieve it” means that ________.

A. it is not easy to get rid of bad habits

B. there is a long way and a short way

C. something dangerous may happen

D. we must cut it in a short time.

【3】The main purpose of this passage is to __________.

A. introduce and describe   B. complain（埋怨）and disagree

26、Historically, most cars have run on gasoline (汽油), but that may change in the future: cars can also run on other liquid fuels (液体燃料) and electricity.

Gasoline is from oil. The energy in gasoline comes from hydrocarbons (碳氢化合物). Gasoline provides great power for cars. However, it causes environmental problems, like air pollution and temperature rise. So gasoline can’t be the best fuel.

Another choice is electricity. Electricity cars can be as efficient as cars using gasoline, and they produce less pollution. But electric cars themselves are more expensive. Good news is that the cost has been lower and there are more and more places for the cars to get electricity ever since 2010.

The other choices are other liquid fuels. Many of these can be stored in the same places as gasoline, and used in the same cars. They can also be friendly to the environment.

One way to make such fuels is to get CO2 from the air and put it in water. Through chemical reaction, hydrocarbons can be created. However, these fuels take up more space.

Another way is to make such fuels from plants which take in carbon from the air. These fuels are greener in use. But not all of them can be as efficient as gasoline.

For a fuel to be the best, people have to be able to afford it. Unluckily, almost every green technology is more expensive than that of using gasoline. Governments and car producers are doing everything they can to cut down the costs. In the end, the best fuel will be both affordable for car users and green for our planet.

【1】Gasoline provides cars with ________.

A．great power

B．fresh air

C．clean water

D．enough space

【2】What does the underlined word “efficient” mean?

A．环保的

B．节能的

C．昂贵的

D．效能好的

【3】According to Paragraph 3, we can infer that electric cars ________.

A．produce less pollution

B．will become more and more expensive

C．will become more popular

D．are more efficient than those using gasoline

【4】The structure of the passage may be ________.

A．

B．

C．

D．

【5】What would be the best title for the passage?

A．How Do We Save Our Planet?

B．What Are the Fuels’ Difference?

C．What Is the Best Fuel for Cars?

D．How Do We Make Fuels for Cars?

28、阅读短文，根据短文内容及首字母提示，在空白处填入一个适当的单词。

There is a famous expression in English, “Stop the world, I want to get off!” This expression m【1】 a feeling of fear or stress, which makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing, try to relax, and become calm about your work or personal life. It is one of the most common causes of health problems in m【2】 life. Too much stress leads to physical, emotional, and mental (精神的) health problems.

There are many physical effects of stress which can affect (影响) the heart. It can cause high blood pressure. Stress can l【3】 to asthma (哮喘), which can cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide (CO2). Stress can affect the stomach. It can cause stomachaches. These are only a few e【4】 of illnesses resulting from stress.

Emotions are also easily i【5】 by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They may feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they often overreact to little problems. For example, a kind mother under a lot of stress at work may s【6】 at a child for dropping a glass of juice.

Suffering from stress for a long time can lead to s【7】 mental illnesses. Depression (抑郁), a very strong feeling of s【8】 and hopelessness, can be the result of stress. Eating disorders are sometimes c【9】 by stress and are often made worse by stress. If stress is allowed to go on, one’s mental health will be in danger.

It is clear t【10】 stress is a serious problem. It attacks the body. So reduce stress — stop the world and rest for a while.
