26、A new study suggests some of America’s favorite Independence Day fireworks can give out lead and copper (铜), which are used to give fireworks their vivid colors, and also damage human cells and animal lungs.

Led by researchers at NYU, the study showed poisonous levels of lead in the fireworks. Experiments showed that lung exposure to particle emissions (颗粒排放物) from five types of fireworks significantly increased oxidation (氧化), a chemical process in the body that can damage or even kill cells.

The researchers say the new study is believed to be the first to examine the effects of firework exposure in human cells and living animals, and to test for particles of common firework metals thrown into the atmosphere.

“While many are careful to protect themselves from injury from explosions, our results suggest that inhaling firework smoke may cause, longer-term physical damage, a risk that has been largely ignored,” says study senior author Terry Gordon, a professor in the Department of Environmental Medicine.

Gordon and his team also analyzed 14 air quality samples taken at dozens of sites across the US throughout each year. They found that levels of poisonous metals were higher in samples taken on Independence Day and New Year’s Eve celebrations than at any other time of the year. Along with lead, copper and other poisonous metals are commonly found in fireworks. “Our research shows that although we are only exposed to these poisonous substances for a short time each year, they are much more poisonous than the pollutants we breathe every day,” says Gordon.

Gordon cautions (警告) that the current investigation is the first step, only addressing the potential effects of one-time exposure to the firework metals. He says repeated exposure is likely a larger concern. Nevertheless, he is planning to share his findings with local health officials, firework producers, the Environmental Protection Agent, and other regulatory agents to alert them to the potential for harm.

【1】Why do some fireworks harm our health?

A．They are oxidized in the air.

B．They can give out harmful metals.

C．They are exposed to particle emissions.

D．They can melt chemical substances in the body.

【2】What does the underlined word “inhaling” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Letting out.

B．Working out.

C．Taking in.

D．Blowing off.

【3】What can we infer from Gordon’s research findings?

A．Fireworks are the main cause of air pollution.

B．Air quality on New Year’s Eve is above normal.

C．People breathe in poisonous air for a short time daily.

D．Air pollution on Independence Day is worse than usual.

【4】What does Gordon intend to do with fireworks-related persons?

A．Remind them not to set off fireworks.

B．Caution them against producing metals.

C．Alert them to the harm of the experiment.

D．Warn them of the possible dangers of fireworks.

27、   Back in 2011,archaeologists first discovered a lost highway littered with Viking artifacts(古器物)—sleds, horse bones, walking sticks, a 1,700—year—old sweater and heap after heap of horse dung.

But now archaeologists have discovered so much more. They've published new research describing hundreds of items that have been found along Lendbreen pass: shoes, parts of sleds, and bones from packhorses. It would have remained hidden forever had the ice not rapidly begun melting, revealing all that roadside Viking litter.

 The highway winds its way over the Lendbreen ice patch(流冰区) in Norway's Jotunheim Mountains, about 200 miles north of Oslo. "The pass was at its busiest during the Viking Age around 1,000 A.D., a time of high mobility and growing trade across Scandinavia and Europe," study co—author James Barrett said.

According to researchers, the highway was possibly built around the year 300. At the time, heavy snow covered rocks underfoot. Trading posts were built along the nearby Otta River. The road may have thrived for many more centuries.

“The decline of the Lendbreen pass was probably caused by a combination of economic changes, climate change and late medieval pandemics(中世纪流行病), including the Black Death,” study co—author Lars Pilo explained. “When the local area recovered, things had changed, and the Lendbreen pass was lost to memory.”

“The objects are amazingly well preserved,” study co—author Espen Finstad added. “It is like they were lost a short time ago, not centuries or millennia ago.”

For archaeologists, the Lendbreen ice patch seems like a gift from the ancient past. But it's alarming that it's unwrapping itself so rapidly. "Global warming is leading to the melting of mountain ice worldwide," said Pilo. “Trying to save the remains of a melting world is a very exciting job—the finds are just an archaeologist's dream—but at the same time, it is also a job you cannot do without deep worry.”

【1】How many archaeologists joined efforts to publish the new research?

A．One.

B．Two.

C．Three.

D．Four.

【2】What does the underlined word “thrive” in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Grow weakly.

B．Develop badly.

C．Grow happily.

D．Develop successfully.

【3】From the last paragraph, what feeling do the archaeologists have about saving the remains of melting world?

A．Excited and concerned.

B．Satisfied and disappointed.

C．Delighted and depressed.

D．Astonished and discouraged.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．An ancient highway lost to memory.

B．A history of the lost highway.

C．The mystery of the lost highway.

D．How to find the ancient highway.

28、Do you know that nearly every home in America contains a microwave? While microwaves make meals for busy people in several seconds, is microwaving food bad for you? Over the years，this standard household appliance(家用电器）has caused much discussion. Some argue microwaves kill nutrients in your food. Is that really true?

In reality, anytime food is exposed to heat, nutrients like vitamin C and some antioxidants (抗氧化剂) can be lost. But this applies to cooking in general, not just when you’re using microwave. As is reported by WHO (World Health Organization), microwaving your food is a safe way to prepare it and it keeps the same level of nutrients as when you cook on a stove top or in the oven(烤箱).

When microwaving thicker food like meat products, WHO provides the following suggestions to ensure safe cooking methods: Cooking time will vary depending on the food itself and the power of the microwave, and will also be affected by the density of the item you are heating. Since microwave heating doesn’t evenly(均匀地)go into thick food items, meat that’s not thoroughly cooked may contain harmful microorganisms that make you sick. To kill harmful bacteria when cooking in the microwave, WHO suggests letting your food “rest” for several minutes after you finish warming it to allow the heat to give off throughout the item.

If you’re thinking about microwaving your vegetables, Harvard Health Publishing suggests heating your food rapidly, in the shortest amount of time, and as little amount of water as possible. As far as vegetables are concerned, cooking them in water robs them of some of their nutritional value because the nutrients run out into the cooking water," states the report.

【1】What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?

A．To attract readers’ interest.

B．To summarize the whole passage.

C．To describe a memorable experience.

D．To introduce the topic of the passage.

【2】What will happen if you cook food in a microwave?

A．It will cause certain loss of some nutrients.

B．It only breaks the Vitamin C in the vegetables.

C．It will affect the flavor of the food.

D．It makes food unsafe to be eaten in general.

【3】Which can be ignored when setting the cooking time?

A．The size of the food to be cooked.

B．The density of the food to be cooked.

C．The power of the microwave used.

D．The temperature of the surroundings.

【4】How should you microwave vegetables?

A．Enough water is needed to wash off the bad bacteria.

B．Use as little time as possible to lock the nutrients.

C．Cut them into small pieces before putting them in.

D．Let them “rest” for several minutes after warming.

29、What do you think of British people and American people? You might think that there are no differences between the people in the two countries. After all they speak the same language, don't they? But if you ask a British or an American person, the differences are quite great.

What do British people think Americans are like? The British think Americans are very strange. They make a lot of noise and they laugh too loudly. They are rich, and they only think about money. But the British do say that Americans are kind, friendly people. They are happy to help you if you are in trouble.

What do Americans think of the British? Well, they think the British are cold and very unfriendly. They are not interested in success or in making lots of money. They think Britain is the best country in the world. They look down upon other countries. But Americans say that the British are quite good workers. They are brave and honest. And in time of trouble they face difficulties happily.

You can see that these ideas can cause misunderstanding between the British and Americans. But when American and British people become friends, they usually find things are not as bad as they expected.

【1】What do you think of the differences between British and American people?

A．Their differences are very small.

B．The differences are very great.

30、There's been a lot written about color psychology but what we do know is that color can greatly affect human emotion and behavior.

32、

Does writing come hard to you? Are you discouraged to find yourself poor at writing? Nobody is born knowing how to write. Good writing habits, which help make you write on a regular basis, are necessary for you to improve your writing.

Firstly, you are supposed to read a wide range of books. It’s obvious when a writer is not well-read lack of reading will be obvious in every sentence one writes. Reading prepares you with necessary knowledge to be a good writer. What’s more, it provides you with basic skills for writing. The importance of reading cannot be stressed too much: read as much and as often as you can.

Secondly, it’s important to make a writing schedule and write daily if it is possible. Whether you write for two hours a day or fifteen minutes a day, daily writing is the key to developing good writing habits. It’s better to write for fifteen or twenty minutes every day than to sit for five or six hours to write over the weekend. However, if you can make a daily writing schedule with longer hours on your writing on weekends, then it’s much better.

One of the worst habits is never to get help from others to improve your writing. It is advised that you share your work with others. For example, you can post scene or you blog, send your writing around to a few friends, round up some readers and let them comment or your writing. That way, you’ll find your writing gradually improved.
