26、When I was 13, my bedroom walls were covered with posters of the Monkees and Beatles. I wrote fan letters and daydreamed about meeting the objects of my affections. I begged my parents to attend every rock concert and watch every TV show featuring my favorite celebrities (名人) ; my friends and I discussed for hours all the things we would say and do when we met our favorite movie stars and pop singers. I drove my mother crazy! But after a few years, my obsession (迷恋) stars faded as I matured and gained the confidence to socialize with "real" boys.

In the 35 years since I was a teenager, celebrity worship (崇拜) has increased among teens due to the explosion of television celebrity gossip shows, and instant access to celebrity news on the Internet. It's no wonder that many teens are obsessed with stars when news programs often are filled with entertainment stories and the lives of celebrities.

Celebrity worship syndrome (综合征) is now considered a personality disorder. While it is normal for teenagers to follow the lives of their favorite stars, parents should try to monitor everything their child finds interesting. Parents should take action if they suspect a teen is too obsessed with celebrities and showing little interest in school or withdrawing from the family. When teens talk a lot about celebrities and view them as just means of entertainment, this is considered normal celebrity worship. However, when a teenager is obsessed with a star and often expresses a desire to have a close personal relationship with a celebrity or feels they have a special connection to a star, this may be the time for concern.

Recent studies have shown that teens who develop an unhealthy obsession with celebrities often suffer from low self confidence and depression. Teens who are overly obsessed with stars often have damaged relationships with their parents.

【1】We learn from the second paragraph that ____.

A. teens today are not so obsessed with celebrities

B. the author is surprised at celebrity worship

C. the media greatly contributes to celebrity worship today

D. celebrities expose their lives too much

【2】Parents should become concerned when their children ____.

A. talk a lot about celebrities with others

B. put up celebrity posters in their bedrooms

C. ask to go to their favorite star's concert

D. desire a close personal relationship with their favorite star

【3】The last paragraph implies that ____.

A. parents should not care too much about a child's celebrity worship

B. children can normally get out of celebrity worship when they are older

C. children with celebrity worship usually have high opinion of themselves

D. celebrity worship syndrome can be a serious problem if left overlooked

【4】What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?

A. The harm of celebrity worship syndrome.

B. What to do with children's celebrity worship syndrome.

C. More signs of celebrity worship syndrome.

D. Who will suffer most from celebrity worship syndrome.

27、What do you imagine when you think of a forest? You probably imagine a vast area of land covered with trees. But as many traditional forests are destroyed, tiny forests — some as small as a tennis court — have sprung up (涌现) in cities around the world. 【1】.

These mini forests are inspired by Akira Miyawaki, a botanist, or plant scientist from Japan who pioneered a special way of growing forests. 【2】 It involves planting a wide variety of native trees close together and leaving them to grow into a forest. Miyawaki has planted more than 1,000 of these in Japan and other countries.

The Miyawaki method is said to grow trees 10 times faster than other methods. 【3】That's according to a 2018 study by Wageningen University, in the Netherlands. The study says the diversity of tree species attracts a greater variety of insects looking for food and shelter.

【4】 Boomforest is an organization in Paris, France. It planted two forests using the Japanese botanist's method. The group also teaches people how they can grow their own mini forests. In the Netherlands, IVN Nature Education has helped communities build 100 forests using the Miyawaki method. The group also educates kids about tiny forests.

Simon Lewis, a professor of global change science at University College London, is excited about tiny forests. He explains that it's important to grow trees because they absorb carbon dioxide. 【5】 He hopes more people will use the Miyawaki method to plant mini forests.

A．It plans to double that number by 2022.

B．The Miyawaki method has become popular in Europe.

C．They're increasing biodiversity (生物多样性) and fighting climate change.

D．That's a gas that contributes to climate change.

E．Lewis points to trees grown and cut down to make paper.

F．It's known as the Miyawaki method.

G．And these tiny forests are more bio-diverse than traditional forests.

28、Aging happens to all of us, and is generally thought as a natural part of life. It would seem silly to call such a thing a   “disease”.

On the other hand, scientists are increasingly learning that aging and biological age are two different things, and that the former is a key risk factor for conditions such as heart disease, cancer and many more. In that light, aging itself might be seen as something treatable, the way you would treat high blood pressure or a vitamin deficiency.

Biophysicist Alex Zhavoronkov believes that aging should be considered a disease. He said that describing aging as a disease creates encouragement to develop treatments.

“It unties the hands of the pharmaceutical(制药的) industry so that they can begin treating the disease and not just the side effects,” he said.

“Right now, people think of aging as natural and something you can't control.” he said. “In academic circles, people take aging research as just an interest area where they can try to develop interferences. The medical community also takes aging for granted, and can do nothing about it except keep people within a certain health range. ”

But if aging were recognized as a disease, he said, “It would attract funding and change the way we do health care. What matters is understanding that aging is curable.”

“It was always known that the body accumulates damage” he added. “The only way to cure aging is to find ways to repair that damage. I think of it as preventive medicine for age-related conditions. ”

Leonard Hayflick, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco, said the idea that aging can be cured implies the human lifespan can be increased, which some researchers suggest is possible. Hayflick is not among them.

“There're many people who recover from cancer, stroke, or heart disease. But they continue to age, because aging is separate from their disease,” Hayflick said. “Even if those causes of death were removed, life expectancy would still not go much beyond 92 years.”

【1】What do people generally believe about aging?

A．It should cause no alarm whatever the circumstances.

B．It should be regarded as a kind of disease.

C．They just cannot do anything about it.

D．They can delay it with advances in science.

【2】How do many scientists view aging now?

A．It might be prevented and treated.

B．It can be as risky as heart disease.

C．It results from a vitamin deficiency.

D．It is an irreversible(不可逆转的) biological process.

【3】What do we learn about the medical community?

A．They now have a strong interest in research on aging.

B．They differ from the academic circles in their view on aging.

C．They have ways to prevent people's aging process.

D．They can contribute to people's health only to a limited extent.

【4】What does Professor Leonard Hayflick believe?

A．Aging is hardly separate from disease.

B．The human lifespan cannot be lengthened.

C．Few people live up to the age of 92.

D．Heart disease is the major cause of aging.

29、Dear Mr. Jones,

I expect you may be slightly surprised to receive a letter from someone living as near as your next-door neighbor, but I have to raise a subject that it will be easier for me to discuss in writing.

You may have noticed that I have a line of apple trees running alongside the fence that separates our two gardens. You may also have taken pleasure in the frequent sight of your two children sitting on your lawn directly by the fence. And you may also have noticed that my apple trees, so to speak, bend over the fence and seem to look down at your children with interest.

It is only natural that your children should sometimes seem to return that interest. And it is not only natural, but, I acknowledge, quite legal, for them occasionally to show that interest by picking all the apples that hang over on your side of the fence.

But to be plain with you, Mr. Jones, I am tired of seeing your children, day after day, tear the branches off the side of every one of my apple trees, and leave my trees looking as though a battle had been fought on one side of them. I am, if anything, even more tired of waking up these fine autumn mornings, to find even the apples on my side of the fence much less in number. I know this is the work of your children, since last night I was woken up midnight by the noise they were making climbing one of my trees, and (as they may have told you) chased them home.

While I am on the subject, I am at least grateful to you for keeping your bonfire on the far side of your garden this year. Last year neither I nor your children had any apples, because the smoke from your bonfire destroyed all the flowers before the apples had time to form. I very much hope that next year—for the first time since I came to this village—I shall have my apples, and your children will have theirs and that the sight of the line of apple trees will be a pride to us both.

Otherwise, I shall not express my displeasure simply in writing to you, but shall have to refer the matter to those capable of taking stronger action.

Yours sincerely,

J. Smith
