26、   Have you ever wondered how many cigarettes you're passively smoking while walking through the streets of a polluted, smog-infused((烟雾笼罩的)city?No?Well, a pair of digital developers just invented an app that will definitely and accurately answer that question.

Shit, I Smoke! was created by Brazilian-born designer Marcelo Coelho and Paris-born app developer Amaury Martiny in just a week, after they read a study that analyzed air pollution and its equivalent(等量)to cigarette smoking. The article, co-written by Richard Mueller, a MacArthur fellow and physics professor at the University of California, Berkeley, explains a mathematical model that compares smoking and tobacco-related deaths to levels of PM2.5, a microscopic particle(微粒)that is a dangerous, cancerous pollutant after burning.

The app shows that Parisians can effectively inhale(吸入) between three and six cigarettes per day, while a person in Delhi could be smoking up to 20 cigarettes-without even touching one--on a bad day. Other cities have worrying numbers, too (6. 5 cigarettes daily in Mexico City ).

“I was surprised to see that Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo have the best air quality in all Latin America,despite the fact that these are heavily populated cities,”said Coelho, who's originally from the latter, Brazil's largest city.

For both Coelho and Martiny, the app isn't only a useful tool to inform users about their city's air quality;it also makes this information more accessible and easier to understand. “These air-quality monitoring stations are just numbers, numbers that are very specific to professionals who work in environmental issues,” Martiny said. “So when you make this conversion(转换)to cigarettes, it makes it easier to understand what people are dealing with and the consequences air quality has in the daily lives.”

The developers' plan now is to keep working on and enriching the app's features. This will most likely include monthly average cigarette rates, and enabling users to get data from cities other than the one they're in.

【1】What does the underlined part “that question” mean?

A.How severely a city's air is polluted.

B.How harmful it is to smoke in urban areas.

C.How many cigarettes one usually smokes daily.

D.How much harmful air you're taking in in urban areas.

【2】According to Shit, I Smoke!, which city has the worst air quality?

A.Paris B.Delhi.

C.Mexico City. D.Sao Paulo.

【3】Before Coelho used the app, he probably thought that__________.

A.Brazil might have good air

B.his hometown was a badly polluted city.

C.air pollution wasn't a problem in Latin America.

D.Buenos Aires had the best air quality in Latin America

【4】In the opinion of Coelho and Martiny, what is the usage of the app?

A.Encouraging people to abandon the habit of smoking.

B.Recommending some best places for people to live in.

C.Helping people better know their everyday air quality.

D.Reminding people to do something good for the environment.

27、There are books that have climbed up the ladder of the bookshelf this month. Let’s have a look.

No Looking Back by Shivani Gupta

28、“Croeso I Gymru!,” If you don't know what this means, read on to find out more.

When you cross over the border from England into Wales, you don't have to show your passport but you do notice a difference immediately. All the road markings and signs are shown in two languages — English and Welsh (威尔士语）. Not all visitors to Britain know that other languages are spoken here. There's the Gaelic (盖尔语) language in Scotland and a few people speak Cornish (康沃尔语）in the southwest of England, but the most widely spoken language in the UK besides English is Welsh.

Perhaps the first Welsh word you'll see on the road into Wales is ARAF. There's a helpful English translation next to it — SLOW. As you can see, Welsh looks quite different from English. It sounds very different, too. Welsh looks and sounds so different from English because it’s a Celtic language. Celtic cultures still exist around the edges of the UK — in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and also in parts of France. For hundreds of years, almost everyone in Wales spoke Welsh, but nowadays there are about 600 thousand Welsh speakers — around 20% of the population.

So is Welsh dying out? Not at all! Nowadays, all school children in Wales study Welsh and many choose to go to an all Welsh-speaking school. You can get public information in Welsh, speak Welsh in court or take a course at university in Welsh. People surf the Internet in Welsh, keep up with friends on Facebook and write blogs in Welsh.

By the way, “Croeso I Gymru!" means “Welcome to Wales!” 一 I hope you'll be able to visit it one day.

【1】According to the passage, Welsh ________.

A. has developed from Cornish

B. is still widely used in the UK

C. sounds a little similar to English

D. is more widely spoken than before

【2】How does the author feel about the future of Welsh?

A. Optimistic.   B. Curious.   C. Worried.      D. Confused.

【3】What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?

A. To explain a typical Welsh term.

B. To compare English with Welsh.

C. To give an introduction to Welsh.

D. To encourage people to visit Wales.

29、   Citizen science projects make it possible for you to collect real data that scientists can use in their research. Here are four examples of projects that you can take part in.

FrogWatch USA

Frogs play an important role in their ecosystems, being both predator and prey (捕食者和猎物). So, understanding their populations is one way scientists track wetland health. From February to August, citizens like you listen for the calls of specific species and record them in an online database. To make sure volunteers know what they are listening for, FrogWatch has a network of local chapter coordinators (协调者) who lead the training.

Globe at Night

You wouldn't be the only one wondering about the light coming into your sky from nearby lamps and cities. Scientists have big questions about this too. Globe at Night is an international project that has had volunteers take more than 100,000 measurements in 115 countries. In the past they only enlisted (征募) citizen scientists in the winter and spring, but since 2017 they have set observation dates for the whole year. The project welcomes volunteers who want to help observe light pollution that could affect wildlife, health, and energy consumption.

Did You Feel It?

The “Did You Feel It？” program depends on feedback (反馈) from anyone who feels the shaking or sees any damage as the result of an earthquake. This data helps to produce a map that is available within minutes — and updated rapidly — documenting where shaking and damage are the most intense (强烈的)．

GLOBE Observer

If you would rather take your own photos than look through images from a telescope, consider downloading the GLOBE Observer app. This app allows citizen scientists to take photos of clouds for comparison with satellite images. Become an observer and become part of a major source of global human observation of clouds.

【1】Which project trains its volunteers?

A.Globe at Night. B.Did You Feel It?

C.FrogWatch USA. D.GLOBE Observer.

【2】Which of the following describes volunteers' work at Globe at Night?

A.It's done in colder seasons.

B.It's done in wild fields.

C.It's time­consuming.

D.It's eco­friendly.

【3】What does a GLOBE Observer do?

A.Take pictures of clouds.

B.Improve satellite images.

C.Observe the sky with a telescope.

D.Upload cloud change data onto an app.

32、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。

It was just the three of us-my parents and me. My dad is a truck driver, and when I was little, he was gone most of the time, delivering wire and other supplies around the Midwest. So my mom was almost like a single mother.

We lived in a small house in Brighton, Colorado, in a neighborhood of 1970s old houses. We had a big yard with plenty of room for our five dogs and two cats to run around.

We moved there on my third birthday. My first memory is our neighbor Arlene handing me strawberries（草莓）from her garden through a hole in the chain-link fence. She and her husband, Bill, lived next door.

Arlene spent a lot of time working in the garden, and I was always talking to her from our yard. I was a chatterbox（喋喋不休的人）. I think what drew me to Arlene and Bill is that they never got tired of listening to me. I also think Arlene saw a lot of herself in me-we were both lonely, anxious-and that may be why she always took the time to listen to me. Bill too. It was a wonderful connection.

One day, my parents asked Bill and Arlene whether they’d watch me while they went out. This worked well for everyone, so it became a somewhat frequent occurrence. Arlene and Bill didn’t have kids. They had a spare room in their house, which became “my” room. I had boxes of toys and books in that room. Arlene and I would do crafts together. Bill taught me how to ride a bike and later how to drive the lawn tractor（割草机）. He was always fixing something in his yard and always smelled like oil. I would wander over to chatter at him, and he would always stop and listen to me, just like Arlene did. Time flew and I was five years old before I knew it.
