26、Dry January has some running-related roots. Back in 2011, a woman living in the U. K. named Emily Robinson signed up for her first half marathon. In preparation for the race, she decided to cut out alcohol—specifically during her January training, creating a dry month. Her experiment was a success: She reported losing weight, feeling increased energy, and sleeping better. But the Dry January tradition can be traced further back to 1942—Finland started the program Raitis Tammikuu to aid in the war effort against the Soviet Union.

Thanks to these two events, Dry January has become a global phenomenon, with millions participating each year.

Why would you do such a thing during the longest, darkest, coldest month of the year? Beyond strengthening a New Year’s resolution, perhaps you want to explore a new you in the new year. Some unexpected benefits may come of this, too, like improved running performance. You might even start a trend in your friend circle or discover new ways to spend your free time. The benefits of taking on a Dry January challenge are endless: eating less junk food, improved digestion, healthier-looking skin, better sleep, the ability to complete harder workouts, and clear-headedness.

It’s fair to say that most elements in alcoholic cocktails aren’t packed with protein, nor are they high in fiber or loaded with vitamins—so, when you cut out alcohol during Dry January, you’re cutting out unneeded calories that contain little nutritional value.

In the absence of alcohol, you may notice you have more energy for physical activities, especially running. So not only will cutting out cocktails get rid of missed workouts, actually making it to the gym or a run helps release endorphins, which create happy feelings.

“Lessening alcohol can be a helpful way for clients to achieve physical and emotional health because it helps us be more awake in our lives,” says Sadie Kurzban, CEO and founder of 305 Fitness.

【1】What is the first paragraph intended for?

A．Explaining what Dry January is.

B．Listing advantages of Dry January.

C．Showing the origin of Dry January.

D．Convincing readers to participate.

【2】What can you get if you participate in Dry January?

A．A new image among your friends.

B．Better solutions to your problems.

C．More chances to make good friends.

D．A better way to fight against cold.

【3】What’s the purpose of the text?

A．To stress the importance of physical exercise.

B．To state the nutritional value of alcohol drinks.

C．To point out the harm caused by alcohol drinks.

D．To persuade readers to participate in Dry January.

【4】In which column of a magazine can we find the text?

A．Health.

B．Education.

C．History.

D．Tourism.

28、   Apple and Google have teamed up to launch a mobile phone tool to follow the contacts of people infected with coronavirus (冠状病毒). The technology is a form of contact tracing, a method used to identify people who may have had contact with infected individuals in an attempt to prevent additional spread of disease. If a device user becomes infected with the virus and agrees to share that information, the record could be used to inform other people that the user could have infected.

Major technology companies—including Google and Facebook—have been denounced in recent years for not protecting user privacy. In some cases, companies have been accused of secretly selling user data. In the past, Apple chief Tim Cook has criticized Facebook and Google for putting profits ahead of user privacy.

However, now numerous technology companies and organizations have been seeking to develop tools to help fight COVID-19. Health and government officials have called for such technology to help fight the current crisis.

In announcing the new system, Apple and Google said its developers had built in “strong protections around user privacy.” The companies said the technology would not identify personal information or record user movements. It is designed to only catch data about when users’ phones have been near each other. Data will not be kept on company servers, Apple and Google added. The two companies also said they would “openly publish information” about their work for others to examine.

Pam Dixon is director of the not-for-profit World Privacy Forum. She told The Associated Press that after discussing the new system with a top Apple official, she is convinced that people’s privacy will be protected.

“I think they’ve taken care of some of the really big problems,” she said. Dixon notes that the companies are able to turn off the system when it is no longer needed. The government is not going to have identity information of those testing positive.

【1】What can the mentioned mobile phone tool do?

A.Reveal user privacy of those infected.

B.Help control the spread of the virus.

C.Force users to share personal information.

D.Remind users to build up their bodies.

【2】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “denounced” in paragraph 2?

A.criticized B.demanded C.reported D.advertised

【3】What do the officials think of the technology?

A.It is barely necessary. B.It doesn’t have wide application.

C.It has good value. D.It is hardly acceptable.

【4】What may be the suitable title for the text?

A.Ways to protect user privacy

B.Reasons for privacy protection

C.The role technology plays in daily life

D.Mobile phones’ new tool against coronavirus spread

29、   It was a weeknight and one of my twin daughters marched into the room, waving a book she'd finished. “Dad, why are books with science in them always about boys?” she asked.

I told her that simply wasn't true; there were loads of great science fictions with girls in them. She agreed, but argued that in those stories it was the boys who were doing science, and the girls were just along for the ride. My other daughter took her sister's side and challenged me to give an example.

This left me in a difficult position. I could either go through our library to point out some wonderful examples of female-led science fictions, or just admit they were right and remain in my comfortable chair.

I've been asked several times how I came up with the idea for A Problematic Paradox and my answer is always the same: it came to me in a moment of inspiration. I like that answer because it's simple and makes me seem very creative. The fact that this explanation is not true bothers me from time to time. Here's the truth: the story wasn't my idea. It was my daughters who suggested I write something for them that had a girl doing science.

My daughters were at an age when many young women turn away from STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), believing those areas of study unfriendly or out-of-the-norm for girls. I also read about how important role models can be to young people. It's one thing to tell a person they can do something, but seeing someone like them doing that thing can be more powerful.

So, I kept two guidelines for the book in mind: First, the story had to be fun for anyone, because it's as important for boys to understand that science is for everyone. Second, I wanted the main character, Nikola, to be imperfect. She should be someone with shortcomings as we all have. I think this not only makes a story more interesting to read, but also helps make it clear that the most extraordinary things can be done by ordinary people.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “along for the ride” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Entering a bike race.

B．Offering vital help.

C．Doing unimportant things.

D．Playing the leading role.

【2】What do we know about the book A Problematic Paradox1?

A．Its main character is perfect.

B．It is a female-led science fiction.

C．It is intended to appeal to girls only.

D．Its idea comes from the author's inspiration.

【3】Which of the following best describes the author's book?

A．Serious and abstract.

B．Simple and practical.

C．Creative and well-organized.

D．Inspiring and interesting.

For many years large supermarkets have been encouraging us to spend money by pumping the smell of freshly-baked bread into their stories. Now Dale Air, a leading firm of aroma(香气)consultants, has been approached by Barclay’s Bank to develop suitable 【1】 smells for their banks. Researchers have suggested that 【2】 customers with the "smell of money" will encourage them to feel relaxed and give them added 【3】 in the bank’s security and professionalism.

Aroma experts have little 【4】 that it can be an effective form of subconscious advertising. Lunn Poly, a British travel company,  【5】 the smell of coconuts into its travel agencies and saw a big increase in spending by holiday makers.
