26、 D

February has long been a month of romance. With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.

On the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals! This is what you see on Valentine’s Day, a day named after Valentine        who was a priest in the third century Rome. When the emperor decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didn’t allow marriage.

But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard.        Before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed “From your Valentine”, an expression that is still in use today. Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint (圣徒), as well as becoming one of history’s most romantic        characters.

Nowadays, Valentine’s Day is also popular among Chinese young people. Some students are planning to make Valentine’s cards for parents, teachers and friends. Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped        cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St. Valentine.

27、We’re a nation — a globe, in fact — obsessed with our hair. Analysts estimate the global hair product industry to be worth €22.6 billion, growing at a rate of up to seven percent a year.

There seems to be no limit on what we’ll spend to avoid a bad hair day. But for devotees of an underground beauty movement, the secret lies in throwing away the shampoo, in fact all the hair products, for good.

The “no-poo” method, which involves using natural substitutes or just water in place of shampoo and conditioner, is supported by several circles.

Beauty insiders, including writers for women’s magazines and professional hairdressers, speak highly of how hair becomes thicker, fuller, softer and brighter.

And environmentalists who are mindful of money feel great joy at the lack of chemicals in and on their bodies—not to mention the impact on their budgets.

Now one devotee is hoping to take it mainstream. Lucy Aitken Read, whose book Happy Hair: The definitive guide to giving up shampoo was released last week, hasn’t used shampoo for two years and her glowing brown hair is visibly in perfect condition.

For her, the motivation came after reading a study that claimed women put 515 chemicals on their bodies daily. “I initially thought ‘Ha! They didn’t research me!’,” Aitken Read says. “Then I looked at the back of my shampoo bottle and realized there were loads of chemical components I didn’t recognize in the slightest.”

Strangely it’s oily hair that could benefit the most from giving up shampoo. The theory behind the “no-poo” method is that shampoo removes the hair from its natural oils, which causes the scalp (头皮) to generate more oils to replace them. This results in oil overload — oily hair—which we then attempt to “fix” with more shampoo. It’s a vicious (恶性的) circle and quite a brilliant success for the shampoo industry, because the more shampoo you use, the more you need to use and the more frequently you need to use it.

Left to its own devices or washed with natural substitutes, the scalp eventually theoretically returns to its natural balance. The result should be healthier hair that is stronger, thicker and fuller as it is less damaged than shampooed hair.

【1】What can we know from the first paragraph?

A. More and more people produce hair products.

B. More and more people waste money on their hair.

C. More and more hair products are wasted every year.

D. More and more hair products are produced every year.

【2】According to Para 5, environmentalists are in favor of “no-poo” method because _______.

A. it has the same chemicals as shampoo does

B. it helps reduce their budgets on daily expenses in a way

C. natural substitutes are friendly to the environment

D. they know shampoo has an impact on their health

【3】What can we learn from Lucy’s words?

A. She didn’t realize shampoo contains so many harmful chemicals.

B. She didn’t realize shampoo contains all the necessary chemicals.

C. She couldn’t recognize the description on the shampoo bottle.

D. She didn’t recognize she was quite different from other women.

【4】What is the main trouble with shampoo?

A. It adds more oils to the hair.

B. It prevents the scalp producing oils.

C. It badly impacts the shampoo industry.

D. It makes people addicted to using it more often.

28、   What exactly is a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a firiend wants to borrow some money from you. You say “I wish I could help you but I'm short of money myself.” In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don't want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie?

Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of Southern Califormia has made a scientific study of lying. According to him, women are better liars than men. particular when telling a “white lie”, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks awful. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they no intention of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.

Research has also been done into the way people's behavior changes in a number of small apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now.” They also tend to touch certain parts of the face more often, in particular the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The up of the nose is very sensitive to such changes and the increased pressure make sit itch.

Another gesture which give liars away is that the writer Desmond Morris in his book Man-watching calls “the mouth cover” He says there are several typical forms of this, such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper-lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side of the mouth. Such as gesture can be understood as an unconscious attempt on the part of the lair to stop himself or herself from lying.

Of course, such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth, or moving about in a chair cannot be taken as proof that the speaker is lying. They simply tend to occur more frequently n this situation. It is not one gesture alone that gives the lair away but whole number of things and in particular the context in which the lie is told.

【1】According to the passage, a “white lie” seems to be a lie ________.

A．that other people believe

B．that other people don't believe

C．told in order to avoid offending someone

D．told in order to take advantage of someone

【2】According to Professor Jellison, women ________.

A．generally lie far more than men do

B．are better at telling less serious lies than men are

C．lie at parties more often than men do

D．often make promise they don't intend to keep

【3】Researchers find when a person tells a lie, ________.

A．he looks very serious

B．his blood pressure increase considerably

C．he uses his unconscious mind

D．there tends to be some small changes in his behavior

【4】Which of the following may best betray（出卖）a liar?

A．The touching of the tip of one's nose

B．The changes of one's behavior.

C．The circumstances where the lie is told

D．“The mouth cover” gesture.

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。

For my fourteenth birthday, my mom offered to take me and several friends to the city nearest our small town to visit a mall, go shopping, eat pizza and then watch a movie. All the friends I’d invited showed up except Nora. I felt confused and angry.

So, as soon as I returned to my house, I gave her a call. “It’s my birthday! You’re not coming, and you didn’t even let me know. What kind of friend are you? How could you do this to me?”

Then Nora explained she had to stay at home because she had gotten sick. “OK, so you’re sick... But how was I supposed to know if you didn’t tell me?” I answered. It only grew worse from there, and Nora cried as we hung up the phone moments later. Immediately, her mother called back. Angrily, she told me how much I’d hurt her daughter, how much Nora had wanted to join us, and that she had been the one to change Nora’s plan. Still thinking only of myself, I ended the call with Nora’s mom and still felt angry.

At school on Monday, I found it easy to avoid Nora since she and I had no classes together. For the rest of the school year, we hardly spoke.

The next year I entered a senior high school, with twice as many students as my junior high school. I made some new friends and kept some old ones. But my friendship with Nora had been in the past.

Years later-just over twenty, to be specific-I discovered Facebook had suggested Nora as an online friend. We’d attended the same school and had many Facebook friends in common; it made sense. So, I reached out and sent the friend request. Nora accepted.

注意：1．续写词数应为150左右;

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

After several days of polite online communication, I began to reflect on that phone conversation with Nora years ago.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Immediately, she responded with a message of her heartfelt forgiveness.
