26、Swimming can build up your muscles and turn back the aging clock. 【1】 We've got them right here. Dive in.

It's easy on the impact.

【2】 They need to take it easy on their joints. But it may also mean more results. "You can swim at higher intensities on a regular basis without feeling wear and tear on your body, "Walton, owner of an endurance training studio in New York City, says. You could have a superhard workout one day and still be in the pool the next.

It's great for your lungs.

A study in the Indian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology even found that swimmers had better tidal volume (the amount of air that moves in and out of the lungs during relaxed breathing) compared to runners. 【3】 And as you'll see next, it also leads to better running performance.

It makes you a better runner.

By increasing your ability to take in and effectively use oxygen, swimming increases your endurance capacity like crazy, Walton says 【4】 It also means you can run faster mile after mile without getting winded.

【5】

Regular swimmers are biologically 20 years younger than their driver's licences say they are, according to are search from Indiana University. Scientists say that, even up until your 70th birthday, swimming affects blood pressure,cholesterol levels and blood chemistry to be much more similar to that of your younger self. Who needs night cream?

A．It turns back the clock.

B．Anyone can do it.

C．Do you need more reasons to suit up?

D．This results in lower resting heart rates and lower blood pressure.

E．Yes, the low impact means swimming is a great workout for injured athletes

F．Swimming is a life skill. It opens the doors to a lot of fun stuff.

G．That's great news if you're hoping to complete your first half-marathon this year.

27、Rachel Carson was a scientist by profession, but the lines from the open chapter of her 1962 book Silent Spring. “A Fable for Tomorrow”, show her talent as a writer. By imagining a world without birds, she aimed to alert (使警惕) not only the scientific community but also the general public to the damaging effects of human activity on natural ecosystem-----in particular, to the harmful use of pesticides (杀虫剂), such as DDT. She believed that the chemical industry was knowingly causing harm to plants, animals and even humans, and wished to see pesticides used in a more responsible, limited and carefully monitored way.

Carson urged people to make themselves aware of the facts and do something about the situation. Silent Spring contains a lot of scientific research and case studies. The book details the programme of removing gypsy moth, which killed birds, in addition to killing gypsy moths. Another case study was the fire-ant programme that killed cows, but not fire ants. The book also gives dozens of other examples of removal programmes that did nothing to reduce the problems they were originally designed to solve. The 50 or so pages at the end of the book list Carson’s source, showing how thorough and precise she was as a scientist.

Silent Spring was not, however, received positively by everyone. Though Carson’s research was strong and was supported by most scientists who reviewed her book, the book quickly became a target for critics in the pesticide industry. They said that Carson did not understand the science behind her arguments because she was a marine biologist rather than a chemist. Some also said that her work was more emotional than scientific.

These were attempts to damage Carson’s reputation (名声) and stop her from influencing public policy, but she remained determined to stand by her research. Carson appeared in public and on television to defend her claims----and today, more than 50 years after it was published, the voice of Silent Spring is still ringing loud and clear.

【1】Which of the following is included in the passage?

① Background of the book                  

② Features of the book

③ Purposes of the book       

④ Responses to the book

A．①②③

B．②③④

C．①③④

D．①②④

【2】Some people questioned Carson’s ideas because they thought ________ .

A．she lacked sufficient evidence

B．she was ignorant of true science

C．she was anxious to get the credit

D．she was unprofessional in that field

【3】Silent Spring is a book that ________.

A．reveals humans to be the ruler of the world

B．charges pesticide industry with immoral act

C．illustrates the potential danger of pesticides

D．requests people to appreciate the beauty of spring

【4】Which of the following can best describe Carson?

A．Scientific and forward-looking.

B．Ordinary and responsible.

C．Courageous and well-educated.

D．Intelligent and adventurous.

28、As one of the best travel agencies, we highly recommend China as your travel destination. This ancient and modern country has diverse natural beauty and splendid culture. Here are three most beautiful places in China that you should visit with us!

Guilin & Yangshuo—China’s Most Beautiful Karst Landscape (喀斯特地形)

When looking for natural beauty, Yangshuo comes first in Chinese minds for its karst hills and rivers, which have inspired many poets and artists. Taking a 3-hour family-friendly hike is a good way to enjoy the Li River’s beauty. We can take you to less-crowded sites to get away from the touristy parts of Yangshuo and enjoy the painting-like scenes in peace.

The Yellow Mountains have their classic “four natural wondersn: peculiar pines (奇松), oddly-shaped rocks, seas of clouds, and hot springs. The villages around the Yellow Mountains are considered among the most beautiful villages in China. Hongcun, a set for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, was one of them. We offer tour guidance of walking or biking among these ancient villages. You may as well stay in a typical Hui-style hotel.

29、You've probably heard the expression "It's raining cats and dogs." Thankfully, our furry friends don't actually fall from the sky. But what about other animals? In 1870, snails fell on Chester, Pennsylvania. Frogs rained on ancient Greece and modern-day Siberia. And fish are the most common kind of animal rain! What's really going on here?

The most likely explanation is that spinning winds of a tornado act like a giant vacuum(真空吸尘器), sucking up fish and other life living in water. High up in the air, wind can bring them along for miles until they drop back to earth during a rainstorm.

Another idea is that it only appears that animals are coming down in the rain. Frogs and other creatures in beauty sleep can be flooded out of their resting places by a heavy downpour. When dozens of frogs are forced to the surface at once, it can look like they fell from the sky.

Of course, people don't always use science to explain animal rain. Every spring, small fish are found on the streets of Yoro, Honduras, after a heavy rainstorm. According to a local tale, a priest(牧师) prayed for the hungry villagers for three days, and then fish rained from the sky.

Scientists examined the fish rain in Yoro for one year and discovered that the fish are blind. That was a clue! Sightless fish are commonly found in caves. So instead of tailing from the sky, it is likely that these fish are being washed to the surface from flooded underground rivers.

While animal rain is unusual, it may become slightly more common. Whether fish and frogs are sucked up by tornadoes or washed out of their homes by floodwaters, as climate change warms the atmosphere, animal rain will continue to be part of our rough weather.

So the next time you witness a downpour, put out a bucket. You just might catch dinner!

C．Critical.

D．Respectful.

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

In 1952, my father traveled with the United Nations Peacekeeping Organization. He worked on a very large military vessel, and he went where the vessel went . This meant he spent a lot of time away from our home in North Carolina.

As Christmas approached, he called from somewhere remote. He explained to my mother why he would not be celebrating the holiday with us. He was a long way from home and had no way of getting back to his family.

Disappointed as she was, mum understood dad’s situation. She also knew we would be upset, so she told my two sisters, brother and me right away. The news hit me very hard. Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without dad. We were all very sad.

I knew he would have tried his best to be with us. Still, I went to bed on Christmas Eve with a heavy heart. When we woke up on Christmas morning, we opened the presents mum had put under the Christmas tree in the living room. I don’t remember what gift my brother received that year, but my sisters and I found new Barbie dolls. My sisters’ dolls had fancy clothes and shoes, and mum had placed mine in a pumpkin carriage. We were all happy with our gifts, so we went outside to play. I didn’t want mum to see how gloomy I was because I couldn’t show dad our gifts and say Merry Christmas to him. I could tell mum was feeling sad, too.

We went to play outside and as I was playing, I looked up and saw Santa approaching. I ran inside to tell Mother. She did not believe me and told me not to make up stories. I went back outside to welcome Santa. My brother, sisters and I were all very excited to see a real Santa coming to our home.

We were eager to know what gifts Santa would give us.
