26、   Earlier this month a study showed that bees can teach themselves to play football. They can learn by watching and, rather than copy what they have seen,change it to make it better. Bees also have a clever trick for helping their friends find lunch. New research shows that bees leave smelly little footprints on flowers that help them know what flowers they and their family members have recently visited.

The discovery was made by scientists from University of Bristol who report these smelly footprints help bees distinguish  between their own scent(气味)，the scent of a relative and the scent of a stranger. And by using this ability ,bees can improve their success at finding good sources of a food and avoid flowers that have already been visited and mined of nutrients.

The Bristol team performed three separate experiments with bumblebees（大黄蜂）in which they were repeatedly exposed to rewarding and unrewarding flowers at the same time that had footprints from different bees attached to them.  Each flower type either carried scent -marks from bumblebees of differing relatedness or were unmarked.  The marks were either the bee's own marks, sisters from their nest ，or strangers from another nest.

The study shows that not only can bumblebees tell the marks of their own nest mates from strangers，but they can also discriminate  between the smell of their own footprints and those of their nest mate sisters，which could help them to remember which flowers they have visited recently.  But it doesn't explain how they use that in the wild. They may detect the footprints of their friends and keep moving on，since that flower may be tapped out.  Or they may smell a bit of familiar foot smell and dive in，seeing it as a marker that nectar（花蜜）is present.

【1】What can we infer about bees in Paragraph1?

A. They are smart learners. B. They have strong family ties.

C. They enjoy smelly footprints. D. They like playing tricks on others.

【2】What does “this ability ”in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Finding good sources of food. B. Following other bees' footprints.

C. Telling the smells of footprints apart. D. Recognizing different types of flowers.

【3】What can we learn from the findings of the experiments?

A. It's easier for Bumblebees to recognize their friends.

B. It's unclear how bumblebees use their ability in the wild.

C. Bumblebees' memory can be significantly improved.

D. Bumblebees' footprints can give them a sense of identity.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A. Different flowers attract different bees.

B. Bees have a new trick of surviving in the wild.

C. Bumblebees may smell footprints to keep track of food.

D. Bumblebees can give off unique scents to attract others.

28、   The word”Kuitou”in Peking Opera is the technical term for various kinds of hats and headpieces worn by various characters in traditional Chinese opera.More than just meeting the requirements of acting,it also reveals an aspect of traditional Chinese culture.

In traditional Han Chinese culture,people believed that since,one’s whole body was a gift from one’s parents,it was important to avoid anything that might injure it,a principle that showed filial piety(孝道)。Based on this ideology,males were required to let their hair grow long, and wearing hats became a rule of social etiquette(礼仪)in ancient times.

Since ancient Chinese society was divided into various social classes,people in each class wore different styles of clothes,but only the nobility were permitted to wear formal hats for adornment(装饰)。People of lower classes could only wrap their head with a piece of cloth. Anyone under the age of 20 was also not allowed to wear formal hats and could only wear one after the performance of an official capping ceremony to mark their reaching of adulthood.As a result,various types of formal hats in ancient times,in addition to having value as a piece of personal adornment and social etiquette,also revealed the social classes of people and strict social divisions that existed between the nobility and common people.

In ancient times,people attached much importance to the kind of hat they wore.An old saying says,”A man of noble character would rather die than take off his hat.”The saying was based on the story of one of Confucius’s favorite students,Zi Lu,a man who was a brave warrior. Once while fighting in close hand-to-hand combat,his enemy opponent knocked off his hat. When he realized that his hat had been knocked off,Zi Lu placed down his weapon and said to the enemy soldier,”A nobleman can die,but my attire(服装)must be kept orderly.”But the. moment he bent down to pick up his hat,the enemy soldier seized the opportunity and killed him. According to Zi Lu,his proper appearance,which included his hat,represented his dignity(尊严)， and he would rather die than abandon his dignity.

The formal hat culture of the Han Chinese continued up until the Ming Dynasty.Later after the Manchurians entered the Central Plains(满人入关)，common people in society began to wear hats.

【1】For Chinese males in the Han Dynasty,wearing headpieces or hats was.

A.a requirement of acting

B.a rule of social etiquette

C.a way to show filial piety

D.a representation of culture

【2】We can infer from the third paragraph that in ancient times,

A.the formal hat was a symbol of adulthood

B.headwear was nothing but a decoration

C.only noble people could afford to wear formal hats

D.there existed little distinction between social classes

【3】The author mentions the story of Zi Lu to show.

A.how brave a person he was

B.how people valued their hats

C.how fierce an ancient war was

D.how people dealt with etiquette

【4】The passage is probably taken from the column of.

29、I guess I always knew about the little fish treat, but this past summer it was all I could see. Pipin and Nemo were flying through hoops (圈), dancing with the trainer, and we were all applauding (鼓掌) -- the little kids were excited. That’s when the trainer, rewarded Pipin and Nemo with a fish. Each time they successfully performed a trick, they’d get an immediate reward.

These animals weren’t really dancing, of course. They were performing a series of movements that they knew would have a fish. It’s such a good show because the sea lions look like they’re having such fun.These talented performers who love to be in front of people seem almost human.

Somewhere in our life Journey, we all have a sea lion moment. You see how you’ve spent years jumping through hoops, not because it’s really who you are, but because you’ve always done it and you will get reward for your performance. But when you’ve done that for ten or twenty years, you start to ask yourself, “Who am I working for? What do I really believe?” Suddenly you see it: you’ve spent almost all your life taking direction from other people. They’ve told you what to believe in, what to work for, how to live your life. You don’t want to end your life like George. George is speaking to his son Ted, who cannot follow in his father’s steps. He wants to leave college and head off on his own way. “Dad, I can’t stand it any more,” the boy says. “Maybe it’s all right for some kids. Maybe I’ll want to go back some day, but now, I want to do what I want to and become myself.” George, seeming old, says, “I’ve never done a single thing I’ve wanted to in my whole life!”

The Good - Bye Gate brings us naturally to a second passage, leading from being dependent to being self. You start to find out that where there is supposed to be a self, there really isn’t.

The study was carried out by the University of Minnesota. The researchers estimated how levels of fine particulate matter (细颗粒物) and ground-level ozone — two important 【4】 of air pollution — would change when a car is powered by different ways.

It was no surprise that electric cars whose batteries were recharged with power from wind, solar or hydro-electric sources came out to be virtually free from harmful 【5】. They were estimated to cause 231 deaths over the course of a year, compared with 878 for petrol cars. Electric cars recharged with power from natural gas-fired stations were also a lot less harmful than petrol-driven ones, with 439 deaths. But if those same electric cars were recharged 【6】 by coal, they would be responsible for over 3,000 deaths.

Biofuels also caused more health problems than petrol. But diesel, which often  【7】 concern about pollution, is slightly cleaner than petrol. This is because the study assumes for all cars that emission-control technologies will be more widely used, especially particulate filters which have a remarkable effect on cleaning diesel 【8】. Diesel cars are also more 【9】 of fuel than petrol-driven ones.

Overall, the study shows that electric cars are cleaner than those traditional vehicles only if the power used to charge then is also clean. That is hardly a surprise, but the 【10】 of the difference is. How green electric cars really are, then, will depend mainly on where they are driven. In France, which obtains more than half of its power from nuclear station, electric cars look like a good bet. In China and some other developing countries, where a large amount of electricity is produced from coal, they may not be so environment- friendly as they are marketed.

40、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Located halfway up the Italy’s Apennine Mountain, about 100 miles northeast of Rome, the Hotel Rigopiano has never been easy to reach.But its isolation(隔绝)only adds to its appeal, attracting a great number of tourists.

Snow began to fall across the Apennines in January and lasted for days.From his home in the Rome suburbs, Matrone watched the weather with concern.He and his wife, Cicioni, had planned an overnight getaway to the hotel. But now he wondered whether they should go. After phoning the hotel, they decided to make the trip. By the time they neared the hotel six hours later, they were battling a snowstorm. When they finally arrived, they were both cold and exhausted. They checked into their room and went to bed early.

As they awoke the next day, they discovered that their difficulty had worsened overnight. The cars in the parking lot were invisible. The phone and power lines were down. They were having breakfast when the hotel began to shake. An earthquake with a magnitude(震级)of 5.7 had struck the mountain. “Get out of here!” Matrone shouted to his wife. They headed quickly to the parking lot, where others were digging their cars.Fifteen minutes after the first earthquake, another quake hit, this one measuring 5.6.

With a dozen vehicles freed by noon, the guests set off down the driveway.But when they reached the main road, the path was blocked by a six-foot-high wall of snow.Matrone climbed out of his car and investigated it. There was no road in sight, “We’re trapped!” he told his wife. So they had no choice but to make their way back to the hotel so as to be saved.

As it was getting dark, they managed to be back. That was when the snow on the mountain began to slide. They heard the avalanche (雪崩) before they saw it. The avalanche gathered speed and size, grabbing rocks and trees and anything else in its way down the mountain, tearing the hotel from its foundation. When the avalanche came to a stop, those caught inside the hotel were left buried in the icy rocks and ruins.
