26、Bessie Coleman was born in Atlanta, Texas, in 1892. Her mother was African American. Her father was part African American and part American Indian. Her family was poor. Bessie had to walk more than six kilometers to go to school.
Bessie had to pick cotton and wash clothes to help earn money for her family. She was able to save a little money and went to college in the state of Oklahoma. She was in college only one year because she did not have enough money to complete her studies. But during that year, she learned about flying. She read about the first flight of the Wright brothers and the first American female pilot Harriet Quimby.
When she was 23, Bessie Coleman moved to Chicago, Illinois to live with two of her older brothers. There, she heard stories from pilots who were returning from World War I. She decided she was going to learn how to fly airplanes. But she soon found this to be almost impossible. What flight school would admit a black woman? Bessie learned that she would have a better chance in Europe. She began to study French at a language school in Chicago.
Soon after the end of World War I, Bessie Coleman left for France. She attended the famous flight school, Ecole d'Aviation des Freres Caudron. She completed seven months of flight training. Coleman earned her international permit to fly in 1921 and she became the first black woman pilot.
Coleman returned to Chicago. She was the only black female pilot in the United States. So her story became popular in African American newspapers. She was asked by the Dallas Express newspaper in Texas why she wanted to fly. She said that women and blacks must have pilots if they were to keep up with the times.

27、 There are no hard and fast rules that say you must exercise in the morning to reach your weight loss or fitness goals. 【1】 Here are some tips to keep you active and ready for your nighttime workouts.
Work out Close to the Office
Ideally, you would want to wear your workout clothes under your work clothes to keep you in the mindset all day. But, if your job requires you to wear heels and a skirt or a suit and tie, this might not be reasonable. Instead, bring your workout clothes to work with you and change before you leave the office. 【2】
Plan Your Evening Meal
If you are responsible for making dinner in your household, don’t let that be an excuse to skip the gym. This is why slow-cookers were invented. 【3】 Having a meal waiting at home for you not only takes away the stress of planning a meal when you walk in the door, but it decreases the chances of you blowing your workout.
Choose a Workout for Your Mood
【4】 Consider something different, maybe the stair climber. Walk around the gym and see what attracts you, forcing yourself to take part in a workout that doesn’t attract your mood will only lead to a waste of your time.
【5】
While there are some people who can walk into the gym and just get started most people need a project. Sometime, during the day when you have a moment, make a list of the exercises you hope to accomplish.
A.Plan your workout.
B.Take a special class.
C.There are many benefits for working out at night.
D.Working out at night is a better choice for a lot of people.
E.They were designed to help people manage their time and create healthy meals.
F.The surest way to fail at a workout is to choose something you sincerely hate.
G.Place your gym bag or your clothes where you can see them all day.
28、 People have known for a long time that plants can hear, see, smell and communicate with each other. Now, they have been recorded making sounds when stressed.
In a study, Itzhak Khait and his team found that tomato and tobacco plants can make ultrasonic( 超声的 ) noises. The plant “cry out” due to lack of water, or when they are cut. The sound is just too high for human to hear.
Microphones were placed 10 centimeters away from the plants and picked up sounds in the range of 20 to 100,000 hertz( 赫兹). Human hearing usually ranges from 20 to 20,000 hertz. On average, “thirsty” tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour, while tobacco plants made 11. When plant was cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15.
Perhaps most interestingly, different types of stress led to different sounds. The researchers used a special machine to separate the plants’ sounds from those of wind, rain and other noises of the greenhouses. In most cases, it correctly told whether the stress was caused by dryness or a cut. Water-hungry tobacco made louder sounds than cut tobacco, for example. Although Khait and his team only looked at tomato and tobacco plants, they thought other plants also made sounds when stressed. Khait’s report also suggested that insects could hear the sound up to 5 meters away and respond.
The team said if farmers could hear these sounds, they could give plants the water they need. As climate change causes more droughts(干旱), they said this would be important information for farmers, for the sound that drought-stressed plants made could be used in agriculture.
If plants are screaming for fear of their survival, should we be thankful we can’t hear them?
【1】Which did Khait and his team find from their research?
A.Only tomato plants could make ultrasonic noises.
B.Humans can hear plants crying while cutting them.
C.Plants were able to produce sounds when stressed.
D.Plants made ultrasonic noises to communicate with each other.
【2】How did tomato and tobacco plants react to different stresses according to the text?
A.Cut tobacco plants made weaker sounds than drought-stressed ones.
B.Tomato plants reacted to different stresses with the same sound.
C.Cut tomato plants produced more sounds than water-hungry ones.
D.Tobacco plants made louder sounds than tomato plants when short of water.
【3】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5?
A.Farmers imagine what the future agriculture will be like.
B.Farmers have contributed a lot to the research.
C.Farmers can apply the result of the research to agriculture.
D.Farmers will face lots of challenges in the future.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A.A nature magazine. B.A novel. C.A diary. D.A guidebook.
29、The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 【1】 By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds.
1. Curiosity
Your children need to be deeply curious. Encourage kids to cook with you. Ask kids, “What ingredients(配料) can we add to make these pancakes even better next time?” And then try them out. 【2】 What could we try next time?
2. Creativity
True creativity is the ability to take something existing and create something new from it. We can give kids chances to think about materials in new ways. 【3】 Experimenting with materials to create something new can go a long way in helping them develop their creativity.
3. Interpersonal Skills
Understanding how others feel can be so challenge for kids. We know what’s going on inside our own head, but what about others? 【4】 We can do this in real life or ask questions about characters in stories. “Why do you think she’s crying?” “Can you tell how that man is feeling by looking at his face?” “If someone were to do that to you, how would you feel?”
4. Self Expression
Being able to communicate ideas in a meaningful way is a valuable skill. 【5】. You may find that your child is attracted by one more than another.
A.Did those ingredients make the pancakes better?
B.And we can’t ignore science education.
C.There are a dozen different things you can do with them.
D.So how can we help our kids prepare for jobs that don’t yet exist?
E.Being able to read people helps kids from misreading a situation and jumping to false conclusions.

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Hundreds of years ago, Charles Darwin predicted that facial expressions of emotion are 【1】. If you’ve ever seen an episode of the popular US TV drama Lie To Me, you will really understand facial expressions. The leading actor of the show, Dr. Cal Lightman has spent 20 years studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions, which allows him to point out other people’s studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions which allows him to point out other people’s 【2】 and on many occasions, to be skilled at tricking in order to get the truth.
Is there really much truth behind this science of 【3】 human emotions through expressions? Paul Ekman, a(n) 【4】 psychologist whose work focuses on mapping facial expressions, is Lie To Me’s scientific advisor and the following are some of his explanations.
Hand-to-face gesture indicates a lie.
Each micro-expression is unique to 【5】 specific emotions because the person is often unaware of doing it. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are lying when someone uses a hand to hide part of his face. The person could be holding back information but you may better consider looking at other more important clues rather than just the simple hand-to-face gesture.
A liar refuses eye contact.
People look away when they are thinking carefully and considering each word before it is spoken, not just when they are 【6】 an excuse. Oblique eyebrows are a very reliable 【7】of sadness and few people can make this 【8】 expression, so it is actually never faked.
Guilty knowledge technique is 【9】.
Lightman often uses the guilty knowledge technique, mentioning something that only the guilty person will know about and show a(n)【10】. This is often used in polygraph exams: “Was the person strangled, shot or stabbed to death?” Only the killer knows and is likely to respond physiologically when the actual weapon is mentioned.
