26、Almost everyone has heard the expression “the calm before the storm.” It is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument.

British sailors coined the phrase in the late 1600s; they noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become still and the winds would drop.

Science has given us the reason. According to US website HowStuffWorks, a calm period occurs because many storms, tornadoes and hurricanes draw in all the warm and humid(湿热的) air from the surrounding area. As this air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts as “fuel for the storm, like petrol in a car”. Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level. As the air goes down, it becomes warm and dry. Warm and dry air is stable, so once it covers an area, it causes a calm period before the storm. This same process also causes the “eye of the storm” in hurricanes and tornadoes. In these conditions, the calm occurs in the center of the storm because of the strong rotating (旋转的) winds.

The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is. First count how many seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, roughly three seconds equal one kilometer. So, for example, if you count nine seconds, the storm is about three kilometers away. A good method is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away.

However, due to the complexity of storm system, not all storms take place after calm. Given the right conditions, some storms announce themselves with heavy rain and fierce winds.

So, your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area. That's the most reliable way to predict the next display(展示) of nature's temper (脾气).

【1】What is the function of Paragraph 3?

A．To describe how the eye of the storm comes into being.

B．To stress why tornadoes and hurricanes are destructive.

C．To explain why a peaceful period occurs before some storms.

D．To remind how dangerous a storm can be in certain situations.

【2】If you count fifteen seconds between a lightening flash and a thunder clap, the storm may be .

A．one kilometer away

B．three kilometers away

C．four kilometers away

D．five kilometers away

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A．Heavy storms don't usually last long.

B．It is not always quiet before a storm.

C．Storms have a big influence on our life.

D．Weather reports often fail to predict a storm.

【4】Where is this text most likely from?

A．A travel journal.

B．A science fiction.

C．A literature review.

D．A geography magazine.

27、If you’ve been in public in the past year or so, chances are you’ve noticed someone breaking dining etiquette (礼仪) that would seem second-nature to any adult. Why does our dining etiquette seem to be at the lowest point of all time right now?

“Overall, there is much less feeling about the common good, which means caring about your neighbor—whether at home or in a restaurant,” said Steven, who writes articles for USA Today.

Take the use of cellphone at the table for example. While a 2015 survey by the Pew Research Center found that 38 percent of those surveyed thought it was acceptable to use their phones while dining out, the increasing number of cellphone bans in restaurants shows that restaurants aren’t putting up with it.

However, some see the growing use of cellphones as a sign that manners change alongside our society.

“Manners change,” said the writer behind a food site The Takeout. “What we consider improper isn’t set in stone.” She points out the other “rules” that have since become outdated nowadays, like saying “Sir” and “Ma’am” as proof of this change.

Yes, traditional manners are yet another thing being redefined by youth. “Younger people are growing up in a world with more flexible rules, and this spreads to the dining table,” said Daniel Levine, director of global trends consultancy The Avant－Guide Institute.

Whether you prefer high-end restaurants or a fast-casual meal, the biggest reason behind the decline of manners may just be a numbers game.

“I believe it is more likely for people to break dining ‘rules’ because they go out and eat more often,” said Diane Gottsman, owner of The Protocol School of Texas. “Years ago, people stayed home and sat around the family table. Today, there are more people in the workforce, which makes it more affordable for socializing and eating out. With new chance comes the possibility for more dining problems.”

【1】What did the 2015 survey find?

A．Many people accepted using phones at the table.

B．Cellphones were banned in most restaurants.

C．Most of the surveyed people used phones while eating out.

D．Few restaurants show concern about using phones while eating.

【2】Why was the example of “Sir” and “Ma’am” mentioned?

A．To show modern people are becoming impolite.

B．To explain dining rules in high-end restaurants.

C．To prove dining etiquette changes through time.

D．To argue young people are making dining rules today.

【3】According to Diane Gottsman, people forget their dining manners more often because ________.

A．they think they are unimportant

B．they grew up with flexible rules

C．they have more chances to eat out

D．they must hurry meals to get back to work

【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text?

A．To introduce changes in dining manners.

B．To encourage people to have dining manners.

C．To report survey findings on dining manners.

D．To discuss the reasons for poor dining manners

28、Five steps to better handwriting

Some kids love handwriting, but others hate it when it’s time to put pen to paper. Maybe they are worried about their handwriting. Are you one of them? 【1】Here are five steps that really work!

Get a great grasp

Try this — hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard? But when you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. 【2】Hold it in place with your thumb(拇指), and your index and middle fingers.

Let the lines be your guide

Lined paper is your friend! Those lines can help you create letters that are of the right size and proportion (比例). 【3】Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely. Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.

Slow down

If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. If you rush, it’s hard to control where you stop and start your letters.

Lower the pressure (压力)

【4】That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. Try relaxing and don’t hold the pencil too hard.

【5】

Lots of games need you to write or draw pictures. So even though it’s not schoolwork, you’re still using the skills you need to control your pencil better.

A. Play games

B. Ask for advice

C. You’ve been writing since you were a little kid.

D. So“a”should be half the height of a capital“A”.

E. Some kids press down really hard when they write.

F. The best way to hold a pencil is to rest it next to the base of your thumb.

G. The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting.

29、   I was diagnosed(诊断)with cancer last June. Finding out that I had breast cancer felt like I’d been locked up in a prison cell, but I later found something unexpected: freedom.

Tests and procedures followed. Once the daily treatments started, I was tired out. The tiredness that came with cancer was not like any kind of tiredness I’d known before.

Then the magic happened.

I started to realize that this life change had brought an unexpected gift. The usual pressures of life gave way to a different kind of stress, but it came with self-discovery. I do what I can and don’t care about the rest. With the disease, decisions come more easily, and things that I’d previously weighted more heavily no longer matter as much. I don’t need a perfect home. What does matter now is having family and friends and a husband who can shoulder this new responsibility with me.

The doctor says my situation is very good and there’s a 91 percent chance that I’ll still be alive in 10 years. I look forward to simple things like my garden this spring, and going back to work when I’m healthy again. I’m also imagining the joy of getting my quiet and modest life back. It’s inspiring and there are lots of people there with me. And the professionals are really good at what they do.

I used to wonder how it would feel to be told I had cancer. Sure, my first reaction was fear, panic, sorrow, and anger. Then I found my strength. The fear is still there, but to my amazement, I am handling it. “You got this,” people say encouragingly.

【1】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?

A.She felt as if she had lost her freedom. B.She was unable to walk out of the cell.

C.Cancer gave her something unexpected. D.Cancer cost her the ability to move freely.

【2】We can know from the article that during her treatment, the author  

A.was too tired to bear the treatment any more B.found that she could handle the treatment easily

C.grew more peaceful and valued her family more D.learned to be in a good state and free of pressure

【3】What is the author’s attitude towards her future life?

A.Positive. B.Hopeless. C.Doubtful. D.Concerned.

【4】What is the main purpose of this article?

A.To help people learn to let go of stress in life. B.To remind people to take care of their bodies.

C.To encourage people to shoulder responsibilities. D.To inspire people to learn from her experiences.

30、   Crowdsourcing is an interesting new application of the saying "Many hands make light work".

A Bad Idea

Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.

The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.

Who's to【3】 ? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited.

"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".

The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18-to 21-year-olds and a group of 35-to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate【5】into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 【6】message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 【7】.

It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.

The【9】is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and【10】time before they returned to their main tasks.
