26、Big Bubbles

We all love bubbles. They float through the air like little glass balls, shining with colors and light. You can make bubbles with dishwashing soap and a paper cup. Soap makes the water stick together in a round shape. The bubbles you blow will be really big!

Here’s what you will need:

• A large bowl • A spoon • 4 cups of water

• 5 tablespoons of dishwashing soap

• A pair of scissors

• A paper cup

Follow these steps(步骤) to make big bubbles:

1. Fill the bowl with the water.

2. Add the dishwashing soap into the water and mix them together.

3. Cut a small hole in the bottom of the paper cup. This is the hole that you will blow through.

4. Dip the top rim of the cup into the soapy water. Slowly lift the cup out of the bowl. There should be a thin “window” of soapy water filling the open space of the cup.

5. Slowly put your mouth up to the hole in the bottom of the cup. Gently blow air through the hole. A big bubble will rise into the air! For  a party, you can make a bowl of soapy water and a paper cup bubble-blower for each friend. If your friends do step 4 and 5 again and again, just think of how many bubbles you can make together!

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A.People can make bubble-blowers. B.Bubbles are shining with colors.

C.It is easy to make big bubbles. D.Everyone loves big bubbles.

【2】Which step tells you to add dishwashing soap into the water?

28、   People born in winter are more likely to suffer mental health disorders, according to a recent study carried out by researchers at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee.

Researchers raised baby mice from birth to weaning in either “summer” light cycles of 16 hours of light and 8 hours of dark or “winter” cycles of 8 hours of light and 16 hours of dark. A third group experienced 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark a day.

Then half the winter mice stayed in a winter cycle, while half switched to a summer schedule. The summer mice were similarly split. The mice raised in equal periods of light and dark were split into three groups, one of which stayed on the 12­hour schedule, one of which joined the winter group, and one of which joined the summer group.

After 28 days, it turns out the summer­born mice behaved the same whether they stayed on the summer cycle or switched to winter. But among the winter­born mice, those that stayed in winter kept their previous schedule, while those that switched to summer stayed active for an extra hour and a half, which indicates that mice born and weaned in a winter light cycle showed dramatic disruptions in their biological clocks.

The finding is the first of its kind in mammals, and it could explain why people born in winter are at higher risk for mental health disorders.

“We know that the biological clock regulates mood in humans,” said study researcher McMahon. “If the mechanism similar to the one that we found in mice operates in humans, then it could not only have an effect on a number of behavioral disorders, but also have a more general effect on personality.”

【1】What’s the main idea of the text?

A.The biological clock regulates mood in humans.

B.Being born in winter has a negative effect on people’s mental health.

C.People born in winter are at higher risk for physical health disorders.

D.The length of light will influence the behavior of the mice.

A.divided B.torn

C.hit D.ended

【3】Who is probably the reader of the passage?

A.A job­hunter. B.A student in the university.

C.A newly­married couple. D.An experienced dentist.

29、LONDON (Reuters) – Organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep. That is what Gabriel Gold prefers, and he is willing to pay for it. If this is not possible, the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket buying organic food.

“Organic product is always better,” Gold said. “The food is free of pesticides(杀虫剂), and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is tasty.” Gold is one of the growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are depending on more like him as they grow their organic food business. But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic product? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences— but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic product. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand.” The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market,” said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.

【1】More and more people in Britain are buying organic food because__________.

A．they are getting richer.

B．they can get the food anywhere.

C．they consider the food free of pollution.

D．they like home-grown fruit.

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE about most organic product sold in Britain?

A．It grows indoors throughout the year.

B．It is produced outside Britain.

C．It is grown on family farms.

D．It is produced on large farms.

【3】What is the meaning of the underlined words “the organic trend” in the second paragraph?

A．Growing interest in organic food.

B．Better quality of organic food

C．Rising market for organic food.

D．Higher prices of organic food.

【4】What is the best title for this news story?

A．Good qualities of organic food.

B．The making of organic food in Britain.

C．Organic food— to import or not?

D．Organic food—healthy, or just for the wealthy?

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。

Roland was no exception. He was a magnificent German Shepherd (德国牧羊犬), a little lazy and overweight though. He loved to doze in the backyard. He yawned and stretched his body as he heard the slowly approaching footsteps of Mrs. Proudfoot. “Come have your lunch dear!” said Mrs. Proudfoot with her usual fondness for him and he wagged his tail affectionately in return.

Roland was licking the last piece of meat in his plate when the doorbell burst into music. Mrs. Proudfoot hurried to answer the door. Roland stood alert by her side.

“Good noon Mrs. Proudfoot”. It was Sam, her teenage neighbor. “My! My! You look pale! What happened?” asked Mrs. Proudfoot with genuine worry. She immediately waved him in and closed the door behind. Mrs. Proudfoot was a lonely widow, but was well loved in her neighborhood especially by kids, though she had no kids to call her own.

Once encouraged, Sam disclosed his dilemma. “My friend Barry lost a rare book of school library. It costs150 dollars, but he has only 55 dollars and his poor parents can’t afford to pay the rest. Barry is working parttime but that’s far from enough.” With a dramatic sigh he continued, “If he didn’t refund the loss before the end of term, he will be dismissed from final exams. That will ruin his future! I have to help him, whatever it takes. He is my best friend. “

“Don’t worry, Sammy. You want me to pay.” but Mrs. Proudfoot was interrupted. “No, No, Mrs. Proudfoot. This is not what I came here for. I’ll work for you. Would you favor me to walk your dog please? For 2 dollars a day.” He looked up with begging eyes.

Mrs. Proudfoot clapped her hands in agreement, “That can’t be better! I’ve been worried’ about Roland lately. He does need some exercise! It’s nice of you to make such an offer.”

Sam thanked her over and over, “I will start tomorrow morning.”

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。

Sam arrived very early the next morning.
