26、 (CNN) — A 12 -year-old girl who had a feeling that she might be quite clever has taken a test and proved she was absolutely right.
Lydia Sebastian achieved the top score of 162 on Mensa’s Cattell III B paper, showing she has a higher IQ than well-known geniuses Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. The comparison doesn't sit well with the British student, who’s currently in Year 8 at a selective girl’s grammar school in Essex, England.
“I don't think I can be compared to such great intellectuals as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. They’ve achieved so much. I don’t think it’s right”, Lydia told CNN.
To explain Lydia’s mark’s level, the top adult score in the Cattell III B test, which mainly tests verbal(语言) reasoning, is 161. A top 2% score —which allows entry to Mensa, the club for those with high IQs —would be 148 or over. Lydia scored 162, placing her in the top 1% of the population.
Lydia’s not quite sure what she wants to do when she leaves school, although she’s leaning toward something based on Maths, because it’s one of her favorite subjects. “All I’m going to do is work as hard as I can, and see where that gets me,” she said.
【1】The reason why Lydia wanted to have an IQ test was that _______,
A. her parents strongly wanted her to do so.
B. she felt that she might have a high EQ.
C. all people around thought that she was smart.
D. the grammar school advised her to do so.
【2】Which of the following can best take the place of the underlined words in the second paragraph?
A. be connected with.
B. be accepted by.
C. be satisfied with.
D. be refused by.
【3】What is Lydia’s plan about the future ?
A. She has the possibility of doing something on Maths in the future.
B. She doesn’t have to work hard with her high IQ.
C. She is quite sure about what to do in the future.
D. She will drop out of the grammar school.
【4】It can be implied from the passage that ______.
A. No one has achieved a higher IQ than Lydia.
B. Only adults with high IQs can enter Mensa.
C. Whoever has a high IQ can enter Mensa.
D. Mary whose IQ score is 150 can enter Mensa.
27、 Mark Twain said that “habit is habit, and not to be flung(扔) out the window by anyone, but coaxed (劝诱)downstairs a step at a time.”【1】
On any given day, countless numbers of us get out of bed and determine to begin to change a given behavior “today.”【2】However, a vast majority of people fail and are soon doing whatever it was they thought they shouldn't be doing.
After considerable research, some researchers believe that behavior changes usually do not succeed if they start with the change itself.【3】Once you have analyzed all the factors that influence what you do, you must decide which behavior-change technique will work best for you.
According to the psychologist Albert Ellis, most emotional problems and related behaviors arise from irrational (不理性的) statements that people make to themselves when events in their lives are different from what they would like them to be.【4】By changing this irrational “disastrous” self-talk into positive statements about what is really going on, you can increase the probability that positive behaviors will occur.
Positive self-talk might be expressed as follows: “I really didn’t study enough for the exam. I just need to prepare for the next test.” Such self-talk will help you to recover quickly from disappointment and take positive steps to correct the situation.【5】
A.Instead, we must go beyond and prepare ourselves for the long-term change or that eventual change.
B.For example, you say to yourself, “I can't believe I failed that easy exam, I’m so stupid.”
C.Many people pick up some bad habits unconsciously that should be flung out the window.
D.Negative emotions can’t be avoided and sometimes bring us some unexpected benefits.
E.Gradual changes give you time to get rid of a bad habit and therefore improve your chances of success.
F.Some other ways like stopping negative thoughts can also help you move on to positive changes.
G.Whether it be exercising more or drinking less, we start out with high expectations.
28、 Time, wars and natural disasters have a bad effect on the artistic and cultural objects in the world. More than 1,000 years ago, a fire destroyed the Library of Alexandria in Egypt. In 1755, an earthquake destroyed Ribeira Palace in Lisbon, Portugal, along with artworks inside. In modern times, the Taliban destroyed the huge Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan.
As we all know, museums play an important part in our daily lives. They keep evidence of culture and history and exhibit great works. A major goal of most museums in the world is to make sure that important historical objects do not disappear forever. The Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, holds 1,250 pieces of ancient Greek and Roman sculptures. These objects have inspired artists and historians for many years. So the museum is working to make a complete and permanent(永久的) record of the artworks.
The project is an effort of both the museum and the scientists from Indiana University in the United States. The team is using technology to create digital copies(数字复制品) of the Uffizi’s ancient sculptures.
The process is called photogrammetry. At one time, this process was slow and expensive. But not anymore, said Professor Robert Frischer. He said photogrammetry is now much faster and cheaper. Now they can gather 3-D data(数据) on a life-size sculpture in half an hour and they can process the data just in a couple of hours.
The images allow the viewer to examine the sculpture from all sides. And when the viewer zooms in(用变焦距镜头放大), the image becomes clearer. The Uffizi hopes to have the collection completed and available on the Internet by 2020.
【1】What can we learn about some artworks?
A. They have been badly damaged.
B. They were destroyed by accident.
C. They were not protected by humans.
D. Most of them are kept in Italy now.
【2】Why do the Uffizi Gallery and Indiana University work together?
A. To build the largest museum.
B. To create long-lasting artworks.
C. To introduce some ancient sculptures.
D. To inspire more artists and historians.
【3】What can we learn about photogrammetry?
A. It is still expensive.
B. It is a time-saving step now.
C. It does great harm to the artworks.
D. It was invented by Robert Frischer.
【4】What can we learn about the images?
A. It's impossible to make them larger.
B. They will take the place of real sculptures.
C. People can enjoy them online in the future.
D. They can only show the front of the sculpture.
29、A travel journal is one of the best ways to keep a long voyage in memory. Many details that don’t seem important while you are writing your travel journal often turn out to be so memorable.
【1】. When you are on a busy journey, it is easy to forget to write. You may promise yourself that you will write later, but that almost never happens. Take a few minutes every day and put down your memories. 【2】.
Use your “down time” for your travel journal. There is a surprising amount of sitting around while traveling. You can always put down a few lines in your travel journal when you are on trains, waiting for planes, drying your laundry, or waiting in line.
At the beginning of your journal, write down the day, where you are, who you are with, maybe even the weather and what you eat. 【3】. Years later when you read your journal, you will know exactly what you were doing on that day.
Focus on writing about how you feel. Listing facts and figures is fine but that isn’t why you traveled. A long journey is a time for self-reflection. Memories of these feelings fade quickly with time. 【4】.
【5】. Whenever you use a ticket for a train or a museum or a ride, tape the stubs to your journal. They are pieces of history from your journey. Years later you can look at the ticket stubs and see exactly what you were doing on a specific day and how much it cost.
A.Keep ticket stubs.
B.Book your ticket in advance.
C.You’d better write down as much as possible.
D.These are the first details people tend to forget.
E.It doesn’t have to be long, just on a regular basis.
F.Get into the habit of writing your travel journal every day.
G.Writing about those experiences while the memories are fresh is important.

31、课文内容填空
Middle English is the name 【1】(give) to the English used from around the 12th to the 15th centuries. Many things played a part in the 【2】(develop) of this new type of English. The most important 【3】(贡献) was from the Normans, a 【4】 (French speak) people who【5】 (打败) England and took control of the country in 1066. 【6】, the Norman Conquest did not affect English as much as the Angles and the Saxons’ victory about 600 years earlier, which led to Old English 【7】 (replace) Celtic. Even though the Normans spoke French for the e【8】 250 years they ruled England, French did not replace English 【9】 the first language. On the other hand, the English language did borrow many words from French. This resulted in even more words with similar meanings, such as answer (from Old English) and reply (from Old French). It is interesting to learn 【10】 the words for animals and meat developed.
