26、Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.

Perhaps the best answer lies in  our genetic makeup as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.

Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. W ithout knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.

Exploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin -offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick  pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products(副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!

While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.

While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.

【1】Why does the author mention the questions?

A. To express his doubts.

B. To compare different ideas.

C. To introduce points for discussion.

D. To describe the conditions on Earth.

【2】What is the reason for exploring space based on?

A. Humans are nature born to do so.

B. Humans have the tendency to fight.

C. Humans may find new sources of food.

D. Humans don't like to stay in the same place.

【3】The underlined word “spin-­offs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ___.

A. survival chances

B. unexpected benefits

C. potential resources

D. physical possessions

【4】Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?

A. Space exploration has created many wonders.

B. Space exploration provides the best value for money.

C. Space exploration can benefit science and technology.

D. Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.

27、In the 19th century, an Arab physician known as Zuhr Ibn conducted some animal research to assess the surgical procedures that could be applicable in humans. Since then, animal testing has been considered to be the most efficient way to develop new drugs. New medical treatments and drugs are tested in animals first to determine their effectiveness or safety levels before they are finally tested on humans. However, it remains controversial whether it is morally right or wrong to use animals for medical or commercial experiments.

Use of animals for medical purposes is seen to be necessary by many scientists. Researchers usually begin their trials using rats. If the tests are successful, further tests are done on monkeys before using human beings. For testing, such tiered(分层的) rounds are important because it reduces the level of error and any negative side effects. Some argue that animal testing has contributed to many life-saving cures and treatments and there is no adequate alternative to testing on a living, whole-body system. Moreover, there are regulations for animal testing that limit the misuse of animals during research, which serves as evidence that animals are well taken care of and treated well instead of being intentionally harmed.

However, some other experts and animal welfare groups have opposed such practice, terming it as inhumane(不人道的) and claiming it should be banned. According to Humane Society International, animals used in experiments are commonly subjected to force feeding, radiation exposure, operations to deliberately cause damage and frightening situations to create depression and anxiety. They also hold the view that animals are very different from human beings and therefore make poor test subjects. Drugs that pass animal tests are not necessarily safe.   Animal tests on the arthritis(关节炎) drug Vioxx showed that it would have a protective effect on the hearts of mice, yet the drug went on to cause more than 27,000 heart attacks before being pulled from the market.

It’s safe to say that using animals for tests will continue to be debated in many years to come. Despite the benefits of animal testing, some of the animal welfare organizations’ concerns need to be addressed with adequate regulations to ensure that animals are treated humanely.

【1】Why is animal testing considered necessary?

A．Because rats are more similar to humans than monkeys.

B．Because other testing alternatives may not replace the need for animals.

C．Because animal testing can spare humans any side effect.

D．Because animal testing has been in practice since the 19th century.

【2】What suffering do animals go through during experiments?

A．Eating poisonous food.

B．Being killed deliberately.

C．Breathing in polluted air.

D．Having unnecessary operations.

【3】What does the example Vioxx in paragraph 3 tell us?

A．Arthritis is hard to cure.

B．Some drugs need to be withdrawn from the market.

C．Animals can not necessarily produce accurate results.

D．A drug should be tested many more times before its release.

【4】What action will the author probably agree with?

A．Experts try hard to determine whether animal tests are harmful.

B．The authorities issue a new law to guarantee animal rights during research.

C．Scientists reduce the number of animals used in research.

D．Relevant organizations show more concern about the animals’ welfare.

28、   Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ has led Great Britain through many tough times throughout her 68-year sovereignty (在位). But never, during her reign (统治), has an issue disrupted the British public as much as the current pandemic of COVID-19.

By April 6, the UK had had 47,806 confirmed cases. Among them, crucially, is British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who has recently been hospitalized. With the country entering its peak infection period, the Queen made only her fifth televised address to the nation, aside from her annual Christmas broadcast, on April 5. The four other times she has made such an address have been to mark the Gulf War, the death of Princess Diana of Wales, the death of her mother and her Diamond Jubilee (登基六十周年纪念).

Accord win to Jonny Dymond, the BBC’s royal correspondent, “The Palace could have played it safe, stressed unity and given thanks. But this speech was designed to reassure (使安心) and inspire.”

In her pre-recorded statement, the Queen focused on the commitment of her subjects. “We have seen heart-warming stories of people coming together to help others.”

As well as thanking frontline workers, she pushed a message of comfort and motivation. “Together, we are tackling (处理) this disease, and I want to reassure you that if we remain united and resolute (坚决的), then we will overcome it.”

“We should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure, better days will return; we will be with our friends again; we will be with our families again; we will meet again.”

Following the speech, people throughout the country voiced their admiration for her moving words.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan praised the Queen’s focus on frontline healthcare workers, and councilor (议员) Oliver Cooper wrote, “Nobody could have rallied (振作) the country,, the Commonwealth, and the world the way the Queen did.”

Some Internet users even shared how they cried after the speech, while others wrote the words of the national anthem. God Save the Queen.

Indeed, the wisdom of Britain’s 93-ycar-old monarch (君主) offered hope to the millions of Britons under lockdown.

【1】What role does the second paragraph play?

A.To offer the latest information about the pandemic in the UK.

B.To inform the reader of the Queen’s televised address.

D.To indicate the importance of the Queen’s recent speech.

【2】What does the phrase “her subjects” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

29、   Researcher Ramon Llopis of the University of Valencia is a member of the international group behind Football Research in an Enlarged Europe (FREE), the aim of which is to develop a better understanding of football as a social and cultural phenomenon in Europe. The starting point is the “strong belief that football has important things to say about Europe and its citizens”.

Llopis tells us that the research points to football as “an important presence in the daily lives of many Europeans. Even people who are not particularly interested in the sport cannot avoid the discussions it creates, regardless of age, class and region.” He adds that “football is more than an activity which is done for enjoyment. It increases a sense of collective identity (集体认同).”

Football is a topic of exchange and conversation between Europeans of different ages and social classes. Based on the surveys carried out in the early stages of the project, 63.3%of people who call themselves football fans have chatted about football with someone from another European country in the past twelve months, 70%of football fans watch matches and summaries from leagues (联赛) outside of their country of origin, and 53.4% habitually follow the results and news from other European leagues on the Internet and social media.

So, rather than consider professional football as an economic activity or a healthy activity for both players and fans, public authorities should be aware of its huge socio-cultural impact. They should also pay attention to the increasing bad feeling surrounding football as a result of its commercialization (商业化), since it is causing many to turn away from the game.

【1】What can we learn about FREE from Paragraph 1?

A.It studies the impact of football on world culture.

B.It educates the public about the history of football.

C.It brings together researchers from several countries.

D.It is a project carried out by the University of Valencia.

【2】What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A.The history of football. B.The power of football.

C.The growth of football. D.The standard of football.

【3】How does the author explain that football is a big part of Europeans' conversation?

A.By using research findings.

B.By providing examples

C.By telling true stories.

D.By following the order of time.

【4】What’s the author’s attitude to the future of football in Europe?

A.Hopeful. B.Uncertain. C.Satisfied. D.Worried.

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.
