26、Pandas’ Dietary Secret
Pandas are one of the world’s most fascinating vegetarians. They have a meat eater’s digestive system, yet almost rely on bamboo -- all day, every day. 【1】
To understand how pandas live on such a diet, researchers tracked pandas in the Qinling Mountains and observed what they ate for six years. The team also analyzed the panda diet in depth by measuring the amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and calcium -- the three most essential nutrients for mammals(哺乳动物)-- in the plant they are.
“There is strong evidence that animals try their best to meet their nutritional needs,” a researcher said. “In areas with only one eatable plant, animals may try to eat different parts of the same food.”
【2】 The two bamboo species in Qinling, wood bamboo and arrow bamboo, grow at different elevations and sprout(发芽)at different times of the year.
In spring, pandas feed on young wood bamboo shoots, which are rich in nitrogen and phosphorous. 【3】 However, both species’ shoots have low calcium levels, pushing pandas to eat young arrow bamboo leaves which are rich in calcium in mid-July.
However, bamboo leaves fall heavily in winter, and their nutrient levels drop. 【4】Records from Qinling show that among 25 cases of dead or ill pandas over the past 37 years, more than half occurred in March and April, right after the hardships of winter.
A.Researchers are interested in how evolution has made pandas what it is like now.
B.Recently, a new study revealed how these animals survive on a bamboo diet that contains hardly any protein.
C.In June, the wood bamboo shoots mature and contain fewer nutrients, so pandas move to higher elevations to eat young arrow bamboo shoots,
D.However, pandas’ digestive system works in an unexpected way.
E.That’s exactly what the pandas seem to do.
F.This causes high death rates among pandas.
27、Earth is far more alive than we previously thought, according to “deep life” studies that reveal a rich ecosystem beneath our feet that is almost twice the size of all the world's oceans. Regardless of extreme heat, no light and intense pressure, scientists estimate if has between 15 billion and 23 billion tonnes of microorganisms. “It's like finding a whole new reservior of life on Earth,” said Karen Lloyd, an associate professor at the University of Tennessee.
Results suggest 70 percent of Earth's bacteria and archaea exist in the subsurface. One organism found 2. 5 kilometers below the surface has been buried for millions of years and may not rely on all energy from the sun. Also, the methanogen (产甲烷菌) has found a way to create methane in this environment, which it may not use to reproduce or divide, but use to replace or repair broken parts. Lengths of their lives were completely different. Some microorganisms have been alive for thousands of years, barely moving except with shifts in earthquakes or eruptions. They're just active inside, with less energy than people thought possible to support life.
The team consists of 1, 200 scientists from 52 countries in disciplines ranging from geology and microbiology to chemistry and physics. The scientists say they will present their findings before the American Geophysical Union’s annual meeting opens this week, which are made possible by technical advances on drills and microscopes.
The scientists have been wondering about the point beyond which life can't exist, but the deeper they dig, the more life they find. There is a temperature maximum - currently 122 ℃ - but they believe this record will be broken if they keep exploring and developing mor advanced instruments.
Questions remain, including how the microbes interact with chemical processes, and what this might reveal about how life and Earth coevolved.
【1】What do the scientists find about the underground microorganisms?
A.They can’t reproduce and divide.
B.They’re the oldest living things.
C.Some of them consume no energy.
D.Some of them almost always keep still.
【2】What can we learn about the reseach from paragraph 3?
A.It lasts for aound one year.
B.It is conducted in 52 countries.
C.It involves efforts from multiple fields.
D.It promotes technical development.
【3】Why do the scientists drill deep?
A.To find the depth limit of life.
B.To break their previous record.
C.To discover more ancient microorganisms.
D.To detect the highest subsurface temperature.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.Earth’s Depths Are Full of Life
B.Organisms Live Better Underground
C.Earth Is Far Beyond Human Exploration
D.Subsurface Life Differs from That on Land
28、It was late one evening. I can’t remember what it was about, but my Dad and I had a very big argument when my mother was away. We both said things we didn’t mean, and in the end I said, “I’m leaving.” And he said, “Good. The sooner, the better.”
I threw a few things in the suitcase and closed the door violently behind me, not knowing where I was going. After walking aimlessly for 20 minutes, I stopped at a local supermarket. Then my phone rang. It was my mom calling. She said, “Hey, Mary. Where are you? Dad is worried about you.”
“How can he worry about me? I’ve been away for nearly half an hour, but he didn’t call.” I said with annoyance. My anger returned and I remembered all the hateful things he’d shouted to me. “Listen, Mom. You can tell Dad that I’m fine. I’ll call you tomorrow.” I said and hung up.
I walked around the supermarket, trying to get my thoughts together. By the time I paid for my purchases, it had been much later than I used to be out alone. When I left the supermarket, a large piece of white paper was in front of me. On the piece of white paper were these words: “Please come home! I miss you and I’m worried about you!”
Then a car pulled up beside me. Hanging out of the window was my Dad. Besides him, smiling gently, sat my mom. And that’s when I started laughing. I laughed so hard that I cried. Despite(尽管) my best effort to run away from home, my father finally managed to track me down. I couldn’t leave now, not with him sitting there with caring eyes.

29、In recent times, vegetarianism has become more popular, but it is still not the best option for many. If you may be thinking about removing meat from your diet but do not want to go completely meat-free, perhaps try going meat-free for just one day a week.
Sharon Palmer, a registered dietitian and author of Plant Powered for Life, discusses how “research consistently shows that plant-based diets are linked with a lower risk of obesity, hypertension, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer”.
She says, “Even going meatless one day a week can make a difference, as you increase all of those whole plant foods-beans, wholegrains, nuts, seeds, vegetables, fruits-and decrease more animal foods, in particular red and processed meat. A high intake of these foods has been linked with increased disease risk.”
Deciding to have a more plant-based diet also increases your intake of fiber, vitamins, healthy fats and minerals. To help to do this, stocking your fridge with a variety of beans, seasonable veggies, wholegrains, herbs, nuts and seeds is Palmer’s secret to eating more plant-based meals.
Palmer’s other recommendation is “plantifying” your favorite dishes. “Just make your favorite entrees or meals plant-based, with a few swaps. If you love Taco Tuesday, make your tacos veggie (素食) by skipping the meat and serving black beans or a vegetarian mushroom with tofu filling. If you love Indian food, skip the chicken masala (马萨拉调味酱) and have chickpea (鹰嘴豆) masala instead. These will be foods you already love and are familiar with.”
Her biggest advice is to pick one day a week to follow through this and mark it on your calendar. “I love the Meatless Monday idea because people often start their best behavior at the beginning of the week... However, there may be a better day of the week for you. So just plan it,” Palmer said.

A.firmly believe Palmer’s advice
B.better understanding Palmer’s theory
C.buy Palmer’s popular book
D.know the popularity of Palmer’s advice
【2】To plantify your favorite dishes, you can probably ______.
A.try going meat-free one day a week
B.stock your fridge with whole plant foods
C.use vegetable fillings, not meat for dumplings
D.plan a meatless day of the week as you like
【3】According to the text, Palmer’s advice is_______.
A.theoretical
B.practical
C.boring
D.unrealistic

33、 I'm Robin Woods. I'm always the first to make a good joke and _______ my work away at the end of the day. But somehow, I'm _______ the first to be picked for teams and plays. I have always been the outcast,_______ and alone.
“This year our play will be the story of Robin Hood and his Merry Men,” our teacher, Miss Goody, ___________ the whole class. “Who would like to be Robin Hood?” I ___________ my hand up into the air. Of course, everybody wanted the biggest and best part, especially bossy Bradley.
“_________ for a part and I’ll test you on Monday and decide who will be best for each part,” said Miss Goody, handing out pages of the script. “… And of course, we’ll need lots of trees to be the forest.”
“You’ll be a little baby bush…,” Bradley_______ me. “Or a teeny-tiny leaf.”
I_______ him and took a copy of the Robin Hood words and began my practicing on the way home.
On Monday I did some brilliant acting and I remembered all my _________. I got the part. Bradley got the part of Little John. Becky was one of the ladies-in-waiting. Jordan was the minstrel(吟游艺人), who told the________ in song with a little strum of the guitar every now and then.
We had three weeks to learn our parts. Becky offered to________ with me. She played Little John's part and gave me ________ on fighting. Bradley, who still really wanted to be Robin Hood, often came over to watch. He seemed to be waiting for me to make mistakes. I felt________, with knocking knees and cold feet. But I was determined to be the best Robin Hood ever. I had got the part of a hero and a hero I shall be.
At home, Granddad came to help me. He could play the guitar and even made up a minstrel dance. He was really getting into the minstrel’s________, which cheered me up and made learning my part much easier and funny.
In the final dress rehearsal that afternoon, Bradley was really getting carried away in that fighting-to-get-across-the-river________. He was shouting louder and louder and pushing harder and harder until he lost his ________ and fell off the bridge. He had hurt his ankle! Worse still, Jordan had got a flu. Probably we had to ________ that night’s performance for it was just impossible to find two new actors who could learn the parts before________ and, most importantly, could play the guitar. Girls wailed and sobbed. Boys sighed and shuffled their feet.
It was I that put forward a________:Granddad could play the part of the minstrel; Becky did the part of Little John and Carly could have her part as lady-in-waiting. Miss Goody sighed with relief. Everybody burst into tears of joy.

Rapidly advancing technology and its impact on education has been a subject of debate. How can schools equip students with the skills they need to succeed in a challenging job market?
Since technology is driving these changes, there is a theory that governments should keep focusing on STEM subjects. These are often referred to as “hard skills,” which are 【1】 in primary school and right through to university level. In the meantime, ‘soft skills’ are being 【2】.
This is a mistake. Much evidence suggests that soft skills are far more 【3】 to graduates in the long term. Research from Harvard University on the global job market has shown that STEM- related careers grew strongly between 1989 and 2000 but have slowed down since. In contrast, jobs in the creative industries----the sector probably most 【4】 with the need for soft skills---are growing rapidly. Soft skills are, in fact, increasingly in demand in the workplace: Google cites creativity, leadership 【5】 and communication skills as top requirements for both potential and current employees.
So why are soft skills so highly 【6】 for?
With the rapid evolution of technology, a focus on hard skills leaves students 【7】 to change, as these often have a short shelf life. According to research by World Economic Forum, more than one in four adults reports a mismatch between their skills and those needed for their job role. If soft skills are taught well, these skills should enable students to adapt to change more easily and progress further in their 【8】 career.
Of course, technical skills are important. But without the curriculum placing equal--- if not greater --- 【9】 on soft skills, our education systems are missing a huge trick. Hard skills may help a student get a job in a particular industry, but soft skills will help them disrupt it, achieving a wider 【10】 in their chosen field.

A huge milestone has just been reached in the field of artificial intelligence: AlphaGo, a program developed by Google’s DeepMind unit, has defeated legendary Go player Lee Se-dol in the first of five historic matches being held in Seoul, South Korea. Lee 【1】 after about three and a half hours, with 28 minutes and 28 seconds remaining on his clock. The series is the first time a professional 9-dan Go player has taken on a computer, and Lee is 【2】 for a $1 million prize.
“I was very surprised,”said Lee after the match.“I didn’t expect to lose. But I didn’t think AlphaGo would play the game in such a perfect manner.”DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis expressed“huge 【3】 for Lee Se-dol and his amazing skills.”calling the game“hugely exciting”and“very tense.”Team lead David Silver said it was an“amazing game of Go that really pushed AlphaGo to its 【4】.”
Go is an ancient Chinese board game that has long been considered one of the great 【5】faced by AI. While computer programs ow best the world’s leading human players of games like checkers and chess, the high level of intuition and 【6】required by Go has made it tough for computers to crack. DeepMind’s AlphaGo program is the most 【7】effort yet, using a complex system of deep neural networks and machine learning; it beat European champion Fan Hui last year, but Lee Se-dol is another 【8】 rival entirely.
“I don’t regret accepting this challenge,”said Lee.“I am in shock, I admit that, but what’s done is done. I enjoyed this game and look forward to the next. I think I failed on the opening layout so if I do a better job on the opening aspect I think I will be able to increase my 【9】 of winning.”Lee was surprised both by how strong AlphaGo’s opening was, and by some 【10】moves.

39、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。续写的词数应为80左右。
A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that people hardly visited. The house was very old and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did come out he would not say hello to neighbors or passers by but simply just glare(瞪眼看)at them.
The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy's parents told him to stay away from the house. A lot of the other neighborhood children were told the same from their parents.
As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. " What do you want?" the old man said. The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota(份额) to meet for school with selling the magazines.
"Uh, sir, I uh am selling these magazines and uh I was wondering if you would like to buy one." The old man just stared at the boy. The boy could see inside the old man's house and saw that he had dog figurines(小狗雕像) on the wall. "Do you collect dogs?" the little boy asked. "Yes, I have many collections in my house. They are my family here. They are all I have." The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul. "Well, I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much." The old man was ready to close the door on the boy and said, "No boy, I don't need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye."
The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the big house that he owned. The boy went home and then had an idea. He had a little dog figurine that he got some years ago from an aunt. The figurine did not mean nearly as much to him since he had a real live dog and a large family.
Paragraph 1: The boy headed back down to the old man's house with the figurine.

Paragraph 2: From that day on something changed inside the old man.

41、As more and more Chinese tourists travel abroad, some of their behavior is raising eyebrows.
According to the latest 2012 LivingSocial survey, Chinese tourists were recently ranked second behind US citizens in a global poll of the worst travelers.
Liu Deqian, researcher and deputy director of the Tourism Research Center at Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that Chinese visitors often lack an awareness of being polite or behaving appropriately. “On their first or second time abroad, Chinese visitors tend to forget that they are visiting other people’s homeland and overlook the manners of their hosts,” he said.
Zhang Guanren, 28, who helped organize package tours to Australia, observed that on international flights, the first passengers to stand up and reach for luggage while the plane is still landing are often Chinese. “Our compatriots (同胞) seem to lack patience, and they’re forever in a rush to do things and fear lagging behind others.”
Some disregard (漠视) rules in local wildlife parks: They disturb koalas in their natural habitats by touching them, even though the local guide has warned them against doing so. “This is far from being eco-friendly,” said Zhang.
