26、There are many theories that suggest different ways of improving memory or thinking more clearly. One of those is the idea that adding rosemary (迷迭香) to your food or water, or even breathing in its fragrance, can give your brain a boost.

First, it’s important to understand what rosemary is. 【1】 It’s a perennial, meaning that once you plant it, it should re-grow every year when the weather is warm enough for it to do so. It’s native to Asia and the Mediterranean. 【2】

Rosemary is related to the mint (薄荷) family of plants. When it blooms, its flowers are white, purple, pink or deep blue. It is often used as a flavor in food, including soups, meat, fish and other Mediterranean food. And it has a somewhat bitter flavor. Some people also enjoy tea flavored with rosemary. 【3】

One study that involved 28 older adults found that consumption of a small amount of dried rosemary powder was associated with statistically significantly improved memory speed. 【4】 Researchers found that their memory of images and numbers improved when the essential oil of rosemary was sprayed in the room.

【5】 But one theory is that rosemary appears to have some antioxidant (抗氧剂) properties that may offer some healing for the damage in our bodies. Another idea is that rosemary appears to lower anxiety, which in turn, may increase the ability to concentrate.

While rosemary shows some promise for boosting our brain power, it’s important to check with your doctor before you begin having it.

A．But it is grown in the United States, as well.

B．Rosemary is a herb with needle-like leaves.

C．Here’s what research has found about rosemary.

D．It is unknown if those benefits would hold true for humans.

E．It’s not known for sure why there may be a benefit from rosemary.

F．Rosemary is also used as a perfume and added to shampoo and soap.

G．Another study was performed with 53 students between 13 and 15 years old.

27、People all around the world have enjoyed noodles for thousands of years. 【1】 People first started growing wheat and making flour in the Middle East around 10,000 years ago. But no one had ever found a prehistoric noodle —until 2002.

Archaeologists discovered an upside-down clay bowl in the ruins of an ancient Chinese village. 【2】 This “mummy” noodle was made from millet. Traders brought wheat to China about the time this ancient noodle was cooked.

Some people claim that Marco Polo brought pasta to Italy. The tale says that when he visited China, he tried noodles for the first time and liked them so much that he took the recipe home. 【3】 In fact, it was likely made up by an American magazine to try to get Americans to eat more pasta.

【4】 The oldest written mention of pasta outside China comes from the Middle East, about 1,600 years ago. The text describes how to eat dried noodles, a popular travel food in the Middle East and Central Asia. Dried noodles were perfect for long trips. 【5】 Some historians believe that dried noodles spread out from the Middle East or Central Asia. Traders packed their noodles and travelled to other parts of the world. Wherever they got the recipe, Italians were eating pasta long before Marco Polo.

So who REALLY invented noodles? We may never know—the history of noodles is as twisted as a bowl of spaghetti. But whoever invented them, we’re sure glad they did!

A．Who made the very first noodle?

B．But it is probably not true!

C．Who planted wheat first?

D．They were tasty, easy to carry, and never went bad.

E．When they lifted it, they found a 4,000-year-old noodle.

F．However, dried noodles have many disadvantages

G．So, if Marco Polo did not bring noodles to Italy, who did?

28、It is widely acknowledged that cities with some kind of functioning ecosystems make for better place for humans to live. More plants and animals in cities make for happier, healthier people.

A study conducted on green spaces in Sheffield, England, for instance, revealed that the greater the biodiversity(生物多样性), the greater the psychological well-being(健康) of the city’s citizens. In Paris, researchers found that getting citizens to take part in day-long activities involving urban wildlife opened their eyes to the natural world for a time, at least.

Few cities have been associated with urban ecology for as long as Berlin. “Slow economic recovery after the Second World War meant that reconstruction would take a long time. This provide local ecologist with the ideal conditions to develop an ambitious ecological research program in the bombed-out wastelands of West Berlin,” said Jens Lachmund, a sociologist at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands.

The pioneering work in Berlin bad several consequences, especially the formation of significant natural spaces within the city, such as the Sudgelande Nature. “Berlin has indeed benefited a lot from being a case study in urban ecology,” said Lachmund.

The recent research conducted by Mark Goddard, a biologist at the University of Leeds, and his colleagues confirmed the importance of natural space within an urban setting. Goddard and his team conducted a striking global analysis of bird and plant diversity, quantifying the influence of urbanization on levels of biodiversity around the world. “Functioning urban ecosystems will be extremely important to human health and well-being,” said Goddard.

Cities take up just 3% of the land surface area, yet according to the most recent figure from the United Nations, some 3. 6 billion people (just over 50% of the global population) now live in urban areas. By 2050, this figure is expected to rise to 6.3 billion. Without animals and plants to keep us company, it is a dark future.

【1】The findings in Paragraph 2 are mentioned to explain the link between .

A. Citizens and their well-being

B. green spaces and urban wildlife

C. urban ecology and citizens’ well-being

D. functioning ecosystems and the natural word

【2】What would be Goddard’s attitude towards Berlins work?

A. Cautious.

B. Admiring.

C. Uncaring.

D. Negative.

【3】The author uses figures in the last paragraph to show   .

A. the negative effect of over population.

B. the importance of urban ecosystems.

C. the serious problems of city life.

D. the rapid growth of urban areas.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Should cities be for animals and plants too?

B. Should Berlin have more natural spaces?

C. Should more people live in urban areas?

D. Should the global population be controlled now?

31、根据课文内容填空（每空1～3词）

The awful night 【1】, and the dawn greyly broke on THE LACT DAY OF POMPEII! The crowd looked upwards, and saw, with 【2】, a huge cloud shooting from the top of the volcano. It took the form of a huge tree: the trunk, blackness, the branches, fire! This fire moved and changed in colour with every moment: now it was wildly bright, now of a 【3】red, and now again it burnt with 【4】.

The cries of women 【5】 ; the men looked at each other, but were silent. At that moment, they felt the earth shaking 【6】; beyond in the distance, they heard the crash of 【7】. A moment later, the mountain-cloud seemed to roll towards them, cark and rapid, like a river; at the same time, it threw out a shower of ashes and huge pieces of burning stone! Over the empty streets—over the forum—far and wide—with many a noisy crash in 【8】—fell that awful shower!

Each turned to fly—each running pressing pushing against the other. If, in the darkness, wife 【9】husband, or parent room child, there was no hope of their meeting again. Each 【10】and fearfully on. So came the earthquake...and so ended life in Pompeii.

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。

One weekend in August, Daniel and his father drove five hours to camp over night by a lake in the forest. On the way, unfortunately, his father received a phone call from Daniel’s teacher saying Daniel had broken the school rules, and then he started to criticize (批评) Daniel. By the time they reached the lake, Daniel was so angry that he said to his father, “I’m going to find a better place for us to camp” and walked away alone.

With no path to follow, Daniel just walked on for quite a long time. After he had climbed to a high place, he turned around, hoping to see the lake. To his surprise, he saw nothing but forest and a snow capped mountain top. He suddenly realized that he was lost.

“Dad! Mom! Dad! Mom!…” he cried. “Help! Help me!...”

No reply. If only he had not left his mobile phone in that bag with his father. Daniel kept moving, but the farther he walked, the more confused he became. As night was beginning to fall, Daniel was so tired that he had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Daniel said to himself, “Hadn’t I walked away angrily, I wouldn’t be trapped in this awful place, facing with the danger of dying.” He regretted with endless anxiety, and then became asleep with shining tears in his eyes.

Daniel rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. He could hear water trickling (滴落) some where in the distance. Quickly he followed the sound to a stream. To his great joy, he saw some apple trees. He ate some. Never in his life had he tasted anything better. Feeling stronger now, Daniel began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead him to the lake.

注意：1. 续写词数应为120-150；
