26、Over the past few decades, children have been taking part less in free play and more in organized sports. While participation in organized sports has both social and physical benefits for young children, concerns about safety and benefits increase as participants get younger.

Though most children are naturally likely to be physically active, not all kids are willing to get up and move. Soccer coach Joseph Luxbacher says, “Every kid has the potential to be a good sportsman in different kinds of sports. Participating in organized sports such as the school soccer team introduces direction to children’s physical activities. Following a team schedule gives kids a set time and place to exercise. As a result, kids can be safe from accidents and be protected against hurt.”

What’s more, participating in organized sports gives children time to communicate with others and showing good sportsmanship. For young children who may still be very self-centered, participating in team sports teaches them to think about the group and encourages them to be happy about the success of their teammates. Kids can also benefit from spending time with their coach and having a chance to develop a positive relationship with an adult other than their parents, especially if the coach is both skilled and devoted to being a positive mentor.

Playing organized sports requires a lot of time for practice and games, so it would seem that this could influence students’ study. Actually it can ameliorate students’ test performance. That’s because to play organized sports well, players have to memorize information, do repetitive actions, and learn from teammates. All these types of learning skills can make students score higher.

Though it can come from many different sources——parents, coaches, teammates or themselves——many children who participate in organized sports feel pressured to succeed. While a little stress can be helpful in leading children to perform with increased focus and strength, too much stress will leave young kids feeling very tired. Organized sports are more likely to put the right amount of pressure on them.

【1】What do Joseph Luxbacher’s words show?

A．Organized sports can achieve kids’ potential.

B．Most children prefer free play to organized sports.

C．Organized sports can better secure kids from injuries.

【3】What does the underlined word “ameliorate” mean in Paragraph 4?

A．Measure

B．Record

C．Recognize

D．Improve

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．How organized sports can benefit children

B．How to coach children in organized sports

27、   Any snakebite can be dangerous if infection sets in. some types of snake poison make the bite area swollen(肿胀的) or painful. Others cause bleeding or damage the heart’s nerves. Here are some especially dangerous snakes:

The largest of all poisonous snakes, king cobras can reach 5.5 meters in length. Each king cobra bits contains enough poison to kill an elephant -- or 20 people. But these big snakes usually avoid people. They live throughout India, southern China and Southeast Asia.

A bite from Australia’s inland taipan, the world’s most poisonous snake, releases enough poison to kill 100 men. The good news is that people rarely come in contact with this snake, and a treatment for its poison exists.

Russell’s viper lives throughout Asia, including India, southern China, and on the island of Taiwan. It prefers grassy fields but can be found in forests and urban areas. It bites more people and causes more deaths than any other poisonous snake.

Though short, the common Indian krait packs a powerful punch(攻击) in its bite. Most often, it strikes people at night while they are sleeping. Since the bite causes little pain, victims are often not sure that they have been bitten until they begin to experience stomach cramps(痉挛). Without treatment, symptoms will worsen quickly and can lead to death.

The black mamba, a native of Africa, is actually olive or grey in color. Only the inside of its mouth is black. When black mambas feel threatened by a human, they make a loud hissing sound to warn the person away. If the warning is ignored, the snake will attack the person repeatedly. And they can attack quickly, moving over the ground at speeds of up to 20 kilometers per hour.

【2】What does the article imply about the inland taipan?

A.It was once believed to be extinct. B.A chance meeting with it could be fatal.

C.Some people keep one as a pet. D.Very little is know about its behavior.

【3】In which magazine would you most likely find this article?

A.Let’s Explore Nature. B.Weekly Travel Digest.

C.Psychology Magazine. D.Global Warning News.

28、If you have lived in New York City for many years, like I have, the skyline becomes part of you and your daily life.

When I was invited to visit the recently completed Summit One Vanderbilt, New York’s fourth-highest tower, I wasn’t expecting much. I felt like I’d seen it all and I thought that this observation deck (观测台) would be another space for a view of the city, but nothing else.

Let me tell you something: I have never seen one like this before. It sits on top of a building on 42nd street and Vanderbilt, right next to Grand Central Station. Once you have ascended to the top floor, you step into air, which makes you feel like being at l,000 feet above ground level with its mirrored floors. Once you make your way throughout the space, you feel like New York is part of a body, and your sense of space is challenged by the reflections of the light. The reflections create endless possibilities for photos and videos, and the light changes throughout the day. I took out my camera and began to take photos, feeling a connection with the city that no other observatory has been able to give me.

Summit is something unique, an art work with architecture. It will be an observatory that will change with the city. I personally can’t wait to take photos at sunset, or when winter arrives.

【1】How did the author feel when invited to visit Summit One Vanderbilt?

A．Curious.

B．Happy.

C．Amazed.

D．Uninterested.

【2】What does the underlined word “ascended” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Risen.

B．Turned.

C．Referred.

D．Adapted.

【3】What can be learned about Summit One Vanderbilt?

A．It is the only tower in New York.

B．It lies far from Grand Central Station.

C．It provides a good place for taking photos.

D．It is exactly 1, 000 feet high from the ground.

【4】What’s the purpose of the text?

A．To stress a point.

B．To introduce a site.

C．To raise awareness.

D．To promote tourism.

29、People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer even though they have lifespans(寿命)that are similar to humans, living for around 50 to 70 years.

Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago, US has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors(肿瘤)developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species, including humans, only carry one copy.

According to the research, the extra copies of the gene improved the animal’s sensitivity to DNA damage, which lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors.

“An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals,” the study author Dr Vincent Lynch told The Guardian. If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous(癌变的),large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.

This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named “Peto’s paradox(悖论)”. Biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do not. In the elephant’s case, the making of TP53 is nature’s way of keeping this species alive.

The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancers spreading or even developing in the first place.

“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, a biologist at the School of Medicine, University of Utah, US. “It’s up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.”

【1】Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer?

A．Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors.

B．They have a rather large body size.

C．They carry many genes to prevent tumors developing.

D．Their genes suffer no DNA damage.

【2】According to the passage, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals?

A．The huge body mass.

B．Deadly tumors.

C．Cells killing themselves.

D．Sensitivity to DNA damage.

【3】What does the underlined part “This phenomenon” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?

A．The risk of cancer is not related to body size.

B．Larger animals have protection from TP53.

C．Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones.

D．The larger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they will have.

【4】What can be concluded from the passage?

A．Depending on nature is surely enough to fight against cancer.

B．The TP53 genes have proved useful in stopping cancer in people.

C．The extra copies of elephants’ genes are used to cure cancer patients.

D．Humans are expected to prevent cancer with the making of TP53.

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。

I was a single mom, living with my eight-year-old girl Amanda. Luckily, we had many people around us who helped us to get by. But I felt that I wasn’t doing enough to give my girl enough time. Life for me lacked magic and excitement.

But one Friday night was special. Amanda and I arrived at one of her favorite restaurants. We were seated next to a large group at a long table, who were clearly celebrating something. They were three generations of a family. I looked over at them, longing for that same family atmosphere. As their celebration continued, I caught the white-haired family patriarch watching me. He would look over and stare at me but then quickly look away.

Amanda talked happily throughout the meal, enjoying her chicken and telling the details of her spelling test that day. My heart nearly burst as I saw her happiness.

However, the man at the next table kept watching us. What was he looking at? My handbag whose color had faded? Or was it my ringless finger that told the general public I was unmarried? Whatever he was looking at, it was annoying and started to make me nervous.

“Can I have dessert?” asked Amanda, not knowing what was happening around. “Next time. I am watching our money and there will be no dessert this time,” I said. As the words came out of my mouth, the man was staring again. What did he want?

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；
