26、“Why do birds sing?”I ask a group of children."To attract metes(配偶)!"answered a boy. A 4-year-old girl added shyly,"Birds sing because they are happy, and they want to make us happy, too."I think both answers are probably true in a way. If birds sing happily, it shows all is well in the forest: no predators(捕食者)are present, and the birds can feed, sing and do other bird things.The sound of a relaxed robin singing is easy to understand because it make us feel this way too-it's a sound that lifts our own hearts when we hear it.

What happens when a predator comes into their areas? The nearby birds quickly give an alarm(警报)call, a short sound that warms, "Danger is coming!" On hearing the sound, the other birds stop singing and fly for cover ,the deer lift their heads and stop moving and the rabbits run into the bushes. Suddenly, the forest becomes silent.

When humans walk through the woods in a hurry or while walking with a friend, we don't see much wildlife. We may think that there aren't many animals living there, but more likely, they know we are coming and hide minutes before our arrival. But if we learn to avoid setting off alarms, we can see many more wild animals without frightening them. To practice, find a place in a park and sit quietly for an hour. Take notes as the birds begin to relax and sing again. When I do this, I am always surprised at the wonderful thing animals will do when humans simply stay still long enough.

【1】In the writer's opinion, the children's answers to his question are ________.

A．funny

B．reasonable

C．honest

D．important

【2】Hearing a bird's alarm call, a deer will________.

A．run quickly into the bushes

B．stand still with its head up

C．lie down on the ground at once

D．act as if nothing has happened

【3】According to the author, why can't we see much wildlife in the woods?

A．Because we come at the wrong time.

B．Because we fail to give warnings.

C．Because we have set off alarms.

D．Because few animals live there.

【4】The purpose of last paragraph is to ________.

A．advise people to enjoy the songs of birds

B．ask people to learn something about birds

C．tell people how to protect birds in wild

D．show people how and when birds sing

【5】What is the text mainly about?

A．The life of the birds.

B．Birds in the forest.

C．How birds sing in the forest.

D．The messages in bird's singing.

27、Now Sea World on the Gold Coast is the only dolphin park in Australia to continue keeping dolphins in captivity. This wouldn't have been possible without thousands of warm-hearted supporters being a voice for dolphins protection over many years.

In August last year, Ben Pearson, our head of campaigns in Australia and New Zealand, appeared before the NSW upper house inquiry into the use wild animals for entertainment to put forward our case for ban on captive Dolphin breeding in the state. “If a dolphin were bred today, it may still be alive in 2070. This regulation frees future dolphins from being kept in lockdown at a time when the public acceptability of keeping dolphins in captivity for entertainment is declining. As the tide turns against using marine mammals in captivity for entertainment, conversation about what will happen to the dolphins at Sea World needs to start now. First step is a ban on further breeding,” Ben Pearson said.

Major travel brands including Tripadvisor and Booking. com have already committed to stop selling tickets to dolphin shows and encounters. As well as these great changes for dolphins from the travel industry, Canada recently passed a ban on keeping dolphins and whales for entertainment. This is part of a global movement towards better treatment of these wild animals, which includes the nations of Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, India, Luxembourg, Norway, Switzerland, and the UK.

Dolphins are magnificent, intelligent animals. They belong in the wild and should not be bred in captivity for entertainment. In their natural environment, dolphins swim freely in 100 square kilometres of ocean, sometimes more, but the average dolphin in captivity has a fraction of that space. Together, we can make this the last generation of dolphins in captivity.

【1】What makes Sea World on the Gold Coast the only dolphin park?

A．Dolphins take too long a time to feed.

B．People's awareness of protecting dolphins.

C．Sea World on the Gold Coast has enough money.

D．Dolphins in Sea World on the Gold Coast like people's voice.

【2】What does the underlined word "tide" mean in the second paragraph?

A．Wave.

B．Support.

C．Opinion.

D．Doubt.

【3】What is most likely the result of the measures of the travel industry?

A．More parks for dolphins will be built.

B．More dolphins will be kept in parks.

C．Wild animals will live a better life.

D．More countries will feed wild animals.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Make Dolphins Live Freely

B．Protect Sea World on the Gold Coast

C．Change the Ways of Entertainment

D．Prevent People from Feeding Animals

28、   The success of any group will largely depend upon the ability of the members to get along.【1】Therefore, it is a good idea to practice a few basic communication skills, the most important of which is listening.

【2】Hearing is simply having sound waves enter our cars and be translated as noise to our brain. Listening is the act of translating that noise as something meaningful.

“Active listening” refers to making an effort to listen to—and understand—someone who is speaking to us.【3】Feedback can be verbal or nonverbal. We might nod our head or say something such as “yes, absolutely” to show our understanding. Keeping eye contact (交流) is also to show we’re paying attention. This feedback serves to make the speakers more comfortable.【4】

One of the most important things: putting down your phone and avoiding other distractions.【5】That’s the only way you’ll be able to truly listen and understand what’s being said. You need to be present in the conversation. Avoid interrupting the speaker. Focus on what they are sayingand how they are saying it. So you can translate the full meaning.

A．Give the other person your full attention.

B．One way of active listening is giving feedback.

C．There is a difference between hearing and listening.

D．It makes sense that there are so many misunderstandings.

E．That actually will not happen without good communication.

F．Listening is the mental act of translating that sound into thoughts.

G．As a result, they might tell us more than they’d originally planned.

30、Do Brain Training Games Work?

With an ageing population worried about cognitive (认知的) decline, brain training apps have soared in popularity. Search “brain training”, and you will find _________ apps and websites promising to make you mentally agile (敏捷的). In the same way that we might go to the gym to exercise, a daily mental _________ is said to produce physical changes in the brain. All you will have to do is to _________ a few minutes each day to complete puzzles, memory games and word quizzes.

At least that’s the idea. And there are a lot of people who are _________ into it. In 2018, consumers spent an estimated $1.9 billion on brain training apps—a fourfold increase from 2012. Of course, smartphones were not the original home for brain training games. _________, Nintendo recently released its fourth all-time best-selling game, Brain Age, and brought it to the Switch in Japan last month. The idea of improving mental fitness clearly has widespread appeal, but is it based on scientific evidence or _________ marketing promises?

In 2014, the Stanford Center on Longevity published an open letter _________ by 69 international neuroscientists (神经科学家) and cognitive psychologists. There is no convincing scientific evidence, the experts argued, that playing brain games improves cognitive abilities in everyday life.

Two years later, another team of psychologists reviewed every scientific study cited by major brain training companies _________ their products. They questioned not only how the evidence had been reported and interpreted, but the way many of the studies had been designed. The _________ included small sample sizes, inadequate control groups, and cherry-picking (挑选最有利的) research outcomes to __________.

If the science is so __________ flawed (错误的), why do people feel the need to train their brains with these apps and games?

That’s __________, according to Til Wykes, a professor at King’s College London. Nintendo’s Brain Age game, for instance, assigns players a score based on their gaming performance. They might start with a “brain age” score of 60 and after a few weeks of __________, will be told they have reduced it to 40. For some people, there is clearly some positive reward for seeing themselves improve over time. Wykes stresses, __________, that for people who are really worried about their cognition, learning a new language would be more beneficial, which has been shown to improve brain __________.

31、Directions：Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Like AIDS, flu is caused by a virus, a tiny packet of genes in a protein coat so simple that most biologists don’t 【1】 viruses truly “alive” until they invade（入侵）a host cell. Then they hijack the cell and use its energy to 【2】 out 100,000 to 1 million copies of themselves in just 10 hours. Eventually they become so great in number that they 【3】 the cell from within, flooding out to further infect the body. They are spread from respiratory（呼吸的）passages, through the cough and sneeze droplets on doorknobs, desktops, coat sleeves and food tables.

The cause of flu was unknown for many years—the virus wasn’t isolated until 1933. But now we know what makes flu such an annual irritant, and so 【4】 deadly, is that like HIV that causes AIDS, it is moving 【5】. Made of RNA instead of the more stable DNA, it changes like a movie monster, making vaccinations（疫苗接种）useless in a year or so.

One thing we know about the flu is that we can’t predict it. In part that’s because occasionally the flu will change completely in what is called a “shift” and 【6】 humans by such a surprise that a pandemic（流行疾病）breaks out. An estimated three to six shifts occurred in the 18th century, four in the 19th, and three in the 20th, the 1918 pandemic, the 1957 Asian flu and the 1968 Hong Kong flue. Because it can take six to nine months to make enough of an effective vaccine, a deadly shift that 【7】 around the world is what gives health authorities nightmares.

But there is a global network to try to stop such a pandemic in its tracks. More than 80 countries and 121 U.S. cities belong to a reporting system to 【8】 flu.

And now, doctors know what causes flu. They have decades of experience with vaccines to fight it, and they even have anti-viral drugs, though those are expensive and of limited 【9】.
