26、   If a super-flu strikes, face masks may not protect you. Whether widespread use of masks will help or harm during a worldwide flu outbreak is a question that researchers are studying.

But it’s a question the public keeps asking while the government is making preparations for the next flu. “We don’t want people to wear them everywhere,” said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “Our suggestion is to avoid exposure (暴露) to the flu.”

When that is not possible, you should consider wearing a simple surgical mask (医用口罩) if you are in one of the three following situations. First, you’re healthy and can’t avoid going to a crowded place. Second, you’re sick and think you may have close contact with the healthy. Third, you live with someone who’s sick but still need to go out.

Why aren’t masks added to this self-protection list? This is because they can help trap virus-laden droplets (小滴) flying through the air from a cough or sneeze. Simple surgical masks only remove the larger droplets. Besides, the CDC is afraid masks may create a false sense of security. Perhaps someone who should have stayed at home would wear a badly-fitting mask and step on the subway instead.

Nor does flu only spread through the air. Say someone covers a sneeze with his or her hand, then touches a handle or subway pole. If you touch that spot next and then put germy (带有细菌的) hands on your nose or mouth, you’ve been exposed. It’s harder to rub your nose while wearing a mask, so your face may get pretty sweaty under a mask. You reach under to wipe that sweat, and may transfer germs caught on the outside of the mask straight to the nose. These are the problems that face masks may create for their users.

【1】The CDC suggests that people ___________.

A.stay alone when they are sick

B.wear face masks when going to a crowded place

C.wear face masks wherever possible

D.remain at home if living with someone who’s sick

【2】The underlined word “that” in the third paragraph refers to ________.

A.making preparations for the flu B.avoiding exposure to the flu

C.coming up with suggestions D.wearing face masks everywhere

【3】One of the concerns the CDC has is that ___.

A.masks may make people wrongly assume they are safe

B.the sick may not wear masks and go out

C.the flu virus may spread via public transportation

D.healthy people may not know how to protect themselves

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.The widespread use of face masks.

B.The possibility of a worldwide flu outbreak.

C.New discoveries from face mask research.

D.The effectiveness of wearing face masks.

27、   The Ebola virus, which has killed more than 670 people in West Africa, is a “threat” to the UK, Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has told the BBC.

A woman is being treated for ‘ Ebola-like’ symptoms at the Queen Elizabeth’s Hospital in Hong Kong after recently returning from a strip to Africa.

The woman has been given the all-clear after testing negative for Ebola, according to South China Morning Post.

The 39-year-old woman was kept in isolation while undergoing tests, but a hospital source said she did not have the virus and was in a stable condition.

Ebola virus first emerged in 1976 in outbreaks of Ebola hemorrhagic fever in Zaire and Sudan. Ebola that broke out in Zaire has one of the highest case fatality rates (病死率) of any human virus, roughly 90%.

Symptoms include vomiting and diarrhea, fever, weakness, headache and sore throat. Those struck down can also suffer internal and external bleeding. The virus is spread through human contact. There is no cure.

【1】Which city in the text has the highest death rate by Ebola?

A.Hong Kong. B.London.

C.Sudan. D.Zaire.

【2】What could we infer from the text?

A.The woman was tested positive for Ebola. B.People suffering Ebola virus will not bleed.

C.Ebola virus can be got from person to person. D.Scientists have found the solution to the virus.

【3】The text is taken from ________.

A.a news report B.a story

C.a notice D.an advertisement

28、Kids and science seem to be made for each other!

The basic science is a combination of thought and experiment called the scientific method. It’s where you start with an idea, create a way to prove or disprove your idea, and show what you learned based on facts. Learning to follow this process helps you think logically (逻辑地) and carefully. These important thinking skills can be used in many areas of study. To give a child practice with these thinking skills is like giving vitamins (维生素) to a developing mind.

One of the greatest things we can teach our children is to love learning. Learning science is a great way to do so. Children are easy to be interested in science. Because much of science is hands-on, it attracts most children. Nothing makes a child sit up and take notice like the “WOW!” of a great science showing.

Science opens doors to many subjects at school. Building love for science can be helpful in other areas of study. For example, one cannot love science for very long without becoming good at its language-math! So science encourages children to study math. An interest in science is an interest in how things were once understood compared to how they are understood now. Thus studying science lends itself easily to studying history. And after you do an experiment, you need to write a lab report. Therefore, writing becomes an important part of science.

Science is the basic thing for much of our life. The science of farming shows how our food is produced; biomedical science keeps us healthy; even our beds these days are designed according to scientific facts. We almost eat, sleep and breathe with the help of science! When we prepare the next generation (一代) of voters, creators and policy makers, it is important to make sure they are not only comfortable but also good at science.

【1】What is the text mainly about?

A．How kids can make use of science.

B．Why science is important.

C．Why kids should learn science.

D．What kids should learn at school.

【2】According to Paragraph 2, what does learning the scientific method mean to kids?

A．Learning to do experiments.

B．Learning many areas of study.

C．Helping them develop thinking skills.

D．Refusing any ideas that are not logical.

【3】If a child works hard at science at school, he/she _______________.

A．usually has no time for other subjects.

B．is likely to learn many other subjects well.

C．is usually bad at such subjects like history.

D．usually loses interest in other activities.

【4】Which of the following statements would the author agree with?

A．Science is too difficult for children.

B．Children usually consider science boring.

C．Science could make children love learning.

D．Children who can't think carefully shouldn’t learn science.

29、   While there are not any magic shortcuts to learning words, the larger your vocabulary becomes, the easier it will be to connect a new word with words you already know, and thus remember its meaning. 【1】There are four basic steps to building your vocabulary.

Be aware of words. When meeting new words, instead of avoiding them, you will need to take a closer look at them.【2】 Second, make a daily practice of noting words of interest to you for further study whenever you are reading, listening to the radio, or watching TV.

Read. When you have become more aware of the words, reading is the next important step to increasing your knowledge of words.【3】 When you come across a word you have recently studied, you understand it, which proves you have learned its meaning. What should you read?【4】 If you like sports, read the sports page of the newspapers or magazines.

Use a dictionary.【5】Remember, words can have more than one meaning, and the meaning you need for the word you are looking up may not be the first one given in the dictionary. Even if it is, the other meanings of the word will help you understand the different ways the word is used.

Study and review regularly. Once you have begun looking up words and you know which ones to study, vocabulary building is simply a matter of reviewing the words regularly until you fix them in your memory.

A.First, try to guess at a word’s meaning from its context.

B.This will give you a quick form of review.

C.Read the entire entry for the word you look up.

D.It is also the best way to check words you have already learned.

E.Reading alone may not be enough to make you learn new words.

F.Whatever interests you.

G.So your learning speed should increase as your vocabulary grows.

30、   Have you seen people who take pictures of food for more than 10 minutes before eating? My friend Stella is  such an example. Every time we went to a restaurant, she would not take a bite until all the dishes we _______ were on the table. Then she would spend five minutes in _______ the dishes in a seemingly random but in fact _______ order. Then the most important part: taking pictures. After that, she would choose one of the _______ and click in the filter(滤镜)app. The food eventually looked 10 times more delicious than it really was, but we had no _______ to really enjoy it—it all went cold. Actually Stella’s real life is much less elegant. For example, she hates to wash the dishes, so she leaves them in the sink for days.

They find it hard to be _______ and to accept themselves, and thus they are afraid to show their _______life on social media. What they are trying to prove is _______ what they lack in reality. But this will not bring any ________ to reality, as they still __________ the same old pattern of life.

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.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。

An old wooden seat that Susan extremely valued often reminded her of mother’s Golden Rule.

Back in the 1930s, the country life was really tough. One day after dinner, Susan’s mother sat on the seat, announcing to the children the Golden Rule: “Treat others the way you want to be treated.” Susan reflected carefully and seriously on what her mother had said. She resolved that she would keep in mind and follow the rule.

One Saturday afternoon, she went to farmer Jason’s inn (小旅馆) to get the pay for her mother’s washing for the guests there, which amounted to five dollars. She found Jason in the yard, who, as all the villagers knew, was selfish and mean.

His eyes clouded with anger, as he had just finished a quarrel with one of his guests. He held in his hand an open wallet, full of bills. He barely noticed Susan until she made her request for the money. Instead of shouting at her, as usual, for troubling him when he was busy, he handed her a bank note.

Feeling relieved for escaping from Jason so easily, Susan hurried out of the inn. When carefully putting the money into her pocket, she discovered that Jason had given her two bills instead of one, and her first reaction was joy at the unexpected prize. She looked around and there was nobody nearby to share her discovery. “It is mine. All mine.” she said to herself. “I will buy mum a new coat with it, and she can give her old one to sister Mary, and then Mary can go to the Sunday school with me next winter. I wonder if I can buy a pair of shoes for brother Tom too.”

Just at that moment, she realized that Jason must have given the extra money to her by mistake, and therefore she had no right to own it. But a voice of temptation (诱惑) whispered, “He gave it, and you can keep it. He will never know, even if it is a mistake. ”

As Susan hurried home, this conflict went on in her mind.

Susan’s face became red with embarrassment and annoyance.
