26、Imagine swimming in a lake on a hot summer day. The water is quite warm, but the wind is strong and the moment you leave the water you feel chilly and get “goosebumps (鸡皮疙瘩) ”. So you change clothes and move inside to warm up. You make a nice cup of tea, get under a blanket and turn on the radio. Suddenly, you hear a song from a long time ago, one that your grandmother often sang to you when you were a child. 【1】 Why do such seemingly unrelated events lead to the same bodily reaction?

Goosebumps are a physiological phenomenon we got from our animal ancestors. They are tiny elevations of the skin that look like the skin of children or geese after the feathers have been pulled off. 【2】

Goosebumps are caused by a contraction (收缩) of muscles that are attached to each hair. Each contracting muscle creates a shallow depression (凹陷) on the skin surface. As a result, the surrounding area stands out. 【3】 In animals with a thick coat of hair this rising of the hair expands the layer of air. The thicker the layer of hair, the more heat is retained. In people this reaction is useless because we do not have a coat of hair on our bodies.

In addition to cold, the hair will also stand up in many animals when they feel threatened. 【4】 This will probably make the attacker back off. People also tend to experience goosebumps during emotional situations, such as walking down the aisle during their wedding, listening to their nation’s anthem, or even just watching horror movies. Quite often a person may get goosebumps many years after a significant event, just by thinking about the emotions they were experiencing at that time.

The reason for all these responses is the subconscious release of adrenaline (肾上腺素). It is often released when we feel cold or afraid, but also if we are under stress and feel strong emotions. Other signs of adrenaline release include sweaty palms, an increase in blood pressure, a racing heart or the feeling of “butterflies” in the stomach.

A．Therefore we could also call them “turkeybumps” or “duckbumps.”

B．Again, you feel a chill on your back and again, you get goosebumps.

C．The contraction also causes the hair to stand up whenever the body feels cold.

D．When a cat is attacked by a dog, for example, the elevated hair makes the cat appear bigger.

E．Adrenaline not only causes the contraction of skin muscles but also influences many other bodily reactions.

F．It is something we inherited from our distant ancestors, though we don’t seem to benefit from the reaction much.

28、In 1945, 23-year-old Joan Hinton was one of the few female nuclear physicists joining in the Manhattan Project, an American project set up in 1942 to develop an atom bomb. Even as she rejoiced in the project’s success, she was deeply shocked when the U.S. dropped two bombs in Japan in 1945 during World War II. She then quit the project and left the U.S..

In 1948, she managed to travel to Yan’an, where she married her boyfriend Erwin Engst. Her husband got his first impressions of China from the book Red Star Over China by Edgar Snow. He came to China as a member of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration in 1946 and went on to serve as an expert on farm equipment in Yan’an. “My father kept on writing letters to my mom, telling her to come to China and that ‘China was about to climb a hill. If you arrive late, you’ll miss the bus’,” Fred Engst, son of Hinton, said.

Hinton and her husband lived a simple life in China. During her time in Yan’an, she only stood out as a foreigner, dressed in ordinary clothes. The villagers treated the U.S. scientist like they would be a family member. During one Chinese New Year’s party in the village she lived in, Hinton shared her sense of humor by amusing the locals with her performances using a northern Shaanxi dialect (方言).

The couple witnessed the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. Hinton, who held high hopes of making milk available to the Chinese population, devoted herself to the improvement of agricultural machinery and the milk industry at large. She applied her scientific skills to developing a continuous-flow automatic milk pasteurizer (巴氏杀菌机) and tending to about 200 cows in the following years.

Hinton was truly devoted to everything she did, whether in nuclear physics or the milk industry.

A．She contributed the development of nuclear physics.

B．She pushed forward the development of cattle farming.

C．She helped cows give birth to more healthy babies.

D．She made all Chinese people enjoy the benefits of drinking milk.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

29、Gladys West is a black female mathematician who made a great contribution to the development of the Global Positioning System (GPS).

Gladys West was born in Dinwiddie County, Virginia. 【1】. Not wanting to spend her life working in the fields, she decided that an education was her only way out. She graduated first in her high school class and earned a scholarship (奖学金) to college, where she studied mathematics.

After graduating, she taught for a few years before landing a job in 1956 at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren, Virginia. 【2】 

Gladys collected data (数据) from satellites (人造卫星), focusing on information that helped to determine their exact locations. 【3】Gladys also wrote computer software that processed geoid (大地水准面) heights. Her work during her 42-year career at the Navy base in Dahlgren was extremely important to the development of GPS in the 1950s and 1960s.

As Gladys started her career as a mathematician at Dahlgren in 1956, she had almost no idea that her work would impact the world for decades (十年) to come. Gladys said, “When you’re working every day, you’re not thinking, ‘What impact is this going to have on the world?’【4】”

Gladys became a role model for other women. “I think I did help,” she said. “【5】You sort of whispered and looked at each other or something before, but now the world is opening up a little bit and making it easier for women.”

A．You’re thinking, ‘I’ve got to get this right.’

B．We made a lot of progress after I came in.

C．She was the daughter of a small farm owner.

D．I was very happy to work with some of the greatest scientists.

E．The data were studied using huge computers that filled entire rooms.

F．Her desire for education resulted in her leaving teaching to get a master’s.

G．She was the second black woman and one of only four black employees at the center.

There’s a Museum for Everyone

What comes to mind when you think of a museum? Perhaps you 【1】 an imposing building in a rather conventional（传统的）design made of high-quality stone? Perhaps you imagine a classic 【2】, such as the museum of natural history, the museum of fine art, or the national museum -- its exhibits displayed in a time - 【3】 style and falling in line with tradition.

Some people might consider these customary institutions the best way to 【4】 the future of typical educational topics. A museum of old breadboards, they may say, does not make up an orthodox（正统的）exhibition. But according to the Museum Association, a museum is defined as a place enabling “... people to 【5】 collections for inspiration, learning and enjoyment.” And so of the 2500 estimated museum in the UK, a few are bound to be considered a little unconventional.

What about Neil Cole’s Adventures in Science Fiction? This odd museum of classic science fiction was opened by the 【6】 Neil Cole. “Science fiction has become more mainstream so I thought people might want to see this,” says Mr Cole.

If clocks are more to your 【7】, why not visit the Cuckoo-land Museum? Set up by brothers Roman and Maz Piekarski, this collection of over 600 cuckoo（布谷鸟）clocks is considered to be the largest of its kind in the world -- and all from the Black Forest region in Germany.

Finally, you could visit the Victor Wynd Museum of Curiosities in London. This 【8】 institution reverses the trend of educating visitors through 【9】 explanations alongside its exhibits. Instead, it displays all of its 【10】 treasures, which include dodo bones, shrunken heads and a collection of McDonald’s Happy Meal toys, with no explanation at all.

32、最近，不少动物园都发生了动物袭击游客的事件，原因是游客惹恼动物。假设你是李华，请你就这一问题给某报社写一封建议信，呼吁人们在动物园玩时学会保护动物。

词数：100左右（开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数）

参考词汇：袭击 attack；惹恼 disturb
