26、Loch Ness, the largest freshwater lake in the British Isles, is twenty- four miles long and at one point, one mile wide. It has an average depth of four hundred and fifty feet and at times drops close to a thousand.It is cold and murky (混沌的), with dangerous currents. In short, it is the perfect place to hide a monster from even the sharpest eyes of science.

The Loch Ness Monster, also called Nessie, is supposedly living in this area. The earliest recorded sighting of the Loch Ness Monster was in the biography of Life of St.Columba by Adamnan in the year A.D.565. The monster apparently attacked a man who was swimming in the River Ness.

The monster didn’t make headlines again until August 27, 1930, when 3 fishermen reported seeing a creature with 20 feet long approaching their boat, throwing water in the air. In 1933, after a new road was built along the edge of the Loch, the number of reports rose suddenly. Early in 1934, Author Grant, a young student, was out on his motorcycle one evening when he almost ran into the monster as it crossed the road. Grant’s description of the thing — small head, long thin neck and tail with a big body, seemed to match the appearance of the plesiosaur (蛇颈龙), an aquatic (水生的) type of dinosaur that has been extinct for 65 million years.

The Loch Ness Investigation Bureau was formed in 1962 to act as a research organization for information about the creature. Even now, efforts have continued to find the monster. A great deal of information was discovered about the Loch, but there isn’t any yet to produce any specific evidence of a monster.

Skeptics (怀疑论者) argue that the water in the Loch is too cold for a plesiosaur to live in. They also argue that an air-breathing animal, like a whale or seal, would spend much more time on the surface than the creature seems to, and would be spotted more often.

Some scientists have wondered if the sightings might be caused by an underwater wave which is known to sometimes occur in deep, long, and cold lakes, like Loch Ness. Such a wave might push debris (废弃物) to the surface that might look like a strange animal. However, none of these is identified.

【1】Which of the following is the CORRECT order for the things that happened in the passage?

a. A young student met with a monster crossing the road.

b. A swimmer was attacked by a monster in Loch Ness.

c. A new road was built along the edge of the Loch.

d. The Loch Ness Investigation Bureau was set up.

e. Three fishermen saw a creature swimming towards their boat.

A．b, e, c, a, d

B．a, b, e, d, c

C．b, d, a, c, e

D．d, c, e, b, a

【2】According to the skeptics, which of the following is TRUE?

A．It is impossible for a monster to live in cold water.

B．The Loch Ness Monster often stays under the water.

C．The Loch Ness Monster is an air-breathing animal.

D．There is no so-called monster in Loch Ness.

【3】What does this passage mainly talk about?

A．The natural scenery of Loch Ness.

B．The Nessie.

C．Skeptics’ opinions on Loch Ness Monster.

D．The Loch Ness Investigation Bureau’s research results.

27、   Around the world, there are about 7,000 National Parks. Most of them cover huge areas of land where nobody lives. However, the National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild areas where there are few human activities.

The National Parks in England are called “England’s Breathing Spaces” because they are places where people can go to be in the open air, away from the dirt and noise of cities. They provide wonderful scenes of mountains, woods, grasslands and wetlands. And there are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or ride bikes for fun. Many of the parks put on activities for families.

Every year there are about 110 million visitors to the parks, bringing many benefits（益处）to the areas. At the same time, it creates problems too. First, life can be difficult for local people. Car parks and roads are too crowded. Gift shops and cafes take the place of many everyday shops. Even house prices in some areas can become too high. Besides, country roads can be damaged, for too many people walk, cycle or ride horses on them. Roads can be rebuilt, but then they look less natural. Another big problem to the National Parks is litter. In the parks it is a danger to wild animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun. Such fires in wild places can be out of control.

? All National Parks in England are making more rules, which tell people how to take good care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be well kept and continue to give pleasure to many people for a very long time.

【1】Visitors to the National Parks in England can .

A.give food to wild animals B.drive cars on the grasslands

C.enjoy fresh air and peaceful time D.have fun farming with local people

【2】The third paragraph mainly tells us .

A.the problems of the National Parks B.the pollution caused by visitors

C.the development of the National Parks D.the benefits brought by visitors

【3】Which of the following is the best sentence to fill the blank in Paragraph 4?

A.What can people get B.How can people help

C.What are the National Parks like D.How are the National Parks set up

【4】The passage is probably taken from the part of a magazine.

A.transport B.wildlife

C.history D.geography

28、At the table sat my new mentees (学员): six eager undergraduates who signed to work on a project I designed. “Starting today, I get to learn what it s like to be an adviser,” I thought to myself excitedly. But a few minutes later, the students broke the news: They didn’t have any training related to the project. I couldn’t help sighing. How would this ever work?

My inspiration to involve undergraduates in my research came after two years of working as a teaching assistant. Many of my undergraduate students had voiced the same frustrations I once had: They were expected to absorb facts and use them in exams, without any real critical thinking or chance to apply what they had learned. I believe I could fill that gap by creating a project related to my own work and employing undergraduates as the researchers.

My Ph.D. adviser was supportive, knowing it would be a good experience for undergraduates. My department purchased the fish we would study, and a government research lab offered space. Everything was in place—except for the students’ training. I was worried. But backing out was not an option.

I reminded myself how green I had been on my first day in the lab. After 3 hours there, I had to throw everything out and start over the experiment, because I mistook the concentrations of chemicals. But my mentor (导师) said nothing and he let me learn from the scene.

His example inspired me. On the first day in my lab, I walked new mentees through the facilities. However, I noticed that some forgot my instructions. My instinct (本能) was to jump in and save the day. But I resisted the urge to intervene (介入) and watched proudly as the students identified the mistakes and learned from them.

Six months later, in a reflection meeting, the students thanked me for letting them find their own way to grow as scientists.

A．To help them achieve better performances in exams.

B．To fill the gap between advisers and mentees.

C．To offer them a chance to combine theory with practice.

D．To train them to be her teaching assistants.

【3】What does the author mainly intend to show in paragraph 3?

A．Her being in a dilemma.

B．The possible options ahead.

C．Objects needed by her mentees.

D．Her thanks to the government.

【4】What did the author learn from her mentor?

A．Training students as early as possible.

B．Walking students through each experiment.

C．Giving students room to learn through their errors.

D．Stepping in to help students get out of trouble in time.

29、   "I'm ready " said Alyssa Carson, a 17-year-old astronaut-in-training from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. For her, riding the most aggressive roller coaster in the park is not a big deal. If all goes according to her plans, NASA will send her to Mars in 2033, making her the first human to step foot on the planet. She will spend two to three years doing something on it, such as growing food, performing science experiments, and searching for signs of life. She's devoted her entire life to preparing for this journey.

Her love for space started when she was 3 years old and watched a cartoon called The Backyardigans. Five animal pals go on imaginary adventures in their backyard including in one part, a mission to Mars. "I thought "This red planet is so cool'," she said, "I started watching videos of rovers" landing on Mars. "

At 7, her father took her to space camp in Huntsville, Alabama. "I got to see a life-size rocket. " She cherished the rocket so much that she returned 18 times. At the age of 12, she became the fist person in history to attend all three NASA space camps in Huntsville, Alabama; Quebec, Canada; and Izmir, Turkey.

At first she mastered the basics of space and how humans have explored it throughout time. As she got older she simulated（模拟）missions, trying to reach a destination in gravity-free, weightless zones.

When she was 9, she met NASA astronaut Sandra Magnus. The experienced explorer told her she was her age when she decided to go to space. At that moment Alyssa knew her love of space was not a passing hobby. "I did the same thing as other kids, like switching my mind about careers, wanting to be a teacher or the president one day, " she said. "But the way I always thought about it was I would become an astronaut, go to Mars, come back, and then be a teacher or the president. "
