26、   Imagine your body is like the house you live in. Every day, your family creates rubbish. The rubbish builds up until it is put out for the weekly garbage collection.

Now, say you put three bags of garbage out, but because one of the collectors was away sick, only two bags are collected. You take the leftover bag inside to be put out again next week. The following week you put on another three bags, plus the leftover bag from last week. But again, only two bags are collected. Imagine this cycle is repeated over the following weeks.

This is a simple description of what happens to your body when your kidneys (肾脏) don’t work efficiently. Your body is not thoroughly emptied of waste products. Other areas of the body such as blood pressure and red blood cell production are affected and the insidious process that may lead to kidney failure begins.

It’s not uncommon for people to lose up to 90% of their kidney function before developing any symptoms. There may be no warning signs. This makes early detection (诊查)difficult.

Kidney ’s main job is to remove toxins (毒素) and unwanted water from our blood.Every day our kidneys clean an average of 200 litres of blood. Kidney failure may be a gradual and silent process, going unnoticed because there is no obvious pain.

Research shows that more than 35% of the patients requiring dialysis (透析) do not see a kidney specialist before they have to do so. Some risk factors for kidney disease such as age and genetic make-up are out of our control; however, some changes in lifestyle may help prevent kidney damage. Two major risk factors for kidney disease, diabetes (糖尿病) and high blood pressure, have been on the rise over the last few decades. Both conditions are chiefly affected by being overweight and not getting enough exercises, which are the potential (潜在的) risk factors for the kidney disease.

【1】The author gives the example of the house we live in to indicate that ______.

A.it doesn’t matter much if the waste in our body is not emptied in time

B.our body will not produce any waste if our kidneys work efficiently

C.it’s important for our body to empty the waste in time every day

D.it’s safe and harmless for our body to keep some waste

【2】The underlined word “insidious” in Paragraph 3 means ______.

A.smooth and safe B.clear and fast

C.gradual and unnoticed D.long and painful

【3】We can infer that when we find some symptoms related to our kidneys, ______.

A.the kidney failure begins B.the kidneys can still work properly

C.we have lost about 10% of kidney function D.the kidneys may have been seriously damaged

【4】How many risk factors of kidney disease are mentioned in the passage?

A.Six. B.Five. C.Four. D.Two.

【5】Which of the following helps prevent kidney damage most effectively?

A.Go to see a kidney specialist shortly before dialysis starts.

B.Take enough exercise and make early detection of kidney disease.

C.Try to keep low blood pressure and a stable lifestyle.

D.Go to hospital whenever you find any warning signs.

27、If you easily make mistakes when in a hurry, a new study from Michigan State University—the largest of its kind to date-found that meditation (冥想) could help you improve the situation.

The research tested how open monitoring meditation (OMM)—or, meditation that focuses awareness on feelings or thoughts as they unfold in one’s mind and body—altered brain activity in a way that suggested increased error recognition.

“People’s interest in meditation is outpacing what science can prove in terms of effects and benefits.” said Jeff Lin, MSU psychology doctoral candidate and study co-author. “But it’s amazing to me that we were able to see how one session of a guided meditation could produce changes to brain activity in non-meditators.”

“Some forms of meditation have you focus on a single object, commonly your breath, but open monitoring meditation is a bit different,” Lin said, “It has you tune inward and pay attention to everything going on in your mind and body. The goal is to sit quietly and pay close attention to where the mind travels without getting too caught up in the scenery.”

Lin and his MSU co-authors—William Eckerle, Ling Peng and Jason Moser—hired more than 200 participants to test how open monitoring meditation affected how people detect and respond to errors.

The participants, who had never meditated before, were taken through a 20-minute open monitoring meditation exercise while the researchers measured brain activity through electroencephalography (脑电图), or EEG. Then, they completed a computerized distraction (分心) test.

“The EEG can measure brain activity at the millisecond level, so we got precise measures of brain activity right after mistakes compared to correct responses,” Lin said. “A certain neural signal occurs about half a second after an error called the error positivity, which is linked to conscious error recognition. We found that the strength of this signal is increased in the meditators relative to controls.”

“These findings show what just 20 minutes of open monitoring meditation can do to improve the brain’s ability to detect and pay attention to mistakes,” Moser said.

【1】What does the underlined word “altered” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Changed.

B．Prevented.

C．Started.

D．Recorded.

【2】Why is open monitoring meditation different?

A．It is just aimed at a single object.

A．They hired people who had meditated before.

B．They measured the participants’ brain activity.

C．They reminded the participants to avoid errors.

D．They had non-meditators design a distraction test.

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

A．Turn to OMM to Avoid Acting in a Hurry

B．You’re Able to Recognize Errors Consciously

C．Meditators’ Brain Proves Much More Active

D．OMM Can Help You Make Fewer Mistakes

28、COVID-19 vaccinations (接种) are underway. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, has said that about 75% to 90% of Americans will need to be vaccinated to reach herd immunity (群体免疫) in the United States. Public health experts recommended a staged approach to vaccination. Demand for the vaccine exceeded capacity in the beginning. Vaccine manufacturers increased production to meet the demand; however, public interest in getting vaccinated has been waning. The U.S. adopted the following staged approach, but by May 1,2021, most of the country had already reached stage 2.

Stage la includes healthcare personnel and residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Stage la vaccinations began in December 2020. Stage 1b includes frontline essential workers: police officers; food and agricultural, postal, daycare, grocery store, public transit, and manufacturing workers; teachers; and people aged 75 and older. Some states are allowing people aged 65 and older to sign up for the vaccine. S me states began Stage 1b vaccinations during the second full week of January 2021.

Stage 1c includes people aged 65.to 74 and people aged 16 to 64 who have potential health conditions that increase the risk of COVID complications. Essential workers of any age in the transportation, logistics, food service, construction, communications, information technology, energy, law, media, public safety, and public health sectors are also in Stage lc. Many states were able to vaccinate Stage lc in March and April.

Stage 2 includes all other people aged 16 and older. A COVID-19 vaccine is now authorized for teens aged 12 and older.

29、The pink and green buoys（浮标）moved gently over the surface of the water as Catherine Puckett steered（操纵）her boat towards them. Underneath the area, Ms Puckett plants kelp-a type of seaweed-on long ropes that are like washing lines. In a good year she harvests about five tonnes of the stuff.

Seaweed has long been a mainstay(支柱)of Japanese cuisine, but it is now catching on in America. Dieticians(营养师)praise kelp's high nutritional value and its many uses in the kitchen. Restaurants offer kelp salads.

Seaweed also owes its rising popularity to something else. Research has shown that it restores underwater habitats and helps to reduce the effects of climate change.

Seaweed farming is attracting newcomers, especially women, to the seafood industry. GreenWave, a non-profit, has a waiting list of about 8, 000 people for its ocean-farming programme.

People, such as Suzie Flores, are switching careers. Before opening her kelp farm in 2017, she was a manager at a higher-education software company. Bren Smith, founder of GreenWave, says one reason ocean faming attracts newcomers is that starting a seaweed farm is easier than becoming a commercial fisherman, which requires permits that come in limited numbers and can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

For kelp farmers, however, getting the required permits can be a process involving numerous state agencies. Ms Flores says that outside of Maine(缅因州), plants to process the seaweed crop are limited. Ms Puckett has to harvest her crop within a five-hour window to get it on a ferry(渡船)before noon(she hopes to build her own processing plant on the island). And farmers sometimes have to deal with people who complain that the farming gear, though mostly underwater, spoils the view from their seafront villas(别墅).

The kelp industry is still young and farming seaweed is not always profitable. But, says Ms Flores, “I find it to be very fulfilling. You are growing food that is healthy for the environment and healthy for people. ”

【1】What's Catherine Puckett?

A．A fisherman.

B．A seaweed farmer.

C．A scientist.

D．A dietician.

【2】Why does ocean farming attract newcomers?

A．Fishing is no longer permitted.

B．It's not difficult to enter seafood industry.

C．A seaweed farm can be started at no cost.

D．It's more profitable than software industry.

【3】What can we conclude from Paragraph 6?

A．Kelp farmers face some difficulties.

B．Kelp farmers complain about the ocean view.

C．Kelp farmers harvest their crop in the afternoon.

D．Kelp farmers process seaweeds in seafront villas.

【4】What's Ms Flores' attitude towards the kelp industry?

A．Worried.

B．Doubtful.

C．Positive.

D．Unclear.
