26、   Nearly all our food comes from the soil. Some of us eat meat, of course, but animals live on plants. If there were no plants, we would have no animals and no meat. So the soil is very necessary for life. The top of the ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. There may be dead leaves and dead plants on the grass. The waste matter(粪) from animals also falls on it.

All soil needs food. If we do not give it any, the plants will be weak. Farmers found that animals' waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers(化肥) are also very useful. The same crop should not be grown in the same place every year; it's better to have a different crop. A change of crop and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land good.

【1】What would happen first without plants?

A．People would have more crops.

B．Animals would die.

C．There would be more food.

D．There would be less soil.

【2】What does the writer tell us in the first paragraph?

A．Leaves, plants, grass and waste live on each other.

B．There would be no animals without meat.

C．There would be no plants without animals.

D．People, animals, plants and soil live on each other.

【3】Which is the best food for soil in the field?

A．Chemical fertilizers.

B．Plants and grass.

C．Animals' waste.

D．Different crops.

【4】Why do we often grow a different crop in the same place every year?

A．Because we can keep the soil rich this way.

B．Because we don't have enough land.

C．Because we want to have a different food.

D．Because we do this as a habit.

27、Irene Pepperberg, a graduate of Harvard University, was interested in learning if animals could think, and the best way to do this, she reasoned, was to talk to them. To test her theory, she bought an African grey parrot she named Alex and taught him to reproduce the sounds of the English language.

When Pepperberg began her research with Alex, very few scientists acknowledged that animals were capable of thought. The general belief was that animals reacted to things in their environment but lacked the ability to think or feel.

Alex the parrot was a surprisingly good talker. He learned how to use his voice to imitate (模仿) almost 100 English words, including those for foods, colors, shapes, and numbers. Because Alex had mastered many English words, Pepperberg could ask him questions about a bird’s basic understanding of the world. Alex could count, as well as describe shapes, colors, and sizes for Pepperberg; he even had an elementary understanding of the abstract concept of zero.

This is a large discovery of animal cognition research: It humbles us. We are not alone in our ability to invent, communicate, demonstrate emotions, or think about ourselves. Still, humans remain the creative species. No other animal has built cities, created music, or made a computer. In fact, a number of critics dismiss animals’ ability to use tools or understand human language. They believe animals are just simulating human behavior.

Yet, many researchers say that creativity and language in animals, like other forms of intelligence, have evolved. “People were surprised to discover that chimpanzees make tools,” says Alex Kacelnik, an animal researcher. “But people also thought, ‘Well, they share our ancestry—of course they’re smart.’ Now we’re finding these kinds of behaviors in some species of birds. But we don’t have a recently shared ancestry with birds. “It means,” Kacelnik continues, “that evolution can invent similar forms of advanced intelligence more than once—that it’s not something reserved only for primates (灵长目动物) or mammals.”

【1】What do the underlined words “humbles us” mean in paragraph 4?

A．Defeats us so easily.

B．Huts the pride of us.

C．Makes us fully doubtful.

D．Goes deep into our heart.

【2】Which statement would Alex Kacelnik probably agree with?

A．Only humans and primates can think.

B．Some birds can also be found intelligent.

C．Birds share a common ancestry with humans.

D．Some species are more intelligent than humans.

【3】What’s the ability Alex the parrot hasn’t?

A．Feel.

B．Thought.

C．Imitation.

D．Creativity.

【4】What’s a suitable title for the text?

A．Inside animal minds.

B．An intelligent parrot.

C．On guard against birds.

D．Beyond humans’ thought.

28、Mark Twain was a great writer. He was from the USA. He was born in 1835. He was also a famous speaker. He was famous for his sense of humour. Many people liked to listen to him, because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.

One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes (蚊子) in the town and told him that he’d better not go there. Mark Twain waved his hand and said, “It doesn’t matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. I don’t think they will come to visit me.”

31、Direction: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there one word more than you need

I surveyed more than 30.000 people around the world. These people came from different cultures and were working in various industries. I asked them about how they relate to others: Do they prefer giving or taking?I found that many of them were somewhere in the middle. They fell into a third group, who do something called"matching".

If you are a" matcher," you try to keep a balance between giving and taking: "quid pro quo"--I’ll do something for you if you do something for me. That seems like a safe way to live your life. However, is it the most 【1】 approach on a daily basis?

【2】 the worst performers among those I surveyed- -regardless of their 【3】 or nationalities ---were the givers. The engineers who were the least productive did more favors than they received in return. They were always so busy doing other people’s job that they ran out of time and energy to get their own work done. In medical schools, the lowest grades went to students who said they “loved helping others.” In other words, the doctors you ought to trust are those who did the training with no【4】 to help anybody

However, it turns out that there is a【5】 here---thankfully. Although givers are often sacrificing themselves, they make contribution to their organization. There is a lot of evidence to support this. Research has looked at how often people give to their team or organization. The findings tells us that sharing knowledge and mentoring all boost the performance of the organization on every metric that can be 【6】:profits, customers【7】, employee retention(员工存留率) and so on. Even the operating expenses 【8】.

Givers spend a lot of time trying to help other people and improve their teams, it 【9】seems they suffer along the way. Givers deserve more【10】. As to what it takes to build cultures where givers can get to succeed more often, it requires further research.

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。

It was a Saturday in June, 1988. Out of a 16-year-old’s early tiring summer, I had set up a tent (帐篷) in our rural yard and intended to sleep in it, but I stayed in the house to finish watching the Lakers’ play-off game. It was almost midnight and Dad had been asleep upstairs for hours when someone knocked at the front door. It never happened to me not to answer it.

To my surprise, it was a girl about my age with a bloody cut on her head. “Hi. I’m Maria. What’s wrong with you?” I asked her with concern. Awkward and embarrassed, she replied: “I’m Jane. I…” she hesitated and then asked me carefully, “May I stay here for the night? I’ll be off tomorrow morning” Seeing her uneasiness, I comforted her, “Take it easy, Jane. Stay with me tonight.” I invited her into the house. Looking around, Jane appeared to have calmed down. “Let me treat your injury first,” I said and she agreed.

I cleaned and bandaged (包扎) her injured head and then gave her some bread and meat to eat. “Want to sleep in my tent?" I asked her and she nodded. Having left her in the bathroom, I went to look for another sleeping bag When I returned, Jane was seated on the sofa, her face clouded by sadness. Walking across the dark yard, I went into tent with Jane. We lay down side by side. Caught by curiosity and concern, I turned over again again, wondering what had happen to her and how she came here. Jane seemed to have sensed that and started to speak. Jane’s father died of cancer years before. Her mother did some cleaning jobs to raise her. Money was tight but her mother tried to do what she could to satisfy Jane. Several weeks before, Jane accidentally saw a fine white dress in the store window, which she fell in love with at first sight. She excitedly told her mother about that, who promised to buy it as her birthday gift. From then on, Jane was looking forward to it.
