26、Something in chocolate could be used to stop coughs and lead to more effective medicines, say UK researchers.

Their study found that theobromine, found in cocoa, was nearly a third more effective in stopping coughs than codeine, which was considered the best cough medicine at present.

The Imperial College London researchers who published their results online said the discovery could lead to more effective cough treatment. “While coughing is not necessarily harmful, it can have a major effect on the quality of life, and this discovery could be a huge step forward in treating this problem,” said Professor Peter Barnes.

Ten healthy volunteers were given theobromine, codeine or placebo, a pill that contains no medicine, during the experiment. Neither the volunteers nor the researchers knew who received which pill. The researchers then measured levels of capsaicin, which is used in research to cause coughing and as a sign of how well the medicine is stopping coughs.

The team found that, when the volunteers were given theobromine, the capsaicin needed to produce a cough was around a third higher than in the placebo group. When they were given codeine they need only slightly higher levels of capsaicin to cause a cough compared with the placebo.

The researchers said that theobromine worked by keeping down a nerve activity (神经活动), which causes coughing. They also found that unlike some standard cough treatments, theobromine caused no side effects such as sleepiness.

【1】According to Professor Barnes, theobromine ______.

A. cannot be as effective as codeine

B. can be harmful to people’s health

C. cannot be separated from chocolate

D. can be a more effective cure for coughs

【2】We learn from the text that volunteers in the experiment _______.

A. were patients with bad coughs

B. were divided into three groups

C. received standard treatments

D. suffered little side effects

【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. Codeine: A New Medicine

B. Chocolate May Cure Coughs

C. Cough Treatment: A Hard Case

D. Theobromine Can Cause Coughs

28、   Washing habits have changed over the years. In the 16th century, most people had a bath once a month...if they were lucky. Up until the 1950s, it was once a week. Only just recently has the concept of daily showering become popular.But now, according to the New York Times, things are changing again.

The latest trend is known as “soap­dodging”. It basically consists of washing less, having fewer showers and using less soap.“I just wash my hair once a month now, ” said Brett Dawson, a 32­year­old management consultant.“I have just one bath a week,” said Miriam Bayliss, a 28­year­old accountant.

And it appears to be growing in popularity.A poll last year for tissue manufacturer SCA found that 41% of British men and 33% of women don’t shower every day.And 12% of people have a proper wash just once or twice a week.Further research by Mintel found that more than half of British teenagers don’t wash every day—with many opting for a quick spray of deodorant(除臭剂) to mask any smell.But why?

There are a variety of reasons.Some claim that daily hair­washing is unnecessary.Commentator Matthew admitted that he hadn’t shampooed his hair for a decade.Others say they just don’t have the time. In 2008, the chemist Boots reported a 45% rise in sales of dry shampoo—a product that can be sprayed on hair between showers.

And some people want to help the environment.“I limit my showers to about twice a week, ” said Nigel Hamerstone, a 42­year­old architect.“The rest of the time I have a sink wash.” he adds, “I believe that I’m as clean as everyone else, and it’s helped get my water consumption down to around 20 litres a day—well below the 100 to 150 average in the UK.”

So, will you be joining the new “washing revolution”？

【1】Before the 1950s, how often did people have a bath?

A.Never. B.Every day. C.Frequently. D.Once in a while.

【2】What does “It” refer to in Paragraph 2?

A.Soap­dodging. B.Taking a shower.

C.Washing hair. D.The washing habit.

【3】Why does Nigel Hamerstone limit his showers to twice a week?

A.To save his time. B.To avoid the trouble.

C.To save water resources. D.To cut the cost of living.

29、   Traveling alone can be daunting (令人畏缩的), I have traveled by myself many times but, on every occasion, there was someone to meet me at the other end of the bus, train or plane journey. 【1】 Last week I had a holiday from work, but none of my friends had the same week off. I decided that I still wanted to do something, so I booked a train ride to Toronto and reserved a bed in a hostel for one week.

One week by myself. 【2】 Would I be bored? Quite the opposite. In fact, there are many benefits that come from traveling alone. Firstly, I was able to do whatever I wanted. I spent hours in museums learning the related history, which would have seemed boring and dull to some of my friends, I walked all around the city, which some people may have found too exhausting. 【3】 I discovered my independence and developed map-reading skills that I didn't know I had. I could get up and go to sleep when I wanted and I didn’t have to wait for anyone else to shower and get ready every morning. Being in the safe environment of a hostel with like-minded travelers also gives a great opportunity to meet new people from all over the world, which can help combat loneliness.

【4】 I missed having someone to talk to. Experiences are often more enjoyable if they are shared, and part of the fun of traveling is the memories you have afterwards. Without a travel partner, I won’t be able to laugh about and remember my Toronto adventure with a friend or family member in years to come.

In addition, those days, I found eating in restaurant or cooking in the hostel was less fun on my own. I am very proud of myself for traveling alone, and I had a fantastic time in Toronto. 【5】 Though, maybe it depends on who you travel with — I would rather be by myself than with someone who is lazy, difficult and argumentative.

A．However, in the future, I think I will always prefer to travel with another person or in a small group.

B．In spite of the benefits, I found that there were also some disadvantages of traveling alone.

C．Instead of relying on someone else to remember directions or to suggest activities to do,

D．Would I be alarmed?

E．This time was different.

F．Would I be lonely?

G．Apart from turning to some strangers for help occasionally when in trouble,

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

It is not unusual for us to gather with our nearest and dearest on the weekends. But do you know that holidays, much like relationships, can be “made, 【1】 and broken” through conversations? Deborag Tannen, a Georgetown University linguistics（语言学）professor, believes so. She offers suggestions to improve communication at the holiday table and beyond. Let’s take a look.

A round dining table is best for 【2】 a lively conversation because everyone faces one another.

Avoid 【3】 grandparents at the ends of a rectangular table, even though it is the traditional place of honor. Elderly people may feel lonely there because they will be 【4】 to hear or keep up with a conversation.

Women prefer to face each other and make eye contact when they talk. Men might look around at other things. “Guys may be more relaxed keeping staring on the TV,” says Tannen. “They’ll still be 【5】, though.”

Be 【6】 that people have different ways of talking. Each person has a different sense of tone, rhythm, timing and how long of a pause is normal in a conversation. Pay attention to people who seem left out. If you feel you are doing all the talking, hold back to give others a chance to join in. If you feel you aren’t getting a chance to speak, try pushing yourself to start talking before it seems natural or 【7】.

Some families find that gatherings go more 【8】 if they participate in an outdoor activity. Going to a park for a walk may be more 【9】 than sitting around chatting.
