26、Only a few people in Toronto have the luck to live within walking distance from their workplace.For the rest of us， commuting (乘车上下班) is a rather unpleasant daily necessity.

So how do you avoid a traffic jam in Toronto？ You can do it in the old way and listen to one of the radio stations that give regular updates about the traffic situation in Toronto’s streets.Seeing the big picture of Toronto’s traffic and knowing when and where heavy traffic occurs is a must.From my own experience， there are situations where a quick decision can help you make it in time for an event or a meeting.That’s why we prepared three short videos showing the overall traffic situation in Toronto from dawn to night.You can click them and watch.

With the help of “Google Maps”， where you can watch the live traffic density all over the world and average traffic data based on past conditions， we were able to provide you with traffic maps for a typical (平常的) Friday.

Friday traffic in Toronto is quite fast in the early morning，with only a few hot spots showing up at the major junctions (交叉点) at 7：00 am.The morning traffic jam starts light at 7：30 and the traffic gradually slows down to reach a breaking point at 8：30.The roads are quite free afterwards， only Allen Road is likely to be jammed around lunchtime from 11 ： 30 am to 12：00 noon.It comes as no surprise that Friday afternoon brings heavy traffic as early as 1：00 pm， mainly on the Don Valley Parkway.You won’t have a good time getting away from the city from 4：00 pm to 6：30 pm， as there is a good chance to get caught in a traffic jam.The traffic in Toronto is quite heavy on a Friday night.I hope you will have a nice Friday night in the city and a safe journey home this Friday！

28、   NASA has observed a strange effect of human spaceflight: astronauts' blood going backwards and clotting (凝固).The observations could have serious effects on plans to send astronauts to Mars and to allow tourism in space.

An unnamed astronaut on the International Space Station(ISS) was carrying out a scan on his body - guided by experts on the ground. Similar test before the astronaut went to space came back normal, but the scan taken in space revealed a clot of blood, appalling NASA doctors. "We were not expecting this. This has never been reported before,”  said NASA scientist Karina Marshall-Goebel.

The astronaut didn't have any clot-related symptoms, but was given blood-thinning medication for the rest of his time in orbit to prevent more clots forming.

NASA researchers then observed the jugular veins of 11 astronauts on the ISS, and in five of those 11 astronauts, blood flow in jugular vein had stopped. The jugular vein is one of the most important parts of the body, which runs between the heart and the head, draining (使流走) oxygenated blood from the brain. This “draining" process is an essential way to reduce pressure in the brain. Blood that doesn't move normally through the body is a major concern because it can lead to clotting, which can cause more serious problems like damage to the lungs.

The blood in the jugular vein also began moving in the opposite direction (from the heart towards the head) for two astronauts. NASA scientists described this as “extremely abnormal” : and said that the blood may have switched directions due to a blockage. A similar phenomenon has been observed on Earth for patients with tumours (肿瘤)that force blood to find a different route to the heart.

“I think it was probably scary for everybody. But I think the fact that we found this now is really, really good news, because if you know this is a risk factor of spaceflight, it's something that you can monitor and prevent," said Ms Marshall-Goebel.

【1】What does the underlined word “appalling” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Relaxing

B．Embarrassing

C．Attracting

D．Shocking

【2】What can be learned about blood flow in the jugular vein?

A．It seems to clot frequently.

B．It keeps the brain oxygenated.

C．It places great pressure on the brain.

D．It usually runs through the heart to the head.

【3】What might NASA scientists do next?

A．Monitor various risk factors of spaceflights.

B．Find ways to deal with astronauts' blood clots.

C．Create an Earth-like environment for astronauts.

D．Explore reasons for the blood changing directions.

【4】What's the best title for the text?

A．Astronauts experience faster blood flow in space

B．Astronauts' blocked veins bring medical insight

C．Astronauts' blood flows backwards in space

D．Astronauts are suffering from serous blood diseases

29、Channel Islands

The two main islands, Jersey and Guernsey, are remarkable in that they present a combination of enjoyment peace and quiet. Neither island is very big (only ten miles long) and so all parts of these coasts are easily reached from the main centers — St. Helier and St. Peter Port. In both these towns and particularly in Jersey's St. Helier are concentrated (集中) the amusements of really big resorts (休养地). The nearness of France gives a continental atmosphere; the weather is far better than that in England. The other three islands, Jethou, Herm and Sark are small and quiet.

Isles of Scilly

The islands are really small and quiet; and the weather is warm but windy. The islands are excellent for those who enjoy exploring (探险) small inlets (水湾), creeks (小溪) and bays on foot, or even better in a boat.

Isle of Wight

The island is 24 miles across and therefore quite large. The scenery is good and varied. The resorts are neither overlarge nor showy. The crowds seem content with entertaining but quieter holidays. The island has the best sunshine record in Britain.

Isle of Man

An island with unique atmosphere — in some indefinable (难以描述的) way it is different from England, Scotland or Wales. Thirty miles long, with good roads and good public transport，the mountains，hills and glens (幽谷) are easily reached. Douglas is a major British resort and other resorts are lively.

【1】Which is the largest of the islands mentioned?

A.Herm. B.The Isle of Man.

C.The Isle of Wight. D.Jersey.

【2】If you want to be fairly sure you would have a lot of sun on holiday, which island would you choose?

A.The Channel Islands. B.The Isle of Man.

C.The Isle of Wight. D.The Scilly Isle.

【3】If you are having a holiday on Jersey, where would you go for amusement?

A.Douglas. B.Sandown.

C.St. Helier. D.St. Peter Port.

【4】In which way are the Channel Islands different from all the other island holiday places

A.The coasts are easily reached from the main centers.

31、课文填空

New ideas and values gradually replaced old ones from the Middle Ages. As a result, painters concentrated less on religious themes. They began to adopt a more 【1】attitude to life. An important breakthrough during this period was the use of【2】by Masaccio (1401-1428).【3】painters such as Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), Michelangelo (1475-1564), and Raphael (1483-1520) built upon Giotto and Masaccio’s innovations to produce some of the greatest art that Europe had ever seen.
