26、 The hemlock(铁杉) trees along the Wappinger Creek, New York, look healthy. However, scientist Gary Lovett says the white balls which provide protection for the bugs are created by a tiny insect. It’s hard to believe the tiny bug could kill a tree. However, trees can end up with millions and millions of the pests. When there are that many, it ends up killing the tree.
The bug from East Asia is slowly killing trees across the USA. The trouble-making bug is just one of many invasive(入侵的) pests that have slipped into the United States. They can hurt other living things in their new home.
Many invasive pests arrive on wooden pallets(运货板) piled inside shipping containers. They support and separate goods, and keep them from sliding around. Invasive pests often tunnel into the pallets. How can we stop pests from riding on pallets? Lovett says new rules are needed. The companies that make pallets don’t want more rules. Congress has added an amendment(修正案) in the 2018 Farm Bill to try and prevent this problem. However, Lovett is not hopeful it will make much of a difference. Pallets are checked by inspectors. Many are sprayed with bug-killing pesticide. “I believe in the system,” said Brent McClendon, president of The National Wooden Pallet and Container Association. He also said shipping containers are checked very carefully.
Still, each year 13 million containers are shipped to the U. S. Each is full of wooden pallets. Lovett says: “Inspectors can’t possibly check everything. All it takes are a few bad pallets; we should get rid of wooden pallets.” He believes pallets should be made of plastic or eco-composite wood. Eco-composite wood is a mix of wood fiber and plastic. Insects cannot hide into it. One problem is that these choices cost more. They may be worth the extra money, though. Invasive pests cost the U.S. $5 billion a year. Trees don’t just die in forests. They also die in cities and our yards. Then, they need to be replaced. That costs money, too.
【1】All the statements are TRUE except that ________.
A. pesticide has been applied to bug-killing
B. invasive pests are native to Wappinger Creek
C. invasive pests hide in pallets used in shipping
D. the companies making pallets don’t want more rules
【2】What can we infer from the passage?
A. Bugs can be easily spotted by eyes.
B. Bugs ruin the shipping goods slowly.
C. Even tiny bugs could be a threat to a tree.
D. Bugs cover trees with white soft balls to protect tress.
【3】Why does Gary Lovett want to get rid of wooden pallets?
A. Because insects mostly die in them.
B. Because plastic pallets are eco-friendly.
C. Because they are not worth extra money.
D. Because they are the major pest carriers.
【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Invasive pests are harming plants in the USA.
B. Effective measures have stopped the pest invasion.
C. Congress contributes a lot to dealing with invasive pests.
D. Ecosystem in the USA is poorly damaged by invasive woods.
27、Driving is one of necessary skills that each person should have if they wish not to get trouble during their life. You had better start learning to drive when you are eighteen. Experience tells that the older you become, the harder it is to learn to drive.
Learning to drive may be the very last thing on your mind when you graduate from a university, but it is helpful to look for a job and pay off the money which is spent on your study.
So, the best way is to start out early to take driving lessons. Many teens in recent times are choosing not to drive. If so, you are really missing out on a huge part of growing up and losing lots of benefits on a whole. The top reason for not learning to drive is the high costs of driving lessons. But, we are here to tell you why you should ignore the costs and pay much attention to the many advantages.
At times you aren't or can't be depending on public transportation. Those are the times you are probably depending on a friend, or your parents for a ride. Knowing how to drive yourself will make you independent and you wouldn't have to fit your plans according to other people s plans.
In the recent job world, there may be plenty of jobs. However, you won’t be thought to be an eligible candidate(合格的候选人)because you don' t know how to drive.
【1】When is the best time to learn to drive according to the text?
A.When you are in your free time.
B.When you are eighteen.
C.After you have some driving experience.
D.After you find a job.
【2】Why do many teens give up learning to drive?
A.They are busy looking for jobs.
B.They find public transportation more convenient.
C.They are unwilling to pay high cost.
D.They show no interest in driving.
【3】How will you be if you can drive according to paragraph 4?
A.Independent of parents.
B.Easy-going for your workmates.
C.Reliable for your boss.
D.Eligible for jobs.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Why Is Driving Comfortable?
B.Why Should You Learn to Drive?
C.The Methods of Learning to Drive
D.Learn to Drive to Find a Job
28、 Cross-cultural misunderstandings occur when people from one culture do not understand the actions and behavior of people from another culture. Everyone has experienced that feeling of being socially or culturally “off balance” at some stage. It happens when we enter unfamiliar cultural environments and find that things are strange or different. For example, it can occur when a person begins a new job. Until an employee can operate comfortably and successfully within the social and cultural environment of a new workplace, he cannot be fully effective.
Knowing about the diversity of traditional and cultural backgrounds of our customers and colleagues will not automatically rule out misunderstandings. However, if we do know something about it, we can often take steps to prevent misunderstandings from occurring. It is a matter of being aware of when, where and why a misunderstanding may occur.
There may be a language barrier that can make clear communication difficult. The way we communicate is a common cause of misunderstanding. For example, jokes often rely on a creative use of language and sometimes these can be interpreted in many ways, which may be confusing or even offensive.
Non-verbal behavior and body language can be a source of misunderstanding. For example, eye contact can be considered by some people as overly long and therefore rude.
Addressing customers by their first names may not always be inappropriate. Check with your customers how they like to be addressed.
People from different religious or cultural backgrounds or with personal preferences may have specific dietary requirements. Check their requirements when determining any food menus. Offering alcohol to guests whose religion doesn’t allow them to enjoy can create a tense situation at the beginning of a meal.
【1】If a new employee doesn’t perform highly effective, which can be a reason?
A.He can’t understand the working rules well.
B.He is not satisfied with his new occupation.
C.He is not familiar with the new working environment.
D.He usually fails to operate the equipment successfully.
【2】What can a knowledge of the diversity of traditional and cultural backgrounds do?
A.Clear up misunderstandings.
B.Help prevent misunderstandings.
C.Tell us how to predict misunderstandings.
D.Remind us of the existence of misunderstandings.
【3】What would make jokes confusing or even offensive?
A.Rude words used. B.Poor translation.
C.Different understanding. D.Creative thought in them.
【4】Which of the following is a proper way to avoid cultural misunderstanding?
A.Use as little body language as possible.
B.Avoid making eye contact when talking.
C.Address customers always by their first names.
D.Offer your guests food according to their requirements.
29、 “What is the biggest challenge of graduate school?” an undergraduate asked the group of graduate students at an event I helped organize last summer. “Not letting the support from my community turn into pressure,” one member responded. That answer might have surprised some, who probably expected to hear about experiments that didn't work or trudging through academic materials. But I understood exactly what she meant.
Throughout my education, friends and family have expected me to take advantage of every opportunity I come across because I may not get the same chance again. They expect me to give outstanding performances everywhere I go because I represent them and our culture. Mentors(导师) expect that I will never give up. This has been a great source of motivation, but also of pressure.
I remembered a conversation with a mentor. At the end of my first year of graduate school, I struggled with a strong desire to leave the program with a master's degree. I was accustomed to hearing “Don't give up” and “You have to finish”-words that were meant to be motivational. Instead, they made me feel I would be a disappointment if I left. After I discussed the pros and cons of leaving with my mentor, she responded completely different from what I expected. “I support any decision you make,” she said. “I will always be proud of you and your achievements.” Hearing this simple, direct statement of support, I felt every muscle of my body loosen.
My mentor knew the right thing to say, but we can't expect the same from everyone. Sometimes, friends and family ask me, “How long until you get your degree?” As many graduate students will agree, this question is a stress starter. Now, when people in my community-always with the best intentions-say something that creates pressure and makes me feel bad, I tell them and we talk about it. I tell them that I prefer to hear, “Do you need someone to talk to? How can I help you through this rough time?” This was a bit awkward at first. But I've started to notice a change. These days, I get fewer stress-inducing(引起压力的) questions and comments.
【1】Which can replace the underlined word “trudging” in paragraph 1?
A.Struggling.
B.Seeing.
C.Breaking.
D.Cutting.
【2】What can be inferred from paragraph 3 about the author?
A.He was afraid to leave his program.
B.He appreciated what his mentor said.
C.He preferred to discuss pros and cons.
D.He had a strong desire to get a master's degree.
【3】Which does the author prefer to hear when he needs support?
A.Never give up!
B.How about a chat?
C.Have you prepared for the result?
D.Go ahead! I will back you up!
【4】What's the main idea of the text?
A.Value the source of inspiration from your community.
B.Communicate with your community more about study.
C.Find a way to block out support from your community.
D.Let support from your community become less stressful.
30、 I believe we can create our own happiness. I believe the real magic in the world is done by humans.

The job allowed me to ______ about what my life could become.
The first year I worked there, we got robbed. I thought I was going to die.But everything ______ out all right. A lot of people ______ life as a series of miserable tasks, but after that, I didn't.
I believe this is _____ all of us can do: Try to be happy within the context of the life we are actually living. Happiness is not a situation to be longed for or a convergence of luck. Through the power of our own minds, we can help ourselves.

Rapidly advancing technology and its impact on education has been a subject of debate. How can schools equip students with the skills they need to succeed in a challenging job market?
Since technology is driving these changes, there is a theory that governments should keep focusing on STEM subjects. These are often referred to as “hard skills,” which are 【1】 in primary school and right through to university level. In the meantime, ‘soft skills’ are being 【2】.
This is a mistake. Much evidence suggests that soft skills are far more 【3】 to graduates in the long term. Research from Harvard University on the global job market has shown that STEM- related careers grew strongly between 1989 and 2000 but have slowed down since. In contrast, jobs in the creative industries----the sector probably most 【4】 with the need for soft skills---are growing rapidly. Soft skills are, in fact, increasingly in demand in the workplace: Google cites creativity, leadership 【5】 and communication skills as top requirements for both potential and current employees.
So why are soft skills so highly 【6】 for?
With the rapid evolution of technology, a focus on hard skills leaves students 【7】 to change, as these often have a short shelf life. According to research by World Economic Forum, more than one in four adults reports a mismatch between their skills and those needed for their job role. If soft skills are taught well, these skills should enable students to adapt to change more easily and progress further in their 【8】 career.
Of course, technical skills are important. But without the curriculum placing equal--- if not greater --- 【9】 on soft skills, our education systems are missing a huge trick. Hard skills may help a student get a job in a particular industry, but soft skills will help them disrupt it, achieving a wider 【10】 in their chosen field.

A: What will you do when you finish the experiment?

In the USA, the Amish-a Christian group-are famous because they drive 【1】 instead of cars, do not use TVs or refrigerators, and do not have personal telephones. Many people assume the Amish must have 【2】 reasons for their many rules, but this is not true. In truth, whenever a new technology is introduced, the Amish meet and discuss its advantages and disadvantages. They then vote on whether they will accept it. The Amish 【3】 cars because they like having 【4】 communities where everyone lives close together. They have no TVs or refrigerators because their homes do not have electricity-they do not think it is necessary and 【5】 dealing with strangers, such as the people who work at the electric company.

Smell the flowers before you go to sleep and you may just end up with rosy dreams. Have a whiff of rotten(腐烂的)eggs during the night and your dreams may be【1】(pleasant). So says researcher Dr. Boris Stuck, 【2】invited sleeping volunteers to a rose vs. rotten egg test in the University Hospital Mannheim in Germany. The subjects didn’t dream about roses【3】eggs, but rather he found that what they smelt affected the emotions of【4】(they) dreams.
And if you think【5】(smell) have a say in dreams, wait for what TV tells us. A UK study reveals that people exposed【6】black-and-white film and TV in their youth are to have monochromic(单色的)dreams throughout their life more【7】(probable). Eva Murzyn from the University of Dundee tested two age groups— one half 【8】(age) over 55 and【9】other half under 25.
The result? Under 5% of the dreams of the under-25s were in black and white. 【10】(watch)color TV in childhood seems to be the reason why.

For decades, doctors have warned patients that too much salt can be bad for the heart. Heart attack has long beenconsidered a grown-up problem, but new research suggests that salt is starting to affect children. Eating too much salty food when you’re young can lead to health problems later.
Salt is made up of two elements: sodium andchlorine. Dietary guidelines recommend that adults and kids aged 9-13 shouldn’t consume more than about a teaspoon of sodium daily. The average American eats twice this amount.This worries doctors because too much sodium results in the body producing more blood. To pump the extra blood, the heart has to work harder. This causes a rise in blood pressure---a measurement of how stressed the heart is. High blood pressure often leads to heart disease.
A kid with high blood pressure is more likely to become a grown-up with high blood pressure. Reducing salt might also help stop childhood obesity. British researchers recently found that kids who eat less salt also drink fewer sugary soft drinks. Drinking fewer fizzy drinks makes kids less likely to gain weight, become obese and develop high bloodpressure.
Salt can affect more than just your heart and weight. A recent study found that a growing number of kids in theUSaresuffering from kidney stones. This painful condition usually affects people aged over 40. Now, kids as young as five are getting it.
Cutting down on salt can be hard, but you can retrain yourself to prefer less salty food. The best way to reduce the amount of sodium you eat is to make changes gradually. Start by adding half as much salt to your dinner as you normally do. Switch to fresh foods instead of canned and bottled versions. And go easy on the condiments. You might also want to start reading nutrition labels. You may be surprised to learn that there are1,150 mg of sodium in a double cheeseburger, and over 2,000 mg in many frozen meals.
