26、The skin under the eyes is delicate, which is why it sometimes appears sunken and has darker coloring than elsewhere on the face. Aging and health problems play a role in sunken eyes but other factors can contribute too, so it may affect younger people as well.
Dehydration
The most common cause of sunken eyes is dehydration, or not having enough water in the body. Consuming too much coffee, soda, and prepackaged drinks may increase production of urine, which may lead to dehydration.
Vitamin shortages
Shortages of vitamin C, vitamin K, and iron can cause eyes to become sunken. Vitamin C helps with absorbing iron and decreasing bruising, while vitamin K is responsible for blood thickening, the lack of which may cause unhealthy skin. Easy bruising and unhealthy skin will result in sunken eyes.
Weight loss
Most people tend to lose weight in their face first. Sometimes, the weight loss is sudden enough to make blood vessels below the eyes easy to see, and the skin clear, producing the appearance of sunken eyes. Sudden weight loss may also cause nutritional shortages, which can lead to sunken eyes.
Not enough sleep or poor-quality sleep can cause sunken eyes and a person’s DNA or the habit of smoking can also contribute to sunken eyes. Most cases of sunken eyes relate to the quality of an individual’s nutrition and healthy living. When these causes are corrected, sunken eyes can be resolved without further treatment. This means that causes can be avoided or treated in good time to prevent the recurrence of sunken eyes.
【1】What can we do to prevent dehydration according to the text?
A.Have certain drinks less.
B.Refuse coffee.
C.Drink more water.
D.Say no to soft drinks.
【2】What will lead to bruising below the eyes?
A.Lack of vitamin K.
B.Water shortages.
C.Lack of vitamin C.
D.Nutritional shortages.
【3】Which of the following should be avoided for people losing weight?
A.Pale faces.
B.Sudden weight loss.
C.Clean skin.
D.Narrow blood vessels.
27、We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively. We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.
We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it’s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.
Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay(传闻) and rumor.
Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed.
That’s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.
This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.
【1】According to the passage, active learning may occur in ________.
A.reading scientific journals
B.listening to the teacher in class
C.doing a chemical experiment
D.watching news programmes on TV
【2】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Classroom.
B.Newspapers.
C.Active learning.
D.Passive learning.
【3】The game Rumor is mentioned in Paragraph 4 in order to tell readers that ________.
A.playing games can make people more active
B.people tend to like telling lies when playing games
C.a message may be changed when being passed on
D.people may have problems with their sense of hearing
【4】What can be inferred from the text?
A.Scholars and authors can’t be trusted.
B.Passive learning may not be reliable.
C.People like spreading rumors in daily life.
D.Active learning is more Important than passive learning.
28、 It's hard to imagine a person today who would not be able to recognize at least one of Charles Schulz's beloved cartoon characters.
For the older generation, the beloved Peanuts strip continues to run in newspapers worldwide today. For the younger generation, Snoopy merchandise was part and parcel of growing up. For even younger fans the 2015 Peanuts movie will make sure that the memory of Charlie Brown, Lucy and Snoopy will not fade with time, like its pencil counterpart.
Peanuts is memorialized especially in Sonoma County California. The county is home to the Charles M. Schulz Museum, the well-known guardian angel of Schulz's memory. Schulz moved there in 1958 eight years after Peanuts made its debut in newspapers.
Although Schulz decided to put down lasting rots in the warm and sunny southwest, he often thought of his hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota. He remembered that in his childhood, every sidewalk in front of every school had a sheet of ice at least ten feet long, worn smooth from the kids sliding on it. Just over ten years later, Schulz purchased an old ice rink and opened Snoop's Home Ice, the Redwood Empire Ice Arena, which bordered the property housing his studio. Whenever the snowy days of his childhood crossed his mind, Schulz was eager to allow his children to enjoy the hobbies he pursued in his youth, and encouraged them to pick up ice hockey and figure skating. That's why the cold winters in his drawings always remind people of the Midwest.
Schulz spent the last thirty years of his life on this property. He wrote in his studio, ate in the Warm Puppy Café at the ice rink and enjoyed, as he described it "hanging out." The artist passed away in his sleep on February 12, 2002, one day before his final original Sunday strip appeared in newspapers around the world.
The Peanuts strip follows the lives of children but they were by no means Schulz's target audience. Instead, Schulz holds the camera at a child's level and observes the truths of adult life from their perspective. Themes of love, loss and failure were throughout his work, all of which were inspired by events in his own life. It is Schulz's gentle, humorous explanation of the world's hash realities that ensures Peanuts will be preserved in years to come.
【1】What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 2 most probably refer to?
A.The Peanuts strips that appeared in newspapers.
B.The Snoopy patterns printed on clothes.
C.The animated cartoon adapted from the Peanuts strips.
D.The original manuscripts drawn by Charles M. Schulz.
【2】Which of the following CANNOT be used to describe Charles M. Schulz?
A.Depressed. B.Creative.
C.Humorous. D.Clever.
【3】What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?
A.Schulz moved to Sonoma County because he hated the cold climate in his hometown.
B.Schulz's childhood experiences in his hometown inspired the winter scenes in Peanuts.
C.Schulz's life in Sonoma County was the main source of inspiration for his drawings.
D.Schulz opened an ice rink because his children enjoyed ice hockey and figure skating
【4】Which of the following with statements is TRUE according to this article?
A.Peanuts is popular with people of all ages around the world.
B.Schulz's hometown is the best place for Peanuts fans to memorize him.
C.Schulz created the Peanuts strip for his children
D.Peanuts reveals the truths of loss and failure through the eyes of adults.
29、 Many millions of tonnes of televisions, phones, and other electronic equipment are abandoned each year, partly because it’s cheaper to replace them than fix them, but also because we lack the skills to repair them. A UN report claims the 50 million tonnes of e-waste generated every year will more than double to 110 million tonnes by 2050, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the world.
However, there’s a growing trend for repair events and clubs which could be part of a solution to the growing amount of electrical and electronic junk. The BBC visited a Restart Project in London and one of its volunteers, Francesco Calo, said that “this project allow you to reduce waste, extend the life of objects, and it helps people who cannot afford to get rid of items that are developed a fault.”
As many electrical items contain valuable metals, another idea is e-waste mining. An experiment at the University of New South Wales involves extracting these materials from electronic gadgets. It’s thought that doing this could be more profitable than traditional mining. With phones typically containing as many as 60 elements, this could be part of the solution to our appetite for new technology.
These projects make total sense-collections of e-waste for recycling are “stagnating or even decreasing” according to Ruediger Kuehr, of the United Nations University. And in countries where there is no legislation, much of it just gets dumped. However, the European Union, for example, is trying to tackle the problem by insisting manufacturers have to make appliances longer-lasting and will have to supply spare parts for machines for up to 10 years.
【1】What does the underlined word “generate” in paragraph I mean?
A.kept B.invented
C.produced D.introduced
【2】Which of the following statements is true?
A.We must fix electronic equipment instead of replacing them.
B.Many electronic items contain more than 60 elements.
C.A Restart Project helps people learn to repair electronic items..
D.E-waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the world.
【3】Which is the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Solving the problem of e-waste B.Reducing the use of electrical items
C.Recycling electronic equipment D.Getting rid of electrical and electronic junk
【4】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Repairing electrical items is the main solution to e-waste.
B.Longer-lasting electronic products will appear in the future European Market.
C.E-waste generated every year has doubled to 110 million tonnes.
D.E-waste mining will gradually take the place of traditional mining.
30、Making My Own Bicycle
It was a Saturday morning. James and I were at the Bamboo Bicycle Club, ready for our bamboo bicycle building course.
The first step was setting up the structure for holding the frame (骨架) in place. After that we were told to _______ the bamboo to be of use, which was a delicate job. There were several things to _______. Of course, finding pieces that were the color we wanted was just as important.
The rest of the afternoon was spent _______ each piece of the frame into the structure. Bamboo is fairly flexible, and this particular _______ meant that some adjustments were really necessary. One problem lining up the two chains causes _______ made our frame useless. Luckily, however, after some careful _______, we confirmed that it was alright. There was just enough space to fit a wheel.
On Sunday morning we returned to the workshop to complete the final _______. We began to tightly wrap each joint on the frame, to keep it _______ with natural fibers kept in special glue. All that was left now was for it to dry. In a few hours we would be official members of the Bamboo Bicycle Club.
Finally we finished our job. I couldn’t wait to _______ our bicycle to find out what it was really like to ride a bamboo bicycle. It felt just as ________ as any bicycle, but softer and more relaxed. Now, every time I get on our bicycle, I can’t help smiling. It reminds me of when James and I built it and makes me proud of myself.
