26、   Living near the ocean is good for health, but not all people can afford it. However, those who can certainly gain a lot of health benefits.

【1】 As we know, because people living near a shore get enough time to swim in sea water, they naturally tend to be stronger. Physicians have been recommending visits to coasts that specialize in providing sea water cleansing treatment, which improves the immune system.

Living near the ocean promotes physical activities. The seashore encourages outdoor activities like jogging on the sand, beach volleyball, scuba diving, surfing, etc. 【2】

Fresh air helps get sleep. Fresh ocean air enables us to consume oxygen, adding to good health. It also helps people feel more relaxed. 【3】 Little by little, this leads to better sleep after spending more time near the beaches.

Living near the ocean can help us absorb more Vitamin D. 【4】Thus, natural sunlight, along with the sun rays which bounce back from the sand and the ocean, is an excellent supply for our everyday need of Vitamin D.

Living near the ocean is helpful in meditation. 【5】 It helps people free from all worries of the past or the future. We get totally tuned to the present and become calm, as we listen to the rise and fall of waves.

29、 Many people may not believe it, but this is what is happening: polar bears are dying out! They are dying because they are losing a great deal of habitat due to human incursion（侵入）and global warming.  They are dying because of starvation as well.  With the sea ice they depend on for survival shrinking, it is becoming increasingly difficult for them to find food.

An ecosystem is highly dependent on all of its parts, and removing even a single species can result in serious consequences.  Polar bears are at the top of the predators（捕食性动物）where they live.  They play an important part in the ecosystem.  They feed on seals, fish and deer.  Several other animals depend on the kill of polar bears.  The failure to save polar bears might result in loss of these predators.

In addition, all large predators perform a very important function in their habitat: helping to control the populations of other species.  When an animal group loses its natural predators, its population will rise rapidly, having a direct result in population decrease of other groups.  A huge boom in population of Arctic seals would have a direct effect on the prey(捕食) of seals, and could reduce numbers of certain types of fish.

This could also have a direct effect on humans, who might have to compete with Arctic seals for food supplies from fish. Lack of polar bears could eventually affect human food supply. Human beings shall save polar bears to ensure the food supply.

There is no doubt that we should save polar bears.  However, there is still another question: can they be saved? This is a matter that scientists debate because of rapid degradation（恶化）of the polar bear’ environment in recent years due to warming temperatures.  It is estimated that if the bears cannot adapt to changing climates, they might die out before the end of the 21st century, with about 50% of the animals disappearing by 2050. So time is running out!

There are some things that may help slow down global warming and help delay extinction of polar bears.  These include finding new energy sources that don’t give off greenhouse gases and not making any more incursions into polar bear’s territory.

【1】Which is NOT the threat to the survival of polar bears according to the passage?

A. Human’s killing. B. Global warming.

C. Habitat loss.   D. Lack of food.

【2】Why do we need to save polar bears?

A. For the predators in the ecosystem.

B. For the seals in Arctic Circle.

C. For our own source of food.

D. For our environment.

【3】If bears can’t adapt to changing climates, we will probably have lost _____  by the middle of the 21st century.

A. half of polar bears

B. most of polar bears

C. 90% of polar bears

D. all of polar bears

【4】We can infer that   _____ .

A. nothing can prevent the extinction of polar bears

B. drilling for oil in the Arctic should be encouraged

C. polar bears can surely adapt to changing climates

D. using solar energy is good for saving polar bears

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

An hour’s nap at work may help IT programmers to write better code(编码), according to recently published research. So it does the same to children in learning. Traditionally seen as the 【1】 of older people or the very young, experts now say that a midday nap can reserve information overload,【2】 information processing and aid learning. These findings from Harvard University have important implications for learning real-life skills, including those 【3】 with sports, playing a musical instrument and IT workplace situations such as complex software coding.

The studies suggest that the brain uses sleep to restore overused brain circuits and strengthen the 【4】 of actions and skills learned during the day. They have found that any amount of sleep, even a short nap, appears to improve our ability to 【5】 information and to learn. As part of the research, volunteers were trained to perform a complex visual task and were then 【6】 into three groups where some had no sleep, others a 30-minute “power” nap and another group a one-hour nap. The longer they slept, the better they performed. Researchers believe 【7】 that the brain continues to learn after training has stopped and this learning only occurs during the sleep.

According to the website www.self-hypnosis.co.un, self-hypnotism(催眠) will improve your self confidence, help you to 【8】 anxiety, sleep better, enjoy public speaking and create concentration and focus. The website gives advice on how to perform self-hypnosis at work. It recommends going to the toilet, a quiet room or even taking in some fresh air in the local park. Sit down, close your eyes and recall a time when you felt 【9】 and then focus on relaxing all the parts of your body. Try this for 10-20 minutes and you should 【10】 an increase in mental agility(机敏), creativity and problem-solving skills.

32、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Could goats become our new best friends?

In a new paper in the journal Biology Letters, researchers from QMUL's School of Biological and Chemical Sciences found that goats respond to people by gazing at them when facing a problem they cannot solve alone, and their responses change depending on the person's behaviour.

To investigate, the team trained goats to remove a lid from a box to receive a reward. They made the reward inaccessible and recorded their reaction. In the test, the goats redirected their gaze frequently between the inaccessible reward and human experimenters. They also gazed towards a forward facing person earlier, more often and for longer compared to when the person was facing away.

The results provide strong evidence for complex communication between humans and goats, which were domesticated primarily for agricultural production, and show similarities with animals bred to become pets or working animals, such as dogs and horses.

The research indicates that the domestication of animals has a much broader impact on our knowledge about human-animal relationship than previously believed. For example, it's thought that the capacity of dogs to be aware of information from humans is the result of changes to the brain from becoming a companion animal through domestication.

“Goats were the first livestock species to be domesticated, about 10,000 years ago,” said lead author Dr Alan McElligott from the School's Department of Biological and Experimental Psychology.

From our research, we know that many domesticated animals for agricultural production are smarter than their reputation suggests, and these results show how they can communicate and interact with their human handlers just as pets or working animals.

The researchers hope the study will lead to a better understanding of how skilled livestock are in their ability to solve problems and interact with humans. They also wish that an improvement in animal welfare would be reached ultimately.
