26、Recently some American scientists have given a useful sincere piece of advice to people in industrialized nations that they would be much healthier if they ate more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago.

The scientists say that the human body has changed very little since humans first appeared on the earth, but the way we live has changed greatly. Our body has not been able to deal with (处理,对付)these changes in life style and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times, so they are called “ diseases of civilization”. Many cancers and diseases of the blood system, including heart attacks and strokes (中风) are examples of such diseases.

Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol (酒精) or tobacco (烟草), probably none. Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise, but a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.

Stone-age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic or tame ones (家畜). They also ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They didn’t have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. But today, we eat a large amount of these. We eat six times more salt than our remote ancestors (祖先). We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein (蛋白质) and much less vitamin C.

People today probably do not want to live the way people thousands of years ago did, but scientists say that we would be much healthier if we ate much the same way as remote ancestors did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.

【1】According to the passage, people in industrialized nations would be much healthier if they ate___________.

A. more food than humans living 10,000 years ago did.

B. as much food as humans living 10,000 years ago did

C. more kinds of food eaten by people living over 10,000 years ago.

D. more of the same kind of food eaten by people over 10,000 years ago.

【2】New kinds of sicknesses have been found because __________.

A. the human body has changed compared with humans who first appeared on the earth.

B. the way we live has changed a little.

C. our body can’t deal with the changes in life style.

D. the way we live today is proper for the human body.

【3】What is the main cause that people suffer from a lot of new sicknesses?

A. Ancient people did a great deal of physical exercise.

B. People today have a lot of alcohol.

C. People today have more tobacco.

D. Food today is quite different from that of ancient times.

【4】According to some scientists , Stone-age people were much healthier than people today because they ate a lot of _____________.

A. milk and other dairy products.   B. wild animals, fresh wild vegetables and fruits.

C. salt and sugar   D. grain foods

27、Each year, the US Social Security Administration releases a list of the most popular baby names of the year. Nearly every citizen is registered (登记) with the organization, making it easy to create an accurate list.

【1】 For example, names such as Dorothy (for girls) and Walter (for boys) were popular in the 1910s. But these days, these names are considered to be old-fashioned. 【2】 Other examples of old-fashioned names include Gladys and Ethel (for girls) and Howard and Clarence (for boys).

The list also shows which names are most common during a certain decade. 【3】 It happens to be my name.

But some more unusual names have increased in popularity in recent years. From 2016 to 2017, the names “Wells” and “Kairo” (for boys) and “Ensley” and “Oaklynn” (for girls) all became more popular. But these names are still quite rare compared to more ordinary names.

【4】 For example, the name “Isabella” saw a huge jump in popularity in 2009. This was because of the success of the Twilight film series, in which one of the main characters is named Isabella. 【5】

A．Even pop culture can influence how popular names become.

B．Some even refer to them as “old people names”.

C．Picking a name for their baby is often a headache for parents.

D．The list shows that society and culture change overtime.

E．It has been one of the most popular names in the US for almost a century.

F．For example, in the 1980s, when I was born, the most common name was Michael.

G．But it’s ordinary names like John and Jane that have always been popular and probably always will be.

28、   That warm day was the only day of the week without rain.I opened the door, took a seat and began to enjoy the wonderful sunshine.Suddenly, I noticed that the house near mine had been sold.An elderly lady was in front of the door, with some beautiful flowers beside her. I walked to her. She looked to be in her early eighties and had the prettiest white hair.

“Hi!My name is Karmen,” I said smiling brightly at the old lady. She smiled back and said, “Hello,Karmen.I’m Kitty.” Her voice was very strong for someone at her age. Later, I learned that she was alone and had no family or relatives to help her. From that day on, I often visited her and helped her with her housework and sometimes she gave me some delicious food. A year passed, and I considered her to be one of my best friends.

One day, I walked over for my morning visit and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I knocked again, and she still didn’t turn up. So I let myself in, using the key she had given me. I checked her living room and then her kitchen. I finally went into her bedroom, and she was lying peacefully on her bed. Beside her there were two notes. One was her will (遗嘱), which said all that she had would be given to me. The other was a thank-you note. I went to her bedside and cried sadly.

Though several years has gone by, I still miss her deeply. Whenever I look at the beautiful flowers in front of her house, I remember the wonderful friendship we had.

29、   Antiquities are ancient objects and artworks. Many people visit museums to view antiquities. They enjoy seeing these relics of the ancient world as a way of understanding past cultures and sometimes connecting with their own heritage.

Museums get works to show from many different sources. Sometimes they buy them. Other times they receive donations. Today there are strict guidelines forbidding art that has been stolen from other countries. However, antiquities that have been at museums for many years or even centuries may have arrived there by dishonest means. Now, some countries say that museums have a duty to return these antiquities to their original locations.

Should museums return the antiquities? Experts disagree. Malcolm Bell says yes. Bell is a professor of art at the University of Virginia. He says, “Many antiquities and works of art have special cultural value for a particular community or nation. When these works are taken from their original cultural setting, they lose their context and the culture loses a part of its history.”

According to Bell, a country’s request for the return of an antiquity “usually has a strong legal basis.” “It was exported (出口) illegally, probably also dug out illegally, and is now stolen property (财物).” He called the return of antiquities “an expression of justice”.

James Cuno says not always. Cuno is the president of the J. Paul Getty Trust, an art museum in Los Angeles. Cuno agrees that museums have a legal duty to return illegally exported antiquities. However, he doesn’t support the return of works which were got legally. “Land held today by a given nation-state in the past likely belonged to a different country...even if one wanted to return those stolen works of art, where would one do so? Which among the many countries, cities, and museums that own parts of a work of art should be the home of the returned work?” Cuno believes that museums should collect art from the world’s various cultures. This should be done “through buying or long-term loan (长期租借) and working together with museums and nations around the world.”

This debate is far from over. As a complex question with no easy answer, the issue requires more study.

【1】What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?

A.Museums got antiquities through various means.

B.Antiquities from other countries are more valuable.

C.Antiquities are greatly appreciated by foreign visitors.

D.Museums around the world have lost many antiquities.

【2】Both Bell and Cuno seem to agree that ___________.

A.illegally-owned antiquities should not be shown

B.museums should return illegally-owned antiquities

C.antiquities from other countries may lose its cultural value

D.museums should collect antiquities from different cultures

【3】What is the author’s attitude toward the issue?

A.Positive. B.Negative.

C.Objective. D.Uninterested.

【4】Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

I: Introduction P: Point SP: Sub-point C: Conclusion

A. B.

C. D.
