26、Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.

I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund (基金).

For weeks, I’ve been thinking of bigger, deeper questions. How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball-simple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.

We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.

【1】What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects?

A．Saving up for her holiday

B．Raising money for a poor girl money

C．Adding the money to her fund

D．Giving the money to a sick mother

【2】Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd?

A．To try out an idea.

B．To show a parent’s love

C．To train his attention.

D．To help him start a hobby

【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Take it or Leave it

B．A Lesson from Kids

C．The Pleasure of Giving

D．Live More with Less

27、Many teens in high school want to try out for sports. A lot of them try out because they think it will make them popular or get them more dates. While this may seem like a silly reason, there are lots of other benefits to sports that your children may fail to notice.

With TV, movies, computers and video games becoming more and more popular, it has become so much easier for teens to be by themselves rather than going out with friends. Kids used to go hang out at the mall or drive around town; now they just sit at home. Getting your teens into a sport gives them a chance to go out and spend time with other people socially. While they may not find a new best friend, they will learn how to communicate with one another and work as a team and they’ll find something useful later in life.

More and more kids are becoming overweight. Joining a team sport will help teens get out and get some exercise without feeling pressured to lose weight or get in shape. What’s more, if your teens see that their physical condition is causing them to under-perform, they may be encouraged to do other activities to get healthy. By the time your children reach their teenager year, part of good parenting will be providing them with direction and encouragement and continuing to help them develop a healthy style of living.

These days, it’s becoming harder to show your teenagers that you love and support them. A great way to do this is by showing up to their game, helping them practice, and helping with team fundraisers. These are also great ways to spend time with your kids and talk to them.

You may think “but my teen isn’t good enough to make their school team”. There are plenty of other places besides school to play team sports. You can always check out “for-fun” teams. You could look into more unknown sports that you may not have thought of, did you know that bowling is a NCAA team sports If you do a little research, you’re sure to find something your teen will enjoy.

Team sports are a great way for teens to get out of the house, get moving, make friends, and even get a scholarship to college. So why not talk to them about getting into sports today

【1】After joining a sport, children may___________.

A．lose weight without any pressure

B．find little pressure in learning

C．be forced to do some exercise

D．be provided with good parenting

【2】What does the under lined word “this” refer to?

A．To help teens develop a healthy lifestyle.

B．To show love to your teens.

C．To enable teens to know more about new places.

D．To motivate teens to get healthy.

【3】Why did the author write this passage?

A．To explain some non-competitive sports.

B．To encourage parents to join their children in sports.

C．To introduce the advantages of sports for teens.

D．To stress the importance of teamwork in sports.

28、   My first trip to Greece took place in the 1960s. There I accepted a challenge to hitchhike(搭便车)with a group of English friends from my university in Birmingham to Athens with little money.For me, a 20-year-old girl, I had not done anything like this before. It was so hard on the road.We slept in the open air, ate little more than bread and cheese, and depended heavily on the help of strangers. But it helped me learn about European society.

One day, my Greek friend came to see me at the youth hostel and asked me to step outside.He was angry with me. He reminded me of my social background and asked what my parents would say if they saw me living in these conditions like these “dirty” English. After several weeks on the road, we did look tired; but his choice of the word “dirty” interested me. He was showing a historic dislike of the English that some Europeans had. In that part of Europe,both the Turks and the Greeks, who dislike each other to this day, blamed(责怪) the English for their national disasters. He ignored my explanations of having accepted the challenge of hitchhiking.He took me home and his family, especially his mother and sisters, showed me Greek hospitality(好客) at its best.

My experience in Greece could not have differed more from the situation facing Pakistanis—and others seeking shelter —in Greece today.On recent visits to Greece in connection with my study on Islam in Europe, I saw the trouble of the refugees(难民). Some said that they had been physically beaten. However, there are good stories of ordinary Greeks giving shelter to some hopeless refugees. The sense of Greek hospitality that I experienced as a student does exist.

【1】What was the author's purpose of taking a trip to Greece in the 1960s?

A.To visit a friend in Greece.

B.To complete a challenge bravely.

C.To learn how to hitchhike to other countries.

D.To increase her knowledge about European society.

【2】What did the author find during her recent visits to Greece?

A.Many Greeks lived a very bad life.

B.The country hadn’t changed much.

C.Some refugees were badly treated.

D.Many people were leaving the country.

【3】What does the author want to show by giving the example in the last paragraph?

A.Many Greek people still love helping others.

B.Many people in Greece need help.

C.Greece is a safe country for refugees.

D.Helping others is very important.

29、   We've known for years that plants can see,hear,smell and communicate with chemicals.Now, reported New Scientist,they have been recorded making sounds when stressed.

In a yet-to-be-published study, Itzhak Khait and his team at Tel Aviv University, in Israel, found that tomato and tobacco plants can make ultrasonic(超声的)noises. The plants "cry out" due to lack of water,or when they are cut. It's just too high-pitched(音调高的）for humans to hear.

Microphones placed 10 centimeters away from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic range of 20 to 100 kilohertz(干赫兹)。Human hearing usually ranges from 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz."These findings can change the way we think about the plant kingdom,”they wrote.

On average,"thirsty"tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour,while tobacco plants made 11. When they were cut,tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour,and tobacco plants 15.Unstressed plants produced less than one sound per hour,on average.

Perhaps most interestingly,different types of stress led to different sounds.The researchers trained a machine-learning model to separate the plants' sounds from those of the wind,rain and other noises of the greenhouse.In most cases,it correctly recognized whether the stress was caused by dryness or a cut.Water-hungry tobacco appears to make louder sounds than cut tobacco,for example.Although Khait and his colleagues only looked at tomato and tobacco plants,they think other plants also make sounds when stressed.

If farmers could hear these sounds,said the team,they could give water to the plants that need  it most.As climate change causes more droughts,they said this would be important information for farmers. "The sounds that drought-stressed plants make could be used in precision(精准) agriculture, "said Anne Visscher at the Royal Botanic Gardens,Kew,in the UK.

Khait's report also suggests that insects can hear the sounds up to 5 meters away and respond. For example,a moth(蛾子）may decide not to lay eggs on a water-stressed plant.Edward Farmer. at the University of Lausanne,Switzerland,is doubtful.He said that the idea of moths listening to plants is"a little too speculative”。

If plants are screaming(尖叫）for fear of their survival,maybe we should be glad we can't hear them.

【1】Paragraph 3 mainly explains_______.

A.where humans differ from plants

B.how the research was carried out

C.what the findings of the study are

D.why humans can't hear the cries of plants

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the study?

A.All plants make sounds when they feel hungry.

B.Stressed plants make more sounds than unstressed ones.

C.Tobacco plants are more afraid of thirsty than being cut.

D.The more stressed a plant is,the louder sounds it makes.

【3】What does the underlined word"speculative"in Paragraph 7 probably mean?

A.Surprising.

B.Uncertain.

C.Incorrect.

D.Unique.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.Deaf humans

B.Stressed plants

C.Silent screams

D.Precision agriculture

30、   Grandma called me in from the yard, “Would you please go to the store for me? I’m ready to make cakes, and there isn’t enough yeast (酵母). Take a quarter from my little change ______.” I found Grandma’s wallet and put the quarter in my pocket.

I was soon in the little general store that ______ our farming community. “Mr Jenkins,” I said, “Grandma needs some yeast.” Mr Jenkins set three cakes of yeast on the counter. His eyes shone, and he ______ at me. “And what else do you need?” I knew what he meant. I was always allowed to pick a penny candy when I came to the store with Grandma. “How much ______ do I have from a quarter?” I asked. “Seven cents.” Mr. Jenkins replied. I thought ______ that quickly. I would have a nickel and two pennies back. I was sure Grandma wouldn’t ______ if I spent one penny, and if she were here, she might even say I could have them both. The ______ I looked at the candy display, the more certain I became that I needed two pennies’ worth as a reward for coming to the store alone. And I did so.

But I had ______ two pennies without Grandma’s permission(允许). The second piece of candy in my pocket didn’t sound like a good idea any more. I knew I had lied to Grandma, and I was ______ about it. Grandma loved me so much that I couldn’t bear to keep anything from her.

____ Grandma took the hot cakes from the oven, I told her about the candy. She ______ when I finished my story. “I know just ______ you feel,” she said.

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Hundreds of years ago, Charles Darwin predicted that facial expressions of emotion are 【1】. If you’ve ever seen an episode of the popular US TV drama Lie To Me, you will really understand facial expressions. The leading actor of the show, Dr. Cal Lightman has spent 20 years studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions, which allows him to point out other people’s studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions which allows him to point out other people’s 【2】 and on many occasions, to be skilled at tricking in order to get the truth.

Is there really much truth behind this science of 【3】 human emotions through expressions? Paul Ekman, a(n) 【4】 psychologist whose work focuses on mapping facial expressions, is Lie To Me’s scientific advisor and the following are some of his explanations.

Hand-to-face gesture indicates a lie.

Each micro-expression is unique to 【5】 specific emotions because the person is often unaware of doing it. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are lying when someone uses a hand to hide part of his face. The person could be holding back information but you may better consider looking at other more important clues rather than just the simple hand-to-face gesture.

A liar refuses eye contact.

People look away when they are thinking carefully and considering each word before it is spoken, not just when they are 【6】 an excuse. Oblique eyebrows are a very reliable 【7】of sadness and few people can make this 【8】 expression, so it is actually never faked.

Guilty knowledge technique is 【9】.

Lightman often uses the guilty knowledge technique, mentioning something that only the guilty person will know about and show a(n)【10】. This is often used in polygraph exams: “Was the person strangled, shot or stabbed to death?” Only the killer knows and is likely to respond physiologically when the actual weapon is mentioned.
