26、   A lot of people say math is not their strong suit. One New Jersey parent wants to help change that. Laura Overdeck grew up with numbers. She always helped measure ingredients（食材）when her mother baked，and she learned about angles from her father. She went on to major in astrophysics（天体物理学）in college. Overdeck wanted her own children to be good at math，too.“And when our first child was about two，we just started giving her a math problem every night，”Overdeck said. The problem was usually a story，involving animals，cars or candies that let the kid count.“Our third child started，at age two，yelling that he wanted his own math problem because he saw his brother and sister doing it. And we thought，‘Wow，we have a household where math is the popular thing at bedtime，’”Overdeck said.

In February，Overdeck set up Bedtime Math，an Internet website where she posts daily puzzles for children. Overdeck is particularly keen to hook（吸引）children on numbers before they go to school. So why introduce little ones to math so early？

Sian Beilock，an expert on performance anxiety，says the more fun and familiar math is early on，the less likely children will feel nervous when they start to learn math in school.“My lab has shown recently that kids as early as first grade report feeling anxious about doing math，”Beilock said.

“You can hear totally educated adults say，‘You know I’m just not that good at math.’or‘I’m kind of afraid of math.’And that’s a totally acceptable thing for a well-educated person to say，but you never hear them say，‘Well，you know，I’m just not that good at reading.’，”Overdeck said. She wants children and their parents to become as fluent in numbers as they are in Harry Potter.

【1】Overdeck majored in astrophysics because she.

A.was really fond of mathematics

B.hoped to change math education in the US

C.had an interest in physics

D.would like her children to be good at math

【2】What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?

A.Stories can be used to encourage kids in solving math problems.

B.Math will become more popular in every household.

C.Math is enjoyable in Overdeck’s family.

D.The third child is cleverer than his brother and sister.

【3】Beilock’s attitude towards Overdeck’s idea is.

A.agreeable B.puzzled

C.anxious D.critical

【4】The unfavorable situation of the US in math ability is shown by.

A.the popularity of Bedtime Math

B.children’s performance anxiety in school

C.people’s reaction to math

D.adults’ great fondness for Harry Potter

27、   Your body, which had close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own, so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment (营养). The old saying “ An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is not as silly as some people think.

The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C. Many people take extra vitamin in pill form (丸剂），believing that these will make them healthy. But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesn’t need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on them?

In the modern western world, many people are too busy to eat properly. They throw anything into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly. The list of illnesses caused or made worse by bad eating habits is frightening.

【1】“ Your body has close relations with the food you eat” really means that __________ .

A.all kinds of food you eat can be made into your body

B.your body is made up of the food you eat

C.the more you eat, the fitter you will feel

D.what you eat has a great effect on your health

【2】The old saying referred to in the passage tells us that _________ .

A.the apple is the best among all kinds of fruits

B.apples can take the place of doctors

C.an apple is a sure cure for illness

D.eating apples regularly does lots of good to our health

【3】In the second paragraph, the writer tires to let us know ________ .

A.our bodies need food, or we can’t live

B.a good diet is of great importance for our health

C.often eating apples is a good habit

D.taking extra vitamin pills is completely useless

【4】From the passage we can draw a conclusion that if we want to keep healthy, we should_________ .

A.eat properly

B.take as many vitamin pills as possible

C.throw something into our stomachs slowly and carefully

D.only eat an apple a day

28、   Earth Day is coming in a week. Are you wondering what to do for Earth Day this year? Here are some suggestions.

Ask your parents to leave their cars at home. Cars, being the greatest source(来源)of air pollution, can be left at home this weekend. 【1】 Other greener options are carpooling, riding a bike or walking if you want a healthier option.

Be a little dirty. No, we don’t mean it that “way”. 【2】 Yes, saving water is extremely important. A day or two without a bath won't harm you, but it will certainly do a lot of good for our planet. A daily shower isn’t a matter of health; it’s a matter of comfort. Showering every day can wash away the natural oils that our skin and hair need.

Volunteer yourself. 【3】 If you have the time, there are lots of opportunities out there to make contributions, for example, planting trees, cleaning a park or simply coming up with ways you can preserve(保护)mother Earth.

【4】 This is one of the most common things that people do whenever Earth Day rolls around, that is, switch off their lights. However, this is not something you should do just for a day and for only an hour. 【5】

The future of our planet is in your hands!

A.Every step counts.

B.Green-up your home.

C.This is one of the best things you can do.

D.We simply mean to say, don't take a bath.

E.Join other like-minded people in a common task.

F.Travelling by public transport is the better option.

G.Save energy by switching off all electricity points whenever they aren’t in use.

29、Global warming does more than just kill plant species-it also changes the way plants grow. Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) joined forces with the Leibniz Institute for Plant Biochemistry (IPB) to discover the molecular processes of plant growth. In Current Biology, a scientific journal, they presented their findings on high-temperature plant growth. This could lead to developing plants that can survive global warming.

Plants react to even small temperature changes, but they are unable to move to new locations. “When temperatures rise, plants grow taller... to cool themselves off. Their stalks become taller, and their leaves become narrower and grow farther apart. Yet, this makes the plant more unstable overall,” explains Professor Marcel Quint, an agricultural scientist at MLU. Unstable plants bend faster in the rain and produce less food that’s also less nutritious.

There’s still lots to learn about plant reactions to temperatures. “We are just starting to understand how plants detect the changes in temperature...,” Quint says. Earlier studies have shown that the protein PIF4 directly controls plant growth and is also dependent on temperature. When it’s cold, PIF4 is less active, meaning the plant doesn’t grow. At higher temperatures, PIF4 activates growth-promoting genes, and the plant grows taller. This is new information, says Quint.

To understand it, they investigated the growth of thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana,) seedlings. Normally, its seedlings form short stems at 20℃. These stems become considerably longer at 28℃. They discovered a hormone that activates the PIF4 at high temperatures, thus producing the protein. The findings of the Halle group may help to breed plants that remain stable even at high temperatures and produce many crops.

【1】Why did the researchers at MLU and IPB conduct their research?

A．To study the negative effects of global warming.

B．To find out how plants help reduce global warming.

C．To observe how global warming affects plant growth.

D．To understand the ways that plants cause global warming.

【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A．Low temperatures have little impact on plants.

B．Plants prefer dry weather to rainy weather.

C．Plants are very sensitive to changes in soil.

D．High temperatures decrease crop production.

【3】What do we know about PIF4?

A．It mainly exists in the cress seedlings.

B．It works differently at different temperatures.

C．It is a kind of gene that controls plant growth.

D．It is a plant hormone that works at high temperatures.

【4】Who will probably benefit most from the findings?

A．Farmers.

B．Botanists.

C．Researchers.

D．Environmentalists.
