26、As one of the most incredible living things on this planet, the Great Barrier Reef is struggling to stay alive. Tourism, pollution, and species that feed on coral have all contributed to the Great Barrier Reef's decline. However, the biggest thing threatening the reef is climate change, because the coral can only survive in water that's within a narrow temperature range.

When sea temperatures rise above that range, it causes the algae（海藻）that live within its tissues to break away, which leads to a process called coral bleaching（白化现象）. Coral bleaching is so disastrous to the life of the reef because the coral has a symbiotic relationship with the algae. The coral gets about 90 percent of its energy from the algae. Without it, the coral simply can't survive. Sadly, there have been several coral bleaching events in recent years. Scientists have been trying to come up with ways to save the reef before it's too late.

With the help of Peter Newman, director of the Marine Ecology Research Centre at Southern Cross University, Matthew Harrison, an engineering and robotics professor at the Queensland University of Technology in Australia managed to make a special quantity.

“The reduced number of corals means we've lost the ability for coral to provide enough larvae（幼体）to settle and restore these communities quickly. We need a more efficient larval delivery process onto the damaged reef areas, so the LavalBot concept developed from discussions with Matthew.” Newman told NBC News. “The idea is to use an automated technique that allows us to target delivery of the larvae into damaged reef systems so that new coral communities can be generated,” Newman said about their joint effort.

In November of 2018, the team put their plan into action. The project is particularly promising because the larvae are considered heat resistant. But the root cause of global warming still needs to be addressed to save not only the reef systems around the world but all other delicate ecosystems.

【1】What relationship between the coral and the algae can be inferred from paragraph 2?

A．They rely on each other.

B．The coral feeds on the algae.

C．They provide energy for each other.

D．The algae can't survive without the coral.

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A．LavalBot can help deliver the coral babies massively.

B．LavalBot is the only way to save the reef successfully.

C．New coral communities can be generated automatically.

D．Matthew Harrison managed to make LarvalBot independently.

【3】What is the author's attitude towards LavalBot?

A．Doubtful.

B．Objective.

C．Indifferent.

D．Positive.

27、As a student, you have a lot of freedom when it comes to how you spend your time. But with that freedom comes the responsibility to make the most of your studying hours. Here are some tips to help you do just that.

• Create a schedule

This means setting aside specific times for studying each day and then sticking to that schedule as closely as possible. Of course, there will be days when things come up, and you have to deviate from your plan. 【1】.

• Break up your study sessions into smaller periods

Our brain can’t focus effectively for a longtime. If you try to study for several hours once, chances are much higher that you won’t remember all of the information you’re trying to learn. 【2】.

• Find a study place that works for you

【3】 Some people prefer to study in complete silence, while others find that some background noise helps them focus better. There is no right or wrong answer here — it’s all about finding a place to study that allows you to work as efficiently as possible.

• 【4】

This will not only help you check your understanding of the concepts but also identify any area that may need more review. And once you know what specific topics or ideas you need to work on, it will be much easier for you to direct your study sessions accordingly and make better use of your time overall.

• Don’t be afraid to ask for help

If you find that you’re struggling to understand the material or just not making progress as quickly as you’d like, seek assistance in time. 【5】. In fact, it can save lots of time in the long run by getting you the support you need.

A．Take relevant tests

B．Learn to accept failure

C．There is no shame in admitting that you need assistance

D．Make sure that every minute you spend studying counts

E．However, try not to go off-track too often or for too long

F．Where you study can also affect how effectively you use your time

G．Instead, divide your study sessions up into shorter periods to help you relax and recharge

28、Economically speaking, are we better off than we were ten years ago? Twenty years ago?

In their thirst for evidence on this issue, commentators seized on the recent report by the Census Bureau, which found that average household income rose by 5.2% in 2015. Unfortunately, that conclusion puts too much weight on a useful, but flawed and incomplete, statistic. Among the more significant problems with the Census’s measure are that: 1) it excludes taxes, transfers, and compensation like employer-provided health insurance; and 2) it is based on surveys rather than data. Even if precisely measured, income data exclude important determinants of economic well-being, such as the hours of work needed to earn that income.

While thinking about the question, we came across a recently published article by Charles Jones and Peter Klenow, which proposes an interesting new measure of economic welfare. While by no means perfect, it is considerably more comprehensive than average income, taking into account not only growth in consumption per person but also changes in working time, life expectancy, and inequality. Moreover, it can be used to assess economic performance both across countries and over time.

The Jones-Klenow method can be illustrated by a cross-country example. Suppose we want to compare the economic welfare of citizens of the U.S. and France in 2005.

In 2005, as the authors observe: real consumption per person in France was only 60% as high as the U.S., making it appear that Americans were economically much better off than the French on average. However, that comparison omits other relevant factors: leisure time, life expectancy, and economic inequality. The French take longer vacations and retire earlier, so typically work fewer hours; they enjoy a higher life expectancy, presumably reflecting advantages with respect to health care, diet, lifestyle, and the like; and income and consumption are somewhat more equally distributed there than in the U.S. Because of these differences, comparing France’s consumption with the U.S.’s overstates the gap in economic welfare.

Similar calculations can be used to compare the U.S. and other countries. For example, this calculation puts economic welfare in the United Kingdom at 97% of U.S. levels, but estimates Mexican well-being at 22%.

The Jones-Klenow measure can also assess an economy’s performance over time. According to this measure, as of the early-to-mid-2000s, the U.S. had the highest economic welfare of any large country. Since 2007, economic welfare in the U.S. has continued to improve. However, the pace of improvement has slowed markedly.

Methodologically, the lesson from the Jones-Klenow research is that economic welfare is multi-dimensional. Their approach is flexible enough that in principle other important quality-of-life changes could be incorporated-for example, decreases in total emissions of pollutants and declines in crime rates.

【1】What does the author think of the 2015 report by the Census Bureau?

A．It is based on questionable statistics.

B．It reflects the economic changes.

C．It evidences the improved-welfare.

D．It provides much food for thought.

【2】What does the author say about the Jones-Klenow method?

A．It is widely used to compare the economic growth across countries.

B．It revolutionizes the way of measuring ordinary people’s livelihood.

C．It focuses on people’s consumption rather than their average income.

D．It is a more comprehensive measure of people’s economic well-being.

【3】What do Jones and Klenow think of the comparison between France and the U. S. in terms of real consumption per person?

A．It reflected the existing big gap between the two economies.

B．It neglected many important indicators of people’s welfare.

C．It covered up the differences between individual citizens.

D．It failed to count in their difference in natural resources.

【4】What is an advantage of the Jones-Klenow method?

A．It can accurately pinpoint a country’s current economic problems.

B．It can help to raise people’s awareness of their economic well-being.

C．It can diagnose the causes of a country’s slowing pace of economic improvement.

D．It can compare a country’s economic conditions between different periods of time.

29、Have you ever heard of agritourism where you can experience the farm life? If not, Dr. Cindy Ayers Elliott will tell you the real story of Foot Print Farms.

The original concept of building Foot Print Farms was simple. When Ayers Elliott returned to her hometown after graduation, she didn’t have to look any further than her state’s alarming health statistics to find a mission. Everywhere she turned, there were reports of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and heart disease. “The problem was already identified,” explains Ayers Elliott. “Too many Mississippians were seriously unhealthy and it didn’t do research to see that. And many of the state’s greatest health challenges could directly result from poor diet.”

These days, Foot Print Farms, which started with a few raised beds of herbs and vegetables, is making fresh , naturally grown food. “Speaking of the key to my success, the co-op(合作商店) model works because we share the work and rewards,” notes Ayers Elliott. “A perfect example is the Wingfield High School football team. To earn the money for equipment and other items, players committed to working five hours a week on the farm, and by the end of the summer they produced 1,000 melons and the profits from their sales helped to buy weights, T-shirts, sweatsuits and pregame meals. But the lessons they learned about the rewards of hard work and working together to accomplish something were even more valuable products of their efforts.”

“It’s a model that can easily be learned in other places and I’m looking forward to seeing some of our current partners do just that — to take what they have learned here and spin it off in other communities,” Ayers Elliott remarks. She is now looking forward to developing an agritourism area, where visitors can experience the farm life, learn new skills and take with them seeds of inspiration they can sow in their own communities when they return home.

【1】What made Ayers Elliott set up Foot Print Farms?

A．The problems faced by local farmers.

B．Her further research into heart disease.

C．The failure of her career after graduation.

D．The health state of people in her hometown.

【2】Why does the author take the football team as an example?

A．To advocate the concept of independence.

B．To stress the importance of teamwork.

C．To support the idea of the co-op model.

D．To explore the key to success.

【3】What is Ayers Elliot’s attitude towards the future of Foot Print Farms?

A．Optimistic.

B．Skeptical.

C．Cautious.

D．Ambiguous.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A．Naturally grown food benefits people’s health.

B．Food Print Farms is making a difference in Mississippi.

C．Ayers Elliott encourages people to keep a healthy diet.

D．Agritourism is becoming increasingly popular in America.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写成两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

There was once a man who went out to look for a job. As he was passing his neighbor’s house, an important piece of paper fell out of the man’s pocket.

His neighbor happened to be looking out of the window. He saw the piece of paper fall, and he thought: “What a disgrace! That guy let that fall out of his pocket on purpose. He’s trying to mess up the front of my house!” But instead of going out and communicating with him, the neighbor planned his revenge( 报 复 ). That night, he took his waste-paper basket and went to the man’s house. The first man also happened to be looking out of the window, and saw what happened. Later, when he was picking up the paper which had been dumped near his door, he found the important piece of paper that he had lost. It was torn into dozens of pieces. He thought that his neighbor had not only picked his pocket, but had the cheek to（厚着脸皮）mess up his doorway with rubbish.

He didn’t want to say anything. Instead, he started planning his revenge. That night he phoned a farmer to make an order of ten pigs and a hundred ducks. He asked that they be delivered to his neighbor’s house.

Of course, the next day, his neighbor had quite a bit of trouble trying to get rid of so many animals and their noises. Sure that this had been an evil trick pulled by his neighbor, the second man again started planning his revenge immediately he got rid of the pigs and ducks.

And so it went on.

They continued trying to get back at each other, and each time their acts of revenge got bigger and more stupid. The dropping of that single piece of paper ended up causing a fire siren(警报), the driving of a truck into a garden fence, the throwing of stones at windows, and finally the dropping of a bomb which destroyed both men’s houses.
