26、   In Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses and so on, in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections so that they won’t have diseases. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people’s houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in the garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.

People in Canada have many reasons to like pets. One of them might be: their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely. And pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.

A.the pets are sick B.the pets are not friendly

C.they want them to be different D.they want to stop them from having diseases

【3】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.Pets in Canada. B.Life of the old in Canada.

C.How to take good care of pets. D.How to keep diseases away from pets.

27、Studying the DNA of 300 mice has flagged up genes which have been linked to hereditary (遗传的) sight loss for the first time. Researchers say because mice’s genes are so similar to humans’, their findings could lead to the treatment of more genetic diseases.

Scientists at the University of California, Davis studied information from a data bank of mice’s genetic material. They found 347 genes linked to eye problems, with just 86 of them having been studied in the past.

Only around 50 to 75 percent of hereditary eye diseases in human can be explained with present science. The researchers believe these hundreds of new genes found in mice could be a key to explaining-and therefore being able to treat the other 25-50 percent.

“This is extremely valuable for people with hereditary eye disease,” said researcher Professor Ala Moshiri. “All researchers are going to start using these data. In the past, we knew the problem was there but we didn’t know where to look. Now eye centers can call back patients and screen them for these new genes. We expected that more and more of these genetic diseases will be treatable.” Also, the fact is that more than 60 percent of eye problems at birth are ones resulting from the baby’s parents!

Thanks to data from the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC), which is trying to work out what every single gene in a mouse is responsible for, with the aim of translating it to humans, scientists are moving closer to figuring out all genetic causes of blindness. To do this, scientists separate a single gene from other ones at a time and then observe what effect it has on the mouse for a long time. This has so far been done more than 7,000 times and has achieved great success. Researchers are now working alongside eye care centers in Texas and Iowa in order to compare the mice’s genes to those of patients.

【1】How many hereditary-sight-loss-related genes were newly found?

A．86.

B．261.

C．300.

D．347.

【2】Why is the percentage of genetic eye problems mentioned in paragraph 3?

A．To show the significance of studying mice’s genes.

B．To prove mice’s genes are similar to humans’.

C．To warn the high risk level of suffering them.

D．To explain how common they are among people.

【3】What should scientists do first to unlock secrets of genetic blindness?

A．Compare humans’ genes with mice’s.

B．Recognize each gene’s role of humans.

C．Set apart a gene of a mouse each time.

D．Figure out each gene’s function of a mouse.

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

A．New Ways to Cure Sight Loss

B．Genes Found Behind Eye Problems

C．Genetic Diseases Discovered in Mice

D．Humans Genes Causing Eye Diseases

28、   Humans were designed to stand upright. And yet in this modern world, too many of us spend our days with our heads lowered for a simple reason: we’re staring at the tiny screen of a smart phone.

People spend an average of 2 to 4 hours each day with their neck bent while shooting off emails or texts. That’s 700 to 1,400 hours a year. The success of social media has led to a rapid development of bad smart phone posture（姿势）.

The average adult head weighs 10 to 12 pounds when it’s in the upright position. However, because of the gravity, bending your head at a 15 degree puts 27 pounds of pressure on your spine(脊椎)；a 30 degree neck bend could equal 40 pounds of pressure; a 45 degree bend adds the force of 49 pounds, according to the research from Dr. Kenneth Hansraj from New York. These stresses may lead to many problems.

It’s no secret that correct posture is better for your back. According to the researchers, good posture is described as ears aligned(成一条直线) with the shoulders. In proper alignment, spinal stress disappeared. It is the best position for the spine. Standing tall doesn’t just make you look better; it improves your health, too. Other studies have found good posture has even been connected to ways of behaving. People who have poorer posture often have poorer physical and emotional health.

The researchers describe bad posture as “the head in a forward position and the shoulders dropping forward in a rounded position”. Bad posture has been connected to many medical problems, including headaches and other problems, depression and heart disease. This is why Hansraj said it’s important to be mindful of your smart phone posture. Though it is nearly impossible to avoid the technologies that cause these problems, people should make an effort to look at their phones with a correct posture.

【1】Through the underlined sentence in paragraph 2, the author wants to show that _______.

A. the social media have its bad side

B. the social media have made a great success

C. people have to use social media unavoidably

D. more and more people are using smart phones

【2】What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?

A. It’s healthy to bend your back regularly.

B. Your back is getting exercise as you bend it.

C. The average weight of an adult head always changes.

D. The more you bend your neck, the more stresses your spine gets.

【3】Where does the text most probably come from?

A. A text book.

B. An advertisement.

C. A health report.

D. A book review
