26、Since the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us have decided to get our hands dirty and get into gardening, but did indoor plants purify (净化) air?

In an often-cited 1989 NASA report, a scientist Bill Wolverton claimed that household plants could provide a “promising economical solution to indoor air pollution.” However, more recent researches have poured cold water on the idea.

Scientists studying the effectiveness of indoor plants for the passive removal of air pollution, found houseplants make “at best, modest contributions of about 0.9-9% to indoor pollution removal effectiveness,” they reported in 2017 in the Journal of Building and Environment. The tests, performed in a laboratory to simulate the effects on a typical U. S. home, found houseplants hardly affected the environment. To make a meaningful difference to the air quality of your home, you’d need to fill a room from top to bottom with plants, they suggest, While a single spider plant won’t purify the air, a green wall covered in plants just might, found scientists in a study published in 2020 in the Journal of Environmental Management.

While the benefits of plants purifying the air are less certain, a recent study from Princeton University finds that gardening is beneficial for physical and mental health. Another study found that indoor gardening lowered stress responses compared to the demands of completing a computer task.

Although plants can make your home a more pleasant environment and taking care of them can have mental health benefits, it’s unlikely they’ll do much to purify the air-unless you’ re going to buy hundreds. So if you’ re concerned about air quality in your home, we’ll advise you to invest in an air purifier.

【1】What can we infer about the 1989 NASA report?

A．It agreed with the latest research.

B．It suggested plants purified indoor air.

C．It had a great impact on the economy.

D．It provided much evidence for experiments.

【2】What is the main idea of paragraph4?

A．The recent studies on air quality.

B．Comparison between gardening tasks.

C．Professors’ views on indoor pollution.

D．The healthy benefits of gardening.

【3】How should we remove indoor air pollution according to the text?

A．By using an air purifier.

B．By growing particular plants.

C．By improving gardening skills.

D．By decorating walls with plants.

【4】In which section of a newspaper can we find the text?

A．Sports and Amusement

B．Life and Fashion

C．Daily Science and Technology

D．Commercial and Advertisement

27、   Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico, U.S.A., is in the central part of the state, on the Santa Fe River, which flows into the Rio Grande 35 kilometres west of the city. More than two thousand metres above sea level, it lies in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains with the Ortiz Mountains to the southeast.

The opera house in Santa Fe, is one of the most beautiful in the United States. It is small and open, with one roof over the stage where singers perform and another roof over part of the audience. This opera house in the mountains is one of the best in the country. It may seem surprising because performances are only given during seven weeks in the summer, and because Santa Fe is a very small city.

One reason why the Santa Fe Opera is so good is that it attracts many excellent young singers. They all hope to sing in famous opera houses like Metropolitan in New York someday, and they work hard to become well-known during the summer. The musicians and directors are experts who come from the best orchestras and operas in the country. They enjoy working there during their vacations because they like Santa Fe, which is near both the mountains and the desert. It is very beautiful there in summer.

The state government of New Mexico advertises the Santa Fe Opera in newspapers all over the country, and a great many tourists come to New Mexico because of the opera. All the seats in the theater are sold out for every show.

There is only one thing that some people do not like about the Santa Fe Opera, and that is the cold weather. Because the theater is open, performances can't start before it gets dark at nine o'clock in the evening, and then the mountain air becomes very cool. Sometimes people complain about the cold air, but because the operas are good, these people come back again —wearing warm coats.

【1】What is this passage mainly about?

A．An opera house.

B．Young singers.

C．A mountain city.

D．The tourism in Santa Fe.

【2】Which of the drawings below gives an idea of where Santa Fe lies?

RG-the Rio Grande SFR=the Santa Fe River OM=the Ortiz Mountains

A．

B．

C．

D．

【3】It seems surprising that Santa Fe opera house becomes famous because ________.

A．all the seats are sold out for every show

B．Santa Fe is between the mountains and desert

C．it is only in a very small place

D．musicians there are from the best orchestras

【4】From the passage, we can learn that ________.

A．performances are held in Santa Fe only after sunset

B．musicians always spend vacations for fun in Santa Fe

C．the government advertises to attract more musicians

D．the opera house is open without any roofs

28、Since you enter this world, most of your firsts happen with your family. Naturally, this leads to the establishment of a tradition. Family and its traditions greatly influence a child. Most families pass on family values as a tradition, so that parents help their children become better individuals through them.

For parents, the teenage years of their child are a test. The values you have taught your kids are put to use. The values you put in your child in the early years help your child from walking the wrong path even when times get tough.

Many families hold the tradition of having dinner together. The flavor of love and togetherness makes you forget about your bad day. Merely a simple meal with your loved ones can lighten your shoulders like no other thing. Small traditions like sharing a meal or cooking on Sundays help you stay connected to your family.

Having traditions makes you feel special in your own space. When you have things in common, you’ll enjoy the company a little more, and no other company is better than family. Lastly, traditions may not necessarily be celebrated each year; they can be enjoyed in their own sweet way on the dining table, kitchen, or even at the door.

Daffnee Cohen told Healthy Cells Magazine in an article, “Tradition is one of the most beautiful beliefs we have created and experienced as living and loving humans.”

In the current fast-paced life, family traditions bring in moments you wish to keep for a lifetime. They shape you, comfort you, give you a sense of belonging, create unforgettable memories, and make you better and stronger individuals. So, instead of doubting their presence, treasure each moment.

【1】What do most of your first family experiences lead to?

A．Your family tradition.

B．Your relation with others.

C．Your influence on others.

D．Your education background.

【2】What’s the benefit of a family dinner for kids?

A．Having a chance to hear parents’ advice.

B．Communicating about the outside world.

C．Getting them prepared for good values.

D．Helping them forget the worries of the day.

【3】How does Daffnee view family tradition?

A．It marks the progress of humans.

B．It’s decided by the family beliefs.

C．It’s what we experience as humans.

D．It’s handed down the family history.

【4】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

A．Entertainment.

B．Culture.

C．Education.

D．Health.

29、It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter.

Road politeness is not only good manners, but a good sense. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough. Many drivers nowadaysdon’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.

However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. A typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.

An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in a traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship (公路驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

【1】The most suitable title for this passage would be __________.

A. Traffic Jams     B. Good Manners

C. Road Politeness   D. Modern Drivers

【2】Troubles on the road are often caused by __________.

A. traffic jams

B. the behavior of the drivers

C. the great speed of modern life

D. terrible road conditions

【3】According to the writer, a good driver should __________.

A. encourage children to cross the road whenever they want to

B. beat back when forced to face rude driving

C. be able to recognize politeness when he sees it

D. join in a traffic stream quickly however other people feel

【4】It is not always right for drivers to __________.

A. master the roadmanship

B. neglect politeness when they see it

C. give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politeness

D. encourage old ladies to cross the road whenever and wherever they want to

30、Many people think the more time is spent, the more work will be done. So students have to spend the whole________doing school work except the three meals.

32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

My single mother used to take on several jobs just in order to make ends meet. When I was fifteen years old, she started her own business, and things began to get easier financially. There was no longer a question as to whether she would be able to afford groceries for the week.

The following spring, when I was sixteen years old, a new family moved into our neighborhood. The wife, Melissa, quickly made friends with my mother, and the children though younger than me, became my pals soon. They lived within walking distance from us, and once school let out for the summer, I would walk over to their house to watch Disney movies while my mother was at work.

One afternoon, I was at their house during lunchtime, and they were generous enough to include me in the meal. Their daughter, ten at the time, requested a glass of milk of with her food. Melissa stated, “We are out of milk, and we don't have any more money for groceries this week.” She suddenly realized that I was present and explained with a defeated look, “Money has been really tight.”

The family had recently moved to Central Pennsylvania from California because Melissa had been offered a good job. The position had not worked out, and her husband had to take the first job he could find. They had uprooted their children and moved across the country, leaving behind family and friends, only to end up in trouble. I thought about our own situation just a year earlier.

Later, I came home with a heavy heart as I think of their hardship. I told my mother about the rough time Melisa was experiencing. “Do you think we could help them?” I asked. In response, she immediately opened the cupboard doors and started pulling out food. We searched each cabinet(储藏柜), grabbing bag after bag, can after can---cereal, peanut butter, spaghetti sauce, and more. Then we handled the canning shelf where my mother's precious homemade goods were stored. We found a sizable(相当大的) box and packed it full.
