26、The typical American road trip is still possible. Maine’s Route 1 provides us with classic small towns, friendly local restaurants and breathtaking views but you need to detour (迂回) here and there. To see the best of this road trip, you can follow these destinations.

Kittery Charm

Kittery Charm is Maine’s oldest town, with a history going back to 1623. Old-fashioned houses and a small but unique downtown make this a must stop on your trip. The town is away from the highway. Go window-shopping, get a bite in one of the fine restaurants, such as local favorite Lil’s café, and then head out to Fort McClary, a protected spot for more than 275 years.

Pemaquid Peninsula Walk

Spend a full day exploring a peninsula (半岛) favored by artists such as Edward Hopper. After a typical fantastic breakfast in Damariscotta, just off Route 1, head south to New Harbor and sign up for a half-day trip with Maine Kayak. You’ll explore Muscongus Bay and its wonderful views of land and sea. Then take a look at Pemaquid Point Lighthouse built in 1827, the Keeper’s House, Fisherman’s Museum, which offer a taste of local life.

The Bold Coast

The small town of Cutler offers a number of exciting possibilities, starting with a hike on a lovely land of the Bold Coast Path through coastal forests then the blueberry (蓝莓) fields where you can enjoy the freshest wild blueberries. For a real Maine experience, spend the night in the Little River Lighthouse built in 1888 and taste the freshest seafood nearby.

East Down Farthest

Located on the most eastern point of the United States, West Quoddy Head Lighthouse, dating from 1858, catches the first rays (光线) of morning sun. You’ll have some local seafood at Becky’s Seafood and spend the night at the Peacock House, a former ship captain’s home facing the Bay of Fundy.

27、   In recent years, experiments examining exercise and weight loss have found that people lose far much less weight than expected, considering how many additional calories(卡路里) they are burning with their workouts.

Scientists have guessed that exercisers are likely to become hungrier and eat more after working out. They also may sit longer when not doing exercise. Together or separately, these changes could make up for the extra energy used during exercise.

To prove that possibility, scientists came up with the idea of using infrared light(红外线) to track mice’s movements in their cages. Then software can use that information to analyse their daily physical activity.

So the researchers prepared special cages, putting inside some locked running wheels, and let mice roam(闲逛) and explore for four days in the cages. This provided the researchers with information about how many calories each mouse burned every day.

Then the wheels were unlocked and for nine days, the mice could run at will, and they could decide how much to eat and when to get off the wheels, walking around. The mice,which enjoyed running, jumped readily on the wheels and started to run. On and off the wheels, they could run for hours. They showed a following height in their daily energy expenditure(支出) since they had added exercise to their lives.

But they did not change their eating habits. Although they were burning more calories, they did not eat more. They did, however, change how they moved. They now usually jogged on their wheels for a few minutes, jumped off, rested or roamed in a while, and then climbed back on the wheels, ran, rested, briefly roamed, and it repeated. These changes in how they spent their time almost counteracted(抵消) the extra calorie costs from running, says Daniel Lark, who led the new study.

What caused the running mice to run less is still uncertain. 'But it does not seem to have been tiredness or lack of time; wheel running is not arduous for mice, and does not fill their waking hours.' Dr. Lark says.

Instead, he says, it is likely that the animals’ bodies and brains sensed the increasing energy expenditure when the mice began to run and sent out biological signals that somehow advised the animals to slow down, save energy and lose weight.

Mice will never be people, of course, so we cannot say whether the results of this would directly apply to us, Dr. Lark says. But the results do indicate that if we hope to lose more weight through, we should watch what we eat and try not to move less while we work out more.

【1】What did NOT change for the mice in the experiment?

A.How they moved. B.How long they ran.

C.How much they chose to eat. D.How they spent their time.

【2】What happened to the mice in the experiment according to the 6th paragraph?

A.They didn't like to run the wheels. B.They ate more after running the wheels.

C.They spent less time roaming in the cage. D.They didn't need rest after running the wheels.

【3】The underlined word 'arduous' in paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _______.

A.tiring B.energetic C.difficult D.different

【4】Which of the following statements may Dr. Lark agree with?

A.Wheel running costs the same amount of energy as roaming does.

B.The mice ran more because they really wanted to lose weight.

C.The experiment is a failure because the results don't apply to humans.

D.It might not be tiredness that caused the mice to run less.

【5】The purpose of writing this passage is _______.

A.to prove that scientists' guess about exercising is wrong

B.to introduce a recent research on exercise and weight loss

C.to analyze how wheel running changes mice's movements

D.to explain why eating and running are bad for exercisers

28、   Is there a “success personality”—some winning combination of qualities that leads almost essentially to achievement? If so, exactly what is that secret success formula (公式), and can anyone develop it?

At the Gallop Organization we recently focused in depth on success, digging into the attitudes of 1500 brilliant people selected at random (随机) from Who’s Who in America. Our research finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the most important, that is, common sense.

Common sense is the most popular quality shared by the top achievers. Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in this quality. And 61 percent say that common sense was very important in contributing to their success.

To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical judgments on everyday affairs. To do this, one has to sweep aside extra ideas and get right to the heart of what matters. A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way: “The key ability for success is simplifying. In conduction of meeting and dealing with industry, reducing a complex problem to the simplest term is highly important.”

Is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it? The oil man’s answer is that common sense can definitely be developed. He attributes (归咎) his to learning how to debate in school. Another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from their and your own mistakes.

Besides common sense, there are many other factors that influence success: knowing your field, self-reliance, intelligence, the ability to get things done, leadership, creativity, relationships with others, and of course, luck. But common sense stands out. If you develop these qualities, you’ll succeed. And you might even find yourself listed in Who’s Who someday.

【1】Roughly how many people in the survey listed common sense as the most important quality?

A.80. B.60. C.1200. D.900.

【2】In paragraph 4, the example of the oil and gas businessman is used to prove_______.

A.common sense can be judged B.common sense means simplifying

C.common sense can be developed D.common sense is quite complex

【3】What do we know about common sense?

A.It’s rooted in common people. B.It is a side effect of mistakes.

C.It is taught by our parents. D.It can be trained by ourselves.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A.Common Sense B.The Success Personality

C.Personal Qualities D.A Popular Formula

29、My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.

Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it. I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles (肌肉) shaking my set.

When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.

【1】Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?

A．He got an older model than he had expected.

B．He couldn’t return it when it was broken.

C．He could have bought it at a lower price.

D．He failed to find any movie shows on it.

【2】Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?

A．ended all their programs

B．provided fewer channels

C．changed to commercials

D．showed all-night movies

【3】How did the author finally get his TV set working again?

A．By shaking and hitting it.

B．By turning it on and off.

C．By switching channels.

D．By having it repaired.

【4】How does the author sound when telling the story?

A．Curious

B．Anxious

C．Cautious

D．Humorous

30、   In the middle of town lived an old man.One day he_______ his watch in his own store.It was important to him because it was from his wife.After searching high and low in the _______ for a long while, he _______ to ask for help from a group of children playing outside the store.He  promised them that the person who found it would be rewarded(奖赏)._______ this, the children hurried inside the store, went through and around the _______ store, but still could not find the watch.

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

Scientists have proved what students have long suspected: Maths equations can actually trigger physical pain.

Regions of the brain linked with the experience of physical 【1】 were activated in those fearful of maths when they were presented with a tough equation, researchers have found. The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 【2】 activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.

However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 【3】 event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 【4】 the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.

“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their paper titled. When Math Hurts. “【5】, this relation was not seen during math performance, 【6】 that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 【7】 math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 【8】 paths. We provide the first neural 【9】 indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.

Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 【10】 or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.”
