26、 In the UK, electric and other low-emission（低排放）cars, vans, and buses could be given special green plates to encourage more people to buy such cars, and promote awareness for “clean” cars.
Strange as it may seem, there is some reason to believe that something as small as this could make a big difference. Already, similar ideas have been put into effect in Norway, Canada, Latvia, and China, and the results have been encouraging.
Elisabeth Costa, director of the Behavioural Insights Team, explains, “Simple changes based on behavioral science can have a big impact. Green plates would be more noticeable to road users, and this increased attraction can help normalise the idea of clean vehicles, highlighting（使突出）the changing social norms（规范）around vehicle ownership.”
Actually, hybrids and electric cars accounted for 5.5% of the cars sold in the UK in the first half of the year, compared to 4.2% for the same period in 2017.
However, colored plates can only go so far. At the end of the day, you need strong, concrete（具体的）measures if you want to support a market like electric cars. The UK already has generous allowances for electric cars, but a study for the RAC Foundation found that the lack of reliable, easy-to-use charging stations is the main roadblock to people purchasing more electric cars. This was repeated by separate research from AA, the UK’s largest motorist association, which found that although 1 in 2 young drivers want electric cars, 8 out of 10 drivers feel that the lack of adequate electrical chargers is the main reason not to buy an electric car.
Yet this all shows that more and more people are nearing a tipping point where they are willing to buy electric cars. And a small PR stunt（噱头）, the “coolness factor” of the colored plates could end up making a difference. Similarly, having red plates for the more polluting cars might also play a role.
A spokesman for the Environmental Transport Association said, “While green number plates will be positive PR for low-emission car makers and early adopters of the technology alike, to be truly effective any such measures will need to at the same time shame the drivers of the most polluting vehicles.”
【1】Why does the UK give green license plates to cars?
A.To promote car sales.
B.To beautify the environment in the UK.
C.To separate “clean” cars from polluting cars.
D.To inspire people to buy low-emission vehicles.
【2】What does the underlined sentence “colored plates can only go so far” mean?
A.The results of giving colored plates are discouraging.
B.The measures of giving colored plates will be at an end.
C.Giving colored plates has a limited impact on promoting “clean” cars.
D.Giving colored plates will be replaced by strong, concrete measures.
【3】Why do most drivers choose not to buy an electric car?
A.Allowances for electric cars are not attractive.
B.They aren’t fond of the green color.
C.Charging stations are not readily available.
D.Electric cars are unaffordable to them.
【4】What did the spokesman for the Environmental Transport Association focus on?
A.Banning people from buying polluting cars.
B.Continuing the use of green number plates.
C.Replacing green plates with red ones.
D.Shaming the drivers of polluting cars into buying “clean” cars.
27、A simple gesture can be formed into a child’s memory so quickly that it will cause the child to give a false answer to a question accompanied by that gesture. A new finding suggests that parents, social workers, psychologists and lawyers should be careful with their hands as well as their words.
While memories of both adults and children are easy to react to suggestion, those of children are known to be particularly influenced, said lead researcher Sara Broaders of Northwestern University. Kids are used to looking to adults to tell events for them and can be misled even if not intentionally.
Previous research, for example, has shown that detail-loaded questions often cause false answers; when asked, say “Did you drink juice at the picnic?” the child is likely to say “yes” even if no juice had been available. It is not that the child is consciously lying, but rather the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory.
To avoid this problem, social workers have long been advised to ask children only open- ended questions, such as “What did you have at the picnic?” But an open-ended question paired with a gesture, briefly meaning a juice box, is treated like a detailed question. That is，children become likely to answer falsely.
And it isn’t just a few kids: 77% of children gave at least one piece of false information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture. Gestures may also become more popular when talking with non-fluent language users, such as little kids, Broaders said as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases. “It certainly seems reasonable that adults would gesture more with children. ’’
In general, Broaders advises parents and other adults to “try to be aware of your hands when questioning a child about an event. Otherwise, you might be getting answers that don’t reflect what actually happened. ’’
【1】What can we know about gestures from the text?
A．They are rarely used by people.

【2】Why are kids easy to be misled by gestures according to Sara Broaders?
A．Children are easy to tell lies.
B．These gestures are very attractive.
C．Their memories are affected easily.
D．These gestures are used frequently.
【3】Which may cause a wrong reply according to the text?
A．Where are you going Lucy?
B．What will you have for lunch?
C．Did you see anything else last night?
D．Did you cheat in the last English examination?
【4】What does the underlined word “impart” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Pass on.
B．Tell apart.
C．Confuse.
D．Separate.
28、From the back seat of a rental car, 2-year-old Hagen repeatedly asked his parents the same question: “Where’s Buzz?” Ashley Davis realized she had left her son’s favorite Buzz Lightyear action figure on the plane. She calmly explained to her son that Buzz was on a “special mission” and would return to him shortly. In fact, she was planning to purchase a replacement toy at a nearby store. Little did Davis know that Buzz was, in fact, on a special mission and would soon be back.
Jason William Hamm, an operations agent at Southwest Airlines, discovered the toy in the plane. He noticed the name Hagen on the bottom of Buzz’s boot. “I was thinking about how this little boy is missing his little buddy, ” Hamm said. Once he tracked down Hagen’s boarding record, he sent an email to the family, asking for the address.
While waiting for a response, Hamm got creative. He took photos of Buzz in front of an airplane, an engine and even a cockpit (驾驶员座舱). And he didn’t stop there. Hamm wrote a letter to Hagen, complete with a Buzz Lightyear logo.
“To Commander Hagen,” the letter reads. “I am very excited to return to you upon completing my mission. I was able to explore the airport and spaceport in Little Rock, Arkansas while I was away, and I have included photos of my adventure. My journey has taught me a lot but I am so thankful to return to my buddy.” Once hearing back from the Davis family, Hamm printed out the photos he took, bubble-wrapped Buzz, and put in the handwritten letter. Then he decorated the outside of the cardboard box with a drawing of Buzz Lightyear, stars and planets.
Upon opening the package, Davis was speechless. “You could see all the love he put into it,” she said. Hagen was extremely surprised. His excitement was caught on camera, and the couple sent a video of his reaction to Hamm. “Seeing the boy’s smile made it all worth it,” Hamm said.

29、Astronauts on shorter shuttle missions (使命) often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled (安排) so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day’s work. This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station (ISS). ISS crewmembers usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with family and friends by email, internet phone and through private video conferences.
While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before a mission, the family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth. During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters. And as from early 2010, the internet became available on the ISS , giving astronauts the chance to do some “web surfing (冲浪)” in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.
Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and stare at the universe and the Earth’s vast land mass and oceans.
【1】What does the word “mimic” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．Find.
B．Copy.
C．Change.
D．Lose.
【2】Which of the following best describes the families of the astronauts on the ISS ?
A．They are caring and thoughtful.
B．They are patient and annoyed.
C．They are impatient and annoyed.
D．They are excited and curious.
【3】In the final paragraph, the author shows that astronauts .
A．get more pleasure in space than on the Earth
B．find living in space a bit boring and tiring
C．regard space life as common
D．love to see the Earth from space
【4】The passage mainly discusses how astronauts .
A．work for longer missions in space

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.
Here is a lesson that we’re going to be taught again and again in the coming years: Most animals are not just animals. They’re also 【1】 of microbes (微生物). If you really want to understand the animal, you also have to understand the world of microbes inside them. In other words, zoology is ecology.
Consider the western corn rootworm---- a beetle that’s a serious pest of corn in the US. The adults have strong preferences for laying eggs in corn fields, so that their underground larvae (幼虫) hatch into a 【2】 of corn roots. This life cycle depends on a continuous year-on-year supply of corn. Farmers can use this dependency against the rootworm, by planting soybean and corn in alternate years. These rotations (轮流) mean that rootworms lay eggs into corn fields but their larvae hatch among soybean, and die.
But the rootworms have 【3】 to this strategy by reducing their strong 【4】 for laying eggs in corn. These “rotation-resistant” females might lay among soybean fields, so their larvae hatch into a crop of corn.
There are almost certainly genetic differences that separate the rotation-resistant rootworms from their normal 【5】. Researchers at the University of Illinois began to study the genes of the bacteria in its gut (肠) and found some answers, after focusing on the rootworm’s own genes and found that the results were mostly inconclusive.
“The bad guy in the story----the western corn rootworm---was actually part of a multi-species plot,” says Joe Spencer, who was part of the study. “No wonder it was hard to figure out what was happening. We were only looking at the most obvious 【6】 of the story.”
If you really want to understand the animal, you also have to understand the microbes. The rootworm’s gut bacteria are effectively another one of its organs, but an 【7】 flexible on that can change dramatically when 【8】 to a new food source. This allows the insects to adapt very quickly to environmental challenges, far more quickly than if they could only rely on mutations (突变) in their own genes.
Spencer says, “Modern agriculture has always underestimated the ability of pests to avoid pest control, and I think the 【9】 that pest insects are not alone in their efforts should give us some 【10】. There is a brand new tiny world out there inside every creature, and we need to start thinking seriously about it.”
