26、Ice cream is certainly the world's favorite dessert. 【1】 Of all the people across the world, more ice cream is eaten in Australia than in any other country: 16.6 liters per person per year.

A form of ice cream was eaten in China about 4,000 years ago. 【2】 Sounds strange today.

Ice cream was brought to Europe in the 16th century, but at that time only the super-rich could afford it. When the Italian princess Catherine de Medici married the future King Henry Ⅱ of France in 1533, a different kind of ice cream was served every day a month! 【3】

Ice cream was introduced to America in the 1700s, but mostly enjoyed by the wealthy. Around 1800, special ice houses were invented and ice cream became an American industry. 【4】 In 1946, they ate more than 20 liters of ice cream per person.

The world's most popular flavor is vanilla（香草）, which was produced from vanilla beans. 80% of the world's vanilla beans grew on the island of Madagascar, off the east coast of Africa. 【5】 And of all the days of the week, most ice cream is bought on Sunday!

A．Ice cream didn't become available to the ordinary people in France until 1660.

27、Location: Worlds of Fun is located off Highway 435 in Kansas City, Missouri.

History: Worlds of Fun was opened on May 26, 1973, at a cost of 25 million dollars. Loosely themed around the Jules Verne book, Around the World in Eighty Days, the park was founded by Hunt Midwest Company. In 1982, Hunt Midwest bought a nearby waterpark, Oceans of Fun. In 2013, Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun were combined to a one-ticket admission, providing all guests with access to(进入) 235 acres of amusement and water rides.

Hours: Worlds of Fun is open from April through Halloween.

Tickets: Buy and print online. Always try to buy your tickets in advance, to save time when you get to the park.

Reservations: World of Fun sells “ Fast Lane” cards that save rides’ time by allowing them to avoid the majority of wait for most of rides and attractions including Mamba, Plowler, and Patriot. Ride as many times as you want all day long.

Strategy(策略): Most visitors tend to(趋向于) begin in the day with Prowler, the hottest attraction in the park. Use that tendency to your advantage and head to the Patriot first. After that, try the Dragons. Then work your way back to the Prowler. After riding the Prowler, there is only one roller coaster, Mamba. Hit it next. If the park is not very crowded, you can ride Boomerang on the way to Mamba. After riding Mamba, head back for a ride on the Wolf. By then you will have tried most of the popular rides and attractions in the shortest possible time.

News: In 2014, Worlds of Fun is adding Steel Hawk, a ride that will take guests up 301 feet in the air and spin them at a 45-degree angle for a 60-second flight. Wait to have a try.

28、   Understanding the link between a clean environment and human life is not a new concept. In fact, it was noticed as early as ancient Rome. Today we see how green living has infiluenced our everyday lives. There is a growing community of people who embrace a zero waste lifestyle and make changes to the way they live to reduce their carbon footprint.

Living a zero waste lifestyle means doing one’s best to achieve the aim of not sending anything to a landfill. People who adopt this lifestyle ultimately cut down on their waste by reducing what they need and want. They reuse what they own, sending few things to be recycled.

Many people who adopt the zero waste lifestyle claim to be frustrated by the many harmful chemical substances found in beauty and cleaning products. They also find the uses of disposable items and excessive packaging. For example, how many times have we had to peel away layers of plastic wrap and cardboard before finally taking out the item which we had bought? Instead of buying pre-packed food and goods, those who identify with the zero waste philosophy tend to shop in stores that allow them to make purchases and bring their own cloth bags and glass jars to store their purchases.

Many people may have the misconception that it is easier to live a zero waste lifestyle in the West. Nevertheless, Malaysian environmental journalist, Ms. Aurora Tin, has proven that a zero waste lifestyle is possible even in the Asian context. Instead of going to the supermarket to buy pre-packaged foods, Ms. Tin now visits the wet market and brings her own bags for vegetables. She has even stopped using store-bought toothpaste and makes her own toothpaste from coconut oil and baking soda. This lifestyle may be too big a change for the average person, but we could follow her suit to make gradual changes to our own lives.

【1】Which of the following is a zero waste lifestyle?

A．Bringing a resuable container to take away food.

B．Choosing appliances that cost less money.

C．Turning off a device to stop using power.

D．Classifying the garbage before throwing it away.

【2】What may disappoint a person who adopts a zero waste lifestyle?

A．Recycable carboard.

B．Excessive packaging.

C．Glass jars to store purchases.

D．Natural substances in cleaning products.

【3】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A．How do people live a zero waste lifestyle.

B．Why Ms. Tin chooses to live a zero waste lifestyle..

C．We can also practice a zero waste lifestyle in Asia.

D．It is easy to live a zero waste lifestyle in the West.

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

A．Living a zero waste lifestyle.

B．Going green is more than a fashion.

C．A zero waste lifetyle is easy to achieve.

D．Making environmentally-conscious decisions.

29、When the Prussian naturalist Alexander von Humboldt arrived in South America in 1799, one thing astonished him. “Look at the flowers and the birds,” he wrote. “Even the crayfish are blue and yellow.”

Gradually, Humboldt’s thoughts developed and changed into an informal guess that organisms in equatorial(赤道的) areas are more colourful than those near the poles.

In a new paper in Nature Ecology & Evolution, Chris Cooney, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Sheffield, and his colleagues offer what they call the most comprehensive examination of this guess to date, demonstrating that it does apply to birds known as passerines, a family of songbirds.

Over several years, Dr Cooney’s team photographed 4,527 birds from Britain’s Natural History Museum’s data — representing roughly half the total bird diversity on Earth. As passerine birds are sensitive and visible to UV light, they see more colours than humans. The researchers, therefore, took pictures under UV light to get true bird’s-eye views.

A machine-learning method was then used to identify the colours of the feathers at hundreds of points on each sample. The total number of colours found on each bird was then mapped onto the geographic distribution of their parent species. The researchers used this data to study how colourful different regions of the world were. The key factor here was the diversity of colours on individual birds.

Equatorial birds, the researchers concluded, were indeed more colourful than their cousins in temperate (温带的) regions. The birds sampled at the equator had, on average, about 90 different colours, while birds at 60 degrees latitude (纬度) had about 70 colours.

Over the decades, numerous explanations for tropical colourfulness have been put forward. Some have guessed that warmer climates make more resources available to the creatures here, allowing them to spend energy developing adornments (装饰品). Others have pointed out that the bright colours may arise from chemical compounds in their diet, or make it possible for breeding pairs to spot one another in the darker environment of a tropical forest floor.

【1】What surprised Humboldt when he arrived in South America?

A．The breathtaking scenery.

B．The diversity of creatures.

C．The extremely hot temperature.

D．The rich colours of the organisms.

【2】What did Cooney’s team intend to do?

A．To study why passerine birds are sensitive to UV light.

B．To figure out how passerine birds are distributed in the world.

C．To test whether creatures in equatorial areas are more colourful.

D．To discover whether the colour diversity is related to the species diversity.

【3】Which of the following might Cooney agree with?

A．Colourfulness changes with latitude.

B．Colourfulness shows the evolution of birds.

C．Bright colours contribute to the survival of birds.

D．Bright colours are associated with birds’ sharp vision.

【4】Which aspect of tropical colourfulness does the last paragraph focus on?

A．Its influence.

B．Its causes.

C．Its importance.

D．Its discovery
