26、In some parts of the world, COVID-19 is not the only plague that 2020 has brought. In parts of Asia and east Africa, swarms (成群) of locusts have ruined fields. The UN figures the swarms in India and Pakistan are the largest for a quarter of a century, and that the numbers in Kenya are the highest for 70 years. One swarm in northern Kenya was estimated to be 25 miles long and 37 miles wide.

Locusts are usually inoffensive, solitary creatures that live alone and do not stay far from the place that they were born. But under the right circumstances—namely heavy rain, and plant harvests—they can become “gregarious”. When that happens, the insects gather in hungry swarms which can fly more than 100km in a day.

In a paper published in Nature, Xiaojiao Guo, of the Institute of Zoology in Beijing, and a group of other researchers, shed light on the factor that drives that transformation. They think they have identified the specific pheromone (信息素) that attracts the insects to each other, and thus causes them to swarm.

Dr Guo and her colleagues collected35 chemicals collected from the bodies and faeces (排泄物) of the most widespread locust. When tested, gregarious locusts were strongly attracted to just one, a chemical called 4-vinylanisole (4VA). That attraction was strong for immature and mature locusts alike, and for both males and females.

Dr Guo’s results could be of more than academic interest. Humans have tried everything from insecticides to flame-throwers to deal with locust swarms. If a chemical could be developed that blocks the receptor (接收器), the insects might be made deaf to its call. If 4VA turns out to be a language that all locusts understand, then it may help humans persuade them to abandon their gregarious ways, and return to a solitary life.

【1】What does the underlined word “gregarious” in the second paragraph mean?

A．separate

B．hungry

C．in danger

D．in groups

【2】Why does the author mention the swarms in India and Pakistan in the first paragraph?

A．To make a comparison with COVID-19

B．To offer a new perspective to block the locusts

C．To show how serious the locusts plague is

D．To calculate the damages Asian countries have suffered

【3】What is the author’s attitude towards the chemical 4VA?

A．Doubtful

B．Positive

C．Respectful

D．Cautious

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．Why locusts swarm?

B．Locust plague in India and Africa

C．A great scientist in Biochemistry

D．How to deal with locusts swarms

27、Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation(诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.

Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t?

To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines(学科). Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development, and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.

On the whole, Brooks’s story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’s attempt to translate his tale into science.

【1】The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to __________.

A. illustrate where science can be applied

B. demonstrate the value of Brooks’s new book

C. remind the reader of the importance of science

D. explain why many writers use science in their works

【2】According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?

A. Its strong basis.   B. Its convincing points.

C. Its clear writing.   D. Its memorable characters.

【3】What is the author’s general attitude towards the book?

A. Contradictory.   B. Supportive.

C. Cautious.   D. Critical.

【4】What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?

A. Problems with the book.   B. Brooks’s life experiences.

C. Death of the characters.   D. Brooks’s translation skills.

28、Pupils remember more and behave better when 3D images are used in lessons，research suggests．They are quicker to learn and absorb new concepts，and display higher levels of concentration．

Professor Anne Bamford，of the University of the Arts，London， studied the effectiveness of 3D content in 15 schools across seven countries，including the UK．Pupils in 3D classes can remember more than those in the 2D classes after four weeks，improving test scores by an average of 1 7 percent compared with eight percent for 2D lessons．They gave more detailed answer to the tasks and were more likely to think in 3D, using hand gestures and mime(模仿动作) to answer the test questions successfully．

The teachers commented that the pupils in the 3D groups had deeper understanding，increased attention span, more motivation and higher engagement in the lessons．

Children are used to 3D with the rise of computer games that use the technology—90 percent of those in the study had seen a 3D film．Schools would need 3D—enabled projectors(投影仪)，laptops with good picture capabilities，3D software and glasses for children to introduce animations(动作) into classrooms．

But Danny Nicholson，an educationist，said the technology would be impractical to use in schools and could be costly．He said，“While I think the idea of 3D technology is very interesting， I worry that 3D is a bit of an expensive gimmick(小玩意儿)．There are a few cases where a true 3D image might help，but most of the time，good 2D models that can be moved would be just as effective．”

In the US，one school district in Colorado is already in the process of having 1．000 3D projectors fixed in classrooms．And the University of Caledonia, which carries out scientific research into the Lake Tabon Basin  has used 3D presentations with Grade Six pupils．Those who watched the 3D presentations were more engrossed and reported a general increase in their interest in science compared with students who watched the 2D version．

【1】What is the main idea of the first three paragraphs?

A．There are slight differences between 3D and 2D images．

B．Pupils perform better when 3D images are used in classes．

C．Schools have difficulties in making full use of 3D technology．

D．3D technology is always more effective than 2D technology．

【2】Danny Nicholson holds the view that 3D_____.

A．is of no help in classes

B．has a bright future in classes

C．is more practical than 2D models

D．may not be affordable for schools

【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．3D technology will replace 2D models in the future．

B．Many pupils are now more Interested In science than before．

C．Teachers will use the 3D technology through specific training．

D．3D will soon be put into use in one school district in Colorado．

【4】The underlined word “engrossed” in the last paragraph means_____.

A．absorbed B．annoyed C．relaxed   D． Confused

29、How to make sure your phone stays private and safe

Our phones are more than just phones. It’s important to make sure they stay safe. Here is some advice about how to keep your phone safe.

Your phone should have a lock screen

At the least, you should be using a 6-digit PIN(六位密码).

Keep your phones updated (更新)

The phone updates bring more than just new features, but many safe updates, too. The longer you don’t update, the more you put yourself a risk.

Use a password manager

Passwords are hard to remember, especially since there are so many different services. Use a password manager like Lastpass and 1password. These password managers are quiet cheap and take much of the hassle out of remembering lots of passwords.

Activate “find my phone”

The first is if you lose it, you’ll be able to find it again. The second important reason is you can wipe it remotely (远程地). While the chances of getting a phone back are limited, you can at least wipe it and prevent others from finding anything on it.

Avoid public Wi-Fi

Free Wi-Fi can seem like a good idea, but the reality is you leave yourself open to hackers (黑客). Public Wi-Fi is easy access. Easy access means a hacker can learn about all the data you send or receive through free Wi-Fi. That’s not great if you’re checking your bank account details or sending personal information somewhere. The best action is to avoid public Wi-Fi completely or turn Wi-Fi off when you don’t need it.

【1】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “hassle”?

A．Happiness.

B．Difficulty.

C．Discovery.

D．Connection.

【2】What should we do if we want to get rid of the information on our lost phones?

A．Activate “find my phone”.

B．Have a lock screen for our phones.

C．Keep our phones updated every day.

D．Use public Wi-Fi spots freely.

【3】What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?

A．Make a conclusion for the text.

B．Introduce a new topic for discussion.

C．Tell us not to use public Wi-Fi often.

D．Advise us to make bank account safe.

A Christmas Visit

As 17-year-old Torriell Norwood drove through St. Petersburg, Florida, last February with her friends to pay a visit to the great park, she shared her dream of becoming a doctor. She had recently taken some first aid courses. The other girls shared stories of their experiences and adventures. But the laughter and chatter from the four teenage girls in the car quickly gave way to screams, As they passed a road junction(交叉路口), a car crashed into the side of their vehicle, sending their black car sailing into the yard of a nearby home. It only stopped when it crashed into a tree. All of the girls were in panic.

As smoke rose from the car, a bystander(旁观者)shouted, “It’s about to blow up . Get out. ”The impact had bent the driver’s door, meaning it wouldn’t open. The bystander seized the door handle of the car, using all his strength to pull it open, but failed. Shaken, but otherwise OK. Norwood crawled out through the window. She had a cut on the right side of her face. Her lovely face became very pale. Along with two of her friends, who’d also managed to free themselves, she ran for her life.

But halfway down the street, she realized that her best friend, Azarria Simmons, was not with them. Norwood ran back to the car and found Simmons lying in the back seat. “She isn’t moving,” Norwood shouted, with her heart beating hard. She threw open the back door and pulled her friend out, avoiding the broken glass as best she could. She dragged Simmons a few feet to safety and laid her on the ground. She checked per pulse. Nothing. She put her head against Simmons’s chest. No sign of life. That’s when she started CPR(心肺复苏术)
