27、   One of the first things that Jim discovered while living with the Greens was that there were different television channels（频道）in Britain, the BBC broadcasts on two channels: BBC1 and BBC2. There is a mixture of serious and light programmes on BBC1; there are mainly serious programmes on BBC2. ITV is an independent（独立的）channel which carries advertisements（广告）. There are no advertisements on the BBC, so everyone must pay some money to the BBC each year. There are both serious and light programmes on ITV. Because of the different channels, it is not surprising that you often see each member in Mg. Green’s house wants to choose his or her own favorite channel. This is the sort of thing you hear:

“There’s sports programme on ITV.”

“What’s that, children?”

“We were wondering if we could watch the sports programme on ITV.”

“But I was wondering whether to watch the other programme on BBC1.” And so on. The children like ITV; mother prefers BBC1; father prefers BBC2. Jim hasn’t made up his mind.

【1】There are no advertisements on   .

A.ITV B.BBC1 only

C.BBC2 only D.BBC1, nor on BBC2

【2】What programme did the children want to watch?

A.A sports programme. B.A serious programme.

C.A light programme. D.An advertisement.

【3】How many persons are mentioned in the passage?

A.Three. B.Four.

C.Five. D.At least five.

28、   Do you suppose Darwin, one of the greatest scientists of all time, really did fools’ experiments? Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other people just thought they were foolish?

Sometimes, people think they already know the answer to a question or the solution (解决办法) to a problem. Sometimes, they really do know an answer or a solution, but without thinking they are important.

Charles Darwin didn’t settle for (满足于) just thinking he knew something. And, he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.

Suppose you drop sheets of paper that are of exactly the same size and shape. If you drop them at the same time in the same place, they will fall in the same way. Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight (紧的) little ball and let it drop along with the other sheets. What happens? You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn’t be worth anything.

But this simple experiment is important. It explains part of our present-day understandings of physics and ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton. And these understandings set aside some of ancient Greek physics.

A scientist sometimes stops to look at very simple things and to think very hard about them. Even the simplest idea, which we might think is foolish, can shake the foundations of science.

【1】The passage tells us that Charles Darwin ________.

A.was a great English scientist

B.didn’t get on well with others

C.thought even the simplest thing was important

D.always liked doing the experiments that others thought difficult

【2】The phrase “set aside” in paragraph 5 most probably means “________”.

A.throw away B.put to use C.realize D.store up

【3】In the scientists’ eyes, sometimes the very simple things may ________.

A.tell us everything of our life B.shake the foundations of science

C.discover the truth of the nature D.help them finish the experiment

【4】The author of the passage tries to ________.

A.draw our attention to everyday happenings around us

B.draw the conclusion that basic sciences are simple things

C.prove that two sheets of paper always fall at the same speed

D.prove that only Charles Darwin, Galileo and Newton are the greatest scientists.

29、   A study has found that middle-aged and older adults who live in greener neighborhoods have a decreased risk of developing metabolic syndrome (新陈代谢综合征) such as obesity(肥胖), hypertension(高血压)and high blood sugar.

The study, published in Environmental Pollution, was organized by the Barcelona Institute (研究所) for Global Health (ISGlobal). It differed from previous studies on the health benefits of green spaces in that it examined all of the symptoms (症状) of metabolic syndrome together collectively rather than as individual elements. Having metabolic syndrome increases a person's risk of heart disease, strokes and type 2 diabetes, according to the National Heart, Lung, and blood Institute.

The study from ISGlobal examined data from clinical examinations of over 6,000 British adults who were between 45 and 69 years old when the study began. The data was derived from four examinations participants who went through between 1997 and 2013 that included blood analyses, blood pressure and measurement of weight. “These findings suggest that long-term exposure to green spaces can play an important role in preventing metabolic syndrome as a whole.” according to a press release published by ISGlobal.

The correlation between nearness to green spaces and better health could be associated with the expanded opportunities for physical recreation and lower exposure to air pollution, according to Carmen De Keijzer, ISGlobal researcher and principal author of the study.

Female subjects were more likely than males to show the study's connection between living in greener and healthier neighborhoods and having fewer metabolic symptoms. “Women tend to spend more time in their residential (住宅的) neighborhood, which could explain this gender difference.” Carmen said. “We need greener cities if we want healthier cities.” She added.

【1】What do we know about the study from the first two paragraphs？

A.Symptoms were examined one by one. B.Several institutes took part in the study together.

C.Young people were not included in the study. D.It was the first study on health benefits.

【2】Why do women have fewer metabolic symptoms？

A.Because they have a different gender. B.Because they stay more where they live.

C.Because they live in greener cities. D.Because they live in healthier cities.

【3】What can be a suitable title for the text？

A.Living in Greener and Healthier Cities.

B.Women Having Fewer Metabolic Symptoms.

C.Metabolic Syndrome Increasing Heart Disease.

D.Greener Neighborhoods, Fewer Metabolic Symptoms.
