26、   Rats that eat high levels of a natural sugar known as fructose（果糖）seem to age faster than other rats-and the same could be true for people who eat too much sweet junk food, Israeli researchers said Monday.

Fructose, found naturally in honey and fruit, is used widely in foods ranging from soft drinks to yogurt. But while its sweet taste is popular, the sugar could cause wrinkles, the researchers said. Dr. Moshe Werman and Boaz Levi of the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology fed large amounts of fructose to laboratory rats. Writing in the Journal of Nutrition, they said the fructose-fed rats showed changes in the collagen（胶原蛋白）of their skin and bones. Collagen basically holds the body together. The loss of collagen is what causes loose skin and deep wrinkles in older people.

The process affected, Werman's team said, is known as cross-linking（交叉相连）. "Too much cross-linking makes the skin stiff, and these are the conditions that encourage wrinkled skin," Werman said in a statement. He said the same could be true of people, although this has not been shown. "Americans are eating more and more processed foods such as baked goods, canned fruits, jams and dairy products that contain fructose," Werman said. Other studies have shown that taking in high fructose may cause diabetes（糖尿病）.

The rats Werman worked with were fed much more than the average adult person might eat in a day, which is standard in such experiments. The rats were fed 19.5 grams of fructose per kg of weight every day for a year.

【1】In the experiments, if a rat was 0.25 kg, it may have been fed about   grams of fructose every day for a year.

A.3 B.4

C.5 D.6

【2】What is the reason why older people have deep wrinkles?

A.They don't drink enough water every day.

B.Collagen in their body is missing.

C.They don't take enough exercise every day.

D.They like eating sugar.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.The rats in Werman’s lab ate much more sugar than an ordinary adult might eat in a day.

B.Too much cross-linking makes the skin soft.

C.The fructose-fed rats only showed changes in the collagen of their skin.

D.It hasn't been shown that taking in high fructose may cause diabetes.

【4】The best title for the passage should be “ ” .

A.Sugar — it could reduce collagen B.Sugar — it could age you

C.Collagen — it could cause wrinkles D.Collagen — it could age you

27、   Some people say that we are reading less than ever. In a sense, that’s true, at least for certain forms of writing. However, you might be reading a lot more than you think.

Although printed publications (出版物) still enjoy large sales, you can read many of the same materials online. Some books, magazines and journals can be found online. Blogs and other information resources (资源) can also be easily found. There are lots of materials to read on computer screens.

Reading habits are generally measured by the number of minutes spent in reading. You can also measure these habits by the number of pages. You might think that new television channels and online games, along with the Web surfing, might make people read less. The Internet does influence reading, but the results may be a bit of a surprise.

The Internet has influenced people’s reading habits. However, the time spent in reading books for pleasure doesn’t change a lot, although people are managing to read fewer books every year. In addition, many magazines and newspapers can be read online at any time. Many publications that are weekly or monthly in print form are updated (更新) much more quickly on the Web.

There’s no doubt that online reading has changed what we read and how long we read, and now we read most things less carefully. However, when you consider how much we read, we are still doing a lot. The biggest change is that the medium that we use to read has changed.

【1】What does the underlined part mean in the second paragraph?

A．Online materials don’t cost very much.

B．Printed publications are more expensive.

C．Printed publications become less popular.

D．Many people still buy printed publications.

【2】What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?

A．People have more reading materials to choose online.

B．Printed publications are more popular than online ones.

C．People are more willing to share reading materials online.

D．Printed publications are getting more and more expensive.

【3】What is the author’s attitude towards online reading?

A．Doubtful.

B．Supportive.

C．Uninterested.

D．Disappointed.

【4】What is the most important change in people’s reading now?

A．They spend more time reading.

B．They don’t like reading books any more.

C．There are more ways for them to read.

D．They read more printed books and magazines.

28、   Some successful brands are memorable for their creativity. They convey accurate information to us. However, some of these origins are very interesting.

Google

The world’s largest search engine has developed a brand. Its founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin knew their company’s potential when they were freshmen at Stanford. The original plan was to name it “googol”, which meant “a huge number”, but Larry Page misspelled it as “Google”. Both the site and the company registered “Google”. However, this error distinguishes “Google” from other search engines.

McDonald’s

The original name came from the last name of the inventors: Maurice “Mac” and Richard “Dick” McDonald. Before 1940, they owned and operated a successful restaurant, but once World War II was over, they decided to try a new system to reduce the time people spent waiting for their food. So the first McDonald’s opened in 1948. Over time, their simple and bright colors have made it one of the most recognizable symbols on the earth.

Rolex

Hans Wilsdorf, founder of the Rolex brand, says he wants a short watch name to pronounce easily. After combining all the letters and coming up with 100 possible names, none of them fit the bill. But a trip on a horse-drawn ride changed the fate of his company, because a “genius”, as he called it, whispered the word “Rolex” into his ear.

IKEA

Founded in 1943, IKEA went from selling all kinds of objects to becoming the benchmark of Swedish creativity worldwide with its furniture and facilitates packaging. The word IKEA is a combination of the first letters of founder’s first name and last name: Ingvar Kamprad, the farm where he grew up: Elmtaryd, and the town in southern Sweden where it was located: Agunnaryd.

【1】What contributed to the brand “Google”?

A.The company’s plan. B.Larry Page’s mistake.

C.The company’s potential. D.Sergey Brin’s creation.

【2】What was the original intention of McDonald’s?

A.To earn more money.

B.To create simple and bright colors.

C.To offer convenience for customers.

D.To expand the business to the world.

【3】Which brand has something to do with the founder’s hometown?

A.Google. B.McDonald’s. C.Rolex. D.IKEA.

29、   You’ve got to get an early start tomorrow, but you’re not sleepy yet. Blame your brain, at least in part. Yet that same brain is still under construction. And much of that important work takes place while you sleep. Here’s what’s happening and why it matters.

Today’s lifestyle is one reason for late bedtimes. Many teens don’t finish with after-school activities, part-time jobs, dinner, and homework until 10 p.m. or later. Add in some time for relaxing, especially time for screens, and bedtime may not roll around until 11 p.m. or nearly midnight. In response, the brain cuts back melatonin（褪黑素）, a hormone that promotes sleep. Even without modern technology, though, teens change their daily cycle for sleeping, waking, and various other activities.

The rest of the world doesn’t change, however. So most teens must head to school before they’ve gotten the 8.5 to 9. 5 hours of sleep recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. And that’s a serious public health problem. For one thing, lack of sleep makes it harder to pay attention. When studies compared teens who had earlier and later school start times, they found that those who had more time to sleep did better in class. They also suffered fewer accidents in sports, driving, and other activities. Lack of sleep could also hurt mental health. Studies have found an inverse correlation（负相关）between teens’ amount of sleep and depression and other mental illnesses. As sleep time went down, the risks for the mental illnesses went up. Beyond that, teens lacking in sleep report more relationship problems and feelings of inadequacy.

Lots of issues remain for sleep researchers to explore. For now, though, studies are clear：Teens’ brains need sleep.

【1】Teen’s lifestyle today most likely leads to _______.

A.the change of daily cycle

B.the rise of melatonin release

C.the growth of relaxing time

D.the decrease of technology use

【2】With the amount of sleep decreasing, teens may experience _______.

A.poorer concentration B.lower illness risk

C.stronger relationship D.greater emotional change

【3】The author probably supports the idea that _______.

A.sleep issues are extremely hard to solve

B.school time is generally impossible to adjust

C.enough sleep is clearly beneficial to teens’ health

D.the brain is chiefly responsible for teens’ sleep problems

35、I have a muscle disease but I don't look any different from other people. Sometimes, I was too weak【1】 go to school so my education suffered. Every time I returned after an【2】(absent), I felt stupid because I was behind the others.

My life is a lot easier at high school because few fellow students make me【3】(annoy). My ambition is to work for a firm【4】develops computer software when I grow up. Last year I invented a computer football game and a big company has decided to buy it from me. I have a very busy life with no time to sit around【5】(feel) sorry for myself. As well as going to the movies and football matches with my friends. I spend a lot of time looking after my pets【6】(proper) but I find it worthwhile.

In many ways my disability has helped me grow stronger psychologically and become more【7】 (independence). I have to work hard to live a normal life but it has been worth it. If【8】(have) a chance to say one thing to healthy children, it would be this: having a disability does not mean your life is not satisfying. So don't feel sorry for the disabled or make fun【9】them, and don't ignore them either. Just accept them for who they are, and give them encouragement to live【10】rich and full a life as you do.

36、Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Knowledge is free on the Internet at a small but 【1】 number of colleges and universities. About 160 schools around the world now put free course materials on the web to the 【2】. Recent additions in the United States 【3】 projects at Yale, Johns Hopkins and the University of California, Berkeley.

Berkeley said it would offer videos of lectures on YouTube. Free videos from other schools are 【4】 at the Apple iTunes store.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) became an early 【5】 with its Open Course Ware project, first 【6】 in 2001. Free lecture notes, exams and other resources are published at ocw.mit.edu. Many exams even include the answers. Today, Open Course Ware offers materials from 1,800 undergraduate and graduate courses. These 【7】 from Physics to Political Science. Visitors can learn the same things as MIT students learn. But as the site points out, Open Course Ware is not an MIT education. Visitors receive no credit toward a degree. Some materials from a course may not be available, and the site does not provide 【8】 with teachers. Still, MIT says that the site has had forty million visits by thirty-one million visitors from almost every country. Sixty percent of the visitors are from outside the United States and Canada. Students and educators use the site, including students at MIT. But the largest number of visitors, about half, are self-learners.

Some professors have become well-known around the world as a result of 【9】 online. Walter Lewin, a physics professor at MIT, is 【10】 popular. Fans enjoy his entertaining lectures. MIT Open Course Ware now includes materials for high school. The aim is to improve education in Science, Technology, Math and Engineering.

37、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.

Driving an electric car 【1】 to the protection of environment, or so the marketing departments of their makers would have you believe. Yet a report which analyzes car emissions presents a rather different picture. A battery-powered car recharged with 【2】 generated by coal-fired power stations, it found, is likely to be more harmful. It could cause more than three times as many deaths from pollution as a 【3】 petrol-driven vehicle.

The study was carried out by the University of Minnesota. The researchers estimated how levels of fine particulate matter (细颗粒物) and ground-level ozone — two important 【4】 of air pollution — would change when a car is powered by different ways.

It was no surprise that electric cars whose batteries were recharged with power from wind, solar or hydro-electric sources came out to be virtually free from harmful 【5】. They were estimated to cause 231 deaths over the course of a year, compared with 878 for petrol cars. Electric cars recharged with power from natural gas-fired stations were also a lot less harmful than petrol-driven ones, with 439 deaths. But if those same electric cars were recharged 【6】 by coal, they would be responsible for over 3,000 deaths.

Biofuels also caused more health problems than petrol. But diesel, which often  【7】 concern about pollution, is slightly cleaner than petrol. This is because the study assumes for all cars that emission-control technologies will be more widely used, especially particulate filters which have a remarkable effect on cleaning diesel 【8】. Diesel cars are also more 【9】 of fuel than petrol-driven ones.

Overall, the study shows that electric cars are cleaner than those traditional vehicles only if the power used to charge then is also clean. That is hardly a surprise, but the 【10】 of the difference is. How green electric cars really are, then, will depend mainly on where they are driven. In France, which obtains more than half of its power from nuclear station, electric cars look like a good bet. In China and some other developing countries, where a large amount of electricity is produced from coal, they may not be so environment- friendly as they are marketed.

41、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I sat in the breakfast corner with my four-year-old son, Matthew, trying to ignore the ache in my stomach. I was still recovering from a surgery. I hoped for strength and happiness. But the future seemed so hopeless , I’d always wanted five or six kids. Three surgeries later, that dream would never come true.

Matthew jumped up from his spot on the kitchen floor. “Bird!” he shouted, rushing to the sliding door. Sure enough, there was a white dove (鸽子)seated on a rubber tree. It sat there a few moments, and then flew away. I’d never seen one in our neighborhood before.

When I dragged myself to the kitchen the next morning, the dove was back. This time it was with a mate carrying twigs(嫩枝).”Look, Matthew,” I said, pointing to the tree. “They're going to make a nest.” The doves flew in and out of the courtyard all week, building on the top of the rubber tree. Matthew could hardly contain his excitement. Every morning, he'd run into the kitchen and take his spot by the sliding glass door, talking to the birds while they worked. As much as I was grieving(感到悲伤),I couldn't help but look forward to the doves’   visits too. We watched their progress as if it were a real-life soap opera unfolding before us. I’d do the cooking and for a moment, my pain disappeared, replaced by joy.

Then it all went wrong. The courtyard was a safe enough spot for a nest, but the rubber tree's broad, thin leaves were far from stable. One night, a strong wind blew through, throwing the doves' nest to the ground. I heard the twigs break apart. Nothing good ever lasts. I wouldn't blame the doves if they never came back. But they returned. And they paid no attention to the pile of sticks that had once been their nest. They started again from scratch(从头开始), though the wind destroyed all their hard work. The next day, and the next, they renewed their efforts, as if nothing had happened.
