26、A walker seriously injured in a mountain­top lightning strike which killed two others is showing signs of improvement, the police have said. A major rescue operation was performed on Sunday following two strikes which hit the Brecon Beacons, South Wales. Two men died, while two others were taken to hospital.

A police spokeswoman said, “A man in a serious condition in hospital, following simultaneous(同时发生的)incidents in the Brecon Beacons, has now improved and he is recovering. Officers are continuing to get in touch with the next of relatives of the dead men and enquiries are ongoing. All men were believed to be from England.”

Mark Jones,of the Brecon Mountain Rescue Team, described the lightning strike as a freak accident, and something he had not been called out to in 30 years of service.

The walking group Ramblers Cymru said that while incidents involving thunder and lightning were rare, electrical storms should be taken seriously by walkers.

The organisation's delivery officer, Elly Hannigan Popp, said, “We'd advise everyone to check the weather forecast before starting a walk. If you hear thunder, see lightning or if your hair stands on end, postpone activities even if the sky looks blue and clear. Lightning will strike as far as 10 miles away from any rainfall. Lightning can strike the same place repeatedly—especially tall, pointed, isolated objects.”

“If there is no shelter you should keep moving. And if you become the tallest object, crouch(蹲)in the open twice as far away from the nearest pointed object as it is tall. Make yourself as small as possible, stay on your toes and keep your heels together, as it will allow electricity to go up one foot, through the heels and back into the ground through the other.”

【1】What can we learn about the victims of the incident?

A．Both of the injured men are recovering slowly.

B．The bodies of the two men haven't been found.

C．The four men involved may be from the same country.

D．The police cannot contact the two dead men's relatives.

【2】Why did the author quote the police spokeswoman in Paragraph 2?

A．Because the accident is very serious.

B．To announce where the victims come from.

C．Because the police are looking into the accident.

D．To tell the readers some facts of the incident.

【3】What’s the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 3?

A．Unusual.

B．Regular.

C．Unimportant.

D．Frightening.

【4】What do the last two paragraphs tell us?

A．Harm done by lightning.

B．Warnings from a delivery officer.

C．First aid in a lightning incident.

D．Safety tips on a lightning strike.

27、   In recent years, experiments examining exercise and weight loss have found that people lose far much less weight than expected, considering how many additional calories(卡路里) they are burning with their workouts.

Scientists have guessed that exercisers are likely to become hungrier and eat more after working out. They also may sit longer when not doing exercise. Together or separately, these changes could make up for the extra energy used during exercise.

To prove that possibility, scientists came up with the idea of using infrared light(红外线) to track mice’s movements in their cages. Then software can use that information to analyse their daily physical activity.

So the researchers prepared special cages, putting inside some locked running wheels, and let mice roam(闲逛) and explore for four days in the cages. This provided the researchers with information about how many calories each mouse burned every day.

Then the wheels were unlocked and for nine days, the mice could run at will, and they could decide how much to eat and when to get off the wheels, walking around. The mice,which enjoyed running, jumped readily on the wheels and started to run. On and off the wheels, they could run for hours. They showed a following height in their daily energy expenditure(支出) since they had added exercise to their lives.

But they did not change their eating habits. Although they were burning more calories, they did not eat more. They did, however, change how they moved. They now usually jogged on their wheels for a few minutes, jumped off, rested or roamed in a while, and then climbed back on the wheels, ran, rested, briefly roamed, and it repeated. These changes in how they spent their time almost counteracted(抵消) the extra calorie costs from running, says Daniel Lark, who led the new study.

What caused the running mice to run less is still uncertain. 'But it does not seem to have been tiredness or lack of time; wheel running is not arduous for mice, and does not fill their waking hours.' Dr. Lark says.

Instead, he says, it is likely that the animals’ bodies and brains sensed the increasing energy expenditure when the mice began to run and sent out biological signals that somehow advised the animals to slow down, save energy and lose weight.

Mice will never be people, of course, so we cannot say whether the results of this would directly apply to us, Dr. Lark says. But the results do indicate that if we hope to lose more weight through, we should watch what we eat and try not to move less while we work out more.

【1】What did NOT change for the mice in the experiment?

A.How they moved. B.How long they ran.

C.How much they chose to eat. D.How they spent their time.

【2】What happened to the mice in the experiment according to the 6th paragraph?

A.They didn't like to run the wheels. B.They ate more after running the wheels.

C.They spent less time roaming in the cage. D.They didn't need rest after running the wheels.

【3】The underlined word 'arduous' in paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _______.

A.tiring B.energetic C.difficult D.different

【4】Which of the following statements may Dr. Lark agree with?

A.Wheel running costs the same amount of energy as roaming does.

B.The mice ran more because they really wanted to lose weight.

C.The experiment is a failure because the results don't apply to humans.

D.It might not be tiredness that caused the mice to run less.

【5】The purpose of writing this passage is _______.

A.to prove that scientists' guess about exercising is wrong

B.to introduce a recent research on exercise and weight loss

C.to analyze how wheel running changes mice's movements

D.to explain why eating and running are bad for exercisers

29、   CHANGSHA-Drones (无人机) for agriculture have proved popular with farmers in China. "Drones are over 10 times more efficient (有效率的) than skilled manpower (人力) and they are cost-effective and environmentally friendly," said Li Liping, a major grain grower in the county-level city of Xiangxiang in Central China's Hunan province.

The 51-year-old farmer, who learned to fly the machine three years ago, said he no longer needed to walk through the mud and water in the fields to spray and fertilize since drones have replaced manual work. "It was so exciting to see the drone taking off," said Li as he recalled the first time he used the machine in the summer of 2018.

As the COVID-19 epidemic (流行病) wanes across China, farmers are encouraged by local governments to expand their planting areas and increase their production input (投入). The city of Xiangxiang, for example, is ready to see a rich summer harvest of early rice. Li has grown some 20 more hectares of early rice this year and expects to see a major rise in grain output with drones being a great help.

Xiao Jianliang, an owner of another major farmland in Xiangxiang, has also benefited greatly from the use of drones in agriculture. Xiao said he acquired his drone license in late 2017 after a 15-day intensive training program, and the skill of flying drones has brought him additional income as the machine improves the efficiency of sowing and crop-dusting (喷杀农药). Farmers like Li and Xiao are among a growing number of Chinese farmers who are introducing smarter and innovative ideas to increase their agricultural production.

They are skilled drone pilots, capable of designing the most efficient flight routes and heights, analyzing the flight path to fill the gap and calculating the precise amount of fertilizer and pesticide for the land.

“A revolution in agricultural production is taking place because of mechanization and intelligent intensive farming, especially in pioneering areas like Xiangxiang," said Li Xiangping, an agricultural expert in Hunan with over two decades of experience in farm management.

As the demand for the machine is predicted to rise in the coming years, farmers including Li and Xiao also expect more intelligent and economical drones equipped with longer battery life.

【1】Why did Xiao Jianliang receive the training program?

A.To know the functions of flying drones.

B.To increase the agricultural production.

C.To get the skill of flying drones and a drone license.

D.To reduce the efficiency of sowing and crop-dusting.

【2】What does the underlined word "wane” in Para.3 mean?

A.Turn greater in size, number or importance.

B.Having finished and not going to continue.

C.Come near to somebody/something in distance or time.

D.Become gradually weaker, often so that it finally disappears.

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

A.The demand for the drone is uncertain.

B.The drone has some room for improvement.

C.It costs much to use the drone in agriculture.

D.Li and Xiao are rather satisfied with the drone.

【4】What can be the best title for the news report?

A.Drones have replaced manual work

B.Drones give helping hand to farmers

C.Drones are more efficient than skilled manpower

D.Drones are cost-effective and environmentally friendly

31、

The meaning of silence varies among cultural group. Silence may be 【1】, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every 【2】 with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs. Many native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of 【3】 among people, just at some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore when a person from one of these culture is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be 【4】 is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these culture, silence is a call for 【5】.

Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with 【6】 among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show 【7】between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority（权威）rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.

Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the 【8】 meanings of silence wen they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own persona and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not 【9】 too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing 【10】 of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
