26、In the movie Aquamam(海王), there are many big toothy sea creatures(生物). But it’s the city of Atlantis that really draws more people’s attention. Atlantis here is an entire underwater kingdom. Whales swim through disk-shaped buildings. It’s enough to make anyone wish for life under the sea. But while that underwater life looks peaceful, it comes with a lot of pressure(压力).

Above water, you-and everything on the planet-are under a bit of pressure. But you don’t notice it because your body is used to this pressure. Climb to the top of a mountain and there will be less air above you. That means there is less pressure. But dive into the ocean, you’ll quickly discover what real pressure is.

Water is heavier than air. The deeper you swim below the surface, the more strongly you feel water pressure. Every 10 meters (or about 33 feet) of depth adds another 6.6 kilograms per square centimeter of pressure. “If you took an empty plastic water bottle and went down 75 feet, it would be pressed to change its shape,” notes George Elvin. He works at North Carolina State University in Raleigh.

People are a bit stronger than empty plastic water bottles, of course. But they can be hurt. “The deepest human dive(潜水) unprotected by anything is about 1,000 feet,” Elvin says. At this depth, the body is experiencing 100 times the amount of pressure it experiences above the surface. At a deeper depth, Elvin explains, there’s so much pressure that many parts of your body-such as your lungs-would simply fail to work. If your lungs don’t work, you can’t breathe.

Most people live on the dry ground, but there are a few who live underwater for short periods, where the pressure is not too high. Even then, though, they require time to get used to water pressure, notes Roger Garcia, director of the Aquarius Reef Base. It’s an underwater living place where scientists can live for a few days when they study the ocean. The inside of this place is filled with air kept at the same pressure as the water outside. At that depth, Garcia says, it doesn’t really feel like the water is pressing in on all sides, and he’s got plenty of experience with it. There’s only one thing he notices. “The gas is denser(密度大的) than that at sea level,” he notes, “so most of the time your voice is a little bit deeper.” Returning to the surface, however, isn’t easy. As someone swims to the surface, water pressure drops. This can form bubbles in the body. If those bubbles form in the blood or brain, they can cause pain in your body.

A．It is just partly under the water.

B．It’s built by big toothy sea creatures.

【3】Why is people’s voice a little bit deeper at the Aquarius Reef Base?

A．Water pressure is too high in it.

B．Denser air there changes sound a bit.

C．Bubbles in the deep water deepen voice.

D．There isn’t so much gas in the deep water.

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

A．Atlantis in the movie Aquamam.

B．Pressure we can feel under the sea.

C．Dangers of living undersea for long.

27、   When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.

My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs. Tan.”

And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me cheek, already two weeks late.”

And then, in perfect English I said : “I’m getting rather concerned. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”

Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”

The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan , was shouting to his boss in her broken English.

When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.

【1】Why was the author’s mother poorly served?

A．She was unable to speak good English.

B．She was often misunderstood.

C．She was not clearly heard.

D．She was not very polite.

【2】After the author made the phone call, .

A．they forgave the stockbroker

B．they failed to get the check

C．they went to New York immediately

D．they spoke to their boss at once

【3】What does the author think of her mother’s English now?

A．It confuses her.

B．It embarrasses her.

C．It helps her understand the world.

D．It helps her tolerate rude people.

【4】We can infer from the passage that Chinese English ________ .

A．is clear and natural to non-native speakers

B．is vivid and direct to non-native speakers

C．has a very bad reputation in America

D．may bring inconvenience in America

28、It’s fall, and that means some trees are losing their leaves. Many people might see cleaning up all that yard waste as tiring. But Bryant Liu, 13, looked at his leaf-blanketed lawn and saw a potential source of energy.

Right now, most people fuel their cars with petrol made from fossil fuels (化石燃料), which are not renewable. So scientists are making biofuels. For example, engineers can produce bioethanol - a type of alcohol fuel - from sugars in plants. Turning to dead leaves, however, presents a challenge for biofuel developers. Dead leaves have sugar, but they also have lots of lignin - a tough substance (物质) that strengthens the walls of plant cells. To get to the sugars inside, scientists first have to break down the lignin with chemicals.

Bryant wanted to see if he could get sugar for biofuels out of dead leaves by pretreating those leaves with acids or bases (碱).The young researcher gathered up three garbage bags full of leaves from his yard. Then he went to his father’s laboratory. He broke the dead leaves into pieces, and then carefully loaded equal numbers of them into test tubes. Afterwards, he added either an acid solution or a base solution at different concentrations to the test tubes. “That was really fun,” Bryant says. “It made me feel like a real scientist.” Finally, the teen found that pretreating leaves with either an acid or base encouraged sugar to get out from his yard’s leaves. However, he explains, the process is still too expensive.

Bryant now wants to take the sugars from his finding to the next step - making ethanol. If he could create a better method for producing biofuels, he explains, people would need fewer fossil fuels and “have a renewable energy source for the future.” And, Bryant adds, if people use all those dead leaves for biofuels, he and other kids may have to do less cleaning each fall.

【1】What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?

A．Reflect on Bryant’s experiences.

B．Use examples to support the topic.

C．Add some background information.

D．Introduce a new topic for discussion.

【2】What is the purpose of Bryant’s experiment?

A．To test the toughness of the lignin.

B．To find the differences between acids and bases.

C．To identify the functions of the elements of leaves.

D．To get sugar from dead leaves using acids and bases.

【3】What is Bryant’s next step?

A．To produce biofuels from dead leaves.

B．To promote the use of biofuels worldwide.

C．To make his pretreating process less costly.

D．To encourage other kids to collect dead leaves.

【4】Which of the following best describes Bryant?

A．He is caring.

B．He is demanding.

C．He has a good sense of humor.

D．He has a spirit of exploration.

29、FOR thousands of years, Stonehenge has confused visitors with a seemingly unanswerable question: Why would anyone carry so many huge stones across Britain and put them in a ring? It seems even stranger when you think of the fact that it was done by prehistoric people working without modern technology, not even a wheel.

Stonehenge has started endless debates over the centuries. Experts have said at different times that it was a temple, a calendar (日历) or a graveyard (墓地).

Yet “all the ideas to date could be mistaken,” said Julian Spalding, a famous art critic (评论家) and former director of some of the UK’s leading museums. “We’ve been looking at Stonehenge the wrong way: from the earth, which is very much a 20th century viewpoint,” he told The Guardian.

Spalding has put forward a new theory about Stonehenge in his latest book, Realisation: From Seeing to Understanding. “The current theories about Stonehenge are based on looking across the ground, which is a modern idea,” he writes in his new book. He told The Guardian that in ancient times, spiritual ceremonies didn’t happen on the ground. Prehistoric people believed that in this way they could get closer to the heavens. So Spalding says that “rituals (仪式) at Stonehenge were performed in the same way – not among the stones, but on top of them,” reported The Washington Post.

He re-imagines a scene in his book, explaining how the mysterious site was used: Stonehenge held up a large, circular platform (平台). It was a raised altar (圣坛) reached by stairs, and thousands of people might have worshipped (祈祷) there.

To support his theory, Spalding lists examples from ancient civilizations worldwide. In China, Peru and Turkey, such sacred (神圣的) monuments (遗迹) were built high up, whether on man-made or natural sites. In an interview with The Washington Post, Spalding said the wood that would have been used for the platform had long since rotted away (腐烂), leaving only the stone pillars (柱子) that supported it behind.

So far scholars have had “a fair degree of skepticism (怀疑)” about these ideas, according to The Huffington Post. Sir Barry Cunliffe, prehistorian and Oxford University archaeology (考古学) professor, said: “He could be right, but I know of no evidence to support it ... There are a large number of stone circles around the country which clearly didn’t have a platform on top. So why should Stonehenge?”

【1】What is the article mainly about?

A. The history of Stonehenge.

B. A new theory about Stonehenge.

C. Why Stonehenge has started endless debates over the centuries.

D. How Stonehenge is different from other ancient civilizations.

【2】According to Spalding’s theory, Stonehenge ______.

A. was a prehistoric calendar

B. should be looked at from the earth

C. was a raised altar for worship

D. was simply a natural site

【3】How does Spalding support his theory about Stonehenge?

A. By raising questions.

B. By providing related figures.

C. By quoting other experts’ research.

D. By giving examples from other civilizations.

【4】We can infer from the article that Cunliffe is ______ Spalding’s theory.

A. supportive of B. amazed at

C. worried about D. doubtful about
