26、   “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is one of the most common sayings in the English languages. This is because apples were one of the first foods that medical professionals recognized as healthy—their benefits became obvious when, quite simply, doctors found that people who ate apples were sick less often than those who did not. Today we have a more specific understanding of why apples are so beneficial to overall health.

Apples can help keep your levels of bad cholesterol (胆固醇) down. The pectin (果胶) in apples helps you to maintain cardiovascular health and reduce LDL cholesterol(which is the “bad” kind). Apples themselves do not add cholesterol to your diet and are full of water and fiber to help prevent the cholesterol in other foods you might digest. According to Health Diaries, people who eat two apples per day may lower their cholesterol by as much as 16 percent.

Apples are naturally low in calories and high in water content. Eating an apple can satisfy your hunger and keep you from reaching for high-sugar, high-calories snacks. By eating apples, you will be more able to maintain a healthy weight because they fill you up, potentially stopping you from eating food that encourages a waistline increase.

Apples contain respectable levels of boron (硼), which helps build healthy bones, and can also prevent diseases like arthritis. Apples are rich in vitamin C, which is known to help build immunity.

Studies have shown that apples can decrease the risk of breast cancer, colon cancer, and liver cancer. One theory is that the apple skins are responsible for this, so be sure not to peel your apple before you eat them, as you could remove some of the health benefits.

【1】By eating apples we can get many benefits EXCEPT________.

A. lowering the cholesterol B. keeping a healthy weight

C. building immunity D. preventing heart disease

【2】Which of the following can most probably replace the underlined word “respectable”?

A. Admirable. B. Considerable.

C. Reliable. D. Valuable.

【3】Which plays an important role in reducing the risk of breast cancer?

A. The pectin. B. The apple skins.

C. The flesh of apples. D. The fiber of apples.

【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards the effect of eating apples?

A. Positive. B. Negative.

C. Doubtful. D. Uncertain.

28、   Originating back in 1869 in Cincinnati, Ohio, baseball has been a game played and loved by millions for nearly 150 years. From its origin to the present day, there have been hundreds of fantastic baseball players who have gone on to inspire new players. Here are our top inspirational baseball stars.

Curtis Pride

Pride served as a strong-armed outfielder between 1993 and 2006, playing on seven different teams throughout his baseball career. What sets Pride apart from his peers is that he has been deaf since birth. When you think of how important verbal communication is in baseball, it is remarkable how Pride was able to manage.

Pete Gray

Gray was one of the players that started his career in wartime, appearing in 77 games as a player of St. Louis Browns. Gray had an accident when he was six years old, resulting in the loss of an arm, but he never let his disability stop him from achieving his dreams.

Jim Morris

Morris attended a Tampa Bay Devil Rays tryout in 1999 and ended up leaving a great impression which saw him sign a contract with the team at 35 years old. The film "The Rookie" is based on Morris's story, letting you learn about the troubles and problems that Morris faced and overcame.

Jimmie Foxx

Born in 1907, Jimmie Foxx was described as a fearsome hitter whose strength earned him the title" The Beast". Foxx was only the second batter in baseball history to top 500 home runs(本垒打). With all his achievements, it is easy to see why Jimmie Foxx was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1951.

【1】What made Curtis Pride different from his partners?

C.His success in overcoming his disability D.His excellent communication skills in baseball.

29、   Noise pollution in cities is causing our health to suffer: one in five Europeans is regularly exposed to sound levels at night that could significantly damage their health, leading to diseases, sleep difficulties and stress. Researchers in Belgium have developed an app called NoiseTube that allows everyone to transform their smartphone into a sound level meter (仪表).

NoiseTube works by recording sound levels and GPS locations. Once launched the app shows decibel (分贝) levels of green or red depending on the level of noise. That information is then sent to the NoiseTube server via the Internet where a “noise map” is produced and then made available to the user.

The project started in 2008 as a new form of data gathering, one that was close to people and of a social concern. “Sound was an obvious choice because everyone has a microphone on their mobile phone, and noise pollution, along with air pollution is an environmental concern. Often the two go hand in hand,” D’Hondt of the NoiseTube project said.

Since its launch, the app has been popular with community groups who want to monitor their own noise levels. They don’t think that city produced noise maps give an enough explanation of the level of noise they are experiencing. City produced noise maps are based on statistical models involving very few actual measurements. NoiseTube on the other hand gives a detailed account of the level of noise experienced at a specific time and location. “Ten people walking the same area from 9am to 10am every day for one week can make a valid (有效的) and detailed map for an area of a couple of blocks,” D’Hondt said.

So far these sorts of noise maps have been produced for a number of European cities. The app has been downloaded by 10, 000 people with 2, 700 people registered on the NoiseTube website.

【1】What is the main function of NoiseTube?

A.Measure noise levels.

B.Reduce noise pollution.

C.Make people aware of noise pollution.

D.Help treat diseases caused by noise pollution.

【2】What can be learned about NoiseTube from the passage?

A.NoiseTube is mainly accepted and used by young people.

B.NoiseTube helps record the location of the noise in detail.

C.NoiseTube can show the process of drawing noise maps.

D.NoiseTube is a built-in app in a new kind of smartphone.

【3】What is paragragh 2 mainly about?

A.How NoiseTube works.

B.How NoiseTube gathers data.

C.How NoiseTube was invented.

D.How noise levels are classified.

【4】Why do people think little of city produced noise maps?

A.They aren’t drawn very clearly.

B.They are difficult to understand.

C.They can’t be used without a smartphone.

D.They can’t show the read noise level of a place.

Eva Murzyn from the University of Dundee tested two age groups— one half 【8】(age) over 55 and【9】other half under 25.

It might only s【9】 you a few seconds, but those few seconds “benefit public health by eliminating the temptation for people to r【10】 their masks in order to unlock their device”.

A huge milestone has just been reached in the field of artificial intelligence: AlphaGo, a program developed by Google’s DeepMind unit, has defeated legendary Go player Lee Se-dol in the first of five historic matches being held in Seoul, South Korea. Lee 【1】 after about three and a half hours, with 28 minutes and 28 seconds remaining on his clock. The series is the first time a professional 9-dan Go player has taken on a computer, and Lee is 【2】 for a $1 million prize.

“I was very surprised,”said Lee after the match.“I didn’t expect to lose. But I didn’t think AlphaGo would play the game in such a perfect manner.”DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis expressed“huge 【3】 for Lee Se-dol and his amazing skills.”calling the game“hugely exciting”and“very tense.”Team lead David Silver said it was an“amazing game of Go that really pushed AlphaGo to its 【4】.”

Go is an ancient Chinese board game that has long been considered one of the great 【5】faced by AI. While computer programs ow best the world’s leading human players of games like checkers and chess, the high level of intuition and 【6】required by Go has made it tough for computers to crack. DeepMind’s AlphaGo program is the most 【7】effort yet, using a complex system of deep neural networks and machine learning; it beat European champion Fan Hui last year, but Lee Se-dol is another 【8】 rival entirely.

“I don’t regret accepting this challenge,”said Lee.“I am in shock, I admit that, but what’s done is done. I enjoyed this game and look forward to the next. I think I failed on the opening layout so if I do a better job on the opening aspect I think I will be able to increase my 【9】 of winning.”Lee was surprised both by how strong AlphaGo’s opening was, and by some 【10】moves.

However, a mother spider taught me a lesson.

On my way out from my storeroom, I noticed a spider building her web across the top corner of the doorway. I reached for a hoe（锄头）m, tore down the web, and watched the giant spider run away in the grass. She was back the very next morning, in the exact same spot, busily rebuilding. I stared for a moment, and then reached for the hoe again. Then I twisted the hoe round and round, catching the spider in her own web. I carried her far into my backyard, shook the hoe and watched her fall to the ground, disappearing in the bush. The third morning, I stopped short as I entered the storeroom. The spider was back in the same corner of the door frame, her web almost completed again. I reached for the hoe, but stopped. She wants her web where she wants it, I thought, and that kind of perseverance（毅力）should pay off. I stepped back and watched her long legs busily knitting the web.

For the next few weeks, the spider and I were close neighbors. One particularly boring day, I was feeling so down that I didn’t even glance up at my spider as I entered. As I stared in wonder, I found a hundred tiny angels on the floor. I realized that these were baby spiders that the eggs had hatched, and already, as the mother watched from the corner of the home that she had built, her young were making their way to the ground.

41、阅读下面短文，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。续写的词数应为150左右。

A friend of mine whose name was John Smith had a bad memory, which made him famous. He was so forgetful that he sometimes forgot what he was talking about in the middle of a sentence. His wife had to constantly( 经常地）remind him about his meetings, his classes, even his meals! Once he forgot he had eaten breakfast twice, at home and at school. His wife liked to remind her neighbors, “If John didn’t have his head tied on, he would forget that too!” Since Smith was a professor at a well-known university, his forgetfulness was often an embarrassment to him. It wasn’t that he was not clever, as some critical people tended to say, but just very, very absent-minded.

One hot summer day, Pro.Smith decided to take his children to a seaside town about a three-hour train ride away. To make the trip more interesting for his young children, he kept the name of the town a secret. However, by the time they arrived at the station, Smith forgot the name of the town he was planning to visit. luckily, a friend of his happened to be in the station. He offered to take care of the children while Smith hurried back home to find out where he was going.

The professor’s wife was surprised to see him again so soon.

“Oh, my dear, I forgot the name of the town.”

“What? You forgot the name? Maybe one day you will forgot my name! Now I’ll write the name of that town on a piece of paper, and you put it in your pocket and please, please don’t forget where you put it.”

Satisfied that she had solved the problem, she sent her husband off again. Ten minutes later she was astonished to see him outside the house for the third time.

Paragraph 1:

“What is the matter now?” asked his wife._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

Hearing the cry, out rushed their neighbors, trying to find out what had happened. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
