26、Gardeners may be able to cut down on the amount of weeds(杂草）killer they use by dealing with invaders at specific times of the day, such as dawn, a new study suggests.

Researchers at the University of Bristol have discovered that the 24-hour rhythms of plants leave them more defenseless to herbicides(除草剂) at different points in their daily 24 hour cycle.

They believe the findings could help farmers by reducing crop loss and improving harvests. And gardeners could benefit from knowing which weeds respond better at certain times of the day. In recent years, pesticides and herbicides have been implicated in the decline of important pollinating insects, such as bees.

Dr Antony Dodd，senior author of the new study，said: “The research suggests that, in future, we might be able to improve the use of some chemicals that are used in agriculture by taking advantage of the biological clock in plants.

Just like humans, plants have evolved to take advantage of cycles of night and day, with certain biological processes turning on at different times of the day.

Scientists have discovered that many drugs work much better in humans if they are given at specific hours. Aspirin, for example, has doubled the impact on thinning the blood if taken at night as opposed to in the morning. The process is known as ‘chronotherapy’ and researchers wanted to find out if the same concept could be applied to plants.

Many gardeners already know that plants drink in more water in the morning because their pores(气孔) are open to take advantage of early morning dew and water vapour. At the break of the day, plants are also not busy producing food throughphotosynthesis(光和作用）.The open pores could also be the reasons that chemicals are more effective at dawn and also at dusk.

The air is also likely to be stiller at dawn and dusk, meaning that pesticides or herbicides are less likely to be blown away to places where they are not wanted. Pesticide labels often warn against spraying on windy days in case they endanger people or animals. Many insects are active early in the morning and around dusk, also making very early morning and early evening effective times for insecticide.

Commenting on the study, Dr. Trevor Dines, Botanical Specialist at the conservation charity Plantlife, said: “This is fascinating research which will be of great interest to many gardeners like me. If anything used to think the opposite was true - that applying herbicides and pesticides late in the day would be better as they’d remain in Vet contact' with the plant for longer in the cool of the night and therefore be taken up or absorbed more effectively. This research knocks that assumption on its head”

【1】Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “implicated in” in the third paragraph?

A．restored to

B．blamed for

C．limited to

D．composed of

【2】According to the research, what are the reasons for using herbicides in the morning?

A．The process of photosynthesis is most active in the morning.

B．Insects are more defenseless in the morning than any other time of the day.

C．Bigger pores on the plants make herbicides work more effectively.

D．The stronger morning wind blows pesticides away to more places.

【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Gardeners were interested in combining science with gardening.

B．A long time had passed before herbicide was applied in farming.

C．The old assumption about the use of chemicals proved right.

D．Many gardeners used to spray herbicides at the wrong time.

【4】What is the main idea of this article?

A．New chemicals have been found to help kill harmful insects.

B．Biological clock of plants could help gardeners use less weed killer.

C．Plants’ cycles can be taken advantage of to improve the environment.

D．The research on the effects of pesticides has enabled good harvests.

27、Geoffrey is a 10-pund pink delivery robot developed by Canadian company Tiny Mile. It is controlled from a distance by a human using a computer and a joystick(操纵杆), navigating with GPS and watching through cameras.

With Geoffrey, we don’t need to keep delivery humans standing around waiting for the order to be ready, and all those restaurant humans watching their food get cold when the driver hasn’t shown up- two big problems in the industry.

Account manager Omar Elawi says “Right now, the delivery robots are mostly controlled by young people with a history of gaming, who are comfortable navigating(定位)the streets on a street with a joystick. But we are trying to push the idea of jobs for disabled people who could work from home.

Tiny Mile sees their market as being very local food service. Even though Geoffrey can run for eight hours, it is meant to travel a little over a mile at walking speed, so that delivered food will be fresh and hot.

Some people wonder whether the delivery robots can survive if someone tries to turn them over or steal their lunch, but Elawi says this has not been a big problem. “There have been no real problems, an amazing reaction actually. A couple of kids were throwing snowballs. Many people would actually help it when it got struck in the snow.” Soon it will even have a speaker so that the driver can say thank you for the help.

Another different thing about Tiny Mile’s delivery robots is that the drivers are paid. Edward Trill says, “Unlike usual delivery robots, Geoffrey isn’t here to take away jobs, but eventually create more-with higher pay.” It will also be more environmentally friendly as it products more. A few years from now it is going to sound silly that we use a car to carry a food box.” He adds.

【1】What do we know about Geoffrey?

A．It works all by itself.

B．It weights as much as an adult.

C．It can produce delicious food.

D．It can improve delivery service.

【2】What can we learn from Omar Elawi’s words in paragraph 3?

A．They want to provide delivery service for disabled people.

B．Young people are their first choice to work with the robots.

C．They plan to involve disabled people in operating the robots.

D．Young people are more interested in robots than other groups.

【3】What’s Elawi’s attitude towards the use of robots.

A．Amazed.

B．Confident.

C．Concerned.

D．Doubtful.

【4】How is Geoffrey different from other delivery robots?

A．It won’t reduce job opportunities

B．It can say thank you to people.

C．It can travel faster than cars.

D．It won’t consume energy.

28、   There are many differences between British English and American English. I used to teach a course about the differences between the two. We speak English on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean but we have many differences in our common language. We have examples of the same words having very different meanings, differing spellings of the same words as well as completely different words for the same things. Here are some examples.

A cookie in the US is called a biscuit in the UK. A biscuit in the US is a small cake in the  UK. Crisps in the UK, are known as chips, but we British people eat a plate of chips that you call fries in the US. In the UK, a pie can be made from either meat or fruit, while in the US pies are normally made from fruit; pot pies are made from meat. Most things are measured in grams and kilograms in the US, not pounds and ounces.

One very obvious difference is the side of the road we each choose to drive on. Petrol in the UK is gas in the US. The place where we fill up our cars, in the UK, is a garage; while in the US, it’s a gas station. The term garage is also used as a place to store your car next to or close by your house. In the UK we call a lorry what is known as a truck in the US.

An elevator in the US is called a lift here, and the first floor in the US, is called the ground floor here, so many visitors get off on the wrong floor in British hotels.

I could continue with this. There are countless examples of differences within our one  shared language. With so many differences, no wonder it’s hard to understand each other well.

【1】The passage is mainly about the differences between British English and American English in____.

A.vocabulary B.grammar

C.sound D.spelling

【2】It’s implied in the passage that the author may be______.

A.a driver from the US.

B.a cook from the US.

C.a teacher from the UK.

D.a gas station worker from the UK.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.“Elevator” is commonly used in the UK.

B.Pies mean the same thing in the UK and the US.

C.In the UK, things are measured in pounds and ounces.

D.British and American people drive on the same side of the road.

29、Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person’s makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.

We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.

Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.

Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.

【1】What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?

A．It can be measured by an IQ test.

B．It helps to exercise a person’s mind.

C．It includes a set of emotional skills.

D．It refers to a person’s positive qualities.

【2】Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2?

A．To explain a rule.

B．To clarify a concept.

C．To present a fact.

D．To make a prediction.

【3】What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?

A．Favorable.

B．Intolerant.

C．Doubtful.

D．Unclear.

【4】Which statement do you think the author would probably agree with?

A．Emotional intelligence is emphasized by all the people.

B．People who are highly emotionally intelligent are honourable persons.

C．The research we do at present cannot reasonably support popular beliefs of emotional intelligence.

D．Emotional intelligence contribute a lot to the qualities like character, motivation, confidence and so on.

【5】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?

A．Its appeal to the public.

B．Expectations for future studies.

C．Its practical application.

D．Scientists with new perspectives.
