26、   Modern agriculture and its ability to feed billions of people may be one of humanity’s greatest achievements. However, it comes with hidden costs. For example, have you ever considered how much water is needed to provide you with a steak or a salad? It may surprise you.

In a recent study published in the journal Nutrients, scientists from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), took a close look at the diets of 9,341 adult Australians – specifically, their “water-scarcity (缺少) footprints”.

The water-scarcity footprint is a widely recognized measurement of water consumption（消耗）. First, it counts the liters of water you used. Then, it looks at the place where the water was used. Using a liter of water in the desert is not the same as using a liter of water in a tropical (热带的) rainforest. The more scarce water is in your area, the larger your water-scarcity footprint.

The scientists found that the average Australian’s diet had a water-scarcity footprint of 362 liters per day. Snacks and beverages – cookies, cakes, sodas and alcohol – accounted for 25 percent of the water-scarcity footprint. The research also included a glass of wine (41 liters), a single serving of potato chips (23 liters), and a small bar of milk chocolate (21 liters). Not surprisingly, cutting out snacks would be the NO.1 priority if you wanted to lower your own water-scarcity footprint.

Climate change is causing droughts and extreme weather. In 2018, Cape Town, South Africa, nearly ran out of water due to a drought. Its freshwater reservoir(水库) stayed at just above 13.5 percent of full capacity. By 2030, a world of about 8.6 billion people will need 35 percent more water, and 50 percent more food, according to the United States National Intelligence Council.

So, we need to watch what we eat, not just for our personal health but for the health of our societies.

【1】What do we know about water-scarcity footprints?

A．They are not related to places where we live.

B．They measure how much water one consumes.

C．They count the amount of water a family wastes.

D．They are used to measure water scarcity in the desert.

【2】What could be done first to lower your water scarcity footprint?

A．Stop eating snacks.

B．Go on a diet.

C．Drink less sodas and alcohol.

D．Eat more cookies or cakes.

【3】Why is Cape Town mentioned in Paragraph 5?

A．To praise the efforts made by Cape Town.

B．To explain the reasons for water shortages.

C．To stress the serious situation in Cape Town.

D．To show the harmful effects of climate change.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A．It’s easy to feed all the people in the future.

B．We are facing a greater shortage of water than of food.

C．Water shortages may bring about many social problems.

D．Our eating habits could make a difference to water shortages.

27、Thousands of people are killed every year in natural disasters. Search-and-rescue teams often rely on technology to conduct rescue missions and help those who have been affected. Over the years, online tools and applications have been developed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of disaster aid and relief. Here are some widely used ones.

Micromappers

Micromappers was launched in 2013 and used in the 2015 Nepal earthquake, Typhoon Hayian in 2013 and several other disasters. The application creates a map from social media relief updates and sends it to aid organizations so that they get real-time information about disaster- stricken areas. It helps aid agencies to effectively plan rescue efforts before going into disaster zones. During the 2015 Nepal earthquake, Micromappers processed more than 60,000 images.

Google Finder

Google Finder is another new piece of technology which can help with disaster relief efforts. It was developed in 2010 in response to the Haiti earthquake. It is an open source web application, which is available in over 40 languages. The application allows users to post and search for the status of people affected by a disaster. During the 2015 Nepal earthquake, well over 7,500 records on the online tool were searched.

Red Cross Emergency

The Red Cross Emergency App has been incredibly helpful with disaster relief in the recent times. It gives survivors weather updates and safety tips. The Red Cross credits the application for saving several lives in the United States.

【1】Why are the online tools and applications developed?

A．To provide warning signs of disasters.

B．To aid disaster rescue and relief work.

C．To create new methods of disaster relief.

D．To analyze the causes of natural disasters.

【2】What kind of information can be got from Micromappers?

A．Real-time images.

B．Geographical maps.

C．Effective rescue plans.

D．social media comments.

【3】What do the first two applications have in common?

A．They are free of charge.

B．They come in multiple languages.

C．They are designed for earthquakes.

D．They present information from netizens.

28、The baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert（警觉）. Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝视）starts to lose its focus--until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?

  Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise（同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.

【1】The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby’s .

A. sense of hearing   B. sense of sight

C. sense of touch   D. sense of smell

【2】Babies are sensitive to the change in _______.

A. the size of cards   B. the colour of pictures

C. the shape of patterns   D. the number of objects

【3】Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?

A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.

B. To see how babies recognize sounds.

C. To carry their experiment further.

D. To keep the babes interest.

【4】Where does this text probably come from?

A. Science fiction.   B. Children’s literature.

C. An advertisement.   D. A science report.

29、Based on some studies, people in their forties, on average, laugh less often each day than children under age 7 and adults over age 65. That's kind of sad for middle-aged men. If it's been awhile since your father has let out a good belly laugh, here are some ideas that you can do to get your father back on the road to joy.

A joke book can be helpful. The Dilbert series by Scott Adams is quite funny if you're into office humor. The Far Side series by Gary Larson came out twenty years ago, but it still works even for today's people. In fact, you don't even have to buy a book. You can go online and find comic strips, lists of jokes and so on.

On DVD, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon or however you get them, you can find funny movies and shows that can make a difference in your life. Teen movies are particularly funny when done well. Mean Girls, 10 Things I Hate About You and She's All That are bound to bring a smile to your father's face. Screwball comedies might be your father's cup of tea. Some comedies from the 1930s, 40s and 50s have stood the test of time and are still amusing. Also, there are a number of channels where people can watch comedians in high spirits.

If your father already has close friends to exchange jokes with, it's to his great advantage. But your father can also seek out new friends who have a lighter, cheerier and more mirthful way to life.

People are often in humorous situations at work, at home and in life, but to what degree do we take note of them? You can encourage your father to note humorous situations all around him. If he begins to notice this, soon enough, he begins to actively seek them. Before he knows it, his search for a humor-filled life becomes a significant part of his day.

【1】What do the Dilbert series and The Far Side series have in common?

A．They're in the form of short stories.

B．They have many jokes about office life.

C．They can bring much laughter to people.

D．They became popular soon after publication.

【2】The underlined word “mirthful” in Paragraph 4 means__________________.

A．colorful

B．joyful

C．puzzling

D．regular

【3】What's implied in the last paragraph?

A．Humorous situations can be easily ignored.

B．Humorous situations can be created actively.

C．People should spend time with positive people.

D．People should learn to discover the humorous moments.
