26、   Brazil is the greatest football nation in the world. There are 170 million Brazilians. How many of them are football fans? 100 million! All of them think that they know all about football. This makes life very difficult for the Brazilian team managers. When things go bad for the Brazilian team, the newspapers would demand that the team manager should leave his job. “If we win, they put me in heaven,” a manager once said. “If we lose, they put me in hell (地狱).”

You can’t escape football in Brazil. There are football matches on every street and beach. On television, the results of football matches come before the main news programs. There are six television channels (频道) in Rio de Janeiro. On Sundays each channel shows a different football match.

Brazil is not the richest country in the world, but the government spends lots of money on football. It cost more than one billion pounds to prepare for the 1978 World Cup. That’s 10 pounds for every Brazilian man, woman, and child. And many Brazilians don’t earn as much as 10 pounds a week. Is it worth it?

“Brazil must have a great football team,” says one journalist. “If it costs one billion pounds, that’s all right. If the government doesn’t give us a good team, then it will become unpopular. Football is more than a game in Brazil.”

Football is more than a game in Brazil. This is certainly true in its largest city, San Paulo. The most popular team is Corinthians. Corinthians’ fans are the most loyal and emotional in Brazil. When Corinthians win, production in the Sao Paulo car factories increases by fifteen per cent. When they lose, it drops. At one time Corinthians won the national championship for the first time. For four days fans danced and sang in the streets.

Why are people so loyal to one football team? What makes a football fan? One man says, “Without Corinthians my life would be sad. Corinthians bring some joy and excitement into my life. We all need that, don’t we?”

【1】In paragraph 1, what the manager said means _______.

A.he is respected by newspapers B.he will probably be killed by fans

C.he is judged on his team’s results D.it’s difficult for him to get good scores

【2】All the following statements about the Brazilians and football are true EXCEPT _______.

A.all the Brazilians know all about football

B.football has an influence on politics(政治) in Brazil

C.the Brazilians spend a lot of money on football

D.Corinthians’ fans are always supporting their team

【3】Some people danced and sang in the streets for four days in Sao Paulo because _______.

A.production in the Sao Paulo car factories increased

B.Corinthians won a national football championship

C.Corinthians won the World Cup

D.the newspapers put a team manager in heaven

27、   

I used to think ants knew what they were doing. The ones marching across my kitchen counter looked so confident; I just figured they had a plan, knew where they were going and what needed to be done. How else could ants organize highways, build elaborate nests, launch impressive attacks, and do all the other things ants do?

Turns out I was wrong. Ants aren’t clever little engineers, architects, or soldiersafter all --- at least not as individuals. When it comes to deciding what to do next, most ants don’t have a clue. “If you watch an ant try to accomplish something, you’ll be impressed by how awkward it is,” says Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University.

“Ants aren’t smart,” Gordon says. “Ant colonies are.” A colony can solve problems unthinkable for individual ants, such as finding the shortest path to the best food source, assigning workers to different tasks, or defending a territory from neighbors. As individuals, ants might be tiny dummies, but as colonies they respond quickly and effectively to their environment. They do it with something called collective intelligence.

Where this intelligence comes from raises an essential question in nature: How do the simple actions of individual ants add up to the complex behavior of a group? How do hundreds of honey-bees make a critical decision about their hive (蜂巢)if many of them disagree? The collective abilities of such animals --- one of which grasps the big picture, but each of which contributes to the group’s success --- seem miraculous even to the biologists who know them best. Yet during the past few decades, researchers have come up with fascinating insights.

【1】The author’s former false impression about ants is that he thought them to be _______.

A．smart

B．awkward

C．elaborate

D．creative

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Ants will function as a single body once a decision is made by the commander.

B．Ants are the only species which developed collective intelligence.

C．The ant queen plays a role in managing ant workers besides laying eggs.

D．An individual ant can’t comprehend the whole process of a big movement.

【3】The paragraph following the passage will most probably deal with _______.

A．where we can observe such fantastic behavior of ants

B．which is the leading ant in charge of the action

C．how the collective intelligence works

D．what inspiration can be drawn from the collective abilities

28、   It is widely believed that smiling means a person is happy, and it usually occurs when they're meeting another person or a group of people. However, a new study led by the body language expert Dr. Harry Witchel shows this isn't always the case.

In his research, he asked 44 participants aged 18-35 to play a geography quiz game consisting of nine difficult questions so that they often got the answer wrong. Participants seated interacted with a computer alone in a room while their faces were video recorded.

After the quiz, the participants were asked to rate their experience using a range of 12 emotions including “bored”, “interested” and “frustrated”. Meanwhile, their facial expressions were then computer analysed frame by frame in order to judge how much they were smiling based on a scale of between 0 to 1.

Dr Witchel said: “According to some researchers, a real smile reflects the inner state of cheerfulness or amusement. However, behavioral ecology theory suggests that all smiles are tools used in social interactions, meaning cheerfulness is neither necessary nor rich for smiling. Our study showed that in these human-computer interaction experiments, smiling isn't driven by happiness; it is associated with subjective involvement(主观参与),which acts like a social fuel for smiling, even when socializing with a computer on your own.”

Surprisingly, participants didn't tend to smile during the period when they were trying to figure out the answers. However, they did smile right after the computer game informed them if their answer was correct or wrong. Participants smiled more often when they got the answer wrong. Dr. Witchel added: “During these computerized quizzes, smiling was greatly increased just after answering questions incorrectly. This behavior could be explained by self-ratings of engagement, rather than by ratings of happiness or frustration.”

【1】Why did Dr Witchel use difficult questions in the quiz game?

A.To make it hard for participants to answer them correctly.

B.To make the answer period last as long as possible.

C.To discover the most intelligent participants.

D.To create a stressful situation for participants deliberately.

【2】What can we infer from idea of Behavioral Ecology Theory?

A.Other researchers' opinion of a real smile is quite right.

B.Smiles aren't necessarily useful tools in social interactions.

C.It is not associated with subjective engagement.

D.Smiling is usually connected with social activities.

【3】What do we know about the text?

A.Participants were asked to interact with each other in the quiz.

B.Participants in the quiz smiled less often when they got the answer wrong.

C.In Dr Witchel's opinion, smiling is connected with subjective involvement.

D.Dr Witchel thinks that a real smile reflects the inner state of cheerfulness.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.What Contributes to Real Happiness? B.How to Identify Whether a Person Is Really Happy?

C.Smiling Doesn't Necessarily Mean Happiness D.People Generally Hold a Wrong View on Happiness

29、   Traveling with kids is 90 percent reminding yourself to live in the moment and 10 percent making up your mind to never again leave your house.

I have an uncanny ability to forget this as soon as we return home from a trip and I've finished washing piles of dirty clothes in our luggage and cleaning all the messy caused by the kids. Extremely tired and annoyed, I would actually begin to miss the place we just left!

Family travel is like childbirth, I suppose. Painful, loud, messy, sort of awful, actually, but also wonderful. And you remember only the wonderful—until you’re back on a plane and your kids are fighting over who gets the aisle seat. Then you remember the bad stuff.

Last weekend, my kids and I flew to Texas for a trip we would have nothing to complain(抱怨) about—big hotel, wonderful view.

And yet—we found things to complain about. The pool was bigger in that other hotel! Why do you get to shower first? They call this coffee?! Luckily, I’ve learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor (盔甲) on as soon as we land somewhere, and it forces complaints to bounce off me and land in a pile at my feet.

For three days, genuine fun was had and annoying complaints were heard and ignored. Until it was time to catch a plane and fly home.

Unfortunately, our flight was canceled. We spent hours finding a hotel room. We hit the hotel pool before bed and swam well into the night, my kids making up songs and laughing so hard at their silly lyrics (歌词) and their crazy good fortune to be swimming at 10: 30 on a school night.

And that was when it hit me that family travel is all those things I said before but it’s also a lot more. It’s taking your kids to parts of the world that will open their eyes and finding that actually, yours need opening too. It’s remembering that joy and memories are where you make them, not where you find them.

【1】The underlined word “uncanny” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to   .

A.unknown. B.uncertain.

C.unexpected. D.unusual.

【2】According to the passage, family travel is like childbirth in that   .

A.they both cause financial trouble and pain.

B.they are both hard as well as rewarding.

C.childhood memories come flooding back when they travel.

D.both of them need many preparations.

【3】By saying “I’ve learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor on” in Paragraph 5, the author means that_ .

A.she tries to deal with the complaints more wisely and properly.

B.she turns those annoying complaints into a means to educate kids.

C.she has improved her language skills when handling the complaints.

D.she has succeeded in escaping kids’ fighting thanks to the armor.

【4】From the author’s experience in the passage, we can NOT learn that   .

A.family vacation benefits her kids as well as her.

B.joy and memories should be created rather than discovered.

C.the most unforgettable memory for her is about the complaints.

D.she has to spend some time on housework after the family vacation.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

NASA is on a journey to Mars, with a goal of sending humans to the Red Planet in the 2030s. That journey is already well under way.

For decades, the agency and its partners have sent orbiters, landers and rovers（探测器）, 【1】 increasing our knowledge about the Red Planet and paving the way for future human explorers. The Curiosity rover has gathered radiation data to help us protect future astronauts, and the upcoming Mars 2020 rover will study the 【2】 of Martian resources, including oxygen.

Building on the robotic legacy（遗产）, the human exploration of Mars crosses three thresholds（门槛）, each with 【3】 challenges as humans move farther from Earth: Earth Reliant, the Proving Ground, and Earth Independent.

Earth Reliant explorations is 【4】 on research aboard the International Space Station. The orbiting microgravity laboratory serves as a world - class test bed for the technologies and communications systems needed for human missions to deep space. Astronauts are learning about what it takes to live and work in space for long periods of time, improving our understanding of how the body changes in space and how to protect astronauts' health.

Next, we move into the Proving Ground, 【5】 a series of missions near the moon called “cislunar space” to test the capabilities we will need to live and work at Mars. Astronauts on the space station are only hours away from Earth, but the proving ground is days away, a(n) 【6】 stepping stone to a Mars mission, which will be months away from home.

Also in the 2020s, we’ll send astronauts on a year-long mission into this deep space proving ground, confirming habitation and testing our 【7】 for Mars.

Finally, we become Earth Independent, building on the knowledge 【8】 on the space station and in deep space to send humans to low-Mars orbit in the early 2030s.

This phase will also test the entry, descent（降落）and landing techniques needed to get to the Martin surface and study what's needed for in-situ resource utilization or "living off the land". NASA is already studying the 【9】 "Exploration Zones" on Mars that would offer compelling science research and provide resources our astronauts can use.

There are challenges to 【10】 Mars, but we know they are solvable. We are well on our way to getting there, landing there, and living there.
