26、Researchers in the United Kingdom are testing to see whether vitamin A can be used to restore the sense of smell in people who lost it because of COVID-19.

A loss of the sense of smell is a common side-effect of COVID-19, with around eight people in 10 who have a symptomatic infection experiencing some reduction in their ability to smell. For some patients—round 18 percent according to one study—the symptom is severe, causing total smell loss.

Prior to the pandemic , researchers at the Interdisciplinary Center for Smell and Taste in Dresden, Germany, established a link between vitamin A drops and improved outcomes in patients with viral-induced smell loss, causing scientists at the University of East Anglia to use the treatment on COVID-19 patients in a new UK government-funded study.

"Around one in 10 people who experience smell loss as a result of COVID-19 report that their sense of smell has not returned to normal four weeks after falling ill," said Carl Philpott, a professor of olfactology at the university.

Philpott said people with smell loss can experience depression, anxiety, feelings of isolation（孤立）, and weight loss due to reduced appetite. He said other risks include failure to notice hazards（危险）, such as gas or spoiled foods.

"We want to find out whether there is an increase in the size and activity of damaged smell pathways in patients' brains when they are treated with vitamin A nasal（鼻的）drops," said Philpott. "This would show recovery of the damage caused by common viral infections, including COVID-19, in the nose."

In the new study, 38 patients will receive a 12-week course of nasal vitamin A drops and 19 will receive inactive peanut oil drops. Before and after the treatment course, researchers will use MRI scanning to see if there is a change in the size of the olfactory bulb, an area above the nose where the smell nerves join together and connect to the brain. They will also test for neural activity and olfactory performance by introducing distinctive odors, such as roses or rotting eggs, while patients are undergoing MRI imaging.

【1】What inspires researchers to use vitamin A to treat COVID-19 patients?

A．A reliable experiment.

B．Patients' personal experience.

C．Previous medical research.

D．Scientists' reasonable assumption.

【2】What may NOT be the result of the smell loss?

A．Reduced appetite.

B．Failure to sense danger.

C．Feelings of being lonely.

D．Slow recovery from infections.

【3】How did the researchers carry out their study?

A．By interviewing the patients.

B．By analyzing some data.

C．By observing the symptoms.

D．By doing contrast experiments.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．The effective ways to restore the sense of smell.

B．Using vitamin A to treat smell loss linked with COVID-19.

C．COVID-19 patients' sufferings from severe smell loss.

D．Some cases that will cause a loss of the sense of smell.

29、The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety.

That didn't stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.

Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up -- how to catch wild elephants.

Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old fife. "Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase," she says.

But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun. "My work," she says, "is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man." And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.

The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. "Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans," she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!

【1】For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to             .

A. get long lasting excitement   B. keep both man and elephants safe

C. send them back to the jungle   D. make the angry elephants tame

【2】Before Parbati studied in a boarding school,             .

A. she spent her time hunting with her father

B. she learned how to sing love songs

C. she had already been called an elephant princess

D. she was taught how to hunt tigers

【3】Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because________ .

A. they are caught and sent for heavy work

B. illegal hunters capture them and kill them

C. they are attacked and their land gets limited

D. dogs often bark at them and chase them

【4】The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India______　 .

A. people easily fall victim to elephants' attacks

B. the man-elephant relationship is getting worse

C. elephant tamers are in short supply

D. dogs are as powerful as elephants

【5】The underlined word “captured” in the last paragraph probably means “__________”.

A. found   B. caught

C. attacked   D. chased

One day, a man in a nice suit who seemed to have a respectable job went into a restaurant after the busy work in the evening, with a little tiredness on his face. “What a busy day!” he said to himself in a low voice. He sat down at a table and ordered a big pizza at once in order to eat some food quickly and then go home.

After a little while, another man who looked homeless with worn-out clothes came into the restaurant and sat near the nice suit man with a smile on his face. The nice suit man didn’t give back a smile with respect, and nor did he cast a glance at the homeless man.

Ten minutes later, the pizza arrived and was put in the middle of the table. The nice suit man couldn’t wait to eat it, so he grabbed (吃) it without hesitation because of hunger. A few seconds later, the homeless man took a piece of the pizza and chewed (咀嚼) it slowly with a happy smile on his face. “I won’t be angry about this, because he is a homeless person. It won’t really matter if he doesn’t continue to eat my second piece of pizza,” the nice suit man thought.

Then the homeless man took the second piece and third piece during the next ten minutes with a very satisfied smile. The nice suit guy finally got angry and shouted, “Why don’t you order one by yourself? Why can’t you stop eating my pizza?” At the same time, the waiter came and held a pizza to the nice suit man, saying, “Sir, this one is yours and that one just now was this gentleman’s.” The nice suit man felt a little embarrassed and said to the homeless man, “Why didn’t you tell me the one just now was yours? I am sorry to have shouted at you.” The homeless man was still calm and in peace with a kind voice, “Because you looked hungry and I like to share my food with you.” The nice suit man felt ashamed and he decided to give his whole one to the homeless man.

Para. 1: But the homeless man said, “No, please don’t give it to me; share it with me please.”

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Para. 2: The next day, the nice suit man was on his way to visit the homeless man.
