26、   Visit the grocery store on an empty stomach, and you will probably come home with a few things you had not planned to buy. But hunger is not the only culprit behind such purchases. The location of store displays also influences our shopping and may make or break some healthy eating habits.

The checkout area is a particular hotspot for junk food. Studies have found that the products most commonly found there are sugary and salty snacks-and a few studies have suggested that simply swapping in healthier options can shift customer behavior. A 2012 study in the Netherlands found that hospital workers were more likely to give up junk food for healthy snacks when the latter were more readily available on canteen shelves, for example, In 2014 Norwegain and Icelandic researcher likewise found that replacing unhealthy items with healthy ones in the checkout area significantly increased last-minutes sales of healthier foods.

These findings caught the attention of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which has been working with more than 1,000 store owners to encourage them to stock and promote consumption,” says Tamar Adjoian, a research scientist at the department. “Making healthy food more convenient or appealing can lead to increased sales of those products.”

Adjoian and her colleagues wondered if such findings would apply to their city’s dense urban checkout areas, so they recruited three Bronx supermarkets for their own study. They gave one checkout line in each store a healthy makeover, replacing candy, cookies and other processed snacks with fruit , nuts and similar items containing 200 or fewer calories per serving. Then they recorded purchases over six three-hour periods in each store for two weeks.

Of the more than 2,100 shoppers they observed, just 4 precent bought anything from the checkout area. Among those who did, however, customers in the healthy lines purchased nutritious items more than twice as often as those in the standard lines –and they bought unhealthy items 40 percent less often. The findings were reported in September in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.

The potential impact may seem small, but Adjoian believes that converting more checkout lines would open customers’ eyes to nutritious, lower-calories foods. Health department officials are now exploring ways to expand healthy options at checkout areas throughout New York City.

【1】The word “ culprit” in Para. 1 is closest in meaning to _____in the passage.

A.something to blame B.something related to culture

C.something that results D.something concealed

【2】The findings of the 2012 study and the 2014 study proved that _____.

A.shops put great emphasis on increase in last-minute sales of food.

B.healthier options were rarely seen in company canteens or in supermarket.

C.customers’ shopping behavior could be changed by what is easily available.

D.sugary and salty snacks were among the most common items in checkout areas.

【3】Why does the writer say “ the potential impact may seem small” in the last paragraph?

A.Only a little attention has been drawn to Adjoian’s research

B.Only several healthy items are displayed and then purchased.

C.Only three Bronx supermarkets have been involved in the study.

D.Only a small proportion of shoppers buy things from checkout areas.

【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A.Behavior that Matters B.Healthy See, Healthy Do

C.Changing Checkout Areas D.Shoppers and Their Needs

28、   Scientists at the University of Bonn carried out extensive research to show that the water-drops rolling off a lotus（莲花）leaf carry away dirt，leaving the surface perfectly clean. This phenomena has been named the "Lotus Effect" and works best on rough surfaces.

Contrary to popular belief，lotus leaves are not smooth at all. When examined under a powerful microscope，the leaf cells show a bumpy surface. That makes the surface rough. As a result，dirt rests only on the tips of the wax crystals（蜡晶体）covering the leaf surface. The roughness reduces the contact area between the dirt and the leaf surface. A rough surface structure with wax crystals makes it impossible for water to stick. Due to the friction（摩擦力），the water contracts at once. It forms round waterdrops to minimize the contact area with the rough，waxy leaf surface and runs off the leaf very quickly. Since the dirt only rests on the tips of the wax crystals they stick more strongly to the waterdrops than to the leaf surfaces. They are washed away when the water falls on the leaves.

On smooth leaves，the dirt is pushed from one part of the leaf to the other. This is because the dirt has a larger contact area where they can rest comfortably on the flat surface. We must also keep in mind that water usually spreads and only partially runs off the leaves-that too，only if the leaf is tilted！The dirt may get driven，but they are mainly displaced from one side of the leaf to the other.

Scientists say that the "Lotus Effect" is particularly beneficial for it helps to protect the lotus leaves from harmful bacteria. The dirt on the leaves often contains tiny disease causing fungi and bacteria. While most of the bacteria get washed off，the few that remain eventually die since they do not get the water they require for survival and growth.

【1】What is “Lotus Effect”？

A.The self-cleaning feature of lotus leaves.

B.The lotus surfaces' ability to kill harmful bacteria.

C.The dirt leaving off lotus leaves with the help of wind.

D.Lotus leaves making waterdrops from the dirt on them.

【2】What does the underlined word "bumpy" in paragraph 2 probobaly mean?

A.Flat. B.Bended.

C.Flexible. D.Rough

【3】Why are waterdrops unable to stay on lotus leaves?

A.The rough and waxy leaf surface reduces the friction.

B.The smooth leaf surface makes waterdrops roll down.

C.The contact area between drops and leaves is too large.

D.The waterdrops fall on the leaves at a too high speed.

【4】What is the benefit of “Lotus Effect” ?

A.It can help the lotus grow healthily.

B.It can protect the lotus from sunshine.

C.It can make the bacteria more and stronger.

D.It can help the lotus leaves keep the required water.

29、   The study findings about a new blood test have been published this morning in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA Cardiology). The study was conducted smoothly and effectively based on their working together with the Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB), New Zealand, and the Christchurch Heart Institute, which is run by the university of Otago, Christchurch, New Zealand.

Co-lead author, Associate Professor John Pickering of the University of Otago, says, “When a patient comes to an emergency department (ED) with symptoms that suggest a potential heart attack, present laboratory blood-testing procedures can take 1-2 hours to discover the risk level, but with this new test we can get a result in just fifteen minutes, from the bedside, or ‘point-of-care’, freeing up ED and health care staff. The patient can then either be cleared to leave, or quickly progressed to specialist care. The result proves to be true after later observation and other tests.”

Senior author, and Director of Emergency Medicine Research, Dr Martin Than of the CDHB says present point-of-care tests can lack the precision of this new method that is centered around a measurement of cardiac troponin (肌钙蛋白) in the blood. “Our results have extremely exciting potential for not only EDs, but also remote health care providers—such as those in the countryside. Given the great effect heart disease and other related conditions have on not only New Zealand society but also the international community, we have something that could benefit tens of millions of patients globally,” Dr Than says.

The analysis of this observational study, conducted from 2016 to 2017 at Christchurch Hospital’s emergency department, included about 350 patients with symptoms of a heart attack. “So far our testing has shown that close to fifty percent of patients could have the heart attack safely and precisely excluded (排除……的可能性) soon after arrival at the ED. Wider study is required to be in progress and some other study concerned across ten District Health Boards in New Zealand is planned for next year,” Dr Than says.

【1】How did the researchers get the findings?

A.By doing effective teamwork. B.By observing patients with heart disease.

C.By applying the EDs’ advanced technology. D.By receiving support from other specialists.

【2】Which of the following can best describe the new blood test?

A.Convenient and cheap. B.Quick and reliable.

C.Convenient but expensive. D.Quick but risky.

【3】What problem does the present point-of-care method face?

A.It spends too much to get medical training. B.It doesn’t have its own health care staff.

C.It can’t check patients’ blood accurately. D.It needs money to buy medical equipment.

【4】What does Dr. Than mean about the new test in the last paragraph?

A.It is being used globally. B.It can cure heart disease.

C.It’ll make progress next year. D.It needs further research.

34、Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word. For the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

My daughter

(A story told by a father, a famous actor)

My wife and I only had the one child. We had Amy.

I see her as my best friend. I think she’d always come to me first if she had a problem. We have the same sense of humor, and share interests. 【1】 I don’t mind animals, she’s completely fascinated with them, and she has always had dogs, cats, horses, and goldfish in her life.

We were 【2】 (close) when she was about four, which I think is a lovely age for a child. They know the parents best, and don’t have outside contacts. She must have grown up suddenly when she went to school, because I remember her growing away from her family slightly. Any father who has a teenager daughter comes across an extraordinary collection of people, and there seemed to be an endless stream of strange young men 【3】 (come) through our house. By the time I learned their names they 【4】 (go) away and I had to start learning a new lot.

I wanted more than anything else for her to be happy in 【5】 she was doing, and I was prepared to pull strings to help her on her way. When she left a good school she decided she wanted to become an actress so I got her into drama school. It wasn’t to her liking so she joined a theatre group and began doing bits and pieces in films. She was doing well, but then gave it up. She probably found it boring. Then she took up social work, and finally went to work 【6】a designer and he became her husband. And that’s really the story of her life. She must be happy with him—they’re always together.

We have such similar tastes in books and music 【7】 I used to take her to see an opera, which is my big passion. However, I don’t think she likes it very much. She doesn’t come with me anymore.

I don’t think she’s a big television watcher. She knows when I’m on the television, and she 【8】 watch, but I don’t know. It’s not the kind of thing she tells me.

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.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) became an early 【5】 with its Open Course Ware project, first 【6】 in 2001. Free lecture notes, exams and other resources are published at ocw.mit.edu. Many exams even include the answers. Today, Open Course Ware offers materials from 1,800 undergraduate and graduate courses. These 【7】 from Physics to Political Science. Visitors can learn the same things as MIT students learn. But as the site points out, Open Course Ware is not an MIT education. Visitors receive no credit toward a degree. Some materials from a course may not be available, and the site does not provide 【8】 with teachers. Still, MIT says that the site has had forty million visits by thirty-one million visitors from almost every country. Sixty percent of the visitors are from outside the United States and Canada. Students and educators use the site, including students at MIT. But the largest number of visitors, about half, are self-learners.

Some professors have become well-known around the world as a result of 【9】 online. Walter Lewin, a physics professor at MIT, is 【10】 popular. Fans enjoy his entertaining lectures.

37、阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Smell the flowers before you go to sleep and you may just end up with rosy dreams. Have a whiff of rotten(腐烂的)eggs during the night and your dreams may be【1】(pleasant). So says researcher Dr. Boris Stuck, 【2】invited sleeping volunteers to a rose vs. rotten egg test in the University Hospital Mannheim in Germany. The subjects didn’t dream about roses【3】eggs, but rather he found that what they smelt affected the emotions of【4】(they) dreams.

And if you think【5】(smell) have a say in dreams, wait for what TV tells us. A UK study reveals that people exposed【6】black-and-white film and TV in their youth are to have monochromic(单色的)dreams throughout their life more【7】(probable). Eva Murzyn from the University of Dundee tested two age groups— one half 【8】(age) over 55 and【9】other half under 25.

The result? Under 5% of the dreams of the under-25s were in black and white. 【10】(watch)color TV in childhood seems to be the reason why.

39、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

A new study warns that about thirty percent of the world’s people may not have enough water by the year 2025.

A private American organization called Population Action International (PAI) did the new study. It says more than 335 million people lack enough water now. The people live in 28 countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.

PAI researcher Robert Engelman says by the year 2025, about 3,000 million people may lack water. At least 18 more countries are expected to have severe water problems. The demand for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount of water on the Earth stays the same.

Mr Engelman says the population in countries that lack water is growing faster than in other parts of the world. He says population growth in these countries will continue to increase.

The report says lack of water in the future may result in several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking water is not safe. Mr Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases, such as cholera which are carried in water.

Lack of water may also result in more international conflict. Countries may have to compete for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. And the report says lack of water would affect the ability to improve their economies. This is because new industries often need large amounts of water when they are beginning.

The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem. One way, it says, is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. A third way is to use less water for agriculture. The report also says long-term solutions to the water problem must include controls on population growth.
