26、 When I was worried my son was coming down with a little something, I remarked that his eating was slowing down a bit.
“I’ve noticed how fast you eat,” my wife’s Auntie Carmel said. I looked down at my plate — the plate from which my food had just been emptied — and looked up at her scientific stare. “I’m not being critical,” she assured me, “and I find it fascinating.” She said “fascinating” the way a polite member of the FBI might describe your recent Internet searches.
“You do eat pretty fast,” whispered my wife by the time I’d placed my knives and forks down. Her mother shared the same view shortly after that, and soon the entire table were unanimous in this opinion.
We were at my wife’s parents’ home in Dublin because Auntie Carmel was visiting from New York, and it was a good chance for her to meet our son, who immediately adored her. We all adore Auntie Carmel for her ability to speak her mind in a way that never seems rude.
In fairness to Carmel, I do eat quickly. I’m fond of saying it’s because I come from a large family. I now realize this makes no sense. There is also the fact that my wife’s mum and Auntie Carmel themselves both come from a family of 12. The same is true for her dad. Yet somehow, none of them eat as if their legs were on fire.
It’s a habit I picked up along the way, and I might have been permanently blind to it without this intervention. Left unexamined, it might have coloured my parenting, demanding my speed as a default (默认) for my son, for I remarked that his eating was slowing down a bit. For now, at least, he can clear his plate as slowly as he likes.
【1】How does Auntie Carmel feel about the author’s eating habit?
A.Disturbing. B.Embarrassing.
C.Interesting. D.Puzzling.
【2】What does the underlined word “unanimous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.At a loss. B.In agreement.
C.Out of patience. D.Under consideration.
【3】What do we know about Auntie Carmel?
A.She is skilled at expressing herself.
B.She is particular about table manners.
C.She lives alone in New York.
D.She tends to criticize others.
【4】What can be learned from Paragraph 5?
A.Children in large families usually behave badly.
B.Children's eating habits are not easy to change.
C.The small family usually has strict family rules.
D.The family size isn't related to one’ s eating speed.
27、Traditional American summer camps offer young people a chance to play many sports. These camps may be in the mountains. 【1】 Some camps teach activities like painting or music. Or they teach computer programming or foreign languages. Children at all kinds of camps meet new friends.
Some children go to camp during the day and return home at night. 【2】 Children stay at an overnight camp for between one and eight weeks. Parents need to pay. Children from poor families might not have a chance to attend summer camps. The Fresh Air Fund is a well-known organization.
【3】 Each summer it sends ten thousand poor children to stay with families in the country or to five camps in New York State.
【4】 Many American women now work outside the home. Working parents need a place where their children can be cared for during the summer when they are not in school.
Young people who like the arts can learn about painting, music, acting or writing. Camps that offer programs in science and environmental studies are popular, too. There are also camps for older children who like wilderness adventure. 【5】 Or, they go rock-climbing or horse-riding.
A.What on are summer camps?
B.Others stay at camps all day and all night.
C.Or they may be in the woods, or at a lake.
D.These campers usually take long trips by bicycle.
E.Summer camps have become important to millions of families.
F.People around the country give money to support the organization.
G.They will probably never realize the significance of participating in summer camps.
28、A recent study, while showing a generally positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be "running out of control". This idea is dangerous.
Science can be a force for evil as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science. But here is a real danger. Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.
Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections, whatever is scientifically possible will be done-somewhere , sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages then from making efforts to build a safer world.
In our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. Without a common understanding, the challenges of "controlling" science in this century will be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. The outcomes are hard to predict.
Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through the untied efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can
science best serve mankind in the future.
【1】What can we conclude from the recent study?
A.People think highly of science.
B.People hold mixed opinions about science.
C.Science is getting dangerously out of control.
D.Science is used for both good and bad purposes.
【2】According to the passage, what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?
A.The development of science will hopelessly slow down.
B.Businesses will have even greater influence on science.
C.The public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future.
D.People will work more actively to put science under control.
【3】The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because _____.
A.scientists have failed to predict the outcomes
B.the ties between different areas need strengthening
C.united efforts are necessary for the development of science
D.people need to work together to prevent the bad use of science
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Science and its applications bring us many dangers.
B.The development of science mostly lies in people's attitudes.
C.Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.
D.The future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas.
29、Burns from fire or other sources of heat can be mild or life-threatening. Some burns can be treated at home, while others need emergency medical care.
