26、 A good training partner can be a great asset(有用的人)to your training but if you get stuck with a bad one,it could lead you down the road to frustration. 【1】Here are a few things to look out for: Dependable. Choose someone who you are sure will show up for every scheduled workout or who will call you if they can't make it. It is a drain(消耗) on your valuable energy especially before training to have to constantly remind your partner.
Attitude. Get a partner with a positive attitude. This is very important. If they constantly say that something impossible or that they can't or you can't do something,you may end up believing them. 【2】
Open mind. Get a partner with an open mind. Someone who has to do things his or her way all the time,will not listen to you and will not change his or her mind isn't a good partner. 【3】The leader should take into account the needs and feelings of the other partner not totally ignoring them.
Spotting. Get someone you feel comfortable with spotting you. One of the main roles of a training partner is spotting and if you don't trust them,there's not much point in having them around to help.
【4】If you are a beginner,try to find someone who knows what they are doing. You will get more out of your training than if you train with another beginner.
While there are a number of advantages of having training partner,there are also advantages of working alone. 【5】
A.Training level.
B.Similar strength levels.
C.Be selective when choosing a training partner.
D.Find someone with a similar training goal as you.
E.In every partnership,one person will tend to be the leader.
F.Do not train with someone who is satisfied with no improvement.
G.In the end,it is really up to you whether or not you need a training partner.
27、 For centuries, humans have wondered whether there is life on Mars. Scientists have asked why Mars is losing its atmosphere. Last week, the question was answered with a song. “The answer is blowing in the wind,” said Michael Meyer, taking a line from a Bob Dylan song. Meyer is the lead scientist for NASA’s Mars Exploration Program. It turns out that solar winds from the sun are slowly blowing away Mars’ atmosphere.
Today, Mars has a thin atmosphere. It is cold and dry, with a desert-like environment. Jakosky says it used to be much more different. “When we look at ancient Mars, we see a different type of surface. One that had valleys looked like they were carved by water, lakes that were standing for a long period of time. We see an environment that was much more able to support liquid water.”
Recently they found a kind of liquid water that flows with salt down a mountain area of the planet. But it is not always there. Scientist Michael Meyer describes what they found: “We’re seeing water, with the salt that’s able to flow down the sides of the cliff. Why is this important? That means there is water on Mars, on the surface of Mars today.”
Scientists already knew that ice exists on Mars. So why is it important to find liquid water? Meyer explains: “It means that we have a resource. And when we're looking at sending humans to Mars, water is one of the key things that we need to have, not only for astronauts to drink, but also to make oxygen, to make fuel.”
Sending humans to Mars is still in the distant future. NASA is aiming for the 2030s. Both US government and private industries are developing rockets and spacecraft to get people to Mars.
【1】Why is the atmosphere of Mars disappearing?
A.Because Mars doesn't have water to keep the atmosphere.
B.Because the atmosphere is affected by the earth.
C.Because the atmosphere is blown away by the solar wind.
D.Because Mars has no condition to make the atmosphere exist.
【2】Which of the following are the functions of the water on Mars?
①Taking shower. ②Drinking for astronauts. ③Making fuel.
④Watering plants. ⑤Producing oxygen. ⑥Washing clothes.
A.②④⑤ B.①③④⑤ C.②③④⑥ D.②③⑤
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A.Whether water exists on Mars or not isn’t important to humans.
B.Mars’ atmosphere has changed a lot since it existed.
C.We can successfully send humans to Mars from now on.
D.Water can not appear on Mars because of its thin atmosphere.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A.Mars Has Conditions to Support Humans
B.Mars Is Strongly Influenced by the Solar Wind
C.Mars and Its Thin Atmosphere
D.Water Does Exist on Mars

29、 Before you throw your trash into the nearest can, think for a moment. Not all your garbage can be dumped into one trashcan. It needs to be sorted out with different things going into different bins. Waste classification, a practice that has long been normal in developed countries like Japan, is the new challenge for many Chinese urban residents. However, though initially you might need to rack your brains to figure out which trash goes into which can, in the long run, the result is well worth the effort.
Landfills, sites where waste is buried and covered over with soil, are a major method of disposing of residential waste in China. However, considering the environmental disaster associated with burying waste, there is a pressing need to reduce the amount of waste that goes into a landfill. Classification, sorting waste into different categories such as harmful waste, recyclables and kitchen waste, is a key solution.
Currently, 46 cities across China, are carrying out a program that aims to put in place a classification-based garbage disposal system by the end of 2020. It is hoped that this will reduce the quantity of waste that ends up in landfills by a large degree. Shanghai came into the media focus in early July after it carried out compulsory garbage sorting rules that those who fail to dispose of garbage properly should be fined. Beijing is reviewing its regulations to follow in Shanghai’s footsteps. The new rules may cause short-term inconvenience but they are meant to help residents follow the concept of garbage classification for the common good.
As the programs show, residents can gradually develop this habit with their growing consciousness and the help of advanced technology. In future, this practice should be adopted across China, in urban cities and rural areas alike. With public involvement, China’s garbage sorting program will contribute not only to the nation’s sustainable (可持续的) development but also to making the planet a better place to live in.
【1】What is the most probable reason for classifying waste?
A.No site for burying waste. B.People’s habit.
C.Economic cost. D.Environmental pollution.
【2】What is the purpose of the program?
A.To practise waste classification. B.To protect environment.
C.To save oil for farming. D.To reduce the quantity of waste.
【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A program adopted across China B.Shanghai carried out new disposal rules
C.Doing the best with waste D.Protecting environment is necessary

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
The elementary means of communicating with other people is conveying messages by voice. This fact is widely acknowledged and we recognize the voice as a(n) 【1】 characterizing the identity of a person. The array of voices is immeasurable as no two are exactly similar. They can be nasal, resonant or shrill produced in accordance with the individual physical【2】 of the throat.
One possible implementation of the 【3】 of voice recognition is voice profiling used by police analysts as a method of substantiating court evidence in trials. Every year, thousands of audiotapes with recorded interviews or 【4】 utterances are put to the purpose to help identify the probable 【5】. Specialists dealing with the voice investigation claim that people can give themselves away by their 【6】, inflections or other voice attributes like pitch, intensity and loudness. A recorded sample is usually 【7】 into electric impulses and later transformed into a pictorial recoding which is processed by a computer program. Very frequently voice analyst have a stake at deciphering the relevant information which may be 【8】 with background noise or other interfering sounds until they attain the 【9】 results.
Thankfully, these efforts help the police detect individuals who threaten their victims by phone or inform about bomb 【10】 or those who make offensive calls disturbing the peach of decent citizens.
