26、Most children have ever heard their parents yell“sit up straight ！”or“don＂t slouch（无精打采）！”when they eat dinner．Nowadays，it is also heard around another activity -video games. Ten-year-old Owaish admits it takes him three to four hours a day to play games on his tablet computer. In addition, he plays for about two hours on the smart phone every day. As a result, he started suffering a severe pain in the neck around June or July. What's worse, the pain has spread to the hand and back gradually, which makes his mother Mehzabin become concerned.

The doctors note the number of young children with the chronic pain（慢性痛） in their necks，arms and shoulders is on the increase sharply in recent years. They are not aging, they haven't had an accident, the blood reports are fine, their X-rays are fine. Facts have proved that the pain is from the poor posture while they are playing video games on smart phones or other electronic devices. 19-year-old student Nida feels pain in the finger which holds the weight of her smart phone most of the day. Nida almost uses her smart phone 24/7, which means 24 hours a day,seven days a week, or all the time.

Health experts predict there will be not only physical but psychological and emotional problems resulting from the overuse of electronic devices. They encourage people to often take breaks and exercise from using computers,smart phones or other devices. Stand up. Stretch the legs, back, shoulders and arms in all the possible directions. That is the most effective way and maybe the key to solving the problem completely. After all, the medication does not help sometimes.

【1】What is Mehzabin worried about?

A. Her son has no table manners

B. Her son doesn't work hard at school

C. Her son's physical problems get worse

D. Her son spends much money on video games

【2】What do we know about the chronic pain?

A. Adults don't have the problem

B. It is caused by the wrong body position

C. Using a heavy smart phone will cause it.

【3】According to health experts,_____________

A. people should stop using smart phones

B. the best treatment for the chronic pain is exercising

C. people must take medicine to cure the chronic pain

D. the chronic pain has nothing to do with ones mental health

【4】Where does the text probably come from?

A. A health report

B. A news story

C. A research plan

D. A business magazine

27、Nearly seven years ago, I hitchhiked (搭顺风车) across Canada. Frankly, it was rather boring. But it gave me some understanding of the beauty of humanity.

The difference between boredom and excitement on the road is quite obvious. For hours on end, you may be standing at the side of a highway, watching faces go by. You get all sorts of looks when you’re hitchhiking. People ignore you, smile at you, wave or use their hands to signal that they’re unable to pick you up. Often, truckers pick you up.

Once, I was dropped off in front of an elderly woman. She said her car had broken down and that her husband was on his way with a tow truck (拖车). Later, she and her husband offered to bring me back to their place for lunch. I happily agreed. Our communication became a funny event of translations. I could not figure out what her husband was saying. He spoke English, but his dialect made it almost impossible for me to understand. Every time he spoke to me, I’d have to say, “I’m sorry, what did you say?” Then his wife would step in to translate.

When I explained I was hitchhiking for fun, they were both amazed and impressed. Then, a look of understanding appeared on the woman’s face. “Oh!” she said. “You remind me of that guy, what’s his name...” She thought hard for a couple of minutes, then: “Terry Fox!”

The flow of randomness (随机) and the constant impermanence (无常) was what I enjoyed about hitchhiking. We have non-stop social interactions that are deeply authentic but so finite only in a short time. A person becomes an important part of our life for an hour or two and then he or she disappears. The beauty of strangers being so open about their lives never gets old and they paint a picture of harmony in this country.

【1】What does the author intend to show in Paragraph 2?

A．Truckers aren’t willing to pick up passers-by.

B．Waiting for a lift isn’t always a pleasant experience.

C．Hitchhikers tend to be looked down upon.

D．People gesture to hitchhikers in the same way.

【2】How was the communication between the author and the tow trucker?

A．It went smoothly.

B．It was boring.

C．It sounded silly.

D．It was difficult.

【3】What can we infer about “Terry Fox”?

A．He was a young trucker.

B．He often helped hitchhikers.

C．He hitchhiked for travelling.

D．He looked like the author.

【4】What does the underlined word “finite” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Different.

B．Independent.

C．Limited.

D．Disturbing.

28、On the side of a busy road leading into Dundee, on the east coast of Scotland, the blades (叶片) of a small wind turbine (涡轮机) move in the wind of passing cars and trucks. It is charging a battery that is below the ground. This is an invention by Sanwal Muneer, a young engineer from Pakistan.

Muneer was inspired to create the turbine as he stood on the side of a racetrack several years ago. “At first, the light wind from the cars was just a welcome relief from the heat,” he says. “Then I started to think about how we could use that energy.”

The turbine stands two-and-a-half metres tall. Made of recyclable carbon fibre, it weighs just nine kilogrammes, making it easy to transport and set up. The fully-charged battery can hold a kilowatt of electricity, enough to run two lamps and a fan for around 40 hours. The idea is that this could be a source of electricity for rural communities in developing countries, or could power traffic lights or road signs in urban areas.

Dundee City Council is the first local authority to allow Muneer’s company, Capture Mobility, to test the turbine beside its roads. “We want to help engineers create something inventive which is also beneficial to the city.” says Neil Gellatly, head of roads and transportation for Dundee City Council. Capture Mobility moved to Scotland from Pakistan in 2015. The Scottish government is investing (投资) in cleaner-energy technologies. Wind is also strong and plentiful all year round here. This made it a good location for Muneer’s company.

Production costs remain the company’s biggest challenge. The turbines must be affordable in developing countries, but achieving this will depend on commercial (商业的) scale (规模). Capture Mobility is now analysing data from the turbine. Later this year, the company plans to send the next stage of the design to the producers. “I am passionate about engineering,” Muneer says. “But engineering is only a success if it improves lives.”

【1】How does the author introduce the topic of the text?

A．By sharing opinions about turbines.

B．By offering the definition of turbines.

C．By introducing the inventor’s experience.

D．By describing the scene of a turbine at work.

【2】What can we learn about Muneer’s turbine?

A．It is fixed to the ground.

B．It turns traffic into energy.

C．It has been used to power traffic lights.

D．It is inspired by a rechargeable fan.

【3】Why did Capture Mobility move to Scotland?

A．To make full use of its wind with the Scottish government’s permission.

B．To work with its inventive engineers.

C．To help solve its energy shortage.

D．To answer its government’s invitation.

【4】What might Capture Mobility do in the future?

A．Make the turbine out of recyclable materials.

B．Invest in cleaner-energy technologies.

C．Test the turbine in Dundee.

D．Mass-produce the turbine.

29、The secrets of dreaming are always interesting psychologists. It is generally acknowledged in the field that dreams people have during this time between childhood and full adulthood, that’s around 30, are the strongest and most influential. Yet not enough is known about the repeated patterns of dreaming. Researchers are still trying to answer a basic question: How does dreaming relate to the life experiences and developmental challenges?

G. William Domhoff and Adam Schneider, at the University of California, help to answer this question by examining the lengthy dream series of two individuals, “Izzy” and “Jasmine”. Izzy provided a collection of 4, 329 dream reports from between the ages of 12 and 25, while Jasmine provided 664 dreams recorded between the ages of 14 and 25.

Large collections of dreams like these pose challenges to researchers. Until recently, the means of studying dream series was to employ a team of recorders who take the time to code each dream for a predetermined(预先确定的)number of content categories, and then compare their results. Nowadays, digital technologies enable the analysis of language usage in dreams with high speed, accuracy, and objectivity. This marks a revolutionary advance in the science of dreaming. However, it can only lead so far.

To gain more specific and detailed insights, Domhoff and Schneider tailored word strings(词串)for each dreamer, mixing elements of traditional research with digital tools for analyzing large data sets. For Izzy these word strings included “family and relatives”, “celebrities” and “fantasy”, while the word strings they created for Jasmine included “familiar places,” electrical equipment” and “music”. The researchers used these word strings to identify connections between their dreams and real lives. Surprisingly, the results of the analysis revealed a great deal of consistency(一致性)and continuity in both sets of dreams. Izzy pays much attention to pop culture, and has affection for famous actors. Jasmine is an accomplished musician and performer.

“The frequencies of dream elements show the intensity(强度)of the dreamer’s personal concern with that element in waking thought,” Domhoff and Schneider conclude. For anyone who still claims dreaming is merely random nonsense from the brain and mental world, these findings are hard to explain away.

【1】What do psychologists agree with about dreams?

A．Dreams are influenced by life experiences.

B．Dreaming is never nonsense from the brain.

C．Dreams in one’s teens and twenties are strongest.

D．The patterns of dreaming are usually repeated.

【2】What does “it” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．The collection of dreams.

B．Research into dreaming.

C．The digital method.

D．The challenge for psychologists.

【3】How do the researchers conduct their study?

A．By analyzing large data sets.

B．By developing individualized word strings.

C．By identifying the patterns of dreaming.

D．By making comparison with traditional research.

【4】Which can be the best title for the text?

A．New tech, new finding

B．Dreams: reflections of waking reality

C．Lives, languages, dreams

D．Life experiences: elements of mental world
