25、“There’s nothing to discuss,” barked my husband when told him that Rosie, our 17-year-old daughter, had asked whether she could go to Kavos, Greece, for a holiday with her friends. “Of course she can’t. She’s too young to travel without the presence of an adult. It’s completely out of the question.”

So how come found myself standing, two weeks later, at Gatwick Airport. Tearfully, I watched our eldest child disappear through the security checkpoint. In four hours’ time, she would be in Kavos. It’s 2, 500 kilometers away from England!

There comes a time when you have to let your baby go—for many parents, it’s around the age of 17. We know that there is likely to be something wilder than hanging around by the pool and building sandcastles, but the time has come to trust that they’ll look after themselves.

But still felt worried. Rosie tried to put my mind at rest. She said she and her friends would always look after one another and that it really, really was all going to be okay.

After we had waved our last goodbye at the airport, I looked back. She was, to my surprise, looking back at me, too. Teenagers want to cut free, but it’s a frightening business for them, too.

We made Rosie promise to text as soon as she had arrived in Kavos and at least once a day after that. Around 9 a. m. on the first morning, her first message came through. It was twelve hours since I had left her at Gatwick. And all I got was: “I’m here.”

I wish there were safer places than these so-called teen destinations. But like all the dangers that life can hold for them, at some stage, all you can do is warn them, warn them again, warn them once more, and then hope that some of your messages have gotten through.

My daughter got home safely. So did her friends. But Rosie is now talking about a similar journey next year. And my alarm bells have already started ringing.

【1】We can learn from the last paragraph that the writer ________.

A．still thinks teenagers should not travel without their parents

B．believes it’s useful to warn teenagers about the dangers they might face

C．won’t allow her daughter to travel again without having an adult present

D．now encourages teenagers to learn how to safely travel without their parents

【2】After the writer and her daughter had waved goodbye to each other at the airport, ________.

A．both of them were feeling happy

B．both of them were feeling worried

C．the writer was feeling happy while her daughter was feeling worried

D．the writer was feeling worried while her daughter was feeling happy

【3】The writer didn’t receive message from her daughter until ________.

A．her daughter was about to return home

B．two days after her daughter had left her

C．her daughter had safely landed in Kavos

D．twelve hours after she had left her daughter

D．unnecessary

26、   It's no secret that laughter works wonders for us. And much research has been carried out, which shows that laughter is good for our general health and well-being. It has been found to release endorphins (释放安多芬), our bodies’ natural “feel-good” chemicals, into our blood. But as we grow older, we are more likely to find fewer things funny. A child will laugh on average 300 times a day. By the time we reach adulthood, his number is around 20. But what’s behind this? One theory suggests that it’s not a problem of losing our sense of humor but rather, as we grow older, we take things a bit more seriously.

Laughter is very much something we do with others. Studies have shown that we are 30 times more likely to find something funny when we are with others than when we are by ourselves. But to laugh with others, we do need to feel a connection to them. We need to feel comfortable in their company. That's why it can be difficult to laugh with strangers. Laughter is also very contagious and one person's laugh can spread quickly through out a group of people. But often what makes us join in is the fear of standing out and being different. We laugh, even if we don't' really get the joke, specially in groups controlled by a powerful person. When the head teacher ells a joke, for example, you laugh, even though later you might wonder if the joke was really that funny at all.

There are many different reasons why we laugh. Here are three widely accepted theories:

The Incongruity Theory: It's often the unexpected that makes us laugh. When things that we are familiar with suddenly take a turn into the unknown, our expectations are challenged and that often results in laughter.

The Superiority Theory: We often find the mistakes and misfortunes of others funny. This would explain the popularity of online videos showing pranks (恶作剧).

The Relief Theory: Laugh offers light relief. It explains why there are so many jokes about the darker things in life. By being able to laugh at them, we are able to face them more easily.

【1】According to the theory in Paragraph 1, why do we laugh less as we grow older?

A.There are fewer funny things. B.We take things more seriously.

C.Our body releases less endorphins. D.We gradually lose our sense of humor.

【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A.More funny things happen when we are with others.

B.People feel comfortable in strangers' company.

C.We laugh sometimes because of social needs.

D.Powerful people are more likely to be funny.

【3】What does the underlined word “contagious” probably mean?

A.有感染力的 B.有区别的 C.令人害怕的 D.令人舒适的

【4】Which of the following statement is TRUE?

A.Something familiar is easy to make people laugh.

B.There are only 3 theories about the reasons why we laugh.

C.Every child laughs 300 times and an adult laughs 20 times a day.

D.The Superiority Theory can explain why people love making funny videos.

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

A.The art of laughter. B.The sign of laughter.

C.The power of laughter. D.The science of laughter.

27、One day in 1903 French scientist Edouard Benedictus climbed high to get something on a high shelf in his laboratory. He carelessly hit an empty glass flask（烧瓶）and it fell to the stone floor.

Benedictus climbed down, expecting a mess, but he found a surprise. The glass hadn’t broken into a million pieces! It had cracked（破裂）, but it had held together. Benedictus wondered why.

His helper explained he had used the flask to hold liquid plastic（液态塑料）. Then he had put the flask aside and forgotten to wash it. The liquid plastic dried, so the flask looked empty. Benedictus found that the dried plastic had kept the cracked glass from falling apart.

The same week, Benedictus read a report about a car accident in the newspaper. The car was a new and exciting invention, and many people were driving fast on the roads. When accidents happened, people were often hurt by flying broken glass. Suddenly Benedictus thought of the broken flask. Could his accident be something useful?

Benedictus spent a lot of time in the lab, trying to find out the best way to make safety glass for cars. Finally, Benedictus put some liquid plastic between two pieces of glass and pressed（压）them together. When he hit it, the “glass-and-plastic sandwich” cracked, but it didn’t break into small pieces.

Benedictus succeeded. He wrote in his diary, “I produced my first piece of Triplex（the name for his invention）-full of promise（充满希望）for the future.”

Benedictus was right. His method of putting plastic between pieces of glass is still used today. And that’s how a careless accident led to an invention that made us all safer!

【1】How did Benedictus feel when he saw the cracked glass flask?

A．Angry.

B．Sorry.

C．Excited.

D．Surprised.

【2】The glass flask didn’t fall part because ________.

A．the floor was not so hard

B．the shelf was not so high

C．there was dried plastic in it

D．Benedictus’ helper caught it

【3】When did Benedictus decide to work on his invention?

A．When he read a news report.

B．When he climbed high on a shelf.

C．After his helper had a car accident.

D．After his helper gave him a suggestion.

【4】What do we know about Triplex?

A．It was invented in 1900.

B．It had plastic on its cover.

C．It got popular as soon as it was invented.

D．It had an influence on today’s safety glass.

【5】Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A．Magic of Plastic

B．Lessons from Accidents

C．A Great Accidental Invention

D．Daily Life of a French Scientist

28、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给)

There’s no place like home

Some people dream of having a home ‘just like the ones in decorating magazines’. That sort of beautifully stylish home may be n【1】, but for a truly special place to live, why not choose a home unlike any other in the neighbourhood? The unique(独一无二的) houses on these pages challenge people to reconsider what a home is s【2】 to look like.

Environmentally friendly homes are getting a lot of a【3】 these days. Earthships, for example, are unusual homes made from materials like mud, straw and reused wood. The designers of earthships combine these natural materials with recycled i【4】, such as bottles, cans and old tyres. These homes show their belief that, when it comes to saving the environment, ‘if you aren’t part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.’

Additionally many of these homes use wind or solar power. They are designed to collect and recycle water, and the people who live in them often add a greenhouse in which to grow food. As a result, if you live in an earthship, your monthly living costs will d【5】 to almost zero. For people who want to try one out, the Phoenix Earthship in the US is available as holiday accommodation(住宿).

Shipping containers are now being reused to make a【6】 type of environmentally friendly home. A number of architects have started changing individual containers into holiday homes. Alternatively they can be combined to make office blocks and blocks of flats, such as those Container City in London, England.

With all of the examples of imaginative homes, it is clear that people no longer need to settle for ordinary living spaces. One thing is sure: people living in homes that look as s【7】 as these never have to give anyone their address. They can just say, ‘Look for the weird house. You will know it when you see it.’

29、   Everyone knows that animals can sense natural disasters well before they happen. There are red ants __________ their homes before earthquakes. And there are monkeys moving to higher ground before tsunamis(海啸). Animals can predict the daily __________too. But how? Few people know. Now thanks to an ancient _________, we can get some of that wisdom.

The book says a lot of animals have the__________to predict the weather.__________them the cat appears to be the most powerful. So for those who have a cat at home, you can have a__________to see if the book is right or wrong. If you__________that your cat keeps sneezing, it's not a sign of being sick.
