26、One October evening, I had gotten home from work about an hour earlier. As I often did after a long day, I went straight to my backyard and did some work in my flower garden before making dinner for my husband and myself. I had only just walked a few steps when I suddenly felt a horrifying blow to the right side of my neck. It felt as though someone had hit me with a baseball bat. I knew that no one was in the yard with me, so no one could have hit me. Totally confused, I reached up and, to my shock and horror, realized that I had been shot—with an arrow.

I grabbed the arrow which had hit my neck and ran inside, calling my husband's name. Ed was in the house talking to our daughter on the phone. He dropped the phone and ran to me. Ed grabbed me and told me to lie down on the couch. Then he went to call 911. I lay there and prayed. I didn't know if there was any way that I could survive. The arrow had come from a young man practicing with a bow, used for hunting, in his backyard.

I was being taken to the hospital to remove the arrow. The next morning after two hours’ operation, the doctor came in. He told me something that rocked the world. He said that the CT scan had found that I had a brain tumor, but it was located in a very difficult place, which would have resulted in a serious stroke. The brain operation was successful, and in less than a week I was back home.

【1】What was Ed doing when the accident happened?

A．He was taking a walk.

B．He was on the phone with their daughter.

C．He was practicing using arrows.

D．He was working in the garden.

【2】What does the underlined part “rock the world” mean in Paragraph 3?

A．move wildly from side to side.

B．cause problems to someone.

C．make people feel shocked.

D．have a positive influence on someone.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A．The brain tumor was discovered by chance.

B．The author worked in the flower garden every day.

C．The arrow hit the brain tumor directly.

D．A young man practiced shooting in the author’s backyard.

【4】What's the main idea of the passage?

A．No man is wise at all times.

B．Hobbies come from practice.

C．Health is valuable only when you are ill.

D．Fortune and misfortune are next-door neighbours.

27、Press your fingers into the back of your head, just above your neck. If you feel a small bony bump (突起), you may find evidence of human evolution: it could be your body responding to common smartphone use in the 21st century.

According to a recent study, published in Scientific Reports, young people increasingly have bony bumps at the base of their skulls, right above the neck, Medical professionals call them enlarged external occipital protuberances. (EEOPs, 枕外隆突)

Australian health scientist David Shahar, author of the study, told the BBC that over the past 10 years he’s seen more and more patients with EEOPs. Together with other researchers from the University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia, they examined 1200 skull X-rays from people aged 18-30. They also measured the bumps and noted each person’s posture (坐立姿势).

They found that one in four people had developed these growths. This led to their theory that smartphones are the cause.

According to their research, looking down at our phones adds stress onto the top of our spines (脊柱). To prevent damage to our spines, Shahar believes our bodies add fresh bony bump to help reduce the extra stress.

In his report, Shahar said the results showed the need for intervention. In other words, we need to change our posture while using our phones.

Apart from EEOPs, other noticeable recent changes in human bodies include smaller jaws, narrower elbows and generally smaller bones. The human body is adapting to modern life, so who knows what people in the future might look like?

【1】What did the recent study find about EEOPs?

A．They grow on one’s neck.

B．They may stop growing when you reach 30.

C．They could lead to many health problems.

D．They increasingly occur among young people.

【2】What is the main cause of EEOPs?

A．Gene problems.

B．Aging bone layers.

C．Cellphone use.

D．Spine injury.

【3】Which of the following would Shahar probably agree with?

A．EEOPs increase the stress on our spines.

B．EEOPs are actually helpful to our spines.

C．Young people’s bones adapt in similar ways.

D．Young people should exercise to improve their posture.

【4】What’s the main purpose of the text?

A．To persuade readers to protect their spines.

B．To recommend some healthy habits of using phones.

C．To explain why human bodies develop EEOPs.

D．To show some recent changes in human bodies.

Can dogs and cats get along well in the same home? People who are thinking about getting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is likely that the two pets will get along smoothly. In two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship.

However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression(侵略，好斗) and fighting were found in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body languages are just different. For example, when a cat turns its head away it means aggression, while a dog doing the same means submission(顺从).

In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers found a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is surprising that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat”.

What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to become smarter. They can learn to read each other’s body languages, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was expected. Once familiar with each other’s body language, cats and dogs can play together, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.

The importance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets — to people who don’t get along well, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even countries. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.

【1】The underlined word smoothly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.

A. early     B. mostly

C. quickly     D. well

【2】What is found surprising about cats and dogs?

A. They eat and sleep together.

B. They watch each other’s behaviors.

C. They learn to speak each other’s language.

D. They know something from each other’s voices.

【3】It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________.

A. have common interests

B. have appeared to become smarter.

C. have a common body language

D. are not so smart as was expected

【4】What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?

A. We should learn to get along well with others

B.We should know more about animals.

C. We should live in peace with animals.

D. We should learn more body languages.

29、How to be a more responsible person?

Responsibility doesn’t come at birth. It is something that is acquired as you age, go to school and progress in life. However, you can hear and see a lot of different things, both good and bad. 【1】 That’s why your sense of responsibility depends only on you. All of it depends on your own decision. Here are a few tips on how to improve your sense of responsibility.

【2】 If you make a mistake, admit it. Instead of making excuses, give the true reason why you failed. By coming up with an excuse, you actually admit to being irresponsible.

Stop complaining. Complainers are usually those who talk too much and do nothing. By always complaining about the world around you, you actually fill yourself with negativity. 【3】 Therefore, stop complaining!

Overcome postponement. The first step to success is to stop putting things off. Postponement will lead you nowhere. You’re responsible for your own future, so stop delaying now and start taking action on what truly matters. 【4】

Be consistent and stick to your schedule. Having a routine is good. 【5】 Try to wake up at the same time every day. Even on weekends, you could get up earlier instead of staying in bed until noon. This will give you some consistency. Plus, getting up early allows you to have more time for whatever you have to finish that day. Additionally, you should set a schedule for your work and personal tasks, and stick to it.

A．Actions speak louder than words.

B．Stop making excuses for yourself.

C．By being negative, you are suffering terribly.

D．You choose your own behavior, actions and words.

E．It means order and means you are on the right track.

F．The hours you wasted could have been used for better things.

G．Even though you never complain, you are obviously exhausted.
