26、On an autumn afternoon, a remote sheep farm in southern Greenland is quiet. The silence is abruptly broken when dozens of sheep come thundering across the hills overlooking the farm. Walking after them are Lars Nielsen and his 37-year-old son Kunuk Nielsen.

The Nielsen family has owned and run the farm since 1972. Kunuk says the summers now are longer than when he was a child and that drought has become a problem. The fields are not so green as those in the old days. He has to buy hay (草料) from European countries.

The effects of a warming climate are obvious on the land. While he intends to struggle on, his older brother Pilu has chosen a different path.

Pilu, 40, lives in Qaqortoq in the south of Greenland -- a town of about 3,000 people. Ten years ago, he got his helicopter pilot's license and is now part owner of a small company called Sermeq Helicopters. It caters to construction and telecommunication workers and an increasing number of foreign tourists.

Pilu says he loves his family's sheep farm. But he saw that warming temperatures were making remote areas of Greenland more accessible and wanted to look for other opportunities. His company's most popular tours include a visit to Greenland's glaciers.

The warming temperatures are also affecting traditional ways of life, particularly hunting. The sea ice is changing; it's becoming less so that hunting on ice becomes more difficult. When there's no sea ice, it's difficult to use dog sledges (雪橇)，and the whole culture around having dogs and dog sledges and doing traditional hunting on the ice is sort of diminishing.

Besides, many Greenlanders, like Pilu, are leaving the countryside for towns and the capital city Nuuk, where opportunities are greater. A report found that Nuuk's share of Greenland's population grew from 17.2% in 1977 to 29.2% in 2014. If there were enough houses in Nuuk, the share would even be bigger.

【1】What problem does Kunuk Nielsen's farm face?

A．Lack of workers.

B．Less food for his sheep.

C．Less space forhissheep.

D．Lack of foreign markets.

【2】How do rising temperatures affect Greenland?

A．By casting a shadow on its business.

B．By making it hard for locals to earn a living.

C．By promoting the development of its tourism.

D．By making more remote areas suitable for living.

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

A．Occurring.

B．Operating.

C．Adapting.

D．Decreasing

【4】Which of the following limits Nuuk's population growth?

A．Housing pressure.

B．Climate change.

C．Weakeconomy.

D．Poor living conditions.

27、Rain beats against the window, matching my mood. I should have known that my new job at the hospital was too good to be true. Throughout the day, rumors warned that the newest employees from each department would be laid off. I was the newest one in the training department.

My boss appeared. “You probably know we were cutting back on staff,” he said. “Administration wants us to offer outplacement classes to help those employees find other jobs, showing them how to act in an interview, for example.” “Fine,” I answered unwillingly, not knowing what else to say.

I decided to go home early that day. In the hall, I met the lady who brought us cookies very Friday. She was a little woman with gray hair. Only her head and the top of her green apron were visible over the cart (小车) loaded with cleaning supplies. At least she had a job!

At the final meeting, laid-off workers formed a line at the door. A colleague whispered, “I can’t believe our Cookie Lady is being laid off. We’ll miss her as much as we’ll miss her cookies.” When the colleague spoke to her in Spanish, I knew my classes would be useless for her.

I decided to do something for her. I wrote to a newspaper expressing how I felt about the unselfishness of the Cookie Lady who needed a job. A few days later, my article appeared in the newspaper and the Cookie Lady was allowed to stay in her position. On the same day, I received a letter, which seemed so unlikely that I read it twice. “An editor of a local magazine likes your piece and wants you to call her next time you are looking for work...”

28、Speaking two languages can actually help offset(抵消) some effects of aging on the brain, a new study has found.

Researchers tested how long it took participants to switch from one cognitive(认知的) task to another, something that’s known to take longer for older adults, said lead researcher, Brian Gold, a neuroscientist at the University of Kentucky.

Gold’s team compared task-switching speeds for younger and older adults, knowing they would find slower speeds in the older population because of previous studies. However, they found that older adults who spoke two languages were able to switch mental activities faster than those didn’t. The study only looked at life-long bilinguals, defined in study as people who had spoken a second language daily since they were at least 10 years old.

Gold and his team asked 30 people, either bilingual or monolingual, to have a series of tests. They found that bilingual people were not only able to switch tasks faster, they had different brain activity than their monolingual peers.

Kristina called bilingualism "a beautiful natural experiment”, because people grow up speaking two languages, and studies have shown that they get certain cognitive benefits from switching between languages and determining which to respond with based on what's going on around them.

Gold said he grew up in Montreal, where he spoke French at school and English at home, prompting relatives to question whether his French language immersion（专心）would somehow hinder his ability to learn English.

"Until very recently, learning a second language in childhood was thought of as dangerous," he said. "Actually, it's beneficial.”

【1】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Researchers found that bilingual people can slow down the speed or aging on the brain and respond fast.

B. Researchers found that bilingual people respond slowly.

C. Researchers found that speaking two languages is important.

D. Researchers found that bilingual people are great.

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Older bilinguals can’t respond faster in mind.

B. Young bilinguals can respond faster in mind than those monolinguals.

C. Older adults speaking a second language daily since they were at least 10 years old can respond faster than those who don't.

D. Bilingual children respond slower in mind than those monolinguals.

【3】In Gold’s opinion, learning a second language in childhood is______.

A. dangerous to children

B. not beneficial to children

C. dangerous but beneficial to children

D. not dangerous but beneficial to children

29、A company called Neuralink has shared a video which shows a monkey playing a video game. That's fairly unusual, but what makes the video even stranger is that the monkey is playing the video game with just its mind.

Neuralink owned by Elon Musk is working to develop devices that could allow People to control things using just their brains. It sounds like something from a science fiction movie, but it is already showing progress in doing similar work with other animals.

The monkey is called Pager, who has two of Neuralink's special “Link" devices inside his brain, planted by a surgeon. These devices are connected to 2,048 wires which lead to the parts of Pager's brain that control movements of the arms and hands. In the experiment, scientists taught Pager to play a video game.

Firstly, Pager controlled the video game using a joystick, which is a normal gaming controller. But as Pager played, his Link devices wirelessly sent out information about the signals his brain was using to control his arms and hands. Scientists recorded all of these signals.

Then they used computers to match up the signals from Pager's brain to the movements that his hands were actually doing. This was challenging work and the scientists counted on AI to help them decode (解码) Pager's brain signals.

The final step was to have a computer make moves in the video game as if Pager had actually moved the joystick. If Pager thought about moving the joystick up, the computer would send an “up" signal to the video game.

Even though Neuralink's work now focuses on animals and video games, there's a very serious purpose behind it. Neuralink wants to make it possible for humans who have lost the ability to control their bodies to communicate with the world. Mr. Musk says that in the near future Neauralink hopes to allow a paralyzed(瘫痪的) person to control a smartphone just by thinking, He believes they'll be able to do it faster than those who are using their hands.

【1】Why does the author mention the video in paragraph 1?

A．To advertise a well-known video game.

B．To show the unusual hobby of monkeys.

C．To give an update on the progress of a research.

D．To introduce a way to improve animals' intelligence.

【2】Which of the following is a tough step in Neuralink's experiment?

A．Getting Pager to keep pace with the Link devices.

B．Teaching Pager to play a video game with a joystick.

C．Understanding the connection between Pager's brain signals and hand movements.

D．Recording all the brain signals Pager sends to his hands.

【3】What is Mr.Musk's attitude towards the future of Neuralink's work?

A．Uncertain.

B．Doubtful.

C．Cautious.

D．Confident.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Neuralink Explores the Field of Mind-Controlling

B．Elon Musk: A Super Ambitious Businessman

C．Monkey Plays Video Games with His Hands

D．The Paralyzed Control Their Bodies by Thinking

31、根据课文内容，在空白处填入所缺的单词

Certainly, in many ways this seems to be true.
