26、William Curry is a serious climate scientist, not an art critic. But he has spent a lot of time on Emanuel Leutze’s famous painting “George Washington Crossing the Delaware,” which describes a boatload of colonial American soldiers making their way to attack English the day after Christmas in 1776. “Most people think these other guys in the boat are rowing, but they are actually pushing the ice away,” says Curry, tapping his finger on the painting. Sure enough, the lead sailor is breaking the frozen river with his boot. “I grew up in the Philadelphia. The place in this painting is 30 minutes away by car. I can tell you, this kind of thing just doesn’t happen anymore.”
But it may again soon. And ice-choked scenes may also return to Europe. The 16th-century painter Pieter’s works, including the 1565 masterpiece “Hunters in the Snow,” make the now-temperate European landscapes look more like Lapland. Such frigid settings were commonplace during a period dating roughly from 1300 to 1850 because much of North America and Europe was in the pain of a little ice age. And now there is increasing evidence that the cold could return. A growing number of scientists believe conditions are right for another lasted cooldown, or small ice age. While no one is predicting an ice sheet like the one that covered the Northern Hemisphere with glaciers about 12,000 years ago, the next cooling trend could drop average temperatures 5 degrees over much of the United States and 10 degrees in the Northeast, northern Europe, and northern Asia.
Political changes since the last ice age could make survival far more difficult for the world’s poor. During previous cooling periods, these people simply picked up and moved south, but that doesn’t work in the modem world, of closed borders. “To the extent the climate change may cause rapid and extensive changes of fortune for those who live off the land, the inability to migrate may remove one of the major safety homelands for pitiful people,” says the report.
【1】The writer uses paintings in the first paragraph to say
A. impossible future climate change.
B. climate change of the last two centuries.
C. the river doesn’t freeze in winter anymore.
D. how George Washington led his troops across the river.
【2】Which of the following do scientists believe to be possible?
A. The temperature may drop over much of the Northern Hemisphere.
B. it will be colder than 12,000 years ago.
C. The entire Northern Hemisphere will be covered in ice.
D. Europe will look more like Lapland.
【3】Why is it difficult for the poor to survive the next age?
A. People don’t live in tribes anymore.
B. Politics are changing too fast today.
C. Climate change causes people live off the land.
D. Migration has become impossible because of closed borders.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A. A New Ice Age.
B. The Effect of Ice Age.
C. Prediction about the Ice Age.
D. Political and Climate Change.

28、阅读下列短文 ,从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C、和D)中 ,选出最佳选项。
What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is time the same all over the world?
That's an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a valuable resource. Maybe that's why they are fond of the expression, "Time is money."
Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to conserve and manage it. People in the U.S. often attend seminars or read books on time management. It seems they all want to organize their time better. Professionals carry around pocket planners — some in electronic form — to keep track of appointments and deadlines. People do all they can to squeeze more time out of their time. The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed this view best: "Do you love life? Then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of."
To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people's time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology and an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation is, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time.
To outsiders, Americans seem tied to the clock. People in other cultures value relationships more than schedules. In these societies, people don't try to control time, but to experience it. Even Americans would admit that no one can master time. Time — like money — slips all too easily through our fingers. And time — like the weather — is very hard to predict. Nevertheless, time is one of life's most precious gifts. And unwrapping it is half the fun.
【1】What’s the main topic of this passage?
A. What is time? B. Time among Americans.
C. Make good use of time. D. How to control time?
【2】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “conserve”?
A. protect B. develop
C. produce D. assist
【3】The sentence "Americans seem tied to the clock" in paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A. Americans often carry a clock with them.
B. Americans can take control over time.
C. Americans often make full use of time.
D. Americans can not predict the time.
【4】We can safely draw a conclusion from this passage that _________.
A. Americans have more time than others
B. by using pocket planners, people can have more time
C. for informal meeting, Americans often arrive 30 minutes earlier
D. Americans often attend seminars, because they want to use time better
29、I don’t think there is anything more important than health. “Health is the greatest wealth,” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.
If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that, he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat with pleasure, drink with pleasure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day. A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.“ But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”
【1】The writer thinks that ________.
A.health is more important than wealth
B.work is as important as studies
C.medicine is more important than pleasure
D.nothing is more important than money
【2】The doctor usually tells his patient what to do ________.
A.without examining the patient
B.after he has examined the patient
C.if the patient doesn't take medicine
D.unless the patient feels pain
【3】The underlined part means “________”.
A.he was feeling better than ever
B.he wasn't a healthy man
C.he was feeling worse than before
D.he will be well again
【4】From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man ________ before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A.was a heavy smoker
B.didn't smoke so much
C.didn't smoke
D.began to learn to smoke
【5】Which of the following is NOT true?
A.The doctor usually tests his/her blood pressure when a person is ill.
B.The man told the doctor he couldn't remember things.
C.The man thanked the doctor.
D.The man didn't follow the doctor's advice.

There were people behind me on the line. She told me to speak with the courtesy (爱心柜台). I _________ bitterly and said, “Really? It’s _________. No one would hand that in!” But she _________ me to. “You never know...” she said.
I decided that there was no __________ in checking, so I walked up to a woman behind the counter and said, “ I have to ask, did anyone __________ cash by any chance?” She asked, “How much?” My face then ________. “$200 in the form of one hundred dollar bills.” I replied. She said, “__________, yes, some did!” I was so ____________! “ Who? I want to thank her.” She pointed to a young girl about 10 years old and said, “ She did.”
I walked over to the mom and hugged her. She said, “It wasn’t me, it was my __________.” I said, “I know, I wanted to thank you both, __________ she found it. It’s because of you that I got this back.” I was so happy. I was almost in tears.
The next day at work, a person in another department __________ me tickets to the circus. He handed me 5 tickets. Almost __________ that young girl’s face appeared in my head. After work I went back to the supermarket and stopped at the courtesy counter and asked if she had any idea who that woman was. She smiled and said, “Yes, she is a friend of mine.” Then I asked her to do me a favor and pass along these 5 tickets to her.
