26、   Cambridge Dictionary has named 'up cycling' as its Word of the Year 2019.

Upcycling was chosen as the 'Word of the Day' which resonated （共鸣）most strongly with followers on the Dictionary's Instagram account. The noun— explained as the activity of making new furniture, objects, etc. out of old or used things or waste material — received more likes than any other 'Word of the Day' when shared on 4 July 2019. The number of times upcycling has been looked up on the Cambridge Dictionary website has risen by 181% since December of 2011, when it was first added to the online dictionary, and searches have doubled in the last year alone.

"We think it's the positive idea behind upcycling that appeals more than the word itself," said Wendalyn Nichols, Publishing Manager of the Cambridge Dictionary. "Stopping the progress of climate change, let alone turning it around, can seem impossible at times. Upcycling is a specific action a single human being can take to make a difference. "  "Lookups of upcycling reflect the trend around individual actions to combat climate change—the youth activism started by Greta Thunberg； the growing trends of vegan and plant-based diets； reading and following the handbook There is No Planet B ； or fashion designers upcycling clothes to create their latest collections."

Other words on the shortlist for Word of the Year 2019 reflect the same concern with the effects of climate change, such as carbon sink （碳汇）and compostable （可降解的）.

The Cambridge Dictionary editors use data from the website, blogs, and social media to identify and rank new additions to the Dictionary. They recognized upcycling as a word to include after noticing a sharp rise in searches for the word in 2010. Cambridge University Press has been publishing dictionaries for learners of English since 1995. Cambridge Dictionary began offering these dictionaries completely free of charge online in 1999.

【1】What does the word "upcycling" refer to?

A.The activity of reusing old things or waste material.

【3】What does the underline word "combat" mean in the third paragraph?

27、   What do you usually do when you have some free time? Do you take part in any form of hobby? If your answer is no, then you should think twice. Experiencing some type of interest or hobby might be the Ideal way to develop your brain an improve your creative thinking.

Here is a common problem that many older people have. They have spent such a great deal of time raising their family that once their children are grown and left home, they all of a sudden start to experience their age. Quite often, it is not their age that is the concern. It is the fact that they are unexpected offered more time on their hands.

When you put in too much time not doing anything, this can affect your brain. This is just where the expressions “If you don’t use it, you lose it” definitely is the truth. Your mind needs working out much like any other muscle in your body. This is why getting a hobby matters. It offers you something to do and is a perfect way to meet new people.

Enjoying a hobby is also a perfect way to improve creative thinking at any age. Even young children can profit from taking a new hobby. For retired people, enjoying a hobby which they can find entertainment in with their grandchildren will help keep them active and feeling young at heart.

Several hobbies that are terrific for both your mind and your body include yoga, biking, swimming and golf. If you aren’t fond of sports, even taking a walk regularly is a wonderful way to keep active. It helps you to appreciate fresh scenery and it has been suggested that the colors green and blue help make you more creative.

As you can see above, you can get pretty much from taking a hobby. With so many choices waiting for you, begin your journey right away!

28、Some termite (白蚁) species have figured out how to enjoy the shelter of the huge complex nests that the insects build without contributing to their construction. They avoid the full anger of their builder hosts by being extremely easy-going.

Animals that live in the nests of another species without affecting them are known as inquilines. Inquiline termites are unique among termites in being unable to make their own nests. Instead, they live in the hallways built by another termite, Constrictotermes cyphergaster. Until now, it has been unclear how the two parties kept peaceful in such tight quarters because termites are typically very aggressive towards outsiders.

Helder Hugo at the University of Konstanz in Germany and his colleagues collected Constrictotermes cyphergaster’s nests in the Brazilian Cerrado and brought them into the laboratory. They then placed host and tenant (房客) termites in either open or narrow areas and used video to track and record the ways in which the two species reacted to each other.

Right from the start, the inquiline’ termites moved around less than their hosts and interacted little with them, even in the much narrower area. “Many times,” says Hugo, “when two unrelated groups are put together in a limited space—such as an experimental area—the outcome is conflict with losses from both sides.” But that didn’t happen here. Despite attacks from host termites, the tenant termites were obedient. Hosts would bite or attack the inquilines with strong chemicals, but their targets never responded in the same way, choosing to flee. Some ignored the hosts completely.

“We did not expect that they would never fight back,” says Hugo, noting that the inquilines are capable of protecting their own place with mouths. “By preventing conflict going worse, inquiline termites may considerably improve their chances of living together with their host termites peacefully.”

“Passiveness does not necessarily lead to defeat, but can be a very useful strategy, saving energy and resources,” she adds. “Nature may not always be red in tooth and claw, and aggression is not any more successful a strategy than ‘cowardice’ (儒弱).”

A．They live in another termite species’ nests.

B．They are aggressive towards outsiders.

C．They like to build their own nests.

【2】What do you learn about the experiment in paragraph 3?

B．The findings of the observation.

C．The living habits of termites.

D．The process of the research.

【3】What does Hugo think of the inquiline termites’ living strategy?

A．Aggressive.

B．Unacceptable.

C．Effective.

D．Dangerous.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A．The Characteristics of Termites

B．Passiveness Doesn’t Necessarily Lead to Defeat

C．The Relationship Between Host and Tenant Termites

D．Termites Use Cowardice to Avoid Their Hosts’ Anger

29、   Body language has always been a hot topic of interesting dinner conversations and now today it is still a hot topic. It is perhaps one of the most powerful forms of human expression or human communication!

Body language is a very important part of communication which can constitute 50% or more of what we are communicating to the other person. If you wish to communicate effectively, then it makes sense to understand how you can (and cannot) use your body to say what you mean.

Body language can be used to discover all sorts of things ,such as knowing when someone is attracted to you, finding truth and lies, showing confidence, winning respect in any situation, and you can use body language to put people at ease, make friends quickly, persuade, and influence.

So what is body language? Body language is a term used to describe the method of communication using body movements or gestures instead of sounds, verbal(口头的) language or other communication. Body language includes the most subtle(微妙的)movements that many people are not aware of, including winking(眨眼) and slight movement of the eyebrows and other facial expressions.

Body language is one of the easiest ways for you to tell what's really going on in a conversation with another person. The body language that you observe from other people will tell you whether or not those people are being straight up with you or whether there is more to the story that’s not being said. Watch, look,and observe. Sometimes you can tell more by a person’s body language than the words they speak.

【1】The underlined word “constitute” in Paragraph 2 probably means ___________.

A.make up B.take up C.turn up D.put up

【2】What’s the third paragraph mainly about?

A.What body language is. B.When people use body language.

C.Body language is very useful. D.Body language is very convenient.

30、   By the end of the 20th century, TV show producers had begun to turn to the cheapest performers available — their audience. It seemed that anyone who wanted fame could _______ it. And some people wanted it far too much.

Richard and Mayumi Heene, _______ , launched a large balloon 2,000 meters into the air and then called a TV network to say that their six-year-old son, Falcon, was inside it. Planes were re-routed and Denver International Airport was briefly _______ . However, Falcon was later found to have been hiding in the family’s garage the whole time. The “balloon boy” incident turned out to be a hoax (骗局) and the Heenes were _______ of doing it in the hope of landing their own reality TV shows. Instead, they got a fine and a short sentence each — but they were certainly _______ for a while.

So do we want fame? Research suggests that a large number of us do. According to one recent survey, 30 percent of adults regularly daydream about being famous and 40 percent of us expect to _______ some kind of fame in our lifetimes. Perhaps a better question is: should we want to be famous? Do we really want every _______ of our private lives exposed in newspapers and discussed on television? Some people, such as talent show contestant Susan Boyle, seem ill-euipped to deal with this kind of _______, despite their talent. Boyle gained international fame for her extraordinary singing voice after appearing on TV talent show Britain’s Got Talent and her first album became the fastest-selling of all time in the U.K. But the sudden fame didn’t seem easy for her at first, and after the final of the show, Boyle was _______ to a private psychiatric clinic.

Furthermore, people who achieve fame often don’t seem to like it once they have it. A survey of celebrities found that they worry about the press, critics, threatening letters, the lack of privacy, and the __________ on their children. These are hardly worries that __________ people have to deal with. They also, __________, worry about what would happen if they were no longer famous. And there are plenty of people to ask about that. Take, for example, Donato Dalrymple, a fisherman who rescued a boy from the sea and enjoyed the media spotlight for several months afterwards. When it ended, however, he __________ his job as a toilet cleaner. “I know I’m a nobody,” he said when the attention  had __________.

“When the person has to go back to everyday life, there’s a sense of __________ loss and being cheated out of something,” says Dr. Robert Cancro of the New York University School of Medicine.
