27、   The national movement to get rid of plastic bags is gaining steam — with more than 240 cities and counties passing laws that ban or tax them since 2007 in the US. But these bans may be hurting the environment more than helping it.

University of Sydney economist Rebecca Taylor and colleagues compared bag use in cities with bans with those without them. For six months, they spent weekends in grocery stores recording the types of bags people carried out.

Taylor found these bag bans did what they were supposed to: People in the cities with the bans used fewer plastic bags, which led to about 40 million fewer pounds of plastic garbage per year. But people who used to reuse their shopping bags for other purposes, like picking up dog waste, still needed bags. "What I found was that sales of garbage bags actually grew sharply after plastic grocery bags were banned," she says.

Garbage bags are thick and use more plastic than typical shopping bags. "So about 30 percent of the plastic that was reduced by the ban comes back in the form of thicker garbage bags," Taylor says. On top of that, cities that banned plastic bags saw a surge in the use of paper bags, which she estimates（估计）resulted in about 80 million pounds of extra paper garbage per year.

A bunch of studies find that paper bags are actually worse for the environment. They require cutting down and processing trees, which involves lots of water, toxic chemicals and fuel. While paper is biodegradable(可生物降解的) and avoids some of the problems of plastic, Taylor says, the huge increase of paper means banning plastic shopping bags increases greenhouse gas emissions(排放).

The Danish government recently did a study that took into account environmental impacts（影响）beyond simply greenhouse gas emissions, including water use, damage to ecosystems and air pollution. These factors make cloth bags even worse. They estimate you would have to use an organic cotton bag 20,000 times more than a plastic grocery bag to make using it better for the environment.

【1】What is main idea of the passage?

A.Banning plastic bags is gaining popularity worldwide.

B.Banning plastic has great influence on people’s life.

C.Banning plastic increases the use of pager and cloth bags.

D.Banning plastic may harm rather than help the environment.

【2】What is the result of banning grocery plastic bags?

A.Plastic bags are no longer needed.

B.People began to reuse their plastic bags.

C.The amount of garbage is even greater.

D.Most of the reduced plastic returns in garbage bags.

【3】Why are paper and cloth bags worse for the environment?

A.They are not as biodegradable as plastic bags.

B.It hurts the environment more to make them.

C.They can’t be reused as many times as plastic bags.

D.They are much thicker than plastic bags.

【4】What does the underlined word in the fourth paragraph mean?

A.Sharp increase. B.Fast development.

C.Tight control. D.Sharp decrease.

28、   Valentina Tereshkova was the first woman to go into space. In 1963,she spent almost three days in space. That was her only trip into space.

Tereshkova was born on March 6, 1937, in Maslennikovo, a village northeast of Moscow. Her parents worked on a farm, and her father was killed during World War II. Tereshkova left school when she was 16 and worked at a factory. Tereshkova joined the factory's Young Communist League and soon advanced to the Communist Party. She became interested in parachute（降落伞）jumping after joining the Yaroslavl Air Sports Club.

After Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space in 1961, Tereshkova volunteered for the Soviet space program. Although she did not have any experience as a pilot, she was accepted into the program because of her 126 parachute jumps. At the time, astronauts had to jump from their spacecrafts seconds before they hit the ground on returning to Earth.

Along with four other women, Tereshkova received 18 months of training, which included tests to determine how she would react to long periods of time being alone, to extreme gravity conditions and to zero-gravity conditions. Of the five women, only Tereshkova went into space. Tereshkova stayed more than 70 hours in space and made 48 orbits（轨道）of Earth. Soviet and European TV viewers saw her smiling face and her books floating in front of her.

But they did not realize that the flight almost turned into a tragedy. An error in the spacecraft caused the ship to move away from the Earth, according to the RT news channel. Tereshkova noticed this and Soviet scientists quickly developed a new landing plan. Tereshkova landed safely but received an injury on her face in the end. She landed near today's Kazakhstan-Mongolia-China border. Villagers helped Tereshkova out of her spacesuit and asked her to join them for dinner. She accepted, and was later punished for breaking the rules and not having medical tests first.

However, Tereshkova was honored with the title Hero of the Soviet Union. She received the Order of Lenin and the Gold Star Medal. Tereshkova later became a test pilot and never flew in space again.

【1】We can infer that the purpose of the 18 months of training is to __________.

A.prepare pilots for tests

B.improve physical conditions

C.develop pilots' interest in space exploration

D.get used to the space environment in advance

【2】What does the underlined word "tragedy" in paragraph 5 refer to?

A.A funny joke. B.A great success.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Scientists have proved what students have long suspected: Maths equations can actually trigger physical pain.

Regions of the brain linked with the experience of physical 【1】 were activated in those fearful of maths when they were presented with a tough equation, researchers have found. The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 【2】 activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.

However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 【3】 event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 【4】 the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.

“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their paper titled. When Math Hurts. “【5】, this relation was not seen during math performance, 【6】 that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 【7】 math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 【8】 paths. We provide the first neural 【9】 indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.

Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 【10】 or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.”
