26、   Finding fish is going to get harder as climate change continues to heat the world's oceans. A new study finds that warming seas over the past 80 years have reduced the sustainable catch of 124 species of fish and shellfish. Sustainable catch refers to the amount that can be harvested without doing long-term damage to the health of populations of some species.

Overfishing has made that decline worse, researchers say. Overfishing refers to catching so many fish that the size of the population falls. In some parts of the world, such as the heavily fished Sea of Japan, the decrease is as high as 35 percent. That's a loss of more than one in every three fish.

Researchers examined changes in 235 populations of fish and shellfish between 1930 and 2010. Those fish populations spread far apart across 38 ocean regions. Temperature changes vary from one ocean site to another. But on average over that time, Earth's sea-surface temperatures have risen by about half a degree Celsius.

On average, that warming has caused the sustainable catch to drop by 4.1 percent, the study found. About 8 percent of the fish and shellfish populations the team studied saw losses as a result of the ocean warming. However, about 4 percent of some populations increased. That's because certain species have thrived in warmer waters. One example is a kind of black sea fish. It lives along the northeastern U.S. coast. As warming continues, these fish will reproduce faster until they reach their limit.

About 3.2 billion people worldwide rely on seafood as a source of food. That means it's urgent for commercial fishing fleets and regulators to consider how climate change is affecting the health of all of those fish in the sea.

【1】What does the new study discover？

A.Overfishing is to blame for fish health.

B.Warming seas cause fewer fish and shellfish.

C.Seafood matters to people's health worldwide.

D.The living regions of fish and shellfish are different.

【2】What does the underlined word "thrived" in paragraph 4 probably mean？

A.Survived narrowly. B.Disappeared soon.

C.Decreased sharply. D.Developed quickly.

【3】What do we know about species of fish and shellfish？

A.About 8 percent of them suffered from a great loss.

B.About 35 percent of them survived in the Sea of Japan.

C.About 3.2 billion species have been saved up to now.

D.About 80 species have died out because of warming seas

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the new discovery?

A.Satisfied B.Not interested

C.Worried D.Terrified

27、   When a big exam is coming up, you probably feel anxious about any wasted time and want to begin school as soon as you probably can.

But tens of thousands of British high school students will soon be getting up later. They’re taking part in a new experiment by Oxford University to see if later classes can improve their exam results.

Grades 10 students in the UK have to take the nationwide General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exams. They have to pass these exams in order to study more advanced courses, and later apply for universities.

The Oxford University project means that GCSE students from more than 100 schools across England will start school at 10 am, more than one hour later than the current start time (8:50 am).

The project is based on scientific evidence that teenagers are “out of sync(同步)” with traditional school hours, the Telegraph reported. And what they need is more sleep in the morning.

“We know that something funny happens when you’re a teenager, in that you seem to be out of sync with the world,” said professor Colin Epsie, who is leading the study. “Your parents think it’s because you are lazy and opinionated（固执己见的）and everything will be OK if you could get to sleep earlier. But science is telling us that teenagers need to sleep more in the mornings.”

Everyone follows a natural cycle of sleep and wakefulness. Biology has decided that teenagers go to sleep around midnight and don’t feel fully awake until 9-10 am, according to scientists. That’s two hours later than adults. And their body clocks stay like this until the age of around 21 for males, and 19 for females.

“Society provides school for learning, but the brain provides sleep. So we are exploring the possibility that if you delay the schools start time until 10 am, that will improve learning performance,” said Epsie.

The results could be positive, based on previous studies.

An early study at the UK’s Monkseaton High School in 2009 found that starting an hour later improved grades in core subjects by 19 percent.

The Oxford project is expecting to publish the results in 2018. It’s time to wait and see whether scientists will give us an excuse to get up late.

【1】According to the article, students who take part in the Oxford University project_______.

A.will start school one hour earlier

B.will be guaranteed more sleeping time in the morning

C.will perform better academically than those who don’t participate

D.will no longer have to take GCSE exams

【2】We can infer from the article that ________ .

A.children and adults have different natural cycles of sleep and wakefulness

B.getting up late is a sign of laziness in the eyes of most British parents

C.the Oxford University project is targeted at all British high schools

D.there is still no scientific evidence that supports a late school start time

【3】What is the author’s attitude toward the Oxford University project ?

A.Critical B.Uninterested

C.Optimistic D.Doubtful

【4】What’s the best title of the article ?

A.It’s never too late to learn B.An excuse to get up late

C.The later you get up, the better you’ll learn D.Wake up late to excel

28、4 Things that Can Help to Boost Your Immune System During the Coronavirus Outbreak

There is an exception to the general rule that supplements (补充剂) won’ t really help prevent illness, and that’ s vitamin D. Research has shown that the immune system needs vitamin D to fight off viruses-while it won’t protect you from getting the virus. It could reduce the severity of the illness and help make recovery easier. 【1】. It’s also found in some foods, including fatty fish like salmon and in small amounts in beef liver, eggs, cheese, and mushrooms.

【2】While you’ re asleep, your body uses that time to do recovery and repair of essential functions, including your immune system. Just one night of poor sleep can reduce your immune cells by as much as 70%, research shows.

Exercise can keep your body functioning well, since research shows that it reduces inflammation (炎症) and supports infection-fighting cells. 【3】 Body movements like burpees, lunges, push-ups and more can give you a quick full-body workout with no equipment.

Stress can also make a big difference for your immune system, particularly when there are alarming or uncertain events happening in the world around you. Yes, this means managing fears — good strategies include taking breaks from social media and relying on trustworthy media sources for information. 【4】

There are many ways to get relaxed. 【5】 Maybe that’s taking a walk outside, curling up with a favorite book, or taking time to reflect or practice yoga or another comforting habit each day.

A．You can get vitamin D naturally through sunlight.

B．Your first line of defense is to choose a healthy lifestyle.

C．How you choose to relax will vary from person to person.

D．Both of them can help you avoid panic and misinformation.

E．One of the free ways to stay healthy is getting enough sleep.

F．Your immune system does a remarkable job of defending you against disease.

G．If you’re staying out of the gym, there are plenty of ways to still get your sweat on.

29、   As a child, Emily Blunt had a stutter(结巴) that made it difficult for her to even say her own name. “I started noticing it at 6 or 7,” the London-born actress says. “My grandfather, my uncle and my cousin all stutter. It feels like you’ve got this pretender living in your body.” After a teacher noticed her stutter disappeared whenever she would start to play energetically, he suggested she try performing for the school play. She found that the more she lost herself in characters, the less uncomfortably nervous she felt and the less she would stutter.

Now the star aims to help kids going through the same thing by working with the American Institute for Stuttering. “They understand that how these kids relate to their stutter is usually the issue,” says Blunt. “You’ve got to fall in love with the fact that you’ve got a stutter to accept it. But it’s not all of you. Everyone’s got something－and this is just your thing.”

Blunt’s personal experience has inspired her to help girls everywhere, regardless of the trouble they may face. The A Quiet Place Part II and Jungle Cruise star also supports Malala Fund, created by Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai to break down the barriers preventing more than 130 million girls worldwide from receiving an education. “She’s the most moving, impressive person I’ve ever met,” Blunt says. “What she says is true: When women are given more power in communities, those communities develop quickly and successfully. I want to support Malala until the day I die.”

Giving back is a quality Blunt and husband John Krasinski also hope to pass on to their daughters Hazel, 6, and Violet, 3. “Empathy is highly thought of in our house,” Blunt says. “We tell them all the time, ‘Be brave, be kind.’ ”

31、

The meaning of silence varies among cultural group. Silence may be 【1】, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every 【2】 with conversation.
