26、   To read more, when a self-help book caught Ashley Jost’s eye at a bookstore, Jost, a 27-year-old college teacher, bought the book, Girl, Stop Apologizing, and began reading it when she got home. She was one chapter in when she discovered it was holding a secret.

Jost was sitting on the couch and the dog started barking at God-knows-what. She tossed(抛) the book down to ease after the dog and five dollars fell out on the floor. Surprised, she began turning page after page. That's when she noticed a bright pink note with a handwritten message.

Jost planned to do at least one kind thing every week. And she’s no one people continue to reach out to her via Twitter to share stories of their own acts of kindness.

Afterwards, once a day for a week, she hid notes and Starbucks gift cards in coffee shops, restaurants, and libraries. She even inspired her dad to buy groceries for the person behind him in line at a Walmart.

27、   Smoking is harmful. But as soon as you quit the habit, everything will be OK, right? Wrong.

New research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes will stay there for a much longer time. In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers. Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed－a number that is one-third of known human genes.

According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.

When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years.

This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years, It’s almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥)－it will always be there, even when you’ve walked away and when the cement becomes dry.

Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.

【1】The purpose of Paragraph 1 is to______ .

A.raise a question B.give an example

C.make an argument D.show the main idea of the passage

【2】Most genetic changes happen because of______ .

A.people’s condition at birth B.environmental pollution

C.heart disease and cancer D.people’s bad living habit

【3】The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to______ .

A.the footprint B.the cement

C.the harmful effect D.the genetic change

【4】Which of the following statements is true?

A.The findings are the fruit of more than three years’ research.

B.The findings have prevented more people from starting smoking

C.The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself.

D.The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking.

28、   Picture a young Chinese woman in a field, dressed in traditional hemp (麻布) clothing, as she picks flowers to create makeup for her cheeks. Imagine the same person making a bamboo sofa, cooking soy sauce and cooking up all sorts of delicious dishes.

It may sound hard to believe, but such a person exists in modern China, and her name is Li Ziqi. On Dec 14, she won Person of the Year in the category of cultural influence awarded by China Newsweek.

With a fan base of more than 21 million people on Sina Weibo and 7 million flowers on video-sharing site YouTube, Li has made a name for herself in a series of videos that show off a pre-industrial Chinese way of life in rural Sichuan province. “I want to do my part to let more people know about Chinese culture,” the bogger told China.org.cn. “Much of the popularity of my videos owes to the attraction of Chinese culture.”

Li sems to be a master of all kinds of sills—cooking, painting, designing and farming. She raises silkworms to sew a quilt for her grandmother and grows plants. Many videos show her picking seasonal ingredients from her own garden and cooking them up with her wood-fired work. A warm bowl of soup for the winter, a lighter plate of noodles for the summer, Li follows the seasons in her cooking, as China’s traditional 24 solar terms also do, and makes food suitable for the particular climate.

“She told the stories of China’s culture and that of China.” the official Sina Weibo account of China Central Television noted. The success of Li Ziqi also comes from her “passion for life, for her home and for her culture”. Indeed, Li’s simple pleasures amaze people living in the hustle and bustle of big cities. “She leads a life that many dream of, but don’t dare to give up their current life in exchange for,” iFeng.com wrote. Her handmade lifestyle is a fantasy for many. “In today’s society, many feel stressed,” she told the South China Morning Post. “When they watch my videos at the end of a busy day, I want them to relax and experience something nice, to take away some of their anxiety and stress.”

【1】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.Li Ziqi enjoys 7 million followers on Twitter.

B.Li Ziqi won Person of the Year awarded by Chinese government.

C.Li makes suitable food to follow the changes of climate.

D.Li’s video can’t bring pleasures to people in big cities.

【2】What makes Li’s video so successful at home and abroad?

A.Her love for Chinese culture B.Her confidence for Chinese culture

C.The attraction of her videos D.Her excellent ability of making handicrafts

【3】What does the underlined words “hustle and bustle” in Paragraph 5 mean?

32、概要写作

The journey to the moon has been the first step toward future exploration(探险) in space. The distance between the moon and the earth is very short indeed when compared with the distances between the earth and the other planets. Mars, one of the nearest planets to the earth, is millions of miles away. Travelling to the planets will be man’s next aim. Such travels will be more challenging than the trip to the moon and certainly more adventurous.

Recently, two American spaceships, Vikings 1 and 2 landed on Mars trying to discover whether there is any life on the planet. So far the signs of life on Mars has neither confirmed nor ruled out.(排除)

Russians have discovered that the surface of Venus（金星）is so hot that it is almost certain that there is no life there. Also the atmosphere of Venus is extremely dense and the pressure is nearly a hundred times greater than that of the earth’s atmosphere.

Scientists believe man may find planets which have the same conditions as those we have on the earth, but man should realize the earth will be his only home for a long time and begin to love and care about it.
