26、Should you eat to live or live to eat?...a question posed by French playwright Moliere in his work The Miser. While eating is functional, and our bodies need the fuel that food provides, dining with friends or loved ones can be a wonderful experience. 【1】 But is dining alone really that bad? Maybe not.
We all have foods we like and dislike. Maybe it's a pungent (刺鼻的) cheese or smelly fish. 【2】 When dining alone, we can consume whatever we like, with the added benefits that we might be able to eat more healthily.
【3】 If dining alone, you can make the choice depending on your desires at that moment and get your nourishment at exactly the time you're hungry! And why does it have to be a restaurant? You could eat in a park, garden or even your bed—the point is, the choice is yours! 【4】 According to psychologist Sherrie Bourg Carter, a bit of staying alone can help your brain to relax and may help you concentrate more.
For those of us who suffer from misophonia, a hatred of sound, the noise of someone else chewing can be unbearable. Eating alone can save you from the extreme anxiety that can avoid listening to the sounds in others' mouths! So, is eating alone bad? Well, it may not be for everyone, but there certainly are some benefits to it. 【5】
A.We end up ordering the same.
B.Try it sometime—you might just like it!
C.That alone time also means it's a time to switch of.
D.Generally, for some, dining with friends can be a necessity.
E.We sometimes hold back on things that may offend the noses of others.
F.However, some of us often find ourselves reserving a table for one in a restaurant.
G.Have you ever spent too long debating which restaurant to eat in or when to meet?
27、Life is difficult.
But life is no longer difficult once we truly understand and accept it.
Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that their difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.
What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is painful. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.
Yet, it is in this whole of solving problems that life has its meaning.
Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit we encourage the human ability to solve problems just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurts, instruct.” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.
【1】From the passage, it can be inferred that ______.
A. not everybody has problems
B. we become stronger by facing and solving the problems in life
C. life is difficult because our problems bring us pain
D. people like to complain about their problems
【2】The writer uses just one short sentence in the first paragraph probably to ______.
A. save space B. persuade readers
C. make readers laugh D. get readers’ attention
【3】According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to ______.
A. encourage them to learn
B. make them suffer
C. help them learn to deal with pain
D. help them understand life is difficult
【4】“Those things that hurt, instruct.” From Benjamin Franklin suggests that ______.
A. we do not learn from experience
B. we do not learn when we are in pain
C. pain teaches us important lessons
D. pain cannot be forgotten
28、An artist in Oakland, California is using his skills to help the homeless. Greg Kloehn builds very small shelters that make life on the streets a little more comfortable. The structures offer the homeless some safety and protection from bad weather. Each little house also has wheels on the bottom so it can go wherever its owner goes.
Greg Kloehn has given away at least 20 tiny houses. Several are on the roadside near an active railroad. On a recent day, Mr. Kloehn stops at one to visit Oscar Young. The two men hug. Inside his little shelter Mr. Young gets relief from cold nights on the streets. Mr. Kloehn also visits Sweet-Pea, another friend who also lives in one of the little homes the artist built. She says it keeps her safe and protects her belongings.
In the mornings, Mr. Kloehn searches the streets for building materials. He gathers what he can and takes it to his studio. There, he puts the houses together. Empty coffee bags become roof material. A washing machine door and refrigerator part become windows. Nails, screws and the sticky glue hold all the pieces together. The artist also attaches a small electrical device to the house. The device is powered by the sun.
Some of the people living on the streets once had normal houses of their own. But some of the people say they have learned to live with less and they are thankful to that man.
Mr. Kloehn says his work is not a social project. He says he is just someone using his skills to help his homeless neighbors.
【1】The following are the advantages of the small shelters except_______.
A. saving power and energy
B. decorating the streets where they are
C. protecting possessions of the homeless
D. keeping the homeless safe and comfortable
【2】We can learn from the passage that_______.
A. Greg Kloehn has sold at least 20 tiny houses.
B. The government has taken part in the action.
C. The shelters Greg Kloehn builds can not be moved.
D. An act of kindness has made people comfortable and grateful.
【3】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. An artist creates homes for the homeless.
B. A more comfortable shelter is built on the streets.
C. A successful social project is conducted in Oakland.
D. An artist makes a living by designing small shelters.
29、 The number of birds in North America has declined by almost 3 billion since 1970, according to a study published in Science. The researchers estimated changes in the populations of 529 species using long-term bird-monitoring databases. Those data showed that the number of individual birds across all of those species had decreased by 29 percent, from around 10 billion in 1970 to just over 7 billion in 2017.
“The data they used provide probably the best long-term, large information on species abundances for any group of animals or plants anywhere in the world,” Natalie Wright, a bird biologist tells The Atlantic. “There’s always uncertainty, but if they are wrong, they are likely underestimating the size of population declines.”
The team also examined 10 years’ worth of data from a network of 143 weather radars, which pick up bird migrations, and found a reduction in migratory biomass of about 14 percent since 2007. “Two completely different and independent monitoring techniques thus signal major population loss across the continent,” the authors wrote in their paper.
The results are particularly concerning because many of the species showing declines are not considered rare or in danger, but are almost everywhere and potentially act as important contributors to food webs and ecosystem function. More than 90 percent of the loss in abundance in the survey data was due to declines in 12 families, including sparrows and blackbirds. Some other species, including many ducks, instead showed increases in abundance—possibly as a result of focused conservation efforts in recent years.
The findings should be a wake-up call. Many of the birds studied spend time in multiple countries within and beyond North America. What our birds need now is a historic, global effort that unites people and organizations with one common goal: bringing our birds back.
【1】How does the first paragraph show the bird reduction?
A.By comparing figures. B.By listing some examples.
C.By using experts’ words. D.By doing experiments.
【2】What can we infer about the function of the data according to Natalie Wright?
A.It’s wrong. B.It’s formal. C.It’s helpful. D.It’s useless.
【3】Which of the following is particularly worrying?
A.The focus of conservation efforts has turned out wrong.
B.Some ducks are likely to lose their ecosystem function.
C.Few species across the continent show the increase.
D.The population of widespread species is declining.
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To point out the importance of raising birds.
B.To call on people to work together to bring birds back.
C.To analyze the concerning results of long-term research.
D.To inform people of the dangers many species are facing.
