26、 A shark that walks in water instead of swimming might sound like a creature straight out of science fiction. However, that is precisely how the fish -- found in the waters of Northern Australia moves across the seafloor .The unique ocean animals were discovered by a team of scientists led by Dr. Christine Dudgeon from Australia's University of Queensland during a 12 year global conservation study.
The newly-found sharks have evolved (进化) to survive in low oxygen environments, enabling them to hunt during low tides. The researchers believe their ability to use their fins (鳍) to walk affords the sharks a remarkable edge over the smaller animals they try to bunt. “While they are super hunters in their shallow habitat, the tiny sharks present no threat to people," says Dudgeon.“At less than a meter long on average, they're incredibly cute little animals that do not look like sharks at all," she adds.
A DNA analysis of skin samples from the live fish suggests that walking sharks broke away from their original population and became a distinct species about nine million years ago. Though that may appear to be a long time ago, it is relatively recent given that sharks have been around for more than 400 million years. In fact, Dudgeon and her team believe walking sharks are the youngest kind of sharks on Earth!
The researchers say that the sharks' small numbers and small habitat make them extremely vulnerable (易受伤害) to natural disasters and overfishing. They are currently on the Nature Red List, which lists species at risk. Dudgeon and her team believe sensible conservation management plans are urgently needed to protect the walking sharks and other endangered animals from further threats.

C．Changing the sharks' living environments.
D．Adopting necessary measures to protect the sharks.
【4】In which part of a website can we read the text?

27、 Coronaviruses(冠状病毒) are a large group of viruses. They consist of a core of genetic material(遗传物质) surrounded by an envelope with protein spikes(蛋白棘突). This gives it the appearance of a crown. Crown in Latin is called “corona” and that’s how these viruses get their name. In this text, we’ll take a quick look at what’s currently known about the virus.
Covid-2019
The 2019 Novel Coronavirus, first reported December in Wuhan, central China’s Hubei Province, has quickly spread across the country and around the world. It initially occurred in a group of people with pneumonia(肺炎) who’d been associated with a seafood and live animal market in the city of Wuhan.
Intermediate hosts: The Covid-2019 may originate in bats, a team led by renowned Chinese virologist Shi Zhengli said earlier, while the intermediary host remains unknown.
Incubation period(潜伏期): usually 1-14 days.
Infection: Virus may spread before symptoms show.
SARS-CoV
The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) coronavirus was first identified in China in 2003 .
Intermediate hosts: Bats are the original host. Civet cats serve as an important intermediary that carries virus from the winged mammal to humans.
Incubation period: 2-7 days.
Infection: Virus spread after symptoms show.
MERS-CoV
The Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS中东呼吸综合征) coronavirus was first identified in Saudi Arabia in 2012.
Intermediate hosts: MERS-CoV was travelled from dromedary camel to humans.
Incubation period: 2-14 days.
Infection: Virus may spread before symptoms show.
【1】What might be the intermediate hosts of the Covid-2019?
A.Bats. B.Mosquitoes C.Camel. D.Unknown yet.

【3】What can we learn about coronaviruses ?
A.Bats are to blame for the outbreak of all the three coronaviruses.
B.The Covid-2019, SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV are all listed as coronaviruses.
C.Mers-Cov were first identified in China.
D.SARS-Cov has a longer incubation period than Mers-cov.
28、A new report has concluded that advertising managers are becoming increasingly interested in children. Studies show that children influence about 50 percent of things that families buy, so they’re an attractive target for advertisers.
John Taylor, the author of the report, says:“Advertisers can reach their target in many ways. They can, for example, show an ad many times during school holidays, they can make the TV advertisements a little louder than the programmes to attract attention, or they can sponsor programmes and show their advertisements just before the programme begins.”
Most advertisements aimed at children are short, imaginative and often in the form of animated cartoons(动画片).“Children love the ads and watch them in the same way as any entertainment programmer,”Taylor says.
There’re concerns about advertising aimed at young people. The concerns are shared by Sarah Durham, a writer and journalist specializing in media analysis. “The most worrying thing is that children don’t think carefully when they see television advertisements. They’re less critical than adults and don’t usually realise the advertisement has a persuasive message, to encourage them or their parents to spend as much money as possible on the product or service,”she says.
There’re also concerns over the vast sums of money that junk food producers spend on advertising to persuade children to buy their food products. Many advertisements, argues Durham, sell food that is a lot higher in fat, salt and sugar than healthier alternatives. “Many companies target children with offers of free toys, models of cartoon characters and gimmicky（耍花招的）packaging.”
Government approaches to controlling advertising to children vary. In Sweden, one of the strictest countries where advertising is concerned, TV advertising to children under the age of 12 is banned. Greece bans television advertisements for children’s toys between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. Denmark and the Netherlands also have legal controls whereas France, Britain and Germany prefer self-regulation（自动调节）．
Some countries are not as certain as the Swedes that advertising to children is harmful. The French argue that children need to see many advertisements so that they can develop their ability to think as they grow up. The belief is that advertising will help children to be more aware of its persuasive power.
【1】What does John Taylor mainly talk about in Paragraph 2?
A．Ways in which advertisers reach children.
B．The time children spend watching television.
C．Examples of successful advertising to children.
D．The serious problems of advertising to children.
【2】Why is Sarah Durham concerned about advertising aimed at children?
A．TV ads limit children’s imagination.
B．TV ads affect children’s brain development.
C．Children lack the good sense to make decisions.
D．Children may spend lots of time watching television.
【3】What does Durham say about the food advertised?
A．It’s tasty.
B．It’s cheap.
C．It’s unhealthy.
D．It’s readymade.
【4】What is the French’s attitude toward advertising to children?
A．Doubtful.
B．Relaxed.
C．Objective.
D．Unfavorable.
29、 Earthworms (蚯蚓) often lay on sidewalks or streets after a heavy spring rain, but why do they do this? Researchers give several reasons why heavy rain storms bring earthworms out of their soil homes.
For years scientists seemed to think the only reason earthworms came to the soil surface after a good rain was to prevent drowning in their water-filled homes. “This is not true as earthworms breathe through their skins and actually require wet in the soil to do so,” said Dr. Chris Lowe, lecturer in the University of Central Lancashire in Preston, United Kingdom. Earthworms are unable to drown, and they can even survive several days fully in water.
Soil experts now think earthworms surface during rain storms for the purpose of moving to another place. “It gives them a chance to move greater distances across the soil surface than through soil,” said Dr. Lowe. “They cannot do this when it is dry because of their requirements of wet in the air. "Certain earthworms surface to mate (交配), but only a few of the 4, 400 existing types, making it unlikely that mating is a primary reason for widespread surfacing.
Another explanation is that rain drop vibrations (振动) on the soil surface are similar to mole (鼹鼠) vibrations. Earthworms often come to the surface to escape them. “Rain can set up vibrations on top of the soil like mole vibrations,” said Professor Josef Gorres of the University of Vermont’s Department of Plant and Soil Science. “Similar to how earthworms move upwards when mole vibrations are felt.” Similarly, humans create vibrations when catching earthworms. To cheat earthworms out of their homes, fishermen run a piece of steel or a saw across the top of a stick, which causes a sound as the stick vibrates. Earthworms then move to the surface, much to the fishermen’s delight.
【1】What do we know about earthworms from Paragraph 2?
A. They will drown in water. B. They can’t breathe in the rain.
C. They breathe through skins. D. They can always live in water.
【2】Why do earthworms surface when it rains according to Dr. Lowe?
A. Because they want to travel longer.
B. Because there is more water inside.
C. Because there are more suitable mates.
D. Because there are fewer dangers on the ground.
【3】Why does the author mention the fishermen in the last paragraph?
A. To show that they treat earthworms badly.
B. To provide evidence of earthworms escaping.
C. To explain why we seldom see earthworms now.
D. To show how people's behavior affects earthworms.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Why earthworms surface after rain. B. All knowledge about earthworms.
C. How earthworms help people. D. Why people love earthworms.

Chinese medical expert have warned that antibiotics （抗生素）are “ 【1】 overused” in hospitals, which may cause serious side-effects for the health of an entire generation.
According to the ministry, 70 percent of Chinese inpatients have received antibiotics, while the maximum number set by the World Health Organization is 30 percent. About 97 percent of 【2】 patients used antibiotics but research showed that a large number of them could avoid the need if hospitals conducted proper sanitation（公共卫生）measures.
Particularly, antibiotics are overused in the 【3】 of children. Nearly one third of the daily 10,000 outpatients at the Beijing children’s Hospital take intravenous drips（静脉输液）that largely contain antibiotics.
“Some doctors might lack proper training on how to 【4】antibiotics in a more precise way and avoid 【5】risks. Some simply want to play it safe,” said Zhu Zhenggang, president of Shanghai-based Ruijin Hospital.
The ministry 【6】 a nationwide campaign over the past six months to 【7】 the use of antibiotics. Vice Health Minister Ma Xiaowei admitted that the government faces great challenges as many public hospitals have 【8】 supervision on prescription（处方）safety under heavy pressure from patients.
Insiders also noted that the overuse of antibiotics was partly 【9】by profit-seeking pharmacy （制药）firms.
About 60 percent of the newly 【10】 medicines by the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) last year were antibiotics. According to the SFDA, the country reported 690,000 cases of adverse drug reactions caused by abuse of medicine, including 600 deaths in 2010.
32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious all over the world. For example, cars have made the air unhealthy for people to breathe and poisonous gas is given off by factories. Trees on the hills have been cut down and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers. Furthermore, wherever we go today, we can find rubbish carelessly disposed(处理)．
There are different kinds of pollutants, each of which comes from different sources. It is necessary to identify the source of pollution, in order to make a policy to get rid of them. Different products, processes and activities of our industrialized world together form the major source of pollution.
The forms of pollution can be mainly divided into three kinds—solids，liquid and gas. These pollutants have greatly damaged our planet and continue to do so. In fact，pollution is threatening our existence. The whole ecological balance of the earth is changing. Massive destruction of environment has brought about negative effects and even posed a great threat to man’s existence.
We must face the situation that exists and take action to solve our environmental problems. For instance, new laws must be passed to place strict control over industrial pollution; the public must receive the education about the danger of pollution and raise their awareness of protecting the environment and so on.
The earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it for ourselves and our later generations. Fortunately, more and more people have realized these problems. Measures have been taken to deal with these situations by the government. And laws have been passed to stop pollution, I hope the problems will be solved in the near future and our home will become better and better.
