26、g.23（8分）Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit，which most people always ignore. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting wit

27、h your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure，because the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart, and crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. Certainly, you wont feel any immediate effects,

28、 but you shouldnt have your legs crossed for more than 15 minutes.Crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain. When you sit with your legs crossed, your hips are in a twisted position. Not only does it cause one of your pelvic bones to rotate but also adds pressure on your lower and middl

29、e back and neck. So ideally its best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip width apart, on the floor.Moreover, your feet and legs might get painful or have the feeling of being asleep when you cross your legs for long periods of time. Since the veins and nerves are pressed, it can ca

30、use numbness and/or temporary paralysis in the legs, ankles, or feet. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of

31、 your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.1、Which problem wont sitting with your legs crossed cause?AIncreased blood pressure BNeck and back painCNumbness DCurving legs2、How soon can we benefit from sitting with both

33、oxes. These super bats have invaded one of Australias most famous public spaces. Officials have said the animals are destroying trees and have to move on.These unwanted guests at Sydneys Royal Botanic Gardens look like tiny foxes with wings. Officials have estimated there are about 11,000 of them li

34、ving in the picturesque harbor-side park. After inspecting damage to dozens of trees they now believe there are twice as many as previously thought. Branches have been breaking under the weight of these furry invaders and their droppings have been poisoning plants.Help may well be at hand, however,

35、in the shape of the ordinary garbage bin. The gardens director Dr. Tim Entwistle hopes the unpleasant sounds of crashing bin lids will agitate the flying foxes and force them to move on. “The way to disturb them is to use noises, so weve used the loud noises made by rubbish bins in the past. You can

36、 also use speakers as long as you move the noise around, and what well do is have a series of noises, at the beginning and end of the day. What weve found in the past is that the flying foxes leave the gardens and go somewhere else,” said Tim.The gray-headed flying fox is Australias largest bat. It

37、flies around at night using its eyes and a powerful sense of smell to search for fruit and flowers. Officials at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney have said theyre optimistic the unwelcome colony can be uprooted. If and when the bats do move to other parts of the city they will of course then beco

41、cape. They provide a place for people to relax and play sports, as well as a shelter from the often severe environment of a city. What people often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits.One benefit of parks is that plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. A

42、ccording to one study, an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide that a typical car emits in 11,000 miles of driving. Parks also make cities cooler. Scientists have long noted what is called the Urban Heat Island Effect: building materials such as metal and concrete (混凝土) absorb

43、much more of the suns heat and release it much more quickly than trees and grass. Because city landscapes contain so much of these building materials, cities are usually warmer than surrounding rural areas. Parks and other green spaces help to lessen the Urban Heat Island Effect.Unfortunately, many

44、cities cannot easily create more parks. However, cities could benefit from many of the positive effects of parks by encouraging citizens to create another type of green space: rooftop gardens. While most people would not think of starting a garden on their roof, human beings have been planting garde

45、ns on rooftops for thousands of years. Some rooftop gardens are simple container gardens that anyone can create with the investment (投资) of a few hundred dollars and a few hours of work.Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban parks and garden spaces, but without taking up th

46、e much-needed land. In the summer, rooftop gardens prevent buildings from absorbing heat from the sun, which can significantly reduce cooling bills. In the winter, gardens help control the heat that materials like brick and concrete release so quickly, leading to savings on heating bills. Rooftop ve

47、getables and herb gardens can also provide fresh food for city settlers, making their diets healthier. Rooftop gardens are not only something everyone can enjoy but also a smart environmental investment.1、The underlined word “emits” in the second paragraph probably means _.Atakes up Bgives outCcarri

48、es away Dbreathes in2、Which of the following contributes to the Urban Heat Island Effect?AMore rooftop gardens. BMore trees and grass.CMore parking lots. DMore building materials.3、When it comes to rooftop gardens, what can be inferred from the passage?AThey make people much happier.BThey provide mo

49、re benefits from urban parks.CThey help to save money and keep a healthy diet.DThey have become very popular in recent years.4、Whats the authors attitude towards rooftop gardens?ASupportive.

50、26（30分） I come from one of those families where you have to yell at the dinner table to get in a word. Everyone has a strong 1 , and talks at the same time, and no one has a 2 leading to heated arguments. We often talk or even debate with each other on different topics. 3 a family like mine has made

51、 me more 4 about the world around me, making me tend to question anything anyone tells me. But it has also made me realize that Im not a good listener. And when I say “listening”, Im not 5 to the nodding-your-head-and- 6 -answering-Uh-huh-or-Ooh-I-see variety. I mean the kind of listening where you

52、find yourself deeply 7 with the person youre speaking with, when his story becomes so 8 that your world becomes less about you and more about him. No, I was never very good at that.I spent summer in South Africa two years ago. I worked for a good non-profit 9 called Noah, which works 10 on behalf of

53、 children affected by AIDS. But 11 you asked me what I really did in South Africa, Id tell you one thing: I listened, and I listened. Sometimes I 12 , but mostly listened.And had I not spent two months 13 , I might have missed the 14 moment when a quiet little girl at one of Noahs community centers,

54、 orphaned（孤儿）at the age of three, whispered after a long 15 , “I love you.” 16 that summer, I knew how to hear. I could sit down with anyone and hear their 17 and nod and respond at the 18 timebut most of the time I was 19 about the next words out of my own mouth. Ever since my summer in South Afric

55、a, I have noticed that its in those moments when my mouth is closed and my 20 is wide open that Ive learned the most about other people, and perhaps about myself.1、AqualificationBinfluenceCopinionDassumption2、AcommitmentBproblemCscheduleDrequest3、ABelonging toBBelieving inCBringing upDStruggling for
