9.Louis Pasteur was born in Dole,France on December 27,1822.His family was poor,and during his early education Pasteur was an ordinary student who enjoyed art and singing.However,when Pasteur was exposed to science as a teenager,he knew he had found his career.
In 1838,Pasteur went to college to become a science teacher.He then became a chemistry professor at the University of Strasbourg.He got married in 1849and had five children.However,three died young from typhoid fever (伤寒症).It was the deaths of his children that drove Pasteur to investigate the infectious disease in order to find a cure.
During Pasteur's time,people believed that bacteria(细菌) appeared due to"spontaneous generation(自然发生)".They thought that the bacteria just appeared out of nowhere.Pasteur carried out experiments to see if this was true.Through his experiments he proved that germs were living things that came from other living things.They didn't just spontaneously appear.This was a major discovery in the study of biology and earned Pasteur the title of Father of Germ Theory.
As Pasteur learned more about bacteria,he began to think they may be the cause of diseases in humans.When the French silk market was threatened by a disease to silkworms (蝉),Pasteur decided to investigate.He discovered that this disease was caused by germs.By killing them from the silkworm farms,he was able to cease the disease and save the French silk business.
Today Louis Pasteur is known as one of the most important scientists in history.His discoveries led to an understanding of bacteria and diseases that has helped save millions and millions of lives.

28.After his children's deaths,Louis PasteurC.
A.became afraid of infectious diseases
B.was frustrated and wanted to do nothing
C.decided to find out how to treat the disease
D.didn't know it was typhoid fever that caused their deaths
29.What is implied about Louis Pasteur's discovery in Paragraph 3?D
A.It supported what most people thought at that time.
B.It revealed that bacteria often appeared out of nowhere.
C.It attracted the attention of the Father of Germ Theory.
D.It was a very important discovery in the history of biology.
30.What does the underlined word"cease"in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A
A.End.
B.Find.
C.Develop.
D.Spread.
31.What is the text mainly about?B
A.A disease that killed children easily in history.

You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.    

“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的),” Gray told the BBC. “They (elevators) are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”    

We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.    

He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want – it’s your own little box.    

If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance.    

When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.    

New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple – look down, or look at your phone.    

Why are we so awkward in lifts?    

“You don’t have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators.”    

In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed (理解) as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,” she said.

1.The main purpose of the article is to _____.

A. remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevator

B. tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquette

C. share an interesting but awkward elevator ride

D. analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator

2.According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _____.

A. turn around and greet one another

B. look around or examine their phone

C. make eye contact with those in the elevator

D. try to keep a distance from other people

3.Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator?

4.The underlined phrase “size up” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _____.

A. judge B. ignore C. put up with D. make the best of

I am sorry to hear that you are suffering from anxiety disorders due to the great stress of studying.
Here I would like to give you some suggestions about dealing with your stress.
First,you ought to learn to study hard as well as relax if necessary.As an old saying goes,all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.When tired,you can go walking or do some sports with your classmates.Secondly,as is well known,stress is to us what water is to fish,but do not give yourself too much stress or you may feel frustrated and tired,which is bad for your health.Thirdly,I think it would be beneficial if you could share some of your inner emotions with your friends,parents or teachers.
I hope you will find these suggestions helpful.
Best wishes,

We all have been told since we were kids that we need at least 8 hours of sleep every night.(36)G.Not many.
Sleep,though,is one of the most important things our bodies need to stay healthy.Without the rest that sleep provides,our bodies and minds wear down to the point where not only do we lose our work efficiency,but lack of sleep can even make us sick.(37)A.
A lot of people eat late into the night and then try to sleep on a full stomach(38)FWhile you're trying to sleep,your body is working hard to absorb whatever you've eaten.Stay away from food a few hours before you go to bed,so that your body can rest.
If you need more hours in the day to get your work done,try to make a choice between waking up extra early and then going to bed on time,or staying up later but then also getting up later.Some people do better and are more productive when they stay up late.(39)DDo some tests on yourself to see which option works better on you.
(40)C.You body and your mind are more efficient when a routine has been set and a habit has been formed.Followed the same positive sleep patterns for a week or a week or a month and you'll notice a big change in how much more restful you feel.

A.If you are struggling to get the sleep you need,here are some suggestions for you.
B.So it's vital to have enough sleep for us.
C.Turn sleep into a habit.
D.Others feel better and have more energy when they wake up early.
E.The more hours we sleep,the more energy we will have.
F.This will not provide you with a restful sleep.
G.However,how many of us actually get that many hours of sleep?

19.In East Africa,the sport of cycling has been growing in popularity in recent years.There are plenty of hills for cyclists to climb and a mild climate-not too hot,but not too cold.In addition,two-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome was born in Kenya.
Now an area 50 kilometers southeast of Nairobi is seeking to become Kenya's center for cycling.But with hills in Kenya rising as high as 1,600 meters above sea level,cycling the countryside is anything but effortless.That makes Machakos County,Kenya,a good place to test the abilities of East African cyclists during the Tour de Machakos.
Twenty-three-year-old Cyrus Wambua is one of the riders.Born and raised in Machakos,Wambua has been riding bicycles since he was a child.He says his mother urged him to start:"My mother got inspired by that strong guy from the Tour de France,Lance Armstrong.So I used to read documentaries(纪录片)and when we were a small kid,they used to tell us that one day you'll race like Lance Armstrong."

Alex Tibwitta organized the Tour de Machakos.He says Machakos has it all-nice hills,good roads and a government that supports the cycling community."I'm pretty confident that with the right promotion,this is definitely the best place to base a sort of cycling in Kenya,and probably in East Africa,"he said.
The Tour de Machakos covers 400 kilometers around Machakos County.It is the biggest road race in Kenya.This year there were 130 registered cyclists-double the number from last year.

28.What goal is Machakos County of Kenya pursuing?B
A.To hold the Tour de Machakos for the second time.
B.To become the most important place for cycling.
C.To draw more cyclists to come to practise cycling.
D.To make itself a world-famous centre of tourism.
29.Who was encouraged by his mother to take part in cycling?D
A.Lance Armstrong.
B.Jesper Fiedler.
C.Alex Tibwitta.
D.Cyrus Wambua.
30.What is Alex Tibwitta's attitude towards Machakos?A
A.He sings high praise for it.
B.He is not satisfied with it.
C.He wants more help from it.
D.He praises not its roads but its hills.
31.What do you know about the Tour de Machakos?C
A.It covers the longest distance in cycling races.
B.It is the biggest road race in the world.
C.The number of cyclists doubled in it.
