【题目】 Warm water freezes more quickly than cold water. Sir Francis Bacon said that almost four hundred years ago. But few people believed him until 1970. In that year a Canadian scientist George Kill proved the English professor was right. Dr Kill filled an open oil pail (桶) with cold water. He filled another with warm water. He put both in the same low temperature. The warm water froze first. The lack of covers on the pails is the secret. Some of the warm water changed into vapor. This meant that less of the warm water was left to be frozen. And so the warm water froze faster than the cold water even though it had a greater temperature drop to make.
【1】Hundreds of years ago, Sir Francis Bacon found _______.
A.the temperature of warm water drops faster than that of cold water
B.warm water is heavier than cold water
C.warm water has the same temperature as cold water
D.warm water is not as useful as cold water
【2】Leave a pail with warm water and another pail with cold water in the same low temperature, you’ll find that _______.
A.cold water freezes first
B.warm water turns into ice before cold water
C.warm water and cold water freeze at the same time
D.much of cold water is changed into air.
【3】Why does warm water freeze first in the same freezing weather? _______
A.Because some of the warm water turns to vapor, the amount becomes less than that of cold water.
B.Because warm water is lighter than cold water.
C.Because the temperature of warm water is lower than that of cold water.

【题目】 Kevin Adkins admits that when he lacks confidence, he uses big words to appear smarter, of which most people don’t know the meaning. “Only when I need to impress the person. I prefer using big words,” says the 45-year-old.
Adkins is not alone. Many people use longer words in place of shorter ones because they know, consciously or unconsciously, that when others form impressions of them after a glance or a short conversation, they often work harder to give the “right” impression. “People think, if I can show that I have a good vocabulary, I’ll sound smarter says Daniel Oppenheimer, PhD, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. However, if the listeners do not understand those long words, he adds, it will leave a bad impression instead.
The truth is that it can easily go wrong. “It’s almost a game that two people are playing,” says Eric Igou, PhD, a social psychologist at Ireland’s University of Limerick. “If the observer, person B, doesn’t have the same theory, it can backfire.” Person A may be regarded as showing off instead of being intelligent.
Using big words may also confuse listeners, which is definitely moving in the wrong direction, “People associate intelligence with clearness of expressions,” says Oppenheimer. That’s especially true when it comes to the written word. A small study in Applied Cognitive Psychology (应用认知心理学) found that the more writers tried to sound smart, the less intelligent they were considered to be.
So what can you do to sound smarter? Speak clearly and directly. Leave the dictionary at your desk.
【1】Why does Kevin Adkins prefer saying big words sometimes?
A.He wants to make himself more easily understood.
B.He believes that it is cool.
C.He enjoys the feelings of being mysterious.
D.He hopes that what he says sounds smart.
【2】What is Professor Oppenheimer’s attitude towards the behavior of using big words?
A.Disapproving.B.Favorable.
C.Indifferent.D.Cautious.
【3】What does Eric Igou mean by saying “it can backfire” in paragraph 3?
A.It can catch fire.B.Person B can fire person A.
C.It can deliver an opposite effect.D.The observer can also fight back.
【4】What can we learn from the small study in Applied Cognitive Psychology?
A.The writer who never uses big words is more intelligent.
B.The writer who uses big words the most is the most intelligent.
C.People like the writers who only use short and clear expressions.
D.The writers should avoid using big words often in their writings.

【题目】 About 4 million children worldwide develop asthma(哮喘) each year because of nitrogen dioxide(NO2 , 二氧化氮) air pollution, according to a study published by researchers at the George Washington University. The study estimates(估算) that 64 percent of these new cases of asthma occur in urban areas.
“The study is the first to quantify the worldwide burden of new pediatric(儿科的) asthma cases linked to traffic-related nitrogen dioxide by using a method that takes into account high exposure to this pollutant that occurs near busy roads, ” said Susan C. Anenberg, PhD, the senior author of the study.
“Our findings suggest that millions of new cases of pediatric asthma could be prevented in cities around the world by reducing air pollution,” said Anenberg. “Improving access to cleaner forms of transportation, like electrified public transport, cycling and walking, would not only bring down NO2 levels, but would also improve physical fitness, and cut greenhouse gas emissions(排放). ”
Asthma is a disease that makes it hard to breathe when the lung’s airways are swollen. An estimated 235 million people worldwide at present have asthma, which can cause life-threatening attacks.
The World Health Organization calls air pollution “a major environmental risk to health” and has offered Air Quality Guidelines for NO2 and other air pollutants. The researchers estimate that most children lived in areas below the NO2, guideline. They also found that about 92 percent of the new pediatric asthma cases that were caused by NO2 occurred in areas that already meet the WHO guideline.
“That finding suggests that the WHO guideline for NO2 may need to be re-evaluated to make sure it is conducive to the protection of children’s health,” said Pattanun Achakulwisut, PhD, lead author of the paper.
Additional research must be done to more persuasively identify what is leading to asthma within complex traffic emissions. This effort will help to improve the estimates of new asthma cases tied to traffic emissions.
【1】What can we learn from Susan C. Anenberg?
A.Old forms of getting around need to be replaced.
B.Few cases of pediatric asthma occur in urban areas.
C.Pediatric asthma increases because of unclean energy.
D.Greener transportation helps to reduce asthma cases.
【2】What can we infer about the Air Quality Guidelines for NO2?
A.It proved persuasive.B.It seemed unreasonable.
C.It would be abandoned.D.It turned out instructive.
【3】What does the underlined word “conducive” in paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.Beneficial.B.Open.
C.Equal.D.Familiar.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A.Asthma has put children’s life in unavoidable danger.
B.WHO should improve Air Quality Guidelines for NO2.
C.NO2 air pollution causes children to suffer from asthma.
D.Air pollution is a serious worldwide problem nowadays.
