You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!Parapsychologists(灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether there is such a “sixth sense”, Robert Baker,a psychologist(心理学家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects(受试者) were eating, drinking, reading studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people didn't know that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he asked the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind a two way mirror in a laboratory. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren't. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren't.Baker finds out that people do not have the ability to sense when they're being stared at. “If people doubt the outcome of my two experiments,” said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”26．What's the purpose of the two experiments?A．To explain when people can have a sixth sense.B．To study whether humans can sense when they are stared atC．To prove why humans have a sixth sense.27．We can know from the two experiments that ________A．Baker did the first experiment in public places.B．Baker did the second experiment for about five to fifteen minutes.C．all the subjects had to write down how they felt when being stared at.28．The underlined word “outcome” can be changed into ________.A．value B．result C．behavior29．What can we learn from the passage?A．The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.B．People have a sixth sense in all places.C．The experiments support parapsychologists' idea.30．What is the passage mainly about?A．Natural abilities of animals.B．The famous experiments.C．The sixth sense.China's Yangtze River, the world's third longest river, is home to 378 known species(物种) of fish. But the Chinese paddlefish(白鲟), once a common freshwater fish in the river, is no longer a member of it. Although few paddlefish were seen after 1995, they didn'tAccording to a recent study, human activities drove the nearly 200-million-year-old animals to extinction.The Chinese paddlefish, also known as the “panda of Yangtze”, was one of the world's largest freshwater fish species. It could grow as long as 7 meters and weigh up to 450 kilograms.While the Chinese paddlefish was listed as a nationally protected animal in the 1980s, overfishing in the 1970s caused great influence to their population. National Geographic reports that about 25 tons of paddlefish were caught each year during that period. And in 1981, the building of the Gezhouba Dam divided the paddlefish population into two parts, which broke migration patterns(洄游模式) and prevented producing young upstream. This caused the paddlefish to be short of numbers to reproduce.The problem is that more will be like this, but the hope is that in order to save other endangered Yangtze species, many quicker efforts are being made. Also China introduced a 10-year commercial(商业的) fishing ban(禁令) over 300 parts along the Yangtze River in order to protect endangered Yangtze species.31．What does the underlined part “become extinct” mean in Chinese?A．繁殖B．变异C．灭绝32．What DOESN'T the passage mention about the paddlefish?A．Its length.B．Its height.C．Its weight. 33．According to Paragraph 3, what caused the extinction of the paddlefish?A．Humans' overfishing and being separated by a dam.B．Living in a bad environment and being separated by a dam.C．Humans' overfishing and living in a bad environment.34．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．The commercial fishing ban was made to protect paddlefish only.B．Action is being taken to save freshwater fish species.C．The Chinese paddlefish is the only freshwater fish in the Yangtze River.35．In which part of a newspaper can we see the passage?A．NATURE.B．SCIENCE.C．HISTORY.四、阅读还原5选4Fahd Saleh is a restaurant owner.

Products are not produced in a “green” way. It leads to the new pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of wastes like glass, paper and plastics are produced. The waste problem is difficult to deal with.However, today, people have realized the importance of buying and using environmentally-friendly products. More and more people are choosing “green” and expecting that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these, “Will this soap be bad for the environment?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”Over 20,000 people took part in a web survey on buying environmentally-friendly products. Among them, 8,129 people say that they now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. That is to say, companies must change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “green”.A few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds of them. Some supermarket products carry labels to show that they are green. Some companies have made the clean and safe products. The growing need for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business of them. The public will no longer accept the old idea of “buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it.” As a result, the companies have to take action.40．According to the passage, what leads to the new pollution problem?41．In the web survey, what do many people think about before they buy a product?42．How many people took part in the web survey on buying environmentally-friendly products?43．Is it possible to find green products in supermarkets now?44．Why do the companies need to rethink how they do business of them?六、语篇翻译It’s late evening.
