There are several reasons for this, including the terrible financial perf

It wouldnt take long for anyone visiting the country to realize how deeply into our cult

26、ure it has become. It surely goes beyond the 90 minutes played on the playground. Many fans are addicted to their teams and refuse to miss a single match, whether theyre attending the match live, or just watching it on TV. Soccer is typically a man-oriented sport, but my grandmother has always been

27、a crazy fan and could probably outdo most men when it comes to soccer knowledge.When I was little, she would take me to many matches on the weekends. Shes a supporter of her hometown team of Norwich and used to have season tickets. I remember how crazy she was cheering for her favorite team, and eve

28、n now she refuses to miss a single game on the TV.My friends often talk about their favorite soccer teams. When I first began my time at high school, many kids asked who my favorite players and my ideal team would be.This is not unusual, and discussing sports is a very common way for people to make

29、new friends.However, theres also a lot of conflicts between supporters and unluckily the soccer culture in the UK can sometimes be a negative one. Conflicts between teams is huge and some fans can be aggressive both during and outside of matches. The rest of the time, however, its a sport that is ce

30、lebrated national, bringing people and young generations together.35. What can we infer from the example of “my grandmother-a crazy fan”?A. Soccer is the most popular event in the world.B.

33、e article?A. The conflicts of soccer in the UK. B. A good way of making friends.C. British soccer fans culture. D. The advantages of soccer in the UK.CSweet peas, cucumbers, grapes what do you think they have in common? None of these vegetables grow on trees. They all dont have strong roots, big tru

34、nks or long branches, which makes it harder for them to get sunlight. But dont worry. They have developed their own unique way of growing taller climbing! Take sweet peas as an example. The plant grows as a straight stem until it finds something to hold onto, either a nearby tree or a stick. That is

35、 when the stem makes small coil(卷曲) that helps the plant hold the stick tightly.How these plants are able to do this has been a mystery to scientists for years. Even Charles Darwin was interested in this question. But it is not until now that a Harvard research team has finally found the answer. The

36、 study was published in the Journal Science earlier this month.The key, as it turns out, is inside a kind of thread-like cell called “g-fiber cell”, which has the ability to shrink(收縮) or stretch(伸展). Each stem of the pea plant is made of several layers of g-fibers. Once the plant finds something to

37、 hold onto, cells on side of the stem start to shrink, forcing the whole thing to bend and coil, which is a bit like how our muscles get our bodies to move.Whats more, a peas coil is not exactly like that of a spring (彈簧). If you look closely, you may find that a spring coils all in the same directi

38、on, but a plants coil is in two opposite directions, like a telephone line. This means that the stem can stay soft when pulled gently but become strong enough when pulled harder.“You want the plant to have a little bit of flexibility(柔韌性) so that if the wind blows or an animal disturb it, it doesnt

39、break,” explained Sharon Gerbode, author of the study. “This structure allows the plant to easily accommodate small movement, but then if something really serious happens it can become strong and protect itself.”39. According to the article, coiling happens in sweet peas plant to allow the plant to

40、.A. form a straight stem B. grow strong rootsC. develop g-fiber cells on the stems D. climb itself up toward the sunlight 40. According to the article, which one is true about “a sweet peas coil”?A. to be like that of a spring B. to bend all in the same directionC. to make the stem hard break D. to

41、make the stem get soft when pulled hard41. When the sweet pea plant finds something to hold onto, .A. g-fiber cells on both sides of stem , forcing the stem to bend and coilB. g-fiber cells on side of stem shrink, forcing the stem to bend and coilC. g-fiber cells on the stem start to stretch, forcin

42、g the stem to bend and coilD. there are more g-fiber cells on the stems42. Whats the purpose of the writer in the passage?A. To tell us why the sweet peas can climb the tree or stick.B. To display new research allows scientists to understand more about climbing plants.C. To show us new scientific re

43、search about the role of “g-fiber cell”.D. To tell us the mysterious natural phenomena of some plants.DIn the famous film Jurassic Park you always know when a T-Rex, a big meat-eating animal is coming. What does it give away? A T-Raxs coming is felt by its heavy, thundering footsteps before it appea

44、rs.When we hear a loud noise we connect it with a large object, even if the sound itself doesnt have any weight or size. This is something our ancestors have done for centuries, so they could decide whether or not to run away based on how big an animal sounds without looking at it.“Our hearing and s

45、ight sometimes work together to help us better realize the world. This is true with our other senses too. They cooperate more often than we understand.” the Guardian reported.Two researchers in New York, Daniel Wesson and Donald Wilson, found the different connection between hearing and smell when t

46、hey were studying a special part of the brain known as the “olfactory tubercle”(嗅結(jié)節(jié))。At first, they planned to measure how the “olfactory tubercle” in mouse responded to the smell. But in the experiment, Wesson noticed that every time he put down his coffee cup with a clunk(哐啷聲), the mouses cell bec

47、ame active. They started to realize that the “olfactory tubercle” can receive both smell and sound from the outside world.Following their experiment, Charles Spence and Anne-Sylvie Crisinel, professors from Oxford University in the UK, managed to take the experiment further.In their discovery, volun

48、teers were asked to smell different kind of wine and then match them to a musical instrument and tone. Interestingly, their choices were quite similar. The piano was connected to fruity smell; unpleasant smells were connected to brass(銅管樂器) instrument.Some other researchers also found that listening

49、 to different sound can change our sensesfor example, our sense of taste. Volunteers were given the same candies while listening to different sound, and they ended up considering these candies more bitter or sweeter, depending on the sounds they were listening.So when you smell a pleasant smell on t

50、he street, please stop and ask yourself: “What does this smell sound like?”43. The author talked about the film Jurassic Park at beginning in order to _ .A. display the scientific inspiration that comes from the film.B. introduce the idea that our senses can be closely related.C. remind people to us

51、e sound to guess the size or weight of an animal.D. show many of our senses developed during the process of evolution.44.

52、archers opinionsD. thinks modern human beings are better than our ancestors.45. What does the author want to express by telling two New York researchers experiments? A. Something they found was beyond their expectations.B. They found that the mouses “olfactory tubercle” is similar to that found in h

53、umans.C. Their research was based on Charles Spence and Anne-Sylvie Crisinels discovery.D. They discovered the “olfactory tubercle” is the part of the brain that receives and sends information about smell.46. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. Our senses have de

54、veloped and work together because of evolution. B. Various senses cooperate more than they work independently.C. Different senses work together with and on each other.D. Some scientific findings are made by chance.EKibo Safari Camp has the pleasure of giving you the tips below to make your stay at t
