In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries. Perhaps the shows popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy(书法)to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? Its possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.【But theres still hope for the paint brush. Chinas Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teachers examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,” she reasons. “Students must learn now so they dont forget when they grow up.” says the teacher.25. What can we learn about the Character Hero?A. Its open to people of all ages and all walks.B. Its the most-viewed TV programs in China.C. It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.D. It draws great public attention across the country.26. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the charactersA. Chinese people dont refer to dictionaries very often.B. Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.C. Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.D. Chinese people neednt write by hand as often with the help of technology.27. According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is_. A. necessary for adults to survive in China B. a requirement made by the Education Ministr C. helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture alive D. an ability to be developed only when you are students28. Where does this text probably come from? A. A news report. B. A science report. C. An advertisement. D. Childrens literature.CShould I heat the water on the stove or in the electric kettle? Do I start the washing machine in the afternoon or after 10 at night? How do I lower CO2 emissions（排放） by the way I use energy? Answers to such and similar questions are provided by the online game -RED-which is the short form for -Renewable Energy Drama. Researchers from IDMT in Erfurt, Germany, have developed the Web application. The experts see great potential in online games for teaching the subject of Saving electricity at home in an entertaining manner and to show that ones own behavior can affect how much electricity costs. The software is aimed at adults and young people interested in renewable energies who want to know how they can save energy. How much energy do individual household appliances consume. Which ones are the energy robbers and are the high bills the results of price increases-RED supplies the answers. The user does not even have to spend a great deal of time for the game takes only about ten to 15 minutes, says a researcher. RED leads you through the daily life of an imaginary family of three. The screen shows all the rooms in a house. The user goes into each room and is able, via mouse click, to do the regular housework such as cooking food or doing laundry. In a second module, the online game informs the-users how they can save electricity by using Smart Meters. Taking the time of day into account, they measure the exact actual usage of electricity. This is how the consumers can find out the potential for savings and start his dishwasher only at night - when electricity is particularly cheap. The “ Saving electricity at home module will go online soon and so will the second RED module; “ Saving electricity with Smart Meters. The online game can be played at www.residens - project and is free of charge. 29. What do we know about RED? A. It is a free online game B. It is designed for students C. It has already gone online D. It takes as long as ten minutes 30. What does the underlined word they(paragraph 5) most probably refer to? A. Users B. Consumers C. Researchers D. Meters 31. What would be the best title for the text? A. Save money at home B. Tips for lowering CO2 emissions C. Saving electricity while playing D. Tips for saving energyD We all know that eating junk food can make us fat. However, a new study suggests that it can do more than that- it can also make us lazy, reported CBS News In the study, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, US divided 32 female rats into two groups. The first group was fed a diet of healthy food such as corn and fish, while the second was given a diet of highly processed food rich in sugar, namely junk food. Within three months, the rats in the second group were already much fatter than those on the healthy diet. And when researchers trained the rats to do simple tasks, they found even more differences between the two groups other than weight. During the task-pushing a lever (杠杆)to receive a reward of sugar water-the rats on the junk food diet were found to be less willing to move, and they took longer breaks between each push than the lean(瘦的)rats did. It is as if the rats are thinking This is too much work”, Aaron Blaisdell , the leader of the study told the Los Angeles Times. But what about the possibility that the fat rats were less passionate (热爱的) about getting sugar water because they were already eating lots of sugar in their daily diet? Thats why researchers repeated the tests by rewarding fat rats with plain water when they were extremely thirsty. However, the results came out just the same. According to researchers, these differences suggest that junk food changed the chemistry in the rats brains.The experiment didnt end there. After six months, the rats diets were switched, and the overweight rats were given a healthy diet for nine days. However, this change didnt help reduce their weight or improve their ability to perform tasks, which means the effects of their junk food diet persisted(持续存在), Theres no quick fix, said Blaisdell. For a long time, weve believed that people become fat because they are lazy. But this study has proven the opposite to be true, as well, which indicates that laziness and obesity are a vicious cycle (恶性循环). So, if you constantly feel tired, lacking any urge to get up from your chair, it could be that youve been studying too hard. But you should also pay attention to your diet.32. During the first three months of the experiment by researchers at the University of California, _.A. rats from the healthy diet group ate nothing but corn and fish.B. rats on the junk food diet ate more than those on healthy dietC. rats on the healthy food diet performed better at simple tasks than those on the junk food dietD. rats on the junk food diet seemed uninterested in sugary food.33. The researchers rewarded thirsty rats with plain water in the lever test to _.A. help them control their weightB. test whether fat rats lost interest in the test because they had taken enough sugar C. change the diet habits of fat rats D. find out the influence of sugar on rats brains34. The underlined word there refers to _. A. after the rats on the junk food diet had worked hard to get sugar water B. after the type of food rats prefer had been identified C. after a quick cure for obesity had been found D. after the fact that fatter rats are lazier than lean rats had been found35. We can conclude from the article that _. A. fat people are usually lazier than lean people B. people should switch between different types of diets to keep healthy C. being overweight and being lazy can feed into each other D. laziness is the main cause of weight problems2-1-c-n-j-y第二节（共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Ali is from a Middle Eastern country.
