Fortunately, many sellers allow us to easily exchange or return products. Actually, its so easy these days that sellers are seeing an increase in the serial returner.A serial returner is someone who buys products, often in large numbers, only to return most of them. 41-year-old Hester Grainger, founder of Mumala Club, spends about 300 to 400 each month on clothes, but returns around 80%. Barclaycard, which holds nearly half of the UKs bank card businesses, reported that in the last two years 26% of sellers have seen an increase in in-store and on-line returns with the number of products being sent back up by 22%.Its a hard problem for sales companies. Returns eat into profits. Free transportation of products for the customer means the company foots the bill. Products may need to be packed again and some of them may be damaged, making them unfit for sale again. Besides, sometimes the fast-developing fashion has moved on. By the time the product comes back, it becomes a cut-price product, bringing extra loss to the sales company.Some sales companies are taking action to stop this behavior. According to a BBC report, four in ten companies now say they charge for returns to stop the returns of products without quality problems. Online marketer Amazon was reported to have started refusing to serve customers with too many returned products. And Barclaycard says a third of sellers have hiked their prices to cover these returns. But Vicky Brock who is a director of ReBound Returns, a returns management software system, believes this isnt the best strategy. Speaking in a BBC article, she says stopping returns shows the sellers have little understanding of customers. Companies can reduce returns by helping customers choose better. Finally, she says, returns are now as much a part of the shopping experience as buying things, and shops should take this into consideration.24. What can we learn from the passage?A. Customers have a changeable mind. B. Products online are of low quality.C. Serial returners are on the rise. D. The sellers attitude to returners is acceptable25. The author mentions Barclaycard to show _.A. people have a great interest in bank cardsB. in-store products would not be returnedC. Hester Grainger isnt a particular caseD. how much money people have spent in the last two years26. In Vicky Brocks opinion, _.A. returns are normal and understandableB. customers and sellers should understand each otherC. forbidding returns is a right decision made by marketersD. online shopping experience needs to be further improved.C Many science fiction stories tell about explorers arriving in a new world. The explorers then use some kind of high-tech device to test for breathable air or signs of life. But here on Earth, science fiction is becoming reality through a new sampling technology called environmental DNA, or eDNA for short. Scientists can use it to identify rare species or estimate fish populations with just a little air or water. Environmental DNA can be used in two ways. One is to identify the creatures that live in a certain place. The other is to confirm the presence or lack of a specific creature. Caren Goldberg is one of the first biologists to take the technology from the testing stage to actually using it. She sees eDNA as a way to get answers more efficiently and with less destruction compared to traditional survey techniques. Until recently, scientists depended on snorkeling (潜水), netting or using an electric current to temporarily catch fish. This newer way to identify what lives in the environment is becoming popular around the world. Animal experts in Vietnam are using the eDNA to find the last, wild Yangtze giant softshell turtles. One researcher on the Caribbean island of Trinidad is using the sampling technology to find endangered golden treefrogs. In Madagascar, it is being used to identify amphibian(两栖动物)diseases. Ms Goldberg has used eDNA testing to confirm the local extinction (灭绝) of a leopard frog in the American state of Idaho. She has also been asked to document the spread of the New Zealand mudsnail in the state of Washington. The creature has been found in lakes and other waterways across the state. Scientists working with the technology say they do not expect robots to replace field biologists anytime soon. But the old-fashioned field work could soon be more targeted.27. Compared to traditional survey techniques, eDNA is more_. A. complex B. eco-friendly C. dangerous D. convincing28. By using eDNA, Caren Goldberg has_. A. succeeded in catching many fishes B. found the existence of golden tree frogsC. documented the spread of softshell turtlesD. confirmed the disappearance of the leopard frog in Idaho29. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Robots will replace scientists soon. B. Some scientists are against using eDNA.C. The old-fashioned field work may disappear.D. Many biologists are unwilling to do the field work.30. What is the best title for the text? A. Science Fiction Becomes Reality for Species SurveysB. Biologists Explore Space with the Help of eDNAC. Scientists Found Methods to Test for Signs of LifeD. New Technologies Are Presented in Science Fictions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的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A recent survey shows that roughly 85 percent of people feel physical symptoms of stress. 31 and they will help you feel more energetic tomorrow:Double your chewsChewing is a super important part of digesting process. Chewing makes it easier for your body to break down food and turn it into energy. The most proper number of chews per bite is unclear. 32 . It will be easy for your body to break down the food and store energy.Drink one less cup of coffeeAlthough caffeine in coffee blocks your brain from receiving adenosine, which causes tiredness, it doesnt stop your body from producing it. So once the caffeine disappears, its the build-up of adenosine that causes you to crash and reach for more coffee, creating a bad circle. 33 but drinking less coffee can help you feel more energetic in the long term.Take a few deep breathsBy not breathing deeply enough, you end up sending a signal to your nervous system that increases your anxiety even further. Changing your breathing habits by taking a few long, slow breaths throughout the day reduces the stress response while energizing your cells. 34 : Simply breathe in through your nose for a count of three and out through your mouth for a count of three. Repeat if necessary. 35 Take some time to reflect on the positive by writing down three things that went smoothly during your day or just items you feel grateful for.

LeBron James, the famous American basketball star, for instance, earns an income of more than 20 million dollars a year. Some people hold the view that these stars do not deserve the high pay that they are getting. Some even argue that sports stars do nothing to society apart from entertaining people. Their contribution to society are much less than those made by doctors, firemen, scientists, professors, etc. But I can never agree with that.While sports are for entertainment, it does n
