    How far can scientists let their curiosity go? The Ig Noble Prize, a spoof (滑稽模仿) of the prestigious (权威的) Nobel Prize, exists to award unusual or unimportant achievements in scientific research.

    The awards are given every year to the 10 strangest research projects of the year. It is to “honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think”.

On September 12, the 2019 winners of the Ig Nobel prize were announced. Here are three of them. See how they bring you fun and make you think.

    Medicine Prize: Pizza

    It’s one of the world’s most popular food, but what if we told you that a pizza can protect you against illness and death? According to the Ig Nobel Medicine Prize winner, eating more pizzas can lower the risk of cancer and heart disease—if your pizza is filled with fruits and veggies. These provide flavonoids (黄酮类化合物) to fight against certain disease. So, if you’re a pizza lover, you now have one more reason to love it.

    Economics Prize: Dirty Money

    As one of the most frequently passed items on the planet, paper money is known to pick up all kinds of bacteria (细菌). Which country’s money is the dirtiest? To find the answer, an international team of scientists compared seven countries’ paper money. They found that the notes including more polymer (聚合物) specifically the Romanian Leu, carry more drug-resistant pathogens (病原体). Perhaps this will make cashless (无现金的) payments more popular.

    Biology Prize: Cockroach (蟑螂)

    Cockroaches are well known for their survival abilities, but few people know they can sense magnetic (磁性的) fields. More surprisingly, an international team found that dead cockroaches have more magnetic properties (特性) than live ones. That’s because magnetic properties drop when the temperature gets higher.

    So if you can stand cockroaches, they may be good magnetic sensors.

26. According to the survey, which country’s paper money is the dirtiest?

A. Roman   B. Lebanon   C. Russia    D. Romania

27. What kind of cockroach may have more magnetic properties?

A. A dead one near the stove.    B. A live one near the stove.

C. A dead one near the fridge.    D. A live one on the ground.

28. Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?

A. The Ig Nobel Prize is a kind of prestigious Nobel Prize.

B. If a person has cancer and heart disease, he shouldn’t eat too many pizzas.

C. Because paper money is useless, this makes cashless payments more popular.

D. Because cockroaches have magnetic properties, people may apply this feature to sensors.

C

    When we wake up feeling sleepy and with dark circles under eyes, many of us often think “I’m going to go to bed earlier tomorrow!” But however determined (有决心的) we are, chances are that we don’t stick to our promise.

    This behavior is called “bedtime procrastination (拖延症), and results from lack of (缺乏) self-control and our body clock, reported HuffPost.

    According to a study carried out by a group of health psychologists at Utrecht University in the Netherlands (荷兰) in 2014, bedtime procrastination is a common problem. In their study, 53 percent of the 2,400 participants (参与者) said they didn’t follow their sleep schedule (日程), delaying (延迟) it at least twice a week.

    It’s found that they delayed bedtime not because they liked to stay up late, but they couldn’t stop doing other trivial (琐碎的) things, which were keeping them up in the first place.

    “People who generally have trouble fighting against temptations (诱惑) and sticking to their intentions (意图) are also more likely to delay going to bed,” Floor Kroese, a psychologist at Utrecht University, further explained to HuffPost.

    Yet, according to scientists, lack of self-control is not the only thing to blame (责备). Our body clock also plays an important role when it comes to bedtime.

    In order to check the influence of the body clock on sleep, psychologists at Ulm University in Germany studied the sleep patterns (模式) of 108 people in February. It was found that those who get up late are more likely to postpone their bedtime than those who wake early every morning.

    And more surprisingly, night owls (夜猫子) would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday, even though they had to get up early for work and school. It’s their special body clock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime, reported Popular Science.

29. What does the underlined word “postpone” in Paragraph 7 probably mean?

A. make changes about  B. forget about  C. put away   D. put off

30. What did the study by Utrecht University find?

A. 53 percent of the participant delay their bedtime every day.

B. The lack of self-control is the only reason for bedtime procrastination.

C. Bedtime procrastination is particularly common among the Dutch.

D. They delayed bedtime because they kept doing trivial things.

31. What’s the best title of this passage?

A. A common problem      B. A study carried out by psychologists

C. Bedtime procrastination     D. Our special body clock

D

    Dorothy and her friends were worried to get out of the forest as soon as they could, so they hurried along the yellow brick road. It was not long before they came to a wide river.

“What can we do now?” Dorothy exclaimed. “There isn’t a tree tall enough to fall across this river.”

    “There’s no problem,” the Scarecrow (稻草人) said. “The Tin Woodman will use his axe to build a raft (木筏).”

    And this is what the Tin Woodman did. And while he was busy making the raft, Dorothy found some wild fruit and nuts, which she ate hungrily. Then, because it was taking the Tin Woodman a long time to finish the raft, Dorothy lay down and went to sleep.

    The night passed without any problems, and the next morning the raft was ready, Dorothy sat in the middle with Toto. The Lion stood at one end and nearly sank (下沉) it because he was so big and heavy. The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman stood at the other end. They both had long poles (杆子) that they used to push the raft through the water.

    At first all went well, but then the river became so deep that the poles could not touch the bottom. The Tin Woodman said, “If we cannot stay near the land and the yellow brick road, the Wicked Witch of the West will use her magic and put a spell (咒语) on us.”

    “And then we won’t meet the Wizard, and I won’t get any brains,” the Scarecrow said.

    “And I won’t get a heart,” the Tin Woodman said.

    “And I won’t get any courage,” the Lion said.

    “And I’ll never get home to Kansas,” Dorothy said. “we must do something.”

    The Scarecrow was able to push the raft to the river bank. Dorothy, Toto, the Lion, and the Tin Woodman got off. Before the Scarecrow could get off, however, the raft moved away from the river band and carried the Scarecrow down the river.

    Dorothy said, “Perhaps we’ll meet the raft further down the river. The most important thing now is to get back to the yellow brick road and continue on our way to the City of Emeralds.”

    The Lion and the Tin Woodman agreed, and they set off along the river bank. It was not long before they saw the Scarecrow. He was holding onto the pole in the middle of the river. There was no sight of the raft.

32. What probably happened to Dorothy and her friends before the passage?

A. They had a good time in the forest.  B. They met danger in a forest.

C. They met the Wizard.     D. Their dream came true.

33. Who wants to get a heart?

34.Which is the correct order of the things below?

①They had long poles to push the raft through the water.

②Dorothy found some wild fruit and nuts.

③The Scarecrow was holding onto the pole in the middle of the river.

④The Tin Woodman began to build a raft.

A.③②④①  B.④②①③   C.②④①③   D.④①③②

35. What can we infer from this passage?

B. The Wicked Witch of the West helped the Scarecrow in the end.

C. They hoped to meet Wizard in the City of Emeralds.

四、阅读表达

    Shopping is a very important part of life but shoppers are faced with a confusing and rapidly changing situation. The prices of clothes, shoes, and make-up have gone sky high, so it is important that you do not waste your money and that you shop carefully for value. There are traditional ways of shopping: shopping in a department store, in a boutique, in the market. People shop around for the best price and quality. “To shop till you drop” is an American idiom (习语) which means to buy things from shop to shop until you are tired and can't walk any more. However, with the continuous development of society, the way of shopping for Americans has changed a lot today.

    Catalog (目录) Shopping

    People in the United States often shop from catalogs. There are special catalogs for almost every need, which include clothing, furniture, health and beauty products, footwear and so on and so forth. People also order about 40% of their music from music club catalogs. Customers say that music stores are too noisy.

    Television Shopping

    Television shopping began in 1986. About 5% to 8% of the American public now shops by television. Some popular shopping channels are the Home Shopping Network and QVC. Customers say that television shopping is easier than shopping in a store. How do they buy things? They make a phone call and use their credit card to buy things. And TV shopping channels are on late at night, so people can “go shopping” anytime.

    Online Shopping

    Online Shopping is a form of electronic business which allows customers to directly buy goods or services from a seller over the Internet using a web browser, Now more and more customers go online shopping because of the convenience. As of 2017, customers can shop online with the help of different computers and devices, including desktop computers, laptops, tablet computers and smart phones.
