It is the largest non-royal building in England and is now listed by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Winston Churchill In 1874，

11、the palace was the birthplace of the dukes most famous descendant. Winston Churchill, who was to become the UKs Prime Minister (some would say Britains greatest 20th-century politician ) and Nobel prize winner for literature. It is also in Blenheim that Winston got married to Clementine Hozier in 19

12、08.A lasting exhibition is devoted to the mans life, work and writings.

The 11th Duke of Marlborough still lives there,BIn October 2013, Davion Only made an appeal on the Internet. He had learned t

17、hat his biological mother had died not long before. “My name is Davion and I have been in foster care since I was born,” he said, “but I am not giving up hope.”The heartbreaking appeal spread quickly, and Onlys foster agency received calls from more than 10,000 people. Only ended up travelling to Oh

18、io to live with a family. But after Only got into a physical fight with one of his elder would-be brothers, the family changed their minds.Back in Florida, Only passed through four different temporary homes over the following year, until he called Connie Going, his adoption case worker, to make a sp

19、ecial request. Only had known Going for nearly ten years, and had asked every year if she would adopt him, but she always hesitated. “I always believed there was a better family than us out there, Going said in an interview. But last July, when Only called and asked again if she might adopt him, Goi

20、ng said something felt different. When he asked me, my heart felt this ache and I just knew he was my son, she said.So Going, 52, invited Only to start spending time with the rest of her family-her two daughters, Sydney, 21, and Carly 17, and a son Taylor, 14, who she also adopted out of foster care

21、. Eventually, after seeing how well the arrangement was working, Going, who had rented a bigger home, started adopting Only. Only moved in with her family last December. He officially joined Goings family on April 22, 2015 when the adoption papers went through.Today, I feel blessed and honored to ha

22、ve been chosen to be the parent of all my children, Going said.24.

25、ids often had physical fightsD. another three kids were later adopted as well CIf you are worried about the planet, please make sure your rubbish is buried under the ground.People talk about “reduce, reuse, recycle.” It sounds like a good idea. There is a problem, though. Recycling costs too much mo

26、ney.Even the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says it only makes sense economically and environmentally to recycle about 35 percent of disabled (废弃的) materials. Among those materials are paper and aluminum（铝）cans. Recycling 1 ton of paper or aluminum cans, the agency says, can save about 3

27、 tons of CO2 emissions (排放物) over producing those materials anew. Paper producers pay for the trees they process. If it was cost-effective to recycle paper, producers would be beating down your door to buy it. But they arent. That means its more expensive to recycle old paper than to cut trees and t

28、hen replant trees for processing.Plastic can be recycled too. Given the recent drop in crude oil (原油) prices, it is now cheaper to make a new plastic container than to recycle an old one. Even if that were not true, the EPA says that recycling a ton of plastic saves only about a ton of CO2. However,

29、 it doesnt take into account the water most consumers use to wash their plastic containers before having them recycled. The New York Times journalist John Tierney recently wrote, “If you wash plastic in water that was heated by electricity, then the effort of your recycling could be more carbon in t

30、he atmosphere.”Glass is another recyclable material. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1 ton you have to recycle 3 tons of glass. If one includes the cost of collecting glass waste from neighborhoods, and the pollution produced by the collection trucks and the recycling process itself, glass rec

31、ycling creates more greenhouse gas emissions and is more expensive than making new glass, which comes primarily from sand that exists everywhere.If recycling were truly cost-effective, private companies would be lining up at your doorstep to buy your rubbish. Dont look now because theyre not there.2

32、8. Whats the EPAs attitude to recycling aluminum cans?A. It is helpful to the environment.B. It is actually a waste of money.C. It costs less than recycling paper.D. It costs the same as producing new cans.29. What increases the cost of recycling plastic?A. The crude oil.B. The water pollutionC. The

33、 process to clean it.D. The electricity for lights.30. What can be learned about making new glass?A. It results in lots of waste in neighborhood.B. The material for new glass can be easily got.C. It is slightly more expensive than recycling glass.D. Making 3 tons of new glass produces 1 ton of carbo

34、n emissions.31. What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence?A. Recycling will disappear soon.B. Companies will line up at your doorstep.C. Recycling is a way to deal with your rubbish.D. Companies wont bother to collect discarded materials. DA study examining the children of people e

35、vacuated(撤离)during the WWII showed the daughters of female evacuees were up to four times more likely to suffer from serious mental health conditions compared to those whose parents stayed at home.In the largest enquiry ever of its kind, researchers examined the health records of 3000 children of Fi

36、nnish people evacuated to Sweden during the 1941-1945 conflict with Soviet Russia. The evacuees, many of whom were at a pre-school age, were placed with foster families in Sweden and were forced to learn Swedish, later returning to Finland. The study found that the female children of these girls had

37、 an increased risk of being hospitalized for conditions such as depression. However, this was not the case with children of boys evacuated during the war. The study could not determine why. One possibility is that the stress of the evacuees experience affected their psychological development in ways

38、 that influenced their parenting style. Another possibility is that the evacuees experience resulted in epigenetic changeschanged in the way genes are expressed. For example, the researchers mentioned an earlier finding that Holocaust survivors have higher levels of methyl groups bound to the FKBP5

39、gene and have passed his change on to their children. This higher level of methyl groups appears to change the production of cortisol, a hormone(荷尔蒙) that controls the stress response. “The Finnish evacuation was intended to protect children from the harm associated with the countrys wars with the S

40、oviet Union”, said study co-author Dr Torsten Santavirta, from Uppsala University. “Our observation of the long-term psychiatric(精神病的) risk that reached into the next generation is concerning and stresses the need to weigh benefits as well as potential risks when designing policies for child protect

41、ion”.32. What can we infer about the new study?A. It involved the most test subjects. B. Its finding is relatively reliable.C. Its finding is contrary to an earlier one. D. It was conducted right after the WWII.33. Which method does the author use to develop Paragraph3?A. By introducing a conclusion

42、. B. By conducting an experiment.C. By making assumptions. D. By supporting opinions.34. How does Dr. Santavirta find the Finnish evacuation?A. It didnt fully fulfill its original purpose.B. It resulted in wars with the Soviet Union.C. It was first suggested by the Soviet Union.D. It was a good exam

43、ple of the child protection.35. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Childrens mental health is greatly influenced by wars.B. Womens mental illness can be passed to the future generation.C. Mothers childhood mental condition may affect their daughters.D. Girls are more likely to suffer from menta

Under such pressure, your child came in: Hed lost his sneakers, and suddenly remembered that

45、he needed a new notebook for school, or he was teasing his little sister. In your peaceful moments, you could probably have handled any parenting challenge much better from a state of calm. _37_. How could this kid be so irresponsible, inconsiderate, ungrateful or even mean? So you scolded your chil

46、d angrily. The whole process only took a few seconds. If your young child does not seem afraid of your anger, it shows that your child has seen too much of it and has developed defenses against it. The more often you get angry, the more prepared for it your child will be. _38_. In the end, your chil

47、d is more likely to be open to the influences of his peer group. That means you have some repair work to do. Sometimes your child gets angry too, so its a double gift for you to find constructive ways to deal with your anger: Not only do you not hurt your child, but you also offer your child a role

48、model. _39_. So the best way is not to yell out. Stop and calm yourself down. Take a deep breath. _40_.
