Passage 5Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Recently,Francisca Antman of the University of Colorado makes a convincing case that tea as an everyman's drink in late 1700s England saved many lives.She says that the simple practice of boiling water for tea,in an era before people understood that illness could be caused by water-borne virus,may have been enough to keep many people from an early death.The changes in population in England of this era have long puzzled historians.Between 1761 and 1834,the annual death rate declined from 28 to 25 per 1,000 people.But at the same time,wages did not seem to have risen much and standards of living arguably did not increase.In fact,with the rise of the industrial revolution,more and more people were crowding into towns where the living condition would cause many deaths."With people coming into cities to work,you would expect,given the level of sanitation they have,that the big killer is water,"says Antman.Antman developed a way to test her theory,using detailed geographical information about more than 400 parishes(小行政区)across England.There is a simple assumption at the heart of her study:more water sources in an area likely means cleaner water.By assigning parishes an inferred level of water quality,Antman could see whether areas with worse water quality saw a bigger decline in mortality(死亡率)than those with good waterIn terms of testing this hypothesis,the key date is 1785,the moment when tea suddenly became affordable for the vast majority of Britons.This happened as 1784's Tea and Windows Act went into effect.The tax on tea went from 119%to just 12.5%and tea consumption exploded.By the end of the 18th Century,even very poor peasants were having tea twice a day,tea historian Alan Macfarlane writes.To see f this change correlated (相互关联影响)with decreased mortality,Antman compared death rates before and after this watershed moment.As expected,Antman found that death rates declined in both parishes with good water and those with bad;yet,parishes with bad water saw death rates drop 18%more than those with good water.Antman's research proves this idea:with relatively little change to their habits,merely an increase in a behavior they already enjoyed,people could better protect themselves.All they did was to have a cup of tea.问题21:Many lives were saved thanks to the habit of drinking tea in England of late _________ century.

Passage 6Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.One morning,I went out for an early morning run.I often worked late,so exercising before work was my choice.And I went out so early that it appeared still very dark outside.Generally speaking,I was not a fan of running alone in the dark,but I felt like early-morning dark was less scary than nighttime dark.Our neighborhood was far from city center and no cars were out that early.I was running on the left side of the street so if any cars did come,I could move onto the sidewalk if needed.But like what I said,no one else was out that early so I was all alone-or so I thought.Our neighborhood,like most neighborhoods in California,had a lot of cars parked on the street.We also had a lot of cats that lay under parked cars to stay warm.The street was so dark,I knew if a cat bolted out in front of me,I would have been scared.So I was running up the left side of the street this way,looking forward and slightly to my left when I saw a sudden,fast movement out of the right corner of my eye.I had not seen anything or anyone else out,so I whipped(猛然移动)my head to the right to see what it was.What happened next took place in a matter of seconds,but it scared me literally to death.I saw a ghost-like woman.She was in a long,white dress with long,black hair.And she was running at me.The woman was about 15-20 yards away from me when I finally saw her face.And that was when I realized I was screaming.I couldn't stop shaking.Suddenly,the woman slowed down and I stopped screaming.Then I saw that the woman was moving her mouth and quickly saying,“I’m sorry!I’m sorry!I’m sorry!”I put it all together.It was a girl wearing a costume because it was Halloween that day.The girl must have got something urgent.In a hurry,she was sprinting from her house to her car parked on the street near me,and the timing worked out exactly so that as I was running up the street, she was running directly at me.I would never run on a Halloween morning again.问题26:Why did the speaker go for a morning run?
