26、Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia (百科全书), is the largest encyclopedia ever. An encyclopedia is a collection of informative articles about various things. Encyclopedias used to be printed as books. 【1】
“Wiki” is an internet term that means "a website that can be edited by the public." It comes from “wikiwiki”, a Hawaiian word for "quick". Two Americans, Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, created Wikipedia in 2001. 【2】It has about 6 million articles in 300 languages and is visited by billions of people each day, who want to find information on just about anything – science, math, languages, art, culture, and company histories. There are articles on sports stars, too, and even long-forgotten soap operas from the 1970s.
【3】Except for a small number of pages, anyone can edit articles, anonymously (匿名地) or with a user account, and registered (注册的) users can create their own articles. Editing is unpaid, although Wikipedia does employ a small staff. Wikipedia is freely available to anyone with an internet connection. Its founders hoped that the model would make use of humanity's collective knowledge.
【4】Many Wikipedia pages contain errors, although the organization has a content review system that works to fix this problem. Several studies have concluded that Wikipedia is as accurate as most print encyclopedias. Indeed, a 2005 report in the journal Nature found it to be only slightly less reliable (可靠的) than Encyclopedia Britannica.
【5】It does not rely on advertising. Instead, all of its funds (资金) come from donations. Perhaps more importantly, the number of its volunteer editors is shrinking.
Despite these difficulties, Jimmy Wales says he will still stick to his dream. He has big plans for the future. He wants Wikipedia available in all of the world's languages.
A.Today Wikipedia faces many challenges.
B.Wikipedia employs an open editing model.
C.It allows users to get information within seconds.
D.It is now the fifth-most visited website on the internet.
E.Most of its editors are volunteers.
F.Now, they are mostly found online.
G.However, some people doubt the accuracy (准确性) of Wikipedia's content.
27、Running on the beach can certainly be a good thing. It's completely different from running on the pavement,a track or trails with soft surfaces.
For starters,sand can be a challenge because it has an uneven(不平的)surface and constantly moves under your feet. As you push off,you're going to lose some of your push as the sand moves. So,you're not going to be able to push yourself forward as you would on a track or pavement!But this unevenness has an upside: It gives your body an extra workout,forcing you to exercise muscles that don't get as much use during runs on firm surfaces.
You also might feel painful afterward because beaches tend to slope(倾斜)downward,toward the water. If you're going for a long run on the beach,you might notice that one side of your body-including your ankle,leg or knee-might feel more painful because you're putting more pressure on it due to the slope.
Some beach runners tend to run barefoot. However,if you're not used to barefoot running,start slowly and run short distances at first. That's because running barefoot uses different muscles than running with shoes does,and it's important to strengthen these muscles and adapt your feet.
Despite these challenges,running on sand can be a smart choice for athletes because running on it can decrease the bad influence on your body during high-intensity workouts. This could potentially lead to less muscle damage and less pain. Women had less myoglobin(肌红蛋白)--- a protein that can be a sign of muscle pain-in their blood after running on the sand than they did after running on grass. This suggests running on softer ground surfaces,such as sand,may reduce muscle damage.
【1】What makes running on sand difficult for starters?
A.The smooth surface.
B.The moving surface.
C.The sloping surface.
D.The hard surface.
【2】Which of the following best explains “upside” underlined in paragraph 2?
A.Advantage.
B.Reason.
C.Surprise.
D.Challenge.
【3】What should you avoid when trying running barefoot?
A.Starting slowly.
B.Adapting your feet.
C.Developing some muscles.
D.Running long distances.
【4】What is the benefit of running on sand to women?
A.Having no muscle damage.
B.Becoming much healthier.
C.Feeling less painful.
D.Having a good feeling.
28、Feelings are the emotional and physical responses to what we think about and how we react to daily events. Feelings are natural — we can’t stop them from happening. Because we are all different, we respond to feelings in various ways, sometimes positively and sometimes negatively. But if we are aware of our feelings, we can learn to respect ourselves and others.
There are many misunderstandings about feelings. For example, “ Feelings, that womanish stuff. ” Recognizing that feelings are real and natural for everyone is important. Some of us may never agree that feelings are a part of living. It may be difficult for some of us to talk about our feelings. Learning about personal feelings is important in building self-awareness and relationships with others. Most mentally healthy individuals learn to accept feelings, both good and bad.
“Feelings don’t exist, or they are dangerous. So no one should talk about them. ” Refusing to admit feelings can damage relationships. It can also build up emotions to the point when negative behaviors break out, for example, when an angry person hits the table. Not being able to talk to those we respect about our feelings may cause an emotional “shut down ” . Talking about personal feelings with your family may help. But if it doesn’t, you may need to talk about your feelings with someone else.
Instead of denying feelings, it is healthier to talk about them. One of the most important things you can do to create respect in a family is never to deny someone’s feelings. Try to spend time each day, perhaps at the dinner table or in a private chat, talking about feelings. Teach your children by example, like “ I feel afraid that you will be sleepy tomorrow if you don’t go to bed soon. ” Learn to be a good listener and show understanding.
【1】What is the feature of feelings?
A.They are negative.
B.They happen naturally.
C.They are dangerous.
D.They exist in women.
【2】Why does the author mention “ an angry person hits the table ” in Paragraph 3?
A.To tell a story.
B.To explain an idea.
C.To show a fact.
D.To give a definition.
【3】What is the author’s attitude toward talking about feelings?
A.Doubtful.
B.Negative.
C.Favorable.
D.Indifferent.
【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.Ways of sharing feelings in a family.
B.Effects of denying someone’s feelings.
C.Reasons for having respect in a family.
D.Importance of teaching kids about feelings.
29、 As traditional Chinese art,paper cutting has a long history. The first and earliest paper cutting was found in China 1 ,500 years ago. But this traditional art is at risk of disappearing now.
Luckily, Vivian Woo, a Chinese immigrant in America, is trying to bring this art back to life. One Saturday in 2017, Ms. Woo held a paper cutting show at a shopping center near Washington.

She said all the students at school had to learn paper cutting. But she had a deep love for it. So her teacher spent
more time teaching her after class. Later, she won the second prize in a national painting and art competition. Ms. Woo went to America after she finished college in 2008. Soon after that, she took part in an activity to promote Chinese paper cutting. And then she was invited to show the art in many important activities. “It is important to promote this art to Americans or anyone who is interested in it. Maybe it will make this art more popular. ”Woo said.
From the art of paper cutting, people can know about Chinese cultural values, history and stories of people' s life. Ms. Woo uses the art as a tool to show Chinese culture to people who know little about it.
