26、PART THREE READING PREHENSION （共15小题；每小题 2分，满分30分）
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.
A
With school out and hot weather in, it’s not unusual for youngsters to gather around the refrigerator or the television rather than take part in active play. Such habits may be relaxing but can wreck a healthy lifestyle, say specialists at Texas Children’s Hospital.
“For some kids, the state of feeling bored triggers（引发）eating,” says Jennifer Thomas, a doctor at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, Texas. “A child can pick up 5 to 10 pounds over the course of a summer, so it’s important to recognize the difference between boredom（无聊）and hunger.”
Because children may be adjusting（适应）to lack of routine, adding some structure to their daily schedules can help. “For example, instead of letting kids eat while they watch television, permit eating only in the kitchen with the television turned off,” says Thomas. “This way can help determine if they are really hungry or just bored.”
If hunger causes a snack attack, nutritious snacks should be available（可得到的）and easy to reach, says Thomas. She suggests two or more servings of fruit and three or more servings of vegetables as a reasonable（合情理的）daily goal. Thomas says, “Fresh or frozen fruit is better than fruit juice. Fresh or frozen vegetables are better because canned vegetables usually contain salt.”
In general, kids should avoid snacks with high sugar content, says Thomas. “More importantly, if a sugary snack takes the place of healthier food, the child is not getting the nutrition he or she needs. High-fat food tends to make a child feel worried, while eating foods that are naturally lower in fat will make it easier for kids to feel more energetic and stay on the go.”
【1】What can help to stop children from eating because of boredom?
A. Giving them a daily schedule.
B. Giving them a lot of snacks.
C. Preventing them from watching TV.
D. Making them eat a lot of fruits.
【2】What kind of snacks should we give children?
A. Fruit juice.
B. Frozen fruit.
C. Canned vegetables.
D. Snacks rich in sugar.
【3】Foods that are naturally lower in fat are necessary for children because _______.
A. they help children lose weight
B. they help children get necessary nutrition
C. they stop children from getting bored
D. they make children active and energetic
【4】We can infer from the text that _______.
A. it’s hard to tell the difference between boredom and hunger
B. children may get bored for lack of routine in summer
C. we should limit children’s eating while they’re watching TV
D. nutritious snacks should be available at any time
【5】The underlined word “wreck” in Paragraph 1 probably means“_______”.
A. improve B. change C. ruin D. include
27、 We once had a poster competition in our fifth-grade art class.
“You could win prizes,” our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing, “The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster.”
We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us. I’m going to spend mine on candies, one hopeful would announce, while another practiced looking serious, wise and rich.
Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewer’s attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students’ desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then always—always—rewarding the same old winners.
I believe I drew a sailboat, but I can’t say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen, and then I turned it in.
Minutes passed.
No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted me, and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.
I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, what poster? When the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.
【1】What was the teacher’s requirement for the poster?
A.It must appear in time. B.It must be done in class.
C.It must be done on a construction sheet. D.It must include the words on the blackboard.
【2】The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.
A.formed an idea for B.made an outline for
C.made some space for D.chose some colors for
【3】We can infer from the passage that the author ________.
A.enjoyed grown up tricks very much B.loved poster competitions very much
C.felt surprised to win the competition D.became wise and rich after the competition
28、 One ambitious high school student knew exactly how to show his family that he got accepted into his dream college—by surprising them on Christmas Day.
Barrington Lincoln, class president at Lutheran High School North in Ferguson, got accepted into Morehouse College in Atlanta back on Dec. 15. But for months, he knew he wanted to make the news known in a big way to his mother and aunt, Lincoln told ABC News. “I thought of the surprise in October,” he said, adding that once he got accepted, he would purchase two school T-shits from Morehouse’s online store.
On Christmas Day, in a now video on Twitter, Lincoln, 17, gifted his mom Lisa McDonald and his aunt Shirley Gray the T-shirts with the school’s name on it. When the two sisters opened the gifts, they had no idea what they meant.
In the video, Lincoln nudges (用肘轻推) his family, “You know what that means right? I got in!” While McDonald falls heavily on the couch in delight, Gray asks, “You’ve been holding out on us?”
“I didn’t expect anything like that,” McDonald told ABC News. “It’s so satisfying to see him get the return on his studying.” “He always wanted to be the first in line and help everybody stay in line,” his mother added.
McDonald said it’s especially sweet since she had to wok an extra job to afford his private school after his father, a former Marine, passed away in 2015. Lincoln was only 15.
【1】What did Lincoln choose two T-shits for his mother and aunt mainly for?
A.To give them a Christmas gift. B.To tell them his academic success.
C.To show be loves them forever. D.To show he had grown up already.
【2】How did Lincoln’s mother and aunt feel when they saw his presents?
A.Embarrassed. B.Disappointed. C.Satisfied. D.Puzzled.
【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined sentence “You’ve ben holding out on us”?
A.You’ve been keeping it a secret from us. B.You’ve been telling a lie to the two of us.
C.You’ve been playing a joke with two of us. D.You’ve been longing to tell us the truth,
【4】What can we infer from the text?
A.The video had been popular before Dec. 15.
B.Lincoln bought the T-shirts in the local supermarket.
C.Lincoln’s mother felt her efforts paid off at last.
D.Lincoln’s parents could hardly afford his education.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Two months ago, Ryder Killam, a 15-year-old French boy was registered in a new school in Hawaii. He just moved there with his parents. Although he missed his old friends very much, he managed to adapt to his new school life and soon made a lot of friends.
However, waiting for the school bus every morning often meant a real suffering because Ryder was born with spina bifida （脊柱裂）and he has to live in a wheelchair. Hawaii is one of the rainiest places in the world. This is not an issue for other students, but for him this was a different story. He often got wet all over before the school bus arrived during the rainy days. In that case, he could only have classes with wet clothes on or called his parents to send dry clothes to school and finding a place to get changed was also a big challenge for this disabled boy.
To keep Ryder protected from the bad weather while waiting for the bus every morning, the students in Ryder's school decided to take action. They first uploaded a post on Facebook asking for an unused bus shelter but got no reply.
Not being able to find one, the students from the construction class decided to take on the challenge of building a customized bus shelter for him and quickly put their hands to work.
As part of the high school's Career and Technical Education program, the construction class teaches its students basic building skills. Its main goal is to provide students with tools and skills that will have real applications in future jobs and a meaningful impact on their community. They had already performed several building projects for the community. Two years ago, they managed to build dozens of shelters for stray cats in the local park. Soon enough, they came up with an idea of building a two-window shelter for Ryder.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
However, these teenagers found building this bus shelter was no easy job.
