After all, no matter how many pounds we have, we’re all trying not to lose hope.

27、When my sister. Helen Maclean, lived in Hensall, Ontario, many years ago, the Kippen East Women’s Institute decided to knit finger puppets (编织手指偶) for boys and girls having blood tests in the hospital. The gift of a puppet turned a fearful experience into a happy one. The puppets were created in many different colours and each one was given a special facial expression. These finger puppets were sent to a hospital in London, Ont., for many years.
After a few years, interest in making the knitted puppets waned (衰落) in the group, and it was discontinued for a time.
Some years later, when Helen moved to St. Catharines, Ontario, she heard about the IWK Health Centre in Halifax, who really wanted to receive some knitted finger puppet. Helen began kiting them again. As Helen finished each one , she would talk to it and tell it that soon it would belong (属于) some nice girl or boy—sometimes she even gave in a name. She has received a thank you letter from the hospital in Halifax, so she knows that her creations are welcome and appreciated (感激). The letter read in part:
“You have no idea the wonderful influence it has for some of the children, to receive a finger puppet. It has been known that some have kept it for a lifetime.”
In 2018, Helen moved to Harbor Hill, an assisted living home in Goderich, Ont. She continues to knit puppets that are sent to the Halifax hospital. When her nieces and nephews come to visit Ontario from Nova Scotia, she sends her newly knitted creations to Halifax with them. She has lost track of the number of the puppets she has made over the years, but right now, she has 100 more ready and waiting to send with her nice, who will be visiting soon.
When people see the finger puppets, they want to buy some for their grandchildren, but Helen is not interested in making money with them, she just wants to bring joy to boys and girls.
【1】What decision did the Kippen East Women’s Institute make?
A．Making finger puppets for kids receiving blood tests.

【2】How were Helen’s creations in the hospital in Halifax?
A．They brought joy to Helen when she stayed there.
B．They made much money for the hospital.
C．They were popular and influential.
D．They encouraged many people to help kids in need.
【3】What does the underlined part “lost track of” in Paragraph 5 mean?

【4】Which of the following can best describe Helen?
A．Honest and caring.

28、 Iran’s Lake Urmia was once the second-largest saltwater lake in the world, covering more than 2,000 square miles at its deepest in the 1990s. In the past two decades, the lake has dried out, decreasing at times to less than 20% of its average size.
It’s not a story of climate change, though that certainly contributed. It’s a case of water mismanagement. Researches blame water overuse and inefficiency in agriculture, new dams(大坝)and irrigation(灌溉)projects, a bridge cutting across the lake, declining rainfall and rising temperature for much of the drying out.
“For me this is a really important topic: the environmental problems in the world,” says photographer Maximilian Mann, who traveled to Iran three times. His photos are collected from all three trips.
Lake researchers say there have been encouraging signs in the past few years. This past spring, massive flooding in Iran helped the lake regain water level as well. Mann’s photos were taken before that flooding.
“The floods certainly helped and increased the water levels,” says Amir AghaKouchak, a professor at the University of California, who has studied the lake. “However, one or a series of floods won’t have a long-term influence. The main issue in the basin is that the water demand is much higher than the renewable water in the basin. If the water demand in the basin is not managed, after a while the lake will continue to dry out. And the situation remains really worrying.”
【1】How does the author begin the text?’
A．By giving an example.
B．By describing an event.
C．By making a comparison.
D．By expressing an opinion.
【2】Which of the following is a reason that contributed to the change of the lake?
A．Water overuse and inefficiency in industry.
B．Massive flooding.
C．Rising rainfall and declining temperature.
D．New dams and irrigation projects.
【3】What do we know about the lake?
A．It used to be the second largest lake in the world.
B．It had 2000 miles in depth in the 1990s.
C．It is linked to a new dam by a bridge.
D．It has regained some water level in the past few years.
【4】What is Amir AghaKouchak’s attitude toward the future of Iran’s Lake Urmia?
A．Pessimistic.
B．Hopeful.
C．Uncaring.
D．Unclear.
29、Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.
Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.
Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.
【1】We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.
A. depend on one sense in choosing food
B. are not satisfied with their food
C. choose food in similar ways
D. eat entirely different food
【2】Which of the following eats only one type of food?
A. The white butterfly. B. The small bird.
C. The bear. D. The fox.
【3】 Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________.
A. the season changes
B. the food color changes
C. they move to different places
D. they are attracted by different smells
【4】 We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.
A. food is chosen for a good reason
B. French and British food is good
C. some people have few choices of food
D. some people care little about healthy diet

Sarah’s school was holding a yoga contest. Sarah wanted to make her grandma proud. She kept practicing. Mountain pose. Standing still wasn’t that hard. She moved to her hands and knees and arched her back. Cat pose. These were easy, but the competition would be harder.
She lay on her belly and pushed up on her hands. Cobra pose. Her arms soon got tired and she sank to the floor. She turned to Grandma. “It’s hard, Grandma.” Sarah said, “How did you get to be so strong?” “Patience” Grandma smiled.
The next morning, Sarah was a frog. The pose made her thighs hurt and she wanted to stop. Then she remembered her grandma’s words. She took a deep breath and held the pose longer.
Sarah practiced a new pose every day. But first she went through the poses she had practiced the days before. She started to feel stronger. Her arms and legs stopped shaking.
The day of the yoga contest arrived. On the bus, Sarah’s stomach whirled like a summer wind. What if she couldn’t hold any poses? When the bus stopped at the gym, her heart was beating wildly.
“It is time to begin,” said their teacher. “Your first pose will be Eagle.” Sarah curled her left leg around her right leg. She bent her arms, winding one around the other. She reminded herself, Focus!
“Triangle Pose.” Sarah stood with her legs apart and arms at her sides. She slowly bent to the right. She then saw Grandma among the audience. Patience.
Camel pose. Bridge Pose. Bow pose, All went smoothly. “Your last pose is the Wheel.” Said their teacher. Sarah lay on her back with her knees bent, took a deep breath and pushed hard to raise her stomach towards the ceiling. A few more seconds and she would succeed.
