26、Each year, the US Social Security Administration releases a list of the most popular baby names of the year. Nearly every citizen is registered (登记) with the organization, making it easy to create an accurate list.
【1】 For example, names such as Dorothy (for girls) and Walter (for boys) were popular in the 1910s. But these days, these names are considered to be old-fashioned. 【2】 Other examples of old-fashioned names include Gladys and Ethel (for girls) and Howard and Clarence (for boys).
The list also shows which names are most common during a certain decade. 【3】 It happens to be my name.
But some more unusual names have increased in popularity in recent years. From 2016 to 2017, the names “Wells” and “Kairo” (for boys) and “Ensley” and “Oaklynn” (for girls) all became more popular. But these names are still quite rare compared to more ordinary names.
【4】 For example, the name “Isabella” saw a huge jump in popularity in 2009. This was because of the success of the Twilight film series, in which one of the main characters is named Isabella. 【5】
A.Even pop culture can influence how popular names become.
B.Some even refer to them as “old people names”.
C.Picking a name for their baby is often a headache for parents.
D.The list shows that society and culture change overtime.
E.It has been one of the most popular names in the US for almost a century.
F.For example, in the 1980s, when I was born, the most common name was Michael.
G.But it’s ordinary names like John and Jane that have always been popular and probably always will be.
27、If there is one thing I’m sure about,it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.It is not that newspapers are a necessity.Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday.But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change.What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories,the coverage of the wars,earthquakes and other disasters will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research,though.It’s already happening in areas that many directly affect our lives,like genetic (基因的) engineering.In the future,I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home.In fact,I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future.You will probably be able to choose from a menu,making up your own newspapers by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news,etc.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media (媒体).They actually feed off each other.Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers,but that hasn’t happened.What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air.And as for the Internet,it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.
【1】What will probably be in the newspaper made by yourself?
A.Sports and international news.
B.A menu of important news.
C.The most important news.
D.What you are interested in.

D.the writer believes some media will die out

A.depend on
B.compete with
C.fight with
D.kill off
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.The Best Way to Get News
B.The Changes of Media
C.Make Your Own Newspapers
D.The Future of Newspapers
28、Yoga (瑜伽) is a kind of sport. It is very popular around the world now. Everyone, young or old, men or women, can do yoga.
There are many reasons why people like yoga. First, yoga can build up your muscle. Your body will become stronger and more flexible. Second, yoga helps you get rid of stress. What's more, yoga can help your mind stay calm. To put it simply, the reason why so many people are falling in love with yoga is that they are discovering how wonderful it is for their mind, body and spirit.
Yoga began in India about 5,000 years ago. At that time, people wanted to be free, healthy and live a long life. As a result, this kind of exercise was born. The early yoga was part of the religion (宗教). It was usually taught one to one—one teacher and one student. Later, it was accepted by more people.
Yoga is an Indian word that means “to join together”. There are three parts of yoga altogether: exercise, breathing and meditation (冥想). In the past, people paid more attention to the spirit. The idea behind the exercise was to join the mind, body and spirit as one.
With the development of the exercise, more and more people are doing yoga as a way of keeping healthy. Among them, office ladies enjoy doing yoga most. Yoga can give them peace, help them feel relaxed and have fewer worries and illnesses.

29、Horseshoe crabs are often called living fossils. These primitive arthropods have lived on earth for 360 million years, largely in the same form as they appear today. Despite their long history, the horseshoe crab’s existence is now threatened by human activities, including harvesting for medical research.
Any time a foreign object or substance enters the human body, there’s a risk of introducing infection. If you’ve had a vaccination, a surgery of any kind, or had a medical device implanted in your body, you owe your very survival to the horseshoe crab.
Horseshoe crabs have copper-rich blood that appears to be striking blue in color. Proteins in the horseshoe crab’s blood cells are released in response to even the smallest amount of bacterial endotoxin (内毒素), such as E. coli. The presence of bacteria causes horseshoe crab blood to clot or gel, part of its hypersensitive immune response system.
In the 1960s, two researchers, Frederick Bang and Jack Levin, developed a method of using these coagulation (凝固) factors to test for contamination (污染) of medical devices. By the 1970s, their Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) test was being used commercially to make sure everything from scalpels (手术刀) to artificial hips (髋关节) is safe for introduction in the human body.
While such testing is crucial to safe medical treatments, the practice takes a toll on horseshoe crab populations. Horseshoe crab blood is in high demand, and the medical testing industry catches as many as 500,000 horseshoe crabs each year to drain them of their blood. The crabs aren’t killed outright in the process; they’re caught, bled, and released. But biologists suspect the stress results in a percentage of the released horseshoe crabs dying once back in the water. Fortunately, management practices are in place now to protect the species.
In addition to their value in medical research, horseshoe crabs fill important ecological roles. Their smooth, wide shells provide the perfect substrate (基质) for many other marine organisms to live on. As it moves along the ocean’s bottom, a horseshoe crab may be carrying mussels, barnacles, tube worms, sea lettuce, sponges, and even oysters. Horseshoe crabs deposit their eggs by the thousands along sandy shorelines, and many migratory shorebirds, including red knots, rely on these eggs as a source of fuel during their long flights.
【1】What feature of horseshoe crabs helps save lives?
A.They can improve their immune system.
B.Their blood is sensitive to bacteria.
C.They have copper-rich blood cells.
D.Their blood is striking blue.
【2】Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “take a toll on” in Paragraph 5?
A.Make use of.
B.Do harm to.
C.Run out of.
D.Contribute to.
【3】How are the ecological roles of horseshoe crabs explained in the last paragraph?
A.By giving examples.
B.By making a comparison.
C.By quoting experts.
D.By offering a definition.
【4】On which type of website can we possibly read this passage?
A.Science.
B.Travel.
C.Business.
D.Life.

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。
It was the first warm day of spring, and the sun poured over the hill that borders Doyle and Rose Martin's countryside property outside Mifflinburg. It had rained heavily the day before, melting the better part of the long winter's snow, and the sun was now taking care of what the rain left behind. Water was running down the hill, filling the normally shallow rivers until they nearly jumped their banks. The stream that ran through the Martins' yard was usually ankle deep, but now it coursed (奔流) angrily at an unexpected speed, up to a man's waist (腰). And the water was rather cold.
The Martin boys, Henry,11, and Greg,7, would not waste such a lovely afternoon. After the school bus dropped them off, they ran outside to ride bikes along the stream. They were what people call free-range kids. Doyle and Rose had three boys, and they expected their children to learn independence and responsibility, the older ones looking after the younger. Now, Henry and Greg were chasing (追逐) each other on their bikes with little Gardell, who was not yet two, playing nearby. Doyle, a truck driver, was away from home. Rose was busy in the kitchen, where she could check on the boys now and then through the window.
Suddenly Greg burst through the door, his face wet with tears. “I can't find Gardell!” He screamed. “He was just with me!”
Rose rushed outside immediately and ran around with Henry and Greg calling Gardell's name anxiously.
Their neighbor Bob was reading a newspaper by the window when he heard the shouts. He looked out and saw Rose and her two sons running and shouting wildly. “Something must have happened,” Bob thought to himself and went outside quickly.
“What's wrong?” He called out to the Martins.
“We can't find little Gardell!” Rose shouted back, half crying.
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。
Bob's heart sank.
“Here's Gardell!” Bob cried.
