26、Cows produce much methane (甲烷), the world’s second worst greenhouse gas, as they break down the grass. They are a large source of the greenhouse gases that are driving climate change. Now scientists have shown the pollution from cows can be reduced by adding a little seaweed (海藻) to their food.
Recently, the researchers from the University of California studied 21 cows on a farm for about five months. They taught the cows to get their food from inside a special hood (罩), which allowed the scientists to know the amount of the methane the cows were giving off. They used a small amount of seaweed, which they mixed with the cows’ food.
The results were surprisingly good. In some cases, the cows produced 82% less methane. The improvement depended on the kind of food the cows were given. Even the worst-polluting cows produced 33% less methane. Over the five months, the scientists didn’t see any signs that the cows’ stomachs were getting used to the seaweed and starting to produce more methane again. What’s more, the cows that were fed seaweed gained just as much weight as the other cows.
But there are still some big problems with the idea of feeding cows seaweed. For one thing, there’s not enough seaweed to feed all of the cows in the world. So farmers would have to figure out a way to grow lots of seaweed. A bigger problem is that for most of their lives, cows live in the fields, where they eat grass. That means there’s no chance to feed them seaweed every day.
Still, it’s very good news that something as simple as feeding cows seaweed can help reduce some of the pollution causing the climate crisis.
【1】Why did the researchers carry out the study?
A．To improve the cows’ welfare.
B．To test the effects of the seaweed.
C．To measure the amount of methane produced by cows.
D．To discover healthier grass to reduce the pollution from cows.

A．The results of the study.
B．The process of the research.
C．The content of the experiment.
D．The information of the subjects.
【3】What is the biggest challenge in the researchers’ opinion?
A．Seaweed is pretty rare in the world.
B．It’s hard to mix seaweed with grass.
C．Cows fed with seaweed gained weight easily.
D．Cows can hardly have daily access to seaweed.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the findings?
A．Doubtful.
B．Negative.
C．Unclear.
D．Positive.
27、Once a general manager wanted to test his people, who had come from all over India, about their values of life. He announced that in their folders(文件夹), there is PVC pouch and in it there is a seed. When they return, they must put the seed in a pot with good soil and look after it very well. He would hold a competition at the next year’s seminar and the best plants would be awarded suitably.
Everyone did what was told to him. A year passed quickly. And the next year in a big hall, what a great scene! There were hundreds of pots and a great variety of plants-all except one. In this pot was soil, but no plant! The owner of the pot was standing quietly and feeling ashamed of himself.
The general manager called him on the stage. He asked him what happened and he told him the truth. He planted the seed, which he was given, and did what was to be done - but nothing happened!
The general manager declared(宣布) him the winner! Everyone was shocked.
It was announced, "Gentlemen! The seeds I gave you were boiled seeds. You planted them and nothing happened! You acted smartly and used some other seeds. This man was honest to his work and therefore, he did not cheat me or himself!"

28、Need to get rid of old clothes? You’re not alone: With fast fashion, it’s easier than ever to follow trends. But cheap clothes aren’t made to last, most of which often end up in a landfill (垃圾填埋场). Take US as an example: per person generates an average of 82 pounds of such waste every year, with 85 per cent of it going to landfills even though 95 per cent can be reused.
Donating is a popular alternative — but know that only about 10 to 20 per cent of donated clothing gets sold at thrift shops (廉价旧货店). While all but five per cent of donated clothes are resold for reuse or recycling, it’s impossible to know exactly how much ultimately becomes trash.
The best way to ensure good, usable clothing doesn’t become waste is to increase the chances it ends up with someone who wants it. First, don’t wait too long if you choose to donate clothing to an organization, big or small. The sooner you donate your unwanted items, the more demand there is for them. Wherever you donate, ensure clothes are clean and dry. If it’s damaged or stained, don’t send it to thrift shops. They don’t have the capacity to do repairs and it just creates a financial burden in addition to the eco-burden, and defeats the purpose of the charitable action.
Clothes that are stained or damaged beyond repair will likely never be re-worn but can still be diverted (使转向) from landfills. You can send your clothes directly to recycling companies, like through Retold Recycling or municipal programmes. Old clothes can be downcycled into other items like wipers for car washes, and even generated into new textiles (织品).
Recycling is better than landfilling. It might take time to do a little research to find the right organization that can actually use the items you’re looking to give away. But it’s more rewarding than throwing everything in a big garbage bag, dumping it into a bin, and hoping for the best.
【1】What can be learnt about fast fashion?
A．It has reduced the eco-burden.
B．It has caused clothing waste.
C．It has lost its appeal in the US.
D．It has led to a rise in landfills.
【2】Why is the US example mentioned?
A．To show the seriousness of the clothing waste.
B．To criticize the spending habits of Americans.
C．To push for tougher laws against fast fashion.
D．To offer practical advice on managing landfills.
【3】What does the author suggest people do with old clothes?
A．Make them into new textiles.
B．Put as many into landfills as possible.
C．Downcycle them into wipers.
D．Donate them to where they are needed.
【4】How does the author sound regarding recycling?
A．Critical.
B．Indifferent.
C．Supportive.
D．Unclear.
29、“Your playful days are over,” my brother said to me when he knew I was going to be a Senior One student. Then he continued telling me that senior school life was boring because I had to do a large amount of homework every day. The subjects were much more difficult than those of junior school.
I stepped into the school gate with a nervous heart. However, I was surprised to find what I experienced there was completely different from what my brother had told me.
The teachers gave excellent lessons in their own special way. They talked with me in a natural and fair way, as if I was an adult. All of them are so knowledgeable (学识渊博) and they not only explained the contents of textbooks but also provided extra information from other sources. Every word they said in classes made me so excited and interested that I had a strong desire to take in as much as I could.
In fact, my playful days were not over at all in senior school. There were many kinds of activities I could take part in. For example, sports meetings, the art festival, English corner, outing and so on. Best of all, generally, students organized the activities rather than teachers. Through this process, I improved my leadership abilities and communication skills. I've become mature (成熟的). I am not a kid any more.
Now if anyone asks me: “Through your process of growing up, which part is most impressive up till now?” Well, the answer will absolutely be my “senior high school life”.
【1】How did the writer feel when he started his senior high school?
A．Very excited.
B．A little worried.
C．Quite relaxed.
D．Embarrassed.
【2】What was the writer's general impression of his teachers?
A．Strict and organized.
B．Modest and hardworking.
C．Learned and easy going.
D．Helpful and kind-hearted.
【3】What has the writer learned by joining in different after-class activities?
A．Reading and writing skills.
B．The understanding of textbooks
C．Leadership and social skills.
D．Doing housework.
【4】What can you learn from the last paragraph?
A．His senior school life is the most memorable.
B．Senior school life was boring and tiring.
C．He will no longer believe in his brother.
D．The writer did well in all his subjects.
30、In life, do you choose to take the road everyone has taken, or do you choose the path that is best for you? It might be_________ to choose what everyone has done, especially if it seemed to work for them. But is that what truly_______ for you?
On a recent hiking trip, my partner and I decided to take a popular trail in the________ direction. This was an old, well-traveled trail that people had been hiking and biking from A to Z for years. For our own reasons, we chose to travel from Z to A. Going backwards made more sense with my _______. The trip would take several days and going backwards _______ that I would end the trip closer to the airport for my flight home.
As my partner and I walked, everyone crossing our path had something to say, “You’re going the wrong way. Are you lost? Are you returning _______ you forgot something? Are you crazy? ” The path occasionally crossed a highway. When it did, even passing cars beeped (鸣笛)to ________ us in the “right” direction.
Why did people only see one way? Because that’s what______ does? Because that’s how it’s always been done? We even ________ to talk to a Danish woman who said, “We have a saying in my country: when you go backwards to everyone else, it’s because you’re avoiding something.” I couldn’t ______ it. We were just enjoying connecting with nature, hiking in the way that best ________ us. Had we gone the “wrong” way? No. At least, not for us.
I decided to _______ the path I chose. Finally, we had a(n)_______experience. Choosing the “wrong” path was right for me.

31、课文填空
The second fruit of friendship is the better understanding and judgement that may be achieved through conversations with 【1】 and wise friends.

On the other hand, our friends are better able to offer advice on important decisions 【3】 we all have to make. Also, when we want to talk our problems over with a friend, we have to put our thoughts 【4】 words first. This alone helps make our thoughts clearer and brings us a more 【5】 understanding of our problems.
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。续写的词数应为150左右。
After I finished my senior year, I got a part-time job working at a local coffee shop. I had thought that the job would be easy and, for the most part, stress-free. I pictured myself pouring the best delicious coffees, and becoming close friends with the regular customers.
What I hadn't counted on were the people with many orders who chose to use the drive-through window, or the customers who felt there was always too much sugar, too little ice, or not enough skimmed milk. There were moments when I was annoyed. However, I kept at it.
On a rainy day, one of my regular customers came in looking depressed and defeated. I asked what the problem was and if I could help, but the customer wouldn't tell any details. He just said he felt like pulling the sheets up over his head in the bed, and staying in it for a few years. I knew exactly how he felt.
Before he left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee. He looked at me questioningly because he hadn't ordered anything but the coffee. He opened the bag and saw that I had given him his favourite type of doughnut.
“It's on me,” I told him. “Have a nice day.”
He smiled and thanked me before turning around and heading back out into the rain.
The next day was a horrible one. The rain poured down and everyone seemed to be using the drive-through window. I spent my afternoon leaning out of the window, and handing people their orders. I tried to smile but it was difficult, as they sat in their temperature-controlled cars with the windows rolled up, while I dealt with huge drops of water hanging from my hat, and a shirt that was entirely wet around the collar. On top of that, no one felt like tipping that day. Every time I looked into our tip jar, with its small amount of pennies, I grew more depressed.
Paragraph 1:
Around seven o'clock, however, my day took a turn for the better.
