27、“Charlieeeeeeee, do your homework now!” his mother was shouting.
Charlie thought, “Well she doesn’t have to do it.” and he spent hours with his books, hoping that time would pass and it would soon be time for supper. As usual, he was lying on his bed, busy staring at the ceiling, daydreaming. Suddenly some little elves (精灵), no more than a centimetre tall, appeared by the window.
One of the elves asked Charlie politely to give them his homework so they can play with it.
Charlie agreed and watched his guests, and was so surprised to see what they did. In less than a minute, they had formed teams and were busy playing with the pen, the eraser, the book, and the pad of paper. Very strange stuff they were getting up to. Like with the sums, instead of moving the pen across the paper, they would hold the pen still and move the paper instead. Or like how they had races to see who could do the sums fastest. They also used well-known songs to learn the words to them.When they had done that they put on a big concert to sing those songs.
Charlie really enjoyed watching those little students. He even joined in with the singing.
“Aww, this is so much fun...”
“Of course, it’s fun! Why don’t you try it for a few days yourself? We’ll all come back to see you again from time to time.”
“Deal!” agreed Charlie.
So, every evening, Charlie started playing with his homework, inventing new and crazier ways to make it more fun. He would sing loads of songs and do all manner of other things too. Now and again, his elf friends would turn up.
Neither Charlie’s parents, nor his teachers, nor anyone in the whole school could understand the great change in him. From that day on, not only did he spend a lot more time doing homework, he did it perfectly. He was very happy, and was always singing. His mother told him how proud she was at seeing him work so hard.
But Charlie said to himself, “Well, she doesn’t have to do it. It’s fun!”
【1】What did Charlie think of his homework at first?
A.It’s difficult.
B.it’s boring.
C.It’s tiring.
D.It’s upsetting.
【2】What did the elves do after they appeared in Charlie’s room?

C.They finished Charlie’s homework in a fun way.
D.They tried to stop charlie doing his homework.
【3】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 7 refer to?

28、They come in all shapes and sizes, in color of golden orange, pale white, and green. Painted, carved, or baked in a pie, pumpkins are cheerful symbols of autumn that are grown in every county of Washington.
U. S. farmers grow more than a billion pounds of pumpkins annually, and many growers use sheets of plastic preventing water loss to make sure that their plants grow well. Nationwide, farmers use about a billion pounds of plastic annually. Unfortunately, that plastic ends up in landfills(填埋场), and in some places, burned in the fields.
For several years, WSU gardener Carol Miles has studied a newer product, soil-biodegradable(可降解的) plastic cover that can be left in the ground after harvest, then broken down by microbes in the soil. “You don’t need to pull it out of the field and take it to the landfill every autumn, saving farmers’ time and money, ”Miles said.
Miles wanted to see how pumpkin fruit performed over the plastic. She planted Cinnamon Girl, a type that sets its fruit near the heart of the plant. That brought a challenge: the soil-biodegradable cover stuck to the bottom of the fruit.
“We have a lot of dew(露水)in the morning, and we found that if we let the fruit dry after harvest, the cover would stick to the pumpkins, ”Miles said. “Nobody wants plastic stuck to their pumpkin, even if it’s biodegradable. But if you clean the fruit before the dew dries, the plastic easily comes off. ”
Farmers who grow pumpkins that don’t set fruit on cover won’t encounter this challenge. For those who do, it means an extra step that they’ll have to weigh against trade-offs for sustainability(持续).
M Challenges aside, working with this crop can bring on a happy outlook, ”Tymon said. u Pumpkins are cheery. They’re this bright color, and really fun to work with.”
【1】What is the problem with pumpkin growing?
A.Few good types.
B.Pollution of waste plastic.
C.Not enough money and time.
D.Difficulty of growing all shapes.
【2】Which of the following is an advantage of Miles’ invention?
A.Easy to use.
B.Cheap to buy.
C.Good for crops.
D.Environmentally friendly.
【3】What should farmers do to keep the pumpkins free of plastic remains?
A.Plant them on plastic cover.
B.Plant them without plastic.
C.Clean them while they’re wet.
D.Cover them tightly with plastic.
【4】Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “encounter” in paragraph 6?
A.Come across.
B.Watch over.
C.Pull through.
D.Cut down.
29、On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Clarke, dressed for going out, took her handbag with her money and her key in it, pulled the door behind her to lock it and went to the over 60s Club. She always went there on Thursdays. It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone.
At six o’clock she came home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke in her house? How? How? Had someone got in? She checked the back door and the windows. All were locked or fastened, as usual. There was no sign of forced entry.
Over a cup of tea she wondered whether someone might have a key that fitted her front door — “______” perhaps. So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements? On the Thursday after that she went out at her usual time, dressed as usual, but she didn’t go to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again, letting herself in through her garden and the back door. She settled down to wait.
It was just after four o’clock when the front door bell rang. Mrs. Clarke was making a cup of tea at the time. The bell rang again, and then she heard her letter-box being pushed open. With the kettle of boiling water in her hand, she moved quietly towards the front door. A long piece of wire appeared through the letter-box, and then a hand. The wire turned and caught around the handle on the door-lock. Mrs. Clarke raised the kettle and poured the water over the hand. There was a shout outside, and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove. The wire fell to the floor, the hand was pulled back, and Mrs. Clarke heard the sound of running feet.
