26、 Montreal may have more media connections and commercial(商业的)activities, but Quebec City has something else: the French Canadian identity and soul(灵魂).You can get a taste of the city in a single day but stay at least a weekend if you can.The little city shines brightest when you slow down.
The beautiful old town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, sits above the St Lawrence River.It is a living museum of narrow stone streets, 17th-and-18th-century houses and churches.The Notre - Dame- de- Quebec was the first church in North America.It got its start as a small Catholic church in 1647 but has been rebuilt repeatedly to repair damages from wars, including the British-French war of 1759.
No matter whether it's summer or winter, people in Quebec City love to get outdoors-and the perfect place to join them is at Battlefields Park.Covering 2.3 km2.Battlefields Park was once the largest fort(堡垒)in North America.It was built by the French in the 1750s and completed by the British in 1850 to defend against an American invasion that never came.In summer, actors in costume bring this history to life on Abraham’s Bus Tour.Year-round creative multimedia programs achieve a similar effect at the park gate.
Quebec City also tries its best to entertain its visitors.All summer and fall long,musicians and actors in costumes take to the streets, while fantastic festivals fill the air with fireworks and songs.In the coldest months of January and February, Quebec's Winter Carnival has the biggest and most colorful winter parties around Canada.

28、 Humans produce 300 million tons of plastic waste every year -which is roughly equivalent (相当于) to the total weight of all humans living right now. But a new discovery offers hope, and could improve the way we deal with plastic.
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have designed a plastic that can be recycled (回收) over and over again, and turned into new materials of any color, shape, or form. They are calling it polydiketoenamine or PDK, and this new plastic can be broken apart all the way down to the molecular (分子的) level.
Brett Helms, the staff scientist at the Berkeley Lab who led the research, told ABC News that the new discovery “could significantly reduce the leakage (泄漏) of plastics into the environment.”
“That broken black watchband you threw in the rubbish could find new life as a computer keyboard if it’s made with our PDK plastics”, Helms said.
Many plastics used today were made with chemicals that make them stronger, but these chemicals can also make it more difficult to fully recycle the material or recycle them repeatedly. Over time, researchers say, even ‘recyclable’ plastics may end up in a landfill.
The Berkeley Lab says these types of chemicals had previously prevented plastic from achieving “the holy grail of recycling,” and that PDK plastic might be the answer.
“If these factories were designed to recycle or upcycle PDK and related plastics, then we would be able to more effectively remove plastic from landfills and the oceans,” Helms said.
Researchers say the next plan is to develop PDK plastics to use in cloth, building materials, and 3D printing.
The researcher’s findings are published in full in Nature Chemistry.
【1】What is the clear advantage of PDK plastics over many plastics used today?
A.PDK plastics are light.
B.PDK plastics are strong.
C.PDK plastics can be recycled repeatedly.
D.PDK plastics are used the most widely in the world.
【2】According to Helms, a computer keyboard thrown into rubbish ________.
A.is useless B.can be recycled
C.can be used again D.is not made with PDK plastics
【3】The underlined words “the holy grail” in the passage probably mean ________.
A.the final goal B.the new discovery
C.the bad condition D.serious pollution
【4】What are the researchers going to do next?
A.Publish their findings. B.Find new ways to use PDK plastics.
C.Sell their new discovery. D.Produce more PDK plastics.
29、 Leap days（闰日）play an important role in keeping our calendars on track. It's all thanks to Julius Caesar.
Most years, the calendar is made up of 365 days. However, the Earth's turning around the sun is actually a little longer than that. It's about 365 1/4 days. This makes the calendar year a bit shorter than a solar year. If you're trying to set up an exact system for measuring the passing of time and changing seasons, this throws small trouble in the work. That was back in 46 B. C. when Julius Caesar was developing what came to be known as the Julian Calendar. He decided that every four years an extra day would be added to the calendar on the advice of an astronomer, Sosigenes.
At first, Caesar's way seems simple and direct. You “bank” those extra quarter days for a few years, and then spend them on a leap day. But as the centuries went on, people began to notice something was wrong—it was speeding ahead of the solar year. By the end of the 16th century, the calendar year had been as much as 10 days ahead. The solar year is actually a little shorter than Caesar and Sosigenes thought. “It's not exactly a quarter of an extra day. It's a little less,” says physicist Judah Levine. “So adding one day every four years was too much.”
Astronomers now know that a solar year is actually 365. 24219 days long. This may not seem like much under the Julian Calendar, but that little mistake led to about 11 minutes off a year. So in 1582, Pope Gregory decided to reset the calendar. He came up with something called “the century rule”. If the number of years is a multiple（倍数）of 100 and is divisible（可整除的）by 400, and if the number of years is not a multiple of 100 and is divisible by 4, an extra day is added. Pope Gregory was also responsible for setting leap day as February 29.
The calendar won't skip（跳跃）another leap year until 2100. That little setup has kept our calendars fairly accurate（精确的）for over 400 years.
【1】Who first came up with the idea of leap days?
A．Sosigenes.
B．Julius Caesar.
C．Pope Gregory.
D．Judah Levine.
【2】What is the purpose of setting up leap days?
A．To add one extra day to every year.
B．To make the Julian Calendar unique.
C．To teach people a method of saving time.
D．To make the calendar year equal to the solar year.
【3】What's wrong with the Julian Calendar?
A．It couldn't direct people in actual life.
B．It didn't completely agree with the solar year.
C．The calendar year was late more than 10 days.
D．It's not enough to add a leap day every 4 years.
【4】What year is a leap year?
A．1900.
B．1986.
C．2024.
D．2038.

32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I grew up in a small town where elementary school was a ten-minute walk from my house and in an age, not so long ago, when we children could go home for lunch and find our mothers waiting. At the time, I didn't consider this to be so important, although today it certainly would be. Actually, our lunch time together in the past years had had a great influence on my life before I realized it.
Our lunch time when I was in the third grade will stay with me always. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had painstakingly practiced my lines (台词) with me. But no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained patiently that she needed a narrator and had written a narrator's part to the play, and asked me to play the role of the narrator. Her words, kindly delivered, still hurt me especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn't tell mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my upset, and instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard. It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine (藤) was turning green. Under the huge trees, we could see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) appearing unexpectedly through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with small amounts of gold. I watched my mother casually bend down by one of the bushes. “I think I'm going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling a blossom up by all its roots. “From now on, we'll only have roses in this garden.' I immediately argued, "But I like dandelions. All flowers are beautiful — even dandelions."
