26、 A handwritten letter by a little boy asking Santa for a “very good dad” has captured hearts worldwide.
The boy, known only as “Blake” in the letter, wrote, “Dear Santa, We had to leave our house. Dad was mad. We had to do all the chores. Dad got everything he wanted. Mom said it was time to leave and she would take us to a safer place where we don’t have to be scared.”
“Blake is a 7-year-old boy in one of our shelters, and his mom found this letter in his backpack...” Posted by SafeHaven of Tarrant County on Wednesday, December 18, 2019.
“I’m still nervous. I don’t want to talk to the other kids,” he continued. “Are you going to come this Christmas? Can you bring a dictionary, and a compass and a watch?”
The most heart-wrenching part of the letter was the last line that read, “I also want a very very very good dad. Can you do that too?”
Officials with SafeHaven of Tarrant County, a group seeking to help end domestic (家庭的) violence, posted Blake’s letter to its Facebook page. Now, some of the child’s wishes have come true. All of the gifts he asked for have been donated by people in the community. Though SafeHaven received more than 10,000 gifts this year, they want to shine a light on the bigger issue of domestic violence.
“To us, it was kind of a story that we’ve heard all the time,” Kathryn Jacob, the organization’s president and CEO, told Today. “Like tonight, we have 73 kids in the shelter. Blake is just one of many.”
【1】The little boy asked Santa for a “very good dad” because ________.
A.his dad was too strict with him B.he was forced to do all the chores
C.he was ill-treated by his dad D.his dad didn’t buy him any gifts
【2】What do we know about SafeHaven?
A.It has received a lot of concern so far. B.It provides services for homeless children.
C.It posted Blake’s letter without permission. D.Part of its goal is to earn money.
【3】What is Kathryn Jacob’s purpose by saying the words in the last paragraph?
A.To advertise their shelter. B.To introduce their shelter.
C.To tell more information about Blake. D.To draw attention to domestic violence.
27、 Cancelled school, daycare and sports activities means that children are eating all of their meals and snacks at home. 【1】, social distancing also brings new opportunities.
Studies have found that children who regularly eat family dinners consume more fruits and vegetables, and fewer unhealthy foods than children who don’t. They’re also less likely to be overweight, and more likely to say no to smoking and drugs.
Being stuck at home also provides an opportunity for parents to teach children cooking skills that they can carry into adulthood. 【2】, and teaches them nutrition and food safety. And, research suggest, doing so may help children overcome picky eating by becoming more accepting of new foods. Besides, cooking and baking can be fun ways spend time while bonding with family.
【3】, however, healthy eating guidelines are the same for children and adults. Meals should be planned around healthy protein foods, vegetables and fruits, whole grains and healthy fats. It can be challenging, though, to feed children three well-balanced, nutritious meals day after day during the corona-virus crisis.
When you’re too stressed or too tired to cook, it’s easy to sometimes fall back on children-friendly meals, such as frozen pizza, pasta and cheese, or chicken fingers. That’s perfectly okay; these aren’t normal times.
【4】. For example, offer sliced fruit or raw vegetables with the meal or heat up frozen peas to serve with chicken fingers.
As much as possible, keep a routine(常规)around your children’s meal and snack times, which helps to discourage snacking throughout the day.【5】
A.While this can add a new stress for parents
B.That’s why it’s helpful to have some extra time at home
C.Kitchen activities may require children’s patience as they learn
D.Children at different ages need different amounts of specific nutrients
E.Sticking to a schedule allows children to feel hungry for their next meal
F.Involving children in the kitchen helps them learn where food comes from
G.When that’s the case, plan easy ways to improve the nutritional quality of meals
28、 In November,a cold,unseen stranger that killed many people came to visit the city..
Johnsy lay on her bed,seriously ill.Her friend Sue saw she was looking out the window and counting-counting backward.”Twelve,”she said,and a little later”eleven”;and then”ten”and”nine”;and then”eight”“and”seven,”almost together.
Sue looked out the window.An old ivy vine(常青藤),going bad at the roots,climbed half way up the wall.The cold breath of autumn had stricken leaves from the plant until its branches, almost bare(光秃秃的),hung on the bricks.
“What is it,dear?”asked Sue.
“Leaves.On the plant.When the last one falls I must go,too.”
“Oh,what have old ivy leaves to do with your getting well?Try to eat some soup now,”said Sue.”And,I must call Mister Behrman up to be my model for my drawing.Don’t try to move until I come back.”
Old Behrman was a painter who lived on the ground floor.Behrman was a failure in art.For years,he had always been planning to paint a work of art,but had never yet begun it.He was a fierce(暴躁的),little,old man who protected the two young women in the studio apartment above him.
Sue told him about Johnsy and how she feared that her friend would float away like a leaf.
Old Behrman was angered at such an idea.”This is not any place in which one so.good as Miss Johnsy shall lie sick,”yelled Behrman.”Some day I will paint a masterpiece,and we shall all go away.”
The next morning,Johnsy and Sue were surprised to find there yet stood against the wall one ivy leaf after the beating rain and fierce wind that blew through the night.It was the last one on the vine.It was still dark green at the center.But its edges were colored with the yellow.It hung bravely from the branch about seven meters above the ground.
“It is the last one,”said Johnsy.”It will fall today and I shall go at the same time.”
But the next morning,the ivy leaf was still there.Johnsy lay for a long time,looking at it. And then she called to Sue,who was preparing chicken soup.”
Something has made that last leaf stay there to show me how bad I was.It is wrong to want to die.You may bring me a little soup now.”said Johnsy.
The next day,the doctor came,and told Sue Johnsy was out of danger.
Later that day,Sue came to the bed where Johnsy lay,and put one arm around her.”Mr. Behrman died of pneumonia(肺炎)today.He was sick only two days.They found him the morning of the first day in his room downstairs helpless with pain.His shoes and clothing were completely wet and icy cold.They could not imagine where he had been on such a terrible night. And then they found a lantern,still lighted.And a ladder that had been moved from its place. And art supplies and a painting board with green and yellow colors mixed on it.”
“Look out the window,dear,at the last ivy leaf on the wall.Didn’t you wonder why it never moved when the wind blew?Ah,darling,it is Behrman’s masterpiece-he painted it there the night that the last leaf fell.”

29、Every year, over 7.72 trillion kilograms of plastic is washed into the oceans. There are five huge areas in the world’s oceans that are a “soup” of floating rubbish. One of these areas, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP), is three times as large as France.
Over a year ago, a group called Ocean Cleanup began using a huge floating screen to try to clean up plastic pollution in the ocean. After several failures, the group is now collecting plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. But the plastic is spreading out over a large area, so it's impossible to collect it piece by piece. So, the Ocean Cleanup had a plan. They got a long floating U-shaped tube with a screen hanging below it. As the tube and screen are pushed by the water and the winds, the U is meant to collect plastic rubbish, making it easy for a ship to collect and remove the plastic. The system uses the power of the wind and ocean, so it doesn’t need fuel.
The group began testing the first version, called “System 001”, last September. But it soon became clear that the screen was just moving with the plastic, not collecting it. Sometimes plastic would wash over the top of the tube. Even worse, System 001 got broken by surging seas and had to be towed to Hawaii for repairs.
But Mr. Slat, who got the idea for the Ocean Cleanup system, sees the project as an experiment, which means a failure is a chance to learn. The team collected and studied lots of information about what worked well and what didn’t. Then they changed the design. In June, an improved version, called “System001/B” was towed back to the GPGP.
The new version has a parachute (降落伞) attached to it. This makes the system move slightly slower than the plastic, allowing the plastic to be collected inside, as planned. But this success is still just the beginning of the work of the Ocean Cleanup. They want a better and larger system.
【1】What does the author want to show in Paragraph 1?
A.Humans should try to prevent plastic waste.
B.The GPGP is facing different kinds of pollution.
C.Plastic pollution in the oceans has become a serious problem.
D.A series of problems has been caused by plastic pollution.
【2】What was the group’s plan?
A.To make use of the water and the winds.
B.To create a ship to collect waste in the oceans.
C.To collect the floating plastic waste piece by piece.
D.To gather up the floating plastic waste in the oceans.
【3】What can we know about the “System001”?
A.It was a failure.
B.It was a great success.
C.It worked with a parachute.
D.It needed to be fueled regularly.
【4】What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 3?
A.vast
B.rough
C.calm
D.peaceful
