26、 I was on the way to my friend’s house. She lives at the top of a high hill. Up the hill, my four-year-old daughter, Colette, refused to take another step, and as a mother, I had to carry her on my back. Unluckily, we were stuck halfway.
The road to my friend’s house is so narrow that drivers, upon discovering it’s a dead end for a car, have to go back down the hill because there’s no place to turn around. That happened to me once, which was why I just walked here today. But we were still stuck.
I saw a man approaching. “Do me a favor. My finger was cut. Please call 911,” the man said. With his left hand, he put his handkerchief (手帕) around his bloody right hand and held it up.
“No phone,” I said, as if English were also my second language. “I have a phone,” he said, and lowered his chin toward his front pocket. I didn’t want to reach my hand there, but the blood did look real. In his pocket, I found a phone. I took it out. I was afraid that it was dangerous to stand there, so I stepped back out of arm’s reach, and then called 911.
A woman operator answered, and after I gave her the address, I said, “I’m here with this guy, and he said he cut his finger.”
“Is it bad?” the operator asked. “Yes. It’s bad.” I told her. The operator asked again, “Did he cut it off?” Now, there was a question I hadn’t thought of. “Did you cut it off?” I asked the man. He answered immediately, “Yes.” He breathed a sigh of relief as he finally made someone understand the situation.
I told the operator, “Yes. He cut it off.” “Keep the finger,” she told me, “the ambulance will be there in a minute!” Finally, the ambulance picked up the man and we struggled to reach my friend’s house.

28、Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “peak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees—anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.
At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”
【1】The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to ________.

29、Ice-coated vines (葡萄藤) stretched across hillsides around Chablis, France, as the region woke Monday to the temperature of -5℃. Fruit growers are worried that the frost will kill off large numbers of early buds (花蕾) and disturb the whole growing season.
The frost is particularly disturbing after a similar phenomenon hit French vineyards last year, leading to some 2 billion euros in losses. Scientists later found that the damaging 2021 frost was made more likely by climate change.
Some growers tried to warm the vines with electrical lines, or set up special watering systems, or sprayed (酒) the buds with water to protect them from frost. The water creates a thin layer of ice that ensures the buds’ temperature remains around freezing point but does not drop much lower.
Daniel Defaix, whose vineyard has been producing wine for 400 years and lived through many climate disasters, calls what’s happening now “a very, very serious frost.” He placed candles on the soil to protect about five hectares of his most valuable grapes, but had to leave the remaining 25 hectares to face the forces of nature. At a cost of 10 euros per candle, and 600 candles per hectare, it was too costly to save the rest of the grapes.
The 2021 April frost led to what French government officials described as “probably the greatest agricultural disaster of the beginning of the 21st century.” The pattern was similar: an intense April 6 — 8 frost after a lengthy warm period in March.
The researchers concluded that the warming caused by humans had coaxed the plants so that they exposed their young leaves earlier than usual, before a burst of Arctic cold reached Europe in April.
【1】What did Daniel Defaix do to protect his vines?
A.Heat the vines with electrical lines.
B.Spray the buds with water.
C.Set up special watering systems.
D.Warm the vines with candles.
【2】What can we infer from the text?

B.The 2022 frost is the worst in history.
C.Humans are to blame for the damage.
D.The weather last March was normal.
【3】What does the underlined word “coaxed” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Protected.
B.Dried.
C.Tricked.
D.Delayed.
【4】Which is the best title of the text?
A.Causes of Early Budding.
B.Late Frost Threatens Vine Crops.
C.Creative Ways to Save Vines.
D.Global Warming Brings Extreme Weather.

31、课文内容填空
Middle English is the name 【1】(give) to the English used from around the 12th to the 15th centuries. Many things played a part in the 【2】(develop) of this new type of English. The most important 【3】(贡献) was from the Normans, a 【4】 (French speak) people who【5】 (打败) England and took control of the country in 1066. 【6】, the Norman Conquest did not affect English as much as the Angles and the Saxons’ victory about 600 years earlier, which led to Old English 【7】 (replace) Celtic. Even though the Normans spoke French for the e【8】 250 years they ruled England, French did not replace English 【9】 the first language.
