26、Thousands of people living in Los Angeles have been told to evacuate （疏散）because of a fast-moving wildfire that began in the early hours of Monday morning.

The Getty Fire is close to some of the city’s most expensive homes. It’s reported that wildfires are continuing to rage in many other areas. Some 3300 homes are in the evacuation area. The wildfire is putting LA’ wealthy Brentwood neighborhood in danger, and a local man told the LA Times he was thinking about which of his two cars should be left behind. “I have to decided what I am going to do with my Ferrari（法拉利）,” the 47-year-old man said.

Meanwhile, wildfires are continuing to sweep through northern California. Some 180,000 people have been ordered to leave homes, with roads around Santa Rosa north of San Francisco full of cars as people tried to leave the area. The biggest blockouts（断电）in the state’s history have already left a million people without electricity. Power companies are trying to stop broken cables（电缆）from starting new fires.

The main evacation order in the north covers a huge area of Sonama Country, including Santa Rosa. Sonoma has been hit by the Kincade fire, which started on Wednesday and has burned through a big area of land. It got worse because of the high winds. The 150-year-old Soda Rock Windery was among the places destroyed.

There are fears that the fires could cross the 101 highway and enter area that have not seen wildfires since the 1940s. Fears about the spread of the wildfires led Pacific Gas & Electrc (PG&S) to start a precautionary（预防性的）blockout. Power was shut off to 940,000 families in northern California over the weekend. PG&S said it would work to restart services on Monday but warned of further power cuts as soon as Tuesday if the forecast strong winds returned.

27、In the past, many people depended on horses for transportation(运输), farming and other kinds of work. Nowadays a lot of people still like to ride horses. So it is not surprising that many expressions about it are still used by Americans today.

Long ago, people who were rich or important rode horses that were very tall. Today, if a girl is too proud and looks down upon others, you might say she should "get off her high horse."

Last night, I got a telephone call while I was watching my favorite television show. I decided not to answer it because "wild horses could not drag me away" from the television -- there was nothing that could stop me from doing what I wanted to do.

Sometimes you get information "straight from the horse's mouth." It comes directly from the person who knows most about the subject and is the best source.

However, you would not want to call your teacher a horse!

You may have heard this expression: "You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink." That means you can give someone advice but you cannot force him to do something he does not want to do.

In politics, a "dark-horse candidate" is someone who is not well known to the public. Sometimes, a dark horse unexpectedly wins an election(选举).

Another piece of advice is "do not change horses in midstream." You would not want to get off one horse and on to another in the middle of a river. Or make major changes in an activity that has already begun.

【1】What does the underlined word “it” mean in the first paragraph?

A. the horse   B. riding horses

C. raising horses  D. horse racing

28、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号的相应位置上。

I am a plastic bottle. A week ago, I was on a supermarket shelf, the s【1】 as all my brothers and sisters — other bottles full of water. I felt really happy.

Then a tall woman picked me up and put me in her basket! The woman took me home and put me in the fridge. It was c【2】, but I soon make friends with the cans and bottles in it. However, only a few hours later, she took me out of the fridge and d【3】 the water inside me. Then she threw me into a litter bin. I have never felt so empty and a【4】 in my life.

Early the next morning, a man took me out of the litter bin. He threw me and the other rubbish into the b【5】 of a truck. There were so many awful smells. Then I was pushed together with the r【6】 of the rubbish. Soon I was completely flat. I cannot believe how thin I became.

I slept for a while. When I w【7】 up, I found myself in a terrible place. Everything a【8】 me was ugly and had nasty smells. I felt afraid. I kept hoping that I would be moved s【9】 else. Then huge trucks came and covered us with a lot of soil.

I asked another bottle what would happen to us. He said that we would never leave this crowded place, but would stay here for t【10】 of years.

“Why can't they reuse or recycle us?” I cried.

29、   As you grow older, you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions—like ________ to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another, it can be even ________. People who are your age, ________ your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure.

Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way ________ the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got ________ excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone’s reading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.

Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.

It is hard to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. ________ your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends ________.” Peer pressure is a big reason ________ they say this. If you choose friends who don’t cut class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably won’t do these things, ________, even if other kids do.

If you continue ________ peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. Don’t feel guilty if you’ve made a mistake or two.
