26、 This is a true story. Tristin Saghin enjoyed the movie “Black Hawk Down” very much, which is about the conflict in Somalia. The battle scenes and the exciting rescues of people who are dying interested him greatly.
There was just one problem: Tristin was only 9 years old, and it was thought that movie was not for children. When his parents caught him watching it on TV, they made him turn it off, though he had finished his homework and it was not late. Then one day, Tristin and his family were visiting his grandmother in Mesa, Arizona. Tristin’s 2-year-old sister got out of the house and fell in the backyard pool.

28、What’s the meaning of “dark horse”? It’s someone who wins when no one expects it.
Han Xiaopeng took China’s first gold on snow. He became an Olympic “dark horse” by winning the gold medal in men’s freestyle aerial skiing(自由式滑雪空中技巧) at Turin in Italy. He made two almost perfect jumps for the highest score. Han had never won a world gold medal before, let alone(更不用说) in the Olympics!
“I never thought this would happen,” said the 23-year-old. “I feel like I’m in a dream.” It’s China’s second gold medal at the Turin Olympics. But more important, Han’s gold was the country’s first ever in a snow sport. In 2002, China’s Yang Yang won the gold for speed skating at the winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, US.
That Han’s win was unexpected doesn’t mean that he didn’t work hard.
Han grew up in Jiangsu Province. Before he started his training on snow, he used to be an acrobat(杂技演员) at a circus. In 1995, a coach found his talent(才能). The coach, Yang Er’qi, said Han had the agility(灵活性) and courage to be a ski jumper. When Yang first took the 12-year-old to northern China, the boy couldn’t swim, skate or ski. But he wasn’t afraid of the high platform(跳台) and kept on training.
Han almost left the sport after hurting his knee months before the Salt Lake Games. In that Olympics he only got 24th. “I was hopeless at that time, but my family and the coach stood firmly(坚强地) behind me, helping me through,” he recalled.
Han Xiaopeng worked so hard that he won the gold medal in the Olympics at last. Because of his success, more and more people in China are becoming interested in skiing. We are proud of him and we hope he will have another big success in the next winter Olympics.
【1】What does “dark horse” mean?
A. A horse which is dark. B. A someone who is unexpected to win.
C. A horse which likes the dark. D. A someone whose win is expected.
【2】Where did Han Xiaopeng take China’s first gold on snow?
A. In China. B. In Italy.
C. In America. D. In Australia.
【3】What made the coach, Yang Er’qi, choose Han Xiaopeng to be a ski jumper?
A. He had enough courage though he was only 12 years old.
B. He was born in the south of China and liked sports on snow.
C. He had the agility and wasn’t afraid of the high platform.
D. He had the talent and he had won a world gold medal before.
【4】What is the best title for this passage?
A. A Wonderful Match. B. A Dark Horse at the Winter Olympics.
C. A Hopeful Snow Game. D. An Exciting Skiing Race.
29、One night I received a Facebook message from Laura, a former classmate. “Hey Steve,” she said, “I know you’ve always been an animal lover. I’ve just had a baby and I can’t keep my mini pig.”
Being fond of animals, I knew I wanted the pig. I just had to figure out how to make it happen. I lived in a two-bedroom single-level house in Georgetwon, Ontario. It’s tough to bring a pig back to the house I share with two dogs, two cats, and my lifelong partner.
But I was not letting that pig go. So I told Laura I’d take the animal. When I got home with the pig, I hid her in the bedroom, and began to prepare a dinner for Alisha —her favourite bacon cheeseburgers. It’s better to make her happy before introducing the new member to her.
When I led her to the bedroom and showed her the surprise, Alisha stood in the doorway like a statue. It took her a few seconds to know what I had done. She complained about my unreasonable action. She insisted there was no more room in the house.
I knew I was wrong, but I hoped I could smooth things over. Soon enough, the lovely pig did the smoothing for me. Never had we felt such joy as she brought to us. We got her a name “Esther”.
Esther’s arrival changed our lives. A few weeks later, we decided to stop eating bacon. We figured it was our turn to try to change the world for other animals. A few months later, we moved to a farm where we cared for abandoned animals — so far, six rabbits, six goats, two sheep, one horse, three cows and three chickens.
【1】Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined words in Paragraph 5?
A.clarify
B.continue
C.settle
D.improve
【2】Why did the author cook Alisha a meal?
A.To please her to accept the pig.
B.To make an apology to her.
C.To celebrate Esther’s arrival.
D.To show off his cooking skills.
【3】What was Alisha’s reaction the moment she saw Esther?
A.She burst into tears.
B.She showed interest in her.
C.She quarreled with Steve.
D.She was frozen for a while.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.A Small Pig Making a Big Difference
B.An Abandoned Pig Finding a Warm Home
C.A Little Pig Bringing Happiness to a Family
D.A Lovely Pig Removing a Couple’s Disagreement
