23、Local barber (理发师) goes above and beyond for a little boy
“That day started all wrong,” LaQuista Erinna said. “And we forgot his headphones. We were running late, traffic was horrible, so I knew it was going to be difficult that day.”
When Erinna and her son finally arrived at their appointment, it seemed like there was no way 6-year-old Jackson, a boy with autism (自闭症), would be getting his hair cut.
“He just immediately got anxious,” Erinna explained. “Usually I have to do some coaching to get him in the chair. He will put on his headphones, and we power through.”
Erinna said Jackson is a typical little boy who loves to play and loves art. But some tasks can be sensory overload, and haircuts are one of them.
The stress was so intense for mom and son that almost two years went by before Jackson got another haircut. But this time, he was in the hands of Ree, the barber, and things were getting easier.
Ree noticed his Super Mario Bros shirt and told him that he needed to save Mario by making sure no hair got on him. She cut his hair while he moved and ran around the shop. She talked to him throughout the entire process, encouraging him and reminding him about protecting Mario to keep him engaged.
“It just touched me so much,” Erinna said: “She nurtured that relationship. She gained his trust.”
“I feel good I can go above and beyond for a child,” Ree said. “I know children want to be free.They want to express themselves so I try to find a different strategy to make them feel comfortable”
Jackson’s smile told the rest of the story.
Erinna was very moved by her son’s haircut. She shared a video online, which has gotten millions of views. Given the huge response, Erinna also set up a special GoFundMe to support Ree to make sure she’s able to continue to work and replace any lost income from the impact of the pandemic (流行病).
【1】What usually helped to calm Jackson during haircuts?
A．His mother’s trust.
B．His art books.
C．His barber’s encouragement.
D．His headphones
【2】How did Ree succeed in cutting Jackson’s hair?
A．By inspiring him to be brave
B．By cooperating with his mother.
C．By turning the haircut into a game.
D．By telling stories about Super Mario.
【3】To express thanks to Ree, Erinna ______.
A．raised money to support her
B．advertised her hair cutting skills
C．got haircuts at her shop regularly
D．posted photos of Jackson’s haircut online
【4】Which of the following words can best describe Ree?
A．Kind and honest.

24、 Something’s happening at the lowest point on our planet,some 1,388 feet below sea level.The Dead Sea,a salt lake close to Israel,Jordan and the West Bank,is shrinking at an alarming rate—about 3.3 feet per year,according to the environmentalist group EcoPeace Middle East.
“It’s not just like one country is punishing the Dead Sea;it’s more like the whole region,”said photographer Moritz Küstner,who visited the area in February to work on his series “The Dying Dead Sea”.
The Dead Sea needs water from the other natural sources surrounding it,such as the Jordan River basin.But around the 1960s, the courses of some water sources it relied upon were diverted. Israel, for instance, built a pipeline during that time so it could supply water throughout the country.
Mineral extraction(提取)industries are another main reason why the water levels are declining,experts say.The Dead Sea’s minerals have been popular for their medical power and can often be found in cosmetics(化妆品)and other consumer products.
And then,of course,there’s the Middle East’s hot,dry climate,which makes it difficult for the lake to refill itself.Last year,Israel and Jordan signed a $ 900 million deal in an effort to stabilize the Dead Sea’s water levels.It involves building a canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea which would be able to not only supply water to Israel and Jordan but also to pump much needed water—some 300 million cubic meters annually—into the Dead Sea.
“This is the most important and significant agreement since the peace treaty with Jordan (in 1994),”said Silvan Shalom,Israel’s energy and water resources minister at the time.Whether the canal—estimated to take three years to complete—will work out positively and as planned remains to be seen.
For now, Küstner shows us that the Dead Sea remains very much a place of interest, with people from all over the world going there to swim in its salty waters.
【1】How many reasons for the Dead Sea’s shrinking does the author mention in the passage?
A. One. B. Two.
C. Three. D. Four.
【2】What does the underlined word “diverted” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Switch. B. Improve.
C. Accomplish. D. Repair.
【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The Dead Sea is drying out causing water shortage to humans.
B. Küstner visited the Dead Sea to shoot TV series about people’s life.
C. The Dead Sea’s minerals have been used in some products.
D. The Dead Sea’s water levels have been stabilized by building a canal.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A. How the Dead Sea’s water levels’ decline influences human beings.
B. How important the Dead Sea is in Israel,Jordan and the West Bank.
C. What we should do to save the Dead Sea from being destroyed.
D. Why the Dead Sea is dying and the measure taken to save it.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The Lost Ball
One day Kaya and I were playing with the ball and the ball went into Taku's house. Though we were scared, we went to his house and asked him if he could return our ball.
He said “No”. We felt helpless. Suddenly, I had an idea. There was a water tank（水箱）behind Taku's house. I looked at it and said, "Kaya, look at this. We can climb up the water tank and jump over the gate."
Kaya agreed, but we were both wearing skirts. We couldn't climb with that.
"It doesn't matter. We can come tomorrow. Don't forget to wear pants." said Kaya.
“Bye,” I said and went home.
The next day I went to Kaya's house early. We were both wearing pants.
"Best of luck!" said Kaya's brother Vijay who knew everything.
He said, “Shout loudly if you need me.”
We went to the water tank. "Who will climb first?" asked Kaya.
“You!” I said.
She agreed.
She climbed down into Taku's house. I followed her and then we were looking under a bed for the ball when we heard a noise.
It was Vijay. “Mother is calling you,” he whispered（悄声地说）.
We hurried and took out the lost ball. But along with the ball was a gold bar! We quickly took both the ball and the gold bar and climbed up the water tank again. When we reached Kaya's house, the TV was on. It was news time.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
