26、Oceans hold a lot of mystery, even for people who study them. But it’s no mystery why they are in trouble. We’ve been using them to hide our waste—such as pouring oil, plastic, and poisonous chemicals into them for decades. We’ve over exploited (开采) many fish stocks to levels so low that they can no longer be harvested.
Oceans are also a primary source of protein for millions of people worldwide. If we want to continue to enjoy what oceans provide, we need to do everything we can to protect them and the life they support. We should ensure the seafood we eat is sustainable.
Of course, not everyone is lucky enough to be able to catch their own fish, which means having sustainable options in the store is critical. As the public’s and companies’ awareness about the risks caused by overfishing and uncontrolled sea farming expansion have grown, food tradesmen in Canada have developed sustainable seafood policies and commitments.
Seafood Progress, an online resource, is designed to help provide rewards for tradesmen and information for seafood lovers. It makes it easier for consumers in Canada to find out tradesmen’s policies on sourcing sustainable seafood, whether they’re sticking to those policies and how they are performing compared to other tradesmen.
But tradesmen must do more to ensure their seafood products are environmentally sustainable and socially responsible. This means expanding the range of their commitments to cover all seafood products they sell in all their stores. It also requires continuing to work with suppliers and producers to improve practices and make sure the sustainable seafood supply meets consumer demand.
It’s no mystery that if we want to continue to eat fish, we must do it responsibly. Seafood Progress has invited seafood tradesmen, suppliers and consumers to join in pushing to this goal.
【1】What’s the cause of oceans’ being in trouble according to Paragraph 1?
A.The over-exploitation and use of the oceans.
B.The mystery that people haven’t studied.
C.The ever-changing climate of the global.
D.The continuous decrease of fish stocks.
【2】What can Seafood Progress do for consumers?
A.Provide rewards for them.
B.Urge them to stick to policies.
C.Provide them with enough seafood.
D.Let them know about tradesmen’s policies.
【3】What can we infer from the text?
A.Stores will be banned from selling seafood.
B.Oceans play an important role in feeding people.
C.People fail to note the consequence of overfishing.
D.Tradesmen can sell seafood products without limit.
【4】How can we make seafood sustainable?
A.By protecting all the tradesmen’s profit.
B.Through expanding seafood production.
C.By combining efforts of people involved in seafood.
D.By making policies to control seafood consumers.
27、Someday a stranger will read your e-mall without your permission or scan the Websites you’ve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.
In fact, it’s likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse. girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen --the 2lst century equivalent of being caught naked.
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it’s important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.
The key question is: Does that matter?
For many Americans, the answer apparently is “no.”
When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me”.
But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-offcoupon (优惠券).
But privacy does mater--at least sometimes. It’s like health: When you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it.
【1】What does the author mean by saying “the 2lst century equivalent of being caught naked”?
A.Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.
B.In the 2lst century people try every means to look into others’ secrets.
C.People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.
D.People’s personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge
【2】What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?
A.Friends should open their hearts to each other.
B.There should be a distance even between friends.
C.Friends should always be faithful to each other.
D.There should be fewer disputes between friends.
【3】Why does the author say “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret”?
A.Modern society has finally evolved into an open society.
B.There are always people who are curious about others affairs.
C.People leave traces around when using modern technology.
D.Many search engines profit by revealing people’s identities.
【4】According to the passage, privacy is like health in that ________.
A.people don’t cherish it until they lose it.
B.its importance is rarely understood.
C.it is something that can easily be lost.
D.people will make every effort to keep it
28、“You should get a cat, ”my therapist(治疗专家)said. “A cat?” I couldn’t even look after myself. . I took a deep breath and carefully considered the idea of welcoming a feline (猫科的)friend into my life. This seemed like too easy a fix for the fact that I couldn’t leave the house without bursting into tears.
When my partner and I found Cinnamon, her adoption profile made her out as the perfect kitten. We filled out the paperwork and prepared for her arrival.
When she came home, it became increasingly obvious that Cinnamon didn’t understand “no”, “stop it” or “don’t do that”. She was the worst cat I’ve ever owned. I was beginning to doubt my therapist’s advice.
After visiting our vet, she concluded that Cinnamon just wanted our attention. She fought tooth and nail to get a bite of our meals. She’d fearlessly lick sharp knives when left unattended for a split second. Cinnamon stole my heart with her bravery and kept me busier than I’d ever expected.
We decided to start taking her for walks. I could barely leave the house before, but my heart couldn’t say no to Cinnamon. Cinnamon showed me what bravery looked like. She didn’t stop to consider every possible outcome of a situation; she simply went for it. If there was a dog at a park, she would run toward it. She jumped without knowing where she would land. She loved adventure. I found myself mirroring her behavior after a while, jumping out of bed without a second thought. I began to find the motivation to get out of bed in the morning.
Cinnamon unfortunately passed away after a medical accident. I’m no stranger to sadness or grief, but losing my pet so suddenly was the most confusing emotional experience I’ve had to date. She no longer wakes me up at 5 am begging for breakfast, but she’s still the reason I get up every morning.
Our time is often cut unpredictably, unmistakably short. It would be a shame to live life being anything less than brave and adventurous.
【1】Why did the author’s therapist recommend that she get a cat?
A.To learn how to interact with animals.
B.To help the author fill up her spare time;
C.To solve the author’s fear of going out.
D.To distract the author’s attention from her pain.
【2】How did the author feel at first after Cinnamon came home?
A.Thrilled.
B.Amazed.
C.Pleased.
D.Disappointed.
【3】What can be inferred from the text?
A.Walking Cinnamon outdoors became an adventure for the author.
B.The author was positively affected by Cinnamon’s courageous behavior.
C.Cinnamon loved going outside and took consequences into consideration.
D.The author decided to take Cinnamon outside as she was too troublesome to stay in.
【4】What did the author want to convey in this text?
A.Life is short and unpredictable.
B.The loss of a pet can be painful.
C.We should have the courage to take risks.
D.Animal-assisted therapy is the best cure for mental illness.
29、Failure isn’t the end, unless you let it be. Don’t believe me? Here are four people who lived through failure before going on to become names known around the world.
Walt Disney
Disney began his career by being fired by a newspaper for not being creative enough. Later, his Mickey Mouse cartoons were rejected because they were considered to be “too scary for women”. Also, The Three Little Pigs was turned down because it only had four characters. Thankfully, we have the Disney Company today because Disney chose not to listen to any of his critics and press forward towards his dreams.
Stephen King
King is a best-selling writer whose work has been made into several motion pictures. However, his first work was rejected 30 times, which led to King throwing it in the trash. Thankfully, his wife persuaded him to keep working at it, and—from that poor start—Carrie was born.
Milton Hershey
The man who blessed us with the sweet milk chocolate treat we all love wasn’t a hit the first time around. He once worked for a local candy factory. But when he went out on his own, he failed miserably. Then he returned to the family farm and perfected the art of making delicious milk chocolate candy, which we enjoy today.
Theodor Geisel
This author struggled to write a novel that publishing companies would call “pure rubbish” several times — 27 to be exact. The man just wouldn’t quit, though. One fateful night, he ran into an old friend who was a children’s literature editor. The friend agreed to publish Geisel’s work. Better known today as Dr. Seuss, Geisel was never again called a failure after his first book became a hit.
【1】Why is the Disney Company known to us nowadays?

32、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。
I could feel the excitement rising in me as I held the beautifully wrapped present in my hands. I was unable to contain my curiosity any longer. I opened it. It was a brand new laptop(笔记本电脑). I had scored straight As for my O-level examination and this was my reward. I had always envied my friends who were exchanging news about chat rooms, instant messaging and e-mailing, all of which I knew nothing about. Now I was going to find out.
It started out simply enough. I was searching for some information online when I came across a social networking site. Soon I became addicted to chatting with my new-found friend on the Internet. I began to spend more and more time on YouTube and became enslaved by Facebook and Twitter. I had never imagined that the day would come when I would be stuck by the glowing screen before me. Whenever I didn’t surf these social networking sites, I would be going through conversation about boring things or fashion websites.
As time passed, I realized that I was addicted to the Internet. During weekends, when I had more time on my hands, I could easily spend a few hours on my laptop. It came to a point where I chose to lock myself in my room, refusing to come out and take part in family discussions. I preferred to stay connected to the people I befriended on the Internet although I had never met them. Soon I was spending the early hours of the morning surfing the Internet. Sleep was replaced by naps(打盹) and my grades at school also dropped quickly.
It was about this time that my parents started voicing their disapproval. It became obvious to them that I was spending too much time on the Internet. I was asked to decrease my usage of the laptop. Yet, however hard I tried, I was unable to pull myself away, unable to end my chat sessions, and unable to concentrate on my lessons. I was desperate for just another click, just another look at my e-mail or message board.
