26、A small insect is gettinga lot of attention in the United States. The rusty patched bumblebee (大黄蜂) is the first of its species to be declared endangered in the lower 48 states — meaning every state except Alaska and Hawaii. The rusty patched bumblebee is named for a rust-colored line on its back.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced this month it was adding the bee to its endangered species list. The insects are "on the brink of extinction, " according to the service. It said the bees were once found in 28 states. But there now are only small populations remaining in 13 states. The government agency will make a plan to help the dying bees recover. The agency said that such a plan might help other insects,like butterflies.

U.S. officials think land owners can take small steps to help the rusty patched bumblebee. They say land owners can be friendlier towards bees by using native plants in their gardens. The insects directly fertilize many kinds of fruit and vegetable crops. And they fertilize grain crops used to feed cattle and milk cows. It costs billions of dollars to duplicate the job the bees do for free. Land owners are also being urged to cut back on their use of pesticide products. The officials also suggest that gardeners leave their plants alone at the end of the summer instead of cutting them. That way, the bees will have a place to live over the winter.

The Fish and Wildlife Service says the rusty patched bumblebee was added to the endangered species list partly because of habitat loss. Other reasons were disease, pesticides and climate change. Officials are worried that other bees will suffer, too. Another species of bees in Hawaii is also endangered.

【1】How many states declared the rusty patched bumblebee endangered?

A．13.

B．28.

C．48.

D．50.

【2】Which one is harmful to the rusty patched bumblebee?

A．Planting native plants.

B．Reducing the use of pesticide products.

C．Leaving plants alone.

D．Cutting out plants regularly.

【3】What can we know about the rusty patched bumblebee according to the text?

A．All the states declared it as endangered species.

B．It is named for a rust-colored line on its belly.

C．It is beneficial to land owners.

D．It is endangered mainly because of habitat loss.

【4】What's the best title for the passage?

A．Bumblebee added to U.S. endangered species list

B．Why is bumblebee on the brink of extinction

C．Take steps to help bumblebee

D．The benefits of protecting bumblebee

27、   When I was 17, I read a magazine article about a museum called the McKay, once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McKay. She had requested the community to tum it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, "Do you have the address? ""No, but I'll recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine. "

"Oh, stop. There it is!”

The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us.

"May I help you?" a man asked. "No, "I said. "We're fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren't that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy(爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures in one room. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. "Where do you think you are? " he asked. I turned sharply. "The McKay Art Museum!" He smiled, shaking his head. "Sorry, the McKay is on New Braunfels Street." "What’s this place?” I asked, still confused. "Well, it's our home." My heart jolted(震颤). I raced to the staircase and called out, "Sally! Come down immediately! "

"There are some really good artworks up there." She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, "Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place." Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn't believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.

Thirty years later, a woman came up to me in a public place. “Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence, long ago, thinking it was the McKay Museum?”

"Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone. "

"That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. You thought it was a museum. My feelings about my home changed after that. I've always wanted to thank you."

【1】What do we know about Marian McKay?

A.She was a painter. B.She was a community leader.

C.She was a museum director. D.She was a reporter.

【2】Why did the author refuse the help from the man in the house?

A.She disliked people who were nosy. B.She felt nervous when talking to strangers.

C.She knew more about art than the man. D.She mistook him for a tour guide.

【3】How did the author feel about being stared at by the people in the hall?

A.Puzzled. B.Concerned.

C.Frightened. D.Pleased.

【4】What could we learn from the last paragraph?

A.People should have good taste to enjoy life.

B.People should spend more time with their family.

C.People always turn blind to the beauty around them.

D.People like to educate teenagers at a museum.

28、   In the wild, polar bears spend much of their lives wandering pack ice (浮冰群) in search of food. These bears have adapted to a high fat diet from ocean-going animals: they are rapid and dangerous swimmers, allowing them to easily catch animals as food. Each summer, as the pack ice starts to become smaller, polar bears draw closer to land to give birth to and care for babies. Many give up food during this period, hunting again when the ice returns and living on stored fat.

Pack ice is decreasing globally. When it does form, it disappears more quickly, and tends to be thinner as well. In 2004, several polar bear deaths by drowning were recorded. The bears had been trapped on faraway areas of floating ice, and had tried to swim for land. Due to the disappearance of the ice, they were tired and drowned before reaching shore safely. This problem is likely to grow as the pack ice becomes smaller.

The disappearance of the ice has other impacts for polar bears: they are losing their natural prey (猎物), who are also affected by the loss of habitat. The bears are not very good at catching land animals, and must compete with other species for these food sources. Land animals also don’t provide the high fat diet that polar bears need, which may lead to hunger. Hungry mothers may not be able to provide their babies with the nutrition needed, which will further contribute to the drop in polar bear population.

The deadly factors brought about by global warming put polar bears at risk. Drops in birth and survival rates have already been documented, and biologists are increasingly concerned about the animals’ odd behavior as a result of the loss of their natural habitat. Environmental organizations believe a global effort is needed to fight against global warming before it is too late for polar bears, as well as many other species that call Earth home.

【1】In which season are baby polar bears born?

A．Spring.

B．Summer.

C．Autumn.

D．Winter.

【2】What is the main idea of the third paragraph?

A．The disappearance of the ice has negative effects on polar bears.

B．Polar bears have to compete with other species for food sources.

C．Land animals don’t provide the high fat diet that polar bears need.

D．Hungry bear mothers can’t provide their babies with the nutrition needed.

【3】What is biologists’ attitude to the animals’ strange behavior?

A．Doubtful.

B．Relieved.

C．Positive.

D．Worried.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．Why is pack ice becoming smaller?

B．What measures can we take to protect polar bears?

C．Are polar bears in danger from global warming?

D．Is global warming becoming more and more serious?

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。

The spot of red was what first caught Randy Heiss’s attention on December 16, 2018.

He was hiking behind his ranch (牧场) in Patagonia, Arizona, a town near the US-Mexico border, when he found a balloon on the grass. Heiss walked towards it with his dog, thinking he would pick up something useless and throw it away.

That’s when he noticed the balloon was connected to a piece of paper. ‘Dayami’, it read on one side, in a child’s writing. Turning the paper over, he saw a numbered list, all in Spanish. “My Spanish isn’t very good, but I could see it was a Christmas,” he said.

Heiss was attracted. He thought that maybe a child had tried to send Santa Claus a Christmas wish list by balloon, something he used to do himself when he was a kid. Nobody had ever returned the letters Heiss had sent, but he wondered whether he could find the kid who had sent this one.

It would be difficult, but he believed he could work it out. About 32 kilometers to the southwest, just across the border, was the city of Nogales, Mexico. “Based on the prevailing wind (盛行风), I was pretty sure that’s where it came from,” he said.

Heiss brought the note home to his wife, who is good at Spanish and helped him translate the list. The elderly couple figured out that Dayami, probably a girl, had asked for a doll, a dollhouse, clothes and some art supplies.

Heiss then posted on social media along with some photos, hoping some of his friends in Nogales might know the girl’s family. A few days passed with no useful information provided; Heiss worried that time was running out before Christmas. On December 19, 2018, he decided to send a message to Radio XENY, a radio station based in Nogales.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

To his surprise, someone from the station called him back right away.
