26、 I hardly have any good memories of my summer holidays two years ago. All I can remember is that I was busy doing drugs with my friends for most of the time. I said to myself that I would give up drugs before I went back to school，but when school started I was still addicted to them.
I went back to school like the other students but I had become a very different person. Most students came back to school with smiles on their faces，but not me. I became a different person that didn't care about anything but drugs. It was like I was walking around in a different body.
I went from being an above average student to a really bad student. I started to do things that I never thought I would do before -like bullying（恐吓）students，and fighting with people just because they looked at me in the wrong way. I rarely smiled or played sports like I used to. I was always moody and angry with my friends and teachers. I started to skip school（逃学）once or twice a week. No one seemed to care，so I was soon absent nearly everyday. I started stealing money from my parents and I lied to other people just to get some money for drugs. When my parents found out that I stole their money and sold their jewellery, they got really angry. I started to hang out with my drug addict friends for days and nights without going back home. I even slept by the side of the road and woke up without caring what people would think about me.
Now I have changed a lot. Drugs are terrible. Stay away from them.
【1】Two years ago when the summer holiday was over, the author .
A.made many good friends B.was busy doing his school work
C.kept doing drugs D.gave up drugs
【2】When the author was addicted to drugs, he .
A.went to school as usual B.became a top student in his class
C.didn't play sports as before D.liked to sleep by the side of the road
【3】From the passage we can infer that once a person is addicted to drugs, .
A.it is difficult to give it up B.it is easy to get rid of it
C.it has no influence on his life D.it will be easy for him to steal money

28、Elephants are truly incredible animals. August 12 is World Elephant Day which means to help save elephants. What do you know about elephants? Here are some facts you may not know.
We know that elephants are large. But did you know that elephants often avoid eating a type of acacia tree(金合欢树), because it is home to ants and an elephant doesn’t want to get the ants inside its trunk. Its trunk is full of sensitive nerve endings(敏感神经末梢).
Female elephants live in groups of about 15 animals. The oldest in the group is the leader. She decides not only when and where they move but also when they rest all the year. Male elephants leave the female groups between age 12 and 15. But they aren’t loners. They live in all-male groups.
Asian elephants don’t run. Running requires lifting all four feet at once. But elephants filmed in Thailand always kept at least two on the ground at all times.
Elephants have passed the mirror test. They recognize themselves in a mirror. According to tests, great apes(巨猿), and dolphins(海豚) also have this ability.
Elephants can get sunburned so they take care to protect themselves. “Elephants will throw sand on their backs and on their head to keep them from getting sunburned and to keep bugs off,” said Tony Barthel, working at Smithsonian’s National Zoo. How do elephants protect their young? Adult elephants will put them in sand and then they will stand over the little ones as they sleep.
Some farmers in Kenya protect their fields from elephants by lining the borders with beehives(蜂巢). Not only are their crops saved, but the farmers also get more money from honey.
【1】World Elephant Day is designed to________.
A．show some facts about elephants
B．call on people to protect elephants
C．tell people some animals are in danger
D．introduce Asian elephants features
【2】Why are elephants not willing to eat acacia trees?
A．Elephants are sensitive to acacia trees.
B．Acacia trees are too tall to reach.
C．Fruits on the acacia trees are hard to eat.
D．Elephants’trunks are easily hurt by ants in the trees.
【3】What do we infer about male elephants?
A．They live with female elephants at an early age.
B．They decide when and where their groups move.
C．Their oldest male elephant is chosen as their leader.
D．They can run faster than female elephants.
【4】How do elephants protect their young kids?
A．Put some sand on kids’heads.
B．Guard kids when kids sleep.
C．Pat kids’backs from time to time.
D．Use their trunks to keep bugs off.
29、 Today, getting information is as easy as opening a browser on your computer/phone, typing in a question and waiting a nanosecond for a long list of links to load. These websites will promise to answer your question. But actually, they may not be all that trustworthy. Figuring out which site is believable and which is false takes work. It isn’t impossible, though. Actually, it is what every good journalist does daily. And students and other non-journalists also can do it.
To check a new claim, good reporters contact experts on the topic. In journalism, such experts are known as “sources”. This may be a scientist who discovered something new in the lab. Or it could be the witness to a crime.
However, not everything is easy. For instance, if there’s a forest fire, how do you know where it started, when and how? You can ask government officials, but they may not know. You can talk to people near the fire shortly after it started. But unless someone spotted the fire as it happened, people may never know for sure. They may simply offer speculation. Saying something “might have” or even “probably” started that fire isn’t a fact. So you’d have to qualify any statement about the fire’s origins.
I describe such words as “weasel words”. These words and phrases include “might” “could have” “was likely to have been”, etc. Whenever something isn’t known for sure, journalists will highlight their uncertainty by using weasel words. They never over-blow claims to the readers.
A good reporter should be paid for the work he does. Some blogs and even news sites are authored by unpaid writers. Many of these writers are untrained in reporting, and their reports may not provide the depth. Thus, if the news you’re reading is free to the world online, consider what that may mean. Overall, you should be skeptical. That’s acting like a journalist.
【1】What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the first paragraph?
A.Getting information. B.Checking information.
C.Writing information. D.Analyzing information.
【2】How does the author show the difficulty in looking for sources?
A.by listing some facts B.by giving an explanation
C.by raising some questions D.by giving an example
【3】What does the author think of weasel words?
A.They are annoying to the readers. B.They should be avoided in a report.
C.They are a sign of a good journalist. D.They make a difference to a report.
【4】What should be the best title for the text?
A.Gain Believable Information B.Learn from a Good Journalist
C.Check Facts You Can Trust D.Keep in Doubt like a Good Reporter
30、Making My Own Bicycle
It was a Saturday morning. James and I were at the Bamboo Bicycle Club, ready for our bamboo bicycle building course.
The first step was setting up the structure for holding the frame (骨架) in place. After that we were told to _______ the bamboo to be of use, which was a delicate job. There were several things to _______. Of course, finding pieces that were the color we wanted was just as important.
The rest of the afternoon was spent _______ each piece of the frame into the structure. Bamboo is fairly flexible, and this particular _______ meant that some adjustments were really necessary. One problem lining up the two chains causes _______ made our frame useless. Luckily, however, after some careful _______, we confirmed that it was alright. There was just enough space to fit a wheel.
On Sunday morning we returned to the workshop to complete the final _______. We began to tightly wrap each joint on the frame, to keep it _______ with natural fibers kept in special glue. All that was left now was for it to dry. In a few hours we would be official members of the Bamboo Bicycle Club.
Finally we finished our job. I couldn’t wait to _______ our bicycle to find out what it was really like to ride a bamboo bicycle. It felt just as ________ as any bicycle, but softer and more relaxed. Now, every time I get on our bicycle, I can’t help smiling. It reminds me of when James and I built it and makes me proud of myself.
