26、 On Friday night you stole away the life of an exceptional being, the love of my life, the mother of my son, but you will not have my hatred(憎恨).
I don't know who you are and I don't want to know-you are dead souls. If the God for whom you kill blindly made us in his image, each bullet in my wife's body would have been a wound in his heart.
Therefore I will not give you the gift of hating you. You have obviously sought it, but responding to it with anger would be to give in to the same ignorance that has made you what you are.
You want me to be afraid, to cast a mistrusting eye on my fellow citizens, to sacrifice my freedom for security? You lost.
I saw her this morning, finally after nights and days of waiting. She was just as beautiful as she was when she left on Friday evening, as beautiful as when I fell madly in love with her more than 12 years ago.
Of course I am heart-broken, I will give you that tiny victory, but this will be a short-term grief. I know that she will join us every day and that we will find each other again in the paradise(天堂)of free souls which you will never have access to.
We are only two, my son and I, but we are more powerful than all the world's armies. In any case, I have no more time to waste on you. I need to go back to Melvil, who is waking up from his afternoon nap. He is just 17 months old. He'll eat his snack like every day, and we are going to play like we do every day. In every day of his life, this little boy will insult(侮辱) you with his happiness and freedom, because you don't have his hatred either.

27、The number of weather-related disasters has increased by five times over the past 50 years, the latest report by the World Meteorological (气象) Organization (WMO) said on September. However, thanks to improved early warning systems and disaster management, the number of death from these hazards has been almost three times less.
According to the WMO, from 1970 to 2019, weather, climate and water hazards accounted for 50 percent of all disasters. Among the top 10 hazards that led to the largest loss of human life during this period were droughts, storms, floods and extreme temperatures. However, deaths fell from over 50,000 in the 1970s to less than 20,000 in the 2010s.
“Weather, climate and water extremes are increasing and will become more frequent and severe in many parts of the world as a result of climate change,” says WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas.
“That means more heat waves, drought and forest fires such as those we have observed recently in Europe and North America. We have more water vapor in the atmosphere, which is worsening extreme rainfall and deadly flooding. The warming of the oceans has affected the frequency and area of existence of the most intense tropical storms.”
“Economic losses are increasing as exposure increases. But behind the statistics lies a message of hope. Improved multi-hazard early warning systems have led to a significant reduction in deaths. Quite simply, we are better than ever before at saving lives,” Taalas said.
【1】What do we know from the first paragraph?
A.Disasters connected with weather have gone up.
B.The number of weather-related disasters has decreased.
C.The number of deaths from hazards has been increasing.
D.Early warning systems have made disasters decline much.
【2】What will happen according to Petteri Taalas?
A.There will be more extreme weather.
B.Extreme rainfall will no longer exist.
C.Water vapor in the atmosphere will go down.
D.Humans will defeat extreme weather in the end.
【3】What is hopeful behind the bad news?
A.Improved warning systems will save economic losses.
B.Economic losses are going down as exposure increases.
C.More lives will be saved thanks to early warning systems.
D.Improved early warning systems will control extreme weather
【4】What does the underlined word “hazards” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Something polluted.
B.Something reported.
C.Something dangerous.
D.Something safe.
28、 Standing at the top of the world, I cleared the ice from my oxygen mask(氧气面罩), bent a shoulder forward against the wind, and stared absently down at the land of Tibet. Finally I had made it-the top of Mount Qomolangma.
I understood on some dim level(隐约地)that the earth down there was a grand sight. I’d been longing for this moment, and the excitement that would come with it. But now that I was finally here, actually standing on the top of Mount Qomolangma, I just couldn’t collect the energy to care.
It was early on the afternoon of May 10, 1996. I hadn’t slept for fifty-seven hours. My stomach was upset because the only food I’d been able to force down over the past three days was a bowl of soup. To make things worse, weeks of violent coughing had made ordinary breathing a bitter process. At 29,028 feet above the sea level, there was so little oxygen reaching my brain that I couldn’t think better than a slow child. Right now I could not feel much of anything except cold and tired. After taking four quick photos, I turned and headed down. I’d spent less than five minutes on the roof of the world.
Looking down the route we had climbed, I noticed something that until that moment had escaped my attention. To the south, where the sky had been perfectly clear just an hour earlier, a blanket of clouds now hid the lesser mountains surrounding. Nothing I saw early that day suggested that a violent storm was approaching. To my oxygen-exhausted mind, the clouds coming up the grand valley of ice appeared no different from the harmless clouds that rose from the valley almost every afternoon.
As I was climbing down, I began to get extremely anxious. However, my concern at that moment had little to do with the weather; I had almost run out of oxygen. I ought to have checked earlier. I needed to get down, fast.
【1】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.The top of the world. B.The land of Tibet.
C.A grand sight. D.Reaching the top.
【2】Why did the writer leave the top so quickly?
A.He was exhausted and weak. B.He had dropped his camera.
C.An unexpected violent storm arrived. D.He had fear of heights.
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A.The grand sight made the writer scream.
B.The weather on Qomolangma was changeable.
C.The writer was energetic and strong-minded.
D.The writer was experienced and well-prepared.
29、 Are you at least 17 years old? Do you weigh more than 110 pounds? Do you consider yourself fairly healthy?
If you answered yes to all of these questions, you should be donating(捐赠) blood every two months. n my survey of my schoolmates, I found that only 50 percent of them have ever donated blood and that only 1 out of 13 of them donate regularly. The lack of blood donors is a serious problem that requires immediate action.
According to the American Red Cross Web pages, in the United States alone someone receives a blood transfusion(输血) once every three seconds. People who benefit from donations include cancer patients as well as babies. The need for blood never takes a vacation and neither should donors.
Let me tell you about Brooke, a three-year-old girl with cancer. Brooke has spent about half of her life in the hospital receiving treatments. Her treatment will require about 500 units of blood in total, of which only 250 units have been replaced. She still needs the other half of the total amount to continue her treatment. If she doesn’t receive this blood, she will not live to start kindergarten.
Examples like Brooke’s are becoming all too common these days, with only 1 in 20 Americans donating blood and this number keeps dropping each year. These facts are extremely worrying considering that nearly half of us here will need blood sometime in our lives.
You can now see the seriousness of the problem with the lack of blood donations. Fortunately, it is a problem that can be easily solved. Each and every one of you can be part of the solution. All you have to do is go to the nearest Red Cross and donate your blood.
【1】How does the author explain the problem mentioned in Paragraph2?
A.By making comparisons. B.By answering questions.
C.By describing his own experiences. D.By presenting research findings.
【2】What can we learn from the American Red Cross Web pages?
A.The strong need for blood. B.The suffering of patients.
C.The benefits of taking vacations D.The efforts of the Red Cross.
【3】The three-year-old girl Brooke .
A.can’t wait to start kindergarten
B.stays alive by receiving blood daily
C.doesn't get fair treatment in the hospital
D.will need another 250 units of blood
【4】What is the purpose of the text?
A.To present some new medical results. B.To persuade people to donate blood.
C.To explain the risks of blood donation. D.To call on people to save a little girl.

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。
Our washing machine needed to be fixed and we had called for a service person to mend it. The machine drum was making a lot of noise and the clothes were not being washed properly. The service man could only speak Spanish and it was a tough time for me to communicate with him. He was patient enough to let me know what was wrong with the machine and he conveyed the parts that were to be fixed. When the machine finally started working properly, I breathed a sigh of relief and asked about the service charge. The bill amount came to be around $41.3.
I quickly gave him a $50 note and requested the balance amount. When he searched his pocket and said that he had none, I went inside and started hunting for the exact change. All the time, at the back of my head I was scared that he might get his hands on something from the house. You see, there were expensive gadgets and jewels on the earrings stand hanging out there in the living room where he was waiting. And last time when I was getting my air conditioner fixed, I found my ring was lost. And the ring was from my grandma. The only guy that might take it was the service man, for we hadn't had any visitors. I even called him later but he said he did not see anything like a ring. I could feel from his voice that he was hiding something but I had no evidence of his stealing my ring.
My jewels were only a few steps from him and he could easily grab one without being noticed. I even kind of heard his steps in the hall.
In a hurry, I somehow fished out a $20 note, two separate $10 notes and the remaining tens. I rushed to the living room and immediately handed him the service charge. I wanted him to thank and leave but he stood there still.
