26、In Canada you can find dogs,cats,horses,etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses，they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections（注射） so that they won't carry disease. They have special animal food stores，though they can get animal food in almost every kind of store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people's houses，they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal，you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad.
People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be：Their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up，they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.
【1】The passage mainly talks about ________.
A．how to keep disease from pets
B．pets in Canada
C．how to take good care of pets
D．life of the old in Canada
【2】They give their pets injections before keeping them at their houses because ________.
A．the pets are sick
B．the pets are wild
C．they want to stop them from carrying disease
D．they want them to sleep on the way home
【3】This passage shows that Canadians ________.
A．hate animals
B．often kill animals
C．love animals
D．don't keep pets inside houses

D．they wouldn't depend on their parents any more
27、Taking a Child Fishing
There is nothing quite like seeing the smile on a young person’s face when they catch their fish. Here are some simple steps that can be taken to help children and parents enjoy these early fishing experiences.
【1】
It’s easier to teach young children to fish if your attention is towards them and not towards your own fishing. If you are also trying to fish, this can make that difficult for both of you. 【2】 When they need your help, you can hand down your tool and they can keep fishing.
Keep trips short.
Children have short attention periods. 【3】 Take this into consideration when planning a trip. When it stops being fun for them, it’s time to call it a day.
Bring plenty of snacks and drinks.
Even though most of these trips will be short, they will get hungry and thirsty. Bringing plenty of snacks and drinks gives them a little break from fishing. 【4】 You can use this time while they are eating or playing to do some fishing yourself.
Other than fishing.
Just because they are on a fishing trip doesn’t mean that they have to finish all the time. Let them do things besides fishing as long as it isn’t interfering (打扰) with the people fishing around you. 【5】
A stop on the way home for ice cream or other treats can also be a fun part of the trip. Remember it’s all about them having fun and hopefully wanting to go fishing with you again.
A.Let them help make choices.
B.Make the fishing trip about them.
C.Children love to feel like they are helping out.
D.This can be more exciting to them than the actual fishing.
E.The same is true if you bring a few small toys for them to play with.
F.One way to solve this problem is for you to use the tool the child can use.
G.An hour or possibly two will be about all of the fishing they can handle in a day.
28、 GENETIC testing cannot tell teachers anything useful about an individual pupil’s educational achievement. That is the conclusion of a study that looked at how well so-called polygenic scores for education predict a person’s educational achievements, based on a long-term study of thousands of people in the UK. “Some people with a very low genetic score are very high performers at age 16. Some are even in the top 3 percent,” says Tim Morris at the University of Bristol, UK.
And while Morris expects the accuracy of polygenic scores for educational achievements to improve, he doesn’t think they will ever be good enough to predict how well an individual will do. Even relatively simple qualities such as height are influenced by thousands of genetic variants, each of which may only have a tiny effect. It has been claimed that polygenic scores can be used to make useful predictions, such as a person’s likelihood of developing various diseases. One company is even offering embryo screening (screening of an unborn baby in the very stages of development) based on polygenic scores for disease risk.
Some researchers - notably Robert Plomin of King’s College London - think that schools should start using polygenic scores for educational achievement. In most cases, the scores may reflect qualities such as persistence as well as intelligence.
To assess the usefulness of polygenic scores in education, Morris and his colleagues calculated them for 8,000 people in Bristol who are part of a long-term study known as the Children of the 90s. The participants’ genomes have been queued and their academic results are available to researchers. Among other things, the team found a correlation of 0.4 between a person’s polygenic score and their exam results at age 16. But there would need to be a correlation of at least 0.8 to make useful predictions about individuals, says Morris.
Plomin, however, argues that the results support his opinion. “A correlation of 0.4 makes it the strongest polygenic predictor in the behavioural sciences,” says Plomin. “It’s so much stronger than a lot of other things we base decisions on. So it’s a very big finding.”
Morris says schools already have access to other predictors that are more accurate, such as a pupil’s earlier test results. Looking at parents’ educational achievements is also a better predictor of a pupil’s academic results than studying their genome, his results show. Providing teachers with an extra predictor based on genetics would just confuse matters, says Morris, and the cost cannot be justified.
【1】In paragraph 2, Morris talks about “height” in order to tell readers that _____.
A.some qualities are hardly affected by any genetic variants
B.some qualities are influenced by thousands of genetic variants
C.genetic scores are useful in predicting one’s potential diseases
D.genetic scores can help children improve their scores at school
【2】How did Morris prove the effect of polygenetic scores in education?
A.By providing opposite examples. B.By explaining how the genome works.
C.By listing findings from another scientist. D.By presenting facts and data from research.
【3】According to Plomin, a correlation of 0.4 is reliable because it is _____.
A.useful in telling you how intelligent and persistent children are
B.useful in predicting people who might struggle academically
C.stronger compared to other factors in behavioural sciences
D.strongly correlated to children’s academic achievements
【4】Morris suggested that schools should _____.
A.study every pupil’s genomes
B.spend some money on genetic tests
C.know about parents’ educational achievements
D.provide teachers with students’ genetic information
29、Have you imagined that planting trees can make a big difference? People say that one man can’t make a difference, but Abdul Samad Sheikh, a 60-year-old rickshaw (人力车) driver from Bangladesh, has proved that doing a small thing over a long period of time can mean very much. He has planted at least one tree every day since he was 12 years old, which means that he has so far planted a small forest of over 17,500 trees. Imagine if everyone followed his example.
Abdul has worked as a rickshaw driver for most of his life. He makes a little money from his job, which is only enough to put food on the table for his family, but he somehow tries to also buy at least one tree every day. He considers it his duty to the world. Mostly he plants them on government land so nobody can cut them down later. He also waters them, and if he sees anyone cutting a tree, he blames them.
Abdul, his wife Jorna, and four of their children live in two old houses, on a piece of land that is owned by the Faridpur deputy commissioner’s office. They have no land of their own.
Sometimes, she commands him not to plant trees but he doesn’t listen. Abdul’s 30-year-old son, Kutub Uddin, has never told his father not to plant trees, because he thinks his father does a good thing for society.
Abdul’s neighbors all know about his daily habit, and praise his work. Whoever can ask of him anything, he will do his best to help. Therefore, Abdul is loved by neighbors.
For his efforts, Abdul Samad Sheikh was recently honored by The Daily Star, and given $1,253 to help him build a better home for his family. The Daily Star wished everyone to follow his example, and protect the environment.
“I can’t do it alone. I need the help of you all,” Abdul said in his speech.
【1】What do we know about Abdul?
A．He doesn’t support his family.
B．He plants trees with his own money.
C．He makes a living by doing different jobs.
D．He plants trees to win his neighbors’ praise.
【2】Why does Abdul plant trees on government land?
A．To get money from government.
B．To set a good example to people.
C．To protect them from being cut down.
D．To get a place from government to build his own house.
【3】Which of the following can best describe Abdul?
A．Poor but helpful.
B．Rich and reliable.
C．Uncaring and stupid.
D．Active but dishonest.
【4】What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Driving a rickshaw.
B．Planting trees.
C．Making big money.
D．Building a better home.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835-April 21, 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. Twain grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, which provided the 【1】 for Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. After an apprenticeship with a printer, he worked as a typesetter and 【2】 articles to the newspaper of his older brother, Orion Clemens. He later became a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River before heading west to join Orion in Nevada. He referred humorously to his singular lack of success at mining, turning to journalism for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise. In 1865, his 【3】 story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras spent some time as a miner. The short story brought international attention, and was even translated into 【4】 Greek. His wit and satire, in prose and in speech, earned 【5】 from critics and peers, and he was a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists, and European royalty.
Though Twain earned a great deal of money from his writings and lectures, he 【6】 in ventures that lost a great deal of money, notably the Paige Compositor, a mechanical typesetter, which failed because of its 【7】 and imprecision. Following these financial setbacks, he filed for protection from his creditors via bankruptcy, and with the help of Henry Huttleston Rogers 【8】 overcame his financial troubles. Twain chose to pay all his pre-bankruptcy creditors in full, though he had no legal responsibility to do so.
Twain was born 【9】 after a visit by Halley’s Comet, and he predicted that he would go out with it, too. He died the day after the comet returned. He 【10】 himself as the “greatest American humorist of his age”, and William Faulkner called Twain “the father of American literature”.
