26、On an island in northern Norway, the sun doesn’t set from May 18 right through to July 26. The locals, having spent the long polar night from November to January, when the sun doesn’t rise at all, make the most of these months, with no regard to conventional timekeeping. The island intends to exchange its watches for flower garlands (花环) and declare itself the world’s first time-free zone.
“There’s constant daylight, and we act accordingly,” says islander Kjell Ove Hveding in a statement. “In the middle of the night, which citizens might call ‘2 am’, you can spot children playing soccer, people painting their houses or mowing their lawns, and teens going for a swim.”
Now they want to make it official. Islanders gathered at a town hall meeting to sign a petition (请愿) for a time-free zone and on June 13, Hveding met with a Norwegian member of parliament (国会) to hand over the locals’ signatures and to discuss the practical and legal challenges.
“To us, getting this in writing would simply mean formalizing the lifestyle we have been living for generations,” he says.
Islanders hope to be free of traditional opening hours and to introduce flexibility in school and working hours. Fishing and tourism are the main industries on this island with a population of little more than 300 people. Local fisher and women often spend days on the ocean for their catch, with little regard to timetable.
It’s clear that they mean business. When visitors cross the bridge to the island from the mainland, they aren’t greeted with padlocks (symbolizing love locks) like on similar bridges worldwide. The bridge is covered with watches, as people prepare for entry to the land time forgot.
【1】What do the islanders normally do at midnight from May 18 to July 26?
A．Do daily work or have fun.
B．Sleep like outside people.
C．Struggle with strong light.
D．Turn watches into flowers.
【2】What can we learn about the islanders’ living a life free of time?
A．It is difficult to describe.
B．It has been a long tradition.
C．It is a new kind of lifestyle.
D．It proves practical and legal.
【3】What does the underlined part “they mean business” mean in the last paragraph?
A．Visitors actually prefer watches on bridges.
B．Visitors are ready to enter a time-free island.
C．The islanders intend to treat tourism as business.
D．The islanders are serious about being free of time.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A．An island wants to be a time-free zone officially.
B．Islanders in Norway have been free from time.
C．It’s time to lead a life without the limit of time.
D．An island won’t be open to the world any longer.
27、The area in front of Janet and Jeffrey Crouch’s house in Columbia, Maryland, does not look usual for their neighbourhood. That is because the Crouches do not have a grass lawn(草坪). Instead, they have some small trees and many native plants.
In recent years, support for replacing lawns with native plants has been increasing in the US. It can be costly to keep a lawn looking good and green. But the Crouches had to spend much more money for the right not to have one.
People living in a house next to them complained to their homeowner’s association, or HOA. HOAs can make rules about the plants that homeowners in a neighbourhood are permitted to grow. Many HOAs require grass lawns. The HOA ordered the Crouches to pull out their native plants and put in grass. However, they refused. “We knew we were doing things that were beneficial for the environment, ” said Janet Crouch.
Lawns are called environmental dead zones in part because they provide no food or shelter for wildlife. They also do not support pollinators like birds, bees, and butterflies. Bee populations have been getting smaller in North America and may be getting smaller around the world.
There are other reasons that lawns are bad for the environment. They require a lot of water and chemicals. Large amounts of water can remove nutrients from the soil. After the water removes the nutrients, people buy even more chemicals to put on their lawns. Scientists say some of these chemicals might cause cancer and other health problems. There are over 16million hectares of grass lawns in the US. That means lawns use more water than any other irrigated(灌溉)crop in the country.
The Crouches’ battle against their HOA took three years. They say they spent $60, 000 fighting to keep their natural garden. They won. Because of their efforts, the state of Maryland passed a law that lets people grow native plants instead of grass, no matter what their HOA wants.
【1】Which is one of HOA’s responsibilities?
A．Developing and interpreting all relevant laws.
B．Protecting the balance of nature in the community.
C．Maintaining a unified greenery within the community.
D．Dealing with all the requirements of residents.
【2】Why did the Crouches give up the lawn in front of their house?
A．To attract people’s attention.
B．To improve the neighbourhood relations.
C．To save on the cost of lawn maintenance.
D．To better improve the ecological environment.
【3】Which of the following might the Crouches agree?
A．Lawns are suitable for bee reproduction.
B．Local plants are environmentally friendly.
C．Local plants can prevent soil and water pollution.
D．Lawns are beneficial for soil and water conservation.
【4】Which can best describe the Crouches?
A．Determined.
B．Humorous.
C．Brave.
D．Careful.
28、Some intelligent African giant rats are helping humans save lives through search and rescue missions while wearing tiny backpacks.
A British research scientist, Dr. Kean is training 170 rats to be sent into earthquake ruins to do vital work in finding earthquake survivors. These rescue rats are equipped with tiny backpacks that contain microphones, video cameras, and location trackers. These tools will allow the rescue teams to communicate with earthquake survivors in real-time.
Dr. Kean expressed how the rescue rats are ideal for this type of work, saying, “Rats would be able to get into small spaces to get victims buried in the ruins.” The highly clever rats are skillful at surviving in different environments and their natural agility (敏捷) makes them ideal for use in hard-to-navigate disaster zones. The rescue rats are even being trained to respond to the sound that call them back.
Dr. Kean’s team work together with the non-profit organization APOPO for their “Hero Rats” project. These “Hero Rats” are set to start working with a search and rescue team in Turkey, joining earthquake rescue efforts in the high-risk area, The group of 170 rats is being trained for additional projects involving landmines, tuberculosis (结核病), and even smelling out Brucellosis, an infectious disease that impacts farm animals. Dt. Kean feels hopeful about her project’s promising results and is excited that her team is the only organization in this field working with this species.

32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Before the sun had even broke across the horizon, young Larkin Wyley was anxious to start his day. Larkin was confident that he was going to make a big paleontology （考古）discovery.
As his parents drove him to the digging site, it was hard for Larkin to contain his excitement. “Just think, in a couple of hours I may be holding something millions of years old!" , said Larkin. "Well, that would be something, Larkin. But remember, paleontology is hard work. The most important thing is to just have fun today," said his dad. "And if things don't turn out like you had hoped, that's okay. Just keep at it." said Larkin's mom.
Larkin appreciated his parents' advice, but quickly reminded them about the local farmer who had discovered a fossilized dinosaur egg many years before. "Where there's one, there's sure to be more!” said Larkin with great excitement. Then the Wyley family drove up a long country dirt-road, where Larkin's grandparents owned land. And it was there that Larkin knew he would find his T-Rex.
So after a nice breakfast with his family, Larkin set out on his exciting search for the discovery of a lifetime. The front-yard of his grandparents' farmhouse was where Larkin decided to break ground next. So he started to dig. And then he dug. And then he dug some more. And then, BINGO!!! Much to Larkin's amazement, he unearthed what clearly was the next best thing to a fossilized dinosaur egg --- dinosaur bones. The bones were caked in mud. Larkin gathered them up and ran towards the house as fast as he could.
After rushing inside and announcing his discovery to his family, it was brought to Larkin's attention that he had actually unearthed steak bones buried by his Grandparents' dog Millie. Larkin wasn't happy, but his family reminded him that paleontology was hard work, and to just keep at it.
Close to his grandparents' farmhouse was a long and winding creek. And it was there that Larkin decided to break ground next. So he started to dig. And then he dug. And then he dug.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为1段，75词左右；
2.此段的开头语已为你写好；
Suddenly, Larkin noticed an orange-colored rock sticking out in the mud.
