24、Maine’s wild blueberry (蓝莓) fields are home to one of the most important fruit crops in the northeastern United States. But scientists working with the University of Maine have found they are warming at a faster rate than the rest of the state. The researchers say the blueberries may be at risk because the rising temperatures have brought a loss of water. The scientists studied 40 years of data and found that the state experienced a 1.1 ℃ increase in average temperature. But the blueberry fields experienced an increase of 1.3 ℃.
Rafa Tasnim is an ecology and environmental science student at the University of Maine and the study’s lead writer. She says the lack of water caused by the temperature difference can result in smaller crop sizes and she is afraid that the blueberries are less likely to survive. “What we are expecting is that the temperature is going to increase a lot and we will not get as much rainfall in the summertime especially,” said Tasnim.
Maine is home to the only for-profit producers of wild blueberries in the US. The blueberries are smaller and have a slightly different flavor than other kinds of blueberries. Most of the crop is used to supply frozen fruit. Maine growers compete with those in eastern Canada which also produce the fruit.
The wild blueberry industry in Maine has been affected in recent years by environmental change, as well as the lack of water last year. Farmers produced 21.5 million kilograms of Maine wild blueberries last year. That has been the lowest number since 2004. The researchers have found that the wild blueberry growers need to change their planting and watering methods and fertilizer use to prepare for future climate change.
【1】What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A.The blueberry fields.
B.States.
C.The fruit crops.
D.Experiences.
【2】How does Tasnim feel about the blueberry production in Maine?
A.Puzzled.
B.Confident.
C.Anxious.
D.Curious.
【3】What do the researchers expect the blueberry growers to do?
A.Stop using fertilizers.
B.Supply frozen blueberries.
C.Take corresponding measures in advance.
D.Change the blueberries’ flavor.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Heavy Rainfall Threatens Wild Blueberries
B.Climate Change Affects Maine’s Blueberry Crops
C.Blueberries Are Badly in Need of Protection
D.US Blueberry Growers Face Competition from Canada

26、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。
My last morning with Jesse began like so many others. I woke him up with a song and kissed him until he giggled (咯咯地笑). It was a beautiful, sunny morning but so cold that my car was coated with a layer of frost. Jesse's father, Neil, arrived to take Jesse to school. We finalized plans to meet at Jesse's elementary school the next morning. When I turned to kiss Jesse goodbye, I saw that he'd written a note to me in the frost on the passenger-side window and door — I Love You. He stood there smiling at me.
When Neil and Jesse got to school, Neil parked the car and walked with Jesse through the front door and into the main hallway, where they hugged goodbye as usual. Jesse put his hands on Neil's shoulders. “I just want you to know it's going to be OK. I love you and Mom.” Then Jesse turned and walked away down the hall towards his first-grade classroom.
I'd been at work for about an hour when my colleague Tina sent me an instant message: “Did you hear about a shooting at a school in Newton?”
The message shocked me, but I remained calm. Even if the report were true, what were the odds that of all the schools in Newton, something like that would happen at the school that Jesse or my older son J. T. attended? Then my phone rang.
It was my friend and neighbour Diane. “Did you hear that a teacher got shot in the foot at Jesse's school?” she asked. A second later, every electronic device around me was ringing, either asking me what was going on or giving me fragments (片段) of information they’d heard. It was too much for my brain to assemble, but it seemed clear that there had been a shooting, and had definitely happened at Sandy Hook Elementary — Jesse's school.
Then Neil called, worried. “Nothing really bad could have happened, Neil. This is Sandy Hook! Jesse is fine,” I said. Neil was heading out to pick up Jesse at the Sandy Hook firehouse, which had been designated as the official meeting place for parents and students. I decided I would just go, as well in case Jesse needed comforting.
We searched all the places nearby for Jesse, but in vain.
