26、City people usually think they are a lot smarter than country people. They often laugh at simple country ways. But people do not laugh at country music. It is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today.
Perhaps it is so popular because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events—love, sadness, good times and bad times, it tells real life stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more and more complicated(复杂的), it is good to hear music about ordinary people.
Country music, sometimes called country western, comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the West. The singers usually play the guitars, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars.
At first city people said country music was low-class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World War Ⅱ, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps in the South. They learned to like country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country.
Today country music is popular everywhere in the United States and Canada, in small towns and in New York City, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people. About 1,200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day. People sing it in their languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor farmers is now popular all over the world.

A. it is about ordinary people B. it is easy to learn

A. why people love country music in the United States

A. all people enjoy country music all over the world

27、 A new deadly virus is threatening rabbits in North America. It’s a particular disease of rabbits that has recently appeared in some parts of the Western US. If it continues to spread unchecked, it could harm all species of rabbits in the US and the ecosystems they belong to.
It is thought to have spilled over from one species to another—in the case of the novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒), likely a bat to humans; in the rabbit disease, from domestic to wild rabbits—and both arose so quickly that health officials had a limited window to act.
“The disease likely originated around a decade ago in European rabbits, which contain most domestic rabbits sold in the US,” said Matt Gompper, a disease ecologist. Then, in early March, another virus was discovered in wild rabbits in southern New Mexico. A few days later, dead rabbits were spotted nearby in El Paso, Texas. More sightings followed in Arizona, Colorado and, in May, in California. Ecologists aren’t sure how virus type 2 arrived in the US. Gompper said he predicted the disease worked its way through rabbit meat or the domestic rabbit trade. It also might have been circulating in northern Mexico, which shares a border with New Mexico and Texas.
Because the disease is so new, there’s virtually no data on deaths. So while it’s still concerning, ecologists aren’t sure if the illness will cause concentrated outbreaks in local areas or widespread deaths across the US. Either way, it’s a loss for conservation. Several rabbit species, including California’s Riparian brush rabbit are endangered, and they’re already up against habitat loss. A potential disease could prevent their recovery.
“Rabbits aren’t the only ones who’d suffer, though. If rabbit population decreases, then the predators (捕食者) who prey on them would lose a valuable food source, and the plants they eat may overgrow, shaking the whole ecosystem,” Gompper said.
【1】What does the underlined phrase “spilled over” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Appeared. B.Changed.
C.Spread. D.Connected.
【2】What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 3?
A.To tell how the disease came to the US.
B.To warn of the serious danger of the virus.
C.To tell us how to deal with the disease.
D.To provide some advice for the readers.
【3】What can we infer from the text?
A.The disease has spread around the world.
B.The disease is not dangerous until recently.
C.The disease has little impact on environment.
D.The disease could harm the whole ecosystem.
【4】Which is the main idea of the text?
A.Rabbits are facing a deadly virus.
B.A deadly virus is threatening the world.
C.Rabbits are important to the ecosystem.
D.Rabbits are easily infected with the virus.
28、When I was a child, my father bought me a new toy every other week when he received his pay check. I loved to take the toys apart to learn their basic principles, and then put them back together.
Most of the time, the toys still worked, but I clearly remember getting a toy robot that would walk either forwards or backwards. I took the robot apart, but when I put it back together, it couldn’t walk any more. I figured out what was wrong with it but was not able to fix it. It was especially disappointing because I really liked the robot.
By the time I was ten or so, my parents allowed me to play outdoors alone. During the summer, on the junk day, I would check out what people were throwing away. People did not use garbage bags then, so all waste was in metal cans, which made it easy to check out what was in the waste. I took home some equipment, radios, and televisions. I took them apart and learned how they were built.
Through learning by myself, I built a telephone. I made my own microphone (扩音器) by taking apart old dry batteries and taking the carbon rods (碳棒) out of them. I then broke the rods into powder and used the carbon powder to make the microphone. I used the microphone in my home-made telephone. Later, I made another carbon microphone, which I connected in series with a speaker I took from an old radio. I put the speaker in a bush by the sidewalk and ran wires around the side of the house where the batteries and my home-made microphone were. I had much fun playing jokes on people walking by with that device (装置).

A．He took apart an old telephone.
B．He looked for them everywhere.

B．He was laughed at by others.
C．He didn’t study hard at school.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the pups and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a pull on his coat. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy.
“Mister,” he said, “I want to buy one of your puppies.”
“Well,” said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat of the back of his neck, “These puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money.”
The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. “I’ve got 89 cents. Is that enough at least to take a look?”
“Sure,” said the farmer. And with that he let out a whistle. “Here, Dolly!” he called.
Out from the doghouse and down the ramp(坡道) ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight. As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse.
Slowly another little fur ball appeared, this one noticeably smaller. Down the ramp it slid. Then the little pup began awkwardly wobbling(蹒跚) toward the others, doing its best to catch up. “I want that one,” the little boy said, quickly pointing to the pup.
The farmer knelt down at the boy’s side and said, “Son, you don’t want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.”
