26、I’ve personally traveled through many countries that have had U. S. government warnings issued(发布) for them, and I’ve been perfectly safe. In the last year, I have travelled safely to both the Philippines and Mexico, and traveled to many South Pacific islands during the tropical cyclone (热带气旋) season and only experienced two days of light rain in six months! This is, of course, anecdotal(轶事的), so it’s important that you do your research before booking your trip.
One thing I suggest doing is checking for recent posts on travel forums(论坛), such as Lonely Planet’s Thorntree, to see what people are saying about the country you’ll visit in terms of safety. The U. S. government may make out that the whole country is quite unsafe when in reality, it’s a small part of it that tourists will be unlikely to visit. Read the travel warnings, too, to see which parts of the country the government advises you not to visit.
And then, it’s worth speaking to your travel insurance provider before you leave to check that you’ll be covered during your travels to these countries. Some insurance(保险) companies won’t cover you if there’s a severe warning for the country, but some will. Travel insurance is a necessity, so it’s something to check out before you leave.
Keep in mind that the U. S. government will help you with emergency evacuation (撤离) from a troubled country but it comes in the form of a repatriation (归国) loan via the Office of American Citizens Services and Crisis Management (ACS), which can be called upon to save you from a bad situation abroad. Remember by heart that you’ll have to wait overseas for the money to arrive and eventually repay the loan once you’re home safely. Just another reason to get travel insurance!
【1】What should you do before a travel according to Paragraph 1?
A.Make a good route plan.
B.Read the travel books first.
C.Ask the government for help.
D.Make a careful study of the trip.
【2】What does the author advise you to check for on travel forums?
A.Tourist places.
B.Travel safety.
C.Lonely planet.
D.Weather forecast.
【3】Why is it necessary to know about travel insurance companies?
A.They seldom talk with customers.
B.They sometimes offer bad service.
C.They may provide false information.
D.Some of them don’t cover all the countries.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.ACS will repay the loan for you.
B.U.S government is very generous.
C.Getting travel insurance is a best choice.
D.It’s easy to escape from a troubled country.
27、When I was 10, I was always joked by my fellow Co-Curricular Activities (CCA) mates, including John. Words were like, “Dick is the best player in the CCA! He only knows how to play ‘Mary had a Little Lamb’ on the trumpet (小号)!”
Once, the moment I left the school, I took out my earpiece, listening to recordings like a broken recorder. I got so engrossed (专注) that I didn’t see the wall in front and fell on the ground. Luckily for me, a passer-by saw what had happened and immediately called the ambulance. When I woke up in the hospital, however, the nurse told me that I suffered severe leg injuries. I could have stopped practicing but that was not what I wanted. I wanted to practice even in the hospital. “One leg injury would not stop me; it would only make me feel more motivated,” I replied to the nurse.
That was a hard period of my life. If I had not been careless, I would not have this problem. Yet if I haven’t gotten myself into this problem, I would not be as motivated and would not have that experience teaching me a life lesson. My parents and my best friend had come to give me emotional support, telling me what had happened during CCA today and advising me on how to become a better player. After day-and-night hard practice, I finally perfected and went back to my CCA.
On the selection day itself, the conductor praised me and asked how I had improved so much. I explained that it was because of my determination, my family and my friends. The conductor then said that I was a role model and that the whole band should follow my motivation and practice instead of being like John. This experience made me what I am today. Currently, I am the best player and the head of the secondary school military band.
【1】What did the author want to do after hearing the nurse’s words?

【2】Why was the author praised by the conductor?
A.He got the first prize on the selection day.

【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A terrible accident
B.An unexpected result
C.A desire to be better
D.An experience to shape myself
28、 Widespread descriptions of animals in pop culture could actually be hurting the animals’ survival chances in the wild, new research suggests.
Franck Courchamp of the University of Paris-Sud was interested in the idea of “appeal”in animals. He wanted to know: What species do people consider appealing? And what are the influences of being appealing on populations in the wild?
In a research published this month, Courchamp and other researchers list the top 20 appealing species. Most of the animals identified as appealing are large mammals living on land. Coming in first place were tigers, followed by lions, elephants, giraffes, panthers, pandas, cheetahs, polar bears, wolves, and gorillas. However, at least half of the interviewees didn’t realize that five of the top ten most appealing species are threatened. It is paradoxical that we haven’t been able to protect the species we care about the most.
The study also found that we are flooded with images of these creatures, even as they are becoming fewer in the wild. The study suggests that too much of imagination might be creating a “virtual(虚拟的) population” of the animals in peoples’ minds, making them believe there are far more individuals in the wild than is exact.
The study authors suggest that companies who benefit from the use of these images should set aside a small percentage of their profits for protection efforts and informational campaigns. “That would be not only something fair, but that would be something that could bring a win-win situation for them,” Courchamp says. It could bring them positive public relation, for example. Besides, if a company’s mascot(吉祥物) goes extinct, that could hurt them from a marketing point, Courchamp says. But not enough companies are “truly concerned about the protection of the species that they work on,” he adds.
【1】It can be inferred that the widespread images of animals in pop culture ________.
A.leads people to forget the less appealing animals
B.makes a false impression of the animals’ real situation
C.raises people’s wildlife protection attention and efforts
D.brings a win-win situation for both animals and companies
【2】What does the writer mean by saying the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?
A.It is important to protect these endangered species.
B.It is natural to regard the large mammals as attractive.
C.It is terrible that the species are dying out at an alarming speed.
D.It is strange that people’s thoughts contrast with their behaviors.
【3】Courchamp lists the companies’ responsibilities and their advantages by ________.
A.giving examples B.making definition
C.making comparisons D.using numbers
【4】What’s Courchamp’s attitude to the companies benefiting from animal images?
A.Neutral. B.Supportive.
C.Dissatisfied. D.Positive.
29、A new United Nations report says a warming planet and changes to land use suggest an increase in wildfires around the world in the coming years. The report says these wildfires will cause an increase in smoke pollution and other problems that world governments are not prepared for.
The western United States, central India and eastern Australia are already seeing more wildfires. Even areas once considered safe from major fires, such as the Arctic, will very likely experience a major increase in burning. Tropical (热带的) forests in Indonesia and the southern Amazon of South America are also likely to see increased wildfires, according to the report.
The report describes n worsening series of events. Climate change will bring more dry periods and higher temperatures that make it easy for fires to start and spread. Those fires then give off more climate-changing carbon into the atmosphere as they burn through forests. Some areas, including parts of Africa, are seeing a fall in wildfires. That is because more land is being used for agriculture.
But UN researchers said many nations continue to spend too much time and money fighting fires and not enough trying to get rid of the causes of fires. Land use changes can make the fires worse. The report said the remains left behind by the logging (伐木) industry can easily bum. And sone forests are purposely burned to clear land for farming.
Poor communities are often hit hardest by fires. Wildfires can worsen water quality, destroy crops and reduce land available to grow food. They affect people’s jobs and their economic situation. Fires are as harmful as floods and droughts.
UN researchers also called for more careful attention to the dangers from wildfire smoke inhalation, which can affect tens of millions of people’s health each year. Smoke from major wildfires can travel thousands of kilometers across international borders.
【1】What does the second paragraph show us?
A.Main reasons for some wildfires.
B.The differences between wildfires.
C.The importance of the report.
D.Some findings of the report.
【2】Why are wildfires in some African areas dropping?
A.Forests are well protected.
B.Land for agriculture is increasing.
C.Temperatures are not so high.
D.Farmers are more careful of fires.
【3】What can he inferred from the words of UN researchers?
A.Many nations fail to put out fires.
B.Too much money is wasted on fires.
C.More should be done to prevent fires.
D.Farmland should be turned into forests.
【4】What does the underlined word “inhalation” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Turning up.
B.Breathing in.
C.Gathering together.
D.Giving off.
