26、 The temperature of the sun is over 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface,but it rises to perhaps more than 16 million degrees at the center.The sun is so much hotter than the earth that matter can exist only as a gas,except at the core.In the core of the sun,the pressures are so great against the gases that,despite the high temperature,there may be a small solid core.However,no one really knows,since the center of the sun can never be directly observed.
Solar astronomers do know that the sun is divided into five layers or zones.Starting at the outside and going down into the sun,the zones are the corona,chromosphere,photosphere,convection zone and finally the core.The first three zones are regarded as the sun's atmosphere ends and the main body of the sun begins.
The sun's outermost layer begins about 10,000 miles above the visible surface and goes outward for millions of miles.This is the only part of the sun that can be seen during an eclipse such as the one in February 1979.At any other time,the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to shut out the glare of the sun's rays.
The corona is a brilliant,pearly white,filmy light,about as bright as the full moon.Its beautiful rays are a sensational sight during an eclipse.The corona's rays flash out in a brilliant fan that has wispy spikelike（一束束穗状）rays near the sun's north and south poles.The corona is thickest at the sun's equator.
The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at tremendous speeds and reaching a temperature of more than 2 million degrees Fahrenheit.The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planets.By the time the sun's corona rays reach the earth,they are weak and invisible.
【1】Matter on the sun can exist only in the form of gas because of the sun’s ________
A.size B.age C.location D.temperature
【2】All of the following are parts of the sun’s atmosphere EXCEPT the ________.
A.cornoa B.core C.photospere D.chromosphere
【3】Accroding the passage, as the corona rays reach the planets, they become ______.
A.hotter B.clearer C.thinner D.stronger
【4】The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses which of the following?
A.The remaining layers of the sun.
B.The evolution of the sun to its present form.
C.The eclipse of February 1979.
D.Scientists will cost more money on researching the corona.
27、We’ve all seen them. They were the unfamiliar and often socially awkward kids. “Who are they?” we all whispered. When we asked our parents about these kids, they replied in that slightly high-nosed tone, “Oh, they’re homeschooled.”
Despite the disgrace which still surrounds homeschooling, parents who choose this form of education are finally getting their benefits. Since 1999, the number of parents who choose to homeschool their children has grown by 75%. And although the number of children in a homeschooling environment still only account for only 4% of the total number of school-going youth, the number of parents choosing to give up “traditional” public education is growing seven times faster than the rate of children being enrolled in public schools each year.
For those who argue that these numbers do not justify the effectiveness of a homeschooled education, we might instead look to the statistics. The typical homeschooled child scores in the 65th to 89th percentile on standardized testing, while the average child in a public school environment scores somewhere around the 50th percentile. Further, homeschooled children have been shown to score consistently higher on the ACT and go on to earn higher GPAs as college students. Homeschooled children have even been shown to achieve four year degrees at much higher rates than students from public school and private schools.
The benefits don’t stop there. Whereas the average total expenditures for a child in public school is near $10,000 a year, those for the homeschooled child average is somewhere between $500 and $600 a year. So not only does homeschooling provide educational benefits, but it provides financial payoffs as well.
But what about socialization? Homeschooled children are considered by many to lack basic social skills, supporters of homeschooling claim this is not true. The National Home Education Research Institute claims that homeschooled children have actually shown to become more socially engaged individuals than their peers, showing “healthy social, psychological, and emotional development, and success into adulthood.”
So what might the future bring? Will more parents opt for homeschooling than public schooling? And what can be done to stop the apparent downfalls in public schooling?
【1】The underlined words “Oh, they’re homeschooled” in Para. 1 suggests that parents__________.
A．are proud of their own children

C．don’t accept socially awkward kids
D．have a low opinion on homeschooling
【2】From Para. 2 we know that the trend of homeschooling __________.
A．is worrying
B．is on the rise
C．remains consistent
D．is going downward
【3】The statistics in Para. 3 is used to show__________.
A．homeschooled kids do better
B．public school education is more effective
C．homeschooled children earn higher GPS at college
D．public school children score in the 50th percentile
【4】The author’s attitude towards homeschooling is __________.
A．critical
B．negative
C．supportive
D．neutral
28、Camden was four years old. Just like what you can expect with a kid at his age, he’ s quite curious and cheerful. However, things started to change one day. He was no longer playing with the other kids in the kindergarten, keeping to himself in the corner. It is unusual for a child to switch personalities in just a matter of days. His teacher decided to get to the bottom of this.
After taking him away from the classroom, the small child admitted having some problems at home. Nancy felt that she needed to contact his father to address her worries. After a phone conversation, Nancy got informed of what she wanted to know. Darreld, Camden’s father, was seriously unwell because his kidneys were becoming weaker by the day and barely operating at 20%, about which his small son, Camden, became concerned.
A youngster cannot live happy without their parent. Nancy had promised her pupil to do everything she could to make things better for them, and she meant it. Nancy was determined to solve the problem once and for all.
Nancy received confirmation that she was a perfect candidate when she received the results of her hospital tests. Darreld’ s relatives and friends had previously been tested to check whether they were a match. Unfortunately, none of them were. Darreld was beginning to lose hope until Nancy made her offer.
To ease Nancy’s loved ones’ worries, the greatest surgeons in Iowa did the kidney removal, because they knew she would be experiencing a risky treatment that only the best in the field could manage. The operation succeeded! Both he and Nancy were expected to recover completely.
Camden was maybe the most affected by his father’ s plight, but now that Darreld is well again, as a result, the small kid has changed back to be happy and active. Camden promises to be Nancy’ s best pupil ever.

C．He was unable to support a large family.
D．Camden didn’t live up to his expectation.

29、 Sometimes, you do not finish drinking your glass of water before you go to bed.【1】But have you ever wondered if it is still safe to drink?
“If you have clean water in a clean glass, you're fine to drink it for a day or two,” Kellogg Schwab from the Johns Hopkins University Water Institute in the US told Time.
【2】That's because after about 12 hours, the carbon dioxide in the air reacts with the water in your glass, slightly lowering its PI I level.
Also, there might be more microorganisms in your water if you leave it out overnight. These microorganisms can stay on your glass.【3】They can make you get sick more easily. But as long as you clean your glasses very often, this will not be a problem.
In countries like the US and UK. people often drink water directly from the tap.【4】Most experts say that tap water has a shelf life of six months, according to Zane Satterfield from West Virginia University. US. After six months, there is less chlorine in the water and bacteria start to grow. You'd better not drink the water otherwise you may get sick.
What about plastic water bottles?【5】If you leave a bottle of water under the sun or in a car for a long period of time, the plastic produces a chemical called BPA. This chemical can cause heart disease arid cancer.

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。
Steven had had his first starring role in kindergarten, playing a talking stone in a class play. From the moment that he heard the applause and took his bows, he knew he wanted to be an actor. He “drew” his name as it would look at a theatre. In his mind, he “practiced” his acceptance speech to the Academy Awards(奥斯卡金像奖). “I want to thank my agent(经纪人)...” he imagined himself saying to the crowd. He wanted to be an actor.
By six grade, he was used to starring in school productions. He played Romeo in this year’s Junior Shakespeare Festival. His brother said he was probably the first Romeo in the history of theatre to have braces(牙套). Steven liked everything about acting-except for his brother’s comments about it. Brad was not interested in acting.
Steven dreamed of going to California or New York when he got older. Meanwhile, he read the “trades” at the library-the newspapers and magazines of the acting business. He couldn’t believe it when he saw that there was going to be an open casting call(演员招雾)in his own Midwestern city. He begged his parents to take him, but they worked on Saturdays and they couldn’t take the day off. He was forced to ask his older brother, the critic.
The part called for a boy who looked about 14. Steven figured he could pass. Unlike Brad, Steven looked older than his age. Brad, on the other hand, at 16 looked more like 14. The boys arrived early at the theatre where the try-outs(试镜)were taking place. There were already over 200 kids there. Steven picked up his application. Brad picked one, too- “just for fun,” he said. Each of them then studied the short script they’d been handed. Like all the other kids, they mouthed the words over and over. Some kids found quiet spaces to read their lines aloud, with all the right emotion.
Steven asked Brad to listen to his reading. “Okay, but you have to listen to mine, too.”
“Deal,” Steven answered. Then he read, and, as usual, he was good. Next, it was Brad’s turn. Steven couldn’t believe what he was seeing and hearing. Why hadn’t Brad ever tried out for a play? Where had he gotten all this talent all of a sudden? He asked his brother, “Why haven’t you tried before?”
“I was waiting for something big,” Brad replied.
注意：
