26、When I volunteered to spend a summer on a land-based whale-watching project in the West of Scotland, the project secretary warned me, “You have to be able to detect the whales from the shore—it’s not as easy as you think.” Although I assumed I was well-qualified for the job, at the start of the project I had a few embarrassing moments screaming “Whale!” before realizing that what I was pointing out were only waves breaking over underwater rocks, not sea creatures at all! After a while, I trained my eyes to “see”—to distinguish between waves hitting rocks and the rolling movement of whales underwater.
I spent a lot of time just watching the sea through my binoculars (双筒望远镜), looking actively for anything that indicated sea life below. My binoculars enabled me to spot the fins (鳍) of a dolphin against the darkness of the sea, and without a good pair of binoculars I definitely would have missed out on lots of amazing sea life.
In addition, I eventually realized that the birds provide us with signals that whales and dolphins may be in the area. Where there is a group of feeding seabirds such as seagulls or gannets, there is often a whale feeding under them. Gannets are really easy to spot from a distance—they drop out of the sky at speeds of up to 100 kph, spearing the surface and sending bursts of water up behind them.
If you want to try this activity, it is worth organizing and planning carefully for whale-watching. I recommend having a notebook and pencil nearby to record details of what you’ve seen and the environmental conditions at the time. This is not only a helpful aid in general, but you can also contribute your sightings to research projects such as the Sea Watch Foundation, which are monitoring the distribution of whales and dolphins.
Despite the early disappointments I had, I think there is undoubtedly something very special about watching whales. Nothing can compare with the secret thrill and the peacefulness of seeing a wild animal just doing its own thing.
【1】What did the author learn from the embarrassing moments?
A.It was hard to carry out the project.
B.The project secretary was very strict.
C.Most whales were not afraid of humans.
D.Whale-watching was not as easy as expected.
【2】An effective technique for finding whales is .
A.noticing bursts of water
B.observing them from a distance
C.watching feeding seabirds
D.organizing and planning carefully
【3】The author advised whale watchers to .
A.record whale-watching details
B.be careful when watching whales
C.watch whales from the shore only
D.seek help from the Sea Watch Foundation
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.Pleasant summer memories
B.The thrill of watching whales
C.Useful whale-watching advice
D.A fantastic world under the water

28、When I was an eight-year-old girl, Mother told me to put my coat on because we were going to go somewhere special. Usually, that meant we were going to see someone important or that I would at least get a new toy. I asked which one it would be that day, and she told me that I would be getting something better than a toy. She said I would get “access to a world of toys”.
But we did not end up at any toy store. Nor did we finally see anyone we knew. Instead, Mother pulled her car at Marcy Public Library. Mother led me directly to the reception desk. “I’d like to get my daughter a library card,” she told the man behind the desk. He asked her to fill out a form and smiled at me. “What kind of books do you like?” he asked. I was too shy to reply then. I simply smiled back and shrugged my shoulders. “Well, you’ll figure it out in time” he said.
I do not remember what I checked out that first day, but I know that in the years that followed I read everything I could find of interest at that old library. I read through all the Nancy Drew books before advancing to Judy Blume, then the classics: Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Shakespeare. Then I read books on history, books of poetry, and books about art. The library opened up a world that I never knew existed.
So Mother was right. Getting a library card was like getting access to a world of toys.
【1】Why did the author’s mother ask her to put on the coat?
A.To eat delicious food.
B.To go to someplace special.
C.To swim.
D.To meet important people.
【2】Where did the author’s mother park her car?
A.at Marcy Public Library.
B.at any toy store.
C.at that old library.
D.Judy Blume.
【3】Which is right according to the passage?
A.The author is outgoing and active.
B.The author is shy when asked.
C.The author only read books on history.
D.Her mother was unwilling to let her read.
【4】What’s the title of the passage?
A.Getting a library card.
B.Making a lot of money.
C.Getting a car.
D.Getting a good book.
29、 I grew up on a farm outside Port Clinton, Ohio. I was the youngest son, with four brothers and four sisters, plus a girl my relatives took in when she was in sixth grade and was raised along with us.
By the late 60s, most of us were married and had families of our own. One day, while we were visiting my parents in late summer or early fall, Dad mentioned he’d always wanted a Crimson King maple tree for the yard. Mom agreed that they were pretty.
Like many parents, mine were hard to shop for, so I figured this was a great opportunity to get them something they’d appreciate. I checked the price at work and decided it was a bit more than I could afford but all of my brothers and sisters agreed to help.
In northern Ohio, people don’t plant maple trees at Christmas, so we decided to surprise Mom and Dad with a special Christmas in October before the ground froze. We asked my aunt if she’d help us with the trick, and she called my parents in advance to say she was coming for a Sunday visit. Then my sisters and sisters-in-law went into action, planning a big holiday turkey dinner.
On the chosen Sunday, we all met at my house and loaded the trees in a pickup truck. I dressed up as Santa Claus, though at the time I weighed about 140, so all the padding(填料) in the world couldn’t make me look like St. Nick. Then off we went, nine or ten cars loaded with people and food, plus the pickup truck.
When the truck arrived at my parents’ house, Dad came out of the back door, convinced something was wrong. He and Mom were amazed when we told them why we were there.
When Christmas rolled around, of course, we couldn’t go to our parents’ house empty-handed, so Mom and Dad got double presents that year. Almost half a century later, I still drive by the old farm and smile when I see those big, handsome trees.
【1】Why did the author decide to buy his parents a maple tree as a Christmas present?
A.Maple trees could catch people’s eye.
B.Maple trees were very rare in northern Ohio.
C.His parents hoped to have one in the garden.
D.The author liked the maple tree when he was young.
【2】What does the underlined part “the trick” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.The surprise the author was preparing.

【3】What can we infer from Paragraph 5?

B.The author was eager to visit his parents.
C.The author looked like Father Christmas.
D.The author meant to create a Christmas atmosphere.

31、
For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a 【1】 conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about 【2】: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to any responsibility for starting it. From the parents' point of view, the only 【3】 of their fight is their adolescents' complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.
In this article, I'll describe three no-win situations that commonly 【4】 between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over 【5】 things. Examples include the color of the teen's hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his 【6】 to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad 【7】 is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn't matter what the topic is--politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg--the 【8】 of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority--someone who actually knows something--and therefore to 【9】 respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to 【10】 that they know more than the other, they'll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.
