26、 ＂Has anyone seen Charge?"I asked,only half expecting a reply.The kids were running around the house,each doing their own thing,and my husband was watching the football game. Since she had only been out of sight for a few hours,I wasn't overly concerned.I thought she must be under one of the kids' beds,hiding from all the mess that was normal for a Sunday afternoon in our home.
Charge was not good looking,to put it kindly.It wasn't her fault;she was simply gifted with the worst appearance in her background.
My husband had found Charge wandering along the freeway one day on his way home from work.She looked as though she hadn't eaten in weeks,so he stopped and fed her with bits of his leftover lunch.Not knowing what to do,he brought her home with the hope of finding her owners or at least a loving family that would take her.However,once she was in the house,the kids were determined not to let her go.After a day or two of begging,we unwillingly gave in and told them we could keep her.
After observing her actions for a few days,I found she was extremely distrustful and afraid of everyone.In time,though,she came to love the kids and slept on their beds every night.I wondered if what she had experienced had conditioned her to be protective of those who were hurting.Every time the kids cried,Charge would run to them and gently offer her comforting paw. Unlike our cat, who had recently given birth to five kittens,Charge would have been a great mother.
When I was finally able to get everyone's attention at the dinner table,I asked again if anyone had seen Charge.After an all-in-one voice"No",I decided to take a look around the neighborhood.
"Who wants to go look for Charge with me?" I asked as I opened the door of the hall closet and reached in to gel my shoes.
“Charge!"I cried,because there she was in the closet!She looked up at me from inside the little cats'box as if to say,"Shhh,I just got them to sleep!"
We usually kept the closet door open a bit so our mamma cat could go in and feed her kittens, but she always left as soon as she finished nursing.Obviously,Charge knew they needed more mamma time and was more than willing to help out.
The kids smiled upon seeing the dog with the kittens.My husband shook his head and said,“Only you,Charge.Only you!"
Charge continued to mother the kittens until they were placed in their new homes.Charge may not have been an attractive dog,but she truly had her inner beauty.

A.the kids were not willing to play with Charge

27、Megan
I’m base in Bahrain, and I have a small apartment there. The thing I like most about my job is the chance to meet people from different cultures. I spend a lot of my time handing out food and drinks and clearing up people’s rubbish. I certainly don’t feel very excited about going home at two in the morning.
Frank
I enjoy playing around with word puzzles. So I sent a couple in to a local newspaper and I suppose it is a strange way to spend your day surrounded by dictionaries and books, but it’s great because I’m just doing what I like.
Gemma
I love music and listen to it all the time, even when I go jogging. As for my job – you really can’t be shy in this kind of work, and you have to be very patient because sometimes we practice for hours before we get it right. When we’re on tour, we work for several weeks with no breaks and you can get really tired. For relaxation, whenever I get a holiday, I go straight to a sunny beach.
Raoul
Most people think I spend my day chopping (切) vegetables and washing dishes, but it’s not that simple. I have to be really careful with the food and keep everything very clean. The biggest problem is my boss – he shouts at me all the time – even, for example, if I forget to wash up one plate. Actually, I’m hoping to find a new job soon because I don’t get much time off.
【1】What’ s the biggest attractions of Megan’s job?
A. The long holidays B. Handing out food to people.
C. Getting to know different people D. The pleasant working environment
【2】Who love working with words?

28、Australian cities can keep their native wildlife — but only if they can kick their habit of urban sprawl (扩展). That’s the finding of a new study by leading Australian environmental researchers Jessica Sushinsky, Professor Hugh Possingham and Dr. Richard Fuller of The University of Queensland.
“While urban development usually reduces the number of birds in a city, building more compact (紧凑的) cities and avoiding urban sprawl can slow these reductions greatly,” says lead author Jessica Sushinsky. “Compact housing development leaves birds’ homes untouched, leading to fewer losses of birds.”
The researchers surveyed native and wild birds in Brisbane’s urban areas, including living and industrial areas, public parks and gardens, major roadways and airports. They then used statistical modeling to find out what will happen to the birds as the city grows. The first setting was compact growth — where multiple homes are built on land that previously had only one house. The second setting was sprawling growth — a familiar pattern where homes are built here and there beyond the city’s current boundaries.
The team’s forecasts showed that a much greater diversity of species was lost over 20 years in the sprawling setting compared to the more compact setting. “Urban sprawl resulted in the disappearance of many urban-sensitive birds — birds that only live in areas where there is native vegetation (植被), such as parklands and woodlands,” Ms. Sushinsky says.
“On the other hand, we found the city with the compact development attracted more birds because it kept more of its parks and green areas.”
Now the Queensland Government has adopted the more compact urban growth strategy, which, Dr. Richard Fuller says, is good news for Australia’s native birds. These birds are environmental specialists — they need a particular environment to do well. “While compact development means smaller backyards, it can also make our entire cities more biodiverse,” according to Dr. Fuller. “The study shows that we should hold on to our green spaces instead of clearing them for sprawling development.”
This is the first time science has modeled the effects of different urban growth strategies on birds, the researchers say. “Statistical models like these are important because they help us to understand the ecological consequences of a particular decision,” says Dr Fuller.
【1】Why is compact urban growth better than the sprawling strategy?
A. It makes the cities more beautiful. B. It gives people larger backyards.
C. It is money-saving. D. It is bird-friendly.
【2】Dr Richard Fuller thinks the Queensland Government’s action ______.
A. is really brave B. is worth praising
C. has an uncertain future D. should be performed nationwide
【3】What can we learn about the study from the passage?
A. It is based on the statistics in the past.
B. It is strongly against urban development.
C. It criticizes the city environment in Brisbane.
D. It suggests leaving more green spaces for birds.
【4】Where does the passage probably come from?
A. A news report. B. A travel guide.
C. A health magazine. D. A history book.

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。
It was one of those days when nothing seemed to go right. I dragged myself out of the bed and all of the routines began early. I dropped my two older children at school with relief and unwillingly headed to the supermarket to buy groceries with my youngest. I wasn't feeling any sense of appreciation for my comfortable home or lovely family.
I was getting mad with this early day, and my son, just four years old at that time, was being difficult. I raced around to pick the items with no regard to cost, while trying to control my naughty child whose behavior had now added to my complete displeasure. Yes, I was that mother, threatening, and roaring at a small child.
We eventually made it to the checkout and stood in the queue waiting for our turn. After a short time, I noticed that someone had joined the line behind us. I turned and saw an old man. He wore a dirty overcoat. His shoes were worn out, and his trousers tapped around sockless ankles on this cold, wet day. In his hands he just carried a small box of long-life milk.
I had too many groceries. I asked him if he'd like to go ahead of me. It wasn't an act of kindness on my part, also not my automatic reaction. Perhaps I just did out of a sense of guilt, or I just wanted him gone. After all, his presence made me uncomfortable. In the same way, I felt uncomfortable and avoided my eyes when passing a homeless person.
He didn't respond to me as if I had said nothing to him. I looked at him and repeated my words. This time, I was sure that he had heard what I said.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
He looked surprised and uncertain.
