26、 The Caballero family from Tempe, Arizona were outside on their regularly scheduled walk with their dog named Olive when they were joined by a tiny baby gray fox. Now, apparently, the fox mistook Olive for her mother and started following them around the neighborhood.
The fox was about 20 centimeters in length and had a gray coat. They later found out that she was just 6 weeks old at that point. The tiny fox followed them home, where the sprinklers were on at that moment, so she ran to have a drink, which is when Rosalyn noticed how thirsty she was as she couldn’t stop drinking.
Considering that the fox was far away from home and her mother, alone-something that is not typical of foxes, the family decided it would he best to get in touch with Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center for help.
They found a box and captured the baby fox so that she wouldn’t wander off into danger. They got the fox inside the box without touching her. The kids were quick to name her Foxy.
The fox was soon brought to the Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center. She was first fed using syringes(注射器), but now has learned how to eat on her own from a bowl.
"She appears to be doing quite well. She was a little dehydrated(脱水)when we got her but otherwise healthy. She was already eating solid food, so we’ve manager to fatten her up a hit in the short time she’s been at Southwest Wildlife. She’s likely to grow up into a strong, healthy girl," explained Jim Mitchell of the Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center.
Foxy is now in good hands, being taken care of. They are hoping to bond Foxy with some of the other foxed that came to the center recently to return to the wild once they are strong enough.

A.Living together
B.Drinking too much water.
C.Never walking far away from home
D.Never asking help from human beings.
【3】What can we know about the Caballero family?

B.They are kind and ready to help
C.They are good at catching foxes
D.They work in the Wildlife Conservation Center.
【4】When will Foxy go to the wild?

28、Nearly 19 percent of teachers of color(有色人种教师) left their jobs after the 2014-2015 school year. Some left for personal reasons like taking care of their families. But 50 percent said they left because they were dissatisfied with their employment situation, such as poor working conditions, student discipline problems and large class sizes. Thus, taking immediate measures to improve it is our top priority.
For years, researchers have proved the benefits of increasing the share of minority teachers in schools, especially as our public school system has turned to one that is made up mostly of minority students. Teachers of color, who are more likely than their white counterparts to choose to work in racially diverse(多种多样的) schools, offer particular benefits to their students. Graduation rates increase among minority students when they are taught by racially similar educators, research shows. They can also serve as positive role models, and their presence reduces the chance of racial discrimination at school.
The Shanker Institute report suggests that the rate of minority teacher hiring is not the whole problem. The problem is what happens after these teachers enter the classroom. These teachers often work in high-poverty rural schools. They are more likely to have less-desirable working conditions.
Diversity is a key component to equality and opportunity. Where there’s a diverse teaching workforce, all kids thrive. So solutions must be found at once to turn this trend around. Firstly, schools should develop mentorship programs that support minority teachers once they are in the classroom. Secondly, more money should be spent in improving working conditions in these schools. Of course, school headmasters should also be evaluated on their ability to retain teachers of color.
【1】Among teachers of color leaving their jobs, half of them quit because _______.
A. they had to take care of their children
B. they had to move to other places
C. they eventually found better-paid jobs
D. their employment situation was unsatisfactory
【2】Which of the following is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. The solutions to increasing graduation rates among minority students.
B. The benefits of increasing the share of minority teachers in schools.
C. The reasons for teachers of color leaving their jobs in many schools.
D. The ways to decrease the possibility of racial discrimination at school.
【3】Which of the following components is vital to equality and opportunity?
A. Honesty B. Variety
C. Ability D. Safety
【4】How did the author feel when writing the passage?
A. He felt angry about the government.
B. He was satisfied with the present situation.
C. He felt it urgent to solve the problem.
D. He didn’t care about diverse teaching workforce.

“Test tourism” for grammar schools will be stopped and replaced by a new national selection exam, according to plans being considered by ministers.
A new “selective education team” has been set up, 【1】 up by Nick Timothy, who is joint chief of staff to Prime Minister Theresa May.
Currently, there is a wide 【2】 in the type of Eleven plus exams that children sit, depending on which school or area of the country the student is in. Ministers are hoping to impose severe 【3】 on” test tourism”, where parents travel huge distances and even relocate their family to secure a place for their child at a grammar school.
A summary document of a series of meetings between senior Department for Education ministers and the Grammar School Heads Association (GSHA) also reveals that the Government is developing “coaching 【4】 tests” to prevent heavily tutored children from wealthy families or expensive preparatory schools gaining unfair advantage.
Details of ministers’ plans 【5】 after the GSHA released a list of key points following their discussions with Government officials. Education Secretary Justine Greening reportedly told the grammar school headteachers that ministers “are philosophically opposed to selection but present little 【6】 to support this claim”.
According to the GSHA, ministers still want to see the top 25 percent of pupils attend 【7】 schools, and for grammar schools to cater .for a “narrower ability range” - closer to 10 percent. The notes add that there is a “move away from focusing on social 【8】 to social reform”.
Shadow Education Secretary Angela Rayner said it was “unbelievable” that grammar school headteachers “have been given the inside 【9】 on the government’s plans, while our state schools and academies are left out in the cold”.
A Department for Education spokesperson said, “Thanks to the government’s reforms, there are now almost 1.8 million more pupils being taught in good schools than in 2010. But we know there is more to do, and that’s precisely why we have set out plans to make more good school places 【10】 to more parents and in more parts of the country.”
