26、 Plant a native help save Los Angeles. That’s Cassy and Kirk Aoyagi’s mission. For years, the FormLA Landscaping designers have worked to improve the landscape of Los Angeles by replacing over 20,000 square feet of lawns with indigenous plants, which can help fight climate change.
In 2010, the couple purchased a 1953 house. The home featured a bare backyard of dirt, rocks and trees. Soon after buying the home, the couple covered the yard with 12 inches of rich soil and took care of the original plants. When a large Italian stone pine tree fell over four years later, they decided it was time to address the exposed part.
When it came time to choose plants, the couple were understandably overwhelmed. They made a list of 70 different native plants. Then they narrowed the list by dividing the plants into three categories: plants to save water, plants to fight erosion, and plants for food. The first chosen plants included California lilacs, Nevins barberry and Catalina cherries.
As soon as they decided on the plants, the couple arranged them in the garden accordingly. One of the garden’s most distinctive touches is the use of existing rocks. “We make sure that we move them to areas where we like to hang out so that we can be part of that experience,” said Cassy.
After the natives were planted, the ecosystem took off. Birds, lizards and crows are now regular visitors to the yard, along with bees, ladybugs and butterflies. This landscape is more than just a garden; it’s a natural habitat.
“Everyone deserves to find the right fit,” said Cassy. Landscaping affects our health, our mood and our planet. Our authentic beauty can save us in so many ways.”
【1】What do Cassy and Kirk mainly use to improve the landscape of Los Angeles?
A.Existing rocks.

C.Special garden designs.
D.Specially designed lawns.
【2】When did the couple begin to add new plants to the backyard?
A.In 1953.
B.In 1957.
C.In 2010.
D.In 2014.
【3】Which factor had the couple considered when they chose plants for the backyard?
A.The size of the plants.
B.The cost of the plants.
C.Being environmentally friendly.
D.Being able to fight insects
【4】Why is Cassy and Kirk’s backyard considered more than just a garden?
A.It has become a tourist attraction.
B.It follows the rules of natural ecology.
C.It mainly consists of original plants.
D.It makes foreign creatures feel at home.
27、Madison stared through the window and watched a puffy white cloud pass over the woods across from the school. It must be wonderful to be a bird, she thought. Total freedom. No math class to sit in, and her days would be spent on horseback. She thought of her horse, Star.
“Madison. Could you please join us again?” Mrs. Smith said. “I was just asking the class if anyone had any problems with the homework assignment.”
“Well, I didn’t have any problems doing it, but I had problems remembering to put it in my school bag after I did it.” Some giggling spread through the room.
“Madison. I don’t know what I am going to do with you. You’re such a smart girl but you just don’t apply yourself. Class, clear your desks. Our guest is here and welcome Doctor Landon. He is a veterinarian (兽医). He came here today as part of our continued Career Explorations Program.”
Madison tried to focus as Doctor Landon talked about how important grades were and how he struggled with math when he was a kid. Doctor Landon was still talking but she lost track of what he was saying. Then a word caught her attention. Horse. Was he talking about horses?
Gradually, Madison knew Doctor Landon had come to her town and house when her horse, Star, needed care. She liked it that he even knew her horse’s name. “So, you just travel around and take care of horses all day long?”
Doctor Landon nodded. “I travel with my truck to take care of horses and ponies across the county. It is a lot of work, but I love it.”
Madison’s mouth fell open. What a life that must be, she thought. At that moment, sitting in class, Madison could see her future and her life suddenly seemed bigger. By the time she got off the bus that afternoon, her plans for the afternoon had changed. She was still going to ride Star, but first she was going to spend an hour studying math. Then tomorrow she’d spend an hour studying science.
【1】Why was Madison called by Mrs. Smith in class?
A.Because she had problems with math.
B.Because she was absent-minded in class.

28、 While some extreme diets may suggest otherwise, we all need a balance of protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals in our diets to keep a healthy body. You don’t need to remove certain kinds of foods from your diet, but rather select the healthiest ones.
Protein: protein gives us the energy to get up and go — and keep going — while also supporting mood and cognitive (认知) function. Over protein can be bad to people with kidney disease, but the latest research suggests that many of us need more high-quality protein, especially as we age. That doesn’t mean you have to eat more animal products — many plant-based sources of protein each day can ensure your body gets all the necessary protein it needs.
Fat: not all fat is the same. While bad fat can destroy your diet and increase the possibility of certain diseases, good fat protects your brain and heart. In fact, healthy fat — such as omega-3s —is necessary to your physical and emotional health. Understanding how to include more healthy fat in your diet can help improve your mood and your well-beings.
Fiber: eating foods high in dietary fiber (grain, fruit, vegetables, nuts, and beans) can help you stay regular and lower the possibility of heart disease, strokes, and diabetes. It can also improve your skin and even help you to lose weight. Depending on your age and gender, experts suggest you eat at least 21 to 38 grams of fiber each day.
Calcium(钙): your body uses calcium to build healthy bones and teeth, keep them strong, send messages through the nervous system, and control the heart’s rhythm. Not getting enough calcium in your diet can also lead to anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties. Whatever your age or gender, it’s necessary to include calcium-rich foods in your diet.
【1】What can we know about protein from the second paragraph?
A.We should have less protein when we get older.
B.We should have as much protein as possible.
C.Animal products provide more protein.
D.Protein can improve a person’s mood.
【2】Which is one benefit of foods high in fiber?
A.They provide more energy.
B.They are good for eyesight.
C.They help improve the skin.
D.They help build healthy teeth.
【3】What’s the effect of shortage of calcium?
A.People may become older easily.
B.People may have trouble with sleep.
C.People may have the risk of kidney disease.
D.People may gain weight quickly in a short time.
29、April 23 marks the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death. Organizations in Britain have planned numerous events to honor him.
In Stratford-upon-Avon, his birthplace, the tourism organization has a great number of free events, including performances of Shakespeare’s plays, and a dazzling fireworks display. And the BBC is broadcasting a live show from Stratfore-upon-Avon, celebrating Shakespeare’s widespread influence on the world. In England’s capital, the London Shakespeare Centre is holding a series of public performances, exhibitions and activities. It isn’t just England that honors the anniversary of the death of this extraordinary writer. In Washington, D.C., the Folger Shakespeare Library, which houses the world’s largest collection of documents relating to William Shakespeare, is displaying a series of exhibitions.
Shakespeare is probably one of the most famous authors and is considered a genius. He wrote around 37 plays and 154 sonnets(十四行诗), and his work has been translated into over one hundred languages! He penned beautiful metaphors(暗喻), serious dramas and amusing tales.
Shakespeare also invented many new terms and phrases. If someone’s behavior suggested they were not being honest and should not be trusted, Shakespeare called their actions suspicious. If someone was being silly and perhaps looking like a fool, Shakespeare found their actions laughable. And Shakespeare called people who offered their opinions on the quality of something critics. Today, for instance, food critics and film critics give audiences their opinions of foods and films. The familiar phrase “break the ice” comes from Shakespeare’s play The Taming of the Shrew. “The ice is broken” when a difficult conversation or meeting is calmed by some basic introduction, such as a simple game. More common words coined by Shakespeare include road, gossip, lonely, bump and hurry.
Four hundred years after his death, Shakespeare surely lives on,in everyday speech, as the most famous writer of all time!
