26、Despite the bad reputation of sharks, they are crucial to the health of the marine ecosystem and can even help fight climate change.
In the shallows of Shark Bay, Western Australia, seagrass is food for the sea cows, which can weigh as much as 500 kg and eat roughly 40 kg of seagrass a day. Sea cows are a rich source of food for tiger sharks. By keeping the sea cow population controlled, tiger sharks here help the seagrass grow sustainably. A booming seagrass meadow stores twice as much CO2 per square mile as forests typically do on land.
But tiger shark numbers are declining. Off Australia’s northeast coast of Queensland, tiger sharks are estimated to have fallen by at least 71 percent, largely due to overfishing. A reduction in tiger sharks means more seagrass consumed by herbivores (食草动物) and less carbon stored in sea vegetation. This raised the question: What if they were absent from the Shark Bay — would the seagrass-dominated ecosystem survive?
To find out, researchers led by Rob Nowicki of Florida International University, spent time in Eastern Australia, where shark numbers were lower and sea cows ate seagrass largely undisturbed. “When uncontrolled, sea cows can rapidly destroy wide areas of seagrass,” said Nowicki.
Those findings emphasized that tiger sharks were playing an important role in preventing the reduction of seagrass in Shark Bay. If their populations continue to decline, the resilience of carbon-rich ocean ecosystems will likely decrease.
When it comes to stimulating shark numbers, there have been movements toward more sustainable fishing, but a large percentage of the industry have not changed their methods, which is a reason why the population of many marine top predators (捕食者) continues to decline.
Aside from supporting sustainable fishing, Nowicki said the only way to truly protect marine life is to reduce our global greenhouse gas emissions. “Ultimately, if we are going to protect our ecosystems in the centuries to come, we are going to need to solve climate change while undertaking species protection at the same time.”
【1】Why are tiger sharks vital to the marine ecosystem?
A．They feed on various sea animals.
B．They can store large amounts of CO2.
C．They can prevent the loss of seagrass.
D．They influence marine species distribution.
【2】What did Rob Nowicki’s team want to find out in Eastern Australia?
A．How sea cows destroy the seagrass community.
B．How shark population influences the ocean ecosystem.
C．What was contributing to the declining number of tiger sharks.
D．What to do to recover the seagrass-dominated ecosystem.
【3】What is the main reason for the population reduction of many top predators in marine ecosystems?
A．Climate change.
B．Water pollution.
C．Loss of seagrass.
D．Unsustainable fishing approaches.
【4】What’s the main idea of the text?
A．We should protect our environment.
B．The number of tiger sharks is decreasing.
C．Climate change causes the loss of seagrass.
D．Tiger sharks are vital to the health of the marine ecosystem.
27、University of Maryland: TERP Young Scholars
July 8 - July 27
The University of Maryland’s TERP Young Scholars Program is the perfect summer camp for academically talented teenagers who want to earn college credit, pursue academic interests, explore career opportunities, and discover college life at the University of Maryland.
During three weeks of intellectual exploration, teens preview the university experience, study with students who share similar interests, and engage with some of the University of Maryland’s best faculty (全体教师) in a dynamic, challenging classroom environment.

28、The Firegathering
18-20May
The Fire gathering festival returns to an unidentified place somewhere in the Sussex countryside this May. The ticket price is a very agreeable 40, an amount that the organisers promise covers only the costs of staging the event. As well as the night-club singers and dancers and circus performers, you can expect live performances from local stars. If this looks like it might be right for you, you'd be well advised to book your ticket soon; the event has sold out every year since its beginning four years ago.
Sheep Music
20-22July
Sheep Music started life as a garden party and has developed into a full-scale(全面的)community event. Even though the advertising has always been limited to word of mouth, the huge number of people two years ago left organisers worried that the large crowds could ruin the festival's family feel. Luckily July sees the return of this brilliant party. The climax(高潮) comes in the shape of Saturday night's full- scale parade that you just would not expect to happen in the otherwise sleepy Welsh borders.
The Big Chill
3-5 August
Ten years on and The Big Chill could very well be close to becoming a big pop festival like Glastonbury. That said, the many thousands in attendance are still able to relax in the beautiful Eastnor deer park and listen to plenty of music that would otherwise pass them by. Families have always been given a warm welcome and it's fair to say that The Big Chill is probably the most child-friendly of all the medium-sized festivals. If you've never been, you should certainly go.
Summer Sundae
10-12August
Although only a year old this summer, Summer Sundae has quickly inspired the imaginations of Leicesteks music lovers. Last year's event was a success, noted by more than a few mentions at the UK Festival Awards. It is set in the impressive grounds of De Montfort Hall. Although the performers are still to be confirmed, the cabins(小屋) are sure to be there. These small buildings are made from wood and carpets, storage space, and can fit a family for the night.
【1】If you are free only in July, you can choose ________.
A．The Fire gathering
B．Sheep Music
C．The Big Chill
D．Summer Sundae
【2】What can we learn about The Big Chill .
A．The festival will take place in a park.
B．The audience will be bigger than expected
C．No profits will be made from the festival.
D．A lot of national stars will perform at the festival.
【3】What do the four festivals have in common?
A．They have a long history.
B．visitors need to book ticket in advance.
C．visitors can enjoy music
D．They can be compared with Glastonbury.
29、 You have to write a movie review for school and now what? Where to start? How to make it look more “academic” ? 【1】
Watch the movie twice and take notes of both major and minor events and characters.【2】There is always something we overlook or forget.
Carry out a complete research. 【3】 Research is equally important. Look for details, such as the name of filmmaker and his/her motivation to make that film, locations, plot, historic events that served as an inspiration for the movie. Basically, your research should serve to collect information that provides more depth to the review.
【4】 Don't start working on the review if you aren't sure that you understand the film. Evaluate the movie from beginning to an end. Re-watch it if you find some parts confusing. Only when you understand events that happened on the screen will you find it easier to create the review.
Draft an outline that you will follow to write the review in a brief fashion. Include examples for claims you make about the movie. 【5】If a character is poorly developed, name examples too. Also, provide examples when commenting dialogues, locations, plot and everything.

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。
Unfortunately, 81-year-old Barney had lost two most beloved people of his life, his wife, and his only daughter, who left her 6-year-old son Tommy in his hands.
Tommy was a bright, talented young boy with a promising future ahead of him. But with insufficient resources, he knew it would be hard to provide Tommy with the way he deserved and dreamed. Barney applied for a job as a pizza deliveryman. It was exhausting, because Barney had to go up and down to different addresses on hot, cold, and rainy days, door-delivering pizzas to customers. Hard though the job was, the pay was not that great.
However, Barney was fueled by the thought that every box of pizza he delivered was money and one step closer to giving his grandson a better life. With the thought of his grandson’s future in his mind, Barney drove to the address that winter morning.
The cold winter air froze everything on its path. With a deep sense of relief, Barney finally arrived at the address. His heart raced at seeing the angry client, a teenage boy named Fabian, on the doorstep.
“What took you so long?” Fabian screamed. Barney observed the teen’s anger and realized he wouldn’t get any tips. However, he was fortunate enough that he was at least able to deliver the pizzas to the client.
Just as Barney made his way up the stairs with the pizza boxes, he fell down on the concrete, hurting his leg. And the 15 boxes of pizza he was holding went everywhere on the ground.
“How did they hire an old man like you? Clean up the mess and get out!” Fabian made fun of Barney as he struggled to rise on his feet. To make things worse, Fabian’s friends ganged up cruelly laughing at poor Barney. Barney realized he had broken his leg due to the severe fall. Fabian’s angry words kept ringing in Barney’s head as he lay helpless and painful on the icy ground, crying.
Suddenly, the boy saw his friends running away in different directions. Fabian froze still when he recognized it was his dad, Albert. The gentleman was beyond shocked as his son would throw a party at home when he was supposed to be preparing for his exams.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
