26、In so many ways, cyberspace (网络空间) mirrors the real world. People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love.
Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. 【1】 So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.
Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis on the idea themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to chat about their interests?
【2】 They are looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others fail miserably.
Supporters of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first. Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way.
But critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully craft their words to fit whatever image they want to give. And they don’t have to worry about what their “faceless” communication is doing for their image. 【3】
All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship. 【4】 This inevitably leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different from the real person.
So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll: “Life in the real world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen.”
A．Rather, a person’s thoughts-or at least the thoughts they type-are what really count.
B．In a sense, they’re not really themselves.
C．With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fill in the blanks”.
D．But Some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with.
E．The internet encourages people to express their ideas in a freer way.
F．However,online relationship will be damaged by this kind of image.
27、When a fire broke out in my home in the middle of the night, I knew I'd do anything I could to save my family. The medicine that I take for my rheumatoid arthritis causes me to wake up in the middle of the night with a dry mouth. January 15, 2016, was no different. I, Indiana, US, awoke at 2:30am needing water.
I was walking back upstairs from the kitchen when I heard my bulldog , Rock. Whatever Rock was doing down there, it made enough noise for me to go to him. By the time I made it to the bottom of the stairs, he was running up, and he never came up the stairs, no matter what. I think that was his way of telling me, "We've got to go back up. "When I got to the top of the stairs, I turned around and saw a light on, but I didn't remember leaving one on. I walked downstairs again, and that's when I saw fire. I immediately shouted to my wife to wake up and get our three kids. I grabbed a knife and cut out the plastic that covered the window to the porch roof. I then pried open the window and kicked out the screen. I started screaming for help. But help never came. I got everybody out on the roof and threw a blanket out there so we wouldn't slip off. It was cold, January cold. Then I started screaming for help. But help never came.
Now, I'm scared of heights and have physical issues, what with my rheumatoid arthritis, but I couldn't let my family burn up. So I jumped off the roof. I didn't scoot to the edge; I just jumped and got the wind knocked out of me when I landed. I found our ladder, placed it against the house, and climbed back up to the roof. I wrapped my arms around my daughter and carried my nine - month - old with my teeth, by his little sleeper. Then I climbed down the ladder. Once on the ground, I had my little girl hold her brother, and I went back up to the roof to get my other daughter. Then I went back up again and got my wife. I tried to get my dog, but he just disappeared in the black smoke. I never saw him alive again,
I'm no hero. I'm just an ordinary person who'd help anybody. This happened to be the time when I helped my own family. I live to protect my family. Just likeRock—he lived to protect us.

28、Alina Morse is just 14 years old and is the founder of Zollipops, a business founded in 2014. It has produced S2 million worth of lollipops (棒棒糖) which are actually good for your teeth.
The idea for the lollipops, her company’s first product, came to Alina back in 2012, when she was just 7 years old. It all started when she went to a bank with her dad Tom and a teller offered her lollipops. Though she really wanted to accept, she remembered how her parents bad told her that sugar was terrible for her teeth. So she asked her dad, “Why don’t we make a healthy lollipop that’s good for my teeth so I can have candy, and it won’t be bad for me?”
Two years of online research, at least a hundred attempts at making lollipops in their home oven and many plant tests later where they tested their creations on commercial (商业的) production equipment Alina and her father got their first meeting, and finally their first retail (零售) placement, with Whole Foods Market. “They loved our product, and they loved the idea,” Alina says. The sugar-free candies reduce the risk of tooth decay (蛀牙).
Soon after landing in Whole Foods Market, Zollipops began shipping on Amazon, which makes up around a quarter of the company’s yearly sales.
By 2015, at age 10, Alina was on “The Steve Harvey Show”, telling the host, “I hope every kid in America has a clean mouth, a healthy smile and a Zollipop in their hands.” The next year, she landed Kroger. “We were on the bottom shelf, but it was still really exciting because Kroger is the biggest food shop. And recently, we were brought up to the second-to-last shelf,” she says with a laugh.
“Alina hasn’t had 5 or 10 jobs where you have to follow this rule or that rule or do things in a certain way,” says her mother Sue. Tom agrees. Having worked for major brands, he sees the way his daughter benefits from inexperience. “Kids ask really good questions,” he says. “They don’t have the same kind of baggage adults do, so they don’t need limitations.”
【1】Why did Alina find Zollipops?
A．To lower lollipops price.
B．To make tooth-friendly candies.
C．To help the elders live on healthy food.
D．To do online research on sugar-free products.
【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 3 about Alina?
A．She lost her father’s support.
B．She found it easy to sell her products.
C．She made great efforts to do business.
D．She risked her health to test the equipment
【3】What do we know about Alina’s lollipops?
A．They win huge popularity.
B．They sold poorly in Kroger.
C．They are expected to be sold online.
D．They failed to help her earn big money.
【4】How do Alina’s parents look at her?
A．She is experienced and strict.
B．She is free and open-minded.
C．She is easy-going and independent.
D．She is imaginative and self-controlled.
29、Amazing national parks in the USA
Grand Canyon National Park
Large enough to fit 19 Statues of Liberty piled up on top of each other, Grand Canyon National Park is sprawling gorge (峡谷) of layers in different colors of pink, red, and orange, revealing millions of years of geological history. Due to the absence of broad roads, there are only three ways to explore below the edges: hiking, mule trips, and river rafting trips. Visitors are reminded to mind their steps along the way.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Steve invited me to accompany him on a camping trip to the mountains, I imagined a cabin with a fireplace, hot cocoa, and bunk beds. Imagine how my simple, yet comfortable image of camping became a nightmare(噩梦) when Steve and his older brother, Paul, showed up with a truck filled with camping supplies-tents, rolled-up sleeping bags, and some instant food! I did pack a backpack, as instructed, but I had no idea we were going on survival training!
Paul, ever so efficient, had a schedule to keep, and he hurried me to get in so we could leave the city hustle and bustle(喧闹) behind us. Ahead, the mountains appeared bigger than I had remembered them; the trees were larger, and the environment was much more dangerous. At least the weather was amazing-cotton-candy clouds dotted the deep blue sky.
At the trailhead(登山口), Paul tied a sleeping bag onto my pack and lectured Steve and me about hiking manners.
The first part of the trail looked more like a wooded road that led up the mountains than a hiking path. Soon, the path became narrower and steeper, forcing me to focus on the task at hand and to talk less. As we gained height, we moved above the tree line, and I could see the trail zigzagging(蜿蜒) up the mountain.
“It looks closer than it is,” Paul said, reading my facial expressions. “This is the most difficult part... watch the trail, not the view. Loose rocks and tree roots make the trail dangerous, and we have no shade.”
Finally, we reached the top of the mountain. My legs aching, I dropped my pack and groaned(呻吟). “No time to rest,” Paul said, looking up at the sky.
