26、 Traveling alone can be daunting (令人畏缩的), I have traveled by myself many times but, on every occasion, there was someone to meet me at the other end of the bus, train or plane journey. 【1】 Last week I had a holiday from work, but none of my friends had the same week off. I decided that I still wanted to do something, so I booked a train ride to Toronto and reserved a bed in a hostel for one week.
One week by myself. 【2】 Would I be bored? Quite the opposite. In fact, there are many benefits that come from traveling alone. Firstly, I was able to do whatever I wanted. I spent hours in museums learning the related history, which would have seemed boring and dull to some of my friends, I walked all around the city, which some people may have found too exhausting. 【3】 I discovered my independence and developed map-reading skills that I didn't know I had. I could get up and go to sleep when I wanted and I didn’t have to wait for anyone else to shower and get ready every morning. Being in the safe environment of a hostel with like-minded travelers also gives a great opportunity to meet new people from all over the world, which can help combat loneliness.
【4】 I missed having someone to talk to. Experiences are often more enjoyable if they are shared, and part of the fun of traveling is the memories you have afterwards. Without a travel partner, I won’t be able to laugh about and remember my Toronto adventure with a friend or family member in years to come.
In addition, those days, I found eating in restaurant or cooking in the hostel was less fun on my own. I am very proud of myself for traveling alone, and I had a fantastic time in Toronto. 【5】 Though, maybe it depends on who you travel with — I would rather be by myself than with someone who is lazy, difficult and argumentative.
A．However, in the future, I think I will always prefer to travel with another person or in a small group.
B．In spite of the benefits, I found that there were also some disadvantages of traveling alone.
C．Instead of relying on someone else to remember directions or to suggest activities to do,
D．Would I be alarmed?
E．This time was different.
F．Would I be lonely?
G．Apart from turning to some strangers for help occasionally when in trouble,

29、 “If you take care of the birds, you take care of most of the big environmental problems in the world.”
That’s what Thomas Lovejoy, a well-known biologist, says. He helped introduce the term “biological diversity” to the world. And he long ago predicted that by the early 21st century, the Earth would start losing a surprising number of species-a prediction, unfortunately, that is turning out to be true.
We were taken with what Lovejoy said about birds and decided to use it as a launch pad(跳板) for marking 2018 as the Year of the Bird by National Geographic. Hopefully, this will help raise people’s awareness of this problem. In this 12-month multiplatform exploration, we’ll examine how our changing environment is leading to great losses among bird species around the globe. And just as important, we’ll record what we can do about it.
At National Geographic we’ve been looking at the planet’s health from a bird’s-eye view for a long time. This magazine has featured birds on its cover more often than it has featured other popular creatures-at least 30 times, 13 times compared with apes. And the National Geographic Society has awarded hundreds of funds(资金) for the scientific study of birds.
In 2018, we’ll take our coverage of topics affecting birds to a new level. In this issue we launch a year of storytelling with “Why Birds Matter”, an essay by best-selling author Jonathan Franzen. It’s paired with remarkable photographs of birds created by National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore.
Why is National Geographic focusing so much attention on birds? That’s just another way of asking, as Franzen does. Why do birds matter? Among his fluent answers: “They are our last, best connection to a natural world that is otherwise moving gradually away from us.”
【1】Why is the year 2018 called the Year of Bird?
A.To introduce different kinds of birds.
B.To record what we can do to help birds.
C.To draw public attention to the loss of bird species.
D.To examine the environmental influences on birds.
【2】What is “Why Birds Matter”?
A.It is a magazine with many essays. B.It is an article with many photos.
C.It is a report with many topics. D.It is an organization to raise money.
【3】What can we know about National Geographic from the passage?
A.It focuses more on birds than other creatures.
B.It receives sums of money to research on birds.
C.It’s the last connection between man and nature.
D.It’s popular with famous biologists and authors.

Finally I ______ and came up with an excuse to ask him a question. When he ______ his head, I could see that he had some tears rolling down the side of his face ______ his feeble(微弱的) attempt to wipe them away. We talked for about 20 minutes and in the end he seemed to be doing ______.
Several weeks had passed when I noticed an unaddressed ______ on my desk after returning from lunch. It only had the word ______ written on it. When I read the note inside the envelope I was so filled with emotions that I couldn’t ______ myself. It was a letter from the man I met on the train thanking me again for talking to him and ______ his life that day. Apparently he had some very hurtful personal problems that were so ______ he was planning to take his life that day.

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。 续写的词数应为150左右。
After graduation, Jason went to work in a big business. The schedule was very tight and he was so busy working, travelling from one place to another, that he was always on business for weeks without going to his mother’s home. And this year, he hadn’t seen his mother for months. Mother’s Day was coming up, and he would have managed to go back home, but this year he was just too busy and too tired. One day, when he was driving in a small town, he saw a flower shop. He said to himself, “I know what I will do. I’ll send my mother some flowers,“
He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a boy talking to a girl in it. “How many roses can I get for five dollars?”, the boy asked. The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive. Maybe the boy would be happy with something else.
“No, I have to have roses,” he said. “It has to be red roses, because my mum likes them best. It’s Mother’s Day. I want to get something special.” He was stubborn.
The girl in the shop looked at the boy and was just shaking her head. Something inside Jason was touched by the boy’s voice. It seemed that he wanted to get those roses very much. Jason looked at the boy and said to the girl that he would pay for the boy’s roses.
The girl looked at the boy and said, “Okay, I will give you ‘a dozen red roses for your dollars." The boy almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran out. It was worth more than fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement.
Jason ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have them taken to his mother. After that, with relief, he drove down the road.
Paragraph 1:
Not long after his driving, he saw the boy...
