26、Has it been a while since your last visit to a public library? If so, you may be surprised to learn that libraries have changed for the better.【1】They have transformed themselves into places where you can develop your love of knowledge, meet interesting people, or find out how to start a business.
【2】While libraries still loan out books, you’ll find it easier to get a copy of whatever you’re looking for, thanks to a cooperative network of area libraries. Through such networks, libraries share their books with each other. Once the book you’ve requested is delivered to the nearest branch, they will inform you by e-mail.【3】
Join targeted reading groups. Libraries will often hold reading-group sessions targeted at various age groups.【4】 The library may sponsor(赞助) a language group you could join. If you have difficulty reading, ask about special reading opportunities. Your library might be able to help you. And you might find it relaxing to bring your small kid to a half-hour Story Time while you sit quietly in a corner with a good book.
Start a business with the help of your local library. If you want to have a business of your own, your local library can become a launch space for it. In library books and computers, you can find information on starting a business. Many libraries will help you with locally supplied information about business management shared through chambers of commerce(商会) and government agencies.【5】
A．Check out a book.
B．So you can pick it up.
C．Check out what you want.
D．They will also offer printing and database services you need.
E．It is been years since they were dusty little rooms with books.

27、 The world is witnessing the worst refugee crisis(难民危机) since World War II. Tens of thousands of people are fleeing civil war and unrest(动荡) to find new homes in Europe — sometimes with sad consequences(后果).
On Aug 27, Austrian officials found the dead bodies of 71 Syrian migrants(移民) in a deserted truck near Austrian-Hungarian border, just as European leaders were holding a meeting in Vienna to figure out how to deal with the refugee crisis. On the same day, 200 migrants were feared dead and 200 rescued as two boats packed with refugees sank off the coast of Libya, according to media reports.
The terms “migrant” and “refugee” are often used interchangeably. But there’s a big difference between them, says an article in the Atlantic magazine. Here is how the United Nations defines refugees:
“Refugees are persons fleeing armed conflict(武装冲突) or ill-treatment. Their situation is often so dangerous and intolerable that they cross national borders to search for safety in nearby countries. …These are people for whom denial(拒绝) of protection has possibly deadly consequences.”
Migrants, on the other hand, move mainly to improve their lives by finding work, or for education, family reunion or other reasons, said the agency.
Countries should offer refugees certain protections under their international treaty obligations(条约义务). This is why some states hesitate to admit those people who are fleeing unrest in their home countries.
When talking about refugee and immigration problems, many media outlets use “illegal immigrant”(非法移民). Critics say that it gives the impression that it’s the person that is illegal rather than their actions. The UN and the EU parliament have called for an end to the phrase, the BBC reported.
【1】The numbers mentioned in Para. 2 prove _____.
A.how serious the refugee crisis in Austria is
B.that it is the worst refugee crisis in the world
C.what sad consequences some refugees face
D.that the number of refugees is so large
【2】The differences between “refugee” and “migrant” are written with the purpose of _____.
A.defining the two words clearly
B.indicating why some states are not willing to admit refugees
C.showing that refugees are more than migrants
D.urging European countries to accept more refugees
【3】According to the text, “refugee” differs from “migrant” in that _____.
① they both cross national borders but with different purposes
② refugees are illegal while migrants are legal
③ refugees may face deadly consequences while migrants are relatively safe
④ refugees are treated badly while migrants are highly respected
A.①④ B.①③ C.②③④ D.①③④
【4】According to the text, what may be discussed in the next several paragraphs?
A.Explanations for “illegal immigrant”
B.Examples about the refugee crisis in Europe
C.Measures to offer refugee protections
D.Causes of the refugee crisis in Europe
28、 Imagine this: you are twenty-one years old and a promising graduate student at one of the top universities in the world. One day, your doctor tells you that you have an incurable disease and may not have more than twelve months to live. How would you feel? What would you do? Here is what Stephen Hawking thought:
（There did not seem) much point in working on my PhD-I did not expect to survive that long. Yet two years had gone by and I was not that much worse. In fact, things were going rather well for me and I had got engaged to a very nice girl, Jane Wilde. But in order to get married, I needed a job,and in order to get a job, I needed a PhD.
Instead of giving up, Hawking went on with his research, got his PhD and married Jane. Nor did he let the disease stop him from living the kind of life he had always dreamt of. He continued his exploration of the universe and travelled around the world to give lectures. As his disease has disabled him, Hawking has to sit in his now-famous wheelchair and speak through a computer. He talked about his theories and thoughts on some of the greatest questions: What is time, how did the universe begin,and what exactly are black holes?
Hawking became famous in the early 1970s, when he and American Roger Penrose made new discoveries about the Big Bang and black holes. Since then, Hawking has continued to seek answers to questions about the nature of the universe. In 1988, he wrote A Brief History of Time, which quickly became a best-seller. Readers were pleased and surprised to find that a scientist could write about his work in a way that ordinary people could understand. The book sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages.
【1】According to the quote in paragraph 2, when was Stephen Hawking told about his disease?
A.Twelve months earlier. B.When he was getting married.
C.Two years earlier. D.When he met Jane Wilde.
【2】Why did Stephen Hawking think: “There did not seem much point in working on my PhD?”
A.Because there was no point in being a PhD. B.Because he thought he would die soon.
C.Because there was no hope of being PhD. D.Because he had no place to work.
【3】What made Hawking known to the world in 1970s?
A.His book A Brief History of Time. B.His discovery about the Big Bang and black hole.
C.His fighting against the disease. D.His lectures to university students.
【4】What can we learn from Steven Hawking?
A.Where there is a will,there is a way. B.Every road leads to Rome.
C.Practice makes perfect. D.Better late than never.
29、When we think of 10-year-old girls, the first things that come to mind may be ballet, kitchen science experiments and crazy photo faces. There’s a special bond between young girls and their moms before life fills up with more demanding schoolwork, career choices and the stress of being a grown-up.
For Joyce Phillips, taking on adult emotions came sooner than expected. Her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when Joyce was 10 years old. The thought of losing her mother at such a young age must have been troubling Joyce. But instead of waiting out the process on the sidelines, Joyce decided to join the fight against cancer so that other kids wouldn’t have to experience the pain she was going through.
Joyce loves to sew. She wanted to make something to sell and also advertise her need for help. While trying to piece together a solution, she hit upon the ubiquitous coffee cup. People everywhere seem to be on the go in the morning with their cup of take-out coffee. So Joyce designed a coffee cup sleeve and created her nonprofit Cozys for the Cure. It was a hit. Today, Joyce has raised over $120,000 to help fund breast cancer research. It all started with a desire to help. She lets us know each of us has the ability to make a difference, no matter how old or how young.
Joyce’s mother won her fight with cancer, but unfortunately, many more women and mothers will be affected. With kids like Joyce in their corner, perhaps the next best treatment will come a little sooner, save a few more lives, and means mothers and daughters will have a little more time to have fun together.
【1】How does the author find the childhood of normal girls?
A．Carefree.

【2】What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 3 mean?

D．Meaningful.
【3】What is the money raised by Joyce used for?

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。
Mike took the last bite of the chocolate ice cream and jumped into the car with his parents. They headed off to the Olympic sized pool for the big swim meet.
When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift and won first place, making him the fastest boy in his age group.
“Congratulations," said his father. His mother gave him a hug, even though he was wet.
A week later, it was time for another swim meet and Mike decided to eat the same ice cream. He thought that it was his luck ice cream and that it might help him win again.
He took first place again in his race. Mike was feeling pretty good. Since then, Mike has decided to have the same ice cream before every swim meet and has always won. Several months passed and Mike was feeling unbeatable. Although he wouldn't admit it, all the ice cream was adding pounds to his athletic swimmer's build.
It didn't take long before the luck ice cream had lost its magic. Mike started to slip to second place and then third place in his races. His scores kept worsening and Mike felt really bad. He knew what was wrong. But he couldn't admit it to himself and especially to his parents. He did not want to disappoint them.
One day, his mother sat down at the table with him and said, “Mike, we know you love ice cream，but maybe it's not healthy for your body to eat so much of it. Your father and 1 think it is making you gain weight. Is it OK for us to quit the sweet treats for a while, especially before you go for the final competition? In order to strengthen your muscles, your father will go running with you three days a week. We think it will help you feel better.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
