26、 Human beings can use language to communicate, but what about animals? How do they communicate with each other without using language? Well, different animals use different types of communication.
Sounds are one of the most common types of communication in animals. Bats usually follow sound waves to communicate. Birds communicate through their chirping(唧唧叫).Mammals generally use sounds to give calls to other members of their community and whales are good at using sound waves.
Besides sounds, facial expressions are also used by animals. For example, when dogs are angry, they show their teeth barking and raise their ears. When they’re frightened, they pull their ears behind with the mouth open. For another example, when the parent bird brings food for the baby bird, the “begging expression” can be observed on its face.
Next, gestures and body movements are also common in animals. For example, honey bees dance to communicate. A deer waves its tail to warn others of some danger coming closer. A gorilla sticks its tongue out to express anger.
Many animals communicate through smells. They give off pheromones (信息素)to express messages to other animals. Wolves, deer and insects generally use this type of communication. Even amoebas (变形虫)need to communicate and do it by giving out chemicals. The animals use this type of communication to attract others for giving birth to baby animals.
Besides the above means of communication, some animals communicate by touching each other. For example, monkeys express feelings by touching each other’s hands, and they even give hugs and kisses to express love.
【1】When a dog shows its teeth barking and raises its-ears, it must be _________.
A.expressing its fear B.expressing its anger
C.begging its owner for something D.warning its owner of some danger
【2】Smells are used by animals mainly to _________.
A.produce their young B.drive their enemies away

A.a deer will waves its tail once it senses danger
B.most animals use their smells to attract others
C.bats are better at using sound waves than whales
D.a gorilla sticks its tongue out when it’s frightened
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Sounds are the most common type of communication in animals.
B.Human beings can use language to communicate, but animals can’t.
C.Animals can communicate with each other without using language.
D.Animals communicate with each other in different ways, such as sound, smell etc.
27、My wife and I went to this vegan(严格的素食主义的) restaurant to give it a try. As we were eating our pepper and salt tofu, a young lady named Debra walked in.

After a few minutes, she and her mother both walked back in. We were having the rest of our meal at that time, so we told her what we had ordered. Debra then asked the waitress to just repeat our order for them. Next , Debra said. "And we want to pay for their meal", pointing to my wife and me. We tried to say no, but Debra wouldn't listen.

28、 My 1l-year-old daughter has been awarded an academic scholarship to a private school. It’s only a small discount, but the scholarship means she’ll skip the waiting list—provided my husband and I can cover $20,000 a year. Should we pay the private school fees,or choose free education instead?
I always assumed my children would go to a private school, like I did. Not because my family is wealthy, but because I believe that the best education is private. It took years for me to make peace with the fact that my two children attended our local public primary school. They’ll go to a private high school, I told myself. Yet here we are. My eldest is now in her last year of primary school,and my husband and I will struggle to afford private school. If so, I could increase my work hours. My law degree was supposed to be my ticket to a good job and a secure income, but that’s not quite how it turned out.
During many sleepless nights, I felt troubled by the decision. Although I want the best for my daughter, I have my own dreams too. I can’t sacrifice(牺牲) everything for my precious girl. I explain that I want to be a positive role model for my daughter, and an unhappy parent is a terrible strain on a family. I point out that not even the privilege(特殊待遇) of private school will protect my children from disappointment or struggle. And finally, it’s decided. My daughter is going to the public school behind our home. She couldn’t be more pleased.
It’s taken me a little longer, but now I’m satisfied. More than my fancy private school education, it’s my family that shaped me. With high school now 25 years in the past, I can no longer remember the mathematical problems and Shakespearean quotes I once knew so perfectly. The lessons from my childhood home, however, have proved impossible to forget.
【1】From the passage we know that ________.
A.the scholarship her daughter won could cover most of her school fees
B.her two children attended their local private primary school
C.the writer had a good job and a secure income
D.it took a long time for her to make the final decision
【2】Why did the writer want her daughter to go to a private school at first?
A.Because her daughter earned an academic scholarship.
B.Because she wanted her daughter to receive the best education.
C.Because she wanted her daughter to skip the waiting list.
D.Because her daughter’s potential was wasted at the public primary school.
【3】The underlined word “strain” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A.anger B.comfort
C.burden D.relief
【4】What does the passage indicate?
A.Parents should make every sacrifice for their children.
B.Finance should be taken into account when it comes to education.
C.Private school education is not as good as public school education.
D.Rather than school education, family influences a person most.
29、 When I was five years old, I played the role of the turtle in a play organized by my older sister. I had one line at the end, when I beat the sleeping rabbit to the finish line: slow and steady wins the race.
I’ve always felt that those words guided my career. I was never the fastest; I was rarely an A student. But as the careers of others paused, I kept going. My goal was always the same: to learn more this year than I had last year.
When I see slow students, that’s what I think of. Are those the students who will keep learning over their entire lifetime, and leave the “quick” students far behind? The goal of education is not to gain as much knowledge as quickly as possible, but to gain useful knowledge and keep it. As such, I would prefer a slow, thoughtful student to a fast, superficial one. As a teacher, I don’t care how “fast” someone learns something. We process information differently. To use myself as an example, I tended to be comparatively slow in my advanced undergraduate mathematics classes. In retrospect, I’ve come to realize that one of the ways I learn is “error-based.” That is, I effectively learn by making mistakes.
I seldom worried about “slow learners” when teaching medical students. I knew these young men and women could learn. Like in so many other professions, knowledge is only a part of being a doctor. I spent decades learning enough to be a doctor and decades more keeping up and improving. It never stops, and never should.
【1】For what purpose did the author write the first paragraph?
A.To share with readers one of his unforgettable childhood experiences.
B.To prove that slow learners tend to have a better long-term memory.
C.To introduce the topic that continuous efforts are the final marker of success.
D.To show the author’s preference for the role of turtle.
【2】Which quality in a student is most appreciated by the author?
A.The ability to pick up a particular subject or topic more quickly.
B.The determination to carry on a lifelong learning.
C.The natural flexibility at solving problems.
D.The willingness to try different new things.
【3】Which of the following best describes the author’s belief?
A.Constant dripping wears away a stone.
B.Content is better than riches.
C.More haste, less speed.
D.Learning makes a good man better and an evil man worse.

32、阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
In our modern world, when something wears out, we throw it away and buy a new one. The problem is that countries around the world have growing mountains of rubbish because people are throwing out more rubbish than ever before, which, of course, raises the public’s concern of our living environment.
How do the society become a throwaway one? First of all, it is now easier to replace an object than to spend time and money repairing it. Thanks to modern technology, companies are able to produce products quickly and inexpensively. Products are plentiful and cheap, and it’s more convenient to get them delivered nowadays.
Another course is our love of disposable (一次性的) products. As busy people, we are always looking for ways to save time and make our lives easier. Companies produce thousands of different kinds of disposable products: paper plates, plastic cups and cameras, to name a few. It seems that disposable products have become a common part of our life.
Longing for new products also leads to the problem. We are used to buying new things and are always talked into buying something we don’t need. Advertisements persuade us that newer is better and that we will be happier with the latest products. The result is that we throw away useful belongings to make room for new ones. To decrease the amount of rubbish and to protect the environment, more governments are requiring people to recycle materials. However, this is not enough to solve our problem. Maybe there is another way out. We need to repair our belongings instead of throwing them away, we also need to rethink our attitudes towards spending. Repairing our belongings and changing our spending habits may be the best way to reduce the amount of rubbish and take care of our environment.
