26、Flooding can happen for different causes. They can be natural, like heavy rain or a tsunami. They can also be man-made, like the opening of a dam. Great damage usually comes with a flood. However, if we take action, damage will be reduced in some way.【1】
Be aware if your area is at risk of a flood. This is the first thing you should do. It is unwise to rely only on history to decide whether your area is at risk of flooding.【2】
Leave your home and move immediately to higher ground. If there is a possibility of a flash flood, do not wait for instructions to move. Flood may cause a shortage of food supply.【3】 To survive, one must rely on food storage.
【4】 Six inches of moving water can make you fall. If you have to walk in water, walk where the water is not moving. Use a stick to check the firmness of the ground in front of you.
Do not drive into flooded areas. If floodwaters rise around your car, abandon the car and move to higher ground, or you and the vehicle can be swept away quickly.【5】 If the water is rising inside the vehicle, seek protection on the car roof.
Stay on higher ground even if the floodwaters seem to move away. There is no telling when another flash flood may occur.
A.Avoid walking through moving water.
B.Here are some ways to survive a flood.
C.It is easy to feel hungry during a flood.
D.In this case, hunger becomes a very real threat.
E.You should do some research to prevent a flood.
F.A number of factors can affect your area’s risk of flooding.
G.If your vehicle is trapped in rapidly moving water, stay in the vehicle.
27、Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit (精神) and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back.
But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?
Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.
Don’t let other people set goal for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.
Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don’t be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (紧紧地); the best way to keep love is to give it wings(翅膀).
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.
Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that’s why we call it “the present”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.

28、Oxygen levels have dropped in hundreds of lakes in the United States and Europe over the last four decades, according to a new study.
Researchers examined the temperature and the amount of dissolved oxygen (溶解氧) in nearly 400 lakes and discovered widespread drops in oxygen levels. They found dissolved oxygen fell an average of 5.5 percent in the surface water and 18.6 percent in deep water. Their findings suggest that warming temperatures and falling water clearness from human activity are causing oxygen levels to fall.
Testing for oxygen is one of the best ways to judge how healthy water systems are. The study’s findings suggest a conspicuous human footprint. That footprint includes warming caused by climate change. In addition, falling water clearness can be caused by runoff (地表径流) from human waste systems, cars and power plants.
Dissolved oxygen losses in Earth’s water systems have been reported before. A 2017 study of oxygen levels in the world’s oceans showed a two percent drop since 1960. But less was known about lakes, which lost two to nine times as much oxygen as oceans, the new study found. Before this study, other researchers had reported oxygen drops in individual lakes over a long period of time. But no one looked at as many lakes around the world.
The drop of oxygen levels in deep water may affect creatures that are more sensitive (敏感的) to temperature increases, such as cold water fish. During summer months they depend on cooler temperatures found in deeper water. But if deep water is low in oxygen, these creatures can’t survive. “Those are the conditions that sometimes lead to fish kills in the water,” said study co-author Kevin C. Rose. “It means a lot of areas cold water fish depend on may become unlivable.”
Meanwhile, about a quarter of the lakes examined actually showed increasing oxygen in the surface water. It is a bad sign because it points to a sudden growth of algae (藻类). In those lakes, dissolved oxygen was “very low” in deep water, likely creating unlivable conditions for many species, the researchers said.
【1】What does the underlined word “conspicuous” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Noticeable.
B.Hidden.
C.Similar.
D.Rare.
【2】Why is the 2017 study mentioned?
A.To compare different research findings.
B.To show the difficulty in studying lakes.
C.To explore more possibilities of the research.
D.To explain the necessity of carrying out the research.
【3】What is a result of dissolved oxygen losses in deep water?
A.Some fish’s low sensitivity to temperatures.
B.A serious food shortage for deep-water fish.
C.Less chance for deep-water fish to survive.
D.Changes in the living habits of deep-water fish.
【4】What does increased oxygen in a lake’s surface water probably suggest?
A.Water quality is improving there.
B.The local ecosystem is getting worse.
C.Climate change is being controlled properly.
D.The impact of human activity has been weakened.
29、Scientists are studying whether a drug known as talazoparib could offer a new treatment to people with secondary breast cancer(SBC)that has spread to the brain, where it becomes incurable.
The new experiment, supported by the charity Breast Cancer Now, will see researchers study whether talazoparib could help those with secondary breast cancer by preventing cancer cells from restituting, forcing them to die.
“Our previous research has shown that, in many cases, secondary breast cancer tumors(肿瘤)in the brain have changes in the way they repair their DNA. So next we will experiment to see whether the tumors can be easily hurt by drugs like talazoparib,” said Professor Leonie Young. Experts will use tumors and breast cancer cells donated by patients to see whether talazoparib is effective in treating secondary breast cancer in the brain. Further tests will examine the drug in mice, as well as models that imitate the brain’s protective system.
Natalie Woodford who was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer welcomed the launch of the research. “It’s really encouraging to learn about the new secondary breast cancer research happening,” she said. “I hope that this study will be a success and lead to new treatments for women like me in the future.”
Dr Simon Vincent, director of the research, added, “About 35,000 people in the UK are living with incurable secondary breast cancer as well as the fear and uncertainty around, because this deadly disease will cut their lives short. We are eager to prove the effectiveness of the new drug to treat this incurable disease, especially those whose breast cancer has spread to the brain and who have very limited treatment options.”
【1】What does the underlined word “restituting” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Repairing.
B.Reducing.
C.Revising.
D.Replacing.

A.Supportive.
B.Uncertain.
C.Doubtful.
D.Uninterested.
【4】What can be inferred from the text?
A.The drug has already proved effective.
B.Experiments can only be carried out on mice.
C.All cancers can be cured except SBC in the UK.
D.The drug could bring hope to people suffering from SBC.

31、根据下面短文内容,在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词,使短文完整、通顺。
A good joke can be hardest thing to understand when studying a foreign language. As a recent report in The Guardian newspaper (卫报) noted, “There’s more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than 【1】 vocabulary and grammar.”
Being able to understand jokes is hard for a language learner to 【2】 friends with native (说母语的) speakers. “I always felt that humor was a ceiling (天花板) that I could never break through.” Lina Brown, a public relations manager in London, told The Guardian, “I used to study in Japan. I could never speak to Japanese people on the same level as I would speak to a native English speaker. I was almost a boring person 【3】 all I could talk about was facts.”
In fact, most of the time, jokes are only funny for people who share a cultural background (文化背景) or understand humor in the 【4】 way. Chinese-American actor Joe Wong found this out firsthand. He had achieved huge success in the US, but when he returned to China for his first live show in Beijing, he discovered that people 【5】 think his Chinese jokes were as funny as his English ones.
In Australia, many foreigners find understanding jokes about 【6】 to be the biggest headache. Let’s take rugby (橄榄球) as an example. “The hardest jokes are related to rugby because I know nothing about rugby and few people play it in China” said Zhang Xiao, a doctor in a hospital in Beijing. He was 【7】 a student in Australia. He added, “When I heard jokes I didn’t get, I just laughed along.”
In the other two major English-speaking countries, the sense of humor is also different. British jokes seem to be more subtle (微妙的) and dark, while American jokes are more obvious (明显的) with their meanings, a bit like Americans 【8】.
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。
As I stood in line waiting to pay for the things I bought at my favorite supermarket, I studied the customer in front of me who was reading the magazines to our left. She was young, maybe in her early twenties, but she looked tired-as if life had beaten her down too many times.
The things in her cart included the cheapest cuts of meat, rice, and potatoes. Powdered milk, day-old bread,bargain soap, and inexpensive shampoo completed the things she bought-well, almost. There were also lots of instant noodles and a pretty dress that was 50 percent off.
She continued to look at the magazines as we waited, and more people lined up behind us. She finally took one out and turned it over several times,trying to find a price before finally turning to me.
“I’m sorry to trouble you,“she said.“But can you tell me how much this is? I left my glasses at home. ”“Of course,” I said with a laugh.
When I finally found the small print and told her, she sighed quietly and put it back.“They’ve become so expensive, haven’t they?”I said in a low voice.
“Next!”The cashier called before she could answer, and she moved forward to begin her tun. When the store employee finally told her the cost, the woman’s face paled(变苍白).She opened an old purse and began counting small bills and change. It was clear that she didn’t have enough,and she examined her things to see what she could do without.
One by one, she took things out, but she still came up short. She continued taking things out while the cashier waited patiently. The man right behind me complained loudly enough for all to hear, and the young woman’s face reddened with awkwardness. I wanted to pay for her things outright,but I knew that would embarrass(使尴尬) her even more.
“Take your time,”I added gently as she tried to decide what other things she could return.“I’m in no hurry.
