26、 Imagine driving down a country road past a huge, open field where goats are eating grass. Suddenly a truck breaks down and makes a loud noise. Just as suddenly, the goats fall to the ground.
A few moments pass. The goats are back on their feet. What just happened? Well, the goats were very frightened and dropped to the ground, but not all goats act like this. There is only one kind of goat that behaves this way when it is surprised. It is called a Tennessee Fainting Goat.
In the 1800s, a farmer arrived in Marshall County, Tennessee, with a few goats and a cow. People say he came from Nova Scotia, Canada. Since the man did not talk much, no one knew where he got these goats. When he left, he took the cow, but he sold the goats.
The behavior of one of the goats was different from most others. Being frightened caused the goat’s body to go stiff and sometimes fall over. No one had seen goats do this before. They began to call this new goat a Tennessee Fainting Goat.
This special kind of goat does not actually faint. They just look like they do. The fainting goats stay awake. The baby goats, however, usually do fall over, but the good thing is that they do not have far to fall. Some older ones learn to stand near something like a fence or a tree, just in case they are frightened.
Now there are about three thousand fainting goats in the United States. People enjoy raising them, because goats of this kind are gentle, smart, and playful. They just get scared stiff now and then. The moment of stiffness only lasts about ten or fifteen seconds. Then the goats walk and act like any other goat.
【1】What happens to the goats that fall to the ground a few moments later?
A.They fall asleep.
B.They eat much more.
C.They stand up again.
D.They are taken away by the truck.
【2】Which of the following would most likely cause a fainting goat to fall?
A.Green fields.
B.A light wind.
C.Loud thunder.
D.Pleasant smells.
【3】What do we know about the fainting goats?
A.No one likes to raise them.
B.Not all of them really fall over.
C.Their stiffness lasts a long time.
D.Not all of them stay awake when they faint.
【4】This text is about an animal that________.
A.likes eating outside
B.sleeps during the day
C.comes from Canada
D.acts in a strange way

28、Kiribati is a South Pacific nation of 33 islands along the equator(赤道). It gained its independence from the UK on July 12, 1979. The International Date Line runs through this country. People here are always the first to see a new day. However, this Pacific Island nation may be the first country to disappear under the rising sea levels of climate change.
As our boat nears the shore, the dark shadows beneath the sea sharpen into focus. Coral stones, organized neatly into rows, glisten from the reef of this shallow bay. We are drifting over the foundations of the neighborhoods of Tebunginako. The village was once home to more than 200 households, but today, it lies beneath several meters of water.
“We used to swim out there to see the ships when we were boys. They’d tie them up to the coconut trees just over here,” explains the Mayor, pointing enthusiastically as we coast over the remains of his town. Locals say Tebunginako was once the island’s main harbor—before the rising sea swallowed its coast.
Many of Kiribati’s citizens have escaped to the capital island, South Tarawa, due to climate related disasters. Objectively, developed countries should be responsible for global warming. Like any other developing island state, the fresh water supply here is being strained. The Mayor adds.“ “Climate change and the rising sea worsen a problem we already have concerning our water resources.” A teacher approaches and complains. “We are very simple people with very simple needs, but we do not want to be faced with something that is not entirely of our own doing.”
As the sun sets in Tebunginako, the Mayor guides us to the shore of the town’s two remaining structures, a Church and a traditional community center. The Mayor states, “These places are important to our people because of their religion and because it was the last place they were all together.”
【1】What do you know about Kiribati according to paragraph 1?
A.It belongs to one island of South Pacific.
B.It has been independent for about 40 years.
C.Climate change has led to its disappearance.
D.People there are among the first to see the sunset
【2】Which statement applies to Tebunginako?
A.It is home to 200 households.
B.It is still above the sea level.
C.It is a victim of global warming.
D.It was once the island’s only harbor.
【3】What can be inferred according to the teacher in the fourth paragraph?
A.Locals expect more from others.
B.The fresh water supply is cut off.
C.More people should be responsible.
D.Locals are ready to leave their community.
【4】How do people in Kiribati feel about the present situation?
A.Favorable.

C.Careless.
D.Worried.
29、Bill Gates doesn’t pretend he lives in an egalitarian household. When it comes to parenting his three children, the billionaire says his wife Melinda has done more than her share of the work raising the kids. “My wife does 80%,” Gates told a crowd of Harvard students. He said he and his wife have been quite careful about the model they’ve used to raise their three children, who are now 15, 18, and 22 years old.
They followed a 1970s “Love and Logic” parenting model. It’s a formula that was created by a group of three men. The core idea of their philosophy is centered on the idea of emotional control, mainly reducing emotional reactions like shouting or reprimanding (训斥) kids. Aside from controlling parent tempers, the model also stresses the importance of not providing rewards for kids, but instead showing unconditional love and admiring kids for who they are, not what they do (or don’t) achieve. “Many highly successful people struggled with grades as children,” co-founder of this model, Charles Fay wrote on his site. “What’s most important is that our children develop good character, curiosity, and problem-solving skills.”
Gates says the “Love and Logic” method is a far cry from the way he grew up, but he knew he wanted to do things differently with his own kids. It wasn’t the only way he set boundaries (界线) for his children. None of his kids owned a cell phone until they were 14 years old. The children also attended Catholic church regularly with their parents. And they will each get about $10 million of their parents fortune as inheritance (遗产), a mere small part of roughly $90 billion net worth. “We want to strike a balance where they have the freedom to do anything, but not a lot of money showered on them so they could go out and do nothing,” Gates once told TED.
【1】What does the underlined word “egalitarian” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Believing in wealth.
B.Having a lot of knowledge.
C.Believing in equality.
D.Having an interest in kids.
【2】What do we know about “Love and Logic” parenting model?
A.It is not a good choice for Bill Gates.
B.It focuses on emotional control.
C.It stresses the importance of rewarding kids.
D.It was created by a group of three women.
【3】Which of the following does Charles Fay agree with?
A.Shaping good character is more important than problem-solving skills.
B.Showing unconditional love is always the most effective way.
C.Many highly successful people had good grades as children.
D.Shouting at kids is not a wise choice for parents.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Bill Gates is strict with his kids.
B.Bill Gates’ kids will get about 10 million.
C.Bill Gates doesn’t love his children.
D.Bill Gates’ kids hate “Love and Logic” method.

32、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a normal day at the Brooklyn Center Liquor store, one of the things any customer would be greeted with is a warm smile from Ta Leia Thomas. She is also known as “Ace” by her co-workers.
Her kindness is something that people know about her, and this side of her was fortunately caught on film after she did an act of real concern that made people online feel inspired to share her story.
After going out for lunch, store manager Tom Agnes found Ta Leia serving customers wearing only her socks. It was an unusual sight for him, and knowing the cold weather outside, the manager was a bit concerned about what happened to her.
He decided to carefully examine the security camera footage(监控录像) to find out why Ta Leia was in her socks and had no shoes to protect her feet. That was when he found out the kind act his staff(员工) did for a homeless person.
In the security camera footage, a homeless man can be seen dragging boxes as he passed by the store. The only thing is that he wasn’t actually bringing the said boxes, but he wore them on his feet to serve as his shoes.
Ta Leia saw the man walk by and within seconds, the woman took off her own shoes and approached the homeless man. She gave her shoes to him and returned to work with only her socks on.
“I see his feet and I just took my shoes off,” Ta Leia said.
Ta Leia did not hesitate to give away her prized possession(私人物品) to help others in need. Her kindness is clearly inspiring and something that people online have found to be very uplifting(令人振奋的). Knowing that someone as kind as her is out there helping those in need is quite comforting.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150词左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Tom bought Ta Leia a new pair of shoes.
