26、Staying with family members or receiving professional care? Old people in Harbin have a new choice to enrich their life in retirement(退休), as harbin.dbw.cn reported.
The old people can take a bus to a day-care nursing home every day between 8 am and 5 pm, just like others go to work, and go back home to be with their families in the evening.
In the nursing home, they will receive professional care, have lunch, take part in activities such as calligraphy and singing, and take university lessons for them.
According to a research, there were 1.75 million old people by the end of 2015. Less than 10% choose to stay in the nursing home while most live at home. Loneliness and shortage of care are the main problems facing the stay-at-home old people.
"After my mother died, I tried to take good care of my father," said Zhou, an office worker.
Those who have retired parents agree that their parents spend a boring and lonely day at home, watching TV all day and filling their stomach with food. The situation becomes worse in winter when elders are unable to go out because of the cold.
However, the cost of such nursing homes is different from person to person but stands at around 2,000 yuan ($290). Another problem is the shortage of facilities. Even if two old people share a room in the nursing home, the city still lacks at least 100,000 such rooms.
【1】In the day-care nursing home, the old people can ________.
A.go to work
B.stay with their families
C.go to university
D.get professional care
【2】What is the main problem for old people staying at home?
A.A lot of old people choose to live at home.
B.They are lonely and short of care at home.
C.Their children won’t take care of them.
D.They are unable to go out especially in winter.
【3】What information can be inferred from the passage?
A.People have no trouble looking after their retired parents.
B.The day-care nursing home is getting popular among old people.
C.The price of staying in the nursing home remains the same.
D.Two old people must share one room in the day-care nursing home.
27、January is the month recognized as the time to diet. This year a health expert told me to get serious. I have to take away half of every meal and put a carrot in its place. Every meal? She was serious. “We’re dealing with sick fat. There’s no hip and all I see is a piece of big bread on your dog’s legs.”
However, it wasn’t my mistake. When we go out, people just keep feeding Eric snacks because he looks so cute. He looks at me when I’m eating my fish so I give him some.
He wasn’t always this way. When he came to us after a short but successful time on the show dog circuit, he was, as you would expect a dog like him to be, well within his healthy weight. But then he came to us and got comfortable knowing this was his “forever home”. His appearance no longer mattered.
He ate everything he could get. Whole blocks of cheese and fresh banana cakes before we pushed everything out of his tongue’s reach. We placed schoolbags high up on the wall. Sometimes, Eric managed to open the schoolbags and carry the lunchboxes in his mouth out through the dog door and into the garden where he happily ate my lovingly prepared offerings.
It’s time for Eric to clean up his act. He’s not to be given pigs’ ears or fish from my dish anymore. I’ve asked my husband to bring a “Nil Orally” sign home from the hospital where he works. I’m going to hang it around Eric’s neck to show everybody that he’s on a diet.
【1】What did the health expert say about Eric?
A.He was out of shape.
B.He had too much bread.
C.He had short and strong legs.
D.He needed a couple of pieces of bread.
【2】What was Eric like before coming to the author’s home?
A.Inactive.
B.Heavy.
C.Fit.
D.Carefree.
【3】What did Eric do with the schoolbags?
A.He took them off the kitchen table.
B.He played with them in the garden.
C.He hid some food inside them.
D.He opened them on his own.
【4】What does “Nil Orally” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Clean up.
B.Help me.
C.Everything is fine.
D.Nothing by mouth.
28、Marie Lantelme! The name struck me from somewhere in the back of my mind. Miss Lantelme, as I called her in my youth, worked as a librarian at the East Meadow Public Library when I was a pre-teen girl.
On one occasion, in search of a book to read, I walked slowly over to the desk taken up by a librarian—Miss Lantelme. Serious, polite, and speaking with the voice of a professional(专业的) librarian, she asked what kind of book I liked to read. I thought about it for a few seconds and replied, “Mysteries(悬疑小说).” When I first learned to read, my grandfather gave me a book called The Smugglers of Sandy Bay. It was written by Ruth Holberg and still takes a place in my book collection. I sometimes hold it in my hand to reconnect with its mystical power.
Miss Lantelme told me to follow her, and she led me into the mystery part and pointed me in the direction of books written by Agatha Christie. Miss Lantelme handed me a book called The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. I will not tell the ending to anyone who has never read that book, but I loved the surprise that I never saw coming. Every week I dug deep into the works of that uncommon writer whose stories still attract me now.
On one occasion, Miss Lantelme handed me a book written by John le Carré. The title of the book is The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. For years, I waited for each new book by the recognized master of spy thrillers. Of course, I wished Miss Lantelme to hand the new mystery of John le Carré to me.
All these memories flashed through my mind while I sweated my way through my work-out out of breath, giving thanks to the librarians of the world, like Miss Lantelme, who gave me a lifetime of joy, not only the stories.
【1】What made the author interested in mysteries?
A.The book her grandfather gave her.
B.The unknown feeling of a pre-teen girl.
C.The professional service of Lantelme.

A.She was interested in Agatha’s works.
B.She took exercise around the library.
C.She bought a book from Lantelme.
D.She went to Lantelme’s home.
【3】Who wrote The Spy Who Came in from the Cold?

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。
The New Kid in Class
At the beginning of the new term, every student came to school happily. One day, Jack-son, a friendly student, sat at his school desk and looked over at the new kid in class. His name was Billy, who just moved here from Florida. His first day in class was yesterday and, so far, Jackson had not talked to him. Today, at rest, Jackson was going to try to make a new friend.
When the bell rang for a rest, Jackson hurried out of his seat and followed Billy outside.
”Hi Billy,“ Jackson said with a smile as they walked outside. ”Do you want to play basketball?“
”No. I’m not very good at basketball. “
”Do you want to play kickball? “ Jackson asked again.
”No. I’m not good at that either, “ Billy said. Billy walked away from Jackson and sat on a big flat rock in the grassy part of the school yard.
Jackson stood there and wondered what to do next. He asked Billy to do two things and both times Billy said no. He felt a little depressed. Maybe Billy didn’t like to get along with Jackson. Maybe he didn’t want to be friends. Jackson thought about playing basketball with the other kids. He looked over at Billy sitting on the rock all by himself. It must be hard to move to a new school, Jackson thought. He decided to give it one more try and let him be his friend. What would be a better one? He paced backwards and forwards nervously.
It was at that time that Jackson reached into his pocket and pulled out two toy cars that his brother gave him before. His brother has tons of cars and always gives him his old ones. It was the two cars that made him give it one more try.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Do you like cars?” Jackson asked Billy as he walked up to him.
