26、For a few months twice a year, the waters off California are home to gray whales moving north or south between the coast of Mexico and the Bering Sea. This year, however, it seems that fewer whales are surviving the journey north. So far this year, a total of 30 dead gray whales have washed up on the West Coast: Eight in Washington, one in Oregon and 21 in California. Those numbers are unusually high.
In Northern California, three out of four of the dead whales that have been examined so far appear to have died of starvation and the fourth was killed by a ship strike, said Barbie Halaska, a research assistant at The Marine (海洋的) Mammal Center (TMMC), a nonprofit organization that rescues and rehabilitates (使康复) marine mammals in California. Halaska and her colleagues examined the four whales—three young whales and one adult male — and planned to examine the remaining dead whales in the region in the next couple of days.
Gray whales were once severely threatened by whalers. Only around 2,000 of them lived in the ocean in 1946, so an international agreement to stop gray whale hunting was signed in order to help the population recover. Gray whales were removed from the endangered species list in 1994 when the population reached 23,000 individuals and TMMC predicts there are now around 26,000 gray whales in the Pacific Ocean, which is about the number before the whaling boom got up steam almost 200 years ago.
Although the gray whale population has recovered to a certain degree, the number of dead whales washing up this year is alarming, Halaska said. Climate change and declining fish stocks are likely key factors in the whales’ poor health, she said .
Halaska stressed that boaters and beachgoers on the West Coast should watch out for gray whales this time of year.
【1】What are the statistics in paragraph 3 about?
A．Severe conditions facing gray whales.
B．An agreement to stop killing whales.
C．The evolving development of gray whales.
D．The number of gray whales in different times.
【2】What’s Halaska’s attitude towards the population of gray whale?

D．Uncaring.
【3】What may be talked about following the last paragraph?
A．The importance of gray whales.
B．Gray whales’ living environment.
C．Things to do to help gray whales .
D．Ways to increase gray whales’ population.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

B．Why Many Gray Whales Died on California’s Coast?

D．Where Gray Whales Move to Avoid Being Hunt?
27、My favourite book is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St. Petersburg, Missouri. He’s a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures. He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave. And finally, they find a box of gold.
My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his own funeral. He hides and watches for a time and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is astonished to see him but they’re also pleased to see him alive.
Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him. Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom’s best friend. And Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.
The theme of the story is about children growing up. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviour.
Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it’s only a story, Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real. Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on—read it! I know you’ll enjoy it, too.
【1】Where does Tom run away with his two friends?
A．To a quiet street.
B．To a small town.
C．To an island.
D．To a forest.
【2】Who is the bad man in the story?
A．Huck Finn.
B．Injun Joe.
C．Becky.
D．Polly.
【3】How did people feel when Tom appeared at his own funeral?
A．They were surprised and happy.
B．They were surprised and sad.
C．They were worried and excited.
D．They were frightened and happy.
【4】The writer writes the article to ________.
A．ask us to read the book
B．tell us how popular the book is today
C．tell us when Mark Twain wrote the story
D．tell us why the story sounds very real
28、As soon as you meet, or even see, a person, you form an impression of him based on his postures, gestures and facial expressions. This is why it is important to make a good first impression on the person who will be interviewing you. Within the first 60 seconds of meeting you, the interviewer will have formed an impression about what type of person you are and what kind of employee you would become, and 55% of this will be based only on your body language. Here are some tips to make that impression a good one.
First of all, relax. Think positive thoughts and you are more likely to come across as a positive, confident person during the interview. Dress smartly, as your appearance is one of the first things an interviewer will notice you. Stand up straight, and walk in with your shoulders back and your head up. Try to avoid slowing down as you walk into the room because this suggests fear and uncertainty. Shake hands with the interviewer firmly. You should have a positive handshake and a warm smile. Opening your coat or jacket as you sit down shows that you, too, are open.
Posture is important. You should be sitting well back in your seat. Sit up straight and lean forward slightly, but not too much. Sitting at too much of an angle expresses discomfort and distrust. Two of the most common defensive（防卫的）signals are crossing your arms and legs, so try to avoid them.
Another important issue is eye contact. Looking someone in the eye shows confidence in yourself and trust in the other person. However, don’t overdo it, as too much eve contact or staring will make the other person uncomfortable. Use more eye contact when listening than when talking, and when you look away, look down. Looking up at the ceiling will make you seem bored or rude.
【1】The purpose of the first paragraph is to tell readers .
A．what a good first impression is
B．how to make a good first impression
C．how long it takes to make a first impression
D．the importance of making a good first impression
【2】Which of the following does the author advise you to do when you are being interviewed?
A．Cross your arms or legs.
B．Open your coat or jacket when sitting down.
C．Go into the room more slowly than usual.
D．Avoid looking at the eyes of the interviewer directly.
【3】If you lean forward too much, it means .
A．you are very thrilled
B．you are really comfortable
C．you don’t trust others
D．you don’t have confidence
【4】Where can we read this passage?
A．In a newspaper.
B．In a biography.
C．In a chemical paper.
D．In a fiction novel.
29、Reasons Why Reading Old Books Is Good
There are many people who prefer new books to old ones, because they think that new books are better. 【1】
They have stood the test of time. 【2】 According to C.S. Lewis, as a writer, he would rather want a reader to read an old book than a new one as the new one is still under test and the reader is amateur to judge it.
【3】 Old books usually cost less in comparison, and at times are available even for free at book stores, thrift shops (旧货店), or book fairs.
They help you know your past. Classic novels teach a lot about a particular previous time in history while we are enjoying present times.
Their quality is better. The title is self-explanatory. 【4】 If a book is being read even 50 years after it was published, then it’s a classic, and surely good.
They don’t discriminate (歧视) against age. Old books are for everyone and not for a particular age group. 【5】 Cinderella (《灰姑娘》) can still be your favorite nighttime read as an adult.
They smell so good. The smell of old books is just too good. Don’t you just love the smell as you bury your nose into the pages of an old classic?
A.They are cheaper.
B.They are easy to get.
C.What makes a book a classic?
D.What is a book affecting you most?
E.You need not be a child to enjoy the classics written for kids.
F.But the fact is that the opposite is true, more often than not.
G.Ideas come and go, but only the best ideas are the ones that stand out.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
The view that the spirit of adventure no longer has any scope for its enterprise seems, at first glance, depressingly true. The highest mountains have been scaled; the deepest seas plumbed. Maps today no longer contain huge blanks marked "Unknown Territory", nor do they make random guesses at the shapes of 【1】 land-masses. All major journeys of exploration to 【2】 the true shape and nature of the globe have been made in the past. It was left to us to fill in the details with 【3】 which once would have been considered impossible. The gaps have been 【4】. What next?
The obvious answer, of course, is that man is now looking upwards into space. Discoveries are being made at such a tremendous rate that even authors of science-fiction are finding it difficult to keep up with them and have to tax their imagination to invent bigger and better space-craft. Satellites sending signals as they swing round our globe have become 【5】.
Astronauts have successfully landed on the moon and its entire surface has been photographed. The information that satellites may provide fueling stations for manned rockets no longer strikes us as preposterous. If thirty years ago, a scientist has urged that we send messages into outer space in the hope of receiving an answer, he would have been regarded as either irresponsible or mad. Now, anything seems 【6】.
From dreams like these, we return to earth with a bump. Trips into space are all very well, but they are not for us; we must 【7】 ourselves with our own, much-traveled world. The earth itself is the training-ground for adventurous spirits, for "adventure" need not mean the seeking out of something new. A person can be called adventurous when he finds out something for himself, and it does not matter how many times the discovery has been made before. No one would say that men who set out now to cross the forbidding Antarctic are less enterprising than their predecessors who tried to do the same thing. The little boy who climbs the small hill that 【8】 his town, or even he who tries to climbs and fails, has precisely the same spirit that led Hillary to climb Everest. For the bold spirit and inquiring mind, there are inexhaustible possibilities. So long as there are people willing to 【9】 places that are well-known, there will be those who will, one day, set foot on remote and 【10】 shores.
