26、 Unless you are fortunate enough to know an NBA player, Ryan Martin is probably the best basketball player you'll ever meet. Unlike those who fly up and down the court (球场),however, Martin is forced to take a different approach; he doesn't have legs.
Martin, a 33-year old man, is a professional wheelchair basketball player. His achievements have taken him halfway around the world to play in Spain for the last seven years. There he made a comfortable living playing basketball and working with some of the greatest athletes in the world.
“A good wheelchair player can make $ 50,000 a year, while a star can make six figures,” said Martin. What's more, he couldn't see his family for months and European cities were unfriendly to the disabled. He also had to learn Spanish. Martin, however, overcame those drawbacks(困难).
He started by playing basketball when he was 12. It didn't take long for him to fall in love with the sport and, after graduating from Somers High, he attended Southwest Minnesota State University on a basketball scholarship. In college, he scored over 1 ,000 points in his career and set several school records.
And he works as hard—if not harder—than any other professional athlete. “He destroys me,” said Gina Navarra, who works out with Martin on occasion. “What he does amazes me.”
Martin also recognizes that, at age 33, he's in the back end of his career. With that in mind, he has been focusing more and more on his foundation.
“I have 12 brothers and sisters. College gave me a true sense of achievement. The foundation is designed to give those with disabilities the opportunity to realize the dreams that I once had,” Martin said.
“I'm not saying that out of a sense of pity,” he said. “I realize how fortunate I am to have achieved what I have. But I want to open doors for people.”
【1】What was Ryan Martin's life like in Spain?
A.Free. B.Boring. C.Difficult. D.Bittersweet.
【2】How was Ryan Martin's performance in college?
A.He stood out in basketball. B.He failed to make a record.
C.He was weak in his studies. D.He never won a scholarship.
【3】Why has Ryan Martin been working for the foundation?
A.To help those in need. B.To finish his basketball career.
C.To earn more money for his family. D.To learn basketball skills from other players.
【4】Which of the following words best describe Ryan Martin?
A.Honest and responsible. B.Ambitious and sensitive.
C.Reliable and knowledgeable. D.Determined and warm-hearted.
27、 Wolf Warrior 2 (《战狼II》), a movie that made box office history in China in 2017, tells the story of how the Chinese government successfully rescues overseas Chinese citizens in Africa.
At the end of the film, there is one line that stands out: “When you meet with danger in a foreign land, do not give up! Please remember, at your back stands a strong motherland.”
The movie sends the message that overseas Chinese will always receive timely help from China. But in the future, some headstrong(任性的) citizens will not get this help for free, People’s Daily reported.
On March 26, the Ministry of Foreign Affaires (MFA) worked out a draft for regulations on consular (领事的) protection and assistance, the Xinhua News Agency reported. The draft says that those who insist on travelling to dangerous places without considering warnings given by the MFA will not be able to take advantage of free rescue services.
For example, the MFA recently release a travel advisory (安全提醒) saying that Chinese citizens should avoid travelling to Maldives. Chinese who travel there and run into trouble may still ask for aid from the Chinese Embassy. But they will have to cover the cost of their rescue later.
In fact, this is a common international practice, People’s Daily said. Countries like the US, the UK and Canada have similar regulations.
According to the MFA, over 130 million Chinese mainlanders travelled overseas in 2017. The MFA issued over1000 travel advisories to advise Chinese citizens of the risks they may face when travelling.
【1】Why does the author quote a line from Wolf Warrior 2 ?
A. To explain what the movie is about.
B. To describe the feelings after watching the movie.
C. To stress that China will help every Chinese person.
D. To prove how strong China is.
【2】Who usually gives warnings about travelling abroad?
A. People’s Daily B. The MFA
C. Xinhua News Agency D. Travel agencies.
【3】The draft suggests that ______.
A. Chinese people can’t travel to foreign places
B. Free rescue services have come to an end
C. Chinese who travel to Maldives will run into trouble
D. People will not get free help if they ignore the MFA’s warnings
【4】If the regulation is put into practice, we can infer that _____.
A. China will be the first country in the world to do so
B. People may have second thoughts about travelling to dangerous places
C. The number of people who can travel overseas will be less than 130 million
D. Only rich people will be able to afford to travel overseas
28、 It was not easy to buy a delicious pineapple more than 10 years ago. The fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and, more often than not, hard with an unpleasant taste within. Then in 1966, the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves.
The new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green. It was slightly softer on the outside and had a lot of juice inside. But the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss pineapples we had known. In no time, the Del Monte Gold took the market by storm, rapidly becoming the world’s best-selling pineapple variety.
In nutrition (营养) it was all good news too. This nice tasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin C than the old green variety. Nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins, but also good against some diseases. People were eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit. The new type of pineapple was selling fast, and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eater.
Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, Del Monte tried to keep market to itself. But other fruit companies developed similar pineapples. Del Monte turned to law for help, but failed. Those companies argued successfully that Del Monte’s attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out of the market.
【1】We learn from the text that the new type of pineapple is __________.
A.good-looking outside and soft inside B.green outside and sweet inside

【3】The underlined word “fixture” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to something _________.
A.that is always present B.that people don’t like eating
C.that is difficult to get D.that people use as a gift
【4】We learn from the last paragraph that Del Monte _________.
A.succeeded in keeping the pineapple for itself

D.tried hard to control the pineapple market
29、 Kids in primary schools in Bellaire, Ohio, have something to sing about. For the past eight years, public primary schools in that town didn’t offer music classes. They didn’t have the money to pay for them. But the school district got some support to bring back music this school year.
Many school officials across the country say music classes get students excited about going to school. And studies have shown that music classes may boost brainpower. For example, researchers from the University of Southern California recently released the results of a fiveyear study. They found that the brains of 10and 11yearolds who learned to play a musical instrument developed faster than the brains of kids who didn’t.
Though most people aren’t against teaching music in schools, not everyone says it’s necessary. Many school officials argue (争论) that learning music means less time spent on maths, writing, and science, all of which may be more useful to students later in life.
Here’s what two of our readers think.
Music should be taught in school for the simple reason that it makes learning more fun. We have music classes at my school, and I love them!
Taking music lessons can also build character. In 2015, a research company called Grunwald Associates did a survey on music education. More than 60 percent of parents whose kids took music classes in school said their child became more focused (集中注意力的).
—Noah Falcon, New Jersey
At my school, we don’t have music classes. I think that’s OK because it gives us more time to focus on main subjects, like reading and maths. It’s more important to learn these subjects than it is to learn how to play an instrument or sing.
If someone wants to take music lessons, he or she can do it outside of school. Once I took a mariachi (墨西哥流浪乐队音乐) class after school, so it didn’t take time away from my other classes.
—Sophia Salazar, California

D.Kids can get prizes if they learn music.
【2】What does the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Create.
B.Prevent.
C.Increase.
D.Discover.
【3】What does Noah Falcon think of music education?
A.It is unnecessary.
B.It is very important.
C.It is a waste of money.
D.It is easy to continue.
【4】What can we learn about Sophia Salazar?

B.Music brings her more fun.
C.Music helps her keep focused.
D.She took a music class after school.
