26、In the past 30 years, the non-profit organization Friends of Trees planted trees along the streets of Portland, Oregon. Now, a new study shows that each tree planted was connected with great reductions in non-accidental and cardiovascular (心管的) death.
Evidence pointing to a connection between exposure to nature and less death is obvious. Between 1990 and 2020, Friends of Trees planted 49,246 street trees. The research team looked at the number of trees planted in a given area in the past 5, 10 or 15 years. They connected this information with death due to cardiovascular, respiratory (呼吸的) or non-accidental causes in that same area, using data from the Oregon Health Authority. The results show that in neighborhoods in which more trees had been planted, death rates were lower. This negative connection was significant for cardiovascular and non-accidental death rate, particularly for males and people over the age of 65.
Furthermore, the connection got stronger as trees aged and grew: the reduction in death rate connected with trees planted 11-15 years before was double that observed with trees planted in the past 1-5 years. This means that older trees are connected with larger decreases in death and that protecting existing grown trees may be particularly important for public health.
This study doesn’t provide a direct opinion into how trees improve health. However, the finding that large trees have a greater health effect than smaller ones is obvious, because larger trees are better at absorbing air pollution, adjusting temperatures, and reducing noise.
“We observed the effect both in green and less green neighborhoods, which suggests street tree planting benefits both,” says Geoffrey H. Donovan, first author of the study. “Besides, the benefits of tree planting is greatly more valuable than the cost. Our results provide an important evidence for clear interventions (e.g., planting trees) to increase the lifetime of urban people,” adds Donovan.
【1】How long did Friends of Trees spend planting 49,246 street trees?
A．About 5 years.
B．About 10 years.
C．About 15 years.
D．About 30 years.
【2】What can we learn from the research?
A．Women gain no benefit from trees.
B．Trees can improve health in various ways.
C．Older trees contribute more to public health.
D．Trees grow well in green and less green communities.
【3】What does Donovan mean in the last paragraph?
A．We should get close to nature.
B．We should protect older trees.
C．We should plant more street trees.
D．We should join the Friends of Trees.
【4】How does the author mainly develop the topic of the text?
A．By listing numbers.
B．By showing results.
C．By describing processes.
D．By making comparisons.
27、We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class.
“You could win prizes,” our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing, “The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster. ”
We studied the board carefully. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us. I’m going to spend mine on candies, one hopeful would announce, while another practiced looking serious, wise and rich.
Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewer’s attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students’ desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then always—always—rewarding the same old winners.
I believe I drew a sailboat, but I can’t say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen, and then I turned it in.
Minutes passed. No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted(扰乱注意力) me, and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.
I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, What poster? When the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.
【1】What was the teacher’s requirement for the poster?
A. It must appear in time.
B. It must be done in class.

【3】After seeing the good students’ designs, some students _________.
A. loved their own designs more
B. thought they had a fair chance
C. put their own designs in a corner
D. thought they would not win the prize
【4】We can infer from the passage that the author _________.
A. enjoyed grown-up tricks very much
B. loved poster competitions very much
C. felt surprised to win the competition
D. became wise and rich after the competition
28、When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents. The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.
I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. After choosing his presents, he came to the checkout counter (交款处) and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.
Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. “You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you,” said the woman. “It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, I know you will feel as good about it as I do now.”
Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us.
I would like to say "thank you" to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets and clothes for the homeless people in the fire. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.

29、It was one of those days when there was way too much to do. I had fallen behind in most of my household chores.
After breakfast, I sat down at the computer to write an article. My youngest daughter, Julia, walked toward me. "But, Mommy, I thought we were going to do something fun today," she said. "Since it's our day off from school." "I know it's your day off, but it's not Mommy's day off," I explained.
"Can you play a game with me?" she begged. "Like Candy Land? Or beauty shop?" I sighed. I really didn't have time to play. I desperately needed to get some work done. But then I had an idea. "Can we play beauty shop while I work?" So I got my article done, and my toenails(脚趾甲) painted at the same time. My oldest, Austin, volunteered to fix lunch so I could keep working. Shortly after lunch, we went to the grocery store and I got what I needed. Back at home, the kids decided to play "grocery store". For the remainder of the afternoon, I cleaned house, folded laundry, and started dinner. The kids continued with their game until my husband, Eric, walked through the door.
He saw me and smiled. "So how was the kids' big day off today?" I began to explain that we hadn't done anything special. But my two middle kids, Jordan and Lea interrupted me. They told their dad, "We had such a special day today, Dad! It was a blast!" I looked at my children's faces. They were lit up with excitement.
I nodded, realizing how right he was. Happiness is far more about our attitude than our circumstances. I hugged my kids and thanked them for reminding me to look for happiness in the little things. Julia smiled and said, "And the little things that make you the happiest are us, right, Mommy?" Wow, my kids sure are smart.

D．It was amazing.

B．Life is made up of small pleasures.
C．Happiness can be gained in little things.
D．Little things can make a great difference.
30、War started in our house in late July with a month to go before my first day of college. It was a battle of wills over what college I was to attend.
