26、 School children across the United States have been taking part in local and state spelling competitions. These competitions are called spelling bees. The young competitors spell words that even some adults may never have heard of.
More than 280 local winners will earn the right to compete in this year’s Scripps National Spelling Bee. The event will take place from May 28 to June 3 near Washington, D.C., at the National Harbor in Maryland.
Most competitors in the National Spelling Bee are between the ages of 12 and 14. But this year, one competitor will be less than half that age — five-year-old Edith Fuller.
Last weekend, she won an area spelling bee in her home state of Oklahoma. The five-hour competition lasted 37 rounds. Edith correctly spelled words like sevruga(闪光鲟鱼子酱), jacamar (a kind of bird), and Nisei (a child of Japanese immigrants).
Her winning word? Jnana, a Sanskrit(梵语的) word that is related to having a higher level of knowledge. Remember, Edith is five. She is the youngest person ever to qualify for the National Spelling Bee.
Not so long ago, when she was just four, Edith surprised her parents when she was able to spell the word “restaurant”. At that moment, her mom and dad realized their child might have a mental gift.
Edith is home-schooled. So, her parents are able to spend a little more time teaching her to spell.
About two percent of US children are home-schooled. Yet, home-schooled kids usually make up 8 to 10 percent of those who make it to the National Spelling Bee.
Now, the Fullers must prepare young Edith for the national bee. But no matter how she does there, Edith is already being called a “spellebrity”.
【1】According to the passage, what can be learned about spelling bees?
A.There is an age limit to competitors of spelling bees.
B.The competitors can spell words unheard of by some adults.
C.The local Spelling Bee lasts five hours with 37 rounds every year.
D.About 8 to 10 percent home-schoolers will attend the National Spelling Bee.
【2】Which word helps Edith win the local Spelling Bee?
A.Jnana. B.Jacamar. C.Nisei. D.Sevruga.
【3】What does the underlined word “spellebrity” mean?
A.A person who is spelling.
B.A person who is famous.
C.A person who is talented.
D.A person who is good at spelling.
【4】What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Edith and home-schooling.
B.The National Spelling Bee.
C.The amazing achievements of home-schooling.
D.The youngest National Spelling Bee competitor.

28、Scientists once considered sleep to be like a shadow getting drawn over a window between the brain and the outside world: when the shadow is closed, the brain stops reacting to outside stimuli (刺激).
A study published on 12 October in Nature Neuroscience suggests that there might be periods during sleep when that shade is partially open.
A few years ago, Oudiette, a cognitive scientist in France, began questioning the definition of sleep after she and her team conducted an experiment in which they were able to communicate with people who are aware that they are dreaming while they sleep — otherwise known as clear dreamers. During these people’s dreams, experimenters were able to ask questions and get responses through eye and facial-muscle movements.
Karen Konkoly, who was a co-author on that study, says “it was a big open question in our minds whether communication would be possible with non-clear dreamers.”
So Oudiette continued with the work. In her latest study, she and her colleagues observed 27 people with narcolepsy (嗜睡症) — characterized by daytime sleepiness and a high frequency of clear dreams — and 22 people without the condition. While they were sleeping, participants were repeatedly asked to frown or smile. All of them responded accurately to at least 70% of these tips. Overall response rates were higher for all participants during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, when the deepest sleep occurs but the brain remains quite active, than during other sleep stages.
This study is part of a larger advance in the field of sleep research, says Mélanie Strauss,a cognitive scientist in Brussels. Researchers are moving away from monitoring sleep mainly with EEG (脑电图) and towards “fine grained” approaches that combine EEG with various tasks and stimuli — a strategy that could help to cast light on specific diseases or conditions, she says.
【1】What did scientists think of sleep in the past?
A．It happens during different periods.
B．It is a shadow formed within the brain.
C．It suggests a weakening in the brain’s functions.
D．It means a stop in brain’s response to the outside.
【2】How did clear dreamers react to the experimenters?
A．By moving their face and eyes.
B．By repeating the questions.
C．By providing accurate answers.
D．By talking about their dream.
【3】What can we learn about the participants in the latest study?
A．They like sleeping in the daytime.
B．They remember their dreams clearly.
C．They do exactly as they’re told during sleep.
D．They show higher response in the deepest sleep.
【4】What does Mélanie Strauss mainly tell us in the last paragraph?
A．The limitation of using EEG.
B．A cure for specific diseases.
C．The progress of the sleep research.
D．A method of detecting sleep
29、Everyone agrees that it’s necessary to reduce carbon emissions （排放物） around the world. There is less agreement over exactly how nations should go about achieving a more carbon - free planet. Thus, the environmental equivalent: cap – and – trade carbon emissions, or place a carbon tax on all users?
With cap - and - trade programs, governments limit the level of carbon produced by an industry. Companies that hold their emissions below the cap can sell their remaining allowance on a carbon market, while companies that go beyond their limit must purchase credits on that market. Carbon taxes are more straightforward: a set tax rate is placed on the consumption of carbon with the idea that raising the price will encourage industries and individuals to consume less. At the moment, cap-and-trade has the upper hand, but doesn’t defeat the tax just yet.
Supporters of the tax argue that a cap – and – trade system would be too difficult to administer – and too easily gamed by industries looking to sidestep emissions caps. Cap-and-trade advocates contradict that like all other flat taxes, a carbon collection would relatively burden lower – income families, who spend a greater percentage of their income on energy than rich households.
So which system will have a larger effect on carbon consumption? A 10% carbon tax might reduce the demand for carbon about 5 % or less, according to an analysis by the Carbon Tax Center, an environmental advocacy group. That may not be enough. Businesses and governments haven’t figured out how the two competing systems can work together, but in the end, the world may need both.
【1】The passage focuses on_________.
A. programs of collecting taxes
B. systems of reducing carbon emissions
C. reasons for reducing carbon emissions
D. contradictions between the two systems
【2】According to the cap – and – trade program, companies_________ .
A. are forbidden to produce carbon emissions
B. are allocated the same amount of carbon consumption
C. can sell their remaining allowance within their limits
D. can sell the extra amount of carbon at a higher price
【3】Carbon taxes work by _________.
A. burdening well – off families
B. encouraging industries to consume carbon
C. raising the price for carbon consumption
D. limiting the carbon consumption of industries only
【4】 The underlined word “cap” in the second paragraph most likely refers to_________. A. limit B. credit C. level D. rate
30、One summer night, my friends and I stole into the Jordans’ backyard and started harvesting their sweet, juicy raspberries (树莓). We were enjoying every bite of the tasty berries_______Mr Jordan came charging outside all of a sudden.
“What are you boys doing out here?” he yelled as my friends ran off_______all directions. He attempted to catch one or two as they rushed past him, but they were too_______for the older gentleman to catch. Within seconds, the boys_______into the dark of the summer night. All except me.

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。
It was our first evening dog-sitting while our daughter was on holiday in Costa Rica. Louie, her dog, searched the house for his “mommy”. Then, that disappointed but determined dog had a plan.
While my husband Paul and I were watching TV, we heard loud sounds on the stairs. Something heavy was being dragged (拖) down the stairs. I turned around and found this six-month-old dog was dragging his large carrier down the stairs.
Louie looked at us, moved his tail and ran back up the stairs. We were curious about what he was doing.
We watched in amazement as Louie dragged his personal things, one by one, down the stairs: his blanket, bowl, ball and sweater. This project took most of the evening, and Louie never got tired.
What happened next made us realize that not only did this dog have a purpose but he obviously put thought and reasoning into each move. He put his things in the carrier. This was extremely difficult as the carrier had a lip (口) that was taller than him.
After Louie finished packing his things, he tried to jump inside. Once inside, he got the zipper (拉链) between his teeth and, with all the strength he had, he pulled up the zipper. I admired his patience. Then he lay down and went to sleep.
The message was very clear. He wanted to see his “mommy”. He had seen her pack her suitcase and go away. He must do the same so he could find her. He stayed in the carrier all night, and when I opened it the next morning, he was very excited. Believing he had arrived, he jumped up—but his “mommy” was not there. Then, I started making notes about Louie’s behaviour.
Louie surprised us with new activities every day. He liked going for a car ride with my husband. The possibility of stopping at McDonald’s for chicken was his favorite.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
One day, my husband didn’t stop at McDonald’s and left Louie in the car with the window open.
