26、Tasked with helping to make sure Utrecht’s canals remain full of life, and convincing everyone it wasn’t an April Fools’ Day joke, two ecologists in the Dutch city have invented the world’ s first “fish doorbell”.
An underwater, live-streaming camera at the “Weerdsluis” lock door allows residents to ring a virtual doorbell which can be heard by the local lock keeper when they see that fish are trying to get through. A lock is a gate that raises or lowers canal boats into different levels of water separated by two doors, and a sluice is a small fish-sized door that allows water and fish to pass between them.
“You have to see the canal as a motorway for fishes. Sometimes you see literally dozens of fish floundering in front of the lock gate, so a fish jam is created,” says underwater nature expert Mark Heukelum. “The Weerdsluis is the link between the Vecht and the Kromme Rijn. In winter the fish swim deeper, because it is warmer and safer there. In summer they want to go to shallow water so that they can reproduce,” he adds.
Mark Heukelum came up with the doorbell idea while working with wildlife ecologist Anne Nijs on a project to highlight the biodiversity in Utrecht’ s canals. At that time they noticed how the lock keeper Patrick opened the sluice to allow a large group of arriving fish to pass through.
Nijs says it’s a great way to connect residents with their aquatic neighbors, and noted that when Mark took the idea to the municipality they were very excited. The only uncertainty was why they created a camera and a signal to Patrick when they could just install a motion-activated (动作感应的) sensor.
Mark Heukelum explains: “Technically that is probably possible, but this is of course much more fun. I am already addicted to it myself and watch it every night. You suddenly see a large pike swimming by or a lobster. It would be nice if you could spot a rarer fish such as a bindweed or bleak. Or maybe an eel.”
【1】What can we know about the “Weerdsluis”?
A．It connects two places on Utrecht’s canals.
B．It is a fish species found in Utrecht’s canals.
C．It is a group of residents on Utrecht’s canals.
D．It controls the water temperatures in Utrecht’s canals.
【2】What does the underlined word “floundering” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Performing.
B．Settling down.
C．Struggling.
D．Giving birth.
【3】What gave Mark Heukelum the idea of the “fish doorbell”?
A．Anne Nijs’ suggestion.
B．A TV program.
C．An April Fools’ Day joke.
D．A scene at the “Weerdsluis” lock door.
【4】Why did Mark Heukelum prefer a “fish doorbell” to a motion-activated device?
A．It’s technically much easier.
B．It costs much less to build.
C．It is much more interesting.
D．It’s environmentally friendly.
27、In the early 1980s, one of our neighbors asked my mom if she would make a few gift baskets for her to give as gifts for the holidays. My mom agreed and news of the unique gift baskets my mom was making spread like wildfire throughout the neighborhood. My mom was busy throughout the holiday season, so she asked a friend to help her. When the orders continued after the holiday season for baby gifts, birthday gifts and more, it occurred to them that maybe this job could be turned into a business and they did it.
My mom went into her business because she had creative ideas. She got orders and filled order. But there was no goal and no real plan. In 1991, my mom’s partner got into financial trouble and there was not enough money to support either mom or her partner.
So if you are led by your creativity or enthusiasm, make sure you ask yourself what you purpose to do your business is. If you don’t set goals, how will you know which direction to go in? Do you want to create jobs and growth in the economy? Are you looking for a hobby? You can’t keep scores if you don’t know what game you are playing.
After my mom’s partner quit, she had to abandon her business to support herself. She swore she would run a business again and do it differently the next time. However, there wasn’t a “next time” for her. She passed away just after her 51st birthday. She never had someone tell her how important having a goal was, she never had a chance to be everything she could be.
There are no right or wrong goals, only the ones that matter to you. Set them so that you can make progress and achieve success, whatever they may mean to you.
【1】What did the writer’s mom do after failing in her business?
A. She found a different partner.
B. She celebrated her 51st birthday.
C. She planned to have a second try with different methods.
D. She decided never to run a business again.
【2】What can we infer from the passage?
A. The writer began her business with a set goal.
B. The writer mother was a woman without creativity.
C. The writer’s mother died because of her failure in business.
D. The writer believes having goals in mind ensured one’s success.
【3】How does the writer present his point of view mainly?
A. By providing examples. B. By explaining causes.
C. By making comparisons. D. By listing figures.
28、One of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?
Listen—Listen when your friends are talking. Don't say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it's not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.
Help them—If your friends are ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don't do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra pencil or pen with you to classes in case they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.
Be there for them—Be there for your friends to make them feel better in hard times. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U．S. actor, once said，“I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control, but if you can't stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve to be with me at my best.” Always remember this! If you don't want to stay with your friends when they're in hard times, then you don't deserve to be with them when they're having a good time!
________—Try to make plans with your friends. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to the movies and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. And you'll remember these things when you're all old!

29、Paul O’Sullivan was in his Baltimore apartment one evening in 2014. Feeling bored, he logged on to Facebook to find out just how many others shared his name. Moments later, dozens of Paul O’Sullivans popped out. Out of curiosity, he sent friend requests to them.
Many of his fellow Paul O’Sullivans ignored his request, but a few accepted his invitation. To his amazement, he noticed four of them were musicians. Wouldn’t it be funny, he asked the other musical Pauls, if they formed a band called The Paul O’Sullivans? So they did.
Starting a band across many time zones proved to be tricky. To fix the problem, they created a sort of musical assembly line. Baltimore Paul and Rotterdam Paul wrote and recorded a basic track, then e-mailed it to Manchester Paul, who recorded a bass track. Later, Pennsylvania Paul added the drumbeat. Round and round the track went, with each member adding on his own layer.
In March 2016, the band released its first original song “Namesake” to honor their friendship. But just months later, Baltimore Paul began experiencing health issues. To support him, the other Pauls shared family pictures and chatted live on Instagram.
It was about four years before Baltimore Paul was well enough to start making music again. And when COVID-19 slowly shut down the world just weeks later, the Pauls didn’t miss a beat. After all, the band had already been skilled at remote work. But now their international connection took on a new meaning. “Writing a song with someone across the ocean makes you feel less trapped,” says Baltimore Paul. They used their time during the pandemic to record their first EP.
Half of the money made from the EP will be donated. “Life is tough sometimes,” says Pennsylvania Paul. “So just try to generate joy.”
【1】How did Baltimore Paul reach out to other Pauls?
A．By writing e-mails.
B．By accepting invitations.
C．By sharing his name.
D．By sending requests.
【2】What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．The creation of the band.
B．How the band worked initially.
C．How the band grew popular.
D．The challenges the band faced.
【3】What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 5 mean?
A．The band continued to make music despite the lockdown.
B．The band were too familiar with their music to make mistakes.
C．The band took advantage of the chance to support each other.
D．The band wanted to defeat COVID-19 with their music.
【4】Which of the following best describes the band?
A．Creative and caring.
B．Hard-working and strict.
C．Open-minded and funny.
D．Tough and traditional.

32、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Amanda felt as gray as the sky outside when she looked across the table at her little sister. Li sat on her seat, drinking from her cup.
“Mom, why does Li hate me?”
“Honey, she doesn’t hate you. Li is still getting used to you,” Mom said. “It’s only been two weeks.”
“But look,” Amanda took a cookie off her dish and held it out to Li. “Want to eat it?”
As soon as Li saw Amanda reaching over, her eyes widened. Li quickly got down from her seat and raced to her room.
“See?” Amanda said to Mom. “I thought being a big sister would be fun.”
Over a year ago, Amanda’s parents said that they were adopting (收养) a daughter from China, and Amanda had danced with excitement. She’d dreamed of taking her sister to the park, reading books to her, and teaching her to ride a bicycle. That hadn’t happened.
“She runs away whenever I get close,” Amanda said.
Mom took Amanda’s hand. “Think of how frightening it is for her. She’s in a new country with a new family.”
“I just wish I knew how to help her,” Amanda said, thinking of Li’s frightened eyes.
Amanda went into the family room and sat down on the sofa. How could she help Li? She’d sung songs to her, drawn pictures for her, and made funny faces. None of that had worked.
Amanda turned on the TV. She stopped to watch a film about a dog and a cat. The film was in another language. The show looked funny, but she didn’t understand any of it. It made Amanda remember when they were in China. She had gotten frustrated (沮丧的) when people talked in Chinese.
That’s it. Amanda turned off the TV and sped to her room. She found the CDs Aunt Linda gave her last year to help her learn some Chinese.
Amanda tiptoed (踮着脚走) to Li’s room. Looking in, Amanda saw Li curled up (蜷缩) in a ball on her bed. She could hear Li sobbing (啜泣). Amanda knocked on the open door.
Li moved to the back of her bed.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
“Ni hao,” Amanda said, hoping she had pronounced it right.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When she didn’t hear any sobs, Amanda looked over at the bed and saw Li smiling.
