26、Lakes, ponds, and beaches mean summer fun and cool relaxation from hot weather.But water also can be dangerous for kids if you don't take great care.Nearly 1,000 kids die each year by drowning.Here are some tips to keep your kids safe in the water:
At the Lake or Pond
●Don't let little kids swim alone without adult supervision— lakes or ponds may be shallow near the bank and are suddenly deep sharply further out from shore.
●Ponds and lakes may hide sharp rocks, broken glass, or rubbish.
●Make sure kids wear foot protection; even in the water, they should wear socks or water shoes.
●Watch out for weeds and grass in the water that could trap a leg or arm.
●Most boating accidents, particularly among teenagers, are related to alcohol.Be sure teens know about the dangers of alcohol, on and off the water.
At the Beach
●Teach kids to always swim when and where a lifeguard is on duty.Unlike the calm waters of a swimming pool, the beach has special dangers like currents and tides.Check with the lifeguard when you arrive to find out about the water conditions.
●Tell kids never to stand with their back to the water because a sudden wave can easily knock a child over.
●Teach kids that if they're caught in a dangerous wave, they should swim to the shore or should tread water and call for a lifeguard's help.
Whether at the lake or at the beach, teach your child to get out of the water during bad weather, especially lightning.
【1】Which is the right behavior when swimming at the beach? ________
A. Go off the water without a lifeguard on duty.

27、As more and more people speak the global languages of English,Chinese, Spanish,and Arabic,other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
In an effort to prevent language loss,scholars from a number of organizations — UNESCO and National Geographic among them — have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center,Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal.
Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.
At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials — including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes — which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.
Now, through the two organizations that he has founded — the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project — Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world,available not just to scholars but to the youngers.
Generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.
【1】Many scholars are making efforts to________.
A.promote global language
B.rescue disappearing languages
C.search for language communities
D.set up language research organizations
【2】What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Having full records of the languages.
B.Writing books on language teaching.
C.Telling stories about language users.
D.Living with the native speakers.
【3】What is Turin’s book based on?
A.The cultural studies in India.
B.The documents available at Yale.
C.His language research in Bhutan.
D.His personal experience in Nepal.
【4】Which of the following best describes Turin’s work?
A.Write, sell and donate.
B.Record, repair and reward.
C.Design, experiment and report.
D.Collect, protect and reconnect.
28、A while ago, people used to believe that only humans can use tools — but Jane Goodall showed that humans aren’t the only ones to do so. We’ve since found several species that build and use their own tools. Then, many thought that it’s our cultural and family ties that separate us from the animals. Actually, that’s not true either. Several other species, including whales, have shown important cultural behaviors.
Researchers have found that related whales returned to the same locations year after year, and decade after decade, passing the information from one generation to the next. Researchers analyzed the structure of the beluga whale society, finding that migratory culture is inherited(继承). Furthermore, this cultural inheritance maintains the family ties of beluga whales. This cultural legacy(遗传)is so powerful that some travel as far as 6,000 kilometers each year.
“What interested us most was whether particular whales returned to where they were born or grew up and if this was an inherited behavior,” said Greg O’ Corry-Crowe, Ph.D., lead author and a research professor at FAU’s Harbor Branch. “The only way that we could definitively answer these questions was to find and track close relatives from one year to the next and one decade to the next.”
Researchers also found that beluga whales exhibit an impressively broad range of vocal repertoires and acoustic systems(复杂的声音体系)which suggests that they form complex interpersonal relationships. They like to hang out in the thousands near shore during the summer when the ice melts. Eventually, researchers hope that this will not only enable us to better understand these surprisingly complex species but also develop better ways to protect them in the face of a changing environment — the polar regions, where the beluga whales live, are extremely exposed to climate change.
“Findings from our study are expanding our understanding of how complicated non- primate(非灵长类)societies can be and how important culture is for the survival of these species,” said O’ Corry-Crowe. “Our findings also will influence our thinking in terms of how populations and species are going to adapt to dramatic environmental changes. There are few places where this is more urgent than in the rapidly changing polar regions.”
【1】According to the passage, whales usually .
A. produce their tools B. use their own tools
C. live near the coast D. have their cultural ties
【2】It can be inferred that migratory culture has .
A. a short and insignificant effect on beluga whales
B. inherited from the structure of beluga whale society
C. a long and far-reaching effect on beluga whales
D. attracted beluga whales to several fixed locations
【3】What’s the purpose of the research?
A. To find beluga whales’ behaviors.
B. To find beluga whales’ acoustic systems.
C. To find beluga whales’ interpersonal relationships.
D. To better understand and protect beluga whales.
【4】Why does O’ Corry-Crowe consider it urgent to understand beluga whales’ adaption to their surroundings?
A. Because of the very sophisticated non-primate societies.
B. Because of the rapid environmental changes in polar regions.
C. Because of the misunderstanding of beluga whales’ migrations.
D. Because of the too far distance for beluga whales to migrate.
29、Who has never made a mistake? The answer is, of course, no one.
【1】They are an important part of the learning process. However, regretting our mistakes for a long time is not healthy. We need to learn from them and then move on.
One of America's most famous writers and thinkers, Ralph Waldo Emerson, said it much better than I can.
"【2】 You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities (荒谬) no doubt crept in. Forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered (拖累) with your old nonsense."
When Emerson says "blunders and absurdities", he simply means mistakes. 【3】 However, to be "encumbered" is the opposite. This means to be heavy and loaded down with things. To Emerson, those "things" are past mistakes, or as he calls them, "Your old nonsense".
【4】 When we worry about something, we think about it constantly. It becomes a distraction (分心的事) and keeps us from moving forward.
There is another shorter sentence which can help you move on and forget your past mistakes—"Don't cry over spilt milk."
When we "cry over spilt milk", we are sad about something bad we have done. This is another way of saying "What is done is done." 【5】 You cannot change the past. So stop thinking about it.
So if you are still unhappy about one of your mistakes, it is time to let it go. Making a mistake is not a big deal, but being worried about a mistake is really a big mistake.
A.Don't make foolish mistakes.
B.It means a terrible problem in life.
C.Finish each day and be done with it.
D.Mistakes are not just a part of life.
E.If you spill milk, you cannot put it back in the bottle.
F.To do something filled with peaceful feelings is to do something "serenely".
G.Many people use this quote (引用) to remind themselves not to keep thinking about the past.

32、阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
We probably know that smoking is bad for our health. But what about e-cigarettes? Introduced as a "less-harmful or safer" alternative to smoking, e-cigarettes or "vaping" has gained increasing popularity. However, the Chinese government released a notice to ban the online sales of e-cigarettes from Nov. 1st and further reduce the young's access to the products.
This means that e-cigarette makers have to close their online stores and take down online advertisements for e-cigarettes. So far, some e-cigarette firms have closed sales links on their websites, and more than a dozen online stores have removed related products, Xinhua reported. This is not the first government measure to limit the use of e-cigarettes. In August 2018, e-cigarettes were banned from sale to people under the age of 18.
Research has shown that e-cigarette companies tend to target young people with their advertising campaigns, according to the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration. It's found that many firms have been misleading young buyers with messages like, "E-cigarettes could help you quit smoking," and, "E-cigarettes are healthy and harmless." Some even claim that vaping symbolizes "young," "fashionable" and "trendy" to attract the young. Michael Blaha, a researcher at the Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease, also mentioned that a lower per-use cost than traditional cigarettes and a wide range of sweet flavors, like apple pie and watermelon, contribute to vaping's popularity among young people.
However, e-cigarettes contain nicotine(though not always), flavorings, and other chemicals, they are harmful to health. Taking in nicotine during youth can lead to addiction and cause long-term harm to brain development. Flavorings added to e-cigarettes can produce more harmful toxins after heating. Thus, it is advisable that the young should limit the exposure to e-cigarettes.
