26、 My mom was a beauty who seldom spent time and money on her physical appearance—especially in terms of fancy clothes or hairstyles. She just kept beautiful in her way： rest, water, exercise, vegetables and laughter.
My mom would tell me her father had her run his little corner store from the age of ten. She saw poor people come in, looking for food and making hard choices, like meat or cheese. She took their coins with an eye on the bottom line. It was up to her to ensure the register balanced at the end of the day. So from a young age, my mom had her mind conditioned about money.
However, my mom had one weakness： diamonds. In 1958, my teenage dad gave her a diamond chip as an engagement（订婚）ring, which she proudly wore until she saved enough for an “upgrade". By then, she was in her thirties. Over the years, my mom also acquired other diamond pieces like earrings. Mom wore them proudly and she simply loved the way her diamonds sparkled（闪耀）.
On my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, I treated them to dinner at a restaurant. It made her happy, but Mom had her eye on a big diamond to mark the occasion. My dad found her a six-carat（克拉）one. Mom said each carat represented a decade that she loved my dad, plus one to grow on. For the next six years, she never took it off her finger.
Knowing how my mom loved that diamond made it more special when she left it to me. After wearing it on my hand for a year, I decided to set it into a necklace where it'd be closer to my heart. It reminds me of my mom every day, no matter what I'm doing, and it speaks to me in unique ways.
【1】What can we know about Mom?
A.She spent much on her makeup. B.She was a vain beautiful woman.
C.She kept beautiful in a natural way. D.She was proud of her appearance.
【2】What made Mom careful about spending money?

【3】Mom most probably thinks of the diamonds as a sign of_____ .
A.luck B.love C.status D.wealth
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Mother's Love for Diamonds B.Love Between Mother and Daughter
C.Memories of Beautiful Diamonds D.Strong Love for a Determined Mother
27、 Most people who know about diabetes think there are two kinds: type l, which you are born with, and type 2, which you get later in life from eating too much. This isn't quite right, since the two types can occur at different life stages and for a number of reasons, but the broad distinction is well rooted in the public's mind.
Now some doctors want to change that and break the disease down into five subtypes (子类型), each with its own set of risk factors, outcomes and treatments. The new claim was made by researchers based in Sweden and Finland who assessed almost 15,000 people with diabetes in those countries. They found that these people fell into one of five categories based on their blood sugar, insulin (胰岛素) production and sensitivity, and their body mass index and age. The subgroups also vary genetically.
The researchers say that two of the subtypes are mild and can be largely treated with lifestyle changes and small amounts of a standard drug. People with the three more severe forms are more likely to develop eye and kidney disease, so treating them is a must.
So far, so good. After all, this is the way medicine is heading. The more we learn about common diseases, the more we realize there is huge variation in the way they present themselves. For example, research into the genetics of several cancers has helped identify which treatments might work best for individuals.
The idea that a cheap and fairly straightforward blood test could help doctors predict the cause and prognosis (预断) of that individuals' diabetes is appealing. This is especially the case given that an estimated 9 percent of the global population are affected by the disorder and many aren’t getting the right treatment.
But the five subgroups aren't the end of the story. Diabetes just isn't that simple. For a long time, we considered the condition as being either “childhood-onset” or “adult-onset”, and this is how many people still think of the disease. Yet in the last decade, this classification was questioned as it was discovered that adults in their 40s and 50s could develop a form of the disease that looked very “childhood” like, while more children are developing type 2 diabetes. It is also quite likely that the risks and outcomes of diabetes will look different in people who live outside Sweden and Finland, such as in the Middle East whose nations have some of the highest rates of the condition in the world.
【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A．It is believed that diabetes type 1 results from a bad diet.
B．The popular classification of diabetes is not so scientific.
C．Children catch diabetes type 1 easily when born.
D．People are not fully convinced of the different types of diabetes.

C．it helps to make the knowledge of diabetes popular
D．it leads people to believe treating diabetes is a piece of cake
【3】What does the author think of the research on diabetes?
A．It has found a quick solution for curing diabetes.
B．The outcome of the research is sure to be widely applied.
C．More researches are needed to know diabetes well enough.
D．It confirms that three of the five subtypes are mild form.
【4】The purpose of writing the passage is to ________.
A．stress the necessity of carrying out researches on diabetes
B．correct people's knowledge of classifying diabetes
C．advise doctors on how to treat diabetes scientifically
D．inform people of a brand-new view on diabetes
28、 The morning after an evening flight with my then three-year-old daughter, I couldn’t wait to get her to school. I was tired from the anger, and her inability to communicate because of her slowed language development.
As I accompanied her into the car, I felt desperate. Nothing was right with our world. She had been born around the same time the nation was witnessing the birth of another Great Recession(经济萧条）.My job and my house had been victims. Then this happened. My child’s language delay was identified, but doctors struggled to properly diagnosis her. I felt like we both needed to be rescued.
I returned that afternoon as disenchanted with the little girl I loved as when I left.
Walking slowly toward the school’s playground gate, I found her preschool teacher racing to greet me.
“You should have seen her today!” His breathy words were supported by excitement. I didn’t interrupt.“See that climber.”He pointed to a piece of wooden playground equipment that looked like a rock wall. I nodded. “Well, every day since she started school, She’s tired and failed to make it to the top.” He took a breath. “And today she made it.
He expressed his joy just like he'd witnessed her conquering (征服) Mount Everest “”She cheered and celebrated! I wish l'd recorded it.” . His words comforted me. My daughter had conquered her mountain.As she ran toward me, I recognized something I hadn't before. I saw her perseverance. I saw her strength.I saw a hero.

29、A school has punished more than 20 pupils after it considered their shiny black leather Kickers against its uniform regulation.
Within minutes of arriving at Outwood Academy in Acklam, Middlesbrough, on Friday, several pupils had been sent back home for wearing “incorrect" footwear(鞋子). The secondary school, which has 860 pupils, states that only plain black shoes are allowed and trainers, boots, pumps or canvas shoes are banned.
It decided to revise its policy as part of a drive to improve standards at the previously failing school and a letter was sent out reminding parents what it considered to be “correct” footwear last week. But parents have criticized the school, saying their children's shoes were plain black and from the store selling for school wear.
The letter, issued on Wednesday, read, “Students should be wearing black shoes that can be polished. Any other colors of shoes, trainers or boots of any description are not permitted.”
Maddie Hayes, 14, was among a number of students excluded on Friday, despite having worn the same brand of plain black shoe for the last three years. Her mother, Jackie Hayes a travel agent from Coulby Newham, said her daughter was one of more than 20 pupils either sent home or put in isolation (隔离) for wearing the wrong school uniform. “Attendance at the school is already a major issue yet they are sending kids home. Fair enough if the shoes were brightly colored or had high heels, but Maddie's are plain, basic, black shoes.”
But executive principal, Rob Tarn, said some of the shoes were boots, which is against the school's rules. He said. “We have always been clearly regarding our requirements with uniform and our school has high expectations of student behavior. Students whose footwear does not meet the requirements are asked if they wish to borrow a pair of shoes bought by the school until they can purchase a more appropriate pair for themselves, a request which we think to be reasonable.”

B．The school intends to attract more students to attend the classes.
C．The school attempts to make more parents be satisfied with their work.
D．The school decided to improve the standards of the students.
【3】What does the underlined word exclude most probably mean in Paragraph 5?
A．Keep out.
B．Get out.
C．Put out.
D．Cut out.
【4】What can we infer from the passage?

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
In Congress, July 4, 1776
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d【1】 the causes which impel them to the separation.
We h【2】 these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created e【3】, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable R【4】, that among these are life, L【5】, and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, g 【6】 are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the P 【7】 to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, l【8】 its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such f【9】, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their d 【10】, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

My daughter
(A story told by a father, a famous actor)
My wife and I only had the one child. We had Amy.
I see her as my best friend. I think she’d always come to me first if she had a problem. We have the same sense of humor, and share interests. 【1】 I don’t mind animals, she’s completely fascinated with them, and she has always had dogs, cats, horses, and goldfish in her life.
We were 【2】 (close) when she was about four, which I think is a lovely age for a child. They know the parents best, and don’t have outside contacts. She must have grown up suddenly when she went to school, because I remember her growing away from her family slightly. Any father who has a teenager daughter comes across an extraordinary collection of people, and there seemed to be an endless stream of strange young men 【3】 (come) through our house. By the time I learned their names they 【4】 (go) away and I had to start learning a new lot.
I wanted more than anything else for her to be happy in 【5】 she was doing, and I was prepared to pull strings to help her on her way. When she left a good school she decided she wanted to become an actress so I got her into drama school. It wasn’t to her liking so she joined a theatre group and began doing bits and pieces in films. She was doing well, but then gave it up. She probably found it boring. Then she took up social work, and finally went to work 【6】a designer and he became her husband. And that’s really the story of her life. She must be happy with him—they’re always together.
We have such similar tastes in books and music 【7】 I used to take her to see an opera, which is my big passion. However, I don’t think she likes it very much. She doesn’t come with me anymore.
I don’t think she’s a big television watcher. She knows when I’m on the television, and she 【8】 watch, but I don’t know. It’s not the kind of thing she tells me.
We’re very grateful for Amy. She’s a good daughter as daughters go. We’re looking forward to being grandparents.
37、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Everyone has their own unique fingerprint; 【1】 makes fingerprints an ideal way to unlock smartphones. However, this may be 【2】 (safe) than we think.
Scientists at New York University and Michigan State University in the US have developed a set of fake fingerprints. They say that the prints 【3】 unlock any fingerprint-enabled smartphone up to 65 percent of the time.
The artificial fingerprints 【4】 (create) by using many common features found in human prints. They work 【5】 taking advantage of the way smartphone scanners check a fingerprint.
The fingerprint scanners 【6】 (use) in smartphones are so small that they only read parts of fingerprints. So they have to take many scans of your finger or thumb (拇指) 【7】 they work properly. Smartphones also let users save several finger and thumbprints. Since a print only has to match one of the saved images 【8】 (unlock) the phone, the scanner is more likely to make mistakes.
Although the scientists have only tested their findings in computer simulations (模拟), 【9】 (worry) about the safety of using fingerprints are reasonable .They warn that the technology used to create artificial fingerprints is improving 【10】 (extreme) fast.

40、阅读下面文章，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事情节。
When a tornado hit a small town nearby, many families were left homeless. Afterward, all the local newspapers carried stories of the families who suffered the hardest to appeal to people’s attention and assistance.
One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me. A young woman stood in front of a mobile home, a depressed expression on her face. A young boy, seven or eight years old, stood at her side, eyes downcast. Hiding behind her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera, wide eyes with confusion and fear. The article below gave clothing sizes closely matched ours. This would be a good opportunity to teach my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and three-year-old Meghan to help those less fortunate than themselves.
“We have so much. And these poor people now have nothing,” I said. “We’ll share what we have with them.” I brought three large boxes down from the room upstairs and placed them in the living room. Meghan watched seriously, as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods. While I sorted through our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. The boys were pleased to join. Bred rose and went to his room fast. He came back bringing his action figures that he played with not so frequently. Brett also jumped up and ran to fetch some of his Matchbox cars and airplane models. Meghan watched quietly as the boys piled up abandoned toys.
The boys placed the objects they had chosen to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, best-loved rag doll hugged tightly to her chest. “I’ll help you find something for the little girl, too” I said to the little Meghan.
