26、China is a country of many resources. Among its resources are many great rivers, which provide useful transport routes. Water transport is an efficient way to carry heavy loads, such as grain. In ancient times, a waterway was needed between China’s rich farmlands and the capital city. This need inspired engineers to build a canal. According to writings by the ancient thinker Confucius, work on a canal linking the Yangze River with the city of Huai-in began about 486 B.C. For many centuries afterward, Chinese emperors worked on extending this ancient canal.
This canal is now known as China’s Grand Canal. One thousand years after the original canal was begun, it was in extreme need of repair. This was in the year 607, during the Sui Dynasty. By 610 the emperor had had the canal extended. The Grand Canal formed a northeast-southwest link between the Yellow River in the north and the Huai River in the south. The canal remained the main waterway in this part of China for the next five hundred years.
In the thirteenth century, the Mongols had conquered China. The Yuan Dynasty established Beijing as the capital. The city’s growing population needed food, so a new canal was built to extend shipping. Building this part of the Grand Canal required enormous effort and cost. Neither the first attempt nor the second one was successful, so the builders chose another route. Finally this link in the Grand Canal was finished.
By the time of the Ming Dynasty, the Grand Canal had six sections. These were busy with goods until the nineteenth century. Then a series of severe floods struck China. Parts of the Grand Canal were badly damaged. By 1868 it had been largely abandoned as a means of northern route.
The Grand Canal was mostly restored in the twentieth century. It was widened and deepened, and a new section was constructed. Today the canal, which is about 1,200 miles in length, has new locks(运河的水闸). It is busy with ships and barges(驳船) carrying goods to and from cities along its banks.
【1】The Grand Canal was first built in ancient times to provide .
A. water for agriculture.
B. water transport between farmlands and the capital.
C. efficient transportation for the emperor’s army.
D. a convenient way for the emperor’s recreation.
【2】From the passage, one can conclude that ancient engineers who began the Grand Canal _.
A. worked with limited knowledge and skills.
B. were given a great deal of money for their achievement.
C. found a brilliant and lasting solution to their transportation problem.
D. were inspired by the ancient thinker Confucius.
【3】The first large-scale(大规模的) repair of the original canal occurred in about .
A. 486 B.C. B. 607 A.D. C. the Yuan Dynasty D. the Ming Dynasty
【4】Considering its history, one can predict that in the future the Grand Canal will probably .
A. be extended to further north China.
B. change from a shipping route to a recreation area.
C. need to be repaired and rebuilt.
D. be abandoned in favor of air transport and highways.
27、I should not have dressed up. Obviously, no other fifth grader had felt driven to celebrate the first day of school via fancy clothing. So I stood out not just as a newcomer, but as an awkwardly dressed one. Scratching at black tights with the toe of my sneaker, I paused uncertainly in the doorway of the Writing Room.
Pausing uncertainly, however, was not the way of the world of Mr. Matthews. This red-haired, red-beard, red-faced man seemed to call wildly to me to enter. I walked over to a seat and in three minutes of casual observation was convinced that I had never known an adult like him. He laughed from his belly, moved his ears on request, and his face then turned even redder. His students loved him; it was evident from the way they greeted him to the way they relaxed when they entered his room.
On the contrary, I was not relaxed. I was uninterested in writing. My only previous writing experience had been in cloth-covered books with more room for pictures than print. I had no idea what to expect from a class that was just called “Writing”, but I was certain I wasn’t going to like it.
Yet Mr. Matthews spent that first class entertaining us. He told stories, jokes, and then ended the class early, making us have a rest. Our homework to write about the best part of summer seemed almost an afterthought for him.
However, I was seized by a desire to do my homework. It wasn’t anything specific he had said in class that day, but the way he had acted. I wanted this man to like and approve of me, and the quickest way to earn this was through my writing.
That night, despite having dealt with a word processor all of twice in my life, I wrote with passion. Proudly handing it in the next morning, I was sure it was the best thing I’d ever written. For the rest of the year, this one-man audience inspired me to improve continuously. The fifth grader would never have guessed that, six years later, writing would become a voluntary, daily activity, flowing from journals to emails to poetry workshops to newspapers.
All because she wanted to win a crazy teacher’s favor!
【1】Why did the author hesitate to enter the Writing Room?
A．Because she observed her classroom carefully.
B．Because she was overdressed for her first school day.
C．Because she was laughed about her appearance at school.
D．Because she made a new friend outside the Writing Room.
【2】What was the author’s attitude towards writing before she entered Mr. Matthews’ classroom?
A．Favorable but not good at it.
B．Uninterested and without experience.
C．Relaxing and want to try.
D．Proud and do a good job.
【3】What was the author’s impression of Mr. Matthews?
A．Shy and sensitive.
B．Brave and smart.
C．Strict and punctual.
D．Funny and interesting.
【4】What mainly caused the author to work hard on her first writing homework?
A．Her wish to impress her teacher.
B．Her great future job goal.
C．Her teacher’s encouragement.
D．Her excellent writing skills.

29、Honeybees can't swim, and when their wings are wet, they can't fly, either. But Chris Roh and other researchers at the California Institute of Technology found that when bees drop into bodies of water, they can use their wings to produce little waves and slide toward land-like surfers who create and then ride their own waves.
As with many scientific advances－Isaac Newton's apple or Benjamin Franklin's lightning bolt－Dr. Roh's experiment began with a walk. Passing Caltech's Millikan Pond in 2016, he observed a bee on the water's surface producing waves. He wondered how an insect known for flight could push itself through water.
Dr. Roh and his co-worker, Morteza Gharib, used butterfly nets to collect local Pasadena honeybees and observed their surf-like movements. The researchers used a wire to restrict each bee's bodily movement, allowing close examination of their wings. They found that the bee bends its wings at a 30-degree angle, pulling up water and producing a forward force. Bees get trapped on the surface because water is about three times heavier than air. But that weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down. It's a tough exercise for the bees, which the researchers guess could handle about 10 minutes of the activity.
The researchers said the surf-like movement hasn't been documented in other insects and most semiaquatic (半水生) insects use their legs for propulsion (推进力), which is known as water-walking. It may have evolved in bees, they predicted.
Dr. Roh and Dr. Gharib have imagined many practical applications for bees'surfing. One plan is to use their observations to design robots able to travel across sky and sea. “This could be useful for search and rescues, or for getting samples of the surface of the ocean, if you can't send a boat or helicopter,” Dr. Gharib said.
【1】What does the author intend to show by referring to Newton and Franklin?
A．Roh's admiration for them.
B．Roh's chance discovery about bees.
C．Their outstanding talent for science.
D．Their similar achievements in discovery.
【2】What plays the most important role in a bee's moving forward on water?
A．The air weight.
B．The bee's weight.
C．The water surface.
D．The bee's continuous wingbeat.
【3】What does the underlined word “evolved” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Changed quickly.
B．Developed gradually.
C．Became better.
D．Became worse.
【4】What can Roh's robot do according to the passage?
A．It can search wild animals in the forest fire.
B．It can travel across sky with the aid of helicopter.
C．It can get samples of the surface of the ocean by itself.
D．It can rescue survivors from underground after earthquake.

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。
Everyone’s first job is special, because you gain useful experience that you can use in other positions in future. It also teaches you about the value of money.
When I was about sixteen years old, I wanted to buy albums of my favourite band, but I did not have any money. This was because the money my parents gave me was just enough to get by. I had to find a part-time job in order to purchase the music I wanted.
Luckily, I found that there were many old people who needed help in my neighbourhood. And I chose the oldest person I knew, Mrs. Hudson, who was over eighty years old, and could not tend her garden anymore. She had flowers, a grass lawn, and some tomato plants. I knocked on her door, trying to build up enough courage to ask her for work. She answered that indeed she needed help in her garden.
My first job was to pull out weeds. I got down on my knees and began to pull them out one by one in her front yard and backyard. Finishing this tiring and boring task, I mowed her lawn front and back. That was the first day of my job, and it took me about two hours. After that, I was paid ten dollars for my work. It was less than I thought, but at least I had earned my first money.
After getting that ten dollars, I intended to go to the supermarket to buy my favourite album. I chose a nice morning to do it because I knew it would be a memorable moment when I was able to buy what I liked through my efforts. But on the way to supermarket, I happened to see my mom “working” on the opposite side of the road. Actually, I had never seen how she worked before, I just knew she was a saleswoman.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Under the burning sun, my mom was distributing leaflets (分发传单) to passers-by, sweating all over.

Then I continued making my way to the supermarket, and suddenly a good idea occurred to me.
