28、An excerpt from Shoes Were for Sunday by Molly Weir
One of the phrases which greatly puzzled me was “entertaining angels unaware”. How could anybody be unaware of entertaining an angel, I thought? It never occurred to me that angelic qualities could hide under very ordinary voices and in everyday bodies.
My angel, as it turned out, hid inside the little figure of my school-teacher, Miss McKenzie. To me she was always a little old lady, with her grey hair framing a round rosy face and caught up in an old-fashioned bun (发髻) on top of her head.
Although I enjoyed Miss McKenzie’s approval, I never really felt very close to her. It never dawned on me to ask her advice as to what I should do when I left school. Surely there was only one thing to do:get a job and earn money as quickly as possible. But Miss McKenzie had other ideas. We in our house knew nothing of scholarships for fatherless children. The idea of a child from a working-class household going to college was the very stuff of story-books.
Unknown to us, she forced the headmaster to put my name forward for a special scholarship open to children who showed some promise, and who would benefit from further education. He agreed, although he was a bit worried about the expense of keeping me at college for a whole year. No earnings from me, and fares and clothes to be covered, for, of course, only the fees would be paid if I won.
Miss McKenzie brushed all argument aside. To this day I can remember my complete astonishment when, on being asked if she felt I had any particular qualities, this elderly teacher banged the desk with her fist, and declared in an American idiom I never suspected she knew, ‘I’d stake my bottom dollar on this girl!’
I trembled at the passion in her voice, and at her faith in me. “What if I fail her?” I gasped to myself. “What if she has to pay all the money back if I let her down?” I knew we hadn’t a spare dollar to repay anybody, and I was sick with a sense of responsibility in case I messed up.
The time at college went by quickly. At the end of my year at college I was able to lay before her the college gold medal as the year’s top student and a whole pile of certificates.
And suddenly as I gazed at her, and saw her eyes shining with pride behind the gold-rimmed glasses, I realized how widely she had thrown open the door of opportunity for me. And I knew for the first time what the phrase “entertaining angels unaware” meant. For there, standing before me in class, was my very own angel, Miss McKenzie.
【1】The author’s description of Miss McKenzie in paragraphs 2 and 5 aims to ______.
A.explain why she always kept a safe distance from Miss McKenzie
B.contrast the inner qualities of McKenzie with her humble appearance
C.emphasize that she and Miss McKenzie both came from an ordinary family
D.illustrate the influence of the strong faith Miss McKenzie had in her

A.it is unlikely for children from an ordinary family to further their study in college
B.going to university can help those from working-class climb up the social ladder
C.those who can only read stories do not meet the minimum requirement of college
D.the author had the idea of going to college because she was inspired by some stories
【3】In Paragraph 6, the author felt ______ when she heard Miss McKenzie’s passionate voice.
A.shocked and encouraged
B.embarrassed and reluctant
C.uncertain and stressed
D.worried and purposeful
【4】The author’s main purpose of writing this passage is to ______.
A.recall her schooldays and her past achievements

D.encourage readers to find the angels around them
29、Recently, Australian scientists learned something unexpected about magpies ( a kind of bird ) when they tried to attach trackers to them to learn more about how far they flew and what they did during a normal day as they are concerned that magpies may have a hard time adjusting as the world warms up because of climate change.
It’s hard to find trackers that work well with small and middle-sized birds. The previous trackers were either too heavy or didn’t last long enough. The researchers tried a new tracker on the magpies. They were light and could be recharged (再充电) without wires (电线) while they were still on the birds. And to keep the trackers on the birds without causing flying problems, the researchers developed a special device to hold the tracker in place. It was strong, so it wouldn’t come off by accident. But it had a special release controlled by magnets (磁铁). This was meant to allow the scientists to free the birds from the device, without having to catch the birds again.
There was just one problem — the birds didn’t like the trackers. The researchers placed trackers on five magpies. But just ten minutes after setting up the last magpie, they noticed something unusual: an adult female magpie was helping another magpie get free from its device. By the third day, none of the birds had trackers anymore.
The scientists were disappointed about the trackers, but they realized that the magpies had taught them something else: that magpies are able and willing to help each other out. They don’t know how the magpies cracked the difficult problem of getting the device off. They also don’t know if it was just one magpie or several which removed them. However, the researchers are glad they’ve learned about the saving behavior of magpies and now they need to try again to figure out a good way to track these clever birds.
【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The introduction to the new tracker.
B.The design process of the new tracker.
C.The methods of powering the new tracker.
D.The significance of using the new tracker.
【2】What does the underlined word “ cracked ” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Ignored.
B.Corrected.
C.Approached.
D.Chose.
【3】How did the research end up?
A.The trackers got out of order while working.
B.The scientists collected valuable reference data.
C.The researchers gave up their observation of the birds.
D.The scientists failed to track the birds but got a surprise outcome.
【4】What could be the best title of the text?
A.Magpies Are on the Edge of Extinction
B.Scientists Are Seeking Ways to Track Birds
C.A New Device Was Invented to Protect Birds
D.Magpies Teach Scientists an Unexpected Lesson
