26、Two-time cancer survivor Tracy Pepper has developed an unlikely friendship — with a beautiful butterfly, which she called Fluffy.

Ms. Pepper found Fluffy in her garden struggling for life soon after birth. After feeding it on honey from a sunflower, Fluffy recovered but didn’t regain the use of its wings and has remained with Ms. Pepper ever since.

She has been recording the experience on social media. In one post, she wrote, “I’m the crazy butterfly lady! I just spent 3 hours playing with him, exercising him by walking him up and down my fingers and arms, feeding him and even giving him the feeling of flying! He sat on my hand and beat his wings as I moved my hand up and down pretending he was flying!”

Ms. Pepper said it was sympathy and empathy that drove her. After battling against cancer twice and keeping herself busy with aid work in Africa, she fell into a “depression” last year.

“When I found him helpless and unable to fly, I knew just how he felt. I went through burn-out last year. I wanted to give up… I felt really lonely.”

So she decided to help the insect, to which she has become attached. Ms. Pepper even advertised tickets of internationally-famous Cirque du Soleil’s act she had for sale because she thought staying at home to care for Fluffy was more important.

Unfortunately, Fluffy wouldn’t be around for long — the lifespan of a butterfly ranges from two to six weeks.

But she seemed to care little about it. She wrote on Facebook, “He has a wonderful life and when his time comes, he will die flat and happy and very very loved.”

【1】What was the butterfly like when Ms. Pepper first saw it?

A．It was dying.

B．It was too old to fly.

C．It was struggling against an enemy.

D．It was feeding itself on honey from a sunflower.

【2】Why did Ms. Pepper sell the tickets of Cirque du Soleil’s act?

A．Because she lost interest in the act.

B．Because she had to stay home to look after the butterfly.

C．Because she was busy with aid work in Africa.

D．Because she suffered from cancer twice and was too weak.

【3】Which words can best describe Ms. Pepper?

A．Determined and hard working

B．kind-hearted and sympathetic

C．Indifferent and selfish

D．Selfless and determined

【4】Why did Ms. Pepper save the butterfly and become friends with it?

A．Because she was interested and curious.

B．Because she loved small animals.

C．Because she showed sympathy and understanding for it.

D．Because she desired to get close to nature.

27、I was born in Tuckahoe，Talbot Country，Maryland. I have no accurate(准确的)knowledge of my age，never having seen any record containing it. By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their ages as horses know of theirs，and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus ignorant(不知情的)．I do not remember having ever met a slave who could tell of his birthday. They seldom come nearer to it than planting­time，harvesting，springtime，or falltime. A lack of information concerning my own was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood. The white children could tell their ages，but I could not tell. Why the same right ought to be taken away from me！I was not allowed to ask my master about it. He considered all such questions on the part of a slave improper and impolite. The nearest estimate(估计)I can live makes me now between twenty­seven and twenty­eight years of age. I come to this，from hearing my master say，some time during 1835，I was about seventeen years old. My mother was named Harriet Bailey. She was the daughter of Isaac and Betsey Bailey，both colored，and quite dark.

My father was a white man. The opinion was also whispered that my master was my father；but of the correctness of this opinion，I know nothing and I have no means to know. My mother and I were separated when I was but an infant—before I knew her as my mother. It is a common custom，in the part of Maryland from which I ran away，to part children from their mothers at a very early age. Frequently，before the child has reached its twelfth month，its mother is taken from it，and hired out on some farm a considerable distance off，and the child is placed under the care of an older woman，too old for field labor.

【1】It can be learned from the text that________.

A．the slaves forgot the exact time when they were born

B．the writer didn't know whether his master was his father

C．the writer was about twenty­seven years old in 1835

D．the writer's mother left him as soon as he was born

【2】The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refers to________.

A．their birthday B．my age

C．a record   D．Maryland

【3】The author was most probably raised________.

A．by his grandparents

B．by an old woman slave

C．with his master's support

D．together with other children

【4】How does the writer feel about not knowing his age?

A．Curious.   B．Unhappy.

C．Astonished.   D．Ashamed.

28、   It has always been thought that when it comes to tornadoes, the most peaceful place is the centre: the eye of the storm. But a photo taken this week in the small Canadian town of Three Hills, Alberta, suggests that there is perhaps no place more peaceful than inside the calm mind of Theunis Wessels.

It all started when Mr Wessels’ wife, Cecilia, was warned by their nine-year-old daughter that he was cutting grass in their yard when a violent tornado appeared in the distance. When her husband refused to come inside, saying it was moving away from them, Mrs Wessels took a photo to show her parents the storm. The photo, which has been shared widely on social media, is a masterclass in calmness.

In it, the sockless Mr Wessels, dressed casually in summer shorts and sunglasses, is seen never being upset by the disastrous column of cloud. “I took the picture just to show my mum and dad in South Africa, ‘Look, there’s a tornado,’ and now everyone is like, Why is your husband cutting the grass?” Cecilia told the Times Colonist.

When asked later about the tornado’s approach to him, Mr Wessels responded, “I was keeping an eye on it,” seeming as cool as his gardening style and attracting more than a little respect. “Alberta, Canada,” wrote one admiring Twitter user, “where men face the elements and do what needs to be done.” A writer for Esquire magazine struck a pensive note: “I can understand Theunis,” Peter Wade admitted, “sometimes when the world is raging outside, the only thing you can do is keep your small area of it.”

【1】How is Paragraph one developed?

A．By listing theories.

B．By giving examples.

C．By analyzing causes.

D．By making comparisons.

【2】Why did Cecilia take the photo?

A．To post it on social media.

B．To record her husband’s heroic act.

C．To inform her parents of the tornado.

D．To prove what is the most peaceful place.

【3】Which may make Mr. Wessels respected?

A．His way of gardening.

B．His calmness in the face of a tornado.

C．His bravery in fighting the tornado.

D．His rich knowledge about tornado.

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A．A man ignored a tornado in Canada.

B．There are some features of tornado in Canada.

C．A man survived surprisingly from a tornado.

D．A picture caused heated discussions.

29、   We had a military training for a whole week in late August after stepping into our new senior high school. The military coaches were all strict with us. Frankly speaking, we all felt very tired, and even had pains in our legs. However, we all persisted in practising, and felt satisfied with ourselves eventually.

In the morning we arrived at the playground in lines on time. Then you could hear our military coaches shout at the top of their voices“Stand at attention”, “Stand at ease”,“Tum left”,“March”,“Run…”, All the students were practicing carefully. Exhausted as we were, none of us asked to have a rest, none of us complained, none of us wanted to drop out. Under the blazing sun, despite high temperature and thirst, we stood still for an hour with sweat dripping down from our faces all the time. In the moonlight, we played games heartily, bursting into laughter now and then. On the grass, divided into two groups, we competed to sing encouraging military songs in high spirits one after another. At the meeting, hearing their moving speech, we felt regretful for wasting time before. At that time we realized we should have been grateful to our parents and teachers, with tears in our eyes. And we all made up our minds to study harder. On the afternoon of the last day, our principal sang high praise for our behaviour, and encouraged us to keep this persistent spirit in future.

Though this military training is a tough experience, we challenged ourselves and overcame those difficulties. We felt proud from the bottom of our hearts. There is no doubt that this military training has left a deep and durable impression on me, on all my classmates.

【1】How does the author like this military training?

A.Tiring and disappointing. B.Enjoyable and comfortable.

C.Meaningful and fruitful. D.Surprising and exciting.

【2】What does the writer mainly describe in Paragraph 2?

A.They had some difficulties in practicing.

B.They always practiced without difficulty.

C.They made every effort to practice and behaved very well.

D.The principal hoped to praise them in person.

【3】What will the writer do if he meets a new student of this school next August?

A.Persuade him or her to study hard.

B.Advise him or her to run regularly on the playground with some military coaches.

C.Try to make the principal praise him or her.

D.Encourage him or her to take military training seriously, and finish it successfully.

【4】What may be the best title of this passage?

A.Some Strict Coaches B.A Far-reaching Experience

C.Persistence Is Important D.A Difficult Period

The Kite Without a Thread

One day a father and son went to the kite-flying festival. The young son was very happy when he saw the sky filled with colorful kites. He asked his father to get him a kite and a thread with a roller so that he could fly a kite, too. The father went to the shop at the park where the festival was being held, and bought a kite and a roll of thread for his son.

His son started to fly the kite, and soon his kite flew high up in the sky. After a while, the son said, “Dad, it seems that the thread is holding up the kite from flying higher. If we break it, the kite will be free and will also fly even higher. Can we break it?” The father said, “Of course!” And he cut the thread from the roller. The kite started to go a little higher, which made his son very happy.
