26、Suddenly Uncle Henry stood up. “There’s a cyclone coming, Em,” he called to his wife. “I’ll go to look after the stock.” Then he ran toward the sheds where the cows and horses were kept.

Aunt Em dropped her work and came to the door. One glance told her of the danger close at hand. “Quick, Dorothy!” she screamed. “Run for the cellar(地窖)!” Toto jumped out of Dorothy’s arms and hid under the bed, and the girl started to get him. Aunt Em, badly frightened, threw open the trap door in the floor and climbed down the ladder into the small, dark hole. Dorothy caught Toto at last and started to follow her aunt. When she was halfway across the room, there came a great roar from the wind, and the house shook so hard that she lost her footing and sat down suddenly upon the floor.

Then a strange thing happened. The house circled around two or three times and rose slowly through the air. Dorothy felt as if she were going up in a balloon. It was very dark, and the wind blew horribly around her, but Dorothy found she was riding quite easily. After the first few twists and turns, and one other time when the house tipped badly, she felt as if she were being rocked gently, like a baby in a cradle. Toto did not like it. He ran about the room, now here, now there, barking loudly; but Dorothy sat quite still on the floor and waited to see what would happen.

At last she crawled over the swinging floor to her bed, and lay down upon it; and Toto followed and lay down beside her. In spite of the swinging of the house and the crying of the wind, Dorothy soon closed her eyes and fell fast asleep.

【1】What does the underlined word “cyclone” in paragraph 1 probably mean?

A．Hurricane.

B．Flood.

C．Monster.

D．Earthquake.

【2】Why did Aunt Em go into the hole in the floor when the cyclone approached?

A．To find the puppy Toto.

B．To find shelter from the cyclone.

C．To protect their fortune.

D．To get tools to help Henry.

B．She found herself flying in a balloon.

C．She turned baby crying loudly.

D．She remained undisturbed with Toto.

【4】Which words can best describe Dorothy in the emergency?

B．Curious.

C．Calm.

D．Excited.

27、In Mark Turin’s article “Protecting Our Public Spaces” in Issue 14, he claims that “all graffiti (涂鸦) is vandalism (故意破坏财物), pure and simple, and offers no benefit to our public spaces.” I would like to point out that many people believe that graffiti is an art form that can benefit our public spaces just as much as sculptures, fountains, or other more accepted art forms.

People who object to graffiti usually do so more because of where it is, not what it is. They argue that posting graffiti in public places is considered an illegal act of property damage. But the location of such graffiti should not prevent the images themselves from being considered real art.

I would argue that graffiti is the most important public art form. Spray paint is a medium unlike any other. Through graffiti, the entire world has become a canvas (画布). These works of art dotting the urban landscape are available, free of charge, to everyone who passes by.

To be clear, I do not consider random words or names sprayed on stop signs to be art. Plenty of graffiti is just vandalism, pure and simple. However, there is also graffiti that is breathtaking in its complex detail, its realism, or its creativity. It takes great talent to create such involved designs with spray paint. Are these creators not artists just because they use a can of spray paint instead of a paintbrush?

To declare that all graffiti is vandalism, and nothing more, is a too simplistic statement. Furthermore, graffiti is not going anywhere, so we might as well find a way to live with it and enjoy its benefits. One choice could be to make a percentage of public space open to graffiti artists. By doing this, the public might feel like part owners of these works of art, rather than just the victims of a crime.

【1】Mark Turin apparently believes that graffiti ________.

A．is not an art form

B．is too simple to be considered art

C．can only sometimes be considered a work of art

D．should be restricted to places where it is allowed

【2】The author argues that graffiti ________.

A．is the only art form that is free

B．is best viewed on public walls rather than a canvas

C．provides more public benefits than sculptures do

D．should be judged on artistic qualities rather than places

【3】The author concludes his passage by ________.

A．restating his position

B．questioning the magazine

C．offering an answer to the matter

D．identifying the benefits of graffiti

28、This year, the Women's Volleyball World Cup has been played across different cities, and Team China had training sessions（时段）even on traveling days when some other teams chose to rest up after a tiring flight. "Coach Lang focuses on details of the technique（方法）in the training sessions, and I feel our team has become more balanced." Captain Zhu Ting said. This firm（坚定的）strategy explains how China managed to turn the table against the United States at the World Cup in 2014.

Never giving up, especially in adversity（逆境）, that's what the spirit of Chinese women's volleyball means.

When the team struggled, Zhu was always there, doing whatever was needed to carry the team forward. That's why she has become a national volleyball icon, just like "Iron Hammer" Lang. As for Lang, she took over the flag from her former coach Yuan Weimin, who was behind China's rise in the beginning. From coach Yuan to coach Lang, and spiker（主攻手）Lang to spiker Zhu, the flag bearers may have changed over time, but the craving for championships and the steely desire and determination remain the same.

Volleyball is a team sport and behind the on-court team, there is always a supportive coaching team and staff. Lai was one of the members, who was both vice director of China's Volleyball Management Center and assistant coach. Apart from coordinating work, she also has to do chores. During Rio 2016, return 16 Goah Yuan Lingxi headed for the arena （竞技场）at 6 am every day to film the matches and would return to the Olympic Village at 2 am to do other important things. There are many Lais and Yuans that are not known by the public, but who remain an important part for the team to overcome difficulties and reach their peak.

【1】What does the underlined expression "turn the table" mean?

A．Lose heart.

B．Fall apart.

C．Make a protest.

D．Gain an advantage in a weak position.

【2】What is the spirit of Chinese women's volley team?

A．Hard training.

B．Never quitting.

C．Working together.

D．Focusing on details

【3】Who plays an important role in the rise of the Chinese women's volleyball in the beginning?

A．Captain Zhu.

B．Coach Lang.

C．Yuan Weimin

D．Vice director Lai.

【4】What does the author intend to stress in the last paragraph?

A．Practice makes perfect.

B．The early bird catches the worm.

C．Great things may be done by mass effort.

D．A thousand- mile journey begins with the first step.

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。

“Hey!” the voice called from behind me. “Are you a girl or a duck？” I ignored the comments because I knew they were from the mean girl, Betsy. I ran to my class, causing my slight limp (跛行) to become even more apparent (明显). Already, I could see that things would be different here. At my old school, I had a group of friends to protect me. However, in this new school, I was on my own. I took my place in the first row of desks and I was thankful for alphabetic seating (按字母顺序排列座位). My last name came at the beginning of the alphabet and Betsy’s last name came at the end of it. As the weeks went on, though, I made friends with two girls named Fran and Lisa who sat near me in class. Whenever Betsy made one of her comments, they would wave it off and tell me to ignore her.

Still, I hated that I didn’t walk like everyone else. I didn’t like not being able to run as fast or as straight as the other kids and I didn’t like getting picked last for teams in gym class. Mostly, though, I really hated it when people like Betsy made negative comments about how I walked.

One day, our teacher asked us to change seats. “Class,” our teacher addressed us one morning, “you’ve been in the same seats for a full term and you’ve become friendly with the students around you. Now it’s time to change seats and make some new friends.” The class let out a collective moan (集体抱怨). As she assigned the new seating, Fran, Lisa and I looked at each other and waited for our names to be called. We didn’t want to be separated. And we especially didn’t want to sit anywhere near Betsy. Finally, Betsy sat directly behind me.

I knew this wasn’t going to be good and I soon discovered I was right. Betsy often leaned (倚靠)into my back, “Quack, quack!” When I ignored her, she kicked my seat. When that didn’t work, she poked (戳) me. This went on daily until one morning I simply refused to go to school. I told Mum what had happened at school.
