26、   Ahead of the summer travel season , airlines in the United States usually compete to sell tickets and fill seats. But the airlines that operate the grounded Boeing 737 Max planes have a new problem : there are not enough seats to meet the demand .

The revenue(收益)is right in front of them . They can see it , but they can’t meet it , said Mike Trevino. He is an airline industry expert for Southwest Airlines Pilots Association .

The grounding of Boeing’s 737 Max came after two deadly crashes in five months . Southwest Airlines is the world’s largest 737 Max operator. The company has 34 of the planes .

American Airlines operates the second-most, with 24. These planes have been removed from use until at least August, The grounding of the planes has led Southwest to cancel 160 of its 4,200 daily flights between June 8 and August 5.

American Airlines will cancel 115 daily flights, or 1.5 percent of its total summer flights . Southwest only flies Boeing 737s. It had estimated $ 150 million in lost revenue between February 20 and March 31 --- mostly because of MAX cancellations .

The 737 Max was grounded worldwide in March following a deadly Ethiopian Airlines crash . It came five months after a Lion Air crash in Indonesia. All on board both planes died .

Boeing is under pressure to provide additional software. Experts are examining the original software as a possible reason for the crashes .

Boeing must prove to worldwide regulators that the plane is safe to fly. That process may take more than 90 days. Planes in the United States are usually mostly full during the months of June , July and August .

【1】It can be inferred from the second paragraph that__________.

A. the competition among the airlines is becoming more and more fierce

B. Boeing needs some time to prove to the world that their 737 Max planes are safe

C. after the two deadly crashes, more and more have decided not to travel by air

D. Southwest Airlines suffers the most in revenue

【2】What is the total number of the daily flights of American Airlines in summer?

A. About 4,200. B. About 115. C. About 160. D. About 7,600.

【3】What is it that possibly led to the two deadly crashes according to experts?

A. The terrible management of the airlines.

B. The inexperience of the pilots.

C. A bug in the operating system.

D. The pressure from Boeing.

【4】What will be probably discussed in the next paragraph?

A. some ways to fill the seats

B. how to earn enough with each seat

C. how long the problem will last

D. how to deal with the increasing cost

27、   When temperatures rise, many people swim to beat the heat. But swimming does a lot more than that. It is a great workout for the whole body. Health experts at the University of California, Berkeley state that swimming is a great way to stay in shape.

Swimming is a very good high-intensity cardio exercise (高度有氧运动). Cardio involves the heart, lungs, and circulatory(血液循环的) system. The Berkeley experts say swimming can increase your heart rate and exercise your lungs. Some high-intensity cardio exercises, such as running, can improve your health but can also be likely to hurt your body. Swimming, on the other hand,   is beneficial to the body and people often use it to recover from injuries.

Paul Waas, a coach and former competitive swimmer, says that swimming is more beneficial to the body than other sports because it is low-impact. A mother called Paloma with two daughters says that for her girls, swimming has been more beneficial to the body than some other sports. She said, “So far, I think it’s been good for their bodies. It’s a high-intensity cardio exercise, as you know. But it spares their knees, their joints, and so on. So it’s rare to get injured in swimming.”

The coach adds that swimming is a great exercise for kids who grow a lot in a short amount of time. Coach Waas said, “Swimming is really good for kids who are growing fast. Their bones might be hurting and they’re suffering from serious pain all the time. And then they get in the pool and, you know, they can float and stretch out a little bit and it reduces that as well.”

People who are overweight can also find relief through swimming. Their weightlessness in the water can help them to avoid injury as they exercise.

【1】According to Paragraph 2,swimming is better than running because

A.it’s a bit easier to do B.it’s better and safer for our bodies

C.it makes people feel more comfortable D.it increases our heart rates more slowly

【2】What’s Paul Waas’s attitude towards swimming?

A.Positive. B.Negative. C.Doubtful D.Worried

【3】What does the underlined word that in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A.Floating and stretching out. B.Fast physical growth of kids.

C.Swimming in a swimming pool. D.The pain caused by kids’ physical growth.

28、   During summer days, warmer temperatures bring pests like mosquitoes. Mosquitoes can cause lots of trouble for people.【1】. They even can spread many serious diseases.

An easy way to protect yourself against mosquitoes is using repellents (驱虫剂). Joseph Conlon, an advisor of the American Mosquito Control Association, recommends using repellents that are registered with the Environmental Protection Agency, which ensures that they actually do no harm to humans. 【2】. But some repellents can provide 4-6 hours of protection if the quality of them is excellent.

Mosquitoes are also very weak. A slight wind from a fan can help keep them away from you. It turns out that many mosquitoes are not very good fliers. 【3】.

Another way is to clear all the standing water (积水) every five days. Conlon explains that mosquitoes can produce young in water collected in areas as small as bottle caps. But they have a limited flight range, which means they can’t travel far. “The best way to avoid them is to not have them around in the first place.” he says. If you’ve got them in your backyard, it’s because you’re raising them in your backyard. 【4】. “If you can’t avoid the standing water around your house, I suggest raising fish that will eat mosquito larvae (幼虫).”

【5】. They’ve experimented with male mosquitoes containing some materials that stop females from producing larvae. “There are not a lot of companies producing new chemicals or treatments that we can use,” a researcher of the experiment adds. “We need new technologies and products to get rid of mosquitoes.”

A.They usually provide two hours of protection.

B.Do remember to keep children away from them.

C.So try to make sure your house doesn’t have standing water.

D.You can wear protective clothing and keep your windows closed.

E.You can set up a fan in your house so that mosquitoes can’t bite you.

F.Many people hardly sleep well at night with mosquitoes flying around.

G.The researchers also try to find high-tech solutions to mosquito population.

29、Perhaps you’ve heard the old saying “curiosity killed the cat.” It’s a phrase that’s often used to warn people—especially children—not to ask too many questions. 【1】 In fact, research has shown that curiosity is just as important as intelligence in determining how well students do in school.

Curiosity can also lead us to make unexpected discoveries, bring excitement into our lives, and open up new possibilities. 【2】 For example, one day in 1831, Michael Faraday was playing around with a coil(线圈) and a magnet(磁铁) when he suddenly saw how he could produce an electrical current. At first, it wasn’t clear what use this would have, but it actually made electricity available for use in technology, and so changed the world.

【3】On one level, this is because technology has become so advanced that many of us are unable to think too deeply about how exactly things work anymore. While it may be possible for a curious teenager to take a toaster apart and get some sense of how it works, how much do you understand about what happens when you type a website address into a browser? Where does your grasp of technology end and the magic begin for you?

In addition to this, there’s the fact that we all now connect so deeply with technology, particularly with our phones. The more we stare at our screens, the less we talk to other people directly. 【4】Then we feel we know enough about a person not to need to engage further with them.

The final—and perhaps most worrying—way in which technology stops us from asking more has to do with algorithms, the processes followed by computers. As we increasingly get our news via social media, algorithms find out what we like and push more of the same back to us. 【5】Perhaps the real key to developing curiosity in the 21st century, then, is to rely less on the tech tools of our age.

A．It is still not known why learning gives us such pleasure.

B．We are always encouraged to challenge our pre-existing beliefs.

C．Yet it’s widely agreed that curiosity actually makes learning more effective.

D．All too often we accept the images of people that social media provides us with.

E．However, curiosity is currently under the biggest threat, coming from technology.

F．In science, basic curiosity-driven research can have unexpected important benefits.

G．That means we end up inside our own little bubbles, no longer coming across new ideas.

30、   Yesterday, our teacher asked us when a man could be referred to as an old man. David stood up and said people with wrinkles could be called old people. However, Mary didn’t _________ for some people may gain wrinkles at an earlier age owing to their tough life. Then Lily expressed her idea that those reaching their 60s or more could be called old people. However, Emily expressed her _________ and said some old people may still be energetic and trying to pursue their dreams, which makes them appear young. The class was over and we still didn’t reach any _________, so the teacher asked us to think about it after class.

The question has reminded me of the saying of J. Barrymore that a man isn’t old as long as he is _________ something.

My grandma is such a woman who pursues her dream _________ when she’s 70 now. She has _________ her dream of being a painter since she was a little child. _________, because her family was poor, she had to _________ her dream and stepped into the _________ to raise money so as to support her family. Though she has __________ abandoned her dream, she could hardly find any time to realize it because of the tough work. __________, chance came when she retired from her work. She began taking her painting lessons __________ she had all-white hair and lots of wrinkles. At first, I was __________ her idea of attending school at so old an age, but after seeing her paint happily and enjoyably, I began feeling it a good choice. She seems __________ and looks fine.

So if we have our dreams and seek for them, we aren’t old. It’s when we don’t know what we want and let __________ be the center point of our lives that we can finally be regarded as the old.

32、阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写, 使之构成一个完整的故事。

Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!”

“No,” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into mischief(trouble). Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me. ”

“You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.

But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together.

Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.

A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.
