26、Kemira had just jumped in the shower when she heard her mother,Tammy, yelling. Kemira’s 12-day-old daughter was choking. Having fed baby Ryleigh just 30 minutes earlier, the 24-year-old new mother burst out of the bathroom and began patting (轻拍) her daughter on the back, but the baby didn’t make a sound. Kemira knew they needed to get to the hospital fast.

They had barely made it out of their neighborhood when the flashing lights of a police car appeared behind them. Officer Will Kimbro stopped the speeding driver. Tammy pulled over and jumped out of the car, crying that her granddaughter had stopped breathing. Desperate for help, Kemira handed her daughter to Kimbro. He found her heart was barely beating, and called an ambulance---it would take seven minutes, and the hospital was even further away. That was seven minutes Ryleigh didn’t have, because her lips had already become blue.

The fact that Kimbro was there was something of a miracle. He is a school police officer who usually spends his days patrolling (巡逻) the middle school ten miles away. But he travels further when school is out in the summer. Even luckier: He had recently completed a first-aid class.

Officer Kimbro gave the baby to Kemira to hold. He checked Ryleigh’s pulse and then began tapping and pressing her chest. Thanks to the class, Kimbro knew the choking baby didn’t have a chance if there was a blockage (堵塞物), and he used one finger to clear her throat. Twenty seconds later, Ryleigh began to cry. “If she’s crying like that, she’s breathing,” said Kimbro. Before the ambulance arrived, Kimbro continued giving first aid. The whole time he was thinking, “Don’t let this baby die in front of her mother and grandmother.”

At the hospital, Ryleigh recovered quickly, and she was brought back to life thanks to a determined school police officer who was in the right place at the right time.

【1】Why did Kimbro stop the car?

A．Kemira signaled to him for help.

B．Tammy drove faster than the legal limit.

C．There was a traffic jam in the neighborhood.

D．The baby had to be taken to hospital at once.

【2】What was Kemira’s reaction after being stopped?

A．She was too angry to explain herself.

B．She tried to do all she could to save her baby.

C．She got mad at Kimbro and gave up hope.

D．She lost her mind and didn’t know what to do.

【3】Kimbro felt sure that his aid worked when   ________.

A．he noticed Ryleigh’s lips were blue

B．he checked Ryleigh’s pulse

C．he pressed Ryleigh’s chest

D．he heard Ryleigh crying

【4】Which of the following words can best describe Kimbro?

A．Warm and lucky.

B．Brave and generous.

C．Kind and responsible.

D．Intelligent and skillful.

27、   Chen Lingyu, 28, is a saleswoman at a garment company in Wuhan, Central China’s Hubei province, and she was a volunteer driver in the fight against the novel coronavirus(新冠肺炎). She drove medical workers between their homes and hospitals every day.

She said she ate two meals a day, one in the morning, and another meal after finishing the day’s work. One day, she drove so many medical workers home, and she was so tired that she didn’t eat supper.

She said she lived by herself, and her parents lived with her grandparents. They supported her, saying she needed to be careful and used good protection measures.

28、

Recall(回忆) how you find a name in a telephone book? You don't read any more than necessary to find the name you look for. Notice that you go directly down a column of news. Maybe you use your finger to guide your eyes. This type of reading is usually called scanning. 【1】In scanning, you know what you are looking for. In skimming(略读) you don't.

Since you don't know exactly what you are looking for while skimming, prepare yourself by reading the title, source, author and picture. Then you question yourself-who, what, when, where is this likely to be mainly about?【2】Look for exact names of people, places, things, ideas, numbers and words like therefore, whenever, until, because and instead, to inform you of how and why.

【3】You will soon be able to discover important facts and strange vocabularies by this important step. And you even can find words that are clues to important relationships.

It's a good practice to skim everything in mass media after reading the title and first paragraph. You may get all the information you want. 【4】

Skim everything you intend to read before you make a final decision to read or study the material. Skim all highlights and develop a read-skim pattern for rapid review. 【5】 Reviewing frequently and rapidly is the best way to remember information from notes and long texts.

A.And don't miss this!

B.It is quite necessary to learn scanning.

C.Soon you will note new or unusual vocabularies.

D.This keeps your skimming skills from becoming worse.

E.Skimming is a step you should always take before you read any article.

F.With a questioning mind, you direct your eyes down the column of print.

G.Skimming uses the same type of skill in form but a different skill mentally.

29、Almost everyone has heard the expression “the calm before the storm.” It is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument.

British sailors coined the phrase in the late 1600s; they noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become still and the winds would drop.

Science has given us the reason. According to US website HowStuffWorks, a calm period occurs because many storms, tornadoes and hurricanes draw in all the warm and humid(湿热的) air from the surrounding area. As this air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts as “fuel for the storm, like petrol in a car”. Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level. As the air goes down, it becomes warm and dry. Warm and dry air is stable, so once it covers an area, it causes a calm period before the storm. This same process also causes the “eye of the storm” in hurricanes and tornadoes. In these conditions, the calm occurs in the center of the storm because of the strong rotating (旋转的) winds.

The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is. First count how many seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, roughly three seconds equal one kilometer. So, for example, if you count nine seconds, the storm is about three kilometers away. A good method is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away.

However, due to the complexity of storm system, not all storms take place after calm. Given the right conditions, some storms announce themselves with heavy rain and fierce winds.

So, your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area. That's the most reliable way to predict the next display(展示) of nature's temper (脾气).

【1】What is the function of Paragraph 3?

A．To describe how the eye of the storm comes into being.

B．To stress why tornadoes and hurricanes are destructive.

C．To explain why a peaceful period occurs before some storms.

D．To remind how dangerous a storm can be in certain situations.

【2】If you count fifteen seconds between a lightening flash and a thunder clap, the storm may be .

A．one kilometer away

B．three kilometers away

C．four kilometers away

D．five kilometers away

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A．Heavy storms don't usually last long.

B．It is not always quiet before a storm.

C．Storms have a big influence on our life.

D．Weather reports often fail to predict a storm.

【4】Where is this text most likely from?

A．A travel journal.

B．A science fiction.

C．A literature review.

D．A geography magazine.
