26、Daverius Peters almost couldn’t graduate because of the shoes he was wearing. Peters was wearing a pair of black sneakers with white soles. A school employee at the door told him the shoes he had on weren’t allowed and wouldn’t let him inside. “They are black and white. They said you have to wear black-colored or dark-colored shoes. She closed the door. She just closed it on my face.” Peters said.
The 18-year-old student said he was pacing outside when he saw teacher John Butler and told him what happened. “This is the biggest moment of your life up to this point and nobody is going to take that away from you.” said Butler, “It was just a no-brainer for me to just take my shoes off and give them to him.” But they were big shoes to fill for Peters.
“Well, his shoes are two sizes bigger,” said Peters. “I wear a 9, he wears an 11, so they felt like slippers. I was asking him, your daughter is graduating also with me, how are you going to watch her? He said I’m walking in with no shoes.” The two went inside and Peters was able to graduate.
People are praising Butler for stepping in to help, but he says it was nothing. “Be kind to one another, be thoughtful, and try to understand where other people are coming from. I just try my best to be the best human that I can possibly be for my kids. And I try to lead by example every day,” Butler said.

27、How do we learn a language? Suzanne Graham, Professor of Language and Education at the University of Reading, investigates how learners make sense of what they read or hear in a foreign language and how teachers can support their learning. Before she began this work, she studied French, German, Latin and Russian herself and became a language teacher, which sparked her curiosity in the process of language learning.
Early in her academic career, Professor Graham analysed motivation levels among several hundred 16-to-19-year-olds who were learning French. Her study provided evidence of a relationship between students’ understanding of how to improve their learning, their confidence in their own ability, and their motivation to continue language study.
Professor Graham went on to explore ways to improve strategies for learning French listening skills. She also examined how secondary school teachers thought about second-language listening, and how they taught it to Key Stage 3 (11-14 years old) pupils. Professor Graham embedded(把…嵌入) the outcomes of this research in a set of Principles for Practice, which she developed, along with supporting materials and tools. These are now helping teachers learn how to develop students’ listening skills in a more effective, research-informed way.
Now, Professor Graham is leading the Language Learning strand of the Creative Multilingualism research programme, a large project involving several universities and partner organizations. Her own research for the programme is on Linguistic Creativity in Language Learning. It focuses on the development of literacy skills in foreign languages and learners’ motivation for and conceptions of language learning. For example, do people learn better when asked to give creative, personal and emotional responses than when they simply concentrate on grammar and vocabulary? Does this kind of teaching change learners’ levels of creativity? This ambitious project will, she says, help us to gain a better understanding of the creative dimension of linguistic (语言学的) diversity and the contribution it makes to our creative potential as human beings.

A.She is good at understanding what she reads.
B.She has a gift for teaching foreign languages.
C.She is very experienced in supporting her students’learning.
D.She has a strong interest in the process of language learning.

28、 My daughters are lovely and attractive. The 4-year-old has big blue eyes and always wears a smile. The 7-year-old’s long strawberry blond hair and sweet smile are already turning the boys’ heads. I love everything about these girls, and they know it.
But I try not to tell them they’re beautiful. My young daughters are totally innocent when it comes to the pressures of being a woman in our society. They know nothing about plastic surgery, diets, “feeling fat” models or eating disorders. We adults know all too much about such things and in the face of this distorted reality we tend to start telling our girls, as soon and often as possible, how beautiful they are.
I know this is wonderfully well-intentioned, and that we want to raise our girls’ confidence from the very start. Here’s the thing, though. We might think we’re building our daughters up by telling them that they are beautiful to us no matter what, but what we’re also doing is bringing the beauty pressure home to our littlest girls. The more I talk about beauty and looks, even in a positive way, the more I’ m conveying the importance of those things.
However, it doesn’t mean I don’t praise my girls. Instead of saying “You look beautiful!” I might say the more specific “Don’t you look fancy today!” or “Those colors go so well together.” It means that I treat my daughters not as my little dolls, but as real people who are developing their own sense of self and style. It means that they are in charge of how they look.
Naturally, I buy most of my girls’ clothes. But I don’t usually manage their outfit choices. My daughters can go girly with necklaces, or they can choose to give up dresses altogether. Of course we’ve seen some mismatching, but they own those styles. They never ask if they look pretty, and they walk with an easy confidence that has nothing to do with what I or anyone else will say about how they look. And that’s the spirit I want them to take into their teens and adulthood.
【1】What do the author’s two daughters have in common?
A.Both like to smile. B.Both have blond hair.
C.Both like strawberries. D.Both have big blue eyes.
【2】Why is the author unwilling to tell her girls that they are beautiful?
A.She expects them to face reality. B.She wants them to find it themselves.
C.She doesn’t want them to focus on looks. D.She doesn’t think they can understand it.
【3】How does the author treat her daughters?
A.She avoids praising them. B.She treats them as her little dolls.
C.She is particular about their clothes. D.She pays attention to their unique styles.
【4】What can be learned about the author’s daughters?
A.They are highly dependent. B.They are really confident.
C.They tend to take advice from their mother. D.They have a good taste in dressing themselves.
29、Swimming in the water of Hawaii’s Big Island is a fun experience. But it can be more exciting if there are dolphins swimming around and jumping out of the sea too. For many people, it would be a wonderful dream to swim with these lovely animals! However, this may not be good for dolphins. They may get hurt because of human interaction (互动).
Dolphins are active and usually look for food at night. In the day, they like to rest in shallow bays (浅湾). Many people think the dolphins are awake during the day as they swim. But when they sleep they rest half of their brain and keep the other half awake to breathe, so they may be sleeping even when they’re swimming in the water.
From 2010 to 2013, spinner dolphins (飞旋海豚) of Hawaii’s Big Island were exposed to human activities more than 82 percent of the time, according to Julian Tyne, a researcher at Australia’s Murdoch University.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says disturbing the animals in their near-shore habitat could force them to swim to less favourable places, putting them at risk of being attacked by sharks and other animals.
Besides, when people are around, dolphins become more active. Thus, they can’t get enough sleep. “Disturbing their resting behaviours can actually affect their long-term health and the health of the dolphin population,” Ann Garrett of NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service told the Associated Press.
As a result, the NOAA wants to make rules to help protect the dolphins. For example, the agency (机构) may ban swimming with the Hawaii spinner dolphins. Or they may stop people from swimming in shallow bays when the dolphins are resting. Tour operators must also be taught to watch for signs to know when the dolphins are in their resting state.
【1】Which of the following about dolphins is NOT true?
A.They spend most of their time sleeping at night.
B.They like to stay in shallow bays during the day.
C.They keep half of their brain awake while sleeping.
D.They may be sleeping even when they’re swimming.
【2】What would they do when dolphins are disturbed in their near-shore habitat?
A.Swim to a crowded place.
B.Move closer to sharks.
C.Become less active.
D.Likely sleep longer.
【3】Which activity is against the rules?
A.Swimming with the Hawaii spinner dolphins.
B.Swimming in bays where the dolphins live.
C.Making signs that show the dolphins’ resting state.
D.Making signs that show where the dolphins are.
【4】What does the article mainly talk about?
A.What habits dolphins have.
B.What spinner dolphins are.
C.How the animals live in the sea.
D.How to protect dolphins near the shore.

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。
My baby Reese started screaming as we watched my eight-year-old kick and hit while he was tested for his longing-for black belt. I struggled to hold him in my arms as we pushed our way through the crowd to the side of the taekwondo (跆拳道) studio.
I looked up, and that’s when I saw it. There was a woman on a flyer with a bright white smile surrounded by her daughters. “OUR MOM NEEDS A KIDNEY (肾脏),” it said above the photo. “My name is Vonchelle Knight, and I have kidney disease. I am a single mother of two girls and have been on the transplant waitlist for eight years,” it said below.
As I continued to read, I was attracted. My eyes couldn’t get to the next word fast enough. My eyes were filled with tears as I thought about how desperately this mother needed a kidney. And that’s when I felt deep in my gut, “It’s me. I’m going to be her donor.” In the middle of that busy taekwondo studio, I was called on to donate my kidney to a woman whom I had never met.
The drive home was not a typical Saturday kind of drive home. I trembled at the thought of speaking aloud what I was so convinced of just moments before. I glanced over at my husband who was driving.
“Hey, babe?” I asked nervously. “I need to tell you something.”
He looked at me, unsure and a little afraid of what might come out of my mouth next. After all, I do like to keep him on his toes. “Yeah, what is it?” he asked intently.
“I think I want to donate my kidney to a stranger.”
I thought he might drive right off the road. By the look on his face, he clearly thought I had lost my mind, I was a busy mom of two boys, working a full-time job as a sales account manage.
