26、   While most 4-year-olds are making mud pies or selling lemonade, Austin Perine of Birmingham, Alabama decided to go one step further. Austin feeds the hungry and homeless population throughout the city in an effort to “show love” to those who need “food and smiles”. “Show love”,  according to Austin, has become his superhero motto. His superhero name? President Austin, of course.

Austin’s father, TJ Perine, told CNN that Austin has always been sympathetic (有同情心的), as he acts like a “little dad” for his brother, Taylor. However, it wasn't until Austin learned that people are experiencing homelessness that he decided to share what he has with the rest of his community. TJ noted that Austin’s first knowledge about homelessness came after watching a nature documentary (纪录片) about a baby panda on television.

“Austin and I were watching an animal show and there was a mother panda that was leaving her baby, ” TJ said. “Austin began to get concerned, and I told him that the baby panda would be homeless.”

To better teach his son about homelessness, TJ took the young boy to the city shelter, at which point Austin asked, “Can we feed them?” In response, TJ took Austin to Burger King where he enthusiastically volunteered to pay for the chicken sandwiches using his weekly pocket money, thereby giving up new toys that week.

Austin and his father have plans to expand their community outreach efforts so they can also fight homelessness at its roots. They have also started a GoFundMe as part of their Show Love Foundation.

“We've gotten a lot of support from the country, and what we want to do is expand and do from more than just giving out sandwiches, ” TJ told CNN, saying that, finally, he and Austin hope to build a service center that deals with the many causes and symptoms of homelessness. “Mental illness, drug abuse, addiction, and things like that,” he said. “Austin and I want to build a service center and get some specialists in there that can actually help these people get back to work.”

27、California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor.

The number of trees larger than two feet across has dropped by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.

Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. The wildfire control measures have left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).

But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.

The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt.

Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.

【1】What can we infer from the second paragraph?

A．The big-tree loss is serous in California.

B．The variety of California big trees is declining.

C．Only few areas suffer big –tree loss in California.

D．The loss of the big trees has no influence on California.

【2】Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?

A．Ecological studies of forests.

B．Banning woodcutting.

C．Limiting housing development.

D．Fire control measures.

【3】What is a major cause of the water shortage according to Melntyre?

A．the rainfall.

B．A longer dry season.

C．A warmer climate.

D．Dampness of the air.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．California’s Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?

B．Cutting of Big Trees to Be Forbidden in California Soon

C．Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?

D．Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California

28、Years ago, I could not stick to exercising until I bought a CD called I Enjoy Exercise. I listened to it every day. I bought the CD because I wanted to run in a race and hopefully win!

I had promised my 10-year-old son Todd that I would run in a race with him. Unfortunately, however, when that race came about, his left leg was hurt in a car accident. Without him running with me, although I took part in that race, yet I didn’t do quite well in it.

While Todd couldn’t run together with me because of his injury (受伤), he never forgot the promise I made for him. He was always asking me whether I would keep my promise when he recovered in the future. So I decided I was going to train and go all out to win the next race. What I needed was motivation (动力). It happened that one of my friends mentioned the CD which he liked very much, saying that he got a lot from the music in it when feeling down. So I bought it and listened to it while exercising every day.

It was amazing what happened to my thinking as I listened to it daily. I started to think about the repeated words on the CD — “I enjoy exercise”. Instead of dreading exercise, I was thinking, “I enjoy exercise.”

I found out how important words are that we play in our minds every day. I went from a person who seldom exercised to someone who started to exercise daily. Just think how our lives will improve if we reflect on the uplifting and motivating words of the famous works. I have found the positive messages have greatly improved my thinking and then changed my life.

How did I do in that race, you might be thinking? I actually won the gold medal in my age group.

【1】Why did the author take part in the race by herself?

A．She would like to win the race.

B．She had a good talent for running.

C．Her son got injured in a car accident.

D．Her son was unwilling to run with her.

【2】How did the author get the motivation for training?

A．By recalling some inspiring stories.

B．By listening to the CD while running.

C．By getting timely help from his friend.

D．By forcing herself into keeping running.

【3】What does the underlined word “dreading” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Fearing.

B．Improving.

C．Preferring.

D．Taking.

【4】What message does the author intend to deliver to us?

A．It’s important to avoid injury while running.

B．The motivating words make a difference to us.

C．Parents should get along well with children.

D．We can build up our bodies by regular exercise.

29、No one wants to look silly or do the wrong thing at a new job. It is important to make the right impression from the very first day. You will face new people. You will be in a new place. It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are five tips to help you make it through the first days at a new job:

1．First impressions can last forever. Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day, find out if your new job has a dress code (rules about what you can wear to work). If so, be sure to follow it. No matter what, always be neat and clean.

2．Get to work on time. Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.

3．Pay attention to introductions. One of the first things that your supervisor may do is to introduce you to co-workers. These co-workers will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss is not around.

4．Ask a lot of questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If he or she has not told you your duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for yourself.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完 整的短文。续写的词数应为80词左右。

As a sixth grader, I found it hard to fit in and make friends.

Our teacher had assigned (布置) “secret friends” for the coming week. She wrote each kid’s name on a piece of paper and threw them into a glass; then we each closed our eyes and picked out one. By the middle of the week, everyone had turned this assignment into a competition to see whose secret friend could leave the best gift. It seemed that everyone was getting cool presents from their friend except me.

On the last morning of our assignment, I walked into my classroom and noticed a package with a box of powder (胭脂粉). The girls sitting near me laughed at the gift I had received. What’s worse, the powder had already been opened.

I tried to forget about the embarrassing gift, but when I was in the bathroom during the break, the girls started speaking ill of my secret friend of giving it to me. I quickly joined in. “How terrible,” I heard myself saying, “What could my friend be thinking by giving me such a stupid gift? My grandmother wouldn’t even want it.” The girls laughed at my remarks (评论) and rushed out of the bathroom. I stayed to wash my hands and let water run through my fingers as I thought about what I had just said. It wasn’t normal like me to say mean (刻薄的) things like that about someone.

Then I saw my classmate Janet come out of a bathroom booth(厕所隔间), tears streaming down her face. She shouted at me with anger, “If you don’t want my gift, you can just leave it instead of laughing at it. This is the best powder from my mum!”

Hearing Janet’s words, I made up my mind to say sorry to her.
