26、   The amount of rubbish that piles on our shore lines is hugely worrying and a growing problem for the planet. It seems like no matter how remote you hike and how high you climb, there’s always a dropped plastic container there waiting for you.

Mariah Reading, an American artist, spends the majority of her time outdoors looking for inspiration for her art, based in nature and our natural surroundings. On noticing the amount of waste filling her natural areas, she decided she had to reflect it in her works.

For her latest project, Mariah is looking at both the problem of wasteful littering and the way that art itself can be wasteful in materials, taking the dropped items that fill her natural spaces and painting them to reflect the place in which they were left.

Applying paint to create her masterpieces, Mariah has collected trash (垃圾) from different mountains and parks. “I’ve been considering my relationship with art and the large amount of waste it can produce,” says Mariah. “I wanted to find ways I can confirm art and its important purpose by working with recycled materials found in landscape environments.”

“Since the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service, I’ve especially appreciated and been inspired by the natural beauty the parks offer, and found how easily we can take these precious places for granted. I seek to gather as much trash as possible, sculpt it into a canvas (画布), and paint the scene where the trash originated onto the trash itself,” says Mariah.

As well as through this project, Mariah has explored nature in her art in various different ways and through exhibitions. Mariah’s work might not solve the litter problem, but it’s just another way that we can get people talking about the problem and the ways we can prevent it from growing any larger.

【1】What gave Mariah the idea of the latest project?

A.The beauty of nearby scenery.

B.The rubbish-covered surroundings.

C.The potential security risks of beaches.

D.The high energy consumption of her artworks.

【2】What’s the important purpose of Mariah’s art?

A.To keep people from wasting natural resources.

B.To remind people of the litter problem.

C.To encourage people to explore parks.

D.To make full use of rubbish.

【3】What is special about Mariah’s new artworks?

A.They are made of oceanic rubbish.

B.They appear in the form of sculpture.

C.They reflect the trash places on trash itself.

D.They’re designed to inspire people’s love for painting.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A.The Growing Problem of Rubbish

B.Mariah Reading: a Sociable Artist

C.An Artist Turns Waste into Amazing Works

D.Celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the National Park Service

27、   There are millions of reasons to feel grateful. Acknowledge them all, big and small every day and you just may put yourself on the path to better health. Here’s how.

【1】 In a study by Emmons, a professor of psychology at the University of California, people who wrote down one thing that they were grateful for every day reported being 25 percent happier for a full six months after following this practice for just three weeks.

You get healthier. 【2】 They keep away from harmful behaviors, like smoking and drinking too much alcohol. They exercise, on average, 33 percent more and sleep extra 30 minutes a night.

【3】 The research finds that those who feel more appreciated by their partners are more likely to appreciate their partners in return and to stay in the relationship nine months later. Gratitude can help their brains appreciate the things in their relationships that are going well. It can also calm down the nervous system and prevent them from being angry.

You’ll be a nicer person. People can’t help but pay gratitude forward. When you express gratitude toward a colleague or a friend, he or she feels grateful in return, and the back-and-forth continues. 【4】 So they want to continue doing them, not only for you but also for others.

You’ll be more optimistic. When we notice kindness and other gifts we’ve benefited from, our brains become wired to seek out the positives in any situation, even terrible ones. 【5】 “A grateful attitude toward life is relatively immune to both fortune and misfortune,” says Emmons.

A.You’ll feel more delighted.

B.You’ll be appreciated more.

C.You’ll improve your relationship.

D.As a result, we’re better at getting over loss and failure.

E.The better your body functions, the more energetic you feel.

F.Experts believe that grateful people tend to appreciate their health more than others do.

G.What’s more, your expression makes them feel good about the kind acts that they’ve done.

28、   It's natural to think about what goes into producing the food in your daily lunch bag. But have you ever stopped to consider the production techniques behind the bag itself? At the center of it is a woman named Margaret Knight.

From her earliest years, Knight was a restless creator. In the article titled " The Evolution of the Grocery Bag", its writer mentions a few of her childhood projects. She was “famous for her kites", and "her sleds were the envy of the town’s boys.”

To support her mother, she took a job at a cotton factory when she was 12. That same year she invented a shuttle system which helped to prevent injury. At the time, she had no concept of patenting(得到……的专利权) her idea. What strengthened her place in history was her working experience at the Columbia Paper Bag Company. Here, instead of folding every paper bag by hand, Knight wondered if she might be able to make them cleanly and rapidly via an automated machine. The result was a working model of her elegant paper-folding machine. But this time: she wanted to go to the extra step and secure a patent on her creation, a brave move for a woman in the 19th century, when an extremely small percentage of patents were held by women.

Not only did Knight file for a patent, she bravely defended her owner ship of the bag machine idea. A man named Charles Annan said the creation was his own, arguing no woman could be able to design such a machine. Knight fought a legal battle against him and handed Anna a courtroom(法庭)defeat by presenting her detailed hand-drawn blueprints. Finally，Knight received her rightful patent in 1871.

After making the machine, she continued to invent many other things like a paper feeding machine and a skirt protector. Knight, at the age of seventy, worked twenty hours a day on 89th invention.

【1】Why does the writer mention Knight's childhood projects?

A.To introduce a book to reader

B.To tell us young Knight liked sports.

C.To show Knight was envied by other girls

D.To show Knight was creative as a child

【2】Which words can best describe Knight?

A.Intelligent and generous.

B.Courageous and hardworking

C.Considerate and optimistic

D.Independent and determined.

【3】What do we know about the paper folding machine?

A.It turned to be slower but safer

B.It was co invented by Knight and Annan

C.It proved Knight's position as an inventor.

D.It was the first machine to be patented by a woman

【4】How is the text mainly developed?

A.By following the order of time

B.By making some comments.

C.By making a comparison

D.By listing examples

My daughter

(A story told by a father, a famous actor)

My wife and I only had the one child. We had Amy.

I see her as my best friend. I think she’d always come to me first if she had a problem. We have the same sense of humor, and share interests. 【1】 I don’t mind animals, she’s completely fascinated with them, and she has always had dogs, cats, horses, and goldfish in her life.

We were 【2】 (close) when she was about four, which I think is a lovely age for a child. They know the parents best, and don’t have outside contacts. She must have grown up suddenly when she went to school, because I remember her growing away from her family slightly. Any father who has a teenager daughter comes across an extraordinary collection of people, and there seemed to be an endless stream of strange young men 【3】 (come) through our house. By the time I learned their names they 【4】 (go) away and I had to start learning a new lot.

I wanted more than anything else for her to be happy in 【5】 she was doing, and I was prepared to pull strings to help her on her way. When she left a good school she decided she wanted to become an actress so I got her into drama school. It wasn’t to her liking so she joined a theatre group and began doing bits and pieces in films. She was doing well, but then gave it up. She probably found it boring. Then she took up social work, and finally went to work 【6】a designer and he became her husband. And that’s really the story of her life. She must be happy with him—they’re always together.

We have such similar tastes in books and music 【7】 I used to take her to see an opera, which is my big passion. However, I don’t think she likes it very much. She doesn’t come with me anymore.

I don’t think she’s a big television watcher. She knows when I’m on the television, and she 【8】 watch, but I don’t know. It’s not the kind of thing she tells me.

We’re very grateful for Amy. She’s a good daughter as daughters go. We’re looking forward to being grandparents.

40、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

These days, football is one of the most popular sports in the world. Given that Neil Armstrong wanted to take a football to the Moon, we could even say that it is also the most popular sport out of this world! The history of the game goes back over two thousand years to Ancient China. It was then known as cuju(kick ball), a game using a ball of animal skins with hair inside. Goals were hung in the air. Football as we know it today started in Great Britain, where the game was given new rules.

That football is such a simple game to play is perhaps the basis of its popularity. It is also a game that is very cheap to play. You don't need expensive equipment; even the ball doesn't have to cost much money. All over the world you can see kids playing to their hearts 'content with a ball made of plastic bags; just like Pele did when he was a boy.

Another factor behind football's global popularity is the creativity and excitement on the field. It is fun enough to attract millions of people. You do not have to be a fan to recognize the skill of professional player-how they use their bodies to pass, score and defend can be amazing to see-or to feel the excitement of a game ending with a surprising twist.

What's more, football has become one of the best ways for people to communicate: it does not require words, but everyone understands it. It breaks down walls and brings people together on and off the field. Take, for example, the famous football game on Christmas Day 1914. World War I had broken out months before, but British and German soldiers put down their guns and played football together-one moment of peace to remember during years of conflict.

“Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, ...... “said Bill Shankly, the famous footballer and manager. “I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.” This might sound funny, but one only has to think about the Earth to realize that our planet is shaped like a football.
