26、 Barcelona’s opera house has celebrated its reopening to the public since the coronavirus pandemic put the world into a huge horror, but their opening night had an unusual audience. For its first concert, the theater refused the usual crowd of people and instead packed the house with plants. Yes, that's correct. All 2, 292 seats at the GranTeatre Liceu were occupied by green plants.
The idea was conceived by an artist Eugenio Ampudia and was broadcast live on the theater’s website. These lucky ficus trees, palms, and Swiss cheese plants — which were brought in by local nurseries (苗圃) — got the pleasure of hearing Puccini’s Crisantemi performed by the UceLi Quartet string musical group.
Ampudia hopes that his idea and the work will inspire people to think more deeply about their relationship with nature and the idea of sustainability. “We are at the end of an era and that means that we have to change certain patterns,” he shares. “We don’t live in the same world as 90 days ago, and this means we have to reflect on everything that we do.”
As plants can respond to different vibrations caused by music, they certainly weren’t a passive audience — even if they weren’t able to give applause. Now that the concert is over, each plant will be given to a different frontline healthcare worker who helped guide the country through its battle with the coronavirus.
The moving concert is a continuation of the Liceu’s mission to create a dialogue between music and the visual arts. Pictures and a video of the performance taken by Ampudia will now become part of La Caixacon temporary art collection.
【1】What was the special part of the concert?
A.It had only 2, 292 seats. B.It made the world fall in horror.
C.It welcomed audience with plants to come. D.It gave plants opportunities to enjoy music.
【2】What does the underlined word “conceived” mean in the second paragraph?
A.Hated. B.Enjoyed. C.Put forward. D.Turned down.
【3】Which statement may Eugenio Ampudia agree with?
A.We didn’t do very well in dealing with nature. B.The healthcare workers were more important.
C.The plants should have the equal rights. D.We did everything in a wrong way.
【4】In which column of a magazine can this text be read?
A.Daily Hero. B.Teens’ Life.
C.New Technology. D.Art Around the World.
27、We've got to do a better job of stopping global warming, a new report says.
The report, released Wednesday by the United Nations, says the world isn't doing nearly enough to control fossil fuel production to the level that's needed to stop "catastrophic" levels of global warming, pointing fingers at both developed countries and developing countries.
However, developing countries currently cannot sustain (维持) themselves, let alone grow, without relying heavily on fossil fuels. To them, fossil fuels are still the cheapest, most reliable energy resources available. India, for example, is home to one-third of the world's 1. 2 billion citizens living in poverty. That's 400 million people in one country without sufficient food or shelter. India hopes to shift to renewable energy as its economy grows, but the investment needed to meet its renewable energy goals “is over ten times the country's annual spending on agriculture and infrastructure (基础设施).” Unless something changes, developing countries like India cannot fight climate change.
Yet the weather changes and consequences of global warming, like tons of droughts and poverty are already impacting economic growth in many countries. Is there a solution?
According to a World Bank report, “poor and middle-income countries account for just over half of total carbon emissions.” And this percentage will only rise as developing countries grow. In Sub-Sabaran Africa, the number of people living in poverty increased by 98% in the thirty years, while carbon dioxide on average decreased by 17%. Given the current energy situation, if sub-Saharan Africans are to escape extreme poverty, they will have to increase their carbon use unless developed countries step in to offer clean alternatives and financial aid.
After all, global warming is, by definition, a global crisis. Reducing this threat will require global cooperation and global solutions.
【1】What does the writer want to convey in paragraph three?
A.India has difficulty in feeding itself.
B.India has the largest number of poverty.
C.India cannot afford to develop clean energy.
D.India relies heavier on fossil fuels than USA
【2】What will happen to developing countries without foreign aid?
A.They'll be rid of extreme poverty.
B.They'll stop developing economy.
C.They'll care much for carbon emissions.
D.They'll pursue economic growth at heavy cost.
【3】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Poverty is the root of global warming.
B.Huge gap does exist between countries.
C.Developing countries cannot afford global warming.
D.Global warming demands global effort and solutions.
【4】What may be talked about in the following paragraphs?
A.Conflicts between countries.
B.Ways of global cooperation.
C.Potential crises on the earth.
D.The importance of clean alternatives.
28、Chen Wei, a high school student, was having dinner when he heard someone screaming from another table. A fellow diner, Zhang Tao, was choking on something. He was holding his throat with his face turning red, while his desperate friends were slapping him on the back. Chen wasted no time. He rushed to Zhang’s table at once. With the help of Zhang’s friends, he was able to help Zhang to his feet. Then, standing behind Zhang, Chen did the Heimlich manoeuvre. The food was instantly forced out, and Zhang began to breathe again.
Choking victims usually have only about four minutes before they collapse (崩溃) and sometimes die, leaving no time for an ambulance to arrive. To solve this problem, in 1974, an American doctor, Henry Heimlich, created the Heimlich manoeuvre, saving thousands of lives around the world. Doing the Heimlich manoeuvre is quick, practical, and easy. It is so easy, in fact, that almost anyone can lean how.
If you see someone choking, first call the emergency services. Then, make sure the victim is really choking: A choking person cannot speak. Slapping the victim’s back will often force out the obstruction. If this does not work, you can perform the Heimlich manoeuvre by standing behind him and wrapping your arms around his waist. Make a fist with one hand and place it in the upper part of his stomach. Grabbing your fist with your other hand tightly, push up and into his stomach in one motion. Continue doing this until the obstruction is forced out.
With choking victims, every minute counts. You can’t just sit there and do nothing. Luckily, Chen had learnt how to give first aid in school. Seeing Zhang choking, he remained calm and reacted immediately. Chen later said about the incident, “How could I justify sitting there and doing nothing? We are all humans, and we all have a responsibility to look after one another’s welfare”.
【1】What is the Heimlich manoeuvre?
A.An American doctor.
B.A choking victim.
C.An emergency situation.
D.A first aid method.
【2】Why is choking such a serious condition?
A.Millions of people die of it every year.
B.Most of the victims are young children.
C.It is minutes before a victim falls down or dies.
D.There are no effective ways to save victims from it.
【3】Which action does the Heimlich manoeuvre NOT include?
A.To make a fist with one hand.
B.To hold the victim’s throat with one hand.
C.To grab your fist with the other hand tightly.
D.To stand behind the victim who is really choking.
【4】Which word can describe the quality of Chen Wei?
A.Ambitious.
B.Cooperative.
C.Responsible.
D.Optimistic.

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。
“What will we be singing for contest this year?” a student from my high school choir asked eagerly.
I dreaded (害怕) this moment. “I was thinking,” I said, “maybe we’ll skip the contest and just work hard on the concerts this year.”
“NO!” the kids protested.
“We’ve got to go to contest!”
“In Class A.”
“It’s tradition!”
This was true. Medals lined the front wall of the music room from the past successes of large, talented classes. But a swing in educational policies, with an emphasis on academics, had reduced my choir to a me re thirty-two students. My section leaders had graduated or been forced to drop music classes, leaving me with young, inexperienced kids who couldn’t read music, couldn’t hold their parts, and could sing only a simple melody.
“Maybe we could enter Class B this year,” I suggested, knowing even that would be a near-impossible mission.
“No!” the kids screamed. “Class A!”
I shook my head, hoping their enthusiasm would die off in a couple of weeks.
Finally one morning I entered the classroom. “Look at the clock!” I demanded. “We’ve wasted two full minutes because some of you don’t have your music ready. If we are entering the contest in Class A…” The rest of my sentence was lost in screams of delight and applause.
“From now on,” I continued when the noise faded away, “you will find the day’s lesson plan on the board. Be in your seats with your music folders on the desk when the bell rings and sit at attention, ready for warm-ups the instant I’m ready to begin. When I’m working with one section, there will be no talking from the others. You will listen, and you will learn. You will work harder than you’ve ever worked in any class before. And if one of these rules is broken, we will not go to the contest. Does everyone agree to this?”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150词左右;

I was certain they would fail to keep this contract.
