26、Shark attacks in the screen are amazing.That’s because your actual chances of ever being attacked by a shark are mere one in 11.5 million.That’s roughly the same as your chances of winning an Oscar,which makes shark attack survivor, Mike Coots both incredibly unlucky and lucky:When Mike was 18,he lost his leg to a shark bite.

“I was attacked by a tiger shark in late October1997.It was near my home on the island of Kauai—atypical fall morning with friends. The waves were really good, so nothing was stopping us.”That is until a large shark came right up under Mike and sank his teeth into Mike’s lower leg.As he tried to free himself, the shark bit down harder, shaking its head back and forth and tossing Mike around like a rag doll. Mike followed his instinct: He struck the shark in the face, again and again until the shark released him. As Mike swam back into shore, he realized his lower right leg was gone.Mike’s friends rushed to his aid, and sent him to the hospital.

As soon as Mike was well,he did what many of us might consider unthinkable: he started riding the waves again.In fact,his first timeback was near the site of his attack.But Mike was unshaken.Instead, he was curious—why was he attacked?His curiosity led him to research sharks, and Mike did learn something that would change his life: Humans are far more dangerous to sharks than theother way around.

His situation as a shark survivor empowered him to give sharks a voice,Mike says. He began working with the Hawaii state authorities to help pass a ban (禁令) on shark-derived products. “I partnered with other like-minded shark attack survivors and marine biologists, and we headed to Washington to urge (极力主张)senators to create a nationwide bill protecting sharks.”

27、Have you ever wanted to travel in space? In a way you already do, because you live on Earth, and Earth is a planet floating in space.【1】 They are a whole family of planets that scientists call our solar system.

The word “solar” means “having to do with the Sun”.The planets in our solar system all circle the Sun in paths called orbits.【2】 It doesn't take them as long to travel around the Sun.Planets farther from the Sun have longer orbits.It takes Earth about 365 days—one year—to travel around the Sun.

【3】 They all spin, or rotate.It takes Earth 24 hours, or one day, to spin around one time.As Earth spins, the parts that face the Sun are lit up—it is daytime there.The parts that face away from the Sun are dark－it is nighttime.

If you could visit the other planets, you would find some strange and surprising worlds.Some are dry and rocky, while others are balls of swirling gases with solid centers.Some planets are much hotter than Earth－so hot that nothing can live there.【4】 Other planets are far away from the Sun.They are very, very cold—colder than any place on Earth.

28、   The past year has been full of tragedies and tears, but we still have music—which can both reflect the times and lift us up when we're down. We picked three songs from Time magazine's Top 10 Best Songs of 2020.

People I've Been Sad

“If you fall apart, then I'm falling behind you/ You know the feeling/ You know the feeling.” These words were written by Heloise Letissier as she grieved the death of her mother. A lot of people resonated with (和...产生共鸣) the lyrics in this troubling year. “It's a principle of acceptance of common suffering and of making peace with tragedy — and her open voice makes it nearly impossible not to hum along.” Time wrote.

WAP

WAP is a hip-hop song by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion. It was Cardi B's fourth No.1 hit on Billboard's Hot 100 in the Us.

“As a track, WAP is simple yet effective: a juicy bassline (低音声线)... of Cardi and Megan trading verses (歌曲的段落), with barely a break to catch a breath. It is infectious.” Time wrote.

Think About Things

This Icelandic pop song became popular on social media after a special quarantine (隔离) dance challenge set to the song spread rapidly.

“The song showcases parental love with a modern twist，making the song instantly palatable and attractive regardless of the song's meaning.” Maggie McHale wrote on At Wood Magazine.

【1】When did Heloise Letissier write the lyrics of People I've Been Sad?

A．After her mother's death.

B．Before the troubling year 2020.

C．During the period of her quarantine.

D．When accepting the common suffering.

【2】What makes the song Think About Things attractive?

A．The speed of spreading.

B．A special dance challenge.

C．The parental love it shows.

D．The meaning of the song.

【3】What is the similarity among the three songs?

A．They are all hip-hop.

B．They can cheer us up.

C．They are all from Time.

D．They all show sad feelings.

29、   It seems that society has placed so much value on the word “humility” (谦逊), sometimes we’re told to lower ourselves in order to be recognized as a more modest student or employee. 【1】, rather than how society looks at you. Here are three ways to develop a modest personality.

Stop questioning your worth.

Being mild-mannered does not contradict(相矛盾) recognizing your worth, because you’ll become at peace with your inner self when you accept your own strengths. Remember that you are valuable regardless of outside changes.Worth shouldn’t be measured by what you compete on in society. 【2】.

【3】

Be willing to get coffee for a colleague, sweep the floors of your dormitory, or move to a smaller office at work. 【4】. In addition, it may potentially inspire ideas for growth beyond your original vision. Accepting more flexibility in your everyday life will also help you move back and forth in the path, without having to worry about “losing yourself” in any difficulty you may come across.

Accept uncertainty.

【5】. Try to appreciate the unknown and regard it as a fresh learning opportunity rather than a nightmare. Just as band Maroon 5 says, “Life isn’t always rainbows and butterflies. It’s compromise that moves us along.” This may never be easy. But you can meet uncertainty with a sense of curiosity to learn what can be created from it.

A．Be eager and flexible

B．Be determined and hard-working

C．Develop a healthier relationship with uncertainty

D．Uncertainty is a double-edged sword in many cases

E．Instead, it’s your gifts, talents and hard work that prove who you are

F．This can allow you to communicate with the people around you in new ways

G．The true humility, however, is more about the way you relate to yourself and your surroundings

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。

As a mountain, 1, 642-foot Squaw Peak isn’t very challenging. But its beautiful views of western Massachusetts have attracted hikers into becoming self—satisfied with no attention to its dangerous cliff(悬崖), resulting in countless injuries and even deaths.

Henry Grant, shy of starting his freshman year at Ithaca College, respected Squaw Peak and was well aware of its danger. So, he stayed a good ten feet from the edge while waiting for his mother to catch up with him one day in August 2019. He watched 15 or so other hikers enjoy the view; one hiker, around 60 and dressed in pink, was looking over the cliff with her husband on the edge of it.

When Grant’s mother caught up, the two turned to continue on their way. Suddenly, he heard something frightening: “Paula! Paula!” a man yelled out. Grant turned around. The woman in pink was nowhere to be seen. She’d fallen off the side of the mountain.

Several hikers immediately started looking for her, but their view was affected by trees. Grant told his mother, “I hate to say this, but they may find a body.” Uncertain they could help, Grant and his mother went on their way. But when he saw hikers still searching, he decided to lend a hand. After telling his mother that he would be safe, he made his way down the mountain alone, hoping he wasn’t too late.

After 15 minutes of searching, Grant saw a figure about 25 feet above him. She was dressed in pink and was in a kneeling position on a small rock. The woman had fallen about 75 feet. Fortunately, she was alive.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
