26、 Ice-skating athlete Alysa Liu is no stranger to breaking records. In 2016, the then 10-year-old became the youngest figure skating(花滑)champion in U.S. history. In 2018, at the age of 12, Liu became the youngest to compete in, and win, the U.S. junior championships. That same year, she was also the youngest to land a triple axel (三圈半跳)in an international competition.
On January 25, 2019, the skater made history once again as the youngest-ever national figure skating champion at the Geico U.S. Women’s Figure Skating Championships held in Detroit, Michigan. The record before was held by Tara Lipinski in 1997 when she was 15.
At the championships, things were going well for defending U.S. champion Bradie Tennell, who was in the lead following the short program on January 24. But things changed the following day when Tennell had a series of setbacks(挫折),first stepping out of a triple loop and then falling during a triple lutz attempt. Meanwhile, Liu, who was in second place and had already impressed the judges with a perfect triple axel in the short program, gave a perfect free skate performance.
When asked about her amazing performance, Liu said, "I was just happy that I beat my personal record, and I did a clean long program." Another thing the young champion was happy about? A trip to Disneyland for Liu and her family. "It’s so much fun," said the 13-year-old.
Liu fell in love with ice skating during her first lesson at the Oakland Ice Center. The then five-year-old showed such a natural gift that Laura Lipetsky, a former national competitor who has taught Liu ever since, asked her father, Arthur Liu, to send her to private lessons.
Unfortunately, Liu won’t take part in the 2019 World Figure Skating Championships in Japan because of the age requirement of 15. However, that doesn’t appear to affect her. She says, "I’m not too worried about that part because I get more time to work on my jumps, skating skills and just trying to learn more."
【1】What is described at the beginning of the text?
A.The history of ice-skating. B.Liu’s achievements in ice-skating.
C.The ice-skating champions in history. D.A national figure skating championship.
【2】What happened during the 2019 U.S. Women’s Figure Skating Championships?
A.The judges were shocked by Lipinski. B.Lipinski met Liu for the first time.
C.Tennell made some mistakes. D.Liu took the lead at first.
【3】What can be inferred from the text about Liu?
A.She likes traveling with her father. B.She was taught to skate by her father.
C.She got a lot of support from Lipetsky. D.She fell in love with skating because of Lipetsky
【4】What kind of girl is Alysa Liu according to the last paragraph?
A.Positive. B.Determined.
C.Patient. D.Intelligent.
27、Recently, a case of lifeboat ethics occurred. On Aug. 4, Graham and Sheryl Anley, while boating off the coast of South Africa, hit a rock. As the boat threatened to sink, the husband got off, but his wife was trapped in the boat. Instead of freeing his wife and getting her to shore, Graham grabbed Rosie, their pet dog. With Rosie safe and sound, Graham returned for Sheryl. All are doing fine.
It’s great story, but it doesn’t strike me as especially newsworthy. News is supposed to be about something fairly unique, and recent research suggests that, in the right circumstances, lots of people also would have grabbed their Rosie first.
We have strange relationships with our pets. We look after our pets with great love and better health care than billions of people receive. We speak to pets with the same high-pitched voices that we use for babies.As an extreme example of our feelings about pets, the Nazis had strict laws that guaranteed the kind treatment of the pets of Jews being shipped to death camps.
A recent paper by George Regents University demonstrates this human involvement with pets to an astonishing extent. Participants in the study were told a situation in which a bus is out o control, bearing down on a dog and a human. Which do you save? With responses from more than 500 people, the answer was that it depended: What kind of human and what kind of dog?
Everyone would save a brother, grandparent or close friend rather than a strange dog. But when people considered their own dog VS people less connected with them -- a distant cousin or a hometown stranger -- votes a favor of saving the dog came rolling in. And an astonishing 40% of respondents, including 46% of women, voted to save their dog over a foreign tourist.
What does a finding like this mean? First, it is that your odds aren’t so good if you find yourself in another country with a bus bearing down on you and a cute dog. But it also points to something deeper: our unprecedented attitude toward animals, which got its start with the birth of kind - hearted societies in the 19th century.
We prison people who abuse animals, put ourselves in harm’s way in boats between whales an whalers and show sympathy to Bambi and his mother. We can extend sympathy to an animal and feel its pain like no other species. But let’s not be too proud of ourselves. As this study and too much of our history show, we’re pretty selective about how we extend our kindness to other human beings.
【1】Which of the following is true according to the article?
A.The story of the Anleys and their dog was too unique to be newsworthy.
B.Most people surveyed choose to save their own dog rather than a human.
C.It wa in the 19th century that human beings started to love their pets.
D.Human beings are more and more concerned with animals nowadays.
【2】What is the function of the first of paragraph?
A.To create a relaxing mood for readers.
B.To present the theme of this essay straightly.
C.To lead in the main topic of this essay.
D.To raise problems that will be solved later.
【3】The author mentions Nazi laws in the third paragraph ________.
A.to show how cruel the Nazis’ were to the Jews
B.as an example to persuade people not to love pets
C.to illustrate the strange relationship between human and pets
D.as an example to display the kindness of the Nazis
【4】What does the author mainly argue for?
A.Pets are of great significance to us human beings.
B.We should rethink about out attitude towards animals and mankind.
C.It is kind of human beings to extend kindness to animals.
D.We should be selective when showing attitude toward other human beings.
28、 How To Be Green?
What does “green” mean? “Green” is more than just a color. 【1】 Why green? Plants are green, and without them the Earth wouldn't be such a lovely home for us human beings. What can we do? Here's a four-step guide to being green.
Reduce It!
【2】 For instance, a shorter shower means you use less water and less fuel since your house uses fuel to run the water heater that warms up the water.
Reuse It!
Sometimes people call our society a “throwaway society”. It means that we're a little too willing to throw away old stuff(东西) and buy new stuff. 【3】 . For instance, if your baby brother becomes older and loses interest in his plastic basketball hoop(篮圈), why not give it to another family who has a little kid?
Recycle It!
Recycling has never been easier. Many communities(社区) will pick it up right in front of your house and some towns even require it. Recycled goods go to a recycling center, where they can be turned into new cans, bottles, and paper.
Enjoy It!
It's true that rubbish and pollution are problems, but the Earth remains a huge and beautiful place that's ready for you to explore. 【4】 Go for a hike, visit local nature centers and gardens, and climb up mountains.
But before you travel around the world, take a look at your own backyard. Find a place where you could plant a tree or put in a little fruit or vegetable garden. 【5】
A.Get out there and get your hands dirty.
B.Turn off the water when you're brushing your teeth.
