1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

An 8-year-old girl touched many Chinese people when she said she planned to give the shrimps(虾) from her school lunch to her sick mother.

The girl, Zhang Xiaoxiao, is from a primary school in Henan. She finished all vegetables and rice of the school lunch but left four shrimps. When asked for the reason, the girl, with a clear smile and light in her eyes, said she wanted to take the shrimps home for her mother Hu Mingjun. 1.She is in poor health and can’t do heavy work. Her father is a migrant worker(外来务工人员).

“She said she could not eat them all, but I know she worries about me.” Hu said. 2.她为女儿感到非常骄傲。 Zhang Xiaoxiao often brought fruits and milk home. Hu asked her to eat the food herself.

Zhang Pengcheng is the school headmaster. 3. He plays an important part in educating such a loving girl. His school has more than 180 students. Most of them are left-behind children. Some do not meet their parents even once a year. 4.Some children are too young to live in school by themselves, so he and his wife live with boys and girls separately. He understands the situation of the students’ families and helps them. 5.他经常花自己的钱给孩子们买食物。The school lunch has become the best meal for some children.

Zhang Pengcheng hopes the school can help more left-behind children in need of help in the future.

24、

Terrafugia Inc. said that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car next year. The flying car named the Transition has two seats, four wheels and wings that can be folded, so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach about 70 miles every hour on the road and 115 miles in the air. It burns around 23 gallons (加仑) of gas every hour in the air.

_____________________ Around 500 people have already prepaid (预付) $10,000 for getting a Transition. It’s reported that more and more people would like to have one, after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public at the New York Auto Show. But it may be impossible to show up on too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $ 279,000 each. And it won’t help if you’re in a heavy traffic. The car needs a runway.

Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s. According to Robert Mann, an airline scientist, Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the car really fly in the sky.

The government has already agreed the company to use special materials to make it easier for the car to fly. The Transition is now going through tests to make sure it is safe.

Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, the airline pilots would find it easy to control the car.

【1】The first paragraph is mainly about________________.

A.the flying speed of the Transition B.the advantages of the Transition

C.the need of gas for the Transition D.the basic information of the Transition

【2】The government ___________ the development of flying cars.

【3】In the second paragraph, the missing sentence could be “___________”

A.The flying car is a new thing. B.The flying car comes into our life.

C.The flying car is popular but not perfect. D.The flying car costs a lot.

【4】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A.The new flying car can fly 115 miles an hour in the sky.

26、   Let’s suppose it is a common day of 2060. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.

Trips to the Moon are being made every day. Taking a holiday on the Moon today is as easy as taking holiday in Europe in 2016. At number of scenic spots (风景胜地) on the Moon, many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the Moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and old.

What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill comes mainly from green plants. Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just using a few computers.

People are now largely vegetarians (素食者), and they eat only bread, vegetables, fruit and so on and they don’t eat meat or fish. You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. No one has to be ill any more.

【1】The passage mainly talks about ________ .

A．trips to the Moon in 2060

B．developed farming in 2060

C．what our lives would be like in 2060

D．what people would eat in 2060

【2】What does the underlined word “decrease” mean in Paragraph 4?

A．To become less.

B．To become exact.

C．To become larger.

D．To become unknown.

【3】We are healthier because of the following EXCEPT _______.

A．what we eat is green food

B．we can treat any illness

C．we are largely vegetarians

D．we run the farm by using computers

27、How would we travel without maps? It would be a bit adventurous (冒险的) to set off from Oxford University to go to London Bridge if there wasn't a map of the London Underground at each station. In fact, a lot of the early map-makers were adventurers and explorers, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries.

So what did people do before there were maps? Well, it was quite easy to use natural signs like mountains and rivers if you were travelling on foot or riding a horse. People took small boats down rivers and followed coastlines. And it was much more logical (合理的) to use time, not distance, to measure (计量) journeys: the next village is a three-hour ride, for example.

In fact, in the earliest maps, people didn't draw landmarks. They drew the stars. It was very easy to see the night sky and use it for navigation (航行). The sky was a lot clearer before the light pollution from cities that we have today. When towns and cities were built, people drew road maps which gave correct distances and directions.

The London Underground was opened in 1863 and it also used a road map style. But a man called Henry Beck realized that travelling by train wasn't the same as driving your car across London. Passengers only needed to know which stations to change at. His new design (设计) for the Underground map wasn't very popular with the train companies at first. But the passengers loved it and in 1933, 700,000 copies were printed.

These days, of course, you can ride a bike, drive a car or go through a forest and know where you are exactly, using a GPS. It's really difficult to get lost!

【1】【1】What was drawn in the earliest maps?

A. Stars.

B. Landmarks.

C. Cities and towns,

D. Mountains and rivers.

【2】【2】When did road maps come out?

A. Around 15th and 16th centuries.

B. When people began to travel by train.

C. When people began to travel by sea.

D. When cities and towns appeared.

【3】【3】Which of the following is true?

A. A GPS helped people to travel long time ago.

B. Ancient people could travel on a horse without maps.

C. The sky was polluted by light before cities were built.

D. Henry Beck's map wasn't popular with the passengers.

【4】【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Maps have a long history.

B. We never get lost these days.

C. We can't travel without maps.

D. Henry Beck designed a new map.

28、阅读下文，根据语境或所给单词的提示，在每个空格内填入一个恰当的词（所给词适当形式填空除外），使短文意思完整、行文连贯。

I hated math, but needed high scores to please my parents, so I made some “friends”, who allowed me 【1】 (copy) their work on tests. Even 【2】 they knew it was bad for me, they were still glad to “help”. In this way, I passed a few tests.

One day, something terrible happened. Our teacher changed our 【3】 (seat) for the test and I was sitting beside a boy whom I 【4】 talked with before. The questions were so 【5】 that I could only answer one or two. I signaled(示意) to the boy and asked him for answers. To my surprise, he 【6】 (agree) to offer help. After the test, he came up to tell me that I could get good grades in math and all I needed was to put more effort into the subject. I was still mad at him, but I thought what he said had a 【7】.

From that day on, I began to spend more time on math. Slowly the subject I hated so much turned 【8】 such an interesting thing. I started to pass math tests 【9】 (easy) with my own ability.

Till now, I’m still thankful to the boy who didn’t help me on that day, because his choice is really 【10】 (help) to my lifelong journey.
