26、When Hanadi was 4, her school was destroyed in the civil war. Soon after, her family left Syria to live as refugees(难民) in nearby Lebanon. Hanadi joined a school there but was fearful to go. Her experience is not unusual. There are now nearly 25.4 million refugees around the world, according to the United Nations refugee agency. About half are children. Most refugees today are from Syria, where civil war broke out in 2011.
To help kids affected by the situation, Sesame Street and the International Rescue Committee (IRC) have teamed up to create a new version (版本) of Sesame Street especially for Syrian refugees using Muppets(木偶)as teachers.“we don' t just want to help children learn letters and numbers, "said Sherrie Westin, who works at Sesame Workshop. “We want to help them feel less alone."
There are more than 150 international versions of Sesame Street. In Germany, kids watch Sesamstrasse, while Mexico has Plaza Sesamo. Each version includes math and spelling lessons. Some characters are the same as in the American version. But other things are different: The Muppets speak the local language and wear local clothes.
The new version will include situations that are familiar to Syrian refugee kids. Some of the Muppets, for example, may have been forced to leave their home. "Kids can watch the Muppets work through big problems the kids are dealing with themselves, "the IRC’ s Sarah Smith says.
For the world ’s 12 million refugee children, there is little chance to receive good education. And even if kids go to school, they may have fallen behind in their studies. Often, they are traumatized(使受精神创伤) by what they’ve been through.
The new Sesame Street will meet the public in 2019. Sesame Workshop expects that more than 9 million children will be able to watch the show on a TV, computer, or mobile phone. Hanadi may be one of them.
【1】What happened to 4-year-old Hanadi?
A.She dropped out of school.
B.She was injured in the war
C.She fell behind in her studies.
D.She became afraid to go to school.
【2】Why was the new version of Sesame Street created?

D.To teach kids who can't afford to go to school
【3】What do different versions of Sesame Street have in common?
A.They all teach math and spelling.
B.They were all named Sesame Street.
C.The characters are exactly the same.
D.The characters wear the same clothes.
【4】What can we learn about the new version of Sesame Street?
A.The story happens in Syria.

27、Wearing flip-flops (平底人字拖鞋) was once considered bad fashion manners. And flip-flops are considered only for beach goers or a short, relaxing walk to the mailbox on a hot summer day. 【1】. In fact, flip-flops have become so popular that many major designers are designing them for people.
However, wearing flip-flops could be bad for our bodies and the scientific studies are there to back it up. As a rule, flip-lops are not particularly supportive shoes even if they are comfortable and cool to wear. There is actually no arch support to flip-flops. By nature of design, flip-flops aren’t exactly fit for the foot — they don’t stay on well. In order to walk without losing a shoe, people unconsciously change their ways of walking. 【2】
Some experts also warn of short-term effects. Wearing flip-flops instead of more appropriate footwear for certain activities, especially when too much walking is involved, can lead to injured feet and ankles. 【3】 This makes it more likely to slip, trip, fall, and later twist an ankle.
【4】 For activities that require much walking or activity, such as shopping or gardening, consider wearing more appropriate shoes. When shopping for flip-flops, avoid the poorly made ones that can easily twist in your hands. Instead choose shoes that have a stronger, thicker, well-made sole. 【5】 Though less fashionable, these flip-flops offer some support and stability beyond the traditional ones.
A.Most flip-flops lack stability.
B.The right pair of flip-flops don’t have to be limited to sunny beach days.
C.But flip-flops don’t have to be limited to sunny beach days.
D.There are also a few varieties designed with foot health in mind.
E.Over a long time, wearing them too much could lead to foot, leg and back pain.
F.However, in recent years, these shoes have become much more fashion-forward.
G.Without having to give up wearing flip-flops entirely, experts recommend limiting their use.

29、Denmark is only about half the size of South Carolina, but it produces more of its electricity from wind than any other country in the world. That's not because it's a particularly breezy country; it has pretty ordinary average wind speeds. The reason the Danes now get 47% of their electricity from wind,with more to come,comes down to a combination of history and policy.
First, the history: Paul la Cour was a scientist and inventor who experimented with and engineered early wind power machines at the start of the 20th century. So it's not surprising that Denmark spent money developing wind power early, beginning at a national level in the 1970s.In the 1980s,due to a strong grassroots movement disagreeing with nuclear power plants, Denmark increased production before many other countries were even considering it.
Denmark has also had significant government support for wind-energy projects, as well as support from the country's technology-focused universities. Even back in 2002, the country was taking climate change warnings seriously, aiming to cut fossil-fuel emissions by 20 percent, which it did via renewable energy investment and implementation.
Some of the world's largest companies in the area --- including Vestas, which builds turbines, and Orsted, which specializes in offshore wind projects --- are Danish,so the country has an impact beyond its borders.
The great impact of Denmark's wind-energy business is important because it's a small country, so while an almost 50% rate of electricity from wind is admirable, it's also small in terms of overall global impact.
While Denmark gets almost half of its electricity needs covered from 5,758 megawatts (MW) of capacity, Spain's 23,000 MTW covers just 18 percent of its electricity supply as it's a much bigger country. China is the leader in wind energy at 221,000 MW,and the U.S. comes second in the world at about 96,000 MW.
Denmark's long support for wind-energy technology and its policies made in support of wind energy have proven this approach can work to decarbonize the economy, even on a bigger scale.At the end of 2019, lawmakers in Denmark set a new goal: increasing the percentage of electricity sourced from renewable power to 100%.
【1】What can we learn about Denmark in developing wind power?
A.It has the advantage of strong winds.
B.Its weather conditions are unfavorable.
C.It is experienced in this area.
D.It met with strong disagreement at first.
【2】The fourth paragraph mentions two companies to show
A.the bright future of the wind power business
B.the fierce competition in the area of wind power
C.Denmark's dependence on the wind-energy business
D.Denmark's international status in the wind-energy business
【3】Which country produces the most wind power?
A.The U.S.
B.Denmark.
C.Spain.
D.China.
【4】What is indicated in the last paragraph?
A.A hopeful future of the green economy.
B.The urgent need to develop wind energy worldwide.
C.A long way to go to full dependence on clean energy.
D.Wind energy's leading role as a form of renewable power.

31、Directions:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Donald Trump 【1】 his place as the United States’ 45th president after crossing the 270 electoral vote threshold(门槛) on November 9. The 70-year-old Republican will take over from Barack Obama, a two-term president to occupy the White House.
The rise of Trump, a celebrity businessman with no previous experience in the 【2】 or elected office, surprised nearly everyone in politics. Trump’s victory over Clinton will end eight years of Democratic 【3】 of the White House. He will govern with Congress fully under Republican control and lead a country deeply 【4】 by his campaign against Clinton. Given the numerous Republicans who never backed him, Trump will have to face divisions within his own party, too.
As he claimed victory, Trump urged Americans to “come together as one united people.” “I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans,” he said in his victory speech.

Trump is a wild card, many voters said, but he definitely has a chance to be a successful president as long as he recognizes the responsibilities he 【10】 and follows through on his promises.

A Doorway to the World
Albert was mad about computer games. He would spend hours and hours in front of the screen and enjoyed every minute of it. He hardly left his seat. When people encouraged him to enjoy the real life, he would answer, "This is my doorway to the world. There is much more here than you realise."
Among all his games there was one game he especially liked. In the game he would collect turtles(海龟). He was good at it. Maybe there was no one else in the world who had collected as many turtles as he had, but Albert still wanted more and more and more...
One day, when he got home from school, he ran to his room to turn the computer on. But this time he heard some strange noises, like breaking glass. Suddenly the screen broke, and from inside came hundreds, then thousands of little turtles. And they filled his bedroom. Albert was shocked. He couldn't believe what was happening. He shut down and started the computer up many times. He called his parents to see if he was dreaming. Seeing that the turtles were staying in Albert's room, his parents decided to make them his responsibility.
Looking after thousands of turtles, day after day, was no easy task. Over the following days Albert set himself to learning all he could about turtles. He studied their diet and their habits, and he began to think up ways to feed them. He also tried to trick them into leaving his room, but it never worked. Gradually, he got used to living among turtles, and actually began to enjoy it. And everyone, including his parents, his friends, and his teachers, enjoyed hearing Albert's stories and his growing knowledge about nature.
