26、   If you’re reading this article. It’s safe to assume you don’t need to be sold on the power of the written word. You may already be familiar with findings suggesting even children as young as six months who read books with their parents several times a week show stronger writing and reading skills four years later and score higher on intelligence tests. But latest research shows that when practiced over a lifetime, reading books can support healthy brain functioning in big ways. Simply put: word power increases brain power.

Why does reading books in particular boost your brain power while reading newspapers and magazines doesn’t? The researchers assume that chapter books encourage “deep reading”, which forces your brain to think critically and make connections from one chapter to another and to the outside world. When you make connections.so does your brain, forming new pathways between different regions in your brain. Over time, these neural （神经的）networks can promote quicker thinking and may provide a greater defense against the worst effects of cognitive （认知的）decline.

That’s not to say that magazines, newspapers, and web articles are without merit. Reading anything that fills your mind and exposes you to new words, phrases , and facts seems to carry mental benefits. New research indicates that a large vocabulary may lead to a more flexible mind by fueling what scientists call cognitive reserve. Just as your blood cells will clot （凝结）to cover a cut on your knee, cognitive reserve helps your brain cells find new mental pathways around areas damaged by stroke （脑中风）, Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of cognitive decline. This could explain why, after death, many seemingly healthy elders turn out to harbor advanced signs of Alzheimer’s disease in their brains despite showing few signs in life. It’s their cognitive reserve that allows some seniors to compensate for hidden brain damage.

【1】What does the underlined phrase in paragraph I probably mean?

A.Pay for. B.Worry about.

C.Be persuaded to accept. D.Be offered a discount on.

【2】In which aspect does reading a book boost your brain power?

A.Strengthening neural networks.

B.Blocking the cell’s aging process.

C.Promoting new brain cells’ growth.

D.Curing cognitive decline completely.

【3】What’s the function of the cognitive reserve?

A.It can enlarge your vocabulary.

B.It can stop a cut from bleeding.

C.It can prevent mental diseases.

D.It can make up for brain damage.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.Which Is Better-Books or Magazines

B.Who Need Reading-the Young or the Old

C.Reading Makes a Full Man-It Counts

D.Increasing Your Word Power It Pays Off

28、Slowly but surely, we’re moving closer and closer to 5G world. From smart-home security to self-driving cars, all the internet-connected devices in your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning-fast speeds with reduced delay, Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the U. S. top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆) speeds.

“5G is one of those signs, along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age,” said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. “The self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves. It’s pulling in data from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane. It could be weather information, but also connected infrastructure (基础设施) construction. There’s lots of data behind that task, which is why we need high speed.

Augmented reality glasses and virtual headset haven’t yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smartphones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist — or perhaps even replace — smartphones.

Ericsson stated at February’s Mobile World Congress how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.

But don’t get too excited. There’s still a lot of work to be done in the meantime, including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isn’t concentrated only in big cities.

【1】What does the author want to stress in Paragraph 1?

A．The lighting-fast speed of 5G.

B．The expectation of 5G world.

C．The difference between 4G and 5G.

D．The internet-connected devices in our life.

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

A．Exhibition.

B．Success.

C．Symbol.

D．Explanation.

【3】We can infer from the text that ________.

A．5G world won’t come without AR glasses

B．5G helps to create the artificial intelligence vehicle

C．Apple company is developing AR glasses worldwide

D．Tech companies will face the fact that smartphones may be replaced

【4】What will the author probably tell us next?

A．How to fully expand 5G coverage.

B．Smart glasses will become faster and lighter.

C．Why 5G isn’t concentrated in big cities.

D．The importance of infrastructure construction.

29、Accompanied by her father, using a combination of aid and free climbing and taking advantage of some special equipment and ropes for protection, 10-year-old Selah made it to the top of El Capitan on June 12 after five days of big wall climbing.

Climbing the challenging and adventurous Nose route of El Capitan was a labor of love for Selah in more than one way. Her parents , Mike and Joy Schneiter, fell in love on this 3,000- plus-foot huge rock and she has always wanted to feel the way that her parents felt when they were up there together. Selah showed great interest in rock climbing at an early age. She wore her first rock-climbing equipment shortly after she learned to walk. She first dreamed of climbing El Capitan when she was 6 or 7.

El Capitan is a famous mountain-sized rock in Yosemite National Park. Getting to its top is no easy task. It's taller, as reported, than the tallest building in the world-Dubai’s Buri Khalifa. El Capitan and its difficult Nose route, which runs more than 3,000 feet high up the center of the rock's face, is considered one of the world's hardest big wall climbs and has attracted the best climbers over time. But never before had a youngster accomplished it.

Selah's achievement caught national attention. Outside Magazine called her the youngest documented person to climb the Nose. Ken Yager, president of the Yosemite Climbing Association, said he also couldn't think of anyone younger who has done it.

Selah is humble about her El Capitan accomplishment. "I'm not necessarily a special kid or anything like that, she said. "There were a few times when I would be so worn that it would kind of discourage me from holding on. But overall, it was just great to keep plugging away.”

Selah shared this advice for other young climbers dreaming of big walls, "It doesn't take necessarily a super special person to do something like that. You just have to put your mind to it.”

【1】What do we learn about Selah climbing El Capitan?

A．She began her climbing on June 5.

B．She got inspired by her family history.

C．She managed without any external help.

D．She was the first female to reach the top.

【2】What is the purpose of paragraph 3?

A．To state El Capitan's height.

B．To prove El Capitan's popularity.

C．To introduce El Capitan's location.

D．To stress the challenge of climbing El Capitan.

【3】Which of the following best describes Selah?

A．Determined.

B．Generous.

C．Warm-hearted.

D．Fortunate.

【4】What may be Selah's advice for other young climbers?

A．Dream big and aim high.

B．Be committed to your ambition.

C．Chance favors the prepared mind.

D．Nothing is impossible for a genius.

On a broiling afternoon when the men were away at work and all the women napped, I moved through majestic depths of silences, silences so immense I could hear the corn 【1】. Under these silences there was a / an orchestra of natural music playing notes no city child would ever hear. A certain cackle from the henhouse meant we had gained an egg. The creak of a porch swing told of a momentary breeze blowing across my grandmother’s yard. As I 【2】 along a mossy bank to surprise a frog, a 【3】splash told me the quarry had spotted me and slipped into the stream. Wandering among the sleeping houses, I learned that tin roofs crackle under the power of the sun, and when I tired and came back to my grandmother’s house, I padded into her dark cool living room, lay 【4】 on the floor, and listened to the hypnotic beat of her pendulum clock on the wall ticking the meaningless hours away.

I was enjoying the luxuries of a rustic nineteenth-century boyhood, but for the women Morrisonville life had few 【5】. Their lives were hard, endless, dirty labor.

For baths, laundry, and dishwashing, they hauled buckets of water from a spring at the foot of a hill. To heat it, they chopped kindling to fire their wood stoves. They boiled laundry in tubs, scrubbed it on washboards until knuckles were 【6】, and wrung it out by hand. Ironing was a business of lifting heavy metal weights heated on the stove top.

They scrubbed floors on hands and knees, thrashed rugs with carpet beaters, killed and plucked their own chickens, baked bread and parties, grew and conned their won vegetables, patched the family’s clothing on treadle-operated sewing machines, 【7】before the men to start the stove for breakfast and pack lunch pails, polished the chimneys of kerosene lamps, and even found time to tend the flowers that grew around every house. By the end of a summer day a Morrisonville woman had toiled like a serf.

At sundown the men drifted back from the fields exhausted and 【8】. They scrubbed themselves in enamel basins and, when supper was eaten, climbed up onto the porch to watch the night arrive. Presently the women 【9】 them, and the twilight music of Morrisonville began.

The swing creaking , rocking chairs 【10】 on the porch planks, voices murmuring approval of the sagacity of Uncle Irvey as he quietly observed for probably the ten-thousandth time in his life, “A man works from sun to sun, but a woman’s work is never done.”

40、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。

My Kindergarten Hero

We had just completed a unit on community heroes, and I had given my kindergarten class a task to write or draw about their favorite hero. Each child was busy creating colorful masterpieces such as firefighters, policemen and doctors. Several students had chosen to draw larger-than-life brothers and sisters or moms and dads.

However, one little boy was having difficulty with the assignment. Cameron had touched my heart early in the school year. He had dark brown hair and wore his thick glasses. He looks like a younger version of Harry Potter at best. He often snorted (鼻息声) when he laughed, and the rest of the class would laugh along with him.

Cameron suffered from autism (自闭症), but that didn’t matter to me or his classmates. We all loved him just the way he was. He was full of wonderful stories and brought a special feeling to our classroom. I sat and watched as Austin worked with Cameron. Austin had a wonderful way of interacting with Cameron and he helped him find his hero. Within a few minutes, Cameron quickly began drawing blue lines and curves on his paper—he was particularly fond of the color blue.

Finally, it was time for everybody to share their hero pictures. I listened as each student proudly stood in front of the class, picture held high, and described his or her hero. Several students described their heroes by giving them superhuman strength. It was finally Cameron’s turn to share his hero. Cameron stood up and anxiously placed his large blue stick-figured drawing in front of his face. He then quickly burst out it was a picture of me. He added that I helped him learn things and then quickly sat back down. Tears began to form in the corner of my eyes, but nothing could have prepared me for what happened next.

注意：

1. 续写的词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

When Austin stood up to share his picture, I was certain it would be a policeman.

Cameron suddenly stood up, and put his arms up in the air as if he were going to take of and fly.
