26、"Carers" are all sorts of people with so many different caring roles. I know this only too well from attending my severely ill mother as a teenager, to having main carer responsibility for my Nanna for her last ten years, to now as a father caring for my disabled son.

But more importantly, I was also cared for. My dad had died when I was four, so after my mum died, it was my amazing Nanna and Grandad who took me in. Because they were my grandparents, I never really thought of them as "carers"，and I don't think they did either. Back then, I probably didn9t even know what 66kinship（亲属关系）carer" meant

It wasn't easy for them. My mother's long illness and early death nearly broke them. I used to think looking after me helped them deal with their heartbreak. But the truth is, they helped me get over my mum's death. Surrounding me with unquestioning love, they were classic kinship carers.

Working as a lawyer, I've helped a surprisingly large number of kinship carers over the years—mostly grandparents, fighting the system for their precious grandchildren. I like to think I go the extra mile, which helped them face the challenges. More than 180,000 children across the UK are being raised by kinship carers today, but the huge challenges facing them are too often forgotten by politicians and policymakers.

What my Nanna and Grandad did—and what kinship carers across the UK are doing today—is amazing. They are giving a loving home to these children, while reducing the stress on the formal care system― ven though it may add difficulties to their own life. We can't thank and support them too much.

【1】The author knows very well about what carers are by .

A．giving and getting care

B．doing voluntary work

C．becoming a parent

D．learning from carers

【2】According to the text, what did the author's Nanna and Grandad do?

A．They took care of the author's ill mother.

B．They spoiled the author with too much love.

C．They offered to look after the author's children.

D．They helped the author get through hard times.

【3】What does the underlined part “go the extra mile” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Take the wrong way.

B．Make a special effort.

C．Save much precious time.

D．Do some unnecessary work.

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A．Carers Face Huge Challenges

B．More Kinship Carers Needed

C．Carers Deserve Recognition and Support

D．British Policies Intended for Kinship Carers

27、Chinese young gun Yang Qian claimed the first gold of the Tokyo Olympics with a victory in women’s 10m air rifle (气步枪) on July 24 in Tokyo, Japan. Russian markswoman Anastasia Galashina took the silver and Nina Christen of Switzerland bagged the bronze. Yang, who was ranked sixth in the qualification, scored 251.8 points in the final, beating Galashina’s 251.1 points to set off Team China to a fine start in Tokyo.

Trailing by a mere 0.1 point ahead of the final two shots, Yang saw the gap widen despite a 10.7-point shot, as her rival (对手) made an impressive 10.8. However, when it came to the last shot that would define the eventual champion, Galashina surprisingly shot for 8.9 points, and lost the Olympic title to Yang, who had a 9.8.

“I am very happy and proud to win this gold,” said the 21-year-old in a calm tone. The result set the standard for future Olympic competitors as Tokyo 2020 is the first games under new competition rules for the event. “I was extremely nervous before the final shot, and all I could do was to calm down.” the young Olympic champion recalled. “I wasn’t as calm as I appeared to be. During the qualification and the final I kept adjusting my mentality gradually, trying to shake the pressure off me, and I think I did well in doing so.”

Yang had to stand up to a long wait for other shooters to finish their shots before reaching the final. The favored Indian duo, world record holder Apurvi Cbandela and world no.1 Elavenil Valarivan, bowed out after the 60-shot qualification round. Norwegian Jeanette Hegg Duestad was the dark horse in the qualification, setting an Olympic record of 632.9 points. But the 22-year-old narrowly missed the medals in the final.

【1】What is the purpose of paragraph 1?

A．To introduce the result of the shooting event.

B．To state the events of the Tokyo Olympics.

C．To show the course of the shooting event.

D．To explain the competition rules of the Olympics.

【2】What does the underlined word “Trailing” probably mean in paragraph 2?

A．Scoring.

B．Measuring.

C．Losing.

D．Multiplying.

【3】What can we know from Yang’s words?

A．She was too nervous to keep calm.

B．It was difficult to defeat her opponents.

C．She narrowly won the gold due to a mistake.

D．Being mentally calm is crucial to success.

【4】Which section of a magazine is this text probably taken from?

A．Education and culture.

B．Nature and geography.

C．Science and technology.

D．Sports and health.

28、The United States government wants to know what the public thinks about its finding on the safety of cloned animals.

The Food and Drug Administration says meat and milk from clones of adult animals are safe to eat. They called them “as safe to eat as the food we eat every day.” And when those clones reproduce sexually(有性繁殖), the agency says, their offspring(后代)are safe to eat as well.

The United States this year could become the first country to allow the sale of foods from cloned animals. First，however，the public will have ninety days to comment on three proposed documents. On December 28th the F.D.A. released a long report, called a draft risk assessment, along with two policy documents. The agency says it must receive comments by April 2nd. The F.D.A. seemed ready to act several years ago，but an advisory committee called for more research.

For now，the government will continue to ask producers to honor a request that they do not sell foods from cloned animals.

Clones are still rare. They cost a lot and are difficult to produce. The F.D.A. says most food from cloning is expected to come not from clones themselves, but from their sexually reproduced offspring. It says clones are expected to be used mostly as breeding animals to spread good qualities.

Public opinion studies show most Americans do not like the idea of food from cloned animals. But this research also shows the public know little about cloning. Cloning differs from genetic engineering. A cell taken from a so­called donor animal is grown into an embryo(胚胎)in the laboratory. Next, the embryo is placed into the uterus(子宫)of a female animal. If the process is successful, the pregnancy reaches its full term and a genetic copy of the donor animal is born.

【1】 From the passage, we know ________.

A. the US government is very cautious about the safety of cloned foods

B. foods from cloned animals are popular in America

C. cloned animals will be easy to produce

D. most foods from cloning are expected to come from clones themselves

【2】Who believes that foods from cloning are safe to eat?

A. Most Americans. B. An advisory committee.

C. Critics. D. The F.D.A. .

【3】 It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.

A. cloning has much in common with genetic engineering

B. not every cell taken from a donor animal can grow into a genetic copy

C. the donor animal should be a female one

D. cloned animals grow faster than normal ones

【4】 Whether the sale of cloned foods is allowed in the US depends on ________.

A. cloning technology

B. the advisory committee’s research

C. public comments

D. the documents of the F.D.A.

29、Many of us enjoy doing it: you turn on the camera on your mobile phone and hold it at a high angle--- making your eyes look bigger and your cheekbones more defined. You turn to your best side and click.

There it is - your selfie.

Over the past year, "selfie" has become a well-known term across the globe. This August the Oxford dictionary added the word to their online dictionary and define it as: "A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website."

Today it's not difficult to find social networking pages full of photos people have taken of themselves and their friends. And selfie culture has become especially relevant for young people. As many as 91 percent of teenagers have posted photos of themselves online, according to a recent survey by the US Pew Research Center.

So what are the reasons for the rise of selfie culture?

"The craziness about the selfie celebrates regular people," Pamela Rutledge, a professor at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology, told Vogue magazine. "There are many more photographs available now of real people than models."

Posting selfies also allows you to control your image online. "I like having the power to choose how I look, even if I'm making a funny face:' Samantha Barks, 19, a high school student in the US, told Vogue.

In addition to self-expression and documentation (记录), selfies "allow for a close friendship for long-distance friends, because you can see each other's faces every day", wrote Casey Miller at The Huffington Post.

But US psychologist Jill Weber is concerned that selfies might lead to social problems. "There's a danger that your self-esteem (自尊心) may start to be tied to the comments and '1ikes' you get when you post a selfie, and they aren't based on who you are - they're based on what you look like," Weber told Vogue. "When you get nothing or a negative response, your confidence can decrease."

【1】Why does the writer mention the fact that "selfie" was added to an online dictionary?

A. To inform readers where to find the meaning of the word.

B. To recommend the dictionary to readers.

C. To show that the online dictionary is widely used.

D. To indicate that the word has become very popular.

【2】According to the passage, "selfie" mainly involves _______.

A. young people  B. models  C. students  D. celebrities

【3】How many reasons are mentioned for the rise of selfie?

A.2. B.3. C.4.   D.5.

【4】Many people post photos of themselves online to _________.

A. make fun of themselves B. become powerful

C. beautify themselves   D. choose how they look

【5】In Jill Weber's opinion, selfies may cause one to _________.

A. be cheated   B. feel discouraged

C. lose money   D. succeed more easily

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.

Archaeologists have long thought that stone ships served as graves for one or several individuals, and have even been viewed as death ships 【1】 to take the dead to living eternally. However, a new study conducted by researchers from the University of Gothenburg shows a different picture. It suggests Bronze Age stone monuments in the form of ships were built by sailors as a symbol of their practices at sea.

The study indicates that the stone ships and the activities that took place there point to people who were 【2】 focused on practices at sea. Details found within the stone structures show they were built to 【3】 real ships. The stone ships offer up 【4】 about the ship-building techniques of the time and about the ships that sailed on the Baltic Sea during the Bronze Age.

“These consist of areas that 【5】 hill forts and are located near easily 【6】 points in the landscape—that is, near well-known waterways leading inland,” Wehlin, head of the team, said. “While these areas have previously been thought to be much younger, recent age 【7】 have dated them to the Bronze Age.”

Archaeologists have believed that bronze was 【8】 to Scandinavia from the south, and recent analyses have helped confirm this notion. However, the people who distributed the bronze objects are rarely 【9】 in these thoughts.

“One reason why the meeting places of the Bronze Age are not discussed very often is that we haven’t been able to find them,” Wehlin said. “This is in 【10】 contrast to the trading places of the Viking Age, which have been easy to locate as they left behind such rich archaeological material.”

32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要

Many Chinese students have studied English for approximately ten years, but most of them cannot even speak English correctly or fluently. In my opinion, there are several obstacles(障碍)that have caused this to happen. The main obstacle is fear! Another is the habit of mentally translating from Chinese to English and then to change these thoughts into spoken words and sentences. Many of these difficulties are caused by the way Chinese people study and learn the language.

We must learn to speak as a child does. When we are learning a second language we need to remember how we learned our native language. Learning to understand and speak a language is one of the first skills a child develops. How does a child learn the language? He listens for a time and then he tries to repeat the words. Parents give great praise for the smallest effort and slightest improvement. Therefore, the child develops courage and is excited about learning. It takes a long time before he knows anything about grammar, spelling or formal sentence structures.

As for language teachers, they should avoid criticism(批评)and be very encouraging and generous with praise. Criticism or pointing out faults too often causes students to lose self-confidence and develop a fear of speaking. The best way to motivate a student is using Praise.

The most important aspect of speaking is having self-esteem. Self-esteem is how you feel about yourself. When most Chinese people are asked how their English is, or they are told their English is, or very are told their English is very good, they immediately respond by saying, 'Oh my English is very poor. 'If you say this to yourself often enough, you will believe it. When someone compliments(称赞)you, just say 'thank you '.
