26、Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson in how little things still mean a lot. My brother, mother and I live in Hawaii. Our farm is at least a dozen miles from even the most basic of services. Therefore, I take weekly trips to the shop to gel supplies. About a month ago, I finished loading up the car and was about to leave when a piece of paper on the ground caught my eye. I picked it up and read it carefully. Immediately, I was grateful that I had done that_______

It was a receipt (收据) from the State Motor Vehicle Division, recording the owner's payment of her Vehicle's Registration fees. I put myself in his or her shoes and thought: no one would throw this away. I looked over the receipt for any personal data, perhaps a license plate (车牌) or telephone number, but failed. How could I find the owner in the busy, crowded parking lot? Had it been lying there for a few minutes or a week? So I checked the date, the fees paid and the name of the owner, who must live in our town. I decided that the best and easiest step to take was to put the receipt in an envelope and send it to the owner first the next morning.

By the end of the week, I received a beautiful “thank you” letter from a woman including a handwritten message and a card. In the letter, the woman explained how the wind took her receipt from a pocket in her car's passenger door. She had searched everywhere for quite some time before giving up.

It felt great to know I had helped someone avoid a loss by doing something that seemed little and unimportant.

【1】What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 mean?

A．He was lucky to learn the lesson.

B．It was a good idea to do shopping that day.

C．He was right to pick up the paper.

D．It turned out the paper belonged to the writer.

【2】What information did the writer get from the paper?

A．The woman's license plate number.

B．The woman's phone number.

C．The woman's name.

D．The woman's address.

【3】How did the woman lose the receipt?

A．She forgot where she had put it.

B．A strong wind blew it away.

C．It fell onto the floor.

D．She left it in the parking lot.

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

A．A Lesson I Will Never Forget

B．Never Lose Heart or Give up

C．Little Things Still Mean a Lot

D．Think Carefully Before You Act

27、There are so many more uses for lemons than just being a sweetener for your water (although there are some great health benefits of lemon water). The beloved fruit can act as a cleaning solution, a beauty fix, and even a teeth whitening solution. 【1】?

By just breathing in the smell of a lemon, 【2】. Some of these include reduced anxiety levels and stress, an overall calming feeling, increased alertness (警觉), reduction of blood pressure, and increased productivity.

“The ‘health benefits’ that everyone are talking about is actually just the effect of aromatherapy (芳香疗法),”Diane Elizabeth, founder of Skin Care Ox, told “Reader’s Digest ”. “The idea is that if you place slices of a lemon next to your bed, 【3】. Lemon has been used as a powerful aromatherapy basic oil for ages and they have been considered to be related to such benefits as increased concentration, reduced stress levels (most likely the result of increased serotonin (血清素) production), and a comforting effect on the breathing system.”

While most of the benefits of sleeping with a cut lemon next to you are health-related, 【4】. One of them is keeping ants away—if you have an ant problem, simply put the cut lemon’s juice near or around any possible entry.

Lemons also act as natural air fresheners—so while that lemon is near your bed 【5】, freshening the air around you and providing natural aromatherapy.

A．it’s playing double duty

B．there’s a couple of other benefits, too

C．how can lemons have so many benefits

D．your body experiences most of its beneficial purposes

E．then you will breathe in the slight smell of lemons at night

F．Have we not succeeded in convincing you that you need more lemons in your life

G．But did you know that sleeping next to a cut lemon can get some of these benefits as well

28、At eleven, I decided to learn to swim. There was a pool at the Y.M.C.A. offering exactly the opportunity. Mother continually warned against it, and kept fresh in my mind the details of each drowning in the river. But the Y.M.C.A. pool was safe.

I had a childhood fear of water. This started when I was three years old and father took me to the beach. The huge waves knocked me down and swept over me.

The pool was quiet. I was afraid of going in all alone, so I sat on the side of the pool to wait for others. Then came a big boy. He yelled, “Hi, Skinny! How’d you like to be ducked?” With that he picked me up and threw me into the deep end. I landed in a sitting position, and swallowed water. But I was not frightened out of my wits —   when my feet hit the bottom, I would make a big jump, come out of the surface. It seemed a long way down. I gathered all my strength when I landed and made what I thought was a great spring upwards. Then I opened my eyes and saw nothing but water. I tried to yell but no sound came out. I went down, down, endlessly.

When I came to consciousness, I found myself lying on the bed in the hospital. I never went back to the pool. I avoided water whenever I could. This misadventure stayed with me as the years rolled by. It deprived me of the joy of boating and swimming. Finally, I decided to get an instructor. Piece by piece, he built a swimmer. Several months later, the instructor was finished, but I was not. Sometimes terror would return.

This went on until July. I swam across the Lake Wentworth. Only once did the terror return. When I was in the middle of the lake, I put my face under and saw nothing but bottomless water. I laughed and said, “Well, Mr. Terror, what do you think you can do to me?” I had conquered my fear of water.

【1】The author’s original fear of water was caused by ___________.

A．his poor skill in swimming

B．his mother's warning of drowning

C．an outing to the beach with his father

D．an unpleasant memory of the pool

【2】Who thought I had to and could swim bravely?

A．My father.

B．My mother.

C．The big boy.

D．The instructor.

【3】By the underlined part “but I was not” in paragraph 5, the author probably means “________”.

A．he was still a poor swimmer

B．he had not overcome the fear yet

C．he was not afraid of drowning any more

D．he was not satisfied with the swimming training

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

A．Goodbye, Mr. Terror

B．Hello, Childhood Fear

C．A Swimming Adventure

D．My Passion for Swimming

29、   American culture is unique because it is formed and developed under certain conditions.The major factors contributing to the making of this flew nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment,ethnic diversity (多民族) and plural religion,which is quite different from other nations in the world.What is more,these elements are still influencing the American culture.

The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of America.From 1607 to 1892, frontiers were pushed further west. The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise,opportunity and freedom. Actually they looked for a better life.So individualism (个人主义), self-reliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage (遗产) of America.

In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to America three times.They brought their own culture to America and later on, different cultures were mixed together.Thus the unique American culture is formed, a common cultural life with commonly shared values.

The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the fight of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States.The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism; almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States.

Nowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society. American family is typically parents and their unmarried children.Middle-aged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children.The people in America have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place. Quite a number of people change residences every year.The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime.

31、Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Today, the events 【1】 in realistic-looking or-sounding video and audio recordings need never have happened. They can instead be 【2】 automatically, by powerful computers and machine-learning software. The catch-all term for these computational productions is “deepfakes”.

The term first appeared on Reddit, a messaging board, as the username for an account which was producing 【3】 videos. An entire community 【4】 up around the creation of these videos, writing software tools that let anyone automatically 【5】 one person’s face onto the body of another. Reddit shut the community down, but the technology was out there. Soon it was being applied to political 【6】 and actors.

Tools for editing media 【7】 have existed for decades—think Photoshop. The power and peril of deepfakes is that they make fakery cheaper than ever before. Before deepfakes, a powerful computer and a good chunk of a university degree were needed to produce a realistic fake video of someone. Now some photos and an Internet connection are all that is required.

The consequences of cheap, widespread fakery are likely to be 【8】, albeit slow to unfold. Plenty worry about the possible impact that believable, fake footage of politicians might have on civil society—from a further loss of trust in media to the 【9】 for electoral distortions. These technologies could also be deployed against softer targets: it might be used, for instance, to bully classmates by creating imagery of them in embarrassing situations. In a world that was already saturated with 【10】 imagery, deepfakes make it plausible to push that even further.

32、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。

During summer vacation when I was twelve, a sawmill (锯木厂) was operating in the woods near our farm. Early each morning, I’d watch the men cut down big trees, saw them into logs, and deliver the logs to the mill.

The logs were dragged by a team of horses named Jack and Billy. They were gentle, and I petted them every chance I got.

One day, Mr. David, the mill owner, said he’d pay me 15 cents a day to bring fresh water to his men. In 1942, that was a lot of money! I said yes.

One afternoon when Jack and Billy were pulling a log up to the mill, a stick injured Jack’s right front hoof (蹄). After Mr. David removed the stick, the horse driver said that the foot should be doctored. But Mr. David said he didn’t have time for that. He said if the horse couldn’t earn his keep, he’d get one that could.

I felt sick inside. Jack and Billy were my best friends! I couldn’t stop thinking about Jack’s foot and what Mr. David had said.

For the rest of the day the team pulled logs from the woods. By nightfall, Jack was limping badly. Mr. David told his crew that the mill would be closed for three days because he’d be away for the Fourth of July. He offered to pay me a dollar to feed and water the horses while he was gone. I quickly agreed.

The next morning, I rode my bike to Mr. David’s barn. I wanted to look at Jack’s hoof. I reached down and grabbed the hair on the back of his leg, as I’d seen Mr. David do, and Jack lifted up his foot so I could see.

The part inside of the big iron shoe looked red and mushy (烂糊的).

I didn’t know anything about medicine, and Mr. David said he wouldn’t pay for a doctor. But if he didn’t earn his keep, Mr. David would get rid of him. But what could I do?

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右;

At my house, I saw our neighbor, Mr. Sherman who raised horses and knew how to care for them.
