26、Not long ago, Egypt marked the 150th anniversary of the opening of the Suez Canal. The canal connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. It helped speed world trade between the East and the West. But the man-made waterway has also helped speed the rise of other things, such as invasive(入侵的)non-native species (物种). Scientists say the invasive creatures have damaged the Mediterranean’s environment and caused native species to disappear.

The number of non-native creatures has risen since the Suez Canal was widened in 2015. The “New Suez Canal” has raised concerns in Europe and brought disagreement from many Mediterranean countries. Bella Galil is an Israeli biologist who has studied the Mediterranean for over 30 years. She says much of the ecological(生态的)damage cannot be repaired. She said urgent action is needed to ease the effects of the invasive fish and other sea life.

Galil works at Tel Aviv University’s Steinhardt Museum of Natural History. She noted that the widening and deepening of the Suez Canal has created a “moving aquarium” of species. These creatures could make coastal waters almost unusable for human beings. Galil believes the number of invasive species has reached 400. That is twice the number 30 years ago. She said this is a “historic example of the dangers of unintended consequences.”

Israel is now dealing with huge numbers of poisonous(有毒的) jellyfish that affect coastal power centers and keep people from visiting the seashore. Other poisonous species, such as the lionfish and silver-cheeked toadfish, are also appearing.

Galil said the problems of invasive species can be compared to those of climate change, pollution and over-fishing. She argues that the new species have caused a major “restructuring” of the environment. This has endangered native species.

Some experts have suggested that increasing salt levels in the canal itself could create a barrier(障碍物) that would keep invasive species out.

【1】What lesson can we learn from the effects of the Suez Canal?

A．Seeing is believing.

B．Every coin has two sides.

C．Let nature take its course.

D．Everyone makes mistakes.

【2】What’s the attitude of many Mediterranean countries towards the“New Suez Canal"?

A．Uncaring.

B．Unclear.

C．Supportive.

D．Against.

【3】What is the ecological environment like after the Suez Canal reconstruction?

A．It is from bad to worse.

B．It remains the same.

C．It improves a great deal.

D．It has become a completely new one.

【4】Why did Galil mention climate change,pollution and over-fishing in paragraph 5?

A．To add some background information.

B．To stress the harm of invasive species.

C．To solve the problem of invasive species.

D．To compare their similarities and differences.

27、   Are animal brains too simple for thoughts and choices? Stories about animal kindness have really changed my point of view. In fact, some stories are amazing, especially when animals are meeting with people. Here are two stories that interest me:

James, a wildlife writer, told a story about how an African woman had placed her baby in the shade of a tree while she was working. An elephant group walked by and saw the baby. Several elephants pulled leafy branches from the tree and covered the sleeping baby. Flies can be a problem in Africa and the branches protected the baby from the flies. The elephants were so gentle and quiet that they did not even wake up the baby. Then the elephants walked away.

An English magazine offers another story. Bill, the cat, stayed at home while its master was away on a trip, but the man was injured in a railway accident and died a few days later in a hospital. At the funeral（葬礼）, the man's brother was surprised to see that Bill was there. The faithful cat had traveled a long way to the hospital, looked at the coffin（棺材）, and then sadly returned home.

Humans are only one part of the earth. The beautiful flowers are our sisters; the deer, the horse, the great eagle, these are our brothers. The sky and mountains, the cows and men, all belong to the same family. These stories, I hope, will inspire more people to treat animals as our friends rather than pets or our next meal.

【1】What did the author used to believe?

A.People meet with animals often.

B.Animal brains are too simple to make choices.

C.We should change our old views about animals.

D.Animal stories have many amazing facts.

【2】What did the elephants do when they saw the baby?

A.They woke up the baby by pulling branches.

B.They helped to protect it from the flies.

C.They walked by doing nothing.

D.They ate some branches and walked away.

【3】Why does the author write this passage?

A.He wants to make animals become our sisters and brothers.

B.He wants to inspire more people to treat animals as friends.

C.He wants to warn people against having more food or pets.

D.He wants to make the earth a whole family.

29、Black Friday

The day after Thanksgiving is the start of the holiday shopping season. Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday, so the day after is a Friday. This day has come to be known as Black Friday. It has been the busiest shopping day of the year since 2005.

Most stores offer great deals on Black Friday. They open their doors in the small hours of the morning. They try to attract shoppers with big discounts. Some items like TVs are much cheaper than usual. Stores may even lose money on these items. They hope that shoppers will buy gifts for other people while they are in the store.

Black Friday is a great time to get good deals. The problem is that there are not enough low-priced items to go around. Each store may only have a few. These items are in high demand. People stand in long lines to get such great deals. They may line up hours before a store opens. They may be hoping to get a low price on a TV or laptop, but not everyone who wants one will get one. Some people leave disappointed.

The situation can be tense(紧张的). Some Black Friday events have been violent. Large, eager crowds have trampled(践踏) workers. Fights have broken out over toys or people cutting in line. People have shot one another over parking spots. But most Black Friday events are safe and fun. Still, if you plan on going, expect large crowds and a bit of pushing and shoving.

So where does the name "Black Friday" come from? It was first used in Philadelphia in the 1950s. The police called this day Black Friday because of the heavy traffic it drew. In the 1960s, spread across the country. It seems that it is here to stay.

Now people all over the country take part in the event known as Black Friday. It is even spreading to other parts of the world. Stores have held Black Friday events in the U.K., Australia, and Brazil since 2012. In Costa Rica Black Friday is known as "Viernes Negro." And in Mexico, stores offer an annual weekend of discounts. They call it "El Buen Fin," which means "the good weekend" in Spanish. I guess the language of savings is universal.

【1】Why do stores set prices so low on some items that they lose money?

A.They want people to enjoy the holidays.

B.They are generous at the beginning of the holiday season.

C.They hope people will buy other gifts while they are in the store.

D.They are trying to get rid of old items.

【2】Which best concludes the main idea of the third paragraph?

A.People stand in long lines on Black Friday.

B.Black Friday is a really disappointing time of the year

C.Black Friday is the best time of the year to get good deals.

D.Black Friday deals are limited and not everyone will get one.

【3】Which best describes the overall structure of the fifth paragraph?

A.Order of time.  B.Problem and solution.

C.Order of importance.    D.Compare and contrast.
