26、Scientists and marine biologists(海洋生物学家) had something to celebrate last week when two lost humpback whales(座头鲸) returned to the Pacific Ocean. Delta and Dawn — a mother and a baby — had circled the Sacramento Bay area for two weeks before going back to the ocean.
"We all shouted loudly like ‘Yay’!"said Jim Oswald, a spokesman for the Marine Mammal Center. "It’s been really exciting."
The humpback whales were last spotted on May 29 near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California. Scientists are sure that the whales swam into open water during the evening of May 29 or early the next morning, since there have been no further sightings of the whales. Even so, boats were sent out to look for them, just in case the whales made another wrong turn.
Officials spent two weeks trying to get the whales to turn back towards the ocean. Biologists played recordings of whale-feeding as well as unfamiliar sounds to try to make the whales head back to the Pacific Ocean.
However, Delta and Dawn gave scientists an unexpected chance to study humpback whales in the wild. Scientists were able to gather sound recordings and watch their behaviors. This is especially exciting because humpback whales are an endangered species. What’s more, scientists don’t usually have the chance to observe (观察) them in their natural habitat.
"All those things are very hard to get," said Oswald,"So what we are doing is filling up the knowledge blank on humpback whales in the wild. " Scientists should be able to use this information to help other lost whales in the future.
【1】Jim Oswald was very happy because____________.
A.the whales traveled to Sacramento Bay
B.he found the lost humpback whales
C.the scientists held a great celebration
D.the whales returned to the Pacific Ocean
【2】In order to make the whales go back to the ocean, the biologists____________.
A.fed them with other animals
B.swam into open water
C.played music for them
D.played strange sounds to them
【3】What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Looking for the Lost Whales
B.Helping the Lost Whales
C.The Lost Whales Returned
D.Two Whales Were Lost
27、 Bornholm is a Danish island in the southern part of the Baltic Sea. At only 588 square kilometers, the island is home to about 40,000 people and welcomes around 600,000 visitors each year. The island is known for its sunny weather, round churches and rocky sea cliffs. But soon it hopes to make history for its lack of trash (垃圾).
Bornholm's only waste incineration (焚烧) plant is on its last legs, so instead of replacing it, the island has come up with another plan. "In 2032 there'll be no more waste on Bornholm," the island's waste management company announced. "All unwanted items are resources that can be recycled to the benefit of the entire community. "
The government doesn't yet know all the specifics of how the plan will work, but officials have laid out a basic outline. For example, they fancy citizens sorting waste into easily recyclable items such as metal, plastic, glass, paper and cardboard, and then plan to add new items such as fishing nets, insulation materials and more plastics to the recycling system. Organic waste, as well as garden and park waste, will be changed into energy, and the nutrient-rich waste from energy recovery will be used as fertilizer in fields, gardens and parks on the island.
Residents will be encouraged to make use of the sharing economy, lending and borrowing goods and services. They'll reuse everything from furniture to children's clothing, and businesses will repair a large number of items from bicycles to kitchen appliances. And elementary school students will be educated as "resource heroes" with practical, hands-on lessons about waste, resources, the environment and nature.
"Yet, in the waste area we were falling behind, so it was important for us to move ahead," Anne Thomas, the deputy mayor of Bornholm, tells National Geographic.
【1】What do we know about Bornholm?

A.Students will receive awards for protecting the environment.
B.The trash will be handled quickly and effectively.
C.Everything will be recycled, repaired or reused.
D.People will feed on nothing but organic food.
【3】What does Bornholm's basic outline focus on?

C.Developing the local economy. D.Appreciating the nature.
【4】Where is the text most likely from?
A.A biology textbook. B.A food brochure.

28、 Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut.” Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. ”She used to cuddle up with me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.”
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “ In fact, parents are first on the list.” Said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years.” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”
Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.
【1】What troubles Tina and Mark most is that______
A. their daughter isn't as lovely as before.
B. they can't read their daughter's mind exactly.
C. they don't know what to say to their daughter.
D. their daughter talks with them only when she needs help.
【2】Which of the following best explains ”the wall of silence” in the last paragraph?
A. Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.
B. Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.
C. Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.
D. Teenagers talk little about their own lives.
【3】What can be learned from the passage?
A. Parents are unhappy with their growing children.
B. Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.
C. Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers.
D. Parent should try to understand their teenagers.
29、 Camping is a great way to enjoy nature. You can breathe fresh air, cook over a campfire and sleep under the stars. However, camping also means various troubles, including dealing with bugs, bad weather and few, if any, toilets. 【1】But there is a way to enjoy the natural world without giving up the comforts at home. It’s called glamping, and interest in it has been growing since 2007!
Glamping, made up by joining the words glamorous(有魅力的) and camping, is a new word. 【2】Since around 600 B.C. Nomadic Mongolians have enjoyed the benefits of glamping. Their tents were so comfortable that they inspired the design of modern glamping tents!
There are many reasons why you should consider glamping for your next vacation. One of them is that glamping gives you access to some beautiful places. 【3】Nowadays, glamping can be less expensive than staying in a hotel, but you can still enjoy the modern comforts of a hotel!
【4】Glampsites often use eco-friendly materials and avoid using much plastic. So, there is less waste, and the area stays beautiful.
No matter what kind of experience you’re looking for, a glampsite exists for you. From Three Camel Lodge in Mongolia to Clayoquot Wilderness Resort in Canada, adventure is waiting for you. Sites can include a spa, a swimming pool and dinner under the stars. Activities can include exploring on horseback or camel and sightings of elephants, mountain sheep or tigers. 【5】
A.Every year a large number of people go camping.
B.You don’t have to give up beauty for comfort!
C.A wide variety of glamping experiences are available all over the world.
D.These troubles can discourage people from ever trying camping.
E.But it describes an activity that people have been doing for ages.
F.You can also help other campers.
G.Another reason to go glamping is that it’s good for the environment.
