26、   My mother, a nurse at Stony Brook University Hospital, worked at night so that she could come home in time to send me to school. She’d sleep during the day and be ready when we returned home before heading out again in the evening. This went on for 23 years. She never complained (抱怨). No matter how tired she was, she always had enough energy to be my mom

She often had to work on holidays, even on New Year’s Eve, which made me unhappy. However, before holidays she always decorated the inside and outside of our house. She’d also have cookies baked in the oven, a holiday-themed movie in the VCR, and music playing throughout our house for us. But when it was time to go to work, there was no room for debate. “Why do you have to work on this day of all days?” I’d ask sadly. “They need me, too, dear son.” She’d say.

For a long time I didn’t understand why she should care so much about those sick strangers. Recently, as my grandmother became ill, I found myself spending more time in the hospital. The scenes I saw in the hospital made me see the different side of my mother. The nurses checked the heart, blood and oxygen levels to make sure patients were comfortable. They lifted patients in and out of bed and helped them to the bathroom. Beyond their duties, the nurses showed consideration (体贴) for each patient.

What I saw helped me understand why my mother was devoted to her occupation (职业). I was filled with more admiration for my mother.

【1】Why did the author’s mother work in the evening?

A.To decorate their house. B.To enjoy a movie.

C.To take him to school. D.To sleep during the day.

【2】What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?

A.The author wished his mother could stay home on holidays.

B.The mother loved her patients more than her son.

C.Nurses are paid a double salary working on holidays.

D.Only people with mercy on patients would make good nurses.

【3】What made the author really understand his mother’s work?

A.The things his mother did during holiday.

B.His mother’s tiredness after work.

C.His mother’s helping patients to the bathroom.

D.What he saw when he looked after his sick grandma in the hospital.

27、You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But do you know there are such people with the name of   "banana person"? How strange! Are these people from "another planet"? No. They are just Chinese people like you and me.

ABC means American—born—Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a "banana person". A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So, a “banana person” is white inside--thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside-looking like a Chinese.

Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them do not speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics. But if ABC cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas Chinese. These people may be citizens of another country, like the US, England or

Canada, but they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the People's Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C.N.Yang. He got the Noble Prize in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.

29、Microplastic pollution is increasing dramatically around the globe, according to a study of airborne (空气传播的) plastic particles (粒子).

People are already known to breathe, drink and eat microplastics, and research suggests that pollution levels will continue to rise rapidly. The researchers said that breathing in these particles can damage lung tissue and lead to serious diseases.

Professor Natalie Mahowald, at Cornell University in the US and part of the research team, said, “But maybe we could solve this before it becomes a huge problem, if we manage our plastics better, before they accumulate (积聚) in the environment and move around quickly everywhere.”

The research, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, examined airborne microplastics, which have been far less studied than plastic in oceans and rivers.

The team gathered more than 300 samples of airborne microplastics from 11 sites across the western US. These were the basis for atmospheric modeling that estimated (估计) the contribution from different sources, and was the first such study to do so.

They found that roads were the main factor in the western US, linked to about 85 percent of the microplastics in the air. These are likely to include particles from tires on vehicles, and plastics from litter that had been broken down.

The researchers enlarged their modeling work to a global level and this suggested that while roads are also likely to be the main driver of airborne plastics in Europe, South America and Australia, plastic particles blown up from fields may be a much bigger factor in Africa and Asia.

Professor Andreas Stohl of the University of Vienna’s Faculty of Earth Sciences, and not part of the study team, said, “The study confirms the global-scale nature of microplastic transport in the atmosphere and does a good job in highlighting highly relevant and concerning possibilities, but more measurement data is needed to get a better idea of the sources.”

【1】What did the researchers find out about airborne plastic pollution?

A．Its impact varies on different continents.

B．Public transportation takes responsibility for it.

C．Its main driver differs across continents.

D．Africa is suffering the most from the pollution.

【2】According to Professor Andreas Stohl, what is the next step of the study?

A．To predict the possible damages of microplastics.

B．To get more data to understand the sources of microplastics.

C．To understand the nature of airborne plastic pollution globally.

D．To improve the method of collecting samples of microplastics.

【3】What could be the best title for the text?

A．Effects of microplastics on human health

B．Possible solutions to microplastic pollution

C．Microplastic pollution on the global scale

D．Microplastic pollution rising rapidly in the air

【4】Which section of the newspaper may this article be found in?

A．Society.

B．Nature.

C．Health.

D．Science.

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。

When Donald Crouch first encountered Jim in his English class in rural Michigan, he saw an unhappy boy, who’d gone deep into a cocoon (茧) of silence.

Donald might have assumed that Jim was bored or uninterested or even backward. Certainly, he appeared to be all of those things.

But there was something in the young boy that lit up whenever the subject turned to poetry. It was unnoticeable, but Donald could see a shift in the boy ‘s attitude--a quiet but unmistakable enthusiasm that accompanied any discussion of Chaucer, Shakespeare, or Tennyson. A twinkle in his eyes would appear whenever Donald lectured on matters of English verse, something which proved to be most appealing to the otherwise disappointed teacher. Although Jim was interested in all manners of poetry, he seemed particularly excited when Donald would discuss Walt Whitman, that greatest of American poets.

One day Donald kept Jim after school and learned that Jim stuttered ( 口吃). Donald understood that Jim had accepted the written word because the spoken word had escaped him. The next day, Donald told the pupils to write a poem. Jim turned his assignment in, and Donald was surprised by how good it was.

The teacher read the assignment over and over again in disbelief and, truth be told, with a little bit of envy; how could a student from the middle of nowhere come up with something like this? He turned his head once again to the boy and began to have an idea.

Donald had noticed earlier that Jim’s stutter disappeared whenever he quoted his favorite poets out loud .

The whole class turned their attention to Jim.
