26、The State of California is depending on its forests to help cut down planet-warming CO2. But that climate-change strategy may be risky, as new research from the University of California, Irvine(UCI)reports that trees in California’s mountains and open spaces are dying from wildfires and other pressures — and fewer new trees are filling the blank.

“The forests are not keeping up with these large fires,” said study co-author James Randerson, the Ralph J. and Carol M. Cicerone Professor of Earth system science at UCI. Acrossthe whole state, tree cover area has dropped 6.7% since 1985. “These are big changes in lessthan forty years,” he said. It’s the first time that researchers have been able to measure tree population fall in California, and find out the reasons(wildfires and woodcutting).

For the study, the UCI-led team used satellite data from the USGS and NASA’s Landsat mission to study plant changes between 1985 and 2021. They found that one of the most obvious falls in tree cover was in southern California, where 14% of the tree population in local mountain had disappeared, maybe everlastingly.

“The ability. of forests to recover(恢复)from fire appears to be dwindling in the south,” said Jonathan Wang, a researcher in Randerson’s research group, who led the study coming out in AGU Advances. “At the same time, the state’s coverage of bushes and grasses is rising, which could mean more everlasting ecosystem shifts(生态系统转化).”

“The speed and scale of fall in tree cover is different across the state. Tree cover in the Sierra Nevada, for example, stayed relatively unchanged until around 2010, then began dropping suddenly. Fortunately, in the north, there’s plenty of recovery after fire,” said Wang, perhaps because of the area’s higher rainfall and cooler temperatures. “This threat(威胁) to California’s climate solutions isn’t going away anytime soon,” Wang said. “We might be entering a new age of bigger fire and vulnerable(易受损的) forests.”

【1】What mainly helped California cut down CO2?

A．Rich forests.

B．Less vehicles.

C．Energy saving.

D．Fine weather.

【2】What has caused the drop of tree cover in the past few years?

A．Poor soil.

B．Continual floods.

C．High demand for farmland and food.

D．Large wildfires and people’s cutting trees.

【3】What does the underlined word “dwindling” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Suitable.

B．Falling.

C．Obvious.

D．Boring.

【4】Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A．California’s trees will die out in the future

B．California’s environment will face a big challenge

C．The reasonfor California wildfires has been found out

D．Wildfires seriously threaten California’s tree cover

27、   It’s nothing new that you can find many files or services you can download or use from the Internet. The question is: Is downloading legal or not? In most cases the answer is negative, because sharing and downloading are illegal. Of course, you can find files for legal downloading, but you have to pay for them.

It seems innocent if you click on the download mark, but it isn’t. It should be compared with stealing in a store. Would you steal a magazine, an MP3player or a car? Downloading from the Internet is a theft, and sharing files, once you have stolen them, only makes it wore. For example, if everybody only downloaded, movies wouldn’t make money and the studios wouldn’t invest millions of dollars to make new ones.

Many people may think it better, easier and cheaper to do downloading. I think, that is the main reason why Internet users prefer sharing something to buying them. In the modern world we love convenience and what could be more convenient than getting music, films and games without having to leave your house? You don’t need to pay for what you get, there is no registration, and you don’t have to wait until shops open or the CD/DVD you want is posted to you. However, you could be in big trouble if you are caught. You could go to prison as a result of acting unlawfully, but so far only a tiny amount of people have been charged for downloading illegally. The majority of people who download illegally, and use the files for their personal use, will not get in trouble. And that's why it’s important for people to understand what the long-term consequences are if they don’t want to pay for their music, films and TV. Will film and music companies still spend millions of pounds every year if they have no chance of making a profit? The answer is plainly “no”.

Finally I would like to say that the Internet offers a lot of services for money, but people will always try to get them for free. To summarize my thoughts, I’d like to highlight that illegal downloading is both unfair towards producers and dangerous for those who practice this kind of activity. You have to decide whether to buy or download.

【1】Many people download files free from the Internet because ________.

A.they follow others’ examples to do such things

B.they don’t think they may be charged by the producer

C.they think everything on the Net can be shared by others

D.they think it is legal, convenient and easy

【2】What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?

A.Downloading helps movies become more popular.

B.Downloading free files is as illegal as stealing.

C.Sharing files on the Internet is dangerous.

D.Sharing files on the Internet can make a profit.

【3】What does the underlined word “highlight” in paragraph 4 mean?

A.Stress. B.Explain. C.Admit. D.Deny.

【4】What is the author’s purpose of writing this text?

A.He advises readers to download legal files.

B.He asks readers to limit the amount of free downloading.

C.He wants to make it clear that downloading for free is against the law.

D.He tells readers how to avoid being charged for downloading.

28、   When our professor Dr. Dressel outlined the requirements of the term paper, he sounded especially terrible, so I recalled another classroom nightmare, Mrs. Grace from Forsyth High. I could still picture her neat script in the margins of my papers, carefully listing each of my grammatical shortcoming in bright blue ink.

“One of these days,” she was fond of saying, “you’ll find that what you’re learning here will be useful.” Few of us believed her, but that didn’t discourage her from relentless training in composition repeatedly. At the slightest protest, her dark eyes would flash, “You’ll find that the real world is far more demanding than my term papers, but meanwhile they can help prepare you for it!”

When Dr. Dressel handed back my papers, an A+ stood out on the page. I disbelieved. I even bent over for a closer look. Professor Dessel, standing next to my table, said, “your term paper is among the finest by a junior student. It tells me that somewhere along the line you had a remarkable English teacher. You should go to that teacher and express your gratitude.”

On the evening, I forced myself up to the Mrs. Grace’s house. The woman who answered the door was far different from the Mrs. Grace I remembered. She was pale and frowning. I gave my term paper into her hands. She glanced at it, then looked back at me wondering.

“My professor knew someone like you was responsible for my paper and”, I stammered, “I just wanted to thank you. I really appreciate all you did for me.”

Mrs. Grace began to cry. “You’re the first person ever to thank me,” she sobbed. “This has been such a hard year. I’ve been sick all fall, but your visit has done me more good than all the medicine I’ve taken. God bless you!” She threw her arms around me and hugged me hard. Then we both shed some tears.

“I’m so glad you stopped by,” she said.

“So am I!” I replied.

Never again have I been reluctant to express gratitude.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE about the term paper the author had?

A.The author’s professor had strict requirements of it.

B.The author’s term paper was not well written.

C.The author was not to blame for his academic performance.

D.The author didn’t get any help from the professor.

【2】The underline word in Paragraph 2 probably means _____________.

A.重复的 B.严苛的 C.大量的 D.无效的

【3】How did the author feel when asked to go to Mr. Grace’s house?

A.He regretted not listening to her class carefully.

B.He was unwilling to do so at first.

C.He was proud that he had finished the term paper.

D.He hardly appreciated what Mrs. Grace had done.

【4】What does the story mainly want to tell us?

A.Always prepare for the demanding real world.

B.We should express gratitude to those who help us.

C.It is important to be willing to communicate.

D.People should insist on doing what they think is right.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。

Charles lived a lonely life after his wife passed away. Unfortunately, he lost his son in a car accident months after losing his wife, so he had nobody in his life he could call family.

He was a millionaire businessman before he sold his company to live a life away from chaos. He had a large house and lots of money, but he was lonely and sad.

One summer morning, Charles was reading newspaper in the living room when he heard his neighbor, Mrs. Francis, talking with someone. He went to the front door and opened it to see what was going on. He noticed a well-dressed boy standing in Mrs. Francis’ doorway.

“Please, madam,” the boy begged. “I need the money. I’m not lying.” “But you don’t look like someone who needs to beg for a living! How can I give you money?” replied Mrs. Francis. Charles saw the boy’s head dropped and that his face looked sad. Not wanting to judge the boy without knowing the whole story, Charles asked from his doorstep, “Hey, there! Can I help you?”

The boy raised his head and dashed to Charles’ door. “Yes, sir! I’m George. I’m eight years old. I’m going from door to door asking for donations to pay for my mother’s operation. But your neighbor didn’t believe me. She thought I was skipping school to ask for money. I promise I’ll not waste your money! Can you help me?” he asked sincerely.

“But she was not totally wrong, dear,” Charles said, staring at the kid. “Aren’t you supposed to be in class at this hour?” The boy replied he was spending his summer holidays. After a brief pause, he sighed, “I tried looking for work, but everyone said I’m too young. My mother needs operation two weeks later, so I want to collect money for her. I’m planning to give her the money on her birthday next week so that she can be happy and healthy soon.”

Charles asked, “Well, how about working for me? All you have to do is help me a little around the house and get groceries for me. In return, I’ll pay you. Deal?”

Paragraph 1:

George happily nodded and said, “Deal! Can I start to work today?”
