26、 Five American teenagers were officially named the 2018 National Student Poets on Thursday at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. The award is the highest honor for young poets in the United States and the students represent states from all over the country. The teenagers were first chosen in August from among thousands of award-winning young poets in the United States
Virginia McEnery leads the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, which plays a part in choosing the national student poets. She says poetry is powerful because it is open to everyone. “It’s so democratic, you don’t need more than a pencil and piece of paper and everyone likes it.” McEnery says she hopes the national student poet program will support the winners not only as writers, but as activists
Many of the student poets have already held literary leadership positions, McEnery said. “For many of them, they are working for their library or they’ re running the literary magazine for their school or one of them is actually in the scholastic awards program for her state.”
As national student poets, the five young people will give presentations, performances and training on poetry and literature. They will also improve the services of libraries and museums, and volunteer in their communities. In addition, each poet will receive an award of $5,000 and the opportunity to learn from poet and teacher Glenis Redmond. And, they will meet with Tracy K. Smith, the current poet laureate(桂冠诗人) for the United States.
McEenery says she has seen for herself how programs to support students’ creative expression can change young people’s lives. “It’s such a hard time to be a teenager, social movements are happening in real time as they are growing up. What better, smarter, wiser thing can a young person do than try to write about it?”
【1】What does the underlined word “democratic” in paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A.special B.useful C.popular D.interesting
【2】Which of the following statements is NOT correct?
A.The award is the highest honor for young poets in the world.
B.The five young people will improve the services of library and museums.

D.The teenagers were first selected from among many award-winning young poets in USA.

27、Lu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20th century. Besides his famous stories, he also wrote many influential articles about the living conditions of Chinese people.
Born in 1881 to a wealthy family, Lu Xun had a happy childhood. In 1893, however, his grandfather, a senior government official, was put into prison for taking money. At the same time, his father became seriously ill. From that time on, his family were no longer accepted by their relatives and friends. These early experiences greatly influenced his writing.
By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899, he already believed that Chinese society had to change and become modern. In 1902 he went to study in Japan. There, he began writing articles for several Chinese student magazines. He showed a gift for writing and translating and he even wrote several books, although none was popular. He returned to China in 1909 because he was in need of money.
After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing, Lu Xun again returned to writing. In 1918, he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Madman. It was the first Chinese novel published using the everyday language that people spoke, which helped make it a great success. This, together with his novel The True Story of Ah Q (1921), made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer.
Although successful, Lu Xun still worried greatly about China’s future. In 1926, he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote himself to what he called “pen warfare”. He now only wrote articles which called on the people to fight against the government. For this, the government stopped him from publishing any more books. He was forced to write his articles using false names.
Since his death in 1936, Lu Xun’s importance and influence have grown. Today, many of his writings are included in school textbooks and his works are read by millions around the world.
【1】Which of the following greatly influenced Lu Xun’s writing according to the passage?
A. The people he met in Japan.

29、More and more birds are flying to settle at Qinghai Lake, one of the highest inland lakes in China, thanks to the protection efforts of local governments. Covering an area of over 4,000 square kilometers. Qinghai Lake is also the country's biggest saltwater lake. Located in Northwest China's Qinghai Province, the lake is famous for the two islands at its northwest point--Cormorant Island and Egg Island. The two islands have plenty of floating grass and various schools of fish, offering rich food sources for birds. The islands have become a paradise(天堂) for different kinds of groups of birds and have been called"Bird Islands".

Inspection(视察) officials and management employees often patrol(巡逻) the lake, improving local residents' knowledge of related laws and spreading knowledge about animal protection to visitors. They are making great efforts to call on people to love and protect the birds. At the same time, they have built special fences around the island area to prevent wolves, foxes and other carnivorous(食肉的) animals, as well as illegal hunters from breaking up the birds’nest building,egglaying and breeding.
