26、“Ceci, wake up. It’s an earthquake!” That’s what Cecilia Wallace heard her mother shouting on the early morning of February 27th.
Cecilia is a 7th-grader. She, her parents and her brother, Sam, were in Chile’s capital city, Santiago, the day a big earthquake hit Chile. And like just about everyone else, they were shaken out of their sleep.
“It was so frightening,” Sam wrote. “The shaking was so huge that I will never go on a ride again.” Cecilia and Sam wrote about their earthquake experiences. Their reports were later posted on the website.
Cecilia, Sam and their parents were staying in an apartment on the 15th floor of a building. They were lucky. Their building stayed standing, because it was built to withstand earthquakes.
Not everyone was as lucky as the Wallace family. More than 800 people died. Many older buildings fell down during the earthquake.
The damage in Santiago wasn’t as bad as in other parts of Chile. So the supermarkets were open for business on the morning of the quake. But it wasn’t business as usual. “The supermarkets have been crazy with people rushing to buy their food for the next while,” Sam wrote.
Not everyone was able to get money to buy food that morning. So Cecilia and Sam made food bags to distribute to people who were begging outside the supermarket. “We gave some to a kid of my age. I made sure he got cookies and bread.” Sam and Cecilia’s mother wrote that the kids also collected money for the Red Cross.
It’s certainly an experience Cecilia, Sam and their parents will never forget. Thankfully, they lived to tell their stories.
【1】What was Cecilia doing when the earthquake happened?
A.Walking in the street.
B.Having class at school.
C.Sleeping in bed.
D.Playing with Sam in a park.
【2】The underlined word “distribute” probably means “_____”.
A.give out B.throw away C.give up D.sell out
【3】Why were Cecilia and her family able to survive the earthquake?
A.Because they escaped before their building fell down.
B.Because they managed to escape from the fallen building.
C.Because they were helped out of the fallen building by others.
D.Because the building they were living in was strong enough.
【4】From the text we can see Cecilia is a _____ girl.
A.humorous B.kind-hearted C.brave D.selfish
【5】How can we know more about Cecilia’s experiences in the earthquake?
A.By watching TV.
B.By getting online.
C.By listening to the radio.
D.By reading newspapers.
27、A famous company’s leader believes there’s only one way to know if you truly understand a subject: Can you explain it to a child? But the man with lifelong love of math recently found it didn’t always go well when he tried explaining mathematical concepts(概念)to his then-school-aged children.
He thinks that learning with kids to see what’s puzzling to them and what’s easy for them are the final test of whether you know a topic—whether you can explain it.
Teachers often ask students to give a statement on a subject to show that they understand it. Studies show that people are more likely to remember and understand concepts they’ve learned after explaining them to someone else or even to themselves.That means you can testyour own knowledge in a subject simply by trying to teach it to a friend,to see both how much information you’ve kept and how well you actually understand its concepts. If they successfully learn from you, it’s a good sign that you’re on the right track.
The leader, who studied math and computer science at university, noted that while hewas personally good at math as a high school student, he had trouble passing that enthusiasm(热情)to his three kids.
He loves doing math, but in the past his younger daughter would always say that he made it so complicated (复杂的) and he didn’t need to explain this to her. Because she just wanted to know the answer.
Today, his three children are all in their 20s.While they may not have enjoyed the math lessons, he says that one of his favorite things is teaching calculus(微积分)to the kids.There are a few very difficult concepts in calculus.He must explain why calculus is so important and why calculus has those funny symbols. It’s crazy and it’s probably the thing he enjoys the most.
【1】What happened to the leader recently?
A.He explained Chinese well.
B.He developed his lifelong love of math.
C.He met a challenge in playing with his kids.
D.He had trouble explaining mathematical concepts to his kids.
【2】What does the author encourage people to do in paragraph 3?
A.Communicate with others actively.
B.Build relationship with others.
C.Manage to describe themselves.
D.Know about their own learning by teaching others.
【3】What did the leader’s younger daughter care about?
A.Describing an example.
B.Learning with her father.
C.Getting the final answer.
D.Keeping enthusiasm high.
【4】What does the leader think of his teaching calculus to his children?
A.It brings him happiness.
B.It helps his kids grow.
C.It gives him a lesson.
D.It improves his maths.
28、“There is nothing noble (高尚的) in being superior (优秀的) to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.” —— Ernest Hemingway
As Hemingway says, self-improvement is a noble process. 【1】 Much of who we are is determined by how we relate with others around us. When we seek to improve ourselves, we can also make our relationships with others better.
【2】 If you have a good self-image, then others are likely to relate to you in a positive way. When people see a self-controlled and confident individual, they are likely to be affected in a positive way. And this can result in a more optimistic and constructive relationship.
Only when you have accepted who you are can you grow. If you continuously fight against yourself, you won’t have the emotional energy you need to better yourself. If you wish to get on with people better, then you may start by accepting yourself. 【3】
If you are on a personal path that is going upwards, then you are likely to find a friend or partner who is also seeking to better themselves and their circumstances. 【4】
Focusing on your good qualities and attempting to protect and improve these characteristics will help you become a better person. 【5】 When you stop damaging who you are, you are likely to avoid ruining relationships and this can lead to longer and more meaningful connections with others.
A.People with similar mind attract one another.
B.When you feel confident, you keep calm.
C.It will also stop you from damaging yourself.
D.The way you view yourself affects how others view you.
E.This will probably help you become a successful person.
F.People like to be around individuals who like and accept themselves.
G.It can help us learn about who we are and enable us to be better people.
