26、   Gracie Bucher desired to qualify (获得资格) for the state cross country meet as she started the section race in Luverne. As a 7th grader, she finished just two places back from qualifying for state.

Yet there she was, early in the race, her legs feeling extremely heavy. “I have to keep fighting for it,” Gracie told herself. She pushed on. But as she approached the finish line, she lost her balance and feel to the ground. She pulled herself up and then fell again.

Gracie’s mother watched it all, separated from her daughter by a rope and a row of the audience. “Extremely painful” is how Missy Kuntz describes it. Missy wanted to run to her daughter, but “I was told, ‘You can’t go out,’ and ‘You can’t touch her.’”

Under rules enforced by the Minnesota State High School League, one runner assisting another runner means disqualification for both.

Gracie continued to struggle, until a strange competitor had seen enough. Liana Blomgren, a former state qualifier from another school, saw Gracie fall. “I knew she wasn’t going to get to the finish line by herself.” Liana says. She pulled Gracie to her feet, and supported her weight as the competitors crossed the finish line together. At the end of the day, they both were disqualified.

Kyle Blomgren, Liana’s dad and coach, believes his daughter did what others should have. “I don’t think an athlete on the field in that condition should be surrounded by a group of bystanders,” Kyle says. “And it took an 18-year-old girl to step in and help.”

Due in part to previous incidents like Gracie’s, the national organization overseeing the meet recently ruled that a runner who stops to assist a competitor will not be disqualified, so long as a medical care provider is not available. Too late for Liana, but she’s already made peace with her disqualification.

【1】What do we know about Gracie?

A．She cared little about success.

B．She showed great determination.

C．She lacked confidence in herself.

D．She set a good example of teamwork.

【2】Why did Missy feel so painful at the time?

A．Gracie was going to lose the race.

B．She was deeply hurt by the audience.

C．She was not allowed to rescue Gracie.

D．Gracie was unwilling to accept her help.

【3】What does Kyle think of his daughter’s act?

A．It is praiseworthy.

B．It is abnormal.

C．It is instant.

D．It is unexpected.

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．Events like Gracie’s are on the rise.

B．More medical care providers are needed.

C．A change has been made to race rules.

D．Liana’s disqualification will be reviewed.

27、   Birthdays often involve surprises. But this year's surprise on the birthday of the great British playwright William Shakespeare is surely one of the most dramatic.

On April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts discovered that one of the most recognizable portraits of William Shakespeare is a fake. This means that we no longer have a good idea of what Shakespeare looked like. “It's very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare might be unreliable because many of them are copies of this one,” said an expert from Britain's National Portrait Gallery.

The discovery comes after four months of testing using X-rays, ultraviolet light, microphotography and paint samples. The experts from the gallery say the image —commonly known as the “Flower portrait”— was actually painted in the 1800s, about two centuries after Shakespeare's death. The art experts who work at the gallery say they also used modern chemistry technology to check the paint on the picture. These checks found traces of paint dating from about 1814. Shakespeare died in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609.

“We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was when there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare's plays,” Tarnya Cooper, the gallery's curator （馆长）, told the Associated President.

The fake picture has often been used as a cover for collections of his plays. It is called the Flower portrait because one of its owners, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare Company.

“There have always been questions about the painting,” said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company. “Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture. ”

Two other images of Shakespeare, are also being studied as part of the investigation and the results will come out later this month. ________.

【1】What makes the birthday of Shakespeare dramatic this year?

A.It was found that he painted a portrait in 1814 instead of in 1609.

B.The Flower portrait has been found to be a fake.

C.Three portraits of Shakespeare are being tested to identify a real one.

D.It was found that there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare's plays around 1818 to 1840.

【2】Which statement is True according to the passage?

A.Portraits of Shakespeare are all unreliable.

B.“Flower portrait” was a portrait of Shakespeare given to Desmond Flower.

C.1814 might be when the portrait was drawn.

D.The Flower portrait is not often used as a cover for Shakespeare's play.

【3】The best title for this passage is ________.

A.Birthdays often involve surprises

B.The surprise on the 441st birthday of Shakespeare

C.One portrait of Shakespeare is a fake

D.How can we know Shakespeare's appearance?

【4】Which is the best sentence to fill in the blank in the last paragraph?

A.Soon we'll know which portrait is reliable.

B.Maybe we cannot find a real portrait of Shakespeare.

C.If the two portraits are found to be false, they will test more.

D.For now what Shakespeare really looked like will remain a mystery.

28、Sharon, Aged 22

The most important thing to keep in mind when you’re going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you have already had in one night. It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.

Frank, Aged 21

I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!

Eddie, Aged 20

When I started high school, I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.

David, Aged 19

I’m not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; some students may pick on（故意刁难）you more if you let them know you’re afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week, it’s really not bad at all. Don’t worry.

【1】What can we learn from Sharon’s words about high school?

A．Teachers are quite strict.

B．Students often stay up at night.

C．Teachers provide little care for students.

D．Students should learn to manage their time.

【2】How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school?

A．Excited.

B．Bored.

C．Anxious.

D．Relaxed.

【3】Who mentions the importance of friends?

A．Frank.

B．David.

C．Sharon.

D．Eddie.

29、“Baby signing” classes established to improve language skills actually make little difference to children's development, according to new research. Scholars claimed there was no evidence that the lessons—in which babies are taught simple gestures to communicate their everyday needs—enable children to talk quicker than others.

In a three-year study, it was claimed that the method could make mothers more responsive to their children's behaviors but failed to actually increase babies' vocabulary. An active home environment in which parents regularly talk to their children was much more effective, researchers warmed. The findings will cast doubt on the movement—born in the United States—which has proved hugely popular among middle-class parents.

Baby signing is now a multi-million pound industry, with thousands of mothers and fathers paying for classes, books and DVDs. Young children are taught simple gestures for words and phrases to communicate their everyday needs, such as “milk” “more” “all gone” “food” and “tired". It is claimed that the technique brings great benefits, including improving the relationship between mother and child, helping language development and even increasing a child's intelligence.

But research from Hertfordshire University has found no evidence that using baby signing helps to improve their language development. The scholars added, “Baby signing has become big business and mothers, particularly first-time mums or less confident parents, feel the pressure to do it. Some even think ‘if I don't do it and everyone else does, I must be a bad mother’.”

Nevertheless, baby signing experts hardly sustained the findings. Wendy Moat, 45, who has been running baby signing classes for three years, said that the classes encouraged speech development, and may help develop a higher IQ. She said, “So many mums say that their children talk so well because they did baby signing when they were babies. Parents wouldn't say it if they didn't believe it."

【1】Which of the following may help improve children's language skills？

A．Using simple words and phrases.

B．Talking to them as much as possible.

C．Buying them more books and DVDs.

D．Creating a serious home environment.

【2】According to Paragraph 4, some new mothers choose baby signing classes in that ________.

A．they are influenced by others

B．they are sure of the effects of them

C．they don't want to be looked down upon

D．they don't know how to teach their children

【3】The underlined word “sustained" in the last paragraph means “________”

A．dislike

B．resist

C．approved of

D．figured out

【4】What's the main idea of the text？

A．How to teach children to communicate effectively.

B．Baby signing classes increase children's intelligence.

C．How to improve the relationship between mother and child.

D．Baby signing classes fail to improve children's language skills.

30、   When I heard my name pronounced by the teacher, I knew what lay ahead. She called me to the whiteboard to ______ a long division ( 除 法 ) problem. Math was my ______ subject. When doing a long division problem, I always ______ put the numbers in the wrong places, or forgot to add in the zeros.

As I ______ the whiteboard, I looked at the blonde haired girl next to me, trying to ______ what she was writing. ______ I tried my best, she went faster than I could understand. Impossible to understand. Why me? Why couldn’t I wrap my mind around this strange concept that all the other kids could understand? Why, even when I ______ my hardest to deal with the division problems?

Why? Why? I kept asking myself.

I ______ back salty tears and wrote some numbers randomly (随便地) on the board. The teacher read over our answers silently.

“Now, class, Susie did this problem absolutely correctly.”

“As for Tara,” the teacher said, ______ her eyes, “Gosh, I don’t even know what she did.”

The class burst into ______, and I felt my face turned red as I tried to sink as low as possible into my seat, hoping to ______ them from seeing me at all. However, after class my teacher wrote me a note, saying, “No one will care how you feel, unless you ______ yourself to succeed.”

This ______ from middle school is the most impressive and the only one I can remember. The experience made me feel stronger, and gave me determination. When I get a ______ grade in school, or I am put down by somebody, I think of that moment and every single one of those whys that I asked myself, which gives me the willingness to ______ all of those whys and continue until perfection, or as close as I can.

Hunger

When I was a young boy, my mother would place spoonfuls of vegetables onto my plate whether I wanted them or not and the rule in our family was that we always had to clean our plates. However, I rarely saw my mother eat the vegetables herself. She always served us first. She seemed never hungry.

She worked for a rich lady in town, and I always assumed that the reason why she didn’t have our tasteless meals was that she had eaten meats and sweets in the rich lady’s kitchen. Our meals were boring, and there was never enough since there were ten of us — my parents plus eight children.

One afternoon my older sisters were sick, so they couldn’t take care of me. Therefore, my mother had no choice but to bring me with her. It was a long winter day and as my father hadn’t had much work, we had even less food than usual. So I was very excited to go to the rich woman’s house.

My mother placed me in a corner while she rolled out pie crust (饼皮). Then she cooked some meat, and by the afternoon, the pleasant smell filled the kitchen and was making its way into my empty stomach. Then, a bell rang in the kitchen and my mother told me, “Don’t move” and then left.

I tried to do as told, but then I thought it wouldn’t matter if I ate just one blackberry. So I put a single blackberry into my mouth. What an explosion of flavor! The wonderful taste hitting my empty stomach was more than I could handle! Soon I was throwing blackberries into my mouth with two hands! It wasn’t until I was staring at the empty bowl that I noticed the empty, unbaked pie crust sitting on the table waiting for the berries. I looked around for more berries, but there was none. Suddenly, I heard footsteps approaching, so I quickly hid into the cupboard (碗柜).
