26、When Ariel Cordova reached Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens, New York, last November, she planned to go hiking and bird-watching. A mile into her walk, she noticed a beautiful female mute swan（疣鼻天鹅）near the water’s edge. Cordova, who had worked at the Wild Bird Fund recovery center in Manhattan, knew that swans can attack people. But strangely, as she got close to this one, it didn’t move. So she was certain that the bird was ill and needed medical attention. Cordova put her jacket over the bird’s head to keep it calm, carefully picked it up, and held it in her arms. And then a thought came to her: What do I do now?

Her best choice was the Wild Bird Fund recovery center, but that was on the other side of town. How was she going to transport a 17-pound swan on foot all that way? Luckily, a stranger offered her a bike and then she took the swan to a nearby subway station by bike.

On the subway, no one seemed to be astounded by the feathered passenger. “Even one guy, who was sitting right in front of me, just gave the swan a calm glance,” says Cordova.

Cordova called the recovery center, and Tristan, an animal-care manger, picked her up at the subway station and drove the bird to the recovery center. There, staff members decided that the swan might have been hurt by a fish hook.

The staff looked after the swan carefully and got it back up on its webbed feet. The swan even made a boyfriend in the center. Sadly, it had a bacterial infection. Two months after Cordova came to its rescue, it passed away.

It’s a disappointing ending, but the real story is just how far some people are willing to go to save a swan in the big city literally（确实地）. In all, Cordova traveled two hours by bike by subway, and by car to save it with endless efforts. Tristan says, “We are angels of love. That’s the perfect summary of who we are. I firmly believe that we will continue to save wildlife.”

【1】Why did Cordova decide that the swan was ill?

A．It behaved unnaturally.

B．It moved up and down.

C．It attacked her.

D．It stood near the water’s edge.

【2】What does the underlined word “astounded” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．moved.

B．disappointed.

C．amused.

D．shocked

【3】What happened to the swan?

A．It survived a bacterial infection.

B．It was badly poisoned by the river water.

C．It died though it had been cared well.

D．It was sent to the recovery center by two strangers.

【4】Which of the following can best describe Cordova?

A．Kind and considerate.

B．Modest and thankful.

C．Brave and generous.

D．Curious and creative.

27、According to a report from the Ministry of Public Security. Yichen (奕辰) and Yinuo (一诺) are the most popular names for newborns in 2020. More than 14,000 boys were named Yichen while over 24,000 girls were given the name Yinuo.
