26、The Bermuda Triangle is an area in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, near Florida in the USA, where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared mysteriously.

① The earliest suggestion of unusual disappearances in the Bermuda area appeared in a September 17, 1950 article. Two years later, Fatemagazine published “Sea Mystery at Our Back Door”, covering the loss of several planes and ships, including the loss of Fight 19. Flight 19 alone would be covered again in the April 1962 issue of American Legion magazine. In it, author Allan W. Eckert wrote that the flight leader had been heard saying, “We are entering white water. Nothing seems right. We don’t know where we are.” In the February 1964, the article “The Deadly Bermuda Triangle” argued that Flight 19 and other disappearances were just part of strange events in the area.

② Triangle writers have used a number of supernatural ideas to explain the events. One explanation refers to leftover technology from the mysterious lost continent of Atlantis. Some of the Triangle writers related the events to UFOs. This idea was used by Steven Spielberg for his science fiction filmClose Encounters of the Third Kind, in which the lost Flight 19 aircrews were taken by aliens.

③ But there are also some explanation relating to nature. One of them for some of the disappearances has focused on large fields of a type of natural gas on the continental shelves. Laboratory experiments carried out in Australia have proven that bubbles can sink a large ship by decreasing the density（密度）of the water; any remains rising to the surface would quickly disappear due to the Gulf Stream. It has been assumed that the eruption of volcanoes（火山）may produce large areas of bubbles so that water is no longer able to provide enough supporting power for ships. If this were the case, such an area forming around a ship could cause it to sink very rapidly and without any warning.

④ Violent weather is likely to be another reason. Powerful storms forming in tropical（热带的）waters have caused thousands of deaths and caused billions of dollars in damage. These storms have in the past caused a number of incidents related to the Triangle.

【1】According to the passage, the loss of Flight 19 was first covered   .

A. in 1950   B. in 1952

C. in 1962   D. in 1964

【2】The sentence “Persons accepting the Bermuda Triangle as a ‘Death Triangle’ have offered a number of ways to explain it.” should be put in   .

A. ①   B. ②

C. ③   D. ④

【3】According to paragraph 4, the direct reason for the disappearance of ships is   .

A. a type of natural gas   B. large areas of bubbles

C. the eruption of volcanoes   D. the decrease of water density

27、Have you ever always wanted to lie in bed and do totally nothing else, and just stay lazy and not worry about any of your responsibilities? We all feel lazy and uninspired from time to time. 【1】 Actually, it’s normal (正常的) to feel like that! But take care that you are probably suffering from depression (抑郁症) more than just laziness. Here are some warning signs of depression.

【2】 You may usually get in a sense of laziness when you’re overly stressed or if you’ve been working too hard for too long. And there are a lot of tips you can use to deal with it, like making a to-do list, listening to inspiring talks, or setting achievable goals. But when it’s depression, it’s of course not something you can just shake off or get out of easily, no matter what other people tell you.

You can’t cheer yourself up. Do you often struggle with feelings of unexplained loneliness, sadness, and hopelessness? Do you feel tired all the time and hardly have any energy? 【3】 You’d better have a self-check and decide if it is a serious medical illness.

You’ve lost interest in everything once you enjoyed. 【4】 So if you’ve found that your laziness has made you lose interest or pleasure in everything, including school and work, then it is certain that something is seriously wrong with your mental (心理的) health.

If you or anyone you know is experiencing serious feelings of depression, don’t hesitate (犹豫). 【5】

A．You just can’t get yourself out of it.

B．Your laziness isn’t caused by anything else.

C．We all have days when we are not ourselves.

D．Just give yourself a chance to open up yourself.

E．Reach out to a mental healthcare professional and get help.

F．And nothing you do seems to make you feel happier or better.

G．Obvious losing interest in activities is also a sign of depression.

28、It was a comfortable sunny Sunday. I was going to meet an old university friend I hadn’t seen for years, and was really excited.

My train was running a little late, but that was no big problem—I could text him to say I would be delayed. He would understand. But … where was my mobile phone? I had that familiar sinking feeling. Yes, I’d left it at home.

No mobile phone. I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling anxious, on edge and worried when I don’t have my phone with me. In fact, I know I’m not alone: two－thirds of us experience “nomophobia (无手机恐惧症)”， the fear of being out of mobile phone contact.

That’s according to a study from 2012 which surveyed 1，000 people in the UK about their relationship with mobile phones.

It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, and that 18—24－year－olds, especially girls, are the most likely to suffer fear of being without their mobiles: 77% of them say they are unable to be apart from their phones for more than a few minutes.

Do you have nomophobia?

● You never turn your phone off.

● You frequently check for texts, missed calls and emails.

● You always take your phone to the bathroom with you.

● You never let the battery run out.

It’s funny to think that around 20 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be businessmen carrying their large, plastic “bricks”. Of course, these days, mobile phones are everywhere. A UN study from this year said there would be more mobile phones than people across the world by the end of 2020.

And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe it’s time to ask who really is in charge? Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you?

So, what happened with my university friend? When I arrived a few minutes late he just laughed and said: “You haven’t changed at all—still always late!” And we had a great afternoon catching up, full of jokes and stories, with no desire to check my phone.

Not having it with me felt strangely free. Maybe I’ll leave it at home on purpose next time.

【1】The underlined phrase “on edge” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”．

A．energetic

B．nervous

C．brilliant

D．amazed

【2】What’s the author’s attitude towards using mobiles?

A．Worried.

B．Positive.

C．Neutral (中立的).

D．Negative.

【3】According to the passage, who is most likely to be addicted to (对……上瘾) mobiles?

A．A successful manager.

B．A 21－year－old girl.

C．A 21－year－old boy.

D．A lonely middle－aged person.

【4】What does the passage talk about?

A．The history of mobile phones.

B．The story of meeting an old university friend.

C．The attraction of playing mobile phone.

D．The terrible feeling of being without their mobiles.

29、There are many international organizations which work to save and protect endangered species (物种) and natural environment. If you would like more information about any of the organizations listed below, you can write to the addresses given.

30、South Sudan, the world’s youngest nation, is _________ trying to rebuild after years of conflict (冲突).

South Sudan had the _________ literacy (读写能力) rate of any country worldwide. To fight the problem, officials have launched thousands of adult education classes across the country. In one class, 47-year-old Rebecca Nyankiir Deng is learning English with her daughter. Deng has been illiterate (文盲) for _________ of her life. When Deng was a child, civil war in what is now South Sudan _________ her from going to school. Today she earns money by making and selling jewelry. But the amount Deng earns is so little that she _________ to pay for her daughter’s schooling. Now the teenager can study _________ her mother. “We are studying here because they are teaching us _________.” she said. “If I had to pay for school, I wouldn’t be here.”

Deng is one of a(n) _________ number of South Sudanese adults who see the _________ peace as a chance to get an education. Deng Hoc Yai, South Sudan’s education minister, says adult literacy is a main concern because it helps pull people out of __________ and prevents conflicts. “At the __________ level, at the level of a community, at the level of a country, with communities that have a lot of __________ people, they will all be working, they will all be __________ better health.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为90左右。

“Hey! Are you a girl or a duck?” I ignored (忽视) the comments because I knew they were from the mean girl, Betsy. I ran to my class, causing my slight limp (跛行) to become even more apparent. Already, I could see that things would be different here. At my old school, I had a group of friends to protect me. However, in this new school, I was on my own. I was grateful for alphabetic (字母的) seating. My last name came at the beginning of the alphabet and Betsy’s last name came at the end. As the weeks went on, though, I made friends with two girls named Fran and Lisa who sat near me in class. Whenever Betsy made one of her remarks, they would wave it aside and tell me to ignore her.

One day, our teacher asked us to change seats to make some new friends. As she assigned the new seating, Fran, Lisa, and I looked at each other and waited for our names to be called. We didn’t want to be separated. And we especially didn’t want to sit anywhere near Betsy. Finally, Betsy sat directly behind me.

I knew this wasn’t going to be good. Betsy often leaned forward and said: “Quack, quack!” When I ignored her, she kicked my seat. This went on daily until one morning I simply refused to go to school. I told Mum what had happened at school.

My mother sat me down and began to talk.
