26、   More than 100 scientists from 25 countries have traveled to faraway places to collect wild crop seeds(种子) in an effort to help battle climate change.

The scientists, who have been compared to the heroes of the “Indiana Jones” movies, traveled on foot, four-wheeled vehicles(交通工具), boats, horses and even elephants to reach faraway areas. They faced extreme heat,dust, and danger from wild animals. At last, they collected 4, 644 seeds of 371 wild relatives of 28 world crops, many of which are said to be endangered.

The Crop Trust, an organization that works to save different kinds of crops, is directing the project. The group is working in partnership with Britain's Royal Botanic Gardens and Millennium Seed Bank. Additional financial support comes from Norway. The project is believed to be the largest organized international effort yet to collect and protect crops' wild relatives.Hannes Dempewolf is a scientist and the head at the Crop Trust. He said“What these seed collectors went through in the field resembles scenes from an Indiana Jones movie.”

Some crops are threatened because of destruction of forests, climate change and expanded cities. The newly-found wild seeds have developed so plants can grow in extreme temperatures, poor soils, and even in low rainfall areas.

A United Nations report says that food production is at risk because of a shortage of rain and other weather extremes connected to climate change. The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization says that the number of plant species is quickly decreasing and people are depending on fewer species for food. Those wild seeds could be important in feeding a growing human population in some areas and offer a largely unused source of diversity(多样性) to crops.

【1】What does the second paragraph show?

A.Collecting seeds is not an easy job.

B.The scientists’ story is made into a movie.

C.The wild seeds are in danger of extinction.

D.The scientists can choose from many vehicles.

【2】What does the underlined word “resembles”in the third paragraph mean?

A.Depends on. B.Looks like.

C.Turns out. D.Refers to.

【3】What is the advantage of the newly-found wild seeds?

A.They can increase green areas. B.They can provide more nutrients

C.They can survive bad conditions. D.They can improve existent crop seeds.

【4】What is the meaning of the scientists collecting wild seeds?

A.Bringing more plant species to the world.

B.Helping farmers improve their farming skills.

C.Knowing about the worlds farming practices.

D.Helping battle climate change.

27、John Keats was an English poet, whose poetry described the beauty of the natural world and art as the vehicle for his poetic imagination. Regarded as one of the English language’s most naturally gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagination, human nature, and philosophy. Although Keats didn’t receive much formal literary education, his own studies and great interest brought him much success. Besides, his own life situation made a great difference to his poetry.

Growing up as a young kid in London in a lower, middle-class family, the young John didn’t attend a private school, but went to public school in Enfield, near his home. His teachers and his family’s friends regarded him as a positive boy who liked playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father’s death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother’s passing away due to illness, he began to view life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.

At around the age of 16, John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his love for literature had taken too much of his time, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Edmund Spenser. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume (册) of poetry that would be published, but was attacked sharply in Blackwood’s Magazine. However, it didn’t stop him.

John Keats’ next work to be published was Endymion, which he wrote in 1817 and was published in May 1818. The story tells a boy who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him to an adventure of one boy’s hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Endymion, he wrote Isabella. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all he learned. However, an attack of tuberculosis (肺结核) while visiting Italy kept him from his work and took his life in 1821.

【1】What changed John Keats’ attitude towards life?

A．The poetry of Edmund Spenser.

B．His early education at school.

C．The criticism from a magazine.

D．The death of his parents.

【2】What do we know from the text?

A．Keats spent two months writing a poem in 1817.

B．Keats hardly received education at school.

C．Keats had admiration for Edmund’s poetry.

D．Endymion tells of Keats’ love story.

【3】What can be inferred from the text?

A．Edmund Spenser was a famous doctor.

B．Hyperion might be incomplete.

C．Keats’ family must be very poor.

D．Keats rewrote his poem Isabella.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Popularity of Keats’ poetry.

B．Keats’ difficulties in his whole life.

C．Other poets’ influence on Keats.

D．Keats’ life and his poetry.

28、   As a child grows up, you may wonder how you can teach him to become a respectful adult.

【1】 A child who learns to respect not only learns to receive respect from others in kind, but also learns to respect himself.

Show him respect.

This is the best way to teach your child how to respect others. Listen to your child attentively and he will learn to listen to you, understanding how important this is in communication.

【2】

The more you say “please” and “thank you” to your child, the more likely he will learn to use them. Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation.

Agree to disagree.

【3】 Explain your decision so that he will understand you and expect respectful responses. Disagreeing with you doesn’t necessarily mean rudeness.

Control your anger.

When a situation arises, stay calm and keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior. 【4】

Praise, praise, praise!

So much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that his achievements are not celebrated enough. 【5】

A.Teach manners by using polite requests and responses．

B.Respect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life.

C.Try to remember that a child won’t always agree with you.

D.A child may act as he pleases, and he will live a happy life.

E.Respectful behavior always comes with bad behavior as a child.

F.If he sees your anger beyond control, he is more likely to respond that way in future.

G.Seeing a child exhibit respectful behavior, make sure he knows how proud you are of him.

29、If you're one of the millions of those who use escalators each year, you are probably deeply familiar with the vertical grooves（竖凹槽）that cover each stair. Few of us have stopped to consider why they exist, though. In fact, it's one of the everyday things we take for granted.

But it is a little complicating when you think about it. Sure, the deep, grey lines make an escalator's metal stairs more appealing to the eye. But regular stairs don't have grooves like these; why do escalators need them? Is it because of the movement?

It turns out those grooves serve a more functional purpose. And, yes, it does have to do with the movement, as well as with general cleanliness! Anyone who has ridden an escalator knows that the steps everlastingly circulate from the top to the bottom. You've surely noticed the ridged yellow lip at the top of the escalator. But here's what you may not have noticed: As an escalator's steps flatten, this ridge—also called the comb plate—sweeps away any trash or litter that might have fallen on the stairs. Those grooves lock the step and comb plate together, which makes it harder for any dangerous materials to slide underneath the lip. This prevents foreign objects from getting stuck in that gap, potentially causing the escalator to stop, or worse, break down completely.

That's not the only reason why the grooves were created, though. They are also a good place for water to pool together, protecting you from a bad fall on the slick surface.

So the next time you step on an escalator, take a moment to appreciate those metal grooves. They exist to make sure you get to your office meeting on time.

【1】What are the first two paragraphs trying to say?

A．Millions of people use escalators every year.

B．Few people think much about the grooves.

C．Escalators are complicated machines.

D．Grooves make the stairs look better.

【2】The ridge is mainly designed to____

A．clean off dangerous objects.

B． keep the stairs in movement.

C．flatten the steps.

D．lock the steps.

【3】What does the underlined word "slick” mean in Paragraph 4?

A．Smooth.

B．Sticky.

C．Steep.

D．Slippery.

【4】What's the passage mainly about?

A．The importance of escalators.

B．The reasons for grooves on stairs.

C．The look of grooves in escalators.

D．The safe ways of riding escalators.

In Times of Crists, We Need Classical Music

  It’s still lying in front of me on my desk. The booklet, entitled Time for Outrange(愤怒) , was written by the 93-year-old French diplomat(外交官) Stephane Hessel. “The power of money,” Hessel says, filled with anger, “has never been as great and selfish and 【1】 as it is now.”

  But what does the outrage of this Frenchman have to do with classical music and , ultimately, with me, music director of the Orchestre Symphenique de Montreal(蒙特利尔交响乐团) ?

  A lot, I, too, am outraged by the direction of industrial society, with materialism and consumerism leading the way. I want to show that, because of its powerful impact, classical music can play a(n) 【2】 role right now.

  We all sense that our society is experiencing an almost revolutionary 【3】. Life is getting faster, competition is fiercer and social cohesion(凝聚力) is reducing. Like most people, I have no idea how liberty and civil rights would develop in the era of globalization and ever-evolving technological advancement.

  But I see this as an opportunity for a(n) 【4】 to classical music. The great symphonies of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven are not museum pieces we should listen to only if we want to 【5】 ourselves with some music history. Now are they a decoration or a relaxation exercise for the quickened pace of life.

  They are more than what a radio station for classical music once promised - “your oasis(绿洲) of well-being.” They are timeless compositions that 【6】 all the uncertainties and insecurities of this new period. They can support us in our search for meaning. Beethoven, for example, was convinced that man had the capacity to change for the better and to go throughout life. This is why there is so much hope in his music. His symphonies was mean to 【7】 people forward.

  Classic music 【8】 our senses and emotions in such a way that we were thrown back onto ourselves. It 【9】 to listeners to make use of their own reason and reflect on their actions. Music’s sole purpose is to be experienced. That experience, in turn, is why music can change our perceptions(认知) of ourselves and thereby our interactions with others.

  【10】 to explain this powerful impact of music will always remain unsatisfying, but this much is certain: aesthetic(审美的) experiences can transform people.
