26、   Have you ever wondered what the longest word in the English language is? Believe it or not, there’s no simple answer to the question. You might think it would be as easy as opening a dictionary and looking for the longest word. However ，it’s far more complicated (复杂的) than that.

Over time, many people have suggested many different words for the title of the longest word in English. How can that be? That’s because the first thing that people have different opinions on is what should be considered a word. Some of the words were simply made up to be the longest! For example, there is one really famous long word that most kids know. It comes from Disney’s movie Mary Poppins: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, which means wonderful. But since that 34-letter word was made up simply to be sung as a song in a movie, should it count?

How about long words that actually describe something in the world? Scientists have come up with several possible choices. The name of a virus(病毒) totals 1,185 letters. There’s also a protein(蛋白质) whose name totals 1, 909 letters. Should these win the title? "Not so fast!” say some people. Are these words ever actually used? Can they even be pronounced? And are they meaningful just because they are made up to be long?

If you’re wondering about some long words in common English, here are some examples. Those words include uncharacteristically (20 letters), deinstitutionalization(22 letters) and counterrevolutionaries (also 22 letters) Or perhaps the word "smiles" is the longest word in English. Sure, it has only six letters, but there is a "mile between the first and the last letters!

【1】Why does the author mention the underlined questions in Paragraph 3?

A. To ask for readers opinions.

B. To compare different ideas

C. To describe the condition

D. To show people’s doubt

【2】How does the author sound in the last paragraph?

A. Proud B. Humorous C. Excited D. Surprised

【3】What is the text mainly about?

A. English words change a lot as time goes by. B. Long words are often used in scientific fields

C. It is hard to decide what the longest word is. D. Why we can’ t understand some English words

28、   The giraffe is the tallest animal on land. It is one of the best-known species in Africa, known for their very long necks, long legs and the brown and white patterns that cover their bodies.

Craig Hilton-taylor is head of the Red List program. He says there were between 152,000 and 163, 000 giraffes in 1985. But now, the number of them has fallen to about 98 , 000. “It is a huge tragedy and it's been sort of a silent disappearance that we just really haven't detected until now." Fifty years ago, groups of giraffes usually had 20 to 30 animals in them. Now, observers are only seeing six animals in a group. Until now the disappearance of the animals has not been observed closely. They live in such a wide area across Africa.

What is causing this decrease? Hilton-taylor says, “It is due to the effect of people, whether it's people causing loss of habitat for the species, hunting the species for food or harvesting for medicine or for wood. ”

He says pollution and the effects of climate change are just a few of the other problems affecting the species. Some people are moving into protected areas where giraffes and other animals live because of a lack of rain that affects food production. Sometimes the animals are killed for their meat. Also, civil wars in Africa make it more difficult to protect the animals.

Hilton-taylor says giraffes can be helped. “It's not too late, and we can turn things around. ” Some of the ideas that work include community involvement and tourism. Tourism, for example, provides jobs for local people. He also says there needs to be a giraffe action plan put in place to observe and survey the animals across the continent of Africa. Hilton-taylor adds that finding answers to the problems people face, like drought linked to climate change, food shortages and civil unrest, will provide answers for people to help giraffes.

【1】What does the underlined word “detected" mean in the second paragraph?

A.changed B.noticed C.doubted D.confirmed

【2】Which is NOT a possible reason for the decrease of giraffes?

A.Civil wars in Africa. B.Loss of the habitats.

C.Climate change. D.Their wide living space.

【3】How can giraffes be helped according to Hilton-taylor?

A.By attracting more tourists to Africa. B.By stopping the global warming.

C.By learning more about the community. D.By moving local people away.

【4】Which might be the most suitable title for the passage?

A.Giraffes are changing Africa. B.Silent disappearance of giraffes.

C.Tourism and nature protection. D.Wildlife can be saved in future.

29、   I made my decision to start my own company and leave my stable position after attending a regional sales meeting. The vice-president of our company delivered a speech that changed my life. He asked us. "If genie（精灵）would grant you three wishes what would they be?" After giving us a moment to write down the three wishes, he then asked us. "Why do you need genie?" I would never forget the power I felt at that moment.

I realized that everything I had accomplished had prepared me for this moment. I was ready and did not need a genie's help to become a professional speaker.

When I tearfully told my boss my plans, this incredible leader whom I respect so much replied, "Go ahead with reckless abandon and it will pay off."

Having made that decision, I was immediately tested. One week after I quit mine, my husband was laid off（解雇）from his job. We had recently bought a new home me and needed both incomes to make the monthly mortgage payment and now we were done to no income. It was tempting to turn back to my former company, knowing they wanted me to stay, but I was certain that if I went back, I would never leave. I decided I still wanted to move forward rather than end up with a mouth full of "if onlys" later on. A motivational speaker was born.

When I held fast to my dream, even during the tough times, the miracles really began to happen. In a short time period my husband found a better job. We didn't miss a mortgage payment. And I was able to book several speaking engagements with new clients. I discovered the incredible power of dreams. I loved my old job, my peers and the company I left, but it was time to get on with my dream. To celebrate my success, I had a local artist paint my new office as a garden. At the top of one wall she wrote, "The world always makes way for the dreamer."
