26、Listen carefully. Don’t answer too quickly. At least, don’t say “yes” too soon. A friend might ask, “Want to take a hike?” You should say, “Where?” If he replies “The entire Appalachian Trail (阿巴拉契亚国家步道)”，take warning. Here’s why.

The trail is one of the longest marked footpaths in the world. It starts at Springer Mountain, Georgia. It winds (蜿蜒) along the top of the mountains. It goes through 14 states. It ends at Mount Katahdin, Maine. As the crow(乌鸦)flies, this is about 2,200 miles. But when walked, the trail is 2,600 miles. If you walk nonstop, it takes about six months to walk through the trail.

Most hikers begin from Springer Mountain. They start around April 1. This is why. The snow has probably melted (融化) in the south. But there may still be snow in the north. By the time they reach Maine, the snow will have been long gone. What’s the chance of making it nonstop? Here is the data. About 1,500 people try it each year. About 300 people make it. It is a great challenge.

Careful planning is necessary. There are problems to solve. The biggest one is the weight on one’s back. Too many hikers start out with too much. Wise ones don’t carry food. They send packages to post offices along the way. There are no campfires allowed. Some shelters are near the path. But the trail is crowded. It is hard to find space. A perfect tent is necessary. And it rains a lot. Great rain gear (用具) is needed. It should be light.

Benton MacKaye founded the trail. The first section of the trail was opened in 1923. It is cared for by volunteers in each state. Do you plan to go? Read lots of books by people who’ve done it.

【1】What is the example of the crow in Paragraph 2 used to show?

A．The trail’s view.

B．The trail’s height.

C．The trail’s danger.

D．The trail’s distance.

【2】What can we know about the Appalachian Trail?

A．Only about one fifth of the hikers succeed in hiking every year.

B．Most hikers spend a whole year hiking the trail.

C．It goes through 14 mountains in all.

D．It is about 2,200 miles long.

【3】What does the author advise hikers to do?

A．Carry enough water and food.

B．Wear heavy and warm clothing.

C．Bring enough maps and equipment.

D．Send packages along the way ahead of time.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Advice on hiking

B．Dangers of hiking

C．Go hiking on the Appalachian Trail

D．Introduction of great mountains

27、The cultures of the East and the West are really different from each other a lot. This is because the culture systems are two separate ones on the whole.

The origin (起源) of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers-the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.

When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was up on the Mesopotamian Plain—the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. And these two are well known as the base of the European culture. Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with the mover the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn’t have much difference from the European culture.

At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences. Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic (象形文字的) language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race differences count as well. But what’s more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and the west, the two cultures seldom communicated until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference (干预) from the other.

The differences are everywhere. They are obvious and make people’s ways of thinking and their views of the world different. But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. The cultural difference should not be the obstacle (障碍) to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the driving force of our going farther.

【1】What does the underlined word “civilization” mean in paragraph 3?

A．A particular ability or type of ability.

B．A society with its culture and its way of life.

C．The process of teaching, training and learning.

D．The art of planning, designing, and constructing buildings.

【2】Why did the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries?

A．People ate different kinds of food.

B．There were two language systems.

C．The East and the West are too far away.

D．People’s habits and traditions are not similar.

【3】What is the.last paragraph mainly about?

A．Benefits of cultural differences.

B．Disadvantages of cultural differences.

C．Driving force of people’s going farther.

D．Waves to make the world more colorful.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．What causes different life between East and West

B．What causes diet differences between East and West

C．What causes different views between East and West

D．What causes cultural differences between East and West

28、Bird migration is described as the regular, seasonal movement of bird populations from one place to another and back again.

The longer days and rich food of the northern summer provide greater chances for birds to feed their young. The longer daylight hours and enormous food resources allow birds to lay larger eggs than those of related non-migratory species that remain in the tropics all year round. As the days shorten in autumn and the breeding period is over, the birds return to warmer regions where the available food supply differs little with the seasons changing. The advantages of migration make up for the high stress, physical exertion（消耗）, and other risks of the migration.

Day length is the primary environmental factor that encourages birds to prepare for migration. They have an increased appetite which results in weight gaining, giving them the fat reserves that provide energy for their migratory flight. They also show more activity at night, which is when most birds migrate. While the length of day is the primary reason for migration, birds also respond to temperature changes. For example, if a spring is late and the temperature is lower than normal, birds delay migration; if a spring is early, birds also begin migration early.

The timing of the migratory cycle must allow birds to arrive on the breeding site so that there is time to build a breeding place, mate, lay the eggs, and hatch the young before the rich food is available to feed the young in the nest. Similarly, if birds wait until the climate in their northern breeding grounds becomes tolerable(可忍受的), there will be no time to gain the necessary weight that provides the energy needed for their southbound migration.

【1】Why do birds migrate to the north in spring?

A．The temperature in the south has risen.

B．They like traveling and enjoy the journey.

C．The summer there is warmer than that in the south.

D．The environment there is more suitable for them to feed their baby birds.

【2】What are the two factors that cause birds to migrate?

A．Day length and food supply.

B．Night length and high stress.

C．Temperature changes and day length.

D．Food supply and temperature changes.

【3】Which can be the best title for the text?

A．Birds' Life

B．Birds' Migration

C．Birds' Breeding Habits

D．Birds' Living Environment

29、It’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over, Some kids feel nervous or a little scared (害怕的) on the first day of school because of all the new things. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a short time. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.

Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers.
