26、   In September, something terrible happened on the west coast of Tasmania, Australia. As many as 380 pilot whales became stranded(搁浅) in shallow water there and later died. This might have been Australia’s largest stranding event on record, the BBC reported.

But this large amount of whale stranding is not uncommon. For centuries, it has happened all over the world and has puzzled scientists. Scientists say the cause is often unknown. But they have offered many different explanations.

Some say the whales chase small fish for food and end up in shallow water because they are not paying attention to where they are going.

Others think the stranding has something to do with Earth’s geomagnetic field (地磁场). They say that a geomagnetic compass in whales’ brains controls their position. Unusual changes in Earth’s magnetic field can affect the whales’ compasses and send them in the wrong direction.

Another explanation suggests that stranding is caused by the close relationships that whales have. Pilot whales travel in large groups. One lead whale might mistakenly lead the whole group to shallow water. “And if one gets into trouble, the others will not leave,” said Sheryl Gibney, a leading biologist from New Zealand. “Some will come in and try to help, they get trapped on the beach, then more will come.”

The whales are trapped by mistake or out of sympathy(同情). Once they get stranded, they will likely die. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the US, less than 10 percent of all stranded whales survive.

A．It happened on the east coast of Australia.

B．It caused the death of over 300 pilot whales.

【2】According to Gibney, the pilot whales are the animals that________.

A．are kind to each other

B．are easy to lose direction

C．are too huge to float in the sea

D．are silly to follow the leading whale

【3】What is the story mainly about?

A．How human activity has affected whales.

B．What might cause whale strandings.

C．How whales find their direction while traveling.

D．What scientists are doing to save stranded whales.

27、A cafeteria manager is changing her students’ lives for the better at an elementary school in Virginia Beach, Va.,writing uplifting messages on bananas being offered in the school cafeteria.

Stacey Truman has held the position at Kingston Elementary School for nine years, but recently decided to start making the “talking bananas,” as the kids call them, to encourage the students. “I do it for my kids at home, so why not bring it here and do it for them because they are like my kids.’’ Truman said. The bananas have several motivational messages like “Never give up” “You are wise!” and “Keep trying” among others.

“Most of the messages I came up with myself because I would just think about what you would tell a kid or what you would want to hear yourself.” Truman said. Truman’s sweet gesture did not just have a powerful influence on the children, however. School principal Sharon Shewbridge saw the bananas and posted a picture of the fruit on Twitter, where it started receiving wide attention.

“Truman feels a bit shy about all the attention,” Shewbridge said. “She just wanted to be anonymous. But I think this is so simple and amazing—and it really does good to kids.”

“It's simple but these words can help them be more courageous and realize that they are good enough,”

Shewbridge added. “I hope that other schools see it's an easy way to get a kind message to kids.”

【1】Where are the messages on bananas mainly from?

B．They are created by Truman.

C．They are collected from students.

A．Make money.

29、A day in the clouds

The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the short hike(徒步旅行)from camp. To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain(平原) in front of us, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals. This is why we stay here.

Tibetan antelopes live mainly on the plains of Tibet. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I'm struck by their beauty. I'm also reminded of the danger they are in. They are being hunted, illegally, for their valuable fur.

My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang Nationa Nature Reserve(保护区) . The reserve is a safe place for the animals and plants of northwestern Tibet. To Zhaxi, protecting(保护)the wildlife is a way of life. "We're not trying to save the animals." he says. "Actually, we're trying to save ourselves."

In the 1980s and 1990s the population of Tibetan antelopes dropped by more than 50 Percent. Hunters were shooting antelopes to make money. Their Living places were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.

In order to save Tibetan antelopes, the Chinese government placed them under national protection. Zhaxi and Volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.

The measures were effective. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered species list(濒危物种名单). The government, however, does not intend to stop the protection programmes, since the threats(威胁) to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared. Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.

【1】Why does the author stay “here” according to the passage?

A.To experience hike with thin air. B.To observe Tibetan antelopes.

C.To picture clouds on the plain. D.To admire snow-covered mountains.

【2】What can we learn from Zhaxi’s words in Para3?

A.Protecting the animals can make money.

B.Protecting the animals is saving ourselves.

C.He is not fond of protecting the animals.

D.The reserve is only safe for wild animals.

【3】What is mainly talked about in Para4?

A.Why hunters hunt Tibetan antelopes.

B.Why antelopes’ living places changed.

C.Why antelopes’ number dropped greatly.

D.Why the 1980s and the 1990s are unusual.

【4】What does the underlined word “remove” probably mean?

A.Deleted. B.changed. C.migrated. D.recognized.

【5】What might be the future condition of Tibetan antelopes according to the last Paragraph?

A.They will be over-populated.

B.They will be a threat to man and other wildlife.

C.They will be on the endangered species list again.

D.They will be in harmony with nature and humans.

31、用所给单词的首字母或者你认为合适的词的正确形式填空，每空只填一词。

G【1】 up in England with a British father and a Chinese mother, the author has enjoyed food from both countries ever since she was able to hold a knife and fork — and chopsticks!

Although her dad has come to love some of the food from her mother’s hometown, there are some dishes that he dare not try even after many years of m【2】 to her mother. He was even surprised by【3】 he saw on the table when he first came to China.

But the author enjoys that sort of food herself. Last week, she went to the butcher’s and asked, “Do you have pigs’ ears?” “No,” the butcher said, p【4】at his own ears, “just these o【5】 ones.” It’s because he must have thought she was joking.

Her dad can cook a super “full English breakfast” and also does a t【6】. Sunday roast, but her mum says they’d better not eat too much roast food【7】 it may make them suffer from heat inside their bodies, according to traditional Chinese medicine.

When the author first visited China, she came across stinky tofu, which she thought smelt like a b【8】 sports shoe, but she g【9】 all her courage to take a bite and was amazed to find it wasn’t so bad.

There is a saying that one man’s meat is another man’s p【10】, but the author feels at home with food from both cultures and she believes that there’s nothing better than a cross-cultural afternoon tea of English biscuits and a cup of Chinese oolong tea in a fine china cup.

32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

February has long been a month of romance. With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.

On the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolate, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals! This is what you see on Valentine’s Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome. When the emperor decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didn’t allow marriage.

But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed “From your Valentine”, an expression that is still in use today. Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a saint, as well as becoming one of the most romantic characters in history.

Nowadays, Valentine’s Day is still popular among Chinese young people. Some students are planning to make Valentine’s cards for parents, teachers and friends. Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St. Valentine.
