26、It was 4:30 a. m. in Mozambique, a country in Africa. When her three younger sisters were still asleep, 13-year-old Natalia rose and set off into the darkness.

Natalia moved quickly. Her difficult journey would take hours. She had been making this trip two times a day, seven days a week, since she was 10 years old.

Why?

She was not heading to school or to a job. She was going to get the water her family needed to survive.

Natalia is a serious girl who loves learning. But getting water for her family left little time for her education. She was lucky to make it to school one or two days a week. But Natalia dreamed of doing far more, like one day running her own school.

Natalia had plenty of time to think about this dream on her trips to get water. First she walked to the watering holes the villagers had dug into the ground. Then she waited in line for hours.

The water that Natalia brought home was gray and dirty. Natalia’s family boiled it before drinking it. But the water still often made them sick.

There was no other choice, though. The muddy watering holes were the only source of water for many miles around. What Natalia’s village really needed was a well. But digging a well requires expensive machines and many experts. Natalia’s village could not afford these things.

In 2014, an organization called charity: water heard about Natalia’s village. The organization has paid for 24, 500 water projects around the world-277 of those in Mozambique.

In August 2014, large trucks came to Natalia’s village. The workers found the best place for a well and started drilling. Natalia and her neighbors came to watch. The workers covered the hole and put a hand pump on top.

It was a simple pump. But it meant everything.

Life is quite different for Natalia these days. She goes to school. She is a top student who plans to run her own school. She wants to change the lives of other girls through education.

【1】Which of the following can best describe 13-year-old Natalia’s life?

A．Hard.

B．Simple.

C．Lonely.

D．Boring.

【2】Why did the water that Natalia brought home often make her family sick?

A．Because it was too salty.

B．Because it was too cold.

C．Because it lacked nutrition.

D．Because it was gray and dirty.

【3】What was a big problem in Natalia’s village?

A．Poor education.

B．Large family Size.

C．A shortage of water.

D．Separation from the world.

【4】What happened to Natalia’s village in August 2014?

A．A well was dug.

B．Many people were sick.

C．Charity: water was started.

D．Girls were allowed to go to school.

【5】What does Natalia want to do in the future?

A．Be a doctor.

B．Open a school.

C．Make water pumps.

D．Traveling out of her village.

27、It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter . 

  Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t  even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it. 

  However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies. 

  Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the road-man ship. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

【1】The passage mainly talks about ____________.

A. modern drivers   B. traffic jams

C. good manners   D. road politeness

【2】Troubles on the road are often caused by __________.

A. the behaviors of the drivers   B. traffic jams

C. terrible road conditions   D. great speed

【3】According to the writer, a good driver should __________.

A. beat back when forced to face rude driving

B. join in traffic stream quickly however other people feel

C. be able to recognize politeness when he sees it

D. encourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want to

【4】It is not always right for drivers to __________.

A. master road-man ship   B. encourage old ladies to cross the road

C. create atmosphere of good will   D. give a friendly nod to show politeness

28、As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.

Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.

One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.

Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.

Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”

【1】The passage tells us that   .

A. people seldom work long hours to make money

B. people hardly buy more things than necessary

C. people are sure everything they own is in the right place

D. people realize there is more to life than just making money

【2】Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm ____.

A. was easy to organize   B. has improved family life

C. was extremely expensive   D. has been a total success

【3】What does the author mean by saying “the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives” in the second paragraph?

A. People work long hours to earn their living.

B. To make more money through hard work is the aim of people’s life.

C. Long hours of hard work occupy too much of people’s life.

D. People spent too much time and money eating meals.

29、About a week after Glenda and Raphi Savitz welcomed their daughter Samantha to the world, they learned that she was deaf．

“Obviously, it was really a surprise and a challenge,” Glenda says.“To communicate with our daughter, we knew that we had to get involved in the deaf community and get immersed in American Sign Language(ASL).” What the new parents didn’t know then was that their neighbors would decide to start learning ASL, too．

The family had moved to their neighborhood just three months earlier.When they moved in, a neighbor stopped by to deliver Glenda a directory (名录)of everyone who lives in the neighborhood, complete with photos and contact information．

It’s a place where people are serious about being good neighbors．So when Samantha was out with her parents, neighbors like Jill McNeil were really sad that they couldn’t greet the girl with words．Then he thought, “Since she couldn’t learn our language, why don’t we learn hers?”

McNeil and three other neighbors quietly signed up for local adult education classes in ASL.As with any new language, learning ASL takes time.But McNeil says the classes are working.“We know how to say ‘Are you riding your bike?’ or ‘You have pretty new pink sports shoes’.”

The classes have been such a hit that the number of neighbors learning the language reached about 40．“We’re just thankful that we live here and we’re surrounded by these wonderful people,” Raphi Savitz says．And they’re not the only ones who say they’re grateful．

“We are really enjoying the whole process, not only learning ASL, but learning together,” says McNeil．“It’s made our neighborhood a closer place.”

32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。   

At a medical clinic in Waterloo, Ontario, an elderly woman sat on the edge of a waiting room chair singing the Celine Dion tune “My Heart Will Go On.” Other than a slight rhythmic rocking of her body to the Titanic theme song, she kept still, with her arms crossed elegantly over her chest. With little effort, she was able to send her sweet，high-pitched (尖声的) voice exploding into every comer of the clinic.

I had fun watching how people reacted. There was a lot of changing in seats, but mainly they awkwardly looked away and tried to pretend there was nothing out of the ordinary going on.

I was there with my father, who was getting a routine blood test, when the woman arrived. She settled into the seat directly across from my dad. Because she was so tiny, she was forced to sit on the edge of the chair so her feet could touch the floor. The position made it seem as though she were sitting forward to engage in conversation with him. She smiled at him, and he smiled back.

I was concerned about how my dad would react to the possible invasion of his space. He was 77 at the time and had been living with Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆症) for several years. He was a brilliant and shy military man. When he was healthy，he tolerated people’s eccentricities (古怪) dutifully but with silent disapproval. He considered it wholly bad mannered to bring too much unnecessary attention to oneself. Since Alzheimer’s has a tendency to cause damage to a person’s patience and self-control. Dad had got into a few challenging and unpleasant situations in the past. I couldn’t help but think that this little woman was playing with fire.

Her singing began gently, like a quiet hum. I glanced over at Dad. His smile was gone, and he was staring right at her. She was staring back. I couldn't read his expression, but it seemed to be something like confusion. This wasn’t an unusual state for him.
