26、 I recall when I was a young girl back in Canada, I was watching a baseball game on TV with my father and we started to argue the importance of sports. Different from my father, I insisted that sports is more than just a hobby to keep us physically healthy and claimed that "There would be more wars if we didn't have sports!"
As an adult, I still firmly believe that sports is more than just a hobby for both participants and audience. The challenging times we are all living through right now with coronavirus is proof to this. The effect of cancelling all sports, from professional to amateur programs, can be felt by millions of people worldwide. To many the social and emotional influence is stronger than the physical. The loss of the sense of community, of belonging, and of an extended family is real for people everywhere. Others are feeling physical challenges and are struggling to stay active during these times.
But the human race is incredible and adaptable in tough situations, and sports once again is playing a role. Many sports teams are online, being a source of support, love and laughter. So many professional athletes are sharing their messages and making monetary donations to the cause. Even in areas of isolation, people are coming out on balconies, where they help neighbours and themselves to work out. Many more are turning to online workout programmes to follow. Once again, sports is finding its way.
So, in challenging times such as now, people are still empowered to continue their sports journey and stay strong and healthy.
【1】What may the author's father agree about sports?
A.It is a personal hobby.
B.It promotes confidence.
C.It affects social relations.
D.It helps avoid wars.
【2】How does life without sports affect people?
A.They lack family connection.
B.They have lost their hobbies.
C.They feel bored more than lonely.
D.They suffer both in body and mind.
【3】How do isolated people respond to the tough situations?
A.Struggle to be athletes.
B.Try to stay physically active.
C.Make donations to good causes.
D.Design new sports programmes.
【4】What is the best title?
A.Sports reduces risks in our lives
B.Sports keeps on offering strength
C.Sports makes the impossible possible
D.Sports has new functions in the pandemic
27、 On a farm in England, Gavin and Alice Munro are taking sustainability to the next level: they harvest trees which they grow into chairs.
The couple have a furniture(家具) farm in Derbyshire where they are growing 250 chairs, 100 lamps and 50 tables. It is their answer to what they see as the inefficient(无效率) process of cutting down mature trees to create furniture.
“Instead of force-growing a tree for 50 years and then cutting it down and making it into smaller and smaller bits ... the idea is to grow the tree into the shape that you want directly. It’s like a kind of 3D printing,” said Gavin.
Part of the inspiration for the idea came when Gavin was a young boy. He spotted an overgrown bonsai tree (盆栽) which looked like a chair.
The 44-year-old began experimenting in 2006. In 2012, Gavin and Alice set up the company Full Grown. Within several years, the couple developed the most effective way to shape a tree without limiting its growth. They guide shoots (嫩枝) already heading in the right direction, rather than force them the wrong way against their natural growth.
The average chair takes six to nine years to grow - and another year to dry out. The labor and time involved in producing the organic pieces means they do not come cheap. Chairs sell for£10,000 each, lamps for £900 to £2,300 and tables for £2,500 to £12,500.
【1】What is special about the farm?
A.It uses 3D printing. B.It grows bonsai trees.
C.It was set up by a couple. D.It grows trees into furniture.
【2】How do the couple shape a tree?
A.By limiting its growth.
B.By following its natural growth.
C.By forcing it against its natural growth.
D.By guiding its shoots in the right direction.
【3】How long does it take to make an average chair for the company?
A.Over 50 years. B.About 6 to 9 years.
C.At most 6 years. D.About 7 to 10 years.
【4】Which can best describe the furniture?
A.Big and eco-friendly. B.Natural but expensive.
C.Hand-made and creative. D.Traditional but organic.
【5】What does the writer's opinion on the farm?
A.It’s brought in huge money. B.It grows trees inefficiently.
C.It’s a good try of sustainability. D.It will gain popularity soon.
28、 More than 10 years ago, it was difficult to buy a tasty pineapple. The fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and, more often than not, hard with an unpleasant taste within. Then in 1966, the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves.
The new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green. It was slightly softer on the outside and had a lot of juice inside. But the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss pineapples we had known. In no time, the Del Monte Gold took the market by storm, rapidly becoming the world's best-selling pineapple variety, and delivering natural levels of sweetness in the mouth, up until then only found in tinned pineapple.
In nutrition it was all good news too. This nice tasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin C than the old green variety. Nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins, but also good against some diseases. People were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit. The new type of pineapple was selling fast, and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eater.
Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, Del Monte Gold tried to keep market to itself. But other fruit companies developed similar pineapples. Del Monte Gold turned to law for help, but failed. Those companies argued successfully that Del Monte Gold's attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out the market.
【1】What is the new type of pineapple like?
A.A little soft outside and sweet inside.
B.Good-looking outside and soft inside.
C.Yellowy-gold outside and hard inside.
D.Green outside and sweet inside.
【2】Why was the new type of pineapple selling well?
A.It was developed by Del Monte Gold .
B.It was less sweet and good for health.
C.It was rich in nutrition and tasted nice.
D.It was used as medicine.
【3】The underlined word “fixture” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to something .
A.that people enjoy eating
B.that people use as a gift
C.that is difficult to get
D.that is always present
【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.Del Monte Gold allowed other companies to develop pineapples.
B.Del Monte Gold tried hard to control the pineapple market.
C.Del Monte Gold succeeded in keeping the pineapple for itself.
D.Del Monte Gold argued with the other companies.
29、Languages around the world continue to disappear at an alarming rate. According to the UNESCO Atlas of Languages in Danger, there are 6,700 languages spoken in the world, 40 percent of which are in danger of disappearing. And the majority under threat are languages spoken by Indigenous(本土的)peoples around the world.
When an Indigenous language is lost, not only do we lose the knowledge built up by the community of its speakers, but also the world’s cultural and biological(生物学的)diversity is endangered. For example, where there are most species of plants and animal, there are most languages spoken. When a new species is “discovered” by scientists, you can bet your bottom dollar that the native people living in that area would already have had a name for that species and be highly knowledgeable about it. These languages are biological encyclopedias, and if they are no longer spoken, this wisdom and understanding is lost to humanity forever. “We human beings should care about indigenous languages in the same way as we should care about the loss of the world’s variety of plants and animals, its biodiversity,” Steven Pinker, a respected linguist and Harvard Professor, said.
Fortunately, efforts are being made to bring attention to and preserve these languages, along with the cultural and biological diversity they represent. And education is at the heart of the idea. The United Nations has declared 2019 as The International Year of Indigenous Languages so as to raise awareness, and to teach those who haven’t been aware of the contributions they can make. Similarly, UNESCO’s International Fund for Cultural Diversity is providing money to educational projects in the hope of bringing Indigenous language and knowledge into school.
【1】How does the author show the seriousness of the problem in paragraph 1?
A.By making a comparison.
B.By listing numbers.
C.By quoting a famous person.
D.By providing examples.
【2】Why should we preserve indigenous languages?
A.They help scientists find new species.
B.Many of them are at risk of dying out.
C.People speaking these languages are more knowledgeable.
D.They contribute to the cultural and biological diversity.
【3】What is the intention of The International Year of Indigenous Languages?
A.To educate people to protect indigenous languages.
B.To promote people’s awareness of the United Nations.
C.To bring indigenous language and knowledge into school.
D.To celebrate the success of indigenous language protection.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Languages and Biodiversity
B.Indigenous Languages Explained
C.Preserving Indigenous Languages
D.The Loss of Indigenous Languages

32、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Ever since he was a kid, Colin had taken great interest in hiking (远足). To celebrate his 40th birthday, he planned to climb Mountain Sunshine.
The night before his journey, Colin filled his backpack with hiking poles, a homemade hamburger, and some other necessities. He drove off at 7 am the next day, his mountain bike in the trunk(后备箱)。When he was already on the way, he suddenly realized there was a possibility of bear attack.
About an hour later, he arrived at a camp and checked in.“Is there anything you need?”Vito,the camp manager, asked him.
“Bear spray(驱熊喷雾),”said Colin.
After finding a bottle, Vito offered him a ride. They trucked along a road until the forest got too thick. As Colin put his mountain bike against a bush so that he could recover it on the way back, Vito said, “I'll come for you if you're not back when the night falls." “Nothing to worry about,” Colin replied in a confident voice.
With the bear spray in one pocket,Colin started hiking.He marked his trail(足迹,踪迹) and made lots of noise to drive away any curious animals.
Before he knew it, it was getting dark. Not wanting to get caught in the dark, and satisfied with what he'd finished that day, he started to climb down the mountain, and soon recovered his bike.
As he passed a marker showing 3 kilometers away from the camp, he suddenly stopped his bike-a bear stood in the middle of the narrow road,some hundred meters away. Knowing it could easily attack him if he sped up, Colin decided not to anger the bear.
