26、El Nino, a Spanish term for “the Christ child”, was named by South American fisherman who noticed that the global weather pattern, which happens every two to seven years, reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas. El Nino sees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other way round.

The weather effects, both good and bad, are felt in many places. Rich countries gain more from powerful Nino, on balance, than they lose. A study found that a strong Nino in 1997-98 helped American’s economy grow by $15 billion, partly because of better agricultural harvest: farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain. The total rise in agricultural incomes in rich countries in growth is greater than the fall in poor ones.

But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames. A multi-year drought in south-east Brazil is becoming worse. Though heavy rains brought about by El Nino may relieve the drought in California, they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.

The most recent powerful Nino, in 1997-98, killed around 21,000 people and caused damage worth $36 billion around the globe. But such Ninos come with months of warning, and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare. According to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), however, just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards. This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction.

Simple improvements to infrastructure(基础设施) can reduce the spread of disease. Better sewers make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach. Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods. According to a paper in 2011 by Mr. Hsiang and co-authors, civil conflict is related to El Nino’s harmful effects—and the poorer the country, the stronger the link. Though the relationship may not be causal, helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people. Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nino, reducing their losses needs to be the priority.

A．It is named after a South American fisherman.

B．It takes place almost every year all over the world.

B．governments of poor countries need more aid

C．victims of El Nino deserve more compensation

D．recovery and reconstruction should come first

【3】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

29、Three years ago our yellow dog, Abby, passed away due to old age. My experience with my beloved dog became useful years later as I considered getting a new dog—a hiking and adventure companion, a nap buddy (午休伙伴), a watchdog: everything Abby used to be for my family and I when I was growing up.

The process of adopting a puppy (幼犬) can be long and hard. But thanks to large retailers (零售商) like Petco and their weekend “adoption days”, I was able to walk away with my puppy after only a $300 payment, a signature and verbal commitment to take care of her to the best of my abilities.

I wasn't entirely “prepared” for my puppy when I got her, and I can't say my parents were for sure on board when I adopted her, knowing she'd outgrow my living conditions and need the sizable yard and mountain access only my parents' house could provide her with. But I took the leap, supplied her with everything she could possibly need to be happy and develop properly, set up a vet appointment and made a commitment to myself and her to do whatever I had to do to make sure she grew up right.

My dad actually jokes now that he's become a grandpa before he thought he would, and I think there's some truth to that I'm not the mother of a human being yet, but I can draw some similarities between taking care of a baby and raising a puppy. Koda wakes up several times a night to go to the bathroom, eats her pricey puppy food, has accidents on the carpet and in my bed, cries when I'm not around and stops me from concentrating on my homework. Since adopting her, I can't do anything without first considering how my actions and choices will affect my dog.

Puppy parenting isn't easy, and that's part of why it's so rewarding.

【1】What did the author consider important when thinking about adopting a new dog?

A．Getting her parents' approval.

B．Getting a yellow one once again.

C．Getting one like her previous dog.

D．Getting one that didn't demand much care.

【2】What does Paragraph 2 tell us about the authors adopting her dog?

A．Its process was long and hard.

B．It was easier than she had thought.

C．It got some money support on “adoption days”.

D．It cost more money than she expected.

【3】What problem did the author face after adopting her dog?

A．Her living place didn't suit the dog.

B．Her parents didn't really love the dog.

C．She couldn't afford the expensive puppy food.

D．She had trouble in setting up vet appointments.

【4】How did the author most probably find keeping a dog?

A．Tiring but worthy.

B．Easy and rewarding.

C．Exhausting and useless.

D．Terrifying but exciting.

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。

This was it.

Today was the day.

Finally, she would be able to see her again.

It’d been five long years. Her university days now felt like a lifetime ago. When Jennifer thought back to it, she didn’t like the girl she had been then, but when she thought about Yui Fay,   that discomfort disappeared and her whole life lit up.

Actually, the exact time and place for meeting was yet to be appointed. Yui Fay promised to call her instantly the flight landed. Jennifer couldn’t be more excited. She kept imagining their meeting —how they would run towards each other, hugging and talking of the old times. As she imagined, happiness spread through her body.

It was time to get dressed. As she was struggling about what to wear, she spotted a red summer dress, which she bought that day in Barcelona. She would never forget that day five years before. After a hard week at university, Yui Fay and she spontaneously(心血来潮地) bought bus tickets to Barcelona. They slept on the bus and then spent the whole day exploring the city. Walking past a shop, they were attracted by the red summer dress. Yui Fay said it would look perfect on Jennifer. In fact, every day with Yui Fay was wonderful.

After university Yui Fay went back to China where she took over her family’s business, while Jennifer took the job in an office. They promised to keep in contact. But then life happened. The occasional calls faded with time and they had not talked for over two years. Yet, of all her friends, Yui Fay was still the one she felt the closest to. She knew all her fears, dreams, and her wildest stories. She knew that if something happened, Yui Fay would be there for her no matter what. And viceversa. Some friendships just survive the passage of time.

Yet the idea of meeting her was also terrifying. What if…? The idea was too hard to put into words. What if the person she was so fond of was no longer? What if this dinner turned out to be nothing more than a meeting between two boring businesswomen?

She put on the red summer dress and kept checking the phone anxiously.
