26、   When Carlos Valdez and his wife order from: Papa John's, they aren't just looking for pizza ---they want to started their favorite delivery driver! Derlin Newey started delivering pizza in Roy, Utah, to help pay the bills, seeing as his social security benefits(社会保障金)weren't enough to live on. That's how the 89-year-old man first met the Valdez family. From the moment they heard him say, “Hello, are you looking for some pizza,” Derlin found his way into their hearts!

Ever since that day, whenever they place an order, they ask for Delin personally. It didn't take long for them to begin recording their sweet meetings and share them on TikTok, which is how thousands of other people fell in love with Derlin. Still, his fans couldn't help but wonder why someone at his age was working so hard- question the Valdez family was asking themselves too. They spoke with Derlin, and when they found out he works 30 hours a week to make ends meet, they decided to collect donations to make his life easier. They figured anything would help, but they never expected to raise over $12,000!

In September, the couple decided to switch things up by showing up at Derlin'a door with a couple of gifts. First, they surprised him with a cute cartoon shirt of himself bolding a pizza box. Then they revealed the surprising act of generosity that brought him to tears! They explained that they had rallied their Tik Tok community to support him, and while he's not entirely sure what the platform is, he couldn't be more grateful.

“How do ever say thank: you? I don't know what to say,” he told them. “I don't know what to say, except thank you.” The Valdezs insisted they were just the messengers. It was his fans who made the wonderful gift possible. Plus, the way they see it, they're just repaying Derlin for his kindness.

27、California condors are North America’s largest birds, with wing-length of up to 3 meters. In the 1980s, electrical lines and lead poisoning (铅中毒) nearly drove them to dying out. Now, electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to save these big birds.

In the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild to be bred (繁殖). Since 1992, there have been multiple reintroductions to the wild, and there are now more than 150 flying over California and nearby Arizona, Utah and Baja in Mexico.

Electrical lines have been killing them off. “As they go in to rest for the night, they just don’t see the power lines,” says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo. Their wings can bridge the gap between lines, resulting in electrocution (电死) if they touch two lines at once.

So scientists have come up with a shocking idea. Tall poles, placed in large training areas, teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric shock. Before the training was introduced, 66% of set-free birds died of electrocution. This has now dropped to 18%.

Lead poisoning has proved more difficult to deal with. When condors eat dead bodies of other animals containing lead, they take in large quantities of lead. This affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney (肾) failures and death. So condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los Angeles Zoo, where they are treated with calcium EDTA, a chemical that removes lead from the blood over several days. This work is starting to pay off. The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011.

Rideout’s team thinks that the California condors’ average survival time in the wild is now just under eight years. “Although these measures are not effective forever, they are important for now,” he says. “They are truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering them.”

【1】California condors attract researchers’ interest because they ______.

A．are active at night

B．had to be bred in the wild

C．are found on in California

D．almost died out in the 1980s

【2】Researchers have found electrical lines are ______.

A．giving condors’ journey home

B．big killers of Califorbnia condoras

C．rest places for condors at night

D．used to keep condors away

【3】According to Paragraph 5, lead poisoning ______.

A．makes condors too nervous to fly

B．has little effect on condors’ kidneys

C．can hardly be gotten rid of from condors’ blood

D．makes it difficult for condors to produce baby birds

【4】The passage shows that ______.

A．the average survival time of condors is satisfactory

B．Rideout’s research interest lies in electric engineering

C．the efforts to protect condors have brought good results

D．researchers have found the final answers to the problem

【5】What could be the best title for the passage?

A．California Condor’s Shocking Recovery

B．Dangers California Condors Face

C．How to Protect California Condor

D．California Condors’ Future Life

28、The tea gardens in Sri Lanka are actually large estates( 种植园). The best tea usually comes from plants grown on high grounds, the cool hilltops with rows and rows of tea plants. The plants are about one metre apart. The plant is often pruned so that it remains only 60 to 90 centimetres high. Pruning is important because it encourages the growth of tender shoots, or young leaves. It is from these shoots that the best tea is got.

Practically all the tea pickers are women. The estates prefer to employ women pickers because they are more careful. Their thin fingers can easily remove the twin leaves and new shoots from the plant, which are the parts used for processing tea. The pickers carry large baskets into which they throw their pickings. A skilled worker can harvest between 9 to 14 kilogrammes of tea leaves a day. Usually new shoots can be picked from the plants about every ten or fifteen days.

Processing tea shoots into the familiar dry tea leaves requires great care and skill. There are various methods of processing depending on the type of tea required. For black tea, the young green leaves are first spread out on shelves to dry. This process removes much of its water and the leaves become soft. After this, the leaves are passed through heavy rollers. This operation will press the leaves for juices which give the tea both its colour and taste. Then the leaves are spread out on floors and left to ferment（发酵）under wet conditions. Fermentation develops the rich taste of black tea. The fermented leaves are then dried with a hot-air blower until they become rolled-up black leaves. The final step is to sort and grade them before the black tea is ready for sale to countries all over the world.

【1】In the first paragraph, the word “pruning” means ________ .

A．regular cutting of the plants

B．frequent watering

C．regular use of chemicals

D．growing the plants high in the mountain

【2】One of the reasons why women are employed to do the picking is that ________.

A．they work harder than men do in the picking

B．they can throw their pickings more easily into the baskets

C．their fingers fit them better for the job

D．they can more easily find the twin leaves

【3】How many processing steps are mentioned in the last paragraph?

A．Three.

B．Four.

C．Five.

D．Six.

【4】What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?

A．To introduce various methods of tea processing.

B．To persuade readers to buy tea from Sri Lanka.

C．To tell a story that had happened in the tea gardens.

D．To inform readers of tea growing, picking and processing.
