26、   To this day, I remember my mum's letters. It all started in December, 1941. Every night she wrote to my brother Johnny, who had joined the army that summer. We had not heard from him since the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.

I didn't understand why my mum kept writing to Johnny when he never wrote back.

＂Wait and see—we'll get a letter from him one day,” she claimed.

Mum said that there was a direct link from the brain to the written word that was just as strong as the light God has given us. She trusted that this light would find Johnny.

I don't know if she said that to calm herself, dad or all of us down. But I do know that it helped us stick together, and one day a letter really did arrive. Johnny was alive on an island in the Pacific.

I had always been amused by the fact that mum signed her letters, Cecilia Capuzzi, and I made fun of her about that. “Why don't you just write “Mom”?” I said.

Around next spring mum had got two more sons to write to. Every evening she wrote three letters which she gave me and dad afterwards so we could add our greetings.

By and by, the rumor about mum's letters spread.

One day, a small woman knocked at our door. Her voice trembled as she asked: "Is it true you write letters?”

＂I write to my sons."

“And you can read too?” whispered the woman.

“Sure.”

The woman opened her bag and pulled out a pile of airmail letters. Read...please read them aloud to me.

The letters were from the woman's son, a soldier in Europe.

Mum had no difficulty reading the letters one by one and translated them from English to Italian. The woman's eyes welled up with tears.

“＂Now I have to write to him," she said. But how was she going to do it?

＂Make some coffee, Octavia," mum yelled to me. She seated the woman and started to write. When she had finished, she read the letter aloud to the woman.

＂How did you know that was exactly what I wanted to say?”

＂I often say and look at my boys' letters, just like you, without a clue about what to write.”

A few days later, more and more people in our town asked mum to write letters for them. Sometimes she would write letters all day long. Even after the war, many people turned to mum. On one occasion, mum admitted that she had always had a secret dream of writing a novel.

“Why didn't you?” I asked.

“All people in this world are here with one particular purpose,” she said. “Obviously, mine is to write letters. A letter unites people like nothing else. It can make them cry and laugh.”

Today, all mum's letters are lost. But those who got them still talk about her and cherish the memory of her letters in their hearts.

【1】Who wrote the story?

A.Cecilia

B.Octavia

C.Johnny

D.A neighbor

【2】Which words can be used to describe mom?

A.helpful and considerate

B.selfish and aggressive

C.confident and modest

D.courageous and understandable

【3】What can we infer from the story?

A.Johnny was killed during the war.

B.Cecilia realized her dream of writing a novel.

C.Cecilia was admired by many people.

D.All mum's letters are lost.

【4】What's the best title of the passage?

A.Mom's love

B.Mom's letters

C.War and Peace

D.A Cruel War

27、Smart Highway is a creative idea for smart roads of tomorrow: Smart Highway is the result of the teamwork between builder and developer Heijmans and designer Daan Roosegaarde.

Among them, Glowing Lines, the world’s first light-emitting (发光的) highway, is a safe and environment-friendly road. The site of the pilot project is a part of the N329 Highway in Oss, located in the province of Noord-Brabant, the Netherlands.

The road was built by Heijmans and was designed by Daan Roosegaarde, using light- emitting paints. The paints absorb ultraviolet light (紫外线) during the day and give it off for up to 10 hours at night. Solar energy panels(太阳能板) or other sources of power can provide energy to make sure that the road continues to provide light as required, despite weather or daylight hours.

The Van Gogh-Roosegaarde bicycle path is a creative path, inspired by Van Gogh’s Starry Night and designed by Daan Roosegaarde. There are thousands of light-emitting stones, giving visitors an experience of poetry and design. The path gets energy at daytime and emits light during the night. It is supported by LED light to make sure of safety, quality and light during the whole night. Art and technology merge in this new, public view. The bicycle path is 600 metres long and is part of the Van Gogh cycling path.

The Van Gogh-Roosegaarde bicycle path is set up as a cultural and enjoyable road, based on the light-emitting technologies developed for the Smart Highway. Riding a bicycle at this site is a wonderful experience. Furthermore, the path is lit up in such an environment-friendly way without destroying the ecology. As a tourist attraction, the bicycle path also offers economic added value to the Eindhoven region: Visitors can experience the pathway in the evening and will likely stay in the region longer.

【1】What can we know about the Glowing Lines?

A．It brings light pollution to the environment.

B．It cannot provide light continuously in bad weather.

C．It’s the only highway in the world which can emit light.

D．It’s the result of the teamwork among builders, developers and designers.

【2】What does the underlined word “merge” in paragraph4 mean?

A．Change.

B．Appear.

C．Mix together.

D．Take over.

【3】What can we infer about the Van Gogh-Roosegaarde bicycle path from the last paragraph?

A．It should be built in other cities.

B．It only attracts cyclists to Eindhoven.

C．Its light has bad effects on ecology.

D．It can promote the local economy.

【4】What is the purpose of this text?

A．To introduce two smart roads.

B．To tell us what future roads are like.

C．To show the history of the road development.

D．To stress the high technology of the Netherlands.

28、Most people are aware that our climate is changing and recognize that global warming is an obvious truth. Scientists around the world are now largely in agreement that we need to change our ways quickly if we’re to avoid an incoming climate disaster and cut down the damage we’ve done to our planet.

Human activity has caused the greatest increase in temperature. While global temperature waves in the past have often been caused by natural events, since 1950 humans have been to blame for a warming world. Through burning fossil fuels, increasing farming and agriculture and destroying forests, we have increased emissions(排放). Our thirst for power and resources seems unending and we will only slow down the damaging changes we’ve made if we take action quickly.

We all have a part to play in reducing consumption (消耗). Even seemingly small acts like auditing your company’s tap water use and wastage(损耗) could, when taken as a whole, make a huge difference to the pressures we are all putting on our planet.

Temperatures have risen by around a degree over the last 100 years: a one-degree increase in temperature might not sound like a lot but, in climatic terms, it’s a huge milestone. In the Paris Agreement of 2015, 196 nations around the world committed to controlling global temperature increases to below two degrees-and closer to 1.5 degrees. Mass extinction is another unwanted challenge facing us through a changing climate. More sadly, scientists now warn that if the situation doesn’t improve, we may well lose between 30 % and 50 % of the total species currently on Earth.

Climate change is a real and present danger facing the world. If we stand together and make small differences to our lifestyles and habits, we still have time to repair the damage we’ve done to our planet.

【1】What do we know about global warming?

A．Global warming is hardly admitted by most people.

B．Some scientists agreed global warming could be avoided.

C．All global warming is not mainly caused by natural events.

D．Global warming in the 1890s was caused by human activities.

【2】What does the underlined word “auditing” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Checking.

B．Saving.

C．Recycling.

D．Removing.

【3】What’s the purpose of listing figures in paragraph 4?

A．To analyze the temperature data in climatic terms.

B．To make readers feel sorry for species extinction.

C．To reduce scientists’ anxiety caused by global warming.

D．To stress the serious impacts of climate situation.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Global Warming and Its Effects.

B．Climate Change Calls for Actions.

C．Climate Change Causes Species Extinction.

D．Human Activities and Global Warming.

29、You must think a computer is the best thing in the world, right? You must think it works at a super speed and can do everything? Well, it’s not! In fact, the brain is much more powerful than any super computer! Think about when a glass is just about to fall off the table. Your brain controls everything that you need to do to save that glass from falling. First your eyes check out what’s going on, then tell your brain, and your brain decides how quickly you need to react, and then your muscles go into action. That is just from your brain. No computer could ever come close to that!

The brain weighs just 3 pounds, but it controls everything you do from thinking, learning, feeling even to breathing and your heart beating. Even though the brain is just 2% of your body weight, it uses around 20% of all your energy in your body. That is a lot for such a small organ. There are about 100 billion tiny, tiny little cells in your brain. There are so many that it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all!

Your brain stops growing when you’re 18, but it actually keeps on developing and learning new things. So your parents are really super smart! You won’t be able to fool them! Believe it or not, your brain never stops working. Even during sleeping, the brain works for long-term memory establishment. It is realized that the brain is the second organ in the body as the heart that never stops during human lives.

So everyone should be proud of such a gift of nature.

A．eyes and muscles react quickly.
